Darkness Rage

"I'm going hunting Bella", Edward said, slipping his arms around me and nuzzling my hair. I felt disappointed. "Damn it", I murmered. He chuckled and kissed my throat softly. "I'll be back in a couple days." That was so long away! "Hurry back", I said. I wrapped my arms around his neck and lifted my lips to his. He stroked my back and I twisted my fingers in his hair.
He pulled back to touch my cheek. He kissed my forehead and was gone. I stuffed my hands in my jacket pocket and turned to my truck and drove away. At Charlie's house I lay in bed and stared at the ceiling until my heavy eyelids won over and I fell asleep.
I got off work around 5 and was driving home. How I hated Mike Newton! I drove through the darkness when I turned the headlights on and something lunged at my truck. The windshield cracked and the truck went off the road into a tree. I was ok I think. I got out; maybe I hit something when I saw the figure walking over to me.
It's a great wonder how so many things can go bad so quickly with great force. And that's how I felt staring into the crimson eyes of a killer. His black hair was tied back into a strip down his back. A thin red cloak went to his knees. He had a knife at his side, a revolver on the other. Why would he need that when he was 10 times stronger, faster, and more powerful than I? His teeth white as pearls gleamed in the darkness. I felt sick as he said, "Time to go". Go where? I thought but I didn't trust myself to speak.
He laughed, staring at me, delighted by how terrified I was. He whispered in my ear, "Silly little girl. I'm bringing you as a gift, for Aro. We are going to Volterra and we're going to have fun". I dug my feet into the gravel and twisted viciously from his grasp. Surprised at my ferocity, he let go and I tore off down the streets, despite my clumsiness.
He was in front of me then, "Stupid girl, trying to run away deserves punishment". He thrust his hand into my skull and I was sent flying. I hit a tree with a yelp. My shoulder was torn open and my head pounded with pain. I looked up as the man descended on me. He took out his knife, "I'm not finished yet." He positioned the blade dramatically at the nape of my neck, and slowly tore into my flesh.
I screamed with pain as he trailed slowly down my back to my side and ending at my waist. Tears streamed down my face and he leaned in my ear. "We always win", he whispered.
He brought his fist down on my head once more and everything went black.
