We had only been running for about 8 minutes when we reached an opening in the large dense forest. At the end of the clearing was a large wooden lodge, it resembled something you'd find at a ski resort or in a retirement magazine. There was a long road leading up to the house and in front of it were 5 luxury cars I never even knew existed. The A frame windows where lit up, and I could already hear the commotion going on inside. Thomas was tight to my side the whole time.
When we entered the house, I could smell human all over. It was something I thought I'd never smell in the house of vampires even if they didn't drink from them. I looked around nervous and anxiously awaiting some sort of ambush. But none came, once inside far enough to see and hear everything, I saw two more of our kind sitting around a large black stained table. Carlisle motioned for us to sit and we took the seats further away from everyone else.
To my right sat Alice, Jasper and one I didn't know, she had long light brown hair and a beautiful smile was on her face. I couldn't help but smile sheepishly back. To my right was another who I had not yet met, an unimaginably beautiful girl. Even for a vampire I thought her looks were way over done, long blonde hair, full red lips, and big wonderful golden eyes, which were narrowed as she glared at me and Thomas. Finally Carlisle sat at the head of the table.
"I'm sure this situation must be more then confusing to you. So first I'll go around the table and introduce everyone." The pretty one's face fell. She looked deeply disappointed at the word "introduce". "You've already met Alice and Jasper, This is my wife Esme –he pointed to the the now frowning women to jaspers left- and to my left is Rosalie." She didn't break her unbearable glare.
"I'm Bella, this is Thomas. We've come from New York, my other friend, Zander, said there were vampires here who didn't eat humans. I was so fascinated I had to come see for myself." Carlisle exchanged a look with Esme.
"I've heard that name before, from one of the other coven leaders here." He didn't seem happy about Zander's name coming-up.
"Bella dear, there is so much we have to say. I know a lot might sound unbelievable and strange but we just need you to listen." I looked at Alice, she was holding herself and starring right into my eyes. I nodded and she continued.
"About 2 years ago we all lived in a small town in Washington called Forks. You were there with your father, Charlie, and we were there with…ourselves. You found out about us being vampires and we treated you like family until…we had to leave because something came up. Jasper and I took you to Phoenix to hid you from a tracker that wanted your blood, because back when you were a human you smelled so good. But in the end we managed to kill him. Then right after we had to leave again, only this time you weren't aloud – I mean you couldn't come with us. We didn't see you for a lot of months. Then I couldn't take it anymore and came to visit you when I had a vision you jumped off a cliff."
I couldn't believe it, It had really happened. She had vision's too, I imagined they were better then my hallucinations.
"When I came to visit, I found out you had befriended a werewolf. He was very protective of you and tried to get me to leave. Then after Ed- uh…someone called we went to Italy and met with the Volturi."
I could see in her eyes she was being careful to pick her words, like she was hinding something from me. So far nothing she said I believed or at least I wouldn't until I got the whole story.
"They told us in order for you to live we had to change you. Carlisle offered but then something else came up and it never happened. We got back to Forks and everything was going good until the bad vampire from before, Victoria came after you for revenge. There was a war with a bunch of good for nothing new born-" She was interrupted by Thomas's snarl. "Sorry, with the new born she made. And she tried to get to you but…the werewolf's stopped her, she was killed. We all were happy until-"
"Alice Enough! I can't handle this anymore! Tell her everything, I don't care if she freaks out! This is absolutely ridiculous the way your telling it!" Rosalie had jumped up and slammed her fist onto the table. Thomas grabbed me and jumped back. Esme was at her side rubbing her back and whispering in her ear. Rosalie turned her attention to me. "EDWARD! DO YOU REMEMBER HIM BELLA?! EVERYTHING WAS ABOUT YOU AND EDWARD!"
I was so shocked and surprised at her sudden out burst towards me, that I hid my face. The name she had yelled at me chimed in my head, tarring apart any composer I had from this whole ordeal.
"Do you mean Edward Anthony Cullen?" The words choked me as I tried to say them. They all stopped what they were doing and looked at me. Her mouth dropped.
"You remember him? Bella, do you remember him?" Carlisle stood-up and came toward me. Thomas pulled me closer; I had forgotten he was even there with me for a second.
"He was in a vision I had. I don't know who he is but he told me his name." I was looking at him, searching for some kind of answer. Rosalie and Esme where back in the chairs and I wiggled out of Thomas arms and took mine again.
