::sigh:: this chapter was hard to write. I'd write like…three lines and then get writers block. But it was definitely fun to write though! Edward is so fun to write about when he acts all life threatening and stuff. So lets see, news, news…oh if you haven't checked stephenie meyer's site or the lexicon recently I suggest you do. Stephenie put up the eclipse page and a little snippet…a MEAN snippet!!! I swear if Edward leaves again I'll throw the biggest fit in the world, then I'll curl up into a ball in the corner of my room and cry my eyes out ::sniff sniff:: I hate when he leaves :(
Thanks sooooooo much to everyone that reviewed. I love reviews they make me all excited and stuff! You guys are awesome. If any of you guys want something GOOD to read I suggest 'after glow' by jaden ink (one of my favorite reviewers ::wink wink::) I love your story!! (if any of you guys are upset I didn't suggest YOUR story, don't worry, I read all my reviewers stories and from now on I'll try to suggest a story in the beginning of all my chapters, so your turn WILL come:) its just jaden ink hasn't gotten much reviews and I don't know why…'after glow' is AMAZING!!!!)
Disclaimer: okay so I got this disclaimer from CJHayes's story 'a thousand miles' (so obviously i dont own this disclaimer) and I just had to copy it, its just so darn cute: Okay so I was sitting by a pond a couple of days ago you know dressed in my usual attire. A pink and purple princess dress with my curly/wavy brown hair cascading down to my waist when suddenly the pond rippled unexpectedly. A toad came out of the water and begged me to kiss him. He said that he would turn into my prince. So I kissed him. And you know what? He is my prince. So that's why I am typing on my laptop in a motel somewhere near the border of Kentucky. But the only thing I can't get out of my head is what he made me say before we kissed. "I don't own Twilight?" What is that about? Hmm but what can I say? Edward's kind of weird. Do you think there's something he's not telling me? lol
…Chapter 3…
More tears fell from my eyes now but for a different reason. He must be kidding.
"Edward, what are talking about?" I looked him in the eyes so that he could see how hurt I was. Was this some kind of sick joke?
His expression was blank. He spoke slowly, "Who…the hell…are you?"
I giggled at this, why I don't know. It just seemed to be the only thing I could do at the moment. Edward did have an odd humor. I decided to play along…
"Edward," I giggled again. "It's me, Bella." I gave him a little push on the shoulder and smiled brightly at him. But he just looked at his shoulder, at the exact spot I had touched him. He still had a blank expression on his face and I began to worry.
"Edward," I used my hand to lift his chin so that he could look at me. "Edward, its me…"
"Um…look…Bella. I'm sorry but…I don't think we've met. I—" he stopped and sniffed the air. He closed his eyes like he was in pain. I'd seen that look on his face before, but when…and then I remembered. The first day of school, in biology class…no, no it can't be.
Edward opened his eyes. When he had woken up his eyes were a crystal clear topaz color, but now they were pitch black. A low growl built up in the depths of his chest.
"Oh, god…" I whispered to myself.
That's when I heard Alice's scream from down the hall. "Oh no, Bella!" I looked behind me towards the closed door. Edward's growl suddenly became louder and more vicious and I was suddenly on the floor. Edward was pinning me down looking me deep in the eyes, but not in a loving or playful way but rather in a you're-my-food-I'm-gonna-eat-you way.
"What the hell, Edward!!!" I screamed. He wasn't playing around or anything, he was actually trying to kill me.
I heard the door slam against the wall.
"Bella!!" Alice yelled.
Edward looked up at Alice. "Whoever you are, get the hell out!!!"
"Emmett, Jasper!! Get your asses up here!!" Alice yelled from the doorframe. She took a step towards Edward and I, but Edward's growl just grew louder and he flashed his teeth in Alice's direction. She stopped dead in her tracks.
Edward had my arms pinned to the floor, I struggled under his hold but I couldn't break away.
"Edward, please," I looked up at him. He looked down at me. "Please…please stop playing around. I'm being serious here—"
"And so am I." he replied with no hint humor in his voice. He leaned in as he said this and I gave up struggling under his grip and shut my eyes as tightly as they'd go. I wasn't sure what came over Edward, but I didn't like it and whatever he was planning on doing I sure as hell didn't want to see it.
