the journey continues Book Four

Bella defeats the darkness with inside herself

Bpov

I knew now I had to fight a battle with inside myself. I need to save my unborn child.

For my unborn child is fighting to. But I needed to fight with my heart and listen with my heart.

I slowly got up. "The darkness within me will not win because I am the child of light. I am the of goodness of pure love. The darkness does not belong within me only the light, goodness, faith, hope and most of all TRUE LOVE ONLY DWELLS WITH INSIDE SO DARKNESS BE GONE!" I said with me mind.

A bright light came down and appeared in front of me and then disappeared and a goddess appeared in front of me.

"Glory be child. You are a sight to behold!" She told me. I looked at her confused. "Child you beat the darkness within yourself. You broke your spell you put upon yourself. Don't fear me not." She walked up to me and place her hands on my stomach.

"She will be born of great hope, faith and love my child. She is like her brother and be born early. She is just like you and Edward. Be proud my child." She raised her hand and gently cupped my cheek and smiled.

"I'm your grandmother dear. Your mother's mom." She told me. I wrapped my arms around her as tight as I could.

I remember her when I was a year old. She was the one that gave me my crystal before she died. "Grandmother I miss you!" I told her with my mind as the tears fell.

"I know you have my child. As I have you. Know that I love you my child." She told me. "As I love you grandmother." I told her with my mind.

She stepped back. "Oh Edward will make it in time to see his daughter be born." I giggled at the thought of that but froze when she disappeared.

That would mean they wouldn't find me for awhile. I stomped my foot. "So not fair!" I said with my mind.

We were traveling when I felt this feeling of greatness that beat the darkness.

"You feel that Anthea? Bella did it! It took her a few days but she did it. But why do I get this feeling there's something else and it's going to take time to find her?" I asked Anthea.

"I was just wondering the same thing myself." She told me.

"So not fair!" I had to chuckle when I heard Bella's thoughts. "Well I can tell you Bella thinks it's not fair." Anthea shook her head and laughed.

It's been 4 months now and I have a baby bump now. The baby was growing fast. I had to change my clothes and wear a hooded cape.

I named her Hope Renee Cullen. She will carry my mother's name plus I remembered what my grandmother said that she with be born out of faith, hope and love. I liked Hope the best.

I haven't seen Edward since that day either or my sons and I really missed them.

I needed to rest soon it was already dark out when someone appeared and approached me. I kept my head down.

"Miss you shouldn't be out here by yourself." I was looking at the ground but I knew that voice.

Image's flashed through my head of the guard that beat me and tried to rape me. I gasped and stepped back from him.

"Don't you talk or are you a mute?" He asked me. I kept my head down. I was scared out of my mind. "I need you right now Edward!" I said with my mind.

We were camped for the night. It's been 4 months already and I was starting to go crazy not knowing where Bella was.

"I need you right now Edward!" I heard Bella's mind. I snapped my head up. I went into my tent and laid down because I knew what I had to do.

I closed my eyes and focus on Bella. "Come on baby where are you? Open your heart to me." I gasped when I felt it and I open my eyes.

I was behind a tree. I looked around it and there was two figures standing there.

"Miss I am going to ask you again are you a mute and are you alone?" He asked the other person.

Then my eyes widen as he backhanded across the face and she fell to the ground. But I felt it to. "Bella!" I said with my mind.

I walked out and kneeled beside Bella and gently cupped the side of face. "Don't let on baby!" I told her with my mind. She just nodded.

I turned my head and looked up. "Shit!" I said with my mind. It's him the guard that beat and try to rape her.

"May I ask the meaning of this?" I asked him. "She will not answer me." He told me. "Forgive me sir but my wife can not speak so if you do not mind I will take my wife and will be on our way now." I told him.

I helped Bella up. "Just go now and don't look back!" I told her with my mind.

"Why does she looked so familiar to me?" He asked himself with his mind.

As soon as we were out of sight I turned Bella to me. "Go north west baby and run now please. That's where we are northwest go. Follow your heart baby listen to it. Now go run please!" I told her.

She looked at me one last time and took off running. I open my eyes and got up and walk out of the tent.

"We need to go southeast now Bella got someone following her. He not a very good person. He was a guard that held her after they kidnap her. He did not recognize her though but he does think she looks familiar and I got this feeling he will follow her." I explained.

"Edward is it the same one that..." I stopped Christa before she could finish. "Yes it is Christa." I told her.

"YOU SHOULD'VE KILLED HIM EDWARD. IF HE REMEMBERS HER HE WON'T STOP THIS TIME. YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT SAW HIS DAMN MIND THAT DAY OR MY SISTER'S FOR THAT MATTER. I SEEN WHAT ALSO FIRST HAND WHAT THAT GUARD CAPABLE OF DOING IN BEATINGS ALONE EDWARD!" We all stood there just staring at Christa's sudden out burst.

"You want to know why I had to leave my sister alone. It was to save her life. That guard was so close to us that day I had to leave her." She looked down to the ground.

"I made sure the horse was tied up Bella was still on him and I went to distract that guard. Except it didn't go as plan. He also beat me but not with his hands but with a whip that he carries with him. After he left I knew I had to get myself help so I made sure Bella was alright first before I left. No one even knew not even my own dad." She finally looked back up at me with tears in her eyes.

I walked up to her and pulled her into my arms and held her as she put a death grip on me and just cried.

"Let's go find your sister shall we!" Christa looked up at me and nodded.
