Chapter 3:Savior
All I heard was a deep thud, the thud of Victoria's body slamming against the wall. I heard scraping and dragging but no screaming or any sound of a fight. My savior must have been very strong. I thought of how strong he must have had to be in order to take down a vampire consumed with revenge.
My eyes where swollen shut and my whole body was limp from the pain of Victoria's attack, I waited for what felt like an eternity for a sound of someone or something but whoever fought Victoria had taken her away and left me alone. The light smell of smoke filled my nostrils and within seconds I had been lifted of the bed and whisked away. As soon as his ice cold skin touched mine I knew who had saved me, who else but my one and only love, Edward.
At the moment I wished nothing more than to kiss him as hard and passionately as I could, but that would have to wait for a more appropriate time. His touch soothed my pain but I was still aching all over. I figured he was taking me to his house to see Carlisle who would be able to restore me to my health. Edward was running as fast as he could to get me to his house safely. In my condition I was worried about intruding on the Cullen household because at the moment I was covered in gaping gashes. I wondered how Jasper would react, thoughts of my 18th birthday drifted through my head and I wanted nothing more than to fall asleep in my savior's arms.
Within minutes we arrived at the once abandoned Cullen home. I knew that Jasper had already left, they where waiting for me thanks to Alice. I was laid on the family sofa and without even a word I could feel a light tugging on my arm where Carlisle was stitch me up.
"These are some pretty nasty cuts" he said casually.
My mind swarmed with the horrifying images of the last hour. I was so grateful for Edward; once again I was alive because of him. I wondered how long now it would be before we got married. The thought seemed unreal to me but it would become reality in probably less than a year. After the wedding I would go off on a romantic honeymoon and on that honeymoon would be when I would make Edward change me. The thought of being with Edward for the rest of eternity brought a tear to my eye.
"Am I hurting you?" asked Carlisle
"I'm fine" I replied
I would have to pay the heftiest price of all but I would be with my one and only forever. Edward held my hand and I leaned over and kissed the back of his. The coldness of his hands made my lips tingle and at this my teenage mind began to daydream about the life I would lead with Edward. The aching pain and the daydreaming combined to form a narcotic that drifted me to sleep.
