The smell drained all conscious thought from my head. She's coming. She's nearly here. I felt like a teenager again. How could i be nervous? It's cruel really. Playing the tape again without the necessity but i needed to see her before she saw me. I need to look suave and cool and running out to meet her wouldn't give off the right impression.
(SPLIT TO AU)
She can't live if shes not with me, but she won't leave him. I can't bring myself to hurt her... FUCK, what am i supposed to do.
"... Anything, please. Just don't hurt Edward" she begged
"Anything?" i smirk as a plan starts to form in my head. "well i was going to kill you and then kill him for trying to stop me" glancing down at her i hope with all i have that she believes me "but if you were to come with me, be my..." i search my head for a suitable name "human pet, i might stay away from Edward. All of the Cullen's in fact"
Bella shivered and whispered "human pet?"
Putting as much distain in my voice as possible i continued "like you were for the Cullen's. It intrigues me as to how that worked... If you were keeping me occupied then i wouldn't need to go after your beloved clan"
I thought she would refuse, maybe even call for her savours but instead she seemed to be considering it. This human never seemed to do what i expected "promise me you won't hurt them"
She was going to say yes? Isabella would be mine? "As long as you do what i ask i see no reason too" Glancing over at her the pain in her eyes nearly made me change my mind, then anger that i would challenge myself quickly took over. Now how can i make them stay away? All of the Cullens would be here within the hour, and that i couldn't risk staying around for. I needed to make them stay away but without killing them one by one i had no chance. They would listen to her though, my Bella. She could make them stay away. Her love for Edward would be the reason she stays with me, talk about bitter sweet. Choosing my words carefully i began "if they came for me i would have no choice but to kill them all, you would need to make sure they didn't follow us, for their own safety" I started to pace the room but stopped when in full view of the mirrors, my shapely face distorted in a way i couldn't recognise. Even my posture was slightly different, my scraggy hair neater than i can ever remember and my glowing red eyes had the look my prey took on before i drained them. Bella didn't know but right now i had more to lose than her.
"i'll tell Edward i don't want him, I'll say i can't see him anymore and he will leave us alone, it will work, please, just don't hurt them" from the reflection of her in the mirror i could see a single tear fall but she made no sound. Without any conscious thought i was kneeling by her side wiping the tear away with my thumb.
"see, if you cooperate things won't be so bad" i whisper in her ear. Her whole body shivered and i took this as a good sign "now let's plan exactly how you will keep your little clan safe"
Her emotional strength shocked me quite a bit, throughout the 20 minutes of our discussion of keeping the Cullens away only once did she sob. She kept proving that my decision to keep her was absolutely right. I couldn't be there as Edward could read thoughts, and would see through our plan, oddly enough he couldn't read my Bella's simple mind.
She would go alone, and she would have 15minutes, after which time if she was not back with me i would turn up and kill as many of them as i could. Thankfully all the drama since i met Bella made her believe that i could take them all on and win, so this, to her was the only way that everybody got out alive. She would tell Edward that she didn't love him, and that she didn't want to be part of his life. Apparently this would be enough for him to leave us be. When she came back to me i would take her away, far far away from any of the cullens reach. She would be mine, forever!
hey everybody, i couldn't think how to carry on so i decided to try this au version... let me know what you think about it? And what you think what should happen? I really want to know what EVERYBODY thinks, so everybody review please
