POV Bella
Two years ago, when I left Arizona if someone had comed up to me and said that when I got to Forks I would meet the love of my life who would also happen to be a vampire and on my birthday week left me broken-hearted for ever I would've dialed 911 and told them that they needed to take that person to a mental hospital right away. Afterwards I would've thought it was funny how a person would have the backbone to tell me that, knowing how crazy it sounded.
Now, that wouldn't seem crazy at all. I would gladly give the person anything he asked for if he could tell me what I should be prepared for. Unluckily for me, no such person existed, so I had to face the truble my life had become. There was no point in staying back in Forks, why would I stay? To watch Charlie suffer my absence? To wait for the wolves not have any other option but to kill me? To stay, watching how the Cullen's faked worried for me?
I wasn't up for any of that, I've had enough of masoquisim for now. I couldn't go and finish my year in Darthmouth because y might end up killing my classmates and/or revealing my secret; and that was completely out of the question.
First of all, I desperatly needed a change of clothes; I couldn't just be around people with this on. I started to run back to Charlie's, since I knew no one would be there, when I caught the scent of something very sweet; it was making my mouth water. Without giving it much thought I ran towards the scent forgeting everything else completely.
After I had seen what I had been chasing was that I realized what had happened, what I was doing. The mountain lion had started to run away once he realized I was there but I caught up to him fast. That's something that I had forgotten about, the speed, the strenght.
The mountain lion was dry before I was satisfied so I left the body where I found it and kept on going to Charlie's. The little white wooden house was quiet, just as I expected. I quicky ran into my room, grabbed my bag and packed a few changes of clothes, the few money I had left and ran out of there as fast as I could.
Once I was far away and out of sight I changed my clothes and left the used pair under a tree. I highly doubt anyone would find them here. I knew I had to avoid going south due to the sunlight, unless I only traveled by night, and I also had to avoid being around people.
Somehow I knew that up in Alaska there would another clan, maybe they could help me get used to this life. I knew there was much more to the Vulturi than any of the Cullen's ever told me and in my brief meeting with them I didn't gather much.
A couple of weeks passed by, none of them [searching party] ever caught my sent, and I was very grateful for that.
The feeling of the wind blowing in my face was more amazing than anything I've ever felt in the last few months. There were many different things, that were always there before, but somehow invisible to the human eye. I heard some noises close to me so I completely stoped. I was then when I realized where I was standing.
Our meadow was right infront of me, the beautiful and colorful flowers blosomming and making the perfect decoration for what used to be our special place. I hadn't been here since the last time he brought me, which was a very long time ago.
The noises were slowly becoming to clear up, and they became completely familiar. Well . . . at least one.
I quickly turned to where I recognized the sound and many thing happened at once.
In front of me Edward was hugging the blond girl from the cafeteria and right by her side Alice and the rest of the Cullen's appeared.
"Tanya don't!" Alice screamed. I don't know if she said more, I didn't care. Nothing else mattered, not anymore.
Tanya had grabbed Edward's face in between both of her hands and pressed her lips againts his. Some part of my head expected that Edward wouldn't respond to the kiss, that he would back away. But he didn't. He just stood there, completely still except for his lips. He was returning the kiss, as if to not hurt her feelings.
"Like he used to do with you, when you wanted to go a little further"
I couldn't hold back the sob that escaped my lips when the lttle voice in my head told me that. That sound made him release Tanya and face me. The first thing I saw was the hurt of my face reflected in his eyes.
That's when I heard heavy footsteps behind me. I turned halfway around, not wanting to have the Cullen's completely out of sight, but wanting to see what had approached.
None of the wolves moved once they saw me, they were just standing there waiting for me to atack or run. The Cullen's however weren't doing the same. I saw with my perephiral vision how Alice, Esme and Rosalie had started to inch toward me; I instantly backed away.
"Bella" Esme whispered.
"Don't" I said when she took a step forward.
"Bella, we have to talk to you. Explain everything. You promised"Alice told me.
I laughed. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a happy laugh, it was a dry, sarcastic laugh.
"Well Alice, more than once people have broken promises" And when I said that, unintentionaly my eyes looked at Edward for less than a second.
"Bella you have to let us explain" Rosalie said, and I was more than surprised. She was the only one who always said what she thought, she was the only one who didn't lie.
"You were the only one who didn't lie Rosalie, I'm very grateful for that. At least one of the Cullen's can tell the truth."
"Bella, that's what I need to explain."She said.
But I wouldn't listen.
"Rosalie!"Esme scremed but it was too late. Rosalie launched herself at me, lucky for me, I was far away enough to dodge her, so she landed on the ground.
I knew what she was trying to do, so did Alice and Edward. She wasn't going to let me leave without them explainig, she was going to restrain me. I had to get out of here, fast.
Alice saw what I was planning so, like Rosalie, she tried to hold me back but I was faster. Unthinkingly I started running north with the Cullen's and some memebers of the pack hot in my heels.
I still didn't understand why they were chasing me, why couldn't they just leave me alone? Wasn't it enough to haunt my human life? Did they really need to get involved in my new life, or however you want to call it?
"Bella! You need to let us explain!" Carlisle called me.
If he had been the only one there, or maybe just with Esme, I would've stoped and listened to what he had to say but Edward was here and my only goal was to get as far away from him as possible.
I just ran faster as every second ticked by. Since I'm a terrebly unlucky girl, human or not, when we started going downhill Edward had begun to get closer, the other were far behind. I mentaly smiled at the thought of being faster than the rest.
Edward got a grip on my shirt and pulled, in my attempt to get away I endded up tripping, bringing him with me. Every time I tried to get away from him he would just pull me back, rolling downhill wasn't helping the cause either. When we finally reached neutral ground Edward pinned me down so that I had no way of escaping. I still tried to worm my way out, having no success.
"Bella stop moving, listen to me!" He pleaded.
Then I remmember something that I had been told by one of them. Newborn vampires are the strongest and fastest vampires out there. At least for their first year.
I just hope I would be stonger than Edward.
You guy probably hate me, but I deserved it. I haven't been here in quite a while so I tried to do this a little longer than my usual ^^.
Im writing the next chapter right now so please hurry up and review!
