Chapter 1: How It All Started
I felt like the life was drained from me. Slowly walking up to my bed I fell and dug my head into the sheets. I hadn't hurt like this since…since he left. Even saying his name hurt. I thought I was just getting over the pain. But when I heard his voice…and he didn't come. It broke my heart in a million pieces again. Each piece shattered into another million and spread through out my body. What had happened to me? Was I trying to hard? Did he really not care about me anymore? What had happened to us? Sobs escaped my chest as I grabbed the nearest pillow. My bodies were racked with sobs as the tears came again. Suddenly I heard a knock at the door. Slowly getting up I wiped my nose and walked slowly towards the door. Staggering I bumped into the door leaving a small scratch on my arm. Once I finished inspecting the wound I opened the door and saw Mike, Jessica, and Angela. Angela ran up and gave me a soft hug which in turn got me crying again. When my little 'episode' was over I invited them in and sat on the couch.
"We were worried about you Bella. You haven't been paying much attention in school lately. You seemed really distracted. We just wanted to make sure you were ok." Mike stated softly. I nodded slowly putting my head in between my knees.
"Hey I know how you feel Bella…I've had guys leave me before. I completely understand." Jessica smiled wrapping her arm around me. A crash was heard in my room.
"I'll go see what it is." They all nodded and I got up walking into the bedroom. I felt someone grab my neck and ram me against the wall.
"Hello Bella." I gasped as Victoria revealed her face. She squeezed my neck harder and I gagged. "Where is your precious Edward? Oh wait he left you. Decided that you weren't enough for him obviously.
"Just…just kill me. I can't liv…live without him." I choked. Victoria raised an eyebrow as she looked me over carefully.
"Why not this…I transform you into one of us then finish the job later. I'm sure this is a much better punishment then killing you. Turning you into exactly what Edward tried to protect you from." She began to cackle and showed her fangs. Fear began to well up inside me as I screamed as loud as I could. I screamed because I knew death was near, because my friends were in danger and most of all because I was alone. The door crashed open as Angela and Jessica both screamed. The last thing I saw was Mike throw himself at Victoria before I felt her fangs inject into me.
Edward POV
My ears twitched. I could have sworn I heard something. Oh well it didn't matter. I leaned my head back against the headboard of my bed and a soft dry sob escaped my lips. I still hadn't forgotten about her. Not even after months she hadn't left my mind. I closed my eyes as I started to daydream. Huh, what a human thing to do. Something she would do…no damn it, stop. "BELLA!" I opened my eyes and was down the stairs within a millisecond. That was Alice's voice. She had had a vision.
"Alice what happened?" I asked shaking her. She continued to dry sob as the vision came. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU SEE?" I shouted. Jasper grabbed me pulling me off of Alice. "LET ME GO NOW!" I roared struggling to get free.
"She was in pain…horrible pain. It wasn't just random pain. She was being…transformed." She sobbed drily. I stopped. No, not Bella. It couldn't happen to her.
"Who was it? Who did this to her?" I growled the hate and fury rising up in me.
"I pretty sure it was Victoria." I stood up and walked slowly towards the door.
"Edward where are you going?" Carlisle asked sternly.
"Going to kill Victoria. I'm going to make her regret what she did. I'm going to make sure she never lives to see another day go by. I'm going to rip her to pieces and burn her. Then I'm going to get Bella. She won't have to be alone." I ran out the door as I heard the shouts from my family as they begged me to stop. I didn't care. I was going after Bella and no one was going to stop me. No one.
Bella POV
When I woke my body was still in pain. I opened my mouth and screamed a loud pained scream. Someone ran up to me holding me in their arms. They were talking very slowly and cradling me. The fire jumped again and I screamed. I could here my three friends scream again. The person that was holding me was jerked away as someone ran into them. The pain of hitting my head was nothing compared to the fire that was becoming hotter and hotter. I screamed again jerking side to side. Someone shouted my name as I screamed again. Who was it?
Edward POV
Victoria slammed me against the wall again. I cringed not in physical pain, but because of emotional pain. Bella had screamed again. I roared and tackled Victoria to the ground as I slammed her head into the ground. "What's wrong Edward? You know its' funny…the last thing I remember her screaming was 'Edward help me it hurts'. She screamed that one the loudest. Too bad the pain is almost over. I was enjoying myself watching her."
"You're going to pay I'm going to make you pay for what you've done." She screamed again less quiet as I made out silent tearless sobs. It was done. Victoria smiled her sick little smile as she jumped out the window. "Get back here you bitch." I shouted jumping after her. Increasing my speed I tried to tackle her. Keyword tried. As I jumped she snickered and swerved. I collided with the ground and rolled a few feet. Victoria leapt on my back and punched the back of my head.
"Stupid lover boy. You are sacrificing yourself for that worthless bitch." I hissed in hatred and jumped to my feet. Turning I kicked her in the chest and watched her sail towards the trees. "Time to leave for me. Your Bella is already running for her dear life. You're too late." I stayed frozen in shock. Bella was already gone?
