I don't own any of the characters
(Dang!)
(ok so Bella is walking around by herself looking for the bookstore when she meets the creepy guys who follow her when Edward shows up in his car which he's in because of the tinted windows and it's sunny, otherwise he'd be on foot by then. Well here's where I pick up, it's cloudy in this version)
I paused for only a second, but it felt like a very long time. I turned and then darted to the other side of the road. I had a sinking feeling that it was a wasted attempt. The footsteps were louder now.
"There you are!" shouted one of the men.
"Yeah" said another,
"We just took a little detour." They laughed collectively, forming a wide circle around me.
"HEY!" shouted a wonderful voice at the cross section of the street the men turned together. They laughed,
"Stay out of it twerp!" the biggest one yelled.
"Leave her alone, and no body gets hurt." Edward said loudly and harshly as he ran towards me. They laughed again.
"Go home!" they yelled turning back to me. Suddenly Edward was in front of me, right there; he was over there like two seconds ago!
"I said," Edward began through clenched teeth,
"Leave her alone."
"Oooo, tough guy" cried one of the men. "Let's teach him a lesson!" I was worried about him but no longer felt any fear for myself. Edward let out a loud and furious growl-it was the single most menacing thing I had ever heard- and dropped into a crouch like an animal. The men were shaken by his ferocity and turned to run off into the darkness. Edward stood up and turned to me once they had sprinted away.
"Bella, are you alright?" he asked in the gentlest of tones. I nodded weakly, before blacking out in a dead faint.
