As much as I would love owning it, sadly 'Twilight' belongs to the wonderful Stephanie Meyer.
This is my take on how I think New moon should have went down. Starting in the meadow Bella has just arrived. Maybe Alice has a different vision that Edward has to deal with. He will need his families help. Chapter. 10 Page. 225.
Chapter 1
When I made it to the meadow I realized it wasn't the magical place Edward and I once shared. It was still breathtaking and the soft white, purple and yellow wildflowers blow in the subtle breeze. The sun hazing the perfectly round meadow, almost so round it made you think it was man made, with buttery sunshine but, the magic I was expecting wasn't here. My beautiful hallucinations that I came looking for weren't here. I dropped to my knees in disappointment. It felt just as the Cullen's house did when I went looking for my delusions there. I repeated the words again in may head that he said the last day in the forest:
'It will be as if I'd never existed'.
I had let my presumption get the best of me. I was glad that Jacob wasn't with me. I never let him or anyone else, for that matter, see me like this, an empty shell. The hole inside of me ached and I wrapped my arms around myself trying to hold myself together. I couldn't help but to think that maybe if Jacob had seen me like this he would understand why we could only be friends, maybe even let go of the hope for more. Deep down inside I knew that it wouldn't change anything. I may have already pushed him away that night we went to the movies. It was only two weeks ago, but it felt like a life time. My day's were cold and dark without my own personal sunshine.
All of a sudden, my thoughts paused, the hair on my arms stood up. I felt as if something was watching me. I scanned the rim of the forest and wiped my head to the left when out of the corner of my eye, I saw a figure moving toward me and my heart started beating uncontrollably. I squinted my eyes against the light to see in the shadows, my mouth dropped with surprise. It was Laurent, one of the nomad vampires that the Cullen's and I ran into last summer. He looked the same as he did last time I saw him, almost exactly. As he walked towards me, my eyes scanned his face. He smiled and his teeth glistened in the light. My eyes locked to his and my body clenched when I noticed his eyes were crimson red. I had been expecting them to be topaz like Edwards and the rest of the vegetarian vampires.
Edward had told me Laurent had went to Denali after our run, last summer, in the clear with James and Victoria. They were a small coven of nomad vampires that came across the Cullen's and I while playing baseball. James was a tracker and he decided to make me his next target. He almost succeeded but Edward and his family took care of him. Victoria was his mate, she got scared off and we didn't hear from or see her after that. Laurent was tired of James' ways and disbanded from the small coven before they started tracking me. Last I heard he decided to go and join Tanya's family in Denali. They are the other family of vampires that choose to live like the Cullen's. Laurent and one of the sisters, Irena, had grown quite fawn of each other.
Just then Laurent began moving toward me and stopped about fifteen feet away. He took a glance around then looked and smiled at me. The voice inside my head, the hallucinations I came looking for let out a low deep and defensive growl, that was the point I knew I was in danger. Edward's musical voice, in my head, was angry again, which meant I had gotten myself into a dangerous and reckless situation. The growl was the same deep and defensive one I heard in the clearing when James positioned himself to attack me. Then, Edward's voice told me "play it coy, Bella."
Just then Laurent spoke with his voice calm and smooth. I could detect a hint of triumph in it. "What do we have here? Well, hello Bella".
I used that as my cue to get to my feet. Edward's voice said "Easy, no sudden movement." I tried to do it as slow and smoothly as my human body would allow. I put my best fake smile on, " Hello, Laurent. What a surprise to see you here? Last I heard you were with Tanya's family in Denali."
" I was dear Bella, 'till recently. But the diet was becoming a little unbearable, so I decided to venture out on my own". he replied.
"Oh!" was all I could think to say. He didn't need to explain anymore. I could tell by the crimson eyes staring at me, his venture involved human blood. Edward's voice in my head screamed at me. " Encourage him". I paused for a minute fighting to keep the friendly smile on my face, but I knew that my eyes were showing my true feeling of fear that washed over me.
"Well… I hope you decide to go back to Irena in Denali. Edward gave me the impression you were making Irena very happy. As she you." I heard my voice shake as I spit out the last few words.
" I plan to go back when I have fulfilled my desires of this venture" he replied.
" What's that?" I asked already knowing the answer.
"To cheat!" He answered quickly and smiled.
"Oh." I murmured. Not being able to pull my face together. Edward's enchantingly charming voice was screaming at me again. "Try, Harder, Bella. You Must try HARDER!!" I couldn't think of what to say so I blurted out the first thing that came to mind, "What brings you to Fork's then?"
He chuckled. " I ran across Victoria on my venture. She told me what she's been up to since your 'Cullen's' had their way with James.
" What would that be." I asked and cringed at the memory of last year when James almost killed me.
"You my dear!" was all he replied, still smiling.
"Huh?" was all I could fluster in response as Edward's growls filled my head.
"You see, she is looking for revenge. I though I would come down here and see if I could dig up any information that would help", stated Laurent
"Revenge?" I replied with a puzzled look on my face. Was she looking for Edward then?, Think I would be able to lead her to him?, I thought. "Sorry, your not going to find Edward or the Cullen's with me." I replied with a little resentment in my voice.
Laurent just shook his head and said " She's not looking for Edward or the Cullen's, Bella, Just you! She feels it seems better….mate for mate, you see?".
I shuddered and I could feel my face fall. I thought of the beautiful red headed nomad hunting me. I don't know if Edward would ever know what happened to me if she found me. Would he even care anymore?.