As waited for the pain I felt Edward's weight being lifted off of me. I opened one eye to see what had happened. Alice was hovering over me. I sat up, breathing heavily.
"Bella! You're okay!" Alice threw her arms around me but I didn't return the hug. Instead I looked over her shoulder at Emmett and Jasper holding Edward back. Edward was throwing me hateful glares, growling at me, and snapping at Emmett and Jasper's arms.
"LET ME GO!!!" Edward yelled, venom spit out of his mouth as he yelled.
By now I could see that the whole family was back in the room. Alice turned around and looked at Edward. She got up, leaving me alone on the floor.
She walked over to Edward and held his face with one hand. "Stop it, Edward!! You're scaring Bella!!" Alice's usually soft, songlike voice was now filled with threat and hatred.
I did what any pathetic human would do; I crawled to the back of the room, sat up again the wall and began hysterically crying.
Why was Edward doing this?
Esme ran to my side and put her hand on my back. "Jasper, I need you," she said. A wave of calm ran through my body. My crying became soft, silent tears and sharp intakes of breath.
Carlisle walked over to Edward. He was surprisingly worried, "Jasper why aren't you doing anything!"
"I'm trying Carlisle but he's not letting me." Jasper had nothing but fear in his eyes.
Carlisle looked back at Edward, "okay, we're going to have to try something different," Carlisle looked up at Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie. "You three, take Edward hunting."
All three just looked up at Carlisle bewildered.
"NOW!!" Carlisle roared. I winced, I hardly ever heard Carlisle use that tone with anyone.
Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie ran out of the room, dragging an irate Edward with them. As they left I dropped my head in my hands. I was so confused. Why was this happening? My mind raced, trying find a solution to this madness, but got nothing. Why couldn't Edward remember me? What was wrong with him?
"Bella…" I looked up to see Carlisle with a concerned look on his face. "Bella you have to tell me precisely what happened when Edward woke up."
I told him exactly what had happened. "Carlisle…I thought you said he was going to be f-fine."
"Well, Bella, I thought he was going to be fine…"
I looked down at the floor but Carlisle lifted my head back up. "Bella, I'll talk to him when they come back from hunting but for now I think it'd be best if Alice took you home."
He looked over at Alice. "Can you do that for me Alice?"
She nodded her head. "I'll stay over at Bella's tonight too, Edward's not giving this up…or at least not tonight."
A shiver went down my spine. Edward was going to try this again and I really didn't want to go through that again.
"Come on Bella," Alice was suddenly in front of me and had her hand out to help me up. I took it gratefully and waved goodbye to Carlisle and Esme. "Thank you." I said.
"No, thank you Bella," Carlisle said.
Alice pulled me out of the room. She picked me up in her arms and ran down the stairs and out the door.
"We'll take your car." I nodded and she put me down on my feet. She opened the passenger side for me and I looked at her questioningly. "Silly Bella," she giggled, "Your in no condition to drive." Surprisingly, I agreed with her, besides I was too caught up in my own thoughts about Edward. I got in the car and closed the door behind me and by the time I had closed my door Alice was next to me in the driver's seat starting up the car.
The drive to my house was generally quiet. When we pulled up in my driveway Alice took the key out of the ignition and looked over at me.
"Bella," she squeaked. I looked over at her. Her face seemed to be torn by the same emotions I was feeling. "Don't worry," she smiled. "Edward's okay."
I looked out the window. The sound of his name being said out loud hurt me. It ripped a hole through my chest almost as bad when he left me. He tried to physically hurt me yet it hurt way more emotionally.
Alice put her hand on my shoulder. "Just try not to think about…him. This'll be a fun night, just like a sleepover."
So… how was it? Tell me in your review ::hint hint::
I'll try to update as soon as I can. AND I'll try not leaving such "mean" cliffhangers. Personally I didn't think it was too mean…didn't you expect that to happen, I mean, it DOES say that he loses his memory in the summary::shrugs:: I guess you just didn't expect him to be such a meanie-bo-beanie about it! lol
