The dancing was amazing, how the music matched each step we took. I smiled to myself thinking about it. It was beautiful, and at the end of the show, when everyone was cheering for me, it was like starting a new life all over again. I looked around and saw smiling faces in the crowd, even his. My eyes darkened at the thought. His smirk was always visible. The way his crooked teeth would stick out of his mouth. His blonde hair pulled back into a pony tail. The black sunglasses gleamed against the light. That was yesterday. How he turned out to be everywhere I was, was a mystery.
"Bella? Hello is someone in there?" someone was knocking on my head. I slapped the hand away glaring at whoever it was. Unfortunately it was Edward, which was the only person I hated glaring at. He jumped back slightly, stunned by the intensity of anger, and fear in my eyes. I tried to soften the look on my face, but I couldn't, not right now anyway.
"Bella, what's wrong?" Edward whispered softly looking into my eyes. EVERYTHING IS WRONG. I wanted to scream at him. He is after me; he is trying to murder me!
"Why are you asking?" That was only thing I could say to cover up my secrets. He lifted his hand up slowly. I could see it trembling slightly as he ran his fingers under the exposed skin under my eyes. My eyes automatically closed and my heart pounded feverishly.
"Your eyes, they are dark." He breathed, and I smelt his breath. It was warm, but hypnotizing. I felt his hands stroke my cheeks every second, slightly tickling my sensitive skin.
"My eyes are always dark." I muttered, not wanting him to stop. His hands felt so good on my face, I smiled slightly, hoping it wasn't noticeable.
"I know they are, but when you are happy, your eyes have this magnificent glimmer to them. When you are sad, your eyes turn very light and dull. But when you are mad, there is a huge dark intensity visible to anyone." Edward explained. My eyes quickly snapped open, and shock suddenly conquered my face.
His face was literally an inch away. Our noses were barley touching. I could feel heat radiating off of him. It was a while since Edward kissed me. I think he only kissed me so I would shut up.
"Edward…" I moaned softly, too soft for him to hear, but he quickly pulled back and sighed. I felt loneliness in me. I suddenly felt cold without him. It was like I needed him. He was my brand of heroine. I looked down at that thought, blush crept onto my face. Then something caught my eyes. The ring. My fists were clenched so hard I could see the white, instead of my pale skin color.
I couldn't forget about my Edward. Edward found his love, he had his ever after. Now if only I could have mine.
"Bella...." Edward murmured into my ear. My eyes fluttered slightly, and I cursed myself mentally.
"Yes…."
"Are you trying to hurt someone." He chuckled. I groaned and leaned against the wall of my house. He knew exactly how to kill the mood.
"No I wasn't" I snapped and his chuckling died down.
"So, any luck on finding Edward." He asked, staring at me intently. I shook my head.
"You should meet Bella. You and her would hit off in seconds." He smiled at the thought as I shuddered. There was no way I was going to meet the fiancé of the guy I was beginning to have feelings for.
"I love her so much….." he muttered to himself, probably not intended for me to hear.
"I have to go somewhere." I straightened my pose, not letting the tears that were threatening to spill, and walked to my Vanquish. Edward jumped up and started to run behind me.
"Was it something I said?" he asked, I could hear the pain in his voice.
"NO! I just have to go somewhere."
"Bella….THE ELIMINATION ROUND IS TODAY! Please can't you go some other time? He pleaded.
I swung the car door open. Once I was in the car I slammed my foot down on the gas pedal, before closing the door. I looked in my mirror and saw Edward standing in the middle of the street, with a pained look in his eyes. Tears were streaming down my face.
Why couldn't Edward Cullen be here with me. My love. Why did Edward Masen have to have his love already?
I drove randomly, turning anyway I felt like it. I still knew where I was. I couldn't get lost here, I knew my way around Hollywood. I stopped at a red light.
"Isabella" someone whispered. My breath got caught in my throat. I tried to breathe, but it was impossible.
I had to find out who else he killed. The police have the exact information. I turned around and sped of towards the police station.
"Isabella, you'll never find me." The voice laughed. I ran once I got to the parking lot. I was about to reach the door, when I saw him. He was touching me. Standing right in front of me was………..my stalker.
"Hello there." He smirked, holding onto the hand that was about the open the door. He caressed my cheek lightly, his lips were formed into a tight line. I tried to pull away, but he held my hand tighter. He led me to the side of the building and pressed me against the wall. I started hyperventilating.
