Chapter 4:Running

Bella's POV:

I stood still, staring into Jaspers eyes. He stared back. I liked that. I heard Mary Alice go to sit with Rosalie. Rosalie seemed like she was nicer as a vampire. I was just now excepting the fact that my best friend, doctor, true love, and attacker were all vampires. It was still weird to think about, but I was fine with it. My body still wanted to run away, but I didn't. I would stay forever if I had too. Just to keep staring into his eyes.

It was a little strange that I wanted to stay here, when just a minute ago, they had to drag me in through the doorway. I wanted to stay forever, even thinking that. My brain was getting annoyed. I was being so repetitive with my thoughts. I should want to run, but I don't. I want to stay. I had thought to myself over and over in different word worms. I realized how dark it was, so I needed to go home. I sighed. Jasper remembered something and walked me out the door.

I stood outside, biting my lip. I stopped when I thought of it breaking skin. That would be a little bad for my health...

He realized it had gotten darker by the minute and scooped me up. I jumped a little at first, but then didn't really mind. I don't remember anything on the way there. All I could think about was his eyes-which I stared into the entire way-and how they seemed to grow gradually darker. That frightened me. It was almost unnoticeable, but they grew slightly darker with time. Before I wanted it, I was home. I steeped into my house. Jasper stuck his hand in the door way. I looked up, just noticing how tall he was, and he kissed me. Once more. I was shocked. He laughed and was gone in a flash. I was still wide-eyed and stunned as I took the journey up the stairs to my room-tripping once-and closed my heavy door. I went to my bed and plopped down onto it.

What a day, I thought to myself. I laughed at a joke I thought of then jumped up and spun around as something scratched against my window. I was ready to cry when I realized it was just Mary Alice.

"You scared me," I said as she came through the window.

"I can't believe this!" she screamed. She looked on the edge of tears. I noticed her eyes were red-like the attackers-and stepped back. She noticed this. "What?" she realized then "Oh, my eyes? Yeah, it's really hard not to slip... this might be a hard week..." she trailed off in her vampire thoughts.

"What's it like?" I blurted out.

"Sensational," she said, grinning. That was enough for me. My friend was happy, I was happy for her.

"Umm... I need to tell you something slightly less shocking..." she said.

"What?" I could handle anything at this point.

"Umm... you know how I always blank out?" she asked me.

"Uh-hu." I answered, suspicious.

"Well, it's also the reason I went to that hell hole they called, 'a place to help, my kind.' It's well... I can kinda see the future..." she spit out, exhaling deeply.

I wasn't surprised. Nothing would surprise me after today. "Oh," I said, unable to think of anything else. She wasn't surprised to see my reaction. She probably saw that...

She saw my shock when someone broke through the window. 'Bout time. It's already 10:00. He usually attacks around eight o' clock.

"Come, would you like to help?" he asked Alice and eyed me. She saw what he wanted to do.

"Well, you know that 14-year-old girl staying with her when you first attacked? Hi," she said. His eyes widened and he tried to run, she caught him.

"So, why do you want to kill her? Hmm?" she asked. He started begging her to let him go. I was in the back corner, my eyes wide and mouth ready to scream. I heard no noise, but saw Jasper in front of me immediately. He growled at the man. Alice let go and they traded places. Jasper threw him out the window and the man ran far away. My eyes were still wide. Alice and Jasper took me downstairs to write Charlie a note to say I had left. I did.

Jasper picked me up and carried me out the door, Alice close behind. I couldn't help myself from staring into his eyes... again...We ran to the house. I was set on the couch, waiting for him to return. When he did, he picked me up and took me deeper into the woods. I started to worry as I heard the noises come through the cracks of the tree's.

"It's fine," Jasper whispered into my ear, his cold breath tickling my neck and sending chills down my spine.

I was instantly glad when I saw the day break through the tree's. I had no idea where we were. All I saw was a river, and a few patches of flowers. I ran to the river and drank the clean, fresh water flowing through it.

Jasper stood beneath the cover of the tree's, so I went to sit by him.

"Why are you not afraid of anything? All your afraid of is... him." Jasper said.

"Because, I know the people that I should be afraid of. I know they wouldn't hurt me." I said, coyly. I wanted to kiss him again. He most likely knew it, too. He just wouldn't. That bothered me. He had kissed me already, what was the big deal?

I wanted to kiss the ice-cold lips that I had grown addicted too. I wanted them bad. I wanted them now. I decided if he wouldn't give me what I wanted, I would I leaned in and pressed my lips to his, he didn't pull back, either. He stood there and mover his lips with mine, swaying with mine. I wanted to move the kiss further, but he moved away. I hadn't noticed my lungs burning for air until they were full with it.

"Wow," he said, I was still enjoying the sensation going on in my lugs, being reunited with air to talk.

I hear something rustle the tree's. Jasper scoops me up and runs, faster than I had ever seen anyone, including Jasper himself, run. We were being tracked. Great.

Okay, I know this wasn't so long, but I like it. It's kind of like the meadow seen, but not at all, ya know? Yeah :)
kk, Only one review.
