The story takes place after Twilight but before New Moon and Eclipse.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything!
If you asked me, today was definetly going to be a good day. The first thing that greeted me in the morning was the face of my love. I absolutely loved waking up in his cold but loving arms.
„Good morning, love!" he said before he softly kissed my forehead making my heart race.
„Morning to you, too" I said my voice still laced with sleep. Smiling my favorite crooked smile he leaned down and captured my lips with his in a soft kiss causing my head to spin. After pulling away he rested his forehead against mine inhaling my scent.
„So, what do you want to do today?" he asked me.
„I don't care as long as you're with me!" I said honestly making him chuckle quietly.
„I think we can arrange that! Maybe we could go to the meadow, after all we haven't been there for a long time. What to you think?" What I think? I think it's a perfect idea of course! I nodded smiling.
„ Well, then why don't you go and take a human moment while I prepare you something for breakfast!" he said already standing up with me in his arms and making his way to the bathroom grapping my bag on our way. After kissing me one more time, he left me alone in the bathroom. Happily I made my way to the shower and let the hot water relax my muscles. Then and now I would think about the amazing man downstairs in the kitchen and start smiling like an idiot. How could one person make another one so happy with his mere presence?
Finally I was finished and made my way downstairs. There I was greeted with a kiss and an amazing breakfast that consisted of pancakes, eggs and bacon. Smiling he told me to sit down and try what he made for me. I accepted the food gratefully seeing as I was starving.
„Thank you! Oh my god! This tastes absolutely amazing." the smile I got was full of happiness and proud. It actually made me laugh.
„What's so funny?" his head was tilted in confusion causing me to laugh even harder. This was probably one of the moments he really, really wished he could read my mind. After some time my laugh subsided and I was finally able to form a coherent sentence again.
„Sorry! It was nothing important.!" I said reassuringly.
„Sometimes I really wish I could read your mind and understand how your mind works."he said shaking his head.
„But what would the fun in that be!" That made him laugh.
„So are you ready to go?" he asked me after I finished breakfast.
„Sure, let's go!" I answered.
Taking my hand he lead us out to his car that he must have gotten after Charlie has left and before I woke up. Like the gentleman he is he opened my door and helped me inside. As quick as a flash he was at the driver side and in the car. The drive was actually pretty quiet except for some occasional questions. We reached our destination really fast thanks to Edwards driving. Once we were there I realized that we would have to run again. Oh no!
„Don't worry Bella. Just keep your eyes closed, then it will be okay.!" Edward calmed me upon seeing my expression.
„Let's get it over with!" I said sighing and let Edward help me to get onto his back. Fortunately, Edward was not harmed by my legs and arms as any human being would have been. But the something unexpected happened. Suddenly I felt Edward stiffen and then he stopped abruptly taking me by surprise.
„What's up?" I asked timidly thinking it was my fault that he stopped.
„Something has happened. I smell blood. The meadow is full of it." his voice seemed full of worry and sounded distant as if he was contemplating what to do next.
„What?" I exclaimed shocked. Why was the meadow full of blood, what has happened there? Edward dropped me of of his back and stood protectively in front of me. Well, at least he was still his overprotective self.
„Stay behind me Bella, okay? Don't worry, I'll keep you save. And do as I tell you, please!" he looked at me reassuringly and squeezed my hand gently. Slowly, we made their way to the meadow with Edward looking precautionary around. My heart was probably pounding so rapidly and loudly that it could be heard all over the place at least if you were a vampire with super hearing. Eventually we came to the border of our favorite place, although it took much longer then it normally would. By now even I was able to smell the rusty odor I hated so much and made me dizzy. Edward who noticed my change held tighter onto my hand apparently to reassure me of his presence. Then we finally let the trees behind us and stepped into the clearing. The once absolutely beautiful meadow looked like a slaughter house. There was blood everywhere, but what really caught my eyes was the small figure lying in the center. Her wounds were awful but she was still alive, her breathing however shallow. If I had met her under normal circumstances, I would have been stunned by her appearance and claimed that she was even more beautiful than Rosalie. She had dark, curly auburn hair and amazing dark blue eyes. She looked like a model with her figure and slightly tanned skin. But her beauty was marginal considering her perilous injuries. I was unable to do anything at the moment. How could anybody totur another human being to such an extent? The girl was about my age and looked like she was on the brink of dead. By now the girl did acknowledged our presence and stared at me with a strange expression. Her eyes held mostly pain but there was also confusion written in her face. That she did that in her condition seemed like a mirical to me. Edward who still stood in front of me, made sure the ones you did this to her were nowhere near us anymore. After a few seconds he turned to me looking intently into my eyes.
„Bella? Are you okay?" he asked softly with worry in his eyes. My facial expression was obviously not the most reassuringly. But what did he expect considering the situation before me.
„I'm okay. But she isn't! Who would do anything like that to someone?" I asked my voice breaking in the middle. His expression was soft as if to not scare me.
„I don't know, Bella. Listen, I am going to look what I can do for her. In the meantime, you are going to call Carlisle, okay?" he spoke ina slow and soothing voice and handed me his cell phone. He kissed me softly on the cheek, then he made his way to the dying girl. Trying to calm myself I took a deep breath, then I dialed Carlisle number. Thankfully he answered after the third ring.
„Hello?" his calm voice made me instantly feel more composed.
„Carlisle, you have to came to the meadow immediately. There is this girl, her blood is everywhere and I don't know how long she can endure her injuries! Edward is with her at the moment." I sounded frantic even to my own ears and I even wondered for a moment if he understood what I said. But then he promised me that he was going to leave at once and that he would be there in 5 minutes. Sighing I hung up knowing there was nothing else what I could do to help. Heaving another sigh I turned around to see how Edward coped with the whole situation. What I saw shocked me. There knelt Edward next to the girl looking horrified beyond belief, the girl's eyes were wide open and looked like Alice's when she had one of her visions. With her right hand the girl held on to Edward's wrist almost desperatly. Shadows were visibly in her eyes almost like pictures. Angst was definetly an understatement for the feeling I felt at that moment. What was she doing with Edward? I have never seen him like this before! His expression changed every now and then, it went from shocked to sad to painful in mere secunds. I was rooted in the spot. I have never felt that helpless before not even when I was trapped by James. Calling out his name was useless, so I approached them cautiously. Suddenly she let his hand go. Swiftly Edward stepped back from her looking amazed and disbelieving at the same time.
„That can't be possible!" his beautiful was shaking. Realizing that I stood next to him he pulled me into him and held me tightly as if he hasn't seen me for ages. I was confused beyond believe. What was going on? What has just happened? Just then Carlisle appeared in the clearing.
To be continued...
