[It's nighttime, in the year of 1926. Bella is walking down a darken street in Chicago. Bella, Renee, and Charlie live in Chicago together. I thought since in older times, they probably wouldn't have gotten a divorce. And I didn't choose Forks or Phoenix because they probably weren't that big in those times. Enjoy and please tell me what you think about it!
B.P.O.V.
The night was unusually cold this evening and dark. The only thing that gave me guidance this night was glow of the full moon. I pulled my coat tighter around me and focused more on my surroundings. All the shops were closed and black. Not a thing stirred in this eerie twilight except for the slight breeze that made the hanging store signs creek in the wind.
I kept a brisk walk down the streets, my fear giving me fuel. I was not afraid of the darkness, oh no, on the contrary it thrilled me and gave me oddly a sense of protection. What I was afraid of in fact was the possibility of someone following me, like any other normal girl my age would fear. And yet I was surprised, by how I only tripped once in my whole journey so far and I was not quite sent sprawling to the frozen ground.
A sharp noise suddenly broke out and came from behind me. I turned swiftly to see a rat dive down into the abyss of a sewer. Calm down Bella! I yelled at myself as my heartbeat was palpitating. A few more streets and your home.
Another sharp noise pierced the odd silence that filled the night. I turned swiftly again to see not a rat but a vague figure in the darkness. I gasped and turned around. It's probably nothing. Don't need to get worried, now. I comforted myself, but yet my heart did not cease it's erratic beating.
I focused more on my feet and hurried slightly faster. I permitted myself one glance over my shoulder and regretted it.
The vague figure now looked somewhat closer and also picked up speed. I felt my heart skip a beat.
"Oh why oh why did I refuse a ride from father?!"
I knew if I picked up any more speed I would most likely fall and who knew what the consequences of that might be!
I looked up and to my dismay, I realized my home was farther than I'd imagined. And also, to my greater dismay another silhouette appeared out of the darkness at the end of the street.
Now, I went into full panic. I scanned the area. All the other streets were darker and probably useless anyways. And as I noticed before, all the shops were closed and abandoned. Quickly I shot a glance behind me, the figure started to look more define.
"Damn!" I murmured, ignoring my use of language.
I shot a look down the front end of the street. The person stood started to pace back and forth as if waiting to be summoned…
I felt my eyes brim by my frustration. Why isn't a shop open!
The figure became closer. Only about ten yards away. I had forgotten that I had frozen on the street and now here he was nearly to me. I started to run, despite the fact that I could not and tripped and fell to the ground but I was at least glad I got some distance away from him but now I was every step closer to his accomplice.
I felt my being fill with sudden fear and adrenaline. He became closer and the other fiend was now making their way down. By the light of the moon, I could see his features now.
The man was short and burly. His clothes were ragged and he appeared to be drunk. He smiled at me, his teeth rotting and disgusting. I cringed away from him as he took a slow step to me. He was only four yards away now and his accomplice close as well.
"Go away!" I squeaked unintentionally, I meant to put some volume and authority in my voice but it became dry in an instant.
"Now, why so dear?" Said the burly man, laughing boisterously and he took another step closer to me. A wicked smile spread across his face and he lifted an eyebrow at me. I shuddered as he called me dear but made sure to keep my face hard.
"Don't you dare take another step closer to me!" My voice was still a squeak but it shook defiantly.
"Now, now, dear why don't you be a lady and-," the short man looked over me to the other man whom I could now see and winked. "Help us out."
The other man laughed at this. I could now see his face: he was taller than the other and had a rat like face with the same evil grin. I shuddered as I thought what he meant by 'help us out'.
"Yes, help us out." He sneered at me. I looked at him through narrowed eyes and stood up, surprising myself immensely at my unknown courage.
"I will not help you, both of you, now please step aside so I may go home. My father is chief of police here and I could easily report you both if you do not let me by."
Both men laughed loudly at my threat and I faced the short man as I heard him take another step.
"Oh well that's a shame you won't help us dear. Yes, a shame indeed but whoever said we would let you by anyways is beyond me."
I froze as I stared at the horrid little man's face. His smile seemed to have no end and his eyes twinkled maliciously. I felt my heart beating unbearably fast.
Both men took another step closer to me. The short one very near by and the tall one close enough to bring me just as much discomfort.
I started swallowing to try to dry my throat for a decent scream maybe someone was near by.
The man laughed as I turned my hands into fists and he took another eager step towards me.
