Chapter one:
I was sitting n my room waiting for my turn in beating. Hearing my mom's screams was something horrible that chased me in my nightmares. I can't forget the first night this disaster started.
Flashback
I was watching T.V with my mom, Renee. Mom was divorced from dad in her early years of marriage. She married fresh out of high school to Charlie Swan, or Chief Swan now.
After the divorce she moved to Phoenix and had me. When I was 10, she married Phil.
I was snapped out of my reverie when I heard Phil slam the door open. He looked drunk. He lifted me of the couch and slammed me against the wall. I was too shocked to scream. Mom was screaming "What the hell are you doing? Leave Bella alone!"
I couldn't concentrate anymore. My vision was blurry and all I could feel was pain. Mom was screaming in pain too. Then Phil lifted to my room and crashed me against my bed. This is when I understood. I was being raped by my stepfather. It was too hard to believe.
The next thing was I felt was Phil leaving the room. I cried till I slept.
This was the first night of the sequel of my horrible dreams.
End flashback
I couldn't hear Phil but I heard mom breath, what I was assuming, her last breathes. I constantly took my purse that contained a little amount money it and my cell. I rushed out of my room. I found mom lying on the ground. "Bella, here are my car keys. Go to your dad. Go to Forks"
She handed me her car keys and she passed out. I ran to her car crying. I entered the key in the ignition and sped to the high way as fast as I could. I heard my phone buzz. When I picked it up it was a message…from Phil. It said:
You can run, but you can't hide.
I threw the phone out of the window and sped up so fast. I was becoming near to Seattle when I saw a car that I recognized in the review mirror. Phil. I increased the speed so much it reached 140 mi/h. The car started skidding on the road. The rode was wet with rain. The wheel went out of my control. All I could feel was pressure against my head and my sides. I heard Phil speed away.
Something pulled me out of the car. I tried to open my eyes then I saw a beautiful green-eyed angel. He looked so beautiful muscular boy. He had reddish-bronze hair and green eyes. I knew it.
I was dead.
Everything went black.
I woke up on the sound of murmurs from down stairs, I lifted to a sitting position and felt my head a little heavy. A heard a beautiful voice says "Carlisle is she going to be alright?"
"Don't worry Edward, she's going to be fine" said a calm thoughtful voice
I swung my legs over the bed to stand
"C'mon Edward, she's just a girl, or are you-"
The beautiful voice interrupted "Rose, her being a girl-
The moment I stood up I felt horrible pain in my leg so I collapsed on the floor with a scream escaping my lips.
The conversation stopped and I heard quick paces on the stairs and warm hands held me and placed me on the bed again.
"Are you ok?" asked the beautiful voice full with concern
"If you mean "ok" in the term of "alive in heaven" then, yes I am fine" I said with a sarcastic tone.
I heard a light chuckle escape his lips
"How are you feeling right now?" asked the thoughtful voice
"It doesn't matter now, does it? I mean I'm dead and in heaven so why would an angel ask how am I feeling?" I said
"Well FYI, you are alive, but you are a little bit injured." Said the beautiful voice
"It's just hard to believe, but I knew heaven wouldn't be that painful" I said as I lifted my head.
I saw the beautiful green eyed boy holding me and supporting my back. His face was facing me with a mixture of concern & pain.
"So, I'm alive, which means you are all in danger" I said
"And why is that" asked the beautiful boy who I was assuming is Edward
"You don't think I crashed my car in purpose, did you?" I said
"No, I think someone was tracking you, so you sped and skidded across the wet rode, am I right" said Edward
"Yes, it was my step father, he killed my mother and…. Where am I?" I asked
"Sorry, we didn't introduce ourselves, I'm Carlisle Cullen & this is my son Edward" he said pointing to Edward who was sitting beside me.
"Anyways, I've got to leave" I said as I was standing then I felt pain in my leg again and was going to fall but Edward luckily caught me.
"You're definitely not going to leave until you are fully recovered" said Edward sternly
"You should rest, you've been through a lot" said Carlisle
"Carlisle is right you should rest." said Edward
They turned the lights out, left the room, & before Edward closed the doors he asked me "What's your name?"
"Bella" I simply answered
"Bella" he echoed then closed the door
I lied back into the pillows and closed eyes
When I saw the concern in Edward's face, I felt a very beautiful and warm feeling. He looked at me like I was already part of his family, but not as a sister… It felt weird but comforting.
I wondered where I was right now but as long as I feel safe with Edward, it doesn't matter with me now.
I then drifted into a long but nightmarish sleep.
Edward POV
The night looked so beautiful. The moon shined bright in the sky with stars around in like sprinkled glitter. I've decided I need to go out a little bit.
I never went out since my ex-girlfriend, Tanya, cheated on me. We used to live in Alaska but I moved to Forks after this incident. I still shudder remembering everything that I saw.
Flashback
Tanya left the apartment early that day. She thought I was asleep so she left. The moment she closed the door, I jumped out of bed and dressed. I quickly ran to my car when I saw her take a cab. I kept following her till we reached the house of my friend.
