Chapter 2- Road Trip
Bella's POV
"You look tired. Why don't I drive?" Claudio offered.
"I'm not going to sleep."
"What are you a vampire or something?" I flinched. Vampire.
"No."
"Are you okay?" he touched my arm. I immediately shied away.
"Fine."
"Do you believe in vampires?"
Get him out Bella, Edward's voice rang in my head.
"Why do you ask?"
"Do you know Edw-" I flinched again. He smiled.
"Who?"
"Can you pull over? I'm feeling a tad… woozy."
"Umm… sure." Get him out Bella.
As soon as I pulled over he bit me.
The last thing I remember before fainting was golden, beautiful eyes.
Claudio POV
Ah, Edward's girl, hu? I laughed. What fun this will be, torturing him like he did my sister.
"Beautiful Bella. You'll have fun in Vegas." I smiled and started driving.
Edward's POV
"We're here Edward. Do you like it?" I turned to Esme then turned back.
"Sure.
"Edward…"
"Yes?"
"You have something…" She touched the corner of my right eye.
"It's fine Esme. Let's just get inside." I slammed the door and grabbed some bags.
"Edward, Bella-"
"I don't want to hear it."
"Edward you have something-"
"Esme told me."
"What does B.S. stand for?"
"I don't know." But I can guess.
Bella's POV
"Where am I?" I clutched my throat. It burned.
"Hello Bella. I'm glad you're awake."
"Where am I?"
"You, my dear, are going to help me."
"With what?"
"Your ex."
"How do- do you have a drink or something?"
"I thought you might need something." He handed me a cup filled with a red liquid.
"What is this?" I asked after taking a sip.
"Animal blood."
"Ho-how do you know…"
"Edward? He broke my half sister's heart. He didn't pay attention to her and when she expressed… her interests he declined her. He declined my sister."
"Tanya?"
"Ah, a quick learner, I see."
"Why…"
"Why do I think you'll help me? because if you don't I'll kill you."
"What if I say that doesn't bother me?"
"I will kill everyone you love, including-" I tore his head off before he could say anything more.
"Sorry, but I can't take that chance." I dissembled him and burned him.
I looked around his apartment. Tiny, tinier than my room at home.
Tears somehow streaked my face.
"I can't stay here," I wiped my tears away and grabbed my keys from under the small mirror.
"What the hell?" I looked in the mirror again. The initials E.C. were at the corner of my crimson eye- right.
I closed my eyes and looked away- tears welling in my eyes again.
I ran to my truck and slammed the door- too fast for anyone to see.
I fumbled with the key then drove to the woods. I slammed the door and ran into the woods, draining two small deer.
I walked slowly back to the truck, wondering where I'd go.
"Aunt Jenny's house," I murmured.
Let me elaborate- my Aunt Jenny is rich and has a large house just out of Las Vegas. She died last year and left the house to me- telling anyone she was going to die a while after I went to college. I never had the heart to sell it.
"216 Ruben Drive." Dad made me memorize it.
