CHAPTER 02
BELLA'S POV
"Bella?" Edward called out for me again, from behind the closed door where I was currently battling myself. I didn't want to have another argument with my husband, I didn't want to upset my daughter again but I couldn't just ignore him. I wanted to run from our tiny stone cottage and into the arms of one of my in-laws.
It was fear that held me in place. If I left now would Edward be waiting for my return or would he really leave Forks?
Before I could make a decision as to what I could do with myself the door had swung open silently. Light spilled out into the hallway, blinding me momentarily.
"What are you doing?" He frowned, still holding onto the inner door handle.
"Trying to figure out a way to keep you here." I admitted, as my eyes adjusted to the brightness.
He barked a laugh.
I looked down at the large leather suitcase he held at his side.
"You really think I'm going to let you simply leave?" I asked him, raising my brows questioningly.
"I don't need your permission, Bella. There's nothing you can do to keep me here."
"Well, what if I…" I broke off, leaping forward, and snatched the suitcase from his hand before darting past him, back inside the room. "… Stole your suitcase?"
He spun round to glare at me, a deep growl emitting from his throat. I suddenly regretted my actions as he began to stride across the room toward me. I clutched the case tightly to my chest as he approached.
"D-Don't!" I yelped as he snatched the suitcase away, throwing it to one side. It burst open upon contact with the wall and its contents spilled out onto the wooden floor.
He gripped my forearms firmly as he shoved me against the wall I stood with my back to. The force of his push could have shattered the entire human skeleton, but instead the damage was dealt to the wall. Hundreds of tiny cracks appeared around where Edward was now forcing my body against the stone bricks.
His bared teeth were inches my face, I could feel his breath on my skin as he exhaled deeply through his gritted teeth.
"Why?" I whispered, my voice trembling. "Why do you have to leave, Edward?"
He ignored my question, and pushed me further into the crumbling wall. Jagged shards of stone began to cut into my back, the scent of my own blood overpowering the sickly sweet roses'. I clenched my jaw as I restrained myself from crying out in agony.
"E… Edward… Stop…" I spoke through my gritted teeth as a sudden sweat broke out on my forehead. "You're-"
Edward's vicious snarl broke my next string of words, causing my mind to suddenly become blank. I watched, dumfounded, as he shuddered violently, the way Jacob would before transforming into a huge werewolf.
He jerked his head up, his cold, hard eyes boring into my face.
I became motionless, a stunned rabbit in the blinding glare of lights on a quickly approaching vehicle. A small whimper escaping my lips.
END OF CHAPTER
AUOTHER'S NOTE
Thanks again for choosing to read my Twilight fanfic "Human"! Have a cookie!
Anyway... this chapter is shorter. Sorry about that. I tend to have a very busy schedule (what with collage and trying to maintain a social life). The time it takes for myself to write a chapter (long or short) can vary. Did I spell that right? Vary? I dunno. I'm too tired to check. My room is too hot and it's making me sleepy. Maybe I should sleep now...
