A/N: Aloha^^ This is the prologue chapter of my first multi-chapter story.
The story was inspired by the song "Rolling in the Deep" by the fantastic Adele! If you don't know the song- go check it out! I guess I have to give a little warning, since there will be a lot of cursing, if you don't like f-bombs and whatnots, you may don't want to read this! ^^
Full summary:It sounds like some kind of fairy tale: girl meets boy and they fall deeply in love with each other. She comes from a hard working family, he was born with the silver spoon. She loved him unconditionally and he promised her the world. Together they make plans for their future, happily ever after included.
But what if the fairy tale turns bad? What if, instead of the evil step-mother our female protagonist has to face her prince's evil family? What if the prince was cursed and turned into someone else? What if said prince can´t keep his promise and instead of the world, he gives her pain and heartbreak? Will they still have their HEA?
Stephenie Meyer owns Twilight- I just like to play with her characters! Adele owns the song and lyrics to "Rolling in the Deep"! This storyline, however, is mine!
Special thanks go out to furius kitten and remylebeauishot from PTB for beta'ing this for me!
I hope you have fun reading this! You may not like all the characters, though...
ROLLING IN THE DEEP
There's a fire starting in my heart
reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
go ahead and sell me out
and I'll lay your sheet bare
See how I leave with every peace of you
don't underestimate the things that I will do
There's a fire starting in my heart
reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
The scars of your love remind me of us
they keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
and you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Baby I have no story to be told
but I've heard one of you
and I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
making a home down there
as mine sure won´t be shared
The scars of your love remind me of us
they keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
and you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Throw your soul through every open door
count your blessings to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
you pay me back in kind
and reap just what you sow
We could have had it all...
Adele- Rolling in the Deep
Prologue
Bella
As I stood there, in a far too small place for way too many people, people I hadn't had to see for so many years, I felt like I was going to explode any minute. My breathing was heavy, the adrenalin was pumping almost violently through my veins, and my heart beat way too fast. I could feel that I had started to sweat slightly from the exertion of holding myself back.
My hands were balled to fists; my teeth ground against each other almost painfully. With every second that passed, it got harder and harder to not lash out. Again.
I knew that "hate" was a strong word and I was not a person to use such a word lightly- without actually meaning it- but I could safely say that I hated every single person in that room; except maybe for the two people I just met and myself. I was disappointed with myself for being a naïve girl that once believed in fairy tales, but I did not hate myself.
They kept staring at me just like I kept staring at them.
Out of all the faces of the people that I despised and hated, one in particular stood out. I'd tried my best to avoid looking at him again, but my eyes seemed to have a mind of their own. I took another glance at the rather uncomfortable-appearing people present, but then my eyes settled on the one person that had almost destroyed me.
I should have known better.
My body´s inner riot increased tenfold, making the pain and anger practically unbearable. Tears were forming in my eyes, and I definitely hated myself for that, for showing weakness in front of the bloodhounds. But this time, unlike all the other times before when I cried from hurt, disappointment, betrayal or down right pain, this time I cried from fury.
Everything, even all the memories and emotions I managed to choke down earlier, were ripping through my body at once, causing me to almost cry out from the overwhelming pain. And he was the one to blame. All the pain caused by the others paled in contrast to the pain and heartbreak that he had brought upon me.
My body shook from my attempt to not lash out, or worse, to break down. But I knew it was only a matter of time. There's only so much a person could take, and right then, I was one wrong word, movement, or glance short away from seeing red.
The tension was palpable, and everybody seemed to feel it, too. Everybody but one.
"Bella..." he whispered softly and somewhat confused.
And that single word was enough for me to snap...
Soo, what do you think?
Thanks for reading!
