After new moon
I ran through the woods, hoping, with all my being that I would reach the La Push cliffs in time. This had been the one morning I had woken up late and it could end up costing me more than just time.
It could cost Bella's life.
She called me last night and told me she wanted to meet me at the cliffs, I'd stayed up half the night worrying why. Was she going to tell me she was going to have the monster change her into one of them? Or did she just want to go cliff diving? I came up with many different reasons why and they did nothing but keep me from sleeping.
After waking up late, Sam had come by to tell me that Victoria had been spotted close to Forks, one more thing to make Mondays the bane of my existence.
My lungs were burning from lack of air, my heart pumping too fast but this time it wasn't the werewolf metabolism, but the fear of what could be happening or going to happen to Bella.
Finally I saw the light that shone through the thinning trees at the edge of the forest. I shot out from under the trees and onto the road, thankful that now I would be able to run without tripping. Even my werewolf senses and grace couldn't keep me from tripping all of the time.
I could see the edge of the cliffs finally. My heart jumped when I saw Bella standing a ways back, to prevent her falling, watching the waves coming toward shore. I slowed my pace slightly, to a more natural-for-a-human run, my heart finally slowing back to normal.
When I was half way to her she turned to face me. She smiled and the sun seemed to come from her face instead of the sun. Her hair blew across her eyes and she shook her hair back behind her, the wind blowing it, her beauty yet again astounded me forcing my heart into a hyper speed. My feet slowed to a walk and I smiled back hoping my face didn't reflect my awe, I knew she didn't feel the same way.
A sudden smell, like that of a decaying animal, wafted to me. My head snapped around against my will. I was unable to stop myself from grimacing at the stench. It had to be him coming to make sure I didn't harm her, despite being more dangerous himself.
But it wasn't, it slowly dawned on me, his hair wasn't a bright, blinding red.
Victoria's was.
I raced toward Bella trying as hard as I could to at least intercept the vampire before she could rip my beautiful angel apart.
I couldn't believe how fast I was going, nearly as fast as the reeking ball of flame that was Victoria. We were less than two meters from Bella, now, though. The vampire launched at Bella's throat, letting loose a terrible snarl. Her jaws opened, ready for the death-bite.
I jumped too, slamming into Victoria's shoulder before she could get an inch closer to Bella's shocked face. It felt like slamming into a boulder but I hardly felt it concentrating on destroying this cockroach that should never have existed.
My claws ripped into her flesh, the only thing that could hurt a vampire other than another of their kind. Her fingernails latched onto my now furred, back. I howled my pain before biting into her neck, hard, she was dying I could feel it. Then, she slammed her fist into my head, ripping it off her throat and slamming me to the ground her light yet amazingly strong body pining me down. The shock morphing me back to human form.
"Now wolf-boy, you will be a freak. Hated by both species and accepted by neither. No one could love you after this. You will have no control and will be forced to live forever hated." Victoria hissed through damaged vocal chords before biting into my throat, sending a burning pain through me that I had only felt once before. When I became a werewolf. This time was worse though, I didn't have the voices of my pack around me.
The last thought I had before I blacked out was hoping, for once in my life that the bloodsucking Edward Cullen would be there to save Bella, and not just from Victoria.
