BPOV

I could feel the mossy ground, wet beneath my fingers. My eyelids were heavy, I was frustrated that couldn't pull them open, when suddenly realization switched my mind into overdrive. I raised my hand slowly from the ground, it was shaking uncontrollably as I felt my neck, there was no wound, no warm blood, no rusty scent. I frowned at myself not understanding where the pain was coming from. I started to realize there were voices speaking somewhere near me and I tried to focus on what they were saying but my head was throbbing, a never ending bass beat drowning out everything else. I forced my eyes open, blinking as the light startled them, but I didn't need to focus to know who was crouching on the ground in front of me, his topaz eyes boring into mine, he smiled when he realized I was conscious,

"We have to stop meeting like this Miss Swan"

I tried to laugh but my head didn't approve of the movement, I turned my head slowly surveying my surroundings; I was slumped against a tree about 5ft from the roadside the ferns around me had been flattened and as I focused on the road a few feet ahead I realized the black car was gone, Emmett and the blonde boy were hovering at the edge of the forest staring at me with curious eyes.

I wanted to ask what had happened by I couldn't speak; I just stared around in a daze trying to piece together what had happened.

"Bella? Look at me."

My eyes dragged themselves to his but I couldn't focus, one word kept replaying in my mind; Vampire. I had thought it was some strange slang when Emmett said it but….. Jaspers eyes, as black as onyx so unnatural. Edwards voice echoed in my thoughts like some distant memory,

"I'm taking you to the hospital, come on"

I notice him hold out his hand as he straightened up, I just stared at it not comprehending,

"Bella…take my hand"

I lifted my heavy arm from the dirt and grasped his hand wrapping my fingers around his marble palm, his skin was like ice, as pale as death. It flashed in my mind again, the unbelievable: Vampire. I stumbled to my feet: my head taking a moment to catch up to where my body was. Everything began to come back into focus as Edward Cullen pulled me gently along, I twisted my fingers around Edwards hand, I surreptitiously found his wrist and placing my index finger on it, waited for a pulse to prove me wrong, to prove my sanity.

But it never came, Edward Cullen was dead.

Suddenly my legs felt weak and nausea washed over me, his empty vein under my finger lay dormant. I pulled my hand back as we reached the road, breaking his soft grip, he spun round looking at me with surprise in his eyes,

"What's wrong? Is it your head?!" I swallowed, frowning, glancing round at the two boys standing uncomfortably just behind him, they were pale, beautiful and terrifying; how could they be anything else, how could this be happening!!

"It's you", I mumbled, edging towards my truck,

"Pardon?"

"It's you", I repeated numbly, louder this time, his brow creased over his anxious dazzling eyes,

"What did I do?"

I shook my head slowly, I didn't want to understand, I didn't want to admit it even in my mind,

"Bella you hit your head pretty hard, we'll go to the hospital now, okay? We'll get you checked out."

He walked towards me, talking to me like I was I child, my eyes widened I could feel shock take over as I stumbled backwards to my truck,

"Bella? What's going on?"

"You tell me!!"

"What are you talking about?!"

"Who were those men?!", he cast his eyes to the ground avoiding my gaze,

"That's complicated…"

"I know its complicated Edward!!! That was made abundantly clear when your complication put a GUN to my throat!!!"

His eyes flashed back to mine,

"I will kill them for that", his intensity frightened me,

"KILL THEM?!! You're 17!!! ……. I mean...who are you Edward?!" His jaw tightened, his expression froze, and his velvet voice was apprehensive,

"…. you know who I am"

"But I don't, I'm not from your world. Where I come from there aren't a lot of kidnappings or murders!!!!"

"Bella please listen…"

"…. I don't think I want to Edward", I said quietly running my fingertips along my flaking paintwork, blindly searching for the handle.

"It's not safe now, they know your face, they'll find you and they won't hesitate to use you"

I struggled to keep my breathing steady as I pulled the heavy truck door open,

"I think I'll take my chances…."

I muttered as I climbed into the cab,

"…. at least they're still human",

I saw Edwards eyes widen as I slammed my door hurriedly revving the truck to life and pressing down the locks, as I sped away I saw Edward punching a dent in the side of the gigantic black jeep, Emmett was pushing him back, trying to calm him down and the blonde haired one was watching after me, I met his eyes in the mirror and I suddenly felt scared, genuinely terrified, so I reacted the only way I knew how; I shifted gear, slammed my foot on the gas and I ran.

Reviews of it so far pleaseeee J I'm not entirely happy with this chap but I can't pinpoint why!! Any thoughts?

I think perhaps the next chapter should be Edwards POV, whatdya think?!