I parked far away from the apartment building. I stepped out of the car and entered the building. I kept following her till we reached apartment #21.
I was shocked to here her say "Honey, open the door"
I was more shocked when my friend opened the door and took her in a hug and kissed her.
Then I knew what was going on. I quickly turned around and ran to my car.
I heard Tanya say "Oh my god! That was Edward!"
I left and we moved out of Alaska. Tanya was History.
End flashback
I shuddered once more
"Mom" I called "I am going out"
Mom or Esme was a very beautiful, passionate woman. She was with us the whole time. She never left us during hard times; she was there, always there.
She came fast and gave me a kiss on the cheek "Have fun honey"
"Of course, Mom" I kissed on the cheek & left.
I rode my silver Volvo and went to the Seattle highway. I parked on the side and rested my head back on the leather chair.
Suddenly I heard noise from the back of the road. When I twisted in my seat to see, I saw a car speeding up on what seems to be 140mi/h. Another was after it but slower.
The first car started skidding along the rode then it started roll over its side and landed on the right side.
The other car just made a U-turn and left.
I quickly jumped out of the car and raced to get the driver out of the almost exploding car.
When I opened the passenger seat door, I found a girl about 17 years old girl with mahogany brown hair. I quickly pulled her out and cradled her against my chest.
The girl opened her eyes, which were chocolate brown, slightly and closed them again. When I saw her eyes I felt a feeling of warmness. I knew I must save her. I just knew it.
I put her in the backseat and raced back to the house hoping Carlisle, my dad, would help her. She was bleeding from her head and right arm.
When I reached the house, I got out and cradled the girl again.
"Carlisle" I yelled as I opened the door of the house "Carlisle, please come"
Carlisle appeared out of the kitchen and said "What is-Who is this girl?"
"Carlisle, please not now just get your medical equipment and come to my room, FAST"
I placed the girl gently on my bed when I heard Carlisle say as he rushed to start working on her "Did you hit this girl with the car, Edward?"
"No, Dad"and then I told him about the whole accident and the car that was after her.
After he was done we turned to go down stairs when I saw Rosalie leaning against the wall. Rose was my Brother Emmett's girlfriend. She was staying with us .
"Rose, did you hear anything" I asked
"I actually heard everything" She said
So I gestured to her to go down stairs, and she did so we followed.
"Carlisle is she going to be alright?" I asked in concern
"Don't worry Edward, she's going to be fine" said Carlisle in a calm thoughtful tone which made relax
"C'mon Edward, she's just a girl, or are you-"
I interrupted "Rose, her being a girl-
I heard a scream from upstairs; I knew that the girl woke up. I ran up stairs and opened the door quickly to find the girl lying beside the bed on the floor. I rushed to her and held to place her on the bed again.
"Are you ok?" I asked with my voice deep with concern
"If you mean "ok" in the term of "alive in heaven" then, yes I am fine" she said with a sarcastic tone
A light chuckle escaped my lips. She thinks she's dead
"How are you feeling right now?" asked Carlisle
"It doesn't matter now, does it? I mean I'm dead and in heaven so why would an angel ask how am I feeling?" said the girl
"Well FYI, you are alive, but you are a little bit injured." I said
"It's just hard to believe, but I knew heaven wouldn't be that painful" she said as she lifted her head
Her face looked better than the way I found her during the accident except for the big bandage that was on the right temple of her head and the scratches that stretched from her temple to her neck. But the memory from the accident just caused me pain that I didn't now from were it came from.
"So, I'm alive, which means you are all in danger" she said
"And why is that" I asked, confused
"You don't think I crashed my car in purpose, did you?" I said
"No, I saw someone was tracking you, so you sped and skidded across the wet rode, am I right" I said
"Yes, it was my step father, he killed my mother and…. Where am I?" she asked
"Sorry, we didn't introduce ourselves, I'm Carlisle Cullen & this is my son Edward" he said pointing to me.
"Anyways, I've got to leave" she said she was standing then she winced in pain and fell but fortunately I caught her
"You're definitely not going to leave until you are fully recovered" I said sternly
"You should rest, you've been through a lot" said Carlisle
"Carlisle is right you should rest." I said agreeing
I turned the lights out, and left the room, but before I closed the door I asked her
"What's your name?"
"Bella" she simply answered
"Bella" I echoed then closed the door
"What do you think happened to her?" Carlisle asked as he walked to his room to get some sleep
"I truly don't know dad, but I hope she gets better" I answered
"Where are you going to sleep son?"
"I'll sleep on the couch in the living room dad"
"Ok just don't fall over" he said teasingly
"Kay dad, Night"
"Night son" he said then he entered his room
I turned around to see Rose standing behind me
"Rose will you please stop sneaking up on me" I said sternly
"I wasn't sneaking up; I was going to my room. Night Edward"
"Night Rose" I said then I went downstairs.
I lied back and closed my eyes trying to sleep. I then drifted into sleep dreaming about Bella.
