Chapter 7
(BPOV)
I was dying. I had to tell Edward that I was engaged otherwise he would come after me and that would put him and all the other Cullens in danger. Why did I have to put Edward through all that pain?
I walked slowly out to the car that my 'family' was waiting in. I hated them even more now, now that I had to hurt Edward because of them. It was because of them that I was engaged, engaged to the very monster that kept me trapped here. I would just have to face it, Riley, would be the one that I would have to spend forever with. Riley would be the one that I would have to marry in 2 weeks. When I got into the car, I saw Alexa look at me worriedly. Alexa, the tall red-head, was the only one out of all the Lunanes that was semi-decent.
Riley was driving today. He was the leader of the Lunane coven and was my husband-to-be. If only Riley wasn't searching for a bride, if only Shaun hadn't seen me that day in Port Angeles and think that I would be good for Riley. If only I didn't have to marry the creature that was obsessed with me, if only I hadn't had to cause Edward so much pain.
(RPOV)- Riley (AN: If you guys don't get him and he is pretty vague sorry but I don't want to let too much out!)
Bella. MY Bella. I still couldn't believe that my bride was to be Bella. Sure, she didn't really like it now but hey I have all of eternity! Bella will be mine, Bella is mine.
Before Bella got into the car, Shaun told me that some boy was staring at her in class today. According to Shaun this wasn't an ordinary boy, oh no, this was a vampire. However, from his eyes, Shaun could tell that this vampire was an animal drinker. Disgusting! Those vile ones who strayed from the old ways. Eventually they would pay for breaking sacred tradition, but for now we would simply have to stay away from them, easy, for they aren't hard to spot with their filthy golden eyes, so unlike our noble burgundy ones. The only exception to this rule was Bella, Bella of course was special. When she was changed her eyes stayed those deep brown. Even when she hunted humans they stayed their color.
Back to the more pressing matter of this animal drinker who was looking at Bella. He could never have a chance with her. She is a human drinker and he drinks from lowly animals, not to mention Bella is mine! I'll just have to deal with this one soon.
(EPOV)
She ran away. Just ran away and never looked back. I was still stunned, Bella was betrothed. She was going to always be there for, not me, someone else. She belonged with someone else. I thought it had hurt when she wasn't there for 50 years when I thought she was dead. Then, I knew at least that she had loved me. Now, she's alive but she doesn't love me anymore, that hurt much worse. Who could she be betrothed too? Probably someone that could make her very happy and someone who rivaled with her beauty more than I ever could.
Well, I couldn't just ride home like this, I would have to tell Alice that I'd run home today.
And so I ran home. I told Alice and she just looked at me worriedly before agreeing. I would have to tell them that Bella was engaged. They all would be shocked and maybe even a little sad. They always thought that she would be the one for me, so had I. I still know that I could never love anyone but Bella, it was just physically impossible.
I had hoped that running would get my mind off of these thoughts, boy was I wrong. I couldn't go home like this, I didn't even want to. I just wanted to walk in the forest a bit and try to clear my cloudy head. I still couldn't believe that Bella was betrothed.
I started running again. I didn't stop til I heard a noise. That noise I knew very well was a vampire hunting. I tried to get closer without letting the other vampire notice me, many vampires were territorial. As I stepped close enough to see what was going on in the clearing and yet far enough away to be able to not be seen, I saw Bella. BELLA. She was drinking from a large deer she had found. When she was finished she moved it away and sat down on a boulder in the middle of the clearing with a sigh. She just sat there and to my amazement, the once cloudy day turned sunny, just around Bella in a perfect circle of light. So this was her power. Bella could manipulate the clouds I guess. It made sense. She always needed the sun and now she could have the sun any time she wanted.
With the sunlight Bella's skin started to sparkle. Indeed, this was the most beautiful creature on this earth. I would have been content to just stand there and stare at Bella as she sat on the boulder, but she suddenly pulled a book out. The title on the book was Pride and Prejudice. I knew for a fact that that was Bella's favorite book. Suddenly, I remembered that I had bought that book for her on her birthday. She still kept it. Did that mean that she still loved me or that she still loved the book? Either way it gave me hope.
(BPOV)
I needed to get away from Riley and the rest of them, I was also thirsty. I had decided to go into the forest with Pride and Prejudice, my favorite book. I remember when Edward had gotten me it for my birthday. I was so happy, now, that is probably all I'll ever have of him, memories.
I told my 'family' that I wanted to go hunting. Like always, Riley offered to go with me and like always I said no. He knew that I couldn't escape because of Shaun's ability to set invisible borders to certain vampires. I could only go away from Shaun for five miles until I felt an invisible wall that wouldn't let me through. That was one of the reasons why I couldn't escape from this nightmare.
If the Lunanes knew that I hunted animals he would probably be mad and force me to change to humans. Because of my eyes that had stayed the same as they were when I was a human, I could hunt animals and they would never know. They all probably thought that I just picked up on a stray hiker. They would never guess that I didn't follow the ancient Lunane tradition, that I didn't hunt humans. I could never drink from a human because of Edward. I had wanted to do something that had reminded me of him and hunt animals.
I had just finished my deer and brought out the sun when I started Pride and Prejudice. I felt myself start to give way to the story and into the book where human's only love problem was that their family had little money. It was so simple in that world that I almost laughed at how complicated my love life was.
Suddenly, he appeared. Edward came out of the trees to the left of me and stood right in front of me.
Sorry if this didn't answer all of your questions. I'm working on getting the answers out at a good place. Please, review and I'll try to get Chapter 8 out quicker. Sorry if I'm wasting time and rambling on, tell me if I am and I'll either stop the story or fix the problem.
