A/N: I apologize for taking so darn long! I took a break from everything for a while so I could just sit back and relax. Hopefully you all haven't been threatning me in your heads for not updating because you all have been busy relaxing too!!
Enjoy.... :)
Run, Edward run!
I screamed in the back of my head, pushing my legs even harder.
I have to save Bella. I have to. This is the one thing I will be able to do right, without Charlie taking over at last minute.
She sacrificed her self to save me, even after everything I've done.
Somehow, she could see past the part of me that so desperately wanted her dead. I don't get why, but if she dies now... I... I just have to save her life!
No buts, ifs, or maybes. She is going to live, and that's final. Nothing else to it.
This is the one time I can prove myself to everyone, I'm not screwing it up because of Charlie.
After I find Ren and get the message through to him, I will take myself out of this world.
Once I know she has survived, I will exile myself into a most treacherous place. Somewhere will I will forever be lost, a fading memory in the back of everyones minds.
If Charlie does comeback, I will be in the middle of nowhere. Far, far away from those I love and have hurt.
I'd rather my family's last memory of me being the one where I attacked them all to escape my imprisonment. I don't want them to care for me or to pity me at all.
They need to still hate me, even when I completely rid myself of this world.
I sighed deeply to myself, thinking of the person I've hurt the most.
Alice.
Sure, I've hurt Bella more physically...
... But I've hurt Alice the most emotionally.
All she tried to do was to help me... I tossed her around like a rag doll.
... She constantly stayed by my side, watching over me.
Somehow, she knew I had a split personality... she knew all along.
That's why she was always so concerned when I got angry.
I always shrug her off... some brother I turned out to be.
I was completely wrapped up in my regretful and sorrowful thoughts, that I forgot how fast I was going.
I suddenly collided into something hard and solid.
I flung back on impact and landed in a heap on the ground.
I muttered something unintelligent and slowly plucked myself off the ground.
"You!" Someone strangely familiar spat. I looked up and met Ren.
Well, how convenient.
"Wait!" I said, holding both my hands up like a robber would if he'd just been caught.
"Give me one good reason I shouldn't rip off your head. Right. Now. You have until the count of... three. One... Two... Thr-"
I cut him off and in one minute, I rushed everything out at once.
"Ren!! You can kill me later! Right now you need to help me save the one we both love and care for. Even though she's yours now, I still care about her! I know we got off on the wrong foot, but that wasn't entirely me that you met. You see, A long time ago, before Alyssa was a vampire, She was my fiance...
I was a vampire and she was human. It was just like how Bella and I are... were. Except, Alyssa's dad was very abusive and drunk all the time. He always beat her mother, and her two sisters. When her two sisters moved out and her mom conceived another little girl, Alyssa vowed to protect her new little sister and her mother.
She did, of course, and took triple the beatings. Her mother tried to stop it, but the father was stronger. Her mom could do nothing because the father was the one who was bringing in all the money.
I eventually found out and was filled with such blind rage that I attacked and killed her father...
She was furious. No, beyond furious. She kicked and thrashed at me, screaming that I ruined her family's life... She refused to have anything to do with me afterwards.
Her life went downhill shortly after. She became a suicidal, always cutting and drinking. Always sitting in the rain, wishing she could melt away. She almost committed suicide, stabbing herself in the stomach. She went for her heart but a vampire stopped her... John. He swept her away and transformed her...
She ran away with him, deciding not to tell me what she had become...
She left me thinking she was really dead. That drove me over the edge...
I developed a split personality. His name was Charlie. Whenever he took control of my body... I was basically asleep. I had no idea what he was doing until it was all too late.
I love and care for Bella. Charlie wants her to burn in pieces because of what she's done to me. Charlie did this to her and I need you to FIX WHAT HE DID!!!! SAVE HER!!"
My speech was only a minute long, I rushed through it and Ren managed to catch it all.
"She never did anything to YOU! Why would... why the fuck would Charlie think that?!" He said, understanding filling his blue eyes.
"Because," I sighed. I figured out Charlie's motives not too long ago. "He is actually mad at Alyssa. It's what she did to him. Bella and I had a very similar love story to Alyssa and I. When Bella left me, and Charlie took control... He was filled with such blind rage that he mistook Bella for Alyssa. I couldn't get through to him who Bella actually was..."
"Charlie... is you! He is part of you... most of you. I still hate you and want you dead. Just because im allying up with you now, doesn't mean I won't try to kill your useless and sick life when this is over. You will rid yourself from this world when this is over, or I swear to fucking anything that I. Will. Murder. YOU." His words were cold and hatefull.
I just smirked and said, "As you wish."
He raised one eyebrow before turning and running back to the house.
"Stay." He commanded.
I sighed, wishing he wouldn't treat me like some stray dog. But as long as he was helping me to save Bella, I didn't care what he did. Even if he started cracking his fabulous whip against my back. Haha.
I hope Bella is holding herself together.
