A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update. I know I promised to update sooner but I just couldn't because I got really sick. But be happy its here! Hope you enjoy
This chapter takes place in Bella points of view, it goes back, sorry for the jumping.…. Who is the mystery man? Wink wink
Previously: I was only thinking about Edward and how I would never get to touch him, smell him ever again. A picture of him flashed in front of my eyes, but crumbled away when I hit. I hit hard.
Bella's POV:
I don't remember much after I fell. I hit so hard. The pain was all over. I remember screaming for the pain to stop. It vaguely reminded me of that dreadful day in Phoenix, when a tracker, named James had almost killed me, and in attempt had bitten me. I had screamed for Edward to make the pain go away. I guess the incidents were similar in a twisted way.
The pain was excruciating. I tried to breathe evenly, but every time I tried to take a ragged breath I winced as it felt like daggers went through my side. I could feel the coolness of the night of my bare skin. Maybe it was just the ache, but it seemed like the world was flying through the trees at impossible speeds, no, not flying I realized. I was running through the trees? After a while my body just couldn't take the pain, it was so hard to keep my eyelids from closing, but the pain won that battle. My body went numb and I fainted.
A few hours later
when I woke up, I couldn't see anything, not even the my hand in front of my face.. Everything was black as pitch.
I tried to move but gasped at the pain that shot through my entire body. Geez was I sore. I groaned at the pain.
"Ah! La bellezza di sonno ha svegliarsi! Sleeping beauty has awakened". A voice flowed through the place and echoed off the walls from the corner. Who ever it was was speaking to me in Italian.
I tried to cringe away from the dark voice, but couldn't. Not only did the pain stop me but my wrists were chained up tightly above my head to a rusting old steel gate. The gate was cold and ancient. My feet were tied together with another hard chain. I was going nowhere.
It was really cold where ever this man had taken me. I shivered, and internally thanked myself that I hadn't changed into my pajamas. I would've probably caught pneumonia! I gladly still wore my favorite sweats which with a closer inspection now where already filthy with dirt and spots of blood and had a big tear up one of the legs that extended half way up my leg exposing my calf. I also wore a small blue blouse; the color I knew Edward loved…. The thought of him made moisture star t to fill in my eyes. Threatening to spill. I blinked furiously to hold them back. I didn't want to show weakness in front of this mystery man.
As if hearing the thoughts in my head like I had spoken them out loud the voice spoke again.
"Dearest Isabella, no need to fret"
The figure from the corner started to slowly creep towards me. I couldn't see his features very clearly, only his eyes stood out. Those crimson eyes that had stolen me attacked my in Edward's room. Eyes that had thrown me out of the window like a rag doll, and took me to this dark place!
"What do you want?!" I spat. He continued to come forward until He was mere feet from me. He had a mischievous smirk on his face. I wanted to slap him.
In one quick, fluid motion He closed the distance between where I was bound and him. The man was right in my face. I was terrified, frozen with fear that He was going to kiss me. He had that look in his eyes. But instead He leaned down to the hollow of my throat. I suppressed a whimper that tried to force itself out.
I could feel his cool breath as He inhaled. I just sat there, unable to move, holding my breath. After what seemed like an eternity had passed He leaned back and caught a stray strand of hair that had fallen in my face. He too sniffed that and then tucked it back into place behind my ear. All I did was glare at him. I couldn't do anything to this monster. I knew He could snap my neck with just a tiny twist of his wrist. So I stayed frozen.
"I'm so thirsty, Isabella, and you smell so sweet. I've almost forgotten the taste of something… of someone as sweet as you. You remind me so much of her. Oh that was so long ago!" He whispered menacingly. His eyes blazed with something that I could only say as desire.
I fought against the tremor that rolled through me. He would only be more amused by my terror.
"Who are you?" I stared at this monster hoping it would mask some of my fear.
"Why Isabella, hasn't your little 'Eddie' told you about me?" He sneered
I just shook my head once. I didn't want to speak to this monster and I definitely didn't want to hear him talk about Edward. I tried to turn so I didn't have to face him but the movement made me wince. I hurt so badly. The pain was it shot throughout me. I whimpered. Then I was devoured in cold, painful darkness…
"I'm hurt! Your 'Eddie' and I go way back. You see Isabella Edward and I used to be the best of friends, we were inseparable." He had turned around and stared into the dim lantern hanging on a nail in the wall. He spun around fast.
"Oh! How rude of me! I haven't properly introduced myself. My name is Alexander Garrett- Alex for short."
He had moved too close tome, and was crouched down above me leaning in on his toes.
I tried to twist away but the pain was horrible. It shout all throughout me. It made me wince. I gasped and was devoured in cold, painful darkness
