A/N Hello everyone, sorry about the short first chapter I was just really excited to get this story going, I promise this chapter will be longer and is packed with a little more drama and reviews would be much appreciated I hope you will enjoy my story from start to finish.
Also just want to note that i don't own twilight, though whenever I am asleep Emmett is all mine!
~Bella's POV~
I flopped onto my bed after hauling all of the shopping bags I could manage up the stairs, the scary thing is, Alice was bringing the rest of them in through the window, I figured I probably had enough clothes now to keep a small department store in business for at least three months.
A tap at my window shook me out of my thoughts and I stumbled my way over to open it, I was suddenly on my backside with a mountain of shopping bags tumbling in on top of me.
"Bella, you have no idea how much fun I've had today, but you need to go to bed now because you have school in the morning and then your trip to Port-Angeles in the late afternoon so go shower and go to bed I will put all of these away for you!" I shook my head as I dug through the mountain of bags to find the one I was looking for, I pulled out a pair of black fleece pyjama bottoms and a purple tank top before heading into the bathroom scooping up my toiletry bag on the way.
After my shower I cuddled up under my comforter to the sounds of hangers sliding and drawers opening and closing and drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
After school the next day
After a very long and boring day Angela and I sprinted for my truck which for me was a daring feat, I only stumbled a couple of times, but Angela still beat me there and was doing her 'Queen of the world' dance and rubbing it in as we both giggled and tried to catch our breath.
I suddenly felt two icy cold arms wrap around my middle and I turned into the kiss that Edward had waiting for me. I had the feeling that he didn't want to let go so I put my palms flat on his chest and applied a slight pressure knowing I couldn't move him unless he wanted to be moved. He did step back just slightly but kept his arms around my torso.
"Be safe my Bella...'' I stretched up on my toes to give him another kiss and I leaned in to whisper in his ear. "I'll see you tonight Edward, I love you"
With a quick kiss on the forehead he turned and was striding back to his car, I climbed into the cab of my truck and was faced with Angela and a longing sigh escaping her lips.
"What you two have is so...magical, I only hope that I can find someone as sincere as Edward one day, you are so lucky Bella" She smiled and clipped the buckle of her seat belt closed and sat back for the short ride to my house.
My truck roared to life as usual just as I saw his silver Volvo slow down just slightly in front of me I wiggled my fingers in a goodbye wave and he sped off.
~Angela's POV~
I sat quietly at the kitchen table as I watched Bella and Charlie arguing about which vehicle we were going to take.
"Dad I am seriously not going to ride to Port-Angeles in the cruiser somebody is going to have to sit in the back! lets just take my truck pleeeeease I just filled it up yesterday it's good to go!"
Charlie huffed and crossed and un-crossed his arms for the fifth time...
"Alright Bells, if it means so much to you we will take your truck, you still sure you want me to drive it though?"
Bella nodded and handed over her keys, an hour and a half later we were pulling into a parking lot at the restaurant we would be eating at later near the movie theatre.
"Hey look Bells this place has the same name as you!" Charlie was pointing excitedly to the sign of the building in front of us. 'Bella Italia'
_
~Bella's POV~
I knew full well that this place had the same name as me, this was where Edward and I...well just me actually, ate together for the first time, after he rescued me from those horrible guys, I did my best to suppress the shiver that ran up my spine. Instead of saying any of this I pretended to look surprised and laughed.
"Wow it does! That's so cool! I can't wait to eat later!" With that we all hopped out of my truck and began walking east on First Street towards the Lincoln theatre.
I couldn't help but look over my shoulder, I felt like I was being watched, or followed and considering what happened here, it wasn't good to be feeling that way, Angela must have noticed my wandering gaze and bumped her hip into mine making me jump and almost trip myself. Laughing she helped me keep my balance.
"Are you okay Bella you keep looking back like someone is going to jump you!" She giggled but if only she knew just how close it had come to that when her and Jessica were trying on prom dresses.
