I thought of this story while listening to the song Savior by Rise Against, and I wanted to turn it into one with Bella and Edward, so here it is. (Savior lyrics at bottem of page)

Summary

I met him on the road between Seattle and Forks after my truck broke down in 1993. I have never seen him since… but his face is always on my mind, even though it's been 16 years, so I continue my search for him, my Savior. I fear that I may need to be his…

1993:

Great middle of the night, my loveable ancient artifact of a truck just died and I am somewhere between Seattle and the small town I call home Forks, with no signal. Perfect. If it wasn't for the fact that the dance had been taking place tonight I would never have been going to Seattle in the first place. But us uncoordinated people are not compatible to attend dances.

So now I have to walk down the middle of the road. I can't even make it a couple of meters before the ground collide with my face, as if to prove my point of how uncoordinated I am. I didn't hurry to get up off the soggy ground, knowing too well I would slip if I tried any fast movements, but in the time it did take for me to get up, a silver car flew past me before scratching to a halt. Giving myself a once over to look for anything I may have damaged the driver had gotten out and was now less the 5 meters from me, before he stopped. Black eyes stared at me with anger and something that made me want to take a step back, but I stood me ground. Nostrils flaring and a tightly clenched jaw, gave him the look of being in pain. A bronze mess of thick hair, made his deathly pale skin seem even more corpse like and his black shirt didn't help.

"Um tha-" in an instant he was neck to me and I felt his mouth at my neck biting down, making me give a small sigh.

Everything was dulling, some far off part of my mind told me I was dying and should be fighting to get away, but I was just to sleepy to care and shushed it away. Suddenly I felt my body on fire, while I was falling to the soggy ground, again.

Trying to open my burning eyes was hell but after a couple of attempts I managed. No truck, no silver car and no bronze haired guy. Ah the fire is Hell! Why can't I just die! Surly it doesn't take this long for someone to burn to death. I have felt this burning for what seems like hours.

Moans and screams sometimes escaped from me, but no one was around to here me scream. At some stage before morning I decided to pull myself into the forest, from some gut feeling that I managed to get through the pain. I knew somehow that if someone found me like this, then the consequences would not be good.

Not knowing how long I was in agony but sometime when the canopy above me turned back to black, the burning started to retreat from my fingers and toes, and slowly worked its way back towards my chest. But during this time my heart kept on speeding up until finally it was pounding furiously as all the heat suddenly appeared in my heart. No longer able to keep to the small sound I had been trying to make my mouth betrayed me and let out my screams of agony until I stopped.

Review please people!

It kills me not to know this but I've all but just forgotten
What the colour of her eyes were and her scars or how she got them
As the telling signs of age rain down a single tear is dropping
Through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten
There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place
And there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds
But seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you
Like walls that we just can't break through until we disappear

So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
Because I don't know
That's when she said I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save
That's when I told her I love you girl
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have

But the day pressed on like crushing weights
For no man does it ever wait
Like memories of dying days
That deafen us like hurricanes
Bathed in flames we held the brand
Uncurled the fingers in your hand
Pressed into the flesh like sand
Now do you understand?

So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
Because I don't know
That's when she said I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save
That's when I told her I love you girl
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have

1000 miles away
There's nothing left to say
But so much left that I don't know
We never had a choice
This world is too much noise
It takes me under
It takes me under once again
I don't hate you
I don't hate you

So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
Because I don't know
That's when she said I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save
That's when I told her I love you girl
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have

I don't hate you
I don't hate you, no

Tell me what you think even though it's just starting, so please Review!
