Running
Bella's POV
As I watched him sleep, I could hear people looking for us. I picked him up in bridal style. He was still asleep when I began to run again. No one would ever hurt him. He began to talk in his sleep.
"Bella" He mumbled in his sleep and smiled. I smiled along with him. If I could dream it would be about him as well. He woke up and startled by how he got in this position. I stopped so he could get on my back again. He didn't seem freaked out by how fast I was going. He actually kissed my cheek at one point. I stopped a little after sunset the next day. Edward needed to eat and so did I. We went to an Italian restaurant. The waitress almost hyperventilated when she saw Edward. He just took my hand and we sat down. When Edward wasn't looking, I stared her down with evil eyes. The next Waitress came out.
"Hi, my name is Amber and I will be your waitress this evening. Is there anything on the menu that catches your eyes?" She didn't even look at me, but Edward stared strait into my eyes while she talked. She wasn't so happy that he wasn't paying attention to her.
"Bella?" He knew well enough that I didn't eat. I was betting that he was trying to be nice. I shook my head. I wasn't even breathing.
"I'll have the mushroom ravioli." He told the waitress. (Sound familiar??) She nodded and walked away. Edward went back to staring into my eyes. He took both my hands in his.
"Why did you bring me here?" He asked.
"Do you want to know the truth?" I countered. He nodded.
"Carlisle was giving you to my father and my father was going to have you as a midnight snack." His face turned from happy to concern.
"I won't let anything happen to you." I continued. He smiled and he continued.
"So how were you able to leave?" He asked.
"I told my dad that I wanted you. I wanted you as a snack. Not that I would!" I said. He seemed to know that I would never hurt him. The waitress came back with his food and continued to flirt with him even though I was right there and my hands were entwined with his! While she was talking to him- and he was trying to get here to go away- I made faces behind her back. Edward would look behind her and chuckle. Whenever he did that, she would turn around and I would act as if I never did anything, which would make Edward laugh harder. Eventually she left. Edward ate and we left. We decided to get a motel room.
"So do you know where we will go?" He asked. I heard of a place where Carlisle had once been. It was called forks, Washington.
"I think we will be headed towards Washington." I told him. We watched some TV until he fell asleep. I very quietly sneaked from the room to go hunt. I didn't want to leave him alone, but my eyes were coal black. I stayed so close to the hotel that I thought someone would hear me. When I was done I went back to our room. Edward was still asleep when I came in. I laid next to him and he wrapped his arms around me. I snuggled into him and listened to the steady beat of his heart. I knew eventually that I would have to take that away if he was going to live. When the sun shone in the room, I knew we had been here too long. I got up and put a 1000 dollar bill on the bed and a note we had to leave on short notice. I carried him out the back door and sprinted into the woods. It was another 4 hours before he woke up. I stopped, kissed him and pulled him on my back. He would talk to me while we ran so the fact he started to talk was not abnormal.
"Why did you kiss me? Not that I mind." He asked after I started to run again.
"Have you not noticed how clingy I've been to you?" I asked him.
"Just asking. I love you." He whispered in my ear.
"I love you more." I mocked.
"No, I love you more!" He joked.
"Well I don't love you." I heard my father said. I stopped to see him a few feet in front of me. He looked at Edward and I put him down but he never moved from behind me.
"Well, well, Bella has fallen in love with a human." He mocked evilly. He slid into a fighting stance. I cant believe my father was about to kill me!
"You never cared did you? You like me because I was more powerful than you!" I screeched.
"You're stranger than me, faster, and have better self control. Who couldn't be jealous?" He asked. I pounced at him and snapped his head off. I ran back to Edward, pulled him on my back as gentle as I could but I herd him huff, and ran off at full speed. I would have to change him now. I was glad my venom worked in under an hour. We would need all the time we had. I made it to Washington and Edward jumped off my back. Here we would start our new life.
