Forbidden Memories
Chapter 1 - Promises
(Bella's POV)
Maybe I'm dreaming, I don't know but it sure feels like it. What was surprising was that I wanted to wake up and see the look on my Father's face. All of a sudden my surroundings changed: I was lying on a bed of wild flowers, I ran my hands through the grass underneath me and sat up.A large shadow emerged from the tall trees and moved towards me slowly get gracefully. As the figure got closer I realised that it was Jacob. Jacob - my best friend and werewolf - smiled his smile and gestured his hand towards mine and I reached mine out to hold his. He pulled me up without effort and chuckled quietly, we walked rapidly until Jacob let go of my hand. I looked at him and frowned, his face was serious now, cold even. I turned naturally to see what he was staring at so sheepishly. At that moment a strong gust of wind blew my hair over my eyes and blinded me for a split second, but nothing could have stopped me from freezing right here, right now. I reached to yank the piece of hair away from my face but someone bet me to it, Edward was standing in front of me perfect and forever seventeen. I heard a growl, coming from Jacob's chest.
"Bella, I'm here I promise I will not leave you ever again" he whispered into my ear. "I love you, I promise". I shivered but not because I was cold, but because I felt at peace. There I stood with Edward in my happy place.
I awoke to the sound of my Mother's footsteps, she opened the door and peered in to see if I was awake. "Bella, wake up your Dads here to take you home" she said.
" Mom, what time is it ?", I croaked.
"You know that you can stay if you want, We c-" I cut her off.
"Mom look I really need a shower!"
"Okay, if you need or want something just ask" her voice sounded broken.
As she shut the door I quickly got changed and headed into the bathroom to brush my teeth.
I gathered my clothes and stuffed them into a small suitcase, I bent down to pick up my converse to shove them into the bag too but I noticed that outside was dark, too dark for Jacksonville. I felt unusually inclined to walk up to the window and take a look outside, why on earth was it pitch black outside? I slowly walked towards the window and sitting outside was a silver Volvo. I gasped in shock , my body felt numb again, my heart was silent.
Before I could think about anything else I ran down the stairs and opened the door, I sighed as I caught my breath. There was no Volvo, no vampire - I couldn't bring myself to think his name."Bella! BELLA!" a familiar voice screamed with worry. My head began to spin and I collapsed, I felt nothing until my eyes closed.
