Bella struggled with the three, tall, dark, men that attacked her in her living room,
"Let go of me! Let go!"
"Why should we?"
said the tallest. Bella stopped struggling. She just froze. The tallest started at her, looking into her eyes. Bella tried to look away, but she couldn't! She guessed, part of it was fear as well as whatever power this vampire might have had. She figured out they were like Edward, Alice, and the rest of the Cullens, from their eyes. The two others' eyes were the deep black color that Edward's got when he was 'hungry'. But (the one she guessed to be) the leader's were a deep purple. Like none she had ever seen before! But she knew one thing: he wasn't a "vegetarian".
Edward was awoken by someone shaking him aggressively.
"Edward! Edward! Are you okay? Wake up!"
Edward opened his eyes to see Jasper standing over him.
"Edward!"
"Jasper? What are you doing here?"
"Carlisle sent me. He and Esme were worried about you two!"
"Two?"
Edward thought. He must of hit his head or something. But then he remembered what Jasper was talking about.
"Bella!"
he lunged at the door, but when he touched it his hand was burnt.
"Ah!"
he yelped.
"What the-"
Jasper said. Edward started crying again.
"This is all my fault. I should of gone first."
he sobbed
"Edward."
Jasper muttered.
"Come on. You know she wouldn't want you acting like this!"
Edward looked up at Jasper, knowing he was right.
"Now. Let's get you back home."
"No! We have to find her!"
"We will Edward! But you need to come home."
Edward nodded and staggered to his feet, and followed Jasper to the cars. Edward was about to climb into the Volvo, when Jasper said
"Edward. Leave it here. We'll get it later. I'd be a bad brother if I let you drive."
Edward sauntered to the Jeep and they drove home.
The leader began to approach Bella, as his two friends held her tightly by the arms. He wore an evil, clownish, grin, as he moved slowly forward. He put out a hand and touched Bella softly on the shoulder. She shivered. His hand was cold, and it sent a current of energy through her body. She shrugged her shoulder to get him off. Then, in the blink of an eye, he was behind her. He ran his fingers through her hair and whispered into her ear.
"How did someone so beautiful, end up with someone like Edward Cullen?"
"You leave him out of this."
he chuckled
"Oh, we have nothing against your boyfriend, Ms. Swan"
The sound of her name escaping his white lips was enough to make her sick.
"Bella."
"Isabella to you."
"Come now, we both know how much you hate that name."
her eyes widened. How did he now so much about her? How did he know about Edward, or her name? How did he know where she lived? How?
"Now, you have to tell me what you're thinking. I can't read minds you know."
he chuckled again. He nodded his head to his men, and they started dragging her off.
"Hey! Stop! Stop! Now! Stop!"
"Bella! Don't struggle now. You'll make it worse."
Against her will, she stopped.
"That must be his power."
she thought. The two men stopped moving, and the leader disappeared. Bella was suddenly very frightened. Where was he? Then, all of the sudden she felt a piercing pain in her back, as the world went black and she passed out.
