Disconnected
It was midday. The sun shone on me from high in the sky. I knew that it would set in about five hours.
I ran swiftly through the forest to the spot where I would meet Edward.
Edward had left me a note in the morning that said:
Dearest Bella,
Meet me in the clearing that I showed you when you were once human.
Your true love,
Edward
I was shocked that he had finally refered to my human form. He never spoke of it until now.
I knew exactly what clearing Edward was talking about. The one clearing where he showed me what he looked like when he came in contact with a ray of sun. He was more beautiful than anything I had ever seen.
I knew that Edward would be waiting there for me in the clearing. He wouldn't ditch me for anything else. Would he? the clearing quickly appeared in front of me.
My run slowed to a walk. I entered the open, bright clearing without hesitation.
My eyes scanned the clearing, searching for Edward. my eyes found no sign of a living organism.
"Edward?" I said, hoping that he would respond to what I had said.
Nobody answered. No voices were heard.
A sudden wind burst into me, knocking me backwards.
Inside the wind there was a voice. It sounded like a girls voice. Maybe it was just Edward and Alice trying to scare me. The voice finally spoke in a ear screeching, high soprano voice.
"I'm coming to find you." the voice said.
An evil laugh followed the words. it was at that moment that I knew it wasn't Edward or Alice. It was somebody who wanted to seek their revenge on me.
My mind clicked at that moment and I finally said the word.
"Victoria." I gasped under my breath.
The voice came closer and closer to the spot where I stood.
I quickly turned around and sprinted back to the Cullen's house.
Clouds rolled in from the east, blocking out traces of sunlight. Drops of rain fell from them, patting my hair down against my face and neck.
The voice never ended. It still kept getting closer and closer toward me. Was Victoria really back from the dead? Did she just want to find me and make my life miserable? I knew that Victoria had wanted to kill me in revenge for James, but how much was she willing to give up to do this?
I finally came to the broken down bridge that was moments away from the Cullen's house. I jumped over it, hesitating to think about what was happening and if I should be running away.
I got to the other side and noticed something. On the other side of the creek, a dark shadow lurched side to side scanning to find where I had gone to. The shadow looked straight at me and disintegrated into nothing. the voice finally came to a close after the shadow disappeared.
I watched the side of the creek that the shadow had once been standing upon. Victoria was a vampire, dead or not. She would do anything to get rid of me once and for all.
I ran to the door of the Cullen's house, hoping that at least one of them would be there. I rand the door bell without one second of thought.
Ding Dong
"Coming!" a voice called from the other side of the door.
I was panting on the doorstep, waiting for them to let me in. The door swung open without anymore wait.
I stepped inside, waiting for them to recognize me. I knew that they weren't expecting me to come to their house.
