SEQUEL TO : BLOOD, PAIN & HEARTBREAK
Chapter 1
Black Keys
Have you ever been confined? To a place, just one place? I have, well, I am. In total solitaire. You would expect a vampire to live a glamorous life. A life of fun and excitement. Always having what you want and never really needing a thing. But it's not, at least not for me. Being held against your will by your use-to-be friends and your thoughts isn't very fun. I wish I had never chosen to live with Charlie, never chosen to leave my mother, if I hadn't, I wouldn't be here, in the dark basement of the Cullen mansion. Really, I am allowed to roam the house, do whatever I please, go outside as long as I'm with someone, but not allowed to go back to civilisation, see my friends, my family. They say it's because I'm a newborn, this is all new to me, and I should trust them. Yea well, they lost my trust. And they know they have lost my trust, I can see it in their eyes, especially Edwards. Rosalie is the only one who I can talk to. I mean, she still has that secretive look in her eye, but she's different from the rest, I don't know why. She acts real around me. I have asked there if there was anything they were hiding from me, and unlike everyone else, she answered, well, half answered. "All in good time Bella, all in good time. I know you don't like staying here, but everything will make sense soon. Although, you don't have to stay in the basement. You know that Esme has a nice room for you upstairs."
Why do I force myself to stay down in this dark, dusty basement, you may ask? I don't want to go up there. I walk into the room and everyone goes stiff, put on fake smiles and try light conversation with me, about the weather, and the latest celebrity gossip. They all talk differently too, knowing I can hear them, but I know when I'm down here and theirs three or four floors between us, they talk about me. When I do go upstairs, Edward just sits there and stares at me as if I'm the greatest thing he's ever seen. And trust me, I'm not flattered. Every time I see him, I just want to rip is head off, and he knows it.
They're keeping secrets from me, I can tell. I don't know about what, and frankly, I don't really care. I wish I could leave, I really could. I want to go back to Charlie, I want to see Jacob again. But I can't not anymore, and never again. He's gone. My family is gone, my friends...not like I wasn't losing them anyways. So again, I wish I could leave but I have nowhere to go anymore, I never did.
