Author's Notes I: Hey guys. No I haven't disappeared into the abyss and forgotten about you. I do fully intend to finish my other two stories but this one was bursting to come out. I have to thank Kym for pre-reading this and encouraging me as always and dontcallmeleelee for the amazing banner. I love it! Anyway here is the first chapter so - enjoy.
Shattered Awareness
Raindrops.
Beautiful, featherlike, tear shaped water droplets falling freely from the sky in a mesmerizing rhythmic dance.
That was all Bella Swan could think about as she laid motionless on the cold hard concrete floor that was her laundry room. The struggle barley evident on her bruised and battered face as her tired brain worked overtime pleading with her hands to move and put pressure on her exposed wounds or for her hoarse voice to call for help in case he came back. For her body to do anything other than just lie there on the dusty cold floor. But her body was just as stubborn as her mind.
She listened as the wooden door leading from the laundry room to the over grown back garden and lawn, that was in desperate need for a cut, swung violently with the onslaught of wind that came from the electrifyingly dangerous storm that seemed to be punishing Washington a little more than what was considered usual for this time of year.
Bella had thought she would have been used to storms of this magnitude, but they were basically unheard of in her hometown of Forks, Washington. The rain however was not uncommon or a sore sight to see as the lush greenery surrounding the city reminded her of her father and childhood home. A place where it basically rained 365 days out of the year. Yes - once upon a time Bella Swan had loved the rain. Often curling up in her small bed on the second floor of her father's house listening as the soft droplets fell from the dark moody skies at varying speeds of forcefulness imagining the beautifully dreary wet aftermath it would leave behind in its wake. But not tonight.
Tonight her imagination took on a whole other world. Apart from the rolling rumble in the sky and the slam of the wooden door her two story house was completely silent, no thanks in part to the fact that Bella was a fourth year surgical resident at Washington East Memorial Hospital coming off a thirsty six hour shift. Normally she would beg for the peace and bask in the quiet of not having her three rowdy housemates trampling all through the house but today – today she need the noise. Today she prayed for their chaos.
Bella could feel the thump of her heart as it tried to work overtime, compensating for all her injuries as the knowingly red thick liquid fell from her exposed wounds and begin to pool in circles around her motionless body. The darkness of the night, something that had never scared her before was now like a torturous nightmare as it frighteningly closed in on her. She tried to focus on her surroundings but was only able to make out small things through the flashes of lightening as each bolt illuminated the sky and her wrecked surroundings.
Raindrops.
Blistering cold dark thunderous raindrops. Pelting down in a harsh rage. That was all Bella Swan could think about.
Author's Notes II: I know it was short. But I promise more in the next chapter is full of goodness. R&R :)
