Complications
Chapter 1: The realization
Bella POV
I sighed. Edward and his "Brothers and sisters" were on a hunting trip, and Esme was in Alaska visiting Tanya and her clan, so Carlisle were the only one at the Cullen's house. So I was left alone, with nothing to do but wait.
And wait
And wait some more
I glanced up at the clock.
'Only 3 more hours until Edward returns!' I thought to myself, trying to remember the last time he smiled.
'Most likely when he hugged me.' I thought back to Friday. It was Sunday, and I managed not to destroy anything or anyone. Including myself. I thought back to Friday night. Edward had constricted his arms around my waist, and I had thrown my arms around his neck.
" Bella, you can last at least a weekend without putting yourself in danger, right?" He chuckled and flashed that wonderful smile at me.
" I think." I breathed, trying not to let his deep eyes dazzle me, again without luck.
" Please don't die on me Bella." His eyes were pleading, and he looked like he was in pain.
" Yes Edward, I will try not to die." I said. Then my lips found his.
That's when I was pulled back to reality by some unknown sound. That's when I heard it again. It was a human scream, piercing the peaceful atmosphere. I scrambled to the window and looked out. There was a young girl outside on the street running, and cradling her arm to her chest. Her eyes were wild with fear as she ran. Then those brown eyes meet mine. It looked like she was trying to tell me something, no it looked like she was pleading.
That's when I saw why she was running for dear life. It reminded me of about two years ago, the dreadful day with James. There was a vampire on the street. In Forks. Without any other vampire around to hear anything. Carlisle was at the hospital, Esme was in Alaska, and Edward was at least 5,000 miles away. This vampire had crimson eyes, and wild black hair. He was very muscular, and he looked hungry. The girl screamed when he pounced on her, and pinned her to the ground. Just as he was about to finish her off I screamed. This was about just the stupidest thing a human could do around a vampire. Unless you wanted to die, this was a very stupid idea. So why did I do it?
Maybe it was because I wish when I got attacked by James that someone would care for me and help me. Maybe it was because I did not want the girl to die. Any reason it was, it did not stop what was going to happen next. The vampire slowly lifted his head, then looked at me. Right then I trembled with fear.
'What will Edward do if I die? Will he try to kill himself again?' I thought these dreadful thoughts as the vampire took one slow step towards me. I did the next stupidest thing you could do if a vampire was going to have you for dinner. I ran. I dashed for the back door and sped out in the opposite direction of the vampire and girl.
" Where are you going princess?" A deep voice growled.
I felt pain rush into my right leg as I tripped. The vampire threw me across the street, back to where the girl was on the ground, chest heaving. I crashed onto the concrete, and heard a huge crack. I felt something hot and sticky run down my cheek, and smelled blood. I had cracked my head open, and the blood was flowing fast. I knew I had no time left. I looked to my left and saw the girl. We exchanged glances as I saw that she was in the same condition as me.
" Look what I have here. Two dinner in one night. Lets start with the snack first!" The vampire snarled as he leaped onto the girl and bit into her hip. She screamed in pain at the same time I screamed in horror. The vampire turned to me after the girl stopped screaming. Blood and tears were running down my cheeks, and I knew I could not keep the promise to Edward. I was going to die, and there was nothing I could do about it. My mind flashed pictures of all the people who had ever loved me. Esme, Carlisle, and the rest of the Cullen's, especially Alice. I saw Jacob, and Rene. I saw Charlie, and Ang, and Ben. Lastly I saw Edward.
" EDWARD!" I screamed as the vampire pounced on me and bit into my side.
Then everything blacked out.
Edward POV
'Edward, she's fine, stop worrying and hurry up!' thought Alice as she ran and least 12 feet ahead of me.
I sighed.
'Only 3 more hours until I see Bella. I better make the most of them' I thought as I sped up to Alice.
" Edwards, would you please stop worrying! Your driving me crazy!" Jasper cried as the rest of us laughed.
" Sorry, but you know how clumsy she is. I cant help but worry." I said.
" Yeah, she probably trip and fall unto...Alice are you alright?" Emmett started to say, but Alice had suddenly stopped. She was having a vison.
The vampire threw Bella onto the sidewalk. There was a loud crack as Bella's head hit the road. Then Bella screamed in horror as the vampire sprang on her.
"EDWARD!" she screamed as the vampire bit into her side. Then Bella went limp.
"NOOOOO!" I screamed as I ran full out towards Forks. If I kept at this speed, I could get there in 2 minutes. Pain overwhelmed me as I kept running. I could hear Alice somewhere behind me.
'Edward, we may be to late' she thought.
"No! We will not be to late. I promised her I would keep her safe, she promised she would not die..." I started to cry tearless sobs. I kept running.
'Damn Edward, slow down! What's wrong?' Emmett thought as he tried to keep up with me, but there was not way in hell that I was going to slow down. My angel was dying, this was my own personal hell.
"Bella!" I sobbed. They shook my whole body, but I was not going to stop. She would survive, and that was that.
