Edward's POV
We were in the meadow, the suns rays was pouring down upon us . I looked up at my beautiful Bella, the sun illuminated her long wavy black hair, she looked like an angel. Thirst burned in my throat. I restrained myself.
Even though I had fed this morning the craving for her blood wasunbearable. I dug my long fingers into the hard earth below me. I sat very still willing the ache away, not that it would do much good.
"Edward?" Bella was looking at me her big chocolate brown eyes were filled with curiosity, which surprised me I sure that she could see the look on my face and recognize it as utter hunger, I was sure that she would scream and run, instead she only clung harder to me. I pulled back to look at her. She stared at me with those eyes, I almost growled and cried in frustration.
Bella's POV
Edward's eyes were jet black with hunger, the darkest I'd ever seen thembefore. I gasped, but that only made his eyes turn even deeper. I leaped off his lap quickly.- not afraid- I didn't want to cause him this kind of pain.
"Sorry Edward" I said quietly. He shook his head slowly as if trying todispel the dark thoughts that lurked in the shadows in his mind. His beautiful eyes were closed, a look of pure agony was etched upon his face.
"Edward?"
His eyes slowly opened to reveal that a lighter shade of night. "I'm fine now really, I think it best if we leave, love" He slowly stood up as if not to frighten me. He held out his hand and helped me to my feet.
Edward's POV
I needed to get the hell out of here before I killed her or worse made her one of us.
I scooped her up in my arms and took off. Running faster than I had in fifty years. She looked up at me with a puzzled expression. Guilt rattled my whole being. I couldn't hurt her no matter, how difficult this was for me.
I quickly set her down on her doorstep and fled. Before I turned I glanced at her face and saw a look of pain and confusion on her face. The look in her eyes would haunt me for the centuries to come.
"Edward" she called behind me in the distance. If I had a heart it would have shattered into tiny pieces.
I was at the house in thirty seconds flat.
"Edward, what happened, what's wrong" I could hear Alice behind me. She took one look at my eyes and my expression and sighed.
"Honesty, just change her" Alice said a bored and exasperated expression on her face. Her eyes suddenly sparked with interest and she flew out of the room. I could hear Jasper laughing in the background.
I frowned deeply and went outside and started towards the woods. Time to hunt.
Bella's POV
I slowly turned and went inside. I wish he would just change me already, this was beginning to happen more and more frequently. I went into the kitchen and opened the fridge.
No food. I would have to go shopping. I grabbed my purse and searched for my weeks pay from the nature store. I sighed, I needed to stop at the bank first.
The drive was slow, I was so used to Edward's 'careful' driving that anything less seemed like a slug.
Finally I reached the bank. There was a long line. I almost groaned. Today was going to be a eternity without Edward.
Suddenly the doors burst open and hooded figures rushed in. Hooded figures with guns.
"This hold up, everybody get against the wall" a deep voice bellowed. I shrunk along the wall with the others.
For the first time today I felt fear. The nearest robber grabbed me by my arm and pulled me from the rest. He twisted my hands behind my back. I gasped in pain. He put the gun to my stomach. I tried to twist away from him but he only snarled and held me tighter. Dread gripped me, I was frozen.
"Hand over the money, or I'll put a round in her belly" The man pointed to the workers.
They faltered.
I heard the clicks and then felt the mind blowing pain in my side. I coughed and gasped, blood and anguish surrounded me in my thoughts. Swaying, I screamed.
"Shut up bitch" the man holding me said gruffly. He fired another bullet into my stomach. Whimpering, I held my tongue for fear of another bullet.
He moved the gun to my heart. "Now or the whore dies" another said pointing with his own gun to the cashier.
Tears streamed down my face, I coughed. Blood was seeping into the cheap blue carpet. The pain was like fire, worse than when James had bit me, sending his venom into my veins.
The money was handed over to the armed men. I looked up and realized everyone was staring at me in utter horror. Apparently I looked as bad as my own personal torment suggested.
I was choking on my own blood. My stomach tightened. I focused on breathing, slow and easy, but all I could see was Edward's beautiful face over and over in my head.
"Kill em', Lou" one of the masked figures said in a low voice.
For an entire agony filled second the whole entire building was silent, then all hell erupted at those three words.
Screams and cries filled the air gliding silkily around me. Bullets flew. I tried to get up but the pain weighed upon me making it impossible. I was going to die I knew it. Even Edward couldn't help me now.