I banished the thought from my head and put a smile on my face. "Nah just thought I saw someone I knew, don't think it's them though."
Angela accepted my answer and continued forward with Charlie and I toward the theatre.
"I always hate how long these lines seem to go on for!" Angela was attempting to mutter under her breath as she tapped her foot. Concession lines were never my favourite part of the movie experience either but we opted to do the movie first instead of eating so we were hungry.
"Girls why don't you go in and watch the previews, I'll wait in line and bring the snacks in with me."
Now I knew Charlie didn't absolutely want to watch the movie that Ang and I had chosen but he was being really great about the snacks too so I wasn't going to let him pay for them. I slipped a couple of twenties out of my wallet and handed them to him.
"Thanks Char- uh dad, we'll see you in there! Save you a good seat promise!" Before he could object to the money I gave him, Angela and I took off towards the auditorium that the movie was showing in.
~Unknown POV~
I watched as they entered the theatre, they were safe for now, I would come back shortly when it was less crowded so as not to be seen to... check up on the situation...
~Charlie's POV~
I hated stepping over people why did they have to choose right in the very middle? Seriously I had all of this stuff in my arms and now I need to climb into and over people's laps just to get to my seat. At that moment Bella looked up at me and I was looking at the warmest smile in the world, her chocolate brown eyes were simply dripping with happiness and I couldn't stay grumpy, I shuffled past the last few people and hunkered down into my seat as I passed out the snacks to the two girls on either side of me.
"Here ya go Bells, I hope there is enough butter on the popcorn for you Angela, here's your coke Ange-" "SSSSSSHHH" Somebody in the back of the theatre obviously likes the previews way too much.
"Hmph" Guess I was back to being grumpy. I felt a pat on my arm and looked over at Bella who had a warm smile on her lips and an amused twinkle in her eyes and I was back to being not grumpy again.
About and hour and fifteen minutes into the movie I was starting to get antsy I'd had to go to the bathroom when we were lined up for tickets but I'd waited so that the girls could get lined up for snacks. I leaned over and whispered in Bella's Ear.
"Just going to the bathroom Bells, I'll be right back" She smiled at me and nodded then patted my arm again, I gently patted the top of her hand and got up to shuffle the other way now.
"S'cuse me, pardon, sorry, watch your feet, pardon, sorry s'cuse m-" "SSSSHHHH" "Humph" I turned back to look at Bella, her and Angela were laughing together about something on the screen. Ahh to be a carefree teenager again. I walked up the ramp and out of the auditorium into the lobby to find a bathroom accidentally bumping into one of those Gothic looking kids on my way. "Sorry Kid"
Now where is that bathroom?
~Bella's POV~
Angela and I had tears in our eyes by the time the movie was over we were holding our sides because they hurt from laughing, it only took us a moment to realize that Charlie hadn't come back from going to the washroom, we figured he just hadn't liked the movie and would be waiting out in the lobby so we went out there and waited for it to clear.
"Oh my gosh Bella when that guy- and then he- hah aha it was hilarious!"Angela was going over her favourite scenes of the movie and I shared a few of my own but I was keeping an eye out for my dad, I tried dialling his cell phone number but after a few rings it went to voice mail.
"Ang, Charlie isn't answering his phone..." Angela put her hand on my shoulder and nodded.
"Maybe he's waiting for us outside the lobby is pretty crowded" She did have a point, we started making our way over to the door when my phone started buzzing in my hand, it was a text message from charlie.
'Had to run and get something, go to restaurant without me, meet you outside theatre later'
"Oh, Angela, Charlie just texted me he had to run and grab something, told us to go to dinner without him and he'd meet us back here" I shrugged as she gave me a confused look we were thinking the same thing 'what would he need to grab during the middle of a movie?' "Your guess is as good as mine Ang, Oh well lets go get food so that we don't keep him waiting too long if he gets back here before we finish" With that Angela and I linked arms and started walking west on First street to the restaurant.
