Summary: What if in Edward had been a few seconds late at Port Angeles? What if Bella then became scared of every men's touch except Edward? A different take of Twilight

"Stay away from me" I warned in a voice that was suppose to be strong and fearless but came out nervous

"Don't be like that sugar" said the man, who looked like he was the leader

"We just want to have fun" said the other man, giving a raucous laugh

Before I could run he immediately caught my arms and held it

The others also started laughing and surrounded me, following the leaders lead

I wanted to punch him, to kick, use my self defence skills, even wanted to scream but nothing came out. I couldn't even move my body, as if I had no control over it

"She is definitely a pretty one" said on of the men and before I could even think, he ripped my half of my shirt

I did not want to go through this, I did not want to feel this. Why was this happening? Closing my eyes I tried to go in my mind and away from this situation. I did not want to feel anything

Just then suddenly for some reason the man who had been holding my arm was snatched away and the other's also stopped talking for some reason

Hesitantly I opened my eyes, hoping against hope that they decided to leave me alone

3 off the men were lying down on the road, they looked like they were beaten but the leader was not there

As I looked up I then saw that someone was holding the leader up, holding the leader by the collar and had pressed him against the wall in the alley

Whimpering, I leaned against the wall and sat on the road and protectively wrapped my arms around my knees

The thought of what almost happened shook me

Just then suddenly I felt someone put something around be and I looked up. It was Edward and I looked and noticed he had wrapped his jacket around me

Edward saved me…

"Are you okay?" Edward asked, almost as if forcing those words out, anger evident in his voice

The anger in his voice made he flinch, he was mad at me for being so weak…

As if noticing it, Edward eyes went wide and he held both of my arms, pulling me up

This time he looked at me with care and actually worry?

"Are you okay?" he asked, worry evident in his voice

I nodded soundlessly, I was not alright but somehow his presence made me feel safe. He protected me, he saved me from those goons, he cant hurt me…

Edward

I could feel the blood lust going through me, the want of killing this sick bastard who tried to touch her and his sick twisted thoughts had fuelled me and I wanted to break every single bone in his body and torture him so much he would be begging for death

But he wont get his death soon. I wanted to show him my style of hunting

The blood lust was so much I was going to hunt him immediately when a I heard a scared whimper

Through my blood haze I looked and saw the most heartbreaking sight

It was Bella, she was on the road, hugging her knees against her knees and had her eyes closed, whimpering

Looking how vulnerable and scared she was wanted me to kill that bastard again but knew that she need comfort. I needed to comfort her after what she had almost been through

Growling I knocked out the evil bastard and went towards her.

I took my jacket out and wrapped it around her

She then looked up at me with tears in her eyes

"Are you alright" I forced it out, still anger in my voice for what those bastards did to her

I saw her flinch at my tone

'Idiot, you made her scared by your tone, comfort her stupid!'

His eyes softened and he then calmed his anger and looked at her again

"Are you okay?" I asked again

She nodded soundlessly

Just then I was taken by surprise when suddenly she leaned forward and laid her head on my shoulder and also laid her hands on my chest

I was too shocked at first to respond but then wrapped my arms around her, letting her seek out the comfort she needed

Seeing her so vulnerable made me mad at myself, if only I had came her earlier, picked up those bastards thoughts earlier then she wouldn't be in this position

"Do you want me to drive to back to Forks?" I asked caressing her hair

"Yes" she replied in a small voice

Picking her up again in my arms I took her inside the Volvo
