I couldn't move
I just sat there and let the tiny silver cell phone drop out of my hands, onto the floor. The last thing I heard was Edward saying, 'Bella', and the sound of the phone cracking on the hard linoleum.
I was paralyzed with fear. Fear that threatened to cut off my airway passage. I was gasping for oxygen.
I stared into the red eyes of the pale-faced vampire. I never saw this person before, and I'm pretty sure Edward didn't. He would have never let me have two feet of breathing room if he did.
"Hello, Isabella." The stranger's voice was deep. Deeper than Emmett's and had a very soothing velvetness to it. Although, I was anything but soothed at the moment.
I couldn't answer.
The stranger was a male. He, of course, was beautiful. Not like Edward or Rosalie, obviously, but definitely above average.
"Where are your protectors?" He asked, walking towards me.
"W –w-who?" I stuttered, practically dying from my own fear when he brought his marble hard, hands to my face and was studying me.
"You know. The…Cullen's."
He said their name like it was a cancer.
"Ummmm," my teeth chattered at an unbelievable speed.
"Yes, well I suppose that they'll be here soon. Correct?" He didn't wait for my answer. "Yes, because of Alice. The little one. If I didn't absolutely loath her I'd call her quite cute. Very small." He smiled at me with a menacing smile. "I'm sorry, how rude of me. My name is Lucas."
I nodded. His skin was pale. Paler than I was used too. It made me shiver. His eyes flashed down to me and he smiled.
"You see, I've been dying my thirst—human and animal—for fifty years. Why you ask?" He laughed, crossing over to the piano. He started playing a song. It was soft and it was the scariest song I've ever heard. "Well, Isabella. Alice saw a 'vision' of me and…tattled on me, if you will. I nearly escaped death by this clan. If it weren't for some female distracting…the big one, I wouldn't be here. You see?"
In one swift movement, his hand slammed down on the keys. An ear piercing sound echoed throughout the near-empty house.
Edward…where are you?! Alice would have seen this by now!
"Well, time to get to the point. Alice is very found of you, Isabella—or do you prefer Bella?"
"Uhhhh…B-bella."
"Very well then. Bella, not only is Alice, but the whole clan. Correct?" He asked this while tearing the piano apart. With every aching second that went by, I was more and more aware the I was either going to collapse under stress or fear. The seconds were merely ticking.
"And I suppose since, apparently you are expecting, they have grown found of that too. I'm very lucky, you see. Two blows in one. My my my…
"Oh well, enough chit-chat. Let's get to it, yes?" I ran toward me and gazed over my body. "How unfortunate too. So close to your due date. Quite a pity."
In that second I felt a sharp bite on my breast.
OMG!! You guys are sooo going to hate me for such a short chapter. Right? Haha, sorry. I have to keep you guys guessing. I'M SO GLAD YOU ALL ARE LOVING THIS!! For some reason he HAD to bite her on the breast. He seemed to me like a perverted vampire... REVIEW pleaseee!!
