Hey guys , this is just going to be a short chapter but this is going to set up the base of this story. I'm just going to say now that this is not going to be happy story, at all. This story is a twilight-ified version of the original I wrote so if there are any names that don't make sense in here it's because of my terrible editing ok? So on with the story! By the way this is all in Bella's POV.
Recap
Walking away to bathroom to get ready for bed Bella watched Edwards's retreating form, with shaky breaths she stood up and walked to the bedroom, falling straight to sleep. Tossing and turning as her nightmare began she already felt the tears in her eyes.
Laying down in bed she rolled over, opening here eyes. Blinking to get here eyes use to the darkness, she stretched and groaned, sitting up she felt something soft and smooth slip off her shoulders. Reaching for the unknown she was met with the doona on her bed. She through the covers off and gasped as she saw that here pyjama top and bottom were torn to shreds. Swinging her legs off the bed and onto the ground, Bella that it was all sticky and squishy like someone has spilt juice or cordial on the carpet. With a sense of dread she picked her midnight blue summer brunch coat off of the bed post and walked out into the hallway, when all of a sudden her feet gave out from under her and she landed flat on her back.
Sitting up and slowly crawling to the end of the hallway near their spare bedroom, Bella reached up and flicked on the lights wondering exactly what was on her carpet that could have made her slip so badly, she knew as soon as her eyes became focused once more, because there on the floor leading from her bedroom to the other end of the hall was a massive puddle of a thick red substance. With the queasy, dread ridden feeling settling in her stomach Bella heard the crash, and instantly she knew that when the sun rose her and Edward's lives would never be the same again. On her knees once again Bella was trying to control her breathing and also trying to stay silent as she crawled along the tiles to the edge of the wall and ever so slightly peeked out from behind it to come face to face with the most horrific scene she has ever seen.
Bella couldn't help the sharp gasp that escaped her and the scream that got caught in her throat. Before her eyes were Edward and three huge men beating him to a pulp. Suddenly with confidence Bella never knew she possessed, she stood up and walked straight out into the lounge and screamed at the top of her lungs as all of her confidence drained away as soon as she stopped. All of the men turned towards her, the three criminals turned to her and with a glance at each other they looked at her with evil glints in their eyes. The man holding Edward turned back to him and said "wow Eddie is that your little wifey? Gosh, she is pretty, I wonder if she knows about your little outside" he paused as her chose his next word carefully "activities?" he finished with. "Leave him alone! Leave Edward alone! He never did anything to hurt you! I don't care what he did, it surely doesn't deserve this! You heartless bastards!" screamed Bella to the intruders. One of the men, the leader it seemed, walked over to her and Bella's body went ridged. He walked behind he - and came so close she could feel his body heat on her back- while brushing her hair off of her shoulder; he placed an open mouth kiss on her shoulder.
Lifting his head he whispered "but he does, he does. He never told you how the accused person in his case was did he?" stepping back from her he walked back over to Aaron the man yelled "it was my wife! And if I can't have her then he can't have his!" and with that he around and punched Edward in the stomach and the face multiple times. Each punch earning a groan in pain from Edward and whimper from Bella, this fuelling the man's fury more. Then suddenly he stopped bashing Edward and laughs, the laugh wasn't a happy, carefree laugh, it was an evil, frightening deep rumble. Reaching into hid coat he......
Sorry its only a short chapter but this sets up the rest of the story. And as I've said before this story will NOT be a happy one by any means. And who loves strong, brave Bella? Well I do lol! Anyway please read and review!