"There is no need to be afraid, Isabella." He murmured, his face only inches away. My mind flashed back to Edward from earlier.
"You won't hurt me…." I stuttered looking at the ground. I felt his hand under my chin, and he forced me to look into his eyes.
"Yes, I won't hurt you………….." He bent down until his lips were by my ear.
"I'll kill you." He kissed my neck slightly and laughed. His nose was pressed against my hair, and I could feel him smelling me. He groaned.
"You smell nice, Isabella." His forehead was against mine. I was shaking with fear, I tried to yank my hand from his grasp, again, but he pushed me harder against the wall. I could feel the pieces of cement that was sticking out of the wall dig into my skin.
"Come on Isabella, let's cooperate." He soothingly told me. I shook my head frantically. He started bending my hand back, and I could feel the pain. He clasped his other hand over my mouth.
"Will you cooperate now?" I shook my, once again. I knew I was being stupid, but I wasn't going to die. He kept bending my hand until I heard a deafening crack. My eyes went wide as I choked back an agonizing scream.
"You said you wouldn't hurt me…." I stated softly under his hand, biting my lip. I looked at my hand, the one with the ring was broken. It was swollen, but also was bleeding. I clutched it to my chest.
"Well Isabella……now you know what the consequences is if you disobey me. Next time, I won't be so generous." He smiled, but then frowned. He had a thoughtful look on his face. Slowly he took his hand from my mouth and his face got closer. Then suddenly his lips brushed against mine. His eyebrows furrowed.
"So soft…" he muttered.
"Miss?" asked someone else. I turned and saw a police officer.
"H-hello." I stuttered still trying to bite back a scream.
"Do you need any help?" I turned to where he was, but there was no one there. Only me and the officer. My eyebrows crinkled together in concentration.
"Miss?" the officer asked again. I jumped slightly and nodded.
"I would like to see the records for the previous stalkers?" I asked.
"Oh, then follow me," the officer looked shocked a little. I followed him, but turned to look back at my car. Someone was leaning against it.
He waved. My stalker. He was smirking, but it wasn't the same smirk, it was a forced one. I looked into his eyes, there was any passion for violence in them towards me. There was something else.
He touched me, he kissed me, and he told me he would kill me. Worst of all he hurt me…he broke my hand.
I shuddered, but tried not to break down in front of the police. He led me into the building, and down a corridor. He went to a filling cabinet and unlocked it gesturing me to look inside.
"This is it Miss, just call me over if you need any help." I nodded and waited for the officer to leave and then started to search. I found the list of names.
Murdered
Isabella Lawton
Isabella Dallas
Isabella Walsh
Isabella Smith
Isabella Diaz
Isabella Tobaczek
Their names. I shook my head closing my eyes quickly. I looked at the files again......my eyes welling up a little.....Their first names. I clutched my hand with the ring on it. I began to feel the pain again. I bit my lip so hard I could almost sense that I was drawing blood.
"Edward......he........"
"Edward he what?" whispered someone angrily. I froze and turned around. Edward. I held out the sheet I was looking at and he took it, looking at it before his eyes were bulging out of his head.
"He's after………Isabella's." I stuttered. Edward brought me to him and hugged me tightly. I moved my broken hand so he wouldn't hurt it.
"Oh, Bella….don't ever run off like that again. I took a bus and saw your car here so I asked if you were here." He explained. I looked into his eyes, still seeing pain.
"Come one we have a half an hour to get to the show." He stated and started walking. I quickly took out a wet wipe from my purse and wiped the blood off my hand. Neither the officer, nor Edward noticed the blood.
"Give me your keys." I willingly handed my keys over, even though I never do. I was in no state to drive. He looked at me confused but opened the door for me. After he got in he started driving, but I could feel his eyes on me.
"Bella…." He hesitated, trying to say the right words.
"….you would tell me if there was something wrong, would you?" he asked. I gulped looking down at my hand. I was really swollen.
"I don't know." I admitted. He sighed.
"Then let me ask you one question." He insisted. I nodded.
"What happened to your hand." I froze slightly, but then recover quickly so Edward wouldn't see.
"I hit my hand against the wall when I was walking." I lied. He studied my expression for a second, but let it go.
"Is it broken?" He kept bending my hand until I heard a deafening crack.
I winced shaking my head.
"Nothing ice couldn't fix." I stated cheerily.
