Bella's POV

"Shit its cold out tonight"

God damn car just had to break down on me, now it's in the shop and I get stuck walking home from work.

I was so tired and really wished I was home in my big warm bed.

I just moved to this small town called Wild Valley, right on the out skirts of Tennessee.

My name is Isabella Swan I haven't lived here long, going on a month now, I was lucky to have bumped into My boss Mike Newman when I first arrived.

Stopping to fill up on gas, he was just walking out of the store, when I was about to go in, he held the door open for me, I thanked him, paid for the gas and my cigarettes.

As I walked back to my car and filled her up.

Mikes car was on the other side of mine, he smiled and introduced himself to me, saying i must be new to town.

I nodded my head and introduced myself too him.

He told me about his bar/ grill then said I should stop by check it out, that if I was looking, he might have a job opening for me, I was happy as hell.

He so made my day that day, he also trained me as a Bartender, have to say I didn't know shit about bar tending but Mike is just a sweetheart all the way around, he showed me all the ropes and he is just as hansom to boot with those big blue eyes, bleach blond hair, and very nice body.

But of course he also belongs to a wonderful woman, named Jessica Standley he always talks about her being the love of his life.

Don't get me wrong i'm very happy h has a great women but I got to admit it makes me a little jealous, I've always wanted to find someone who would cherish me like Mike does Jessica.

sighing and in deep thought I almost missed Mike telling me he had to leave work early tonight do to a family emergency, he didn't get a chance to tell me what It was, just hope everything is ok.

I locked the place up before I left, normally I don't mind locking up for Mike but with out a car and having to walk home this late gave me the creeps, I stopped to light up a cigarette and took a deep drag to calm my nerves.

"Oh thank god!" two blocks left Just a little longer and I'll be home, my feet hurt like a son of a bitch from these damn heels.

Wait... I slowed down noticing something up a head in the road

"What the hell is that?" I couldn't really make it out yet

I kept walking slowly keeping my eye on the object 'oh my god That's a man laying in the middle of the road!' "shit!" I said out loud and looked around myself, of course no one else was out this late fuck me… well what did u expect Bella it's 2:00 in the morning for shit sake, most people are home in bed except crazy fucker's like this one.

'Hope he's not dead or a killer' I thought as I took another deep drag of my cig and walked over to the other side of the road.

"HEY SR YOU OKAY!" I yelled trying to get his attention but he did nothing, I looked around myself again feeling very very nervous now, I finished my cigarette and flicked it ...

I moved a little closer, my heart about to pounding out of my chest, not wanting to get too close and already feeling uneasy I yelled again "HEY. SR. I'M TALKING TO YOU… HELLO ARE YOU OK!" The guy moaned like he was in pain, I backed stepped some feeling like I should run and get the hell out of here, but I also felt I couldn't leave him here either.

Then he shot up off the ground and on to his feet so fast, it scared the shit out of me, making me jump back, my scream got caught in my throat and a cold chill rolled down my spine.

I didn't move, just stayed very still and kept my eyes on him as if my life depended on it, he was breathtakingly gorgeous, his skin lighly tan, sexy hair you just wanted to run your fingers through it looked like a copper color, I couldn't tell the color of his eyes but he was just so nice to look at.

Then he spoke, his voice deep,velvety smooth and rough all rolled into one "what is a beautiful women like you doing out this late, don't you know it's dangerous"

I raised my eyebrow at him and crossed my arms over my chest, my courage coming back to me, I was the daughter of a cop after all.

"I was on my way home from work if u must know… now are you going to be so kind as to see me make it there safely or are you the one planning on hurting me?" I said biting on my bottom lip

He chuckled and walked closer to me, he got so close I could smell his sweet breath on my face and his musky sent folded around me, making my mind foggy, he brushed my long dark brown hair out of my face letting his warm hand graze my cheek as he did so.

I gasped at the tingling feeling his touch left my eyes never left his beautiful green ones, they almost looked as if they were glowing, they were so bright I loved his eyes "what's your name love?"He asked softly

I bit my lip again 'oh god he is too damn fine for his own good' I blushed a little at my thoughts "you first" I challenged

He chuckled "the name is Edward Collin my lady and you are?"

I couldn't help but smile, looking up at him just took my breath away "Bella"

"Lovely name and what might your last name be" he winked at me

"Mr. Collin if you don't mind as to answer my first question, then I might tell you my last name" he leaned in closer to me all up in my personal space and whispered in my ear..

"it would be an honor to walk u home Bella and u are very safe with me" he held his elbow out for me to put my arm through, I don't know why but i felt like i could trust him and I don't really trust no one so i just went with it "why thank you kind Sr" I said.

As we walked I told him my last name even though I have never seen this man before tonight, I feel so close to him and comfortable which i haven't felt that way since, 'no Bella, no sad thought just injoy this' i thought to myself, he looked down at me "Bella Swan huh has a nice ring to it"

I rolled my eyes at him and asked him why was he laying in the road anyways, he just said spur of the moment thing had nothing better to do.

I felt there was more to that but I just let it go for now, he asked me how long I lived here? I told him not long just moved here, he nodded, then he asked how I liked it here so far, we just talked about little things and before I knew it I was home, it made me a little said that are walk ended so soon.

He walked me up to the front door, I looked up at him and smiled

"would you like to come in for some coffee? we didn't get a chance to talk about you" he seemed as if he was in deep thought "Edward I won't Bite" he looked at me and I stuck my tongue at him, He shook his head laughing and said maybe some other time kissed my hand, then before he left he turned and told me to be careful, I told him I would be sure to do that, he waved bye then walked down the street.

