So here goes nothing. I'm going to plunge in head first in amongst some of the best writers I know. : )
It all began after Italy happened; Edward and I were back together. I was still a little worry about him leaving again. I mean, if he did it once he could do it again, right? But I hoped-yes, I hoped, even though that was the worse thing to do- that he would stay forever and he would change me. We have had that argument countless times. He was the one that would always stay the same, as I grow older. I don't want to live forever, oh but if we could be together I wouldn't mind an eternity.
We had returned from Italy. I was grounded; Jacob was being an idiot. Not answering my calls, and if he did answer them, he wouldn't have brought those motorcycles over. To say the least, things were rocky. And once my groundation was done and lifted, I went down to La Push. Jacob and I fought- things have never been so bad. Edward and I spent every second together and Charlie learned to accept our relationship- even though it wasn't easy at the beginning. And I suppose this is where we actually begin…
I was locked, yes locked, in a room. Not just any room, it was Edward's room on the second floor of the Cullen's house. Now, in any other circumstances I wouldn't mind this situation at all. Its dark outside and the moonlight shines through his wall size window. The Cullens had moved their meeting downstairs; after they found out I could hear them. This meeting was based on Alice's vision.
Alice, Edward, and I were talking about prom, when all of a sudden her eyes shaded over, her face went blank, she collapsed to the floor. I rushed to her side and Edward dashed to get the others- having seen the vision himself. Edward, even against my protest, locked me alone in his room. And now I have my ear pressed against the wooden door that prevented my escape, straining to catch anything they said.
'Shit' I heard Emmett swear.
'Watch your language!' –Esme
'We'll meet them in the baseball field,' –Carlisle 'before they reach town.'
'Damn Mutts, their not going to take my little sister!!' –Emmett
Oh My God, They are going to confront the werewolves- Jacob. No, they can't do that, not over me. I started banging on the door-yelling. I heard the roar of the Jeep starting up and leave. Tears streamed from my eyes. Why. Why, I thought. Bella-I told myself- relax, calm down, concentrate, you can, you have to get out of here. I looked around the room. Edward's new bed with crème sheets neatly tucked in stood in the corner. The couch on the far wall, and his CD racks stood against the other. And for some strange reason he had an old warn baseball bat and ball leaning against the shelf. I had to act fast or else Alice would be able to stop me before I could escape.
I grasped the bat and swung, the window shattered to millions of pieces. I ran the bat along the edges of the window to get rid of the sharp pieces remaining. Then I dropped the bat outside to hear how high up I was. I went to the bed and stripped the bed of its sheets. I knotted one to the other, one end to the bed and the other end I throw out the window. I started to climb down. I slide a few times and every time it happened I stopped, breathed deep and then continued to climb down. I reached the ground- glass cracked underneath my shoes. I ran to the drive way and stumbled once, catching myself before hitting the ground. I was getting better at that.
I jumped into my truck that I had drove over in. I've only ever been to that field once but for some reason I knew the way. I guess the stress of the situation pressed down on me in such away that I just knew…
I drove as far as I could before my truck started to give out over the bumpy train. I slammed my door as I jumped out. I started to run to the scene. I was so tired, gasping for breathe, clutching my stomach in pain. I was about to roll over and collapse when I saw it- a break in the trees. I heard growling- a lot of it. Esme was corned by three wolves; Carlisle approached and stood guard over her. Alice chased away a wolf that had injured Jasper. Rosalie and Emmett were engaged with two others in a battle of strength. Edward, where was Edward….and Jacob. I went around the battles and rushed into the forest. I found Edward and Jacob circling each other. Jacob let out a roar; I throw myself between them.
"Bella…" said Edward confused, "Leave, "he then ordered. Ignoring him I took a step towards the wolf.
"Jacob, please don't…"he approached ready to pounce. I took a step back frightened of him; I hugged Edward. Suddenly Jacob strike; he hit both of us. I got most of the blow; at least Edward was safe.
Jacob's sharp claws ripped across my face, down my neck, to my shoulder, down my back. I screamed, fell closer to Edward in pain, as blood poured from all of my wounds. Edward picked me up, running away. I felt his breath catch as he held me to his body. I looked up to see his face, his eyes black as ash. I saw a second battle burring. That look I will never forget, the thirst was growing. He was about to give in, I could tell.
"I love you, I know you wouldn't…" I said in a whisper. The animal he had become was growing more feverous but conflict raged in his eyes. He started lowering his head as he still ran on.
"Edward…" I managed to say. His eyes burned into mine, sadness wailed in them. He would have cried if he could, I just know it.
"Sorry…" he gasped. I raised my hand to his cheek and he pressed it to my hand.
"Its okay, I…" said before I fell into the darkness that clouded around me, suffocating me.
