Gone
When I regained consciousness, I wasn't too surprised to find myself still in the church, lying on the edge of the alter- and all alone.
He's gone
My heart ached, my body wilted, and I broke down. He left me. He left me! He said he never would. And now? Why now? I wouldn't let him. No.
I pushed myself off the ground, stumbling and breathing without really taking in air. The tears were pouring like crazy now, and they felt heavy against my cheeks. I ungracefully headed down the steps and isle. I pushed open the doors and ran out into the misty afternoon.
But where could I go now? I had no ride since my dad had driven me here, and I had no phone to call Seth to transport me. I looked to the left, and stared into the threatening woods that stood before me. I ran into them, tripping on my train ever 10th step. I knew that I was running as fast as I could, yet it seemed that I was getting nowhere. I didn't exactly no where I was headed, or what I was planning on doing, but I kept running anyway.
Suddenly what felt like a cannon flew into me at the waist. It knocked the breath out of me and I fell backwards, smacking my head on the wet, mossy ground. I let out a shriek of pain and held my eyes shut. My waist felt like it was in a million pieces, and like my legs were no longer connected to me.
"Didn't mean to be so aggressive," said a young sounding voice. Jane… no! "I had forgotten how delicate you are." I couldn't respond. It was like she knocked my voice out of me.
"Well of course if you had been turned into a vampire, as was promised, that wouldn't have hurt one bit. But I'm afraid you are still a mortal. And that's exactly why I'm here. You see Bella, I'm not very patient. When I want something done, I want it done right away." I tensed. "So here I am and here you are. What better time?"
"No!" I managed to gasp! "Edward!"
"Oh sorry dear, but your vampire friend won't be joining us now. He had, well a little distraction. One of his little werewolf friends- ahhh what's the name? Oh yes. Seth I believe."
"NO!" I shouted!
"Hush!," she yelled, and I froze. "He's fine. Well at least for now. I got one of my men to lure him around the church, close enough for Edward to hear his thoughts, and well, I'm sure you know the rest."
No! I spoke in my head this time, fearing a quick death. But then, ironically, I felt a little bit of relief. Edward hadn't left me forever. He still wanted me.
"Well let's get this over with," she sighed. I winced and held my arms over my face. Why did this have to happen? Why couldn't she have come just a little bit later, just after I was already turned into a vampire, and by Edward.
I heard a high pitched snarl and tried to shut down my mind.