"Good." He said boldly.
We made it to the dance studio and Edward rushed me into the trailer.
"Jenny, Misty she's here." And then he quickly exited.
"Oh, Bella, look at you, you look terrible, is something wrong?" exclaimed Misty. I shook my head.
"Ok then, let's get you into that pretty dress again. It looks amazing on you!" ranted Jenny. They redid my make-up and I looked exactly like I did yesterday.
"Ok, go to Edward." Misty pushed me. I ran into Edward and he chuckled.
"Let's go." He grabbed the hand that was broken and I hissed. Edward froze and looked at me.
"It's still swollen." I laughed half-heartedly.
"It feels broken." I quickly tore my hand away, trying not to hiss.
"Welcome to Dancing with the Stars…..I'm Tom Bergeron."
"And I'm Samantha Harris. Today is our first elimination round. I'm sure all these stars are nervous." I agreed with her. I looked over at Edward, he called Jenny over and was talking to her. She nodded and ran off. I looked at his quizzically, but he ignored me.
"Bella, here but this on." She held out a hand brace. I glared at Edward, but reluctantly put it on my broken hand.
"This is noticeable." I whispered. She laughed at me.
"Have some faith in me Bella." Jenny held out 2 black arm socks and I quickly put them on. She led me to a mirror and I smiled. It looked really good.
"Ok, you are beautiful. Get back to your spot." She said playfully. I ran back to Edward and he forced a smile.
"Thank you." I mouthed and he nodded. We all enter on the stage dancing a little to the music.
"Let's check our leader board."

"Our judges fell in love with one performance and they would love that couple to dance the dance again for us. This couple is safe and will move on to the next round. Let's welcome Isabella and Edward!" I gasped and glanced at Edward.
"Well let's get dancing." He replied. I looked at my hand.
"But…."
"You said it was nothing ice couldn't fix." He was using my own words against me.
"Ok, fine it is broken." I admitted. He nodded and whispered into my ear.
"Just remember to give me your good hand each time we have to hold hands. The dance will change a little, but nothing too noticeable." I nodded and we went onto the stage.
"Dancing the quickstep, Isabella Dwyer and her partner Edward Masen." We started dancing. I looked away from Edward a little, until he grabbed my good hand. I stared into his eyes, there was burning passion in them. We kept dancing. I spun around 8 times again………..pure luck.
"Bella." Edward whispered, it was barely audible. I looked up and we were finishing the dance. A couple more measures.
"I think I am falling for you, Bella." He stated. I gasped.
"Prove it." I stuttered, and he smiled.
"I will." he whispered, and that was when he kissed me. The world just seemed to disappear. It was just me and Edward. I knew he kissed me before, but this is different. There is love and passion in this kiss. It felt like there were fireworks going off at that moment. This proved it, he really did like me.
He pulled away and smiled, and I gave him a weak smile in return. Everything was quiet, but them the crowd erupted in applause. I was grinning like an idiot. I knew I could sense Alice and Rosalie squealing their heads off in the red room.
"Wow. I actually would like to know what the judges are thinking right now…….how about you guys?" asked Tom. Everyone yelled YES! Edward chuckled.
"Ok, Isabella, Edward, stay here. Carrie- Ann."
"You know, that dance was different than you danced it yesterday. You chemistry is unbelievable, it's just hard to imagine that you would be paired up with someone that was perfect for you." she answered.
"Len."
"This is a classical dance and that's exactly how you danced it. Yes, it was different, but it met all the criteria that you need to dance a quick step.
"…..and Bruno."
"Wow, you guys are like 2 graceful birds flying around. Suddenly you look into each other's eyes, the whole world disappears. You are love birds, soul mates, and the dance was beautiful. You know, I am actually looking forward to you watch you dance. It captivates everyone and it's hard to describe, but it is like you are the King and Queen of dance."
We exited back stage. Everyone was gaping at us.
"Ok, to our elimination, the couple who is suppose to be eliminated is……………….. Erik Yorkiee- Cheryl Burke." We all applauded them for dancing and they danced their last dance.
I sat on stage while people exited the building. The next thing I know is I'm asleep.
"Bells, let's play Beauty and the Beast…..I'll be the big strong beast and you'll be beauty, Bell." He said.
"Me Bell?" I asked.
"Yes, you are Bell." He replied smiling.
"I love you….."
"I love you too………little sis……"