"BELLA!" I shouted and sprinted in the direction of the house. I could hear Victoria chuckle as my sobs keep coming.
Bella POV
"Could you please shut up?" I snarled. "I'm thirsty, your thirsty, when they wake up they will be thirsty. I'm trying to figure out how to get us a decent meal without killing anyone." Mike scoffed and turned his head.
"You could have been nicer." He growled. I hissed glared at him. "Sorry." He mumbled. I felt the weight from my back move and Angela lifted her head.
"Wha happened?" She asked groggily. I was in for another long explanation. "Are we like vampires now?" She asked more aware. Maybe not that long of one.
Edward POV
I was running faster than I had ever run before. Bella was in danger. My Bella was in danger. As I ran out of the forest I stopped before I ran into…oh shit it was Charlie. "Edward Cullen where is Bella?" He asked looking at her destroyed room. Maybe I should have cleaned up a bit. "Well…"
"Uhhh, I don't know." I answered carefully. He glared at me then back at the house. "I got a call from her friend saying she had heard loud noises at the house and I came to see what happened."
"And why were you here? I thought you left her forever."
"We were visiting you because we felt bad." I sighed in relief as I heard Carlisle's voice. "I'm here to talk to Edward because he left without permission. Come on Edward follow me. Charlie you might want to file a police report on your daughter's disappearance." Carlisle grabbed my arm and yanked me into the woods. "What the hell were you thinking? You could have ruined our secret? Everything we worked for could have gone down the drain. I know how you feel about Bella, but you have to consider things more carefully. Instead of just leaving you should have stayed with us so we could have formed a plan. Now you lost both Victoria and Bella." I sobbed dryly and tried to pull away. "No Edward you need to stay with us. Jasper and Emmet are looking for Victoria. Alice and Rosalie are looking for Bella. Esme is going to wait with me and help me keep an eye on you."
"You can't do this to me!" I shouted struggling. "She could be in pain! She could be lonely! You can't do this."
"I'm sorry Edward. You know I care for Bella deeply, but we have to think this through." Coming out into a clearing he dragged me to the ground as Esme hugged me.
"Don't scare us like that." She whispered into my ear.
"Let me go after her. Please." I said quietly. Carlisle shook his head and I sobbed more. Why were they doing this too me? Why were they doing this too the both of us? Emmet and Jasper came out of the woods looking down. "Did you find her? Did you kill her?"
"No we managed to trace her as far as the river, but we lost her scent." Emmet stated silently. "I'm so sorry." I leaned over because of the anger building inside of me. I didn't even hear Alice and Rosalie return.
"We managed to catch up with her, turns out that Mike, Angela, and Jessica was transformed too. Before we could say anything we were hit with a powerful shield that blocked us in and wouldn't let us move or talk. One of them has powers." She answered silently. I didn't move.
"You're…you're lying. Tell me you have her. TELL ME YOU'RE LYING!" I roared pounding the ground. As I looked up all the emotion leaked out as a single tear leaked down my face. "BELLA!"
Bella POV
I heard him shout my name. I stopped and sobbed. Why was he there instead of here? Did he not care for me anymore? Angela leapt from the forest and walked up to me. Jessica and Mike soon followed running up to me. "I'm sorry Bella. I didn't mean to put up the shield. It just sorta happened." Angela said softly putting a hand on my shoulder.
"It's ok. It's probably for the best. How are you guys?"
"I'm full." Mike answered. Jessica and Angela nodded.
"Let's get going then." I said. They all nodded and we started to run. Somehow I had become the leader of this group. If you could even call it a group. God was I confused. We didn't even decide where we were going or anything. "So where are we headed too?" I asked.
"I've always wanted to go to Canada." Jessica stated twirling her hair.
"Let's go to Ontario." Mike and Angela agreed suddenly.
"Wow that was weird. I wanted you to agree with me and you guys did. That was awesome. Dance like ballerinas." Mike and Angela began to spin and dance.
"What did we say about powers?"
"Not to use them on the group." Jessica grumbled sadly. Mike and Angela stopped then blinked.
"Don't do that again." Mike chuckled. "It was weird."
"So the person remembers what you made them do. So as long as we do little inconspicuous things people won't notice. That will help us in the long run." Angela murmured. I nodded and started to run again.
"Do you miss him?" Mike asked. I cringed and sighed.
"Yes, I'll never know true happiness again. He was the only person I could ever love and I probably won't ever love anyone the same way again. I don't really even want to be living, but I know I have too. Don't worry about me. I probably won't ever see him again."
"What if you do? I'd hate it if someone like that just got up and left." Jessica snuffed.
"But if she truly loves him then she would probably just be happy to see him. I mean if I saw the person I loved I'd be happy." Angela added quietly.
"Well we haven't gone through it so we wouldn't know. You know we're here for you Bella." I nodded solemnly. Would I ever be the same again?
"To Canada?"
"To Canada."
Sneak Peek:
Turning I gasped and dropped my books. He was sitting in the same exact spot. He was staring at me with the happiest smile I had ever seen. Many emotions swirled inside of me. Happiness, depression, anger, relief, and betrayal.
