I pulled softly on the cold door handle and jumped out of the ridiculously slow truck; I really need a new car. I threw my bag onto my back and ran my hand threw my knotty hair, trying to untangle it. I'd had the best hunting weekend with Edward but I have to admit, it felt good knowing I would finally see my dad again after being away for what felt like so long. I ran to the door before I even knew what I was doing and then frantically searched for anyone who might have seen me move 10 metres in 0.5 seconds. Thankfully there was no one remotely close and so I steadied myself, training my mind back into 'human' mode. Then resting my hand on the old handle, I took a deep breath and stepped into the house.
Something was wrong. Everything was wrong. I wasn't even fully inside the house before I smelt the foreign stench. Running (at human speed), I searched the house.
"Charlie? Charlie!"
I checked each room as I rummaged in my bag for my phone. Someone had been here. The Volturi had been here and wherever they'd gone, Charlie was with them. God Charlie is with them. This is bad. Very bad.
"Get in the car Bella" Edwards voice murmured into my hair, his arm around my waist. He kissed me softly on my neck as he slowly turned me towards the door, guiding me.
"How did you -?"
"Alice", his voice sliding through me like silk.
Of course, Alice. It had been a while since Alice's vision for the future had come in useful, 3 years in fact. Time didn't really pass when you stay the same age. Panic started to rise in my throat and I searched Edwards eyes for information. However, all I got in return was a stony look. I felt his arms catch me as my legs slipped from under me and I buried my face in his chest.
I understand that this chapter is rather short but take it more of a preview of what's to come. Good feedback will lead to longer chapters and will also encourage me to update regularly! This is my first fanfic and I hope you enjoy, Jessyreads x
