2 1/2 months without updating. I think that's a personal record.
I realy like this story but everytime I write a chapter it reminds me of something that happened in one of my other stories and I don't want that so... here's your chapter, a lil' late.
xXxXxXx
Previously...
"What took you so long?" She asked after our lips parted from eachother. I chuckled at her reaction. "I've been waiting all night..." she lifted my arm to look at my watch. "And most of the morning for you to do that."
"Yeah Lover," a whiney voice sounded behind me. Bella stiffened my arms. I didn't have to look to see who had joined us. "What took you so long?"
I rotated my body keeping myself in between the her and Bella. Her firey expression matched her vibrant hair.
xXxXx
"Edward?" Bella asked me hesitantly. I tried to hide her body behind mine as best I could without causing her alarm. Victoria envisioned several different ways to kill Bella, all of which made my stomach turn.
"Edward. Come here." Victoria demanded, an air of confidence that I would comply to her demands. I smirked before I felt my limbs moving of their own accord toward her. I heard Bella trembling against the chain rail of the bridge she was on.
"Hold up a sec, Bella." I tried to assure her that I'd be right back.
"How'd you do that?" I hissed my question to Victoria as I came to a halt in front of her.
I'm your sire baby. I can make you do anything I want. She licked her lips and tugged at the bottom of my shirt lifting up to the end of her toes until she came to my chin.
"Why didn't you force me to stay with you before, then?"
"What fun would that have been?" She asked playfully. "I'd prefer you have free will but..." Tossing a glance back at Bella her playful demeanor turned into a glower. "Would you kiss me?"
"No." I answered automatically. I knew if I concentrated hard enough I'd be able to resist her.
"Edward," she sighed, "Kiss me." There was no hint of asking in her voice. It was a demand, and I obeyed. She tasted like and ashtray with a hint of death; a little blood may have lingered on her tongue. I pushed her away as fast as my body would allow.
I lied. That was fun. She looked pointedly over my shoulder.
"You've got to be kidding me!!" Bella let out a frustrated shriek behind me.
"Wait, Bella. I can explain--" I started.
"One rule. One stupid rule and I break it. No boys. Ever..." she started mumbling to herself as she started down the bright yellow slide beside her. "-- A cute guy with amazing eyes that you think 'gets you' comes along and you forsake your one and only rule. " I would have thought the fact she talked to herself was cute if it hadn't been me she was talking about.
"Bella, please. I really can explain." I tried to put a reassuring hand on her shoulder but she pulled just outside my reach.
"This oughtta be good." Her furious expression did not make my odds look good.
"I...I'm...She..." I stuttered. We're vampires, though I wasn't when I met you a few days back and I'm still learning the ropes. I just found out that I have to do everything my sire says which happens to be Victoria... oh and I REALLY want to eat you but think I may be in love with you so have ruled that out as an option. For some reason I didn't think that explanation would work.
She slapped me across the cheek, hard. I didn't feel anything until I saw that she was in pain from doing it. The palm of her hand became an angry red color and her wrist looked dislocated, judging from the swelling it was at least sprained. Tears made her eyes glossy and each one that fell was another sting to my soul.
Holding her arm gingerly in front of her body she sobbed. "You made me think I meant something."
"Bella, I--"
"No. I don't want to hear it anymore. Now if you'll excuse me; I think I need to go to the hospital." I tried to stop her but she skirted away again.
"At least let me take you. My father, he..."
"I'll go see Carlisle by myself, thanks." She finished leaving me stunned. "That's how your sister and I met... at the hospital."
"Bella, please." I pleaded again. Desperation leaked into my voice.
"Have a nice life, Edward."
I watched her back as she walked away from me. When she was passing through the small opening in the chain link fence I took notice of the red head beside me. "That sucks." Victoria chided, watching Bella's retreating figure. She hooked her slender, repulsive arm around my shoulder.
"Now. Where were we?"
There are so many different vampire fables to work with, a lot of them contridicting the others. I thought adding this one would be a cool twist.
I'll update soon. Please REVIEW!!
Now Bella has been pissed off twice and has only known Edward a few days. How will he ever earn her trust? Save her life maybe... that oughtta do it.