I waited till I couldn't see him anymore then walked inside and locked everything up nice and tight I can't relax unless I know every thing is secure and safe, my Dad always told my better safe then sorry and when both my parents passed away I took what he said to heart, I miss them so much it was part of the reason I moved here, the other part was because my ex boyfriend turned in to a real asshole so I have a real hard time trusting people, but with Edward I don't know what it is about him but he made me feel safe which is crazy, i don't no shit about him.

I shook my head, kicked off my shoes and went into the bedroom got my boxer shorts and baggy T-shirt, got into a hot shower then walked into my kitchen, when I was all done, I made some hot tea, picked up an old book and stretched out on the sofa, unfolded the soft blanket my mom had made, wrapped myself in it and just relaxed it took no time for me to pass out.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

I shot up off the couch, looking around disoriented, stumbling back over the couch to turn on the lamp it didn't work fuck "okay try to calm down" I told myself, walked across the room and over to the wall to flipped on the light switch.

'Nothing, Dark… now I'm wide awake and freaking the fuck out what in the hell is going on?'

BANG! BANG!

I screamed and turned to where the sound was coming from, the kitchen windows blew open.

I rushed over closed both sides 'no fucking way I know I locked this window I checking to see if maybe the; no…. locks were fine

I could feel the little hairs on the back of my neck and arms going up, I could also feel eyes watching my every move something was in my house with me something was telling me to run NOW I turned to dart for my side door.

When I turned around something grabbed me, I screamed and started to kick and punch the damn thing but it just held me really tight. I couldn't move, helpless to defend myself hard to breath, it was fucking strong and it smelled really bad too, my body was shaking from fear, its eyes red as blood, razor-sharp teeth with saliva dripping from them I closed my eyes, waiting for it to attack me.

Someone banged on the front door and the thing hissed out, it shook me, I screamed out in pain as claws sunk deep into my shoulder, terror tore through me 'this creäture is going to kill me'.

I heard my front door burst open the monster roared at who ever it was then it was gone.

I dropped to the floor crying from the pain and fear, I had never been so scared before in my life, what the fuck was that thing it looked between man and monster no other way to explain it.

"Bella are you alright love!" I looked over next to me to see my hero "Ed ward!" I cried out feeling like I couldn't breathe, my body hurt from how tight that thing was squeezing and shaking me, my shoulder felt like it was on fire.

Edward picked me up off the floor gently, carried me over to the sofa and he sat down with me on his lap, curling my body into his, then rocked me slowly, whispering in my ear, that I was safe now, that he wouldn't let it hurt me again, I just held on to him for dear life trying to get my breathing under control as he brushed his fingers through my hair, it took a little while but I started relaxing, all most melting into him, my breathing was calmer now too.

I was feeling safe and secure in his arms, I pulled back a little to look at this god of a man and noticed I soaked his shirt with my tear.

"um Edward I think I ruined your shirt" he wiped away the remaining tears on my face and kissed my forehead.

"They are a dime a dozen Bella I have many shirts I'm just glad you're alright"

I nodded and started to cry again, he pulled me back to him and started to rock us "di… did you see it?" I asked my face buried into his shoulder and neck "yes I seen it" I look at him "do you know what it was?" he nodded "Bella let's talk about this tomorrow you been through enough for tonight.

I looked around my living room, then back to Edward "does that mean your going to stay with me for tonight?"I asked

he looked deep into my eyes "yes until you can find a friend or family member to stay with you for a while" I bit my lip and nodded not telling him that I had no one else but my boss Mike, yes he is a friend but I wasn't going to ask him.

I didn't notice Edward watching me "Bella are you okay?" I nodded

"you're a bad liar Bella" I smiled my dad use to say the same thing "come on tell me what is on your mind"

"Um I don't have anyone to stay with me or to go to like that" I sighed it was silent between us for a minute or two

"okay then I am just going to have to keep a close eye on you then huh" he smiled I shook my head no too fast, winced and hissed in pain

Edward turned me around so my back was to him, he slowly lifted up the back of my shirt, his intake of breath was enough to let me know my shoulder looked horrible "well how does it look?"

"Bella do you think you can trust me, I have to fix's this wound fast but I need to know if you can trust me enough to do it" I nodded and told him yes I'll trust him, hell he did run off the thing that hurt me right I thought to myself "Bella I'm going to need you to stay as still as you can okay" I nodded my head again

he sat up, I felt his shirt brush against my bare back, he took his one hand and flipped my hair over my other shoulder making my heart beat pick up, then when his breath blew over my hot skin I gasped as his tongue trailed softly over my wound, I moaned out at the tingling feeling his cool saliva left, stopping the burning, pricing, pain, he paused for a second then did it again I tried to stop the moan before it came out again but if felt so good I couldn't help, Edward chuckled at me, I know my face was so red "hey you said I couldn't move not make noises" he didn't say anything just slowly licked my wound again and again then he sat back and pulled my shirt back down.

I turned around to look at him "your wounds are better now"

he looked away from me so I got up and walked a crossed the room to my mirror hanging on the wall, moved my shirt out-of-the-way to look at my shoulder and gasped out loud it was gone completely.

when I walked back over to Edward I had so many question to ask but the look on his face stopped me, he didn't move or look up from his hands, so I leaned in moved his hands out of my way and crawled back on to his lap, he still didn't move so I just rested my head on his shoulder and told him Thank you for everything.

The last thing I remembered before sleep took over was him wrapping his arms around me and kissed the top of my head.

okay this is my first chapter hope everyone likes it I will be working on the second chapter soon.