"Hello welcome to Bella Italia, table for two?" The waitress was pretty and had one of those too friendly smiles that I just knew I was going to get tired of fast. "Yes Please, preferably a table by the window" The waitress nodded and brought us to our table. I didn't even open my menu I knew what I was going to get so it didn't seem necessary, but Angela had her nose buried in hers only to come up to say ooh or aah.
About ten minutes later our drinks arrived and our waitress apologized for the wait.
"So what are we having tonight ladies?" There's that smile, ignore it Bella.
"Yes I would like to have the Mushroom Ravioli please, Ang?" Angela smiled at he waitress while handing her, the menu.
"I will have the vegetarian lasagna please"
The waitress nodded as she gathered up my menu as well, crud, I should have handed it to her now I seem like a total jerk! I'll make sure to leave a really good tip!
"MMMM Bella you have to try this lasagna it is sooo good!" Angela pushed her plate towards me so I could spear a piece of her lasagna as I pushed my plate to her so she could get a taste of my ravioli.
We were busy mmm'ing when a group of guys walked by and wolf whistled at as, I was instantly on edge remembering that night.
"Are you almost done Ang? I don't want to keep Charlie waiting too long" My plate was empty as was Angela's but I didn't want to rush her if she wanted dessert.
She nodded her head and pushed her plate away. "I couldn't eat another bite even if I was forced to!" I laughed as I signalled for the waitress who brought over the bill $31.00 dollars wasn't too bad, I felt like Edward, putting a fifty in the folder and telling her to keep the change.
Angela and I left the restaurant and looked in the parking lot for my truck, it wasn't there so Charlie really must be waiting at the theatre for us. We started on our way back up the street as I tried calling his phone again, it just went to voice mail after the first ring.
"It's not like Charlie to turn his phone off, maybe something has happened to him Ang." I was starting to get scared but Angela put her arm around my shoulders and kept me walking.
"We're going to find him, stop worrying he's probably just trying to call you too" That was probably true, knowing charlie he got the wrong number and was having a five minute conversation apologizing to the poor person on the other end.
We reached the theatre but couldn't find my truck or Charlie anywhere, we stood around outside, me dialling his number over and over again, there were people going back and forth up and own the street making it hard to see if Charlie was amongst the crowd, so we went inside and sat in the lobby waiting for it to clear a little bit.
"Bella I'm sure he has just lost track of time, no need to worry!" Angela had her 'let's be positive' face on I couldn't bear to burst her bubble with the bubbling dread that was building up around my mushroom ravioli.
The crowd outside started to thin out and Angela and I went out to try and see if we could see him again. My truck was parked across the street, the relief that washed over me was only slight, I couldn't see Charlie in the cab, we walked over and sure enough Charlie wasn't there. The street was clear now, I pulled my cellphone out of my pocket and dialled his number again, I heard his ringer from across the street and turned to look but I couldn't see him anywhere.
"Angela do you hear that? I think it's his phone" The sound stopped as Charlie's voice message began playing in my ear, I began slowly crossing the street as I dialled again this time I definitely heard his ring tone and Angela and I followed it to the opening of an alley near the theatre.
My heart stopped as I saw Angela Run forward to Charlie who was laying in a heap at the cloaked figures feet, I was only slightly aware of a pressure in my shoulders and wrists as my arms were pinned behind my back, because Angela suddenly screamed in agony and dropped to the ground next to Charlie, her body twitching and thrashing with the pain I knew she had to be in
I knew who this was and they were here for me, this was my fault I made Edward let me come, I felt my knees give out but I was held up by the invisible force behind me.