"The story Alice told you was true…but not the whole truth." Carlisle began the story from the start again only this time he included this Edward Cullen. And as he got deeper into the story of my human life from when they met me until now, I started to remember some things. Like James trying to kill me in a ballet studio and crashing my motorcycle. When he stopped the story it was very clear that Edward and I had been in love, and that he was still out looking for me or some sign that I was not dead. And then Alice's face became very serious.
"Bella, do you remember how you were changed?" I shook my head.
"I only remember waking up in an ally in New York." She went to open her mouth.
"Alice, that is not your story to tell." Carlisle was not angry but his voice was firm. He looked at me and then Thomas. "Perhaps that is enough for tonight Bella. There is a nice hotel in town you can say at, we've already made you two reservations. Come back tomorrow when we are better prepared. Though I suggest you come alone." Before I knew what was happing, Thomas had me in his arms again and we were running away from Carlisle's house. I didn't even have time to yell in protest. When he stopped I was angry enough to rip him apart, until I looked at his face. My heart ached from the way he was looking at me.
"Bella I couldn't take it anymore. All those things they were saying about you and…I just needed us to get out and get away." I walked to him and pulled myself into his arms. He hugged me tightly and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I know, it was hard for me to believe all the things they were saying. But once things started to come back in my memories, it was hard to deny. I'm so sorry you had to be there for…everything." I was shaking but not from crying. I was scared. I had left so much behind from my human life, my mother and father, and my friends, even the person who I used to love enough to marry.
"Don't apologize please, lets just go back to New York. Please can we leave?" I was surprised by his request. Did he really think I was going to go "home" now? There were still so many things I needed to find out.
"No, I can't do that Thomas. I need to know some things still. I don't even know who changed me or why I was in New York to begin with. That coven seemed so worried and shocked I didn't remember them. It wouldn't be right for me to just leave." He held me at arms length and looked at me, no it was more of a murderous glare. It made me cringe, he had never looked at me like that before. He pulled me to his mouth and roughly kissed me. I couldn't get out of his grasp; even for our kind he was extremely strong. He didn't stop at my lips this time. His kisses moved from my chin to my collarbone and back. Then he pulled me into another hug and ran with me in his arms. I knew he was taking me back.
"STOP THOMAS! STOP RIGHT NOW!" He wasn't listening. The only thing I could do was to fight back. I bit down on his arm as hard I could and he dropped me like a hot rock. Before I had a chance to move he pined me to ground. This was it; he was going to kill me. As he lowered his head to my throat I prepared myself for him to rip it out. My breath caught in chest. To my surprise he didn't bite me; his mouth was to my ear. His lips slowly grazed it over and over again. My breathing was getting heavier as he put his full body weight on me. Then he pulled away and looked into my eyes.
"Bella, I won't lose out to your past. This is me, now and forever. I won't let him have you back. If I meet him or any of the ones you talked with tonight, I'll kill them. I want you so bad; please just say you'll be mine and only mine. Please say you love me." He was between begging and intimidation. I didn't know what to say. He was right, nothing in my past could change the way he felt for me. But I still wasn't sure about the way I felt for him. Before I could answer his lips were on mine again. He moved his hands up my sides lifting my shirt. Anything I wanted to say was lost in the uprising emotion of lust.
I knew it was wrong, everything I had learned just minutes before was telling me to stop. The message wasn't reaching my lips, which kissed his back or my hands, which pulled off his shirt. He moaned against my neck when ran my fingers through his soft hair. And I knew I couldn't fight it anymore. I kissed his chest and his throat as he reached around to un-clip my bra. I opened my eyes to look up at the night sky only it wasn't the night sky I saw.
There standing directly above us was the young man from the ally, his red-brown hair messy from the wind. His eyes were as black as the sky above our heads. The most shocking part of him was his face; it was twisted into a look that could only be described as the deepest of despair. By this time Thomas had my chest bare and he was working on the lower half of my clothes.
The new comer didn't move. He just starred at me in utter disbelieve. I couldn't find my voice but Thomas had seen my face.
"What is it Bella?" He sounded worried.
I still didn't say anything and when he turned around the man was gone. He looked back at me. I only spoke two words.
"Edward Cullen." I knew this time he wasn't an illusion, it had been the real thing.
AHH even though I wrote it the suspense still gets to me. I might not get a chance to write for a couple of days but I promise as soon as Monday rolls around I'll have some new chapters for you! Review please I love hearing from you guys! Also I think I might move this into mature…just to be safe, the content is about to get a little hot! But not to hot...
