Sinking Terror

A/N: This story will be finished in four more chapters then I'll put up a epilogue. Yes, I know this story is extremely short but you guys get the point of the story. This is probably the second to last chapter. I think this one will be long.

I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a month. I didn't do well on my report card so I am having trouble with that. And also there is some drama at my school that apparently has to involve me. I also deleted two of my stories because it was just too much. By the way guys I have this twilit related story of fiction press. It doesn't really involve vampires, but werewolves. I got it from a dream I had recently.

Sorry again for the wait. I really appreciate your guys support. I don't think that was proper grammer but that's okay.

Chapter 8: Complications

I never slept last night. Too much was on my mind. How would you be able to sleep when you knew that you were going to probably die from a horrible death!

There was so much stress. I couldn't take it. What was I going to do? What were we going to do?

My heart beat erratically against my rib cage. Why was I just pacing around a room, if a persons bedroom was being flooded this very second.

The grandfather clock tolled four. I've pacing for two hours.

Oh god. Oh dear lord. This shouldn't be happening. How could such a thing happen?!

My aching legs finally stopped them selves and slid into a wicker chair.

What do I do? what do I do? What do we do?

A sudden crash awoken me from my thinking.

The whole Cullen clan was by my door. They're beautiful faces paralyzed by fear and strain.

I bet my face looked even worse compared to there's, but I was no beauty either.

I felt something warm trickle down my, face. The trickles turned to waterfalls, and soon my voice cracked and I began to sob.

I felt cold arms encircle my waist. Edward murmured comforting words into my ear. His voice like honey, enticing.

I hiced as he looked down at me with his grief stricken eyes.

"Edward!" I sobbed into his shirt. I don't know what you would have done in this kind of situation, but all I did was cry. What more could I do?

I was absolutely useless.

"It's going to be alright." he soothed.

I trembled against his body. My lips quivered my eyes blurry. I felt as if we were going to die this very second!

But what better is it to die in a few hours. There barely is a difference. You were still going to die.

I clenched my hand, my knuckles turning white. I feared for myself, for everyone, and more importantly the Cullen's.

They brang joy into my life, including Rosalie. I know she hates me, but I don't have a bit of hatred for her.

She wasn't as close to me as Alice. Of course she isn't as close to me as Alice! I cant have a proper conversation with her without it ending in a insult!

Everybody was going to be gone.

"What are we going to do…?" I asked in a strained voice.

Edward sighed, and ran his hand through his copper colored hair.

"The rest of us and going to run or swim across the ocean."

Wait, run? Did I just hear that correctly?

"Run?" I said voicing my thoughts.

"We run very fast remember? We can defy buoyancy."(okay if that is wrong, I'm sorry. Edward should sound smart. Im not smart so..um.. Yeah.. Ahhaha…)

"Oh yeah. You can do anything, remember." it sounded like a question .

He smiled a bit and carried me to the bed, and laid me down. I felt the impact of the soft silk hit my bare skin.

He inhaled deeply and sighed.

"Must you smell so good?" he asked laughing a bit.

"I don't control my scent."

"Ah yes you do."

He twirled a piece of my chocolate brown hair around his finger, smelling it.

"Like strawberries." he smiled. I gave him a small grin as I leaned forward to hug him. He reciprocated the action and hugged me with twice as much as strength.

I heard a small knock on the door way, and turned my head toward that direction. Alice leaned on the frame of the door, with a sad smile on her face.

"I haven't seen anything for the last four hours, Edward. We're not going to get a hint of anything."

He cursed and clenched his right hand, his left was in my hand.

I looked at him with a grim line on my lips.

This was bad. Very bad. Nothing?

"Nothing?" he said. And he said he didn't know how to read my thoughts!

"Nothing." Here high soprano voice echoed through the eerie room.

"We have to think of something, Alice."

"I know."

I think she said something in her mind now, and he nodded.

"I have to go for a while." he said to me reluctantly.

I wanted to plead. NO NO! Don't leave me! Please…

But I couldn't. I bit my lip and nodded like a good dog.

He got up and kissed me chastely on the lips and turned to the door, glancing once as he closed it, leaving with alive.

I was alone. I closed my eyes and sighed. I fell into complete darkness. I began to dream, and as soon as the images appeared I knew this was no fairy tale.

People cluttered the deck, reaching desperately for the life boats. But as they struggled even more the life boats seemed to move farther and farther away.

I felt like I was trapped in a murder. But this.. This was no murder. It was mass killing.

I hollered for help, but I was caged in a room, with no light, no body, nothing.

"Some one!Edward!!!" I yelled. I heard people scream and yell ouside of this room, but no one heard me.

I was just a faint voice in the sea of screaming.

"Somebody…" I murmured looking down into my hands.

Why wasn't I crying, why wasn't I yelling, persisting?

Was I that hopeless?

Someone shook my shoulders, furiously.

"Bella! Bella!" a familiar voice yelled to me.

I groggily opened my eyes to meet a pair of agonized eyes.

"It was only a dream." he told me. I was shaken, tears covered my damp cheeks and a sheen of sweat on my forehead.

I let out a strangled sigh, as he enveloped me into a bone crushing hug.

"Your okay." he murmured into my hair. I checked around my room frantically for the clock that once stood next to my desk.

"What time is it."

"9:37"

"Oh god. Oh god, Edward. It sinks at 1..." I screamed.

"I know." he hissed. I was frightened, frightened at his tone of voice. He never spoke in such a way. I feared him, and I feared for him as well.

But my love could not fear him. I stood up and ran to collide with his body. I wrapped my arms around his cold shoulders.

I could feel the couture's of his muscles.

His hands encircled my waist and he pulled me over to his right side.

"We're going to my room for a few minutes, al right?"

I nodded my head as he guided us toward his suite.

The hallways were furnished with expensive furniture, and walls covered with beautiful hand painted walls.

All of this was going to be gone.

We stood in front of his door as he slid the key thought the hole. Grasping the door handle firmly he pushed open the door revealing the whole Cullen clan in a mist of tension.

"3 hours, 34 minutes Edward." Carlisle said sternly.

"So far this is the plan." Said Alice.

"Jasper and Rose are going to Carpathia first, then followed by Emmet and Esme. Edward, Carlisle, Bella will follow."

They were going to run. I shuddered with fear.

This isn't fair. I said in my head. What about all these people! I nearly screeched out loud.

Alice suddenly blanked out, momentarily.

Edward saw it, most likely, because his hold on me tightened and his muscles tensed.

"What's wrong?" Esme asked. Maternally.

"More complications, another vampire is on board, and he feeds off humans." said Alice.

Carlisle narrowed his eyes. His hands that were comfortably at his sides turned to fists.

I trembled and felt as if I was shrinking.

"May I ex..cuse.. Myself?"

"yes, you may." Carlisle said politely. Carlisle sent a message to Edward, telepathically. He nodded as we steered out of the room and out onto the deck.

The cold air brisk.

Today was the last day I was able to do anything.

We stood out here for a few minutes until I heard the faint sound of foot steps.

Edward stiffened.

This was not good.