Bella
I'm strong... yeah.
Stronger than this!
Haha. That moronic fool!
I sat up easily, pulling out the dagger.
Truth be told, I didn't lose nearly as much as was all over this ground.
It was mostly fake blood that I brought with me. If it was fake, it would have no scent.
All I did was conjure up a simple solution that looked like blood, Hell, I did a better job than those cheesy vampire movies!
After the solution was made, I slit my wrist and stirred in my blood... creating a whole lot of fake Bella-scented blood.
I brushed up on my acting skills a bit, and prepared to... not fight, but... act!
I put the solution in a big, freezer size zip-lock baggie. It as big so it could move around easily.
I taped it to my skin, underneath Ren's baggie batman shirt. Thank full it was baggie.
All I had to do was when he stabbed me, I had to make sure that the blood was in the right spot so he would pierce not only my skin, but the blood-filled bag.
I then screamed painfully for affect and pulled it out with another scream.
I had to let him "stab" me twice so he would be satisfied.
I figured out how to outsmart Charlie by figuring out him. Whenever he attacked me, he used rage. That's all. He didn't think through what should hurt me and what shouldn't. He was an act before think type of guy. Honestly, how do you figure that a newborn would die from two stabs in the stomach? Honestly.
I flipped up the shirt and peeled off the empty bag, throwing it on the ground.
Sure, the cuts hurt, but not too much.
God! I was so happy that I managed to outsmart Charlie that I leaned my head back and laughed.
I was soo happy.
But... Charlie will come back when Edward realizes what happens, won't he?
Edward left to get Ren, and I bet you anything he's gonna come back with Ren. Darn.
"Well, Bella, your fabulous acting isn't over yet!" I said to myself.
I stuffed the bag in my pants and returned to my position in the floor.
I was on my belly with my hand cradling it when Ren and Edward arrived.
My eyes were shut and I concentrated on the pain.
I heard Ren gasp and drop to his knees beside my head.
Time to break Edward's heart.
"Bella.. Bella!!!" Ren said, concern and urgency in his voice. "What did Charlie do?!"
I heard Edward picking up something next to me, the dagger.
"He stabbed her with this... Must've been a lot." Edward said.
Ren slowly turned me over on my back, and I clutched my stomach tighter.
"Bella!" He said, shaking me a little.
I peeled open my eyes slowly, fluttering them the way I always did when I was regaining consciousness.
"Oh God Bella! I'm so so so sorry!" Ren said. "I shouldn't have let you run off like that when Edward was on the loose."
"...S' Kay." I said, slurring "It's Okay."
I looked up at Edward and gasped in panic.
"What, what's wrong!!" Ren said.
I shakily covered my eyes with my arm and screamed, very loudly.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck! What's happening!!!" Ren screamed, panic seaping in his voice.
I panted hard.
"Charlie!" I screamed.
"Wha? No, no Bella! Charlie's gone! It's me, Edward!!"
"NO, no, no!!! It's... Charlie!!!... He's gonna... Kill us!!! GET AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!!" I screamed, panic evident in my voice.
"Edward." Ren said coolly. "It's time for you to leave. Though she rid Charlie for you, all she thinks of you when she sees your face is Charlie. YOU stabbed her. She truly is afraid of you now. Go now. Exile yourself or I will do it myself..."
Ren's voice was calm, yet very hateful sounding.
I could only imagine the look on Edward's face.
I'm sorry.
My screaming purposefully grew fainter and fainter until I "passed back out"
I heard footsteps swiftly leaving us and I knew it was Edward.
After five minutes had past of Ren cradling me, I peaked open one of my eyes and whispered, "Is he gone?"
"Yes, Bella, yes." Ren said.
"Good!" I said excitedly and climbed out of Ren's arms.
I stood up and stretched.
"What. The. Fuck." Ren said, slowly getting up.
"I'm sorry you were pulled into all of this, but as it turns out... I'm a pretty good actress. It managed to save Edward, and my life."
Ren rubbed his eyes and then trailed his fingers through his black hair.
I snickered and grabbed his hand, pulling him back to the house at a human-pace.
He followed reluctantly as I launched into what exactly just happened.
As I was explaining, Ren's smile grew and grew.
When I finished, his whole face was lit up.
He stopped walking and so did I.
"What?" I asked.
He just looked at me smiling in disbelief.
"You?" He started, "You did all of that? On your own?"
"What, just because I'm only a week old I have to be dumb?" I said, countering his question with another.
He smiled and said, "I love you."
The way he said it, it was such in a revere tone that I knew he meant it all the way.
"I love you too." I said before wrapping him in another blessed kiss.
I was so wrapped up in our kiss, I didn't even notice someone was watching us.
That is, until they cleared their throat.
I shot open my eyes, and pulled apart form Ren.
I twirled around, crouching down low towards the intruder-
-"Oh. My. God." I said.
"Hehe. Hey!" Said the all too familiar intruder.
Review!!!!!! :)