~Alice's POV~
My head snapped up from the neck of the elk I had just been drinking from, I felt my eyes glaze over as the vision overtook me. Bella's face came into view she was petrified her heartbeat was hammering in her chest she would have sunk to her knees if it weren't for another cloaked figure behind her holding her arms behind her back. The small figure standing over Charlie slowly slid the hood back from their face revealing crimson Bella whimpered a name and the figure smirked. "Jane" ~
Charlie was on the ground at the feet of a small cloaked figure he wasn't moving but he was still alive he had a nasty purple bruise on his temple that showed he was easily overtaken by his assailant, I heard a girl scream in agony and saw her twisted figure fall to the ground next to Charlie.
Alice had her vision over thirty minutes ago, now the family and I were almost to where Bella was, we were just hoping it hadn't happened yet.
We could smell her now, we pushed ourselves to go faster than we'd ever gone before we rounded the corner just in time to see a cloaked figure grab Bella from behind and Angela drop to the ground and start writhing and screaming in agony, We charged forward but everything suddenly went dark.
"What's going on Carlisle?" I heard Esme whimper, apparently I wasn't the only one to be blinded, if i had a beating it heart it would have stopped at my realization.
"It's the Volturi! Alec is doing this!" As the words left my mouth I could hear a collective hiss escape my family.
~Emmett's POV~
I didn't like this nuh uh not at all! this wasn't gonna fly with me! Hell no!
"Human sucking scum bags" I was clenching and un-clenching my fists but Couldn't see I would risk hurting my family if i attacked blindly I just couldn't do it I...ME...the bear...helpless...
~Alice's POV~
If I could cry I would be, this was my vision playing out exactly how I had seen it I could hear Bella's heartbeat, it was dangerously fast, if a healthy eighteen year old was to have a heart attack this would be one occasion that it was possible.
~Carlisle's POV~
I could hear the girl trembling with fear her screams had stopped, the pain was all in her mind so she wasn't feeling it now but she was afraid that if she moved it would come again, Bella gasped as Alec's smell washed over us, so he was here!
I heard Bella whimper and struggle slightly as I heard the synchronized swish of two cloaks, what was happening?
My question was quickly answered as I heard the sound of tearing flesh as the aroma of blood filled the air...
~Edward's POV~
BLOOD! no, no not Bella's it's okay she's okay for now, wait Angela and Charlie! I could hear the other girl whimpering as her life force was drained from her, then all was silent but only for a split second, then her screams filled the air.
~Bella's POV~
"ANGELA! DAD! no no no this can't happen" I felt myself screaming over and over again I couldn't stop I tried fighting against the force behind me but was probably only succeeding in bruising myself even further, but I still continued to thrash and scream even as Jane approached me.
"Now Isabella...you are acting quite childish, I don't have the time for childish people.., now if you could please be quiet we could get to the matter at hand...killing you"
I continued to thrash and scream ignoring what the creature in front of me had said, I couldn't turn my screams off I looked towards my vampire family away from the two bodies laying just inside the alley they were all frozen, blinking and trying to feel around carefully most of them with barred teeth Jasper was in a crouch ready to fight blindly if it came to that, Emmett, Strong brave, never afraid was shaking if he could cry I swear tears would be pouring down his face.
On and on I screamed I felt a pain in my face and neck as she grabbed my jaw and wrenched my head to face her.
"Shut up or we'll kill them all" I knew in my head I had to stop and I even started to quiet down but obviously not fast enough for her liking she flicked her wrist towards me and said something too quiet for me to hear, I was suddenly on my hands and knees on the side walk I tried calling for help but if anyone had been close enough to hear me scream they would have been here by now...
I heard more than felt a thud on my forehead, I can only guess the person that had been holding me was told to finish me off, I felt myself be hoisted up by my wrists as I was swung through the air and suddenly I was free! I felt like I was flying, then I heard the sickening crunch as I hit the brick wall on the far side of the alley, then the pain came, but I was out of screams I could only suffer the pain while I lay on the cold hard cement, then I heard it, the shrill noise of vampires being torn to pieces then it all went dark.