"You see Bella?, I think it might be your lucky day. Victoria plans a long and painful death for you, but you can avoid it." He smiled at his words as I tried to understand. If she didn't get me today, she would someday. At that point I couldn't hold it together anymore and I fell to my knees gasping.
"She will find me someday unless you think she will stop for some reason." I said
"Silly Bella. You're lucky I found you today", he said fallowed with a devilish smile, "I will make sure it's quick". His expression grew darker, compounding with my already grown weariness.
I gasped " You don't want to do that?, do you?" Edward's voice spoke again. "Threaten him!". "You will not get away with this!". I paused to gather some intimidation to add to the next couple of words, then as serious as I could, I boldly stated, "you don't want to end up like James". I tried to sound as threatening as possible, but I knew the fear was apparent.
"They will never know what happened. I'll make sure of it!. It's nothing personal Bella, you just caught me at a bad time and my thirst will conquer this battle." as he spoke, he started to get into a hunting position, teeth showing, eyes widened and adrenaline pumping
I couldn't bear to watch, I throw my hands over my face. I could only think one thing, 'If this is the consequence for loving Edward then it's worth it'. My love for him made up most of me and I wouldn't change that, not last year when I came face to face with James and not now. I felt a swift gust of wind brush across my side and I started tumbling. I was waiting for the pain to come, then I heard a deep growl. It reminded me of Edwards but it wasn't in my head this time. Unable to control myself, I slowly looked, scared that Laurent would be right next to me waiting. I looked and just for a moment, found myself in disbelief , "I must be dreaming, It was all a dream, but it didn't feel like a dream" I told myself.
In front of me was Edward, in his defence crouch, growls bellowing from his chest. This had to be a dream? But, in all my nightmares, Edward was always out of reach and now he was so close I could touch him. I tried to raise my hand but it wouldn't move. It was frozen, in shock like to rest of me. Just then, when I was sure they were about to lunge at each other, something caught their attention and they both swiftly turned the head to the right of the us. It took a few seconds for my human eyes to comprehend what I saw next, out of the forest, five big wolves came walking toward us, teeth showing and growling so loud, it made the ground beneath me shake. They were in a V formation and they all looked the same, but had their own unique differences. The one that was closest to me, as they approached, was a reddish brown and his fur was thick and shaggy. His eyes locked on mine and there was a strange familiarity there, but I couldn't place it, not that I should be able to.
"Stay very still, my love. Don't even breath!" Edward said and it wasn't 'till then I realized I as gasping and my heart was beating uncontrollably. The wolfs confirmed this to be a dream. With all the time I had spend with the Cullen's before, I've never seen or heard of mutant wolfs, but my dreams were never this real. My head whipped to the side as Laurent started moving back toward the forest with the same look of defeat he had last year when his coven was going to attack me and the Cullen's came to my defence.
"Don't forget the treaty! I'm not a danger to her. He is". Edward hisses. A few seconds went by before he spoke again, " I don't care that you crossed the line. You didn't know we would be here." he paused again. It's was like he was talking to the wolfs. This was a dream!. In the real world Edward couldn't read the mind of animals. "If you don't kill him I WILL!" he shouted and the wolf started walking in Laurent's direction. Laurent turned, and like a flash of light, he ran into the forest with the wolfs right on his tail.
Edward crouched down and placed his hand on my cheek. His skin felt the same as it used to and I gripped his chest, the sobs broke through me and I felt so weak. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me up on his lap. I knew I shouldn't allow myself to get this carried away and was going to pay for this when I woke up, but I didn't care. I felt safe again in his arms and I was whole again. I would deal with the pain later if in meant I could be in heaven now. He pulled me to my feet and wiped the tears from my eyes. "I'm so… so sorry, Bella. This is all my fault." I could see the turmoil in face as he spoke. "How is this your fault? I came here on my own." I roared to him a little harsher then I intended.
"No matter what I do I can't keep you safe. When I'm here your in danger and when I leave your in danger. I can't win. All I want is what is best for you and I can't seem to find that. I shouldn't have been so selfish when we meet. I should of stayed away from you instead of pulling you into this world." he said and his face was torn between angry and misery.
"You are my world Edward. If it wasn't for you I would have been dead that day the truck almost crushed me. I love you and there is no world, no life for me without you!" I said
He gazed at me for a moment before he spoke. " You are my world to, Bella. I just want what's best for you and that is a normal human life."
"Don't tell me what's best for me. I know what makes me happy and that's you. Since you left I haven't been living just…dealing. I don't know why we are arguing. I'm going to wake you soon and I don't want to waste my last few minutes with you like this." I told him.
He looked at me with confusions and before he had a chance to speak Alice and Jasper came walking through to forests edge. Shortly followed by Esme, Carlisle, Emmett and Rosalie. Edward stood up and placed me on my feet, keeping one hand around my waist.
Alice ran over and wrapped her arms around me in a big hug. "I'm so glad to see you are ok!" her voice still sounded like an angels.
"Where's Laurent?" Emmett asked.
"Your not going to believe this! The Quileute werewolf's came shortly after me and they took care of him. See the smoke off to the east there?". He answered.
Carlisle spoke with the most confused expression displayed upon his face." The werewolf's are back? I thought they were gone long ago?. I can't believe it!. They didn't try to break the treaty, did they?". confused expression he displayed on his face.
"No, they were concerned with what I was doing here, but I told them I wasn't here to harm her and that they didn't want to break the treaty. I told them I didn't care they crossed the treaty line. The leader Sam had to order the other one to relax more then once. I think his name was Jacob, he wasn't happy to see me here." He couldn't finish explaining because I gasped in shock. I tried to speak, but everything around me started to spin and that's the last I remember.
