Well, here's my second chapter. I can't figure out titles for the chapters!! It's really annoying. if you have any suggestions, put them in a review please!!
"Let's go" I said as soon as Alice was out of the room.
"What's the rush? I don't have to have you home by a certain time anymore." He pointed out, smirking.
"That is true but I still have to sleep at some point." I said, even though I knew that I wouldn't sleep at all that night, no matter how hard he would try to get me to. He nodded, then picked me up in his arms and ran out the door.
"Do you mind if we take the scenic rout?" He asked.
"You know that I don't mind." I said. We ran through the woods for about half an hour before we went to the meadow. He set me down a few feet from the edge of the meadow. It was beautiful even though I could hardly see it in the dark. There was a red harvest moon out that bathed the grass in a strange reddish light. the grass was moving in the light wind, the effect was otherworldly. I shivered from the sight.
"Are you cold?" Edward asked. I was but I didn't want him to know it so I shook my head.
We walked at human speed into the field and lay down in the center of it, side by side. "The stars are beautiful" I commented. I had only looked at them for a moment, now my eyes were glued to Edward.
"They always are but most people never see them." Edward said. "All the city lights block them out."
"Well than I'm glad we had the opportunity." I said. "and, around here you can't see them because the trees are in the way." I commented.he didn't answer, he just closed his eyes and sighed.
"Tired?" I asked sarcastically. He chuckled. We were silent for a long time after that, the red moon rose high in the air before Edward moved.
"Do you see that?" he asked, pointing at the moon
"How could I not?"
"It's a blood moon." he whispered "They only come around once every forty years. In ancient times it was considered extremely bad luck to go outside when was in the sky."
"Wow." I said, awed. "I guess that we're both cursed."
Just then, Edward tensed. he was no longer laying next to me, he was in his defensive position that I knew too well, facing the woods. A low, threatening growl ripped through the silence. I tried desperately to see this threat that was somewhere hiding in the woods. I wondered for a moment if it was Jacob, but Edward wouldn't look so worried if it was and he would have said something. We stayed there for a moment then, out of the darkness stepped...
Aro. he stepped out of the woods casually, as if he was meeting a friend. his long, dark hair was strangely still at his side in the light wind and his chalky skin was red in the light from the blood moon. Edward's growl got steadily louder as Aro walked closer.
"She's still human." he stated, as if he was commenting on the weather.
"The date has been set." Edward growled.
"Be that as it may, I was supposed to make sure that her heart was no longer beating... or stop it myself." Aro shrugged.
"You won't touch her." Edward threatened.
"You must really like her to be willing to fight me." Aro said, surprised.
"More than you will ever know." Edward muttered.
"I can't leave while her heart beats." Aro said, Edward growled.
"Then you're going to be waiting until August 12." Edward said firmly.
"You don't want me around here, I'm guessing that she has some humans that she cares about and while I'm here..." Aro trailed off, Edward growled louder. "Do you really think that growling is going to scare me?" Aro asked.
"Leave. Come back to check some time after August 12, if you want." Edward said
"oh, i can't do that, they'd call me a coward." Aro stated, as if it was obvious. all this time, I had been frozen with fear in that ridiculous half laying-half sitting position. I moved into a slightly more dignified kneel.
"Well, you will not touch Bella and evidentially you won't return to the rest of the Volturi I guess we're at a standstill." Edward stated.
"Unless you're stupid enough to try to fight me, I guess you're right." Aro said, sounding bored. Edward slipped out his phone and called Alice, or at least I guessed that's who he called, I couldn't hear anything that he said.
Then he turned to Aro, "Are you going to make me stand here until August 12?"
"I'm not making you do anything" Aro snapped.
"but I have to stand here unless I want you to go and slaughter everyone in town." he said. "Emmet is coming to get you and take you home." he told me.
"No! I won't go!" I shouted " I won't leave you. " I whispered.
"Yes you will." he said firmly, even though that he didn't want to be away from me any more than Y wanted to be away from him. I didn't respond, just grabbed his arm. I felt childish but I didn't care.
"Why do I have to go?" I asked, even though I knew what he would say.
"It's too dangerous." he said, I was right. I sighed and hugged him. he kissed my head and held me for a minute before he gently pulled me away and kissed me. After a minute, someone touched me lightly on the shoulder. I jumped a foot in the air and turned around. It was Emmet. Aro chuckled at my reaction.
"Alright, let's go." Emmett said. Then he looked at Aro. For one brief second I saw him as a dangerous monster instead of the funny, laughing person that I knew. It made forget my protests for a minute, but they came.
"No! I'm not going." he looked slightly amused at my ferocity.
"Come on." he said.
"NO!" i shouted. he sighed and picked me up like i weighed nothing. i struggled and protested but i knew that he was ten times as strong as me. When we got to the car i gave up fighting and settled for glaring at Emmett. He didn't notice.
Ok fine. I got a lot of complaints about leaving it at a cliffhanger so I told you what happened. I still need chapter titles!!! the next one will be a little while, i am having serious writer's block.
