Midnight Moons Chapter One: Strange Encounters Of The Vamp Kind El's POV The road was clear of other drivers. That's good. Or else I would have caused an accident going at 210 mph. All I could see was black road, blue sky, and a green blur surrounding me. I thought I saw another car in my rear view mirror, but I wasn't able to give it a second thought.
I heard somebody scream in pain.
It was nearby, hidden away in the woods. I swerved onto a dirt road and screeched to a halt. I jumped out of my car and ran in the direction of the cries. They were worse now. More painful. I could barely stand it. Eventually, I came upon a clearing and could believe my eyes. I saw very pale, very sparkly man standing over a girl. That wasn't the bad part. The guy was actually pretty cute. But it looked like he was trying to rip her leg off of her body.
"Hey!" I shouted. It stopped him. He looked at me, fire burning in his crimson eyes. He took a few steps away from the girl, dropping her leg. I could hear her shallow breathing. It scared me.
"Who are you?" He sneered.
"Not to be cheesy or anything but I just happen to be your worst nightmare." I smiled. He chuckled and said something I could barley hear. But it sounded like "I don't dream" Creepy.
Then he was gone. I couldn't see him. So I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and heard him. I took a step to the right just in time to sideswipe a punch. I opened my eyes to see him staring at me in amazement and confusion.
"You are not a very sneaky ninja, my friend.." I grabbed his throat and lifted him off the ground. "Who are you? What are you? Why were trying to kill here?" He only smiled. I could see all his teeth. That's when I realized a sound was missing in the air around me. One that should defiantly be there." Why don't you need to breath?"
"I am a vampire. That girl's 'family' killed an important ally of mine. The only thing that came to my mind was to kill her in revenge. My name is Joseph."
"Oh well the Joseph, I guess that I'll just have to leave you here. In pieces." He looked confused. And cocky. I dropped him hard.
"How do you plan to do that?" I reached behind my back and pulled out the most beautiful sword this side of the world. It shined in the slowly fading light.
"Like this." I sliced off his arm. He cried out in pain. And he started to breath heavily. But as I was about to chop off his leg, his arm reattached itself. The wound self healed and he stood.
"Weren't expecting that were you?"No,I wasn't. "Now before I kill you, can I know your name?" Okay so this guy is very ,very crazy. Who would want to know their victims' names? Good thing he's about to die.
"Not so fast Joey." I cut off his arms and legs quicker than vamp boy could blink. When he realized what had happened, he started to pull him self together but, thinking fast, I pulled out a lighter. And set his limbs on fire. The smell almost made me regret that. Almost.
"How could you know that we burn?"
"I didn't. But now I do. It was a very lucky guess." I held the lighter half an inch away from his neck and he screamed. If I didn't have better things to do, I would have giggled. "By the way, The name's Elriata."
By now the flame had spread over his torso. I didn't stay to watch. I ran over to the girl, her breathing had become deeper and that gave me a sliver of hope. But that quickly dissipated when I saw her body. It was beaten and bloody. I closed my eyes to hear where the blood was mainly coming from.
Her shoulder. I opened my eyes and pressed the edge of my shirt on her shoulder. But not before I saw that he had bitten her.
"Come on. Stay with me." I whispered.
"BELLA!!" I looked up to see another pale guy. Now he is one sneaky ninja. But he wasn't sparkly. Probably because the sun had finally disappeared behind the mountain. Only he wasn't angry. He was completely terrified.
"Please tell me you're a doctor." I said. He looked at me, almost as if he had just realized I was there. Which was most likely true.
"I am. What happened?" He instantly appeared next to me.
"All I know is that purple smoke stuff used to be a guy who was a vampire. She is bleeding from her shoulder."
"Okay. Move over there." I did as told and watched in a strange mix of amazement and horror as he put his lips to her shoulder and started sucking. It was like a train wreck. It's so horrible, but you really bring yourself to look away.
He stopped after a few seconds and pulled off his shirt. He pressed it onto her shoulder. Then looked at me.
"Are you alright?" He asked, standing.
"I will be once you tell me what the hell is going on!"
"I will. I promise. Don't move." I nodded. He had stopped the girl's-Bella, I think he called her-bleeding. He pulled out his cell phone, never looking away from her. He spoke so quickly I didn't catch anything. Finally, he shut it and picked the now unconscious girl up.
"Where is your car?"
"Over here." I led him through the trees to my black Eclipse. He slid her into the backseat as I closed my door.
"Are you sure you can drive?" He asked.
"Yeah. Trust me, I've seen a lot of freaky things in my life. This just adds to the already lengthy list. Where to?"
"I'll direct you. Just drive down the highway until I say otherwise." I sighed and nodded while turning onto the black road. As soon as my car touched asphalt, I slammed down on the accelerator and reached 150 mph in 30 seconds.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw the guy smile. He let out a low whistle.
"Nice. I didn't think Eclipses went this fast."
"They don't. I had a guy trick it out for me when I was in L.A. So, when do plan on making my confusion go bye-bye?"
"When we arrive at my home. And a much better doctor."
"Well at least tell me who you are." I looked over. Through his stoic expression I could tell he was contemplating his answer.
"My name is Edward Cullen." Yes! I thought. "She is my fiancée, Bella." His voice was flat.
"So, unless I'm crazy, I'm guessing that you are like Smoky back there?" I concentrated on the road before me.
"Turn here." Edward replied, changing the subject.
"I thought so." I whispered, smiling.
