Continued from New Moon, right after Edward leaves Bella.
"Goodbye, Bella," he said in the same quiet, peaceful voice.
"Wait!" I choked out the word, reaching for him, willing my deadened legs to
carry me forward.
I thought he was reaching for me, too. But his cold hands locked around my
wrists and pinned them to my sides. He leaned down, and pressed his lips very
lightly to my forehead for the briefest instant. My eyes closed.
"Take care of yourself," he breathed, cool against my skin.
There was a light, unnatural breeze. My eyes flashed open. The leaves on a small
vine maple shuddered with the gentle wind of his passage.
He was gone. (New Moon, Chapter 3, Page 69)
Chapter 1
Bella's POV
I stumbled along for awhile, trying hopelessly to follow him. Finally, being too exhausted to carry on, I collapsed on the moss coated ground.
"Bellaa" my head jolted upwards when I heard a voice hiss through the trees. I couldn't quite make out where the voice came from, and where I have heard it before. Glancing at the thick forest, I saw the shadow of a female figure, and my body stiffened. Victoria. I thought to myself. My eyes widened as she approached, a sly grin on her face. "Looks like Edwards not here today to protect you, eh?" I continued to watch, "He's going to be mad" She looked thoughtful, "Really mad, when he finds out what happened" as her eyes traced back to me, and narrowed. In one swift motion, she leaned forward as I started to try to regain my balance, and her razor sharp teeth sunk into my arm. I tried to shake her off, but she gripped onto me, letting the venom sink into my veins.
My arm started to burn, like it did last time when James bit my hand, I screamed, trying to get rid of the pain that started to spread, as my vision started to darken, leaving me with no sight. I continued to scream, and Victoria let go of my arms, chuckling as she watched me suffer. I felt like I was thrown into flames, but not allowed to die just yet, the pain continued, and the flames grew hotter.
A few hours later, after my throat was sore after all that screaming, the burning started to die down. I opened my eyes, which I didn't notice were closed, and noticed Victoria wasn't there. I mumbled angrily to myself, as I looked down at the arm where she bit me. A dark crescent shaped scar showed on my now pale white skin. It was almost identical to the one that marked me when James bit my hand. Holding on to a low lying branch, I stabilized myself, and got up to my feet. I knew what I was now, but I didn't know where I should go. Where I could go.
Biting my lip, that I noticed now was stone hard, I wondered aloud,
"Edward…where are you?"
