Time Flies
I stared into the side mirror of the Volvo and frowned. My eyes were almost burgundy. Edward and I couldn't wait any longer. Edward took an exit towards a small, lifeless looking city. The only sounds were the purr of his Volvo and the squealing of tires as we sped through countless streets. We finally skidded to a stop as trees appeared in front of us, daring us to go on forward and hunt. Quickly, both of us got out of the car and our eyes met. Mountain Lions were here. I steadily walked over to Edward and touched his shoulder. He knew our plan. I started into the forest, silent and ready to kill.
This was one of those times where I
regretted becoming a vampire, which was not often. I couldn't believe
what I was being told. I wished it wasn't true. I wished everything
was the same as it had been for the past 5 years. But it wasn't.
Edward had anger in his voice now. Deep and unforgiving anger. I
hoped Alice wouldn't be too upset with him. It wasn't her fault. She
had only saw what was going to happen. I would have told Edward to
just stop and let it go, but it seemed he would never do that. After
Alice had pictured Reneesme in a dark room, crying, she could only be
curious and ask us what we did. I was positive of one thing. We
shouldn't have escaped from the Volturi this time.
I thought back
to earlier tonight, with guilt in my throat. I remembered the pain
Edward had when I wasn't able to protect him from Jane. I pictured
Edward lying on the floor, pain in his eyes. I felt as though I were
there again. I didn't want to think about it, so I decided to try and
devise a plan to get us out of this mess. "Edward, do you think we
will get there in time?" I asked after Edward hung up on Alice,
frustrated and almost ready to hunt again. "I think we might." he
responded coldly. I then held onto his shoulder and let him explore
my mind for the second time tonight. "Do you think it might work?".
I almost sounded scared this time. "Yes, Bella, it will work, but
we have to do this fast.". And with that, Edward stepped on the
pedal hard. We were heading back to La Push.
