My dear fish the next chapter with love, thanks for reviews, you know just a moment of your time makes my day. Oh by the way, the poem at the end isn't mine is called Invictus by William something or other, but it's my favourite poem, it gives me shivers every time.
Bella's POV
I truly thought that that moment would be my last, that the sharp intake of breath that burnt my lungs would never be repeated. The vampire's eyes flashed jet black but there was something else fuelling his actions. I could see into his eyes and it was like looking into his heart, he was scared so afraid of what this would mean. I was begging him in my head to lower his arm to save me, to keep my fragile heart beating.
He shot though me like ice, my life was in his hands, but it was entwined with his own, we were balanced poised on the edge of a blade ready to fall of either side. Shall we dance little one his once again honey eyes seemed to ask mockingly, as he lowered his arm. He was shaking, like myself, so scared of the future that was blossoming across a blank page like ink flowering on dry parchment.
And then, just like that he was gone, like a whisper on the wind calling my name. Echoing though my head, "Bella, Bella". I could feel him pulling me after him, like invisible strings attracting me to him. "No take me with you." Ilonged to call. I knew he would be my downfall, he was dangerous, a monster, but so incredibly beautiful and he had a spirit I felt I'd known all me life, lost, helpless. So far away from my own world but yet exactly the same.
My lungs burnt as I breathed in, though I hadn't even realised I'd been holding my breath. I felt so alone, but there was no-one to blame but myself. Jacob was gone, my family was gone, even the hone eyed vampire was gone. Strangely though it felt like there had been a fire opened within my one that filled the gaping hole in m chest. Smoothing the rough edges telling me everything would be all right though my head told me we were doomed to die.
I was brought back to earth when the person behind me bumped into me, and I hurriedly continued my circuit, like nothing had ever happened. It was not later when I was lying awake in bed, it hit me. He was my ticket out of hear h was my escape. If he would not help me escape then I would make him.
They say that if you close your eyes the world doesn't cease to exist. But it does, the velvet blackness overtakes you, you lose sense of who you are in the darkness, of what you've done.
Edwards POV
I needed confirmation; I needed to know if I had been dreaming. If that scent was real, though the knowledge it might be it scared me. Knowing this insignificant little girl would ruin me. So I went back, wise it may not have been but no-one could have guessed it would have such a terrible outcome. That I would fall in love.
There she was just the same as before, her deep brown eyes that seemed impossibly old, her flushed cheeks, and the freesia scent of her pounding heart as it filled my head. Just as I remembered. I'm ashamed to say it, but I nearly killed her, I lifted my arm, it would have been so easy to call that guard over, to claim her as my own.
When I looked into those wide, child like eyes though something in me broke. It was like she could read my mind although infuriatingly her own remained elusive. The scent still burnt my parched throat, but there was something I could do. I could pretend just for a moment- a lifetime- that we were together, that I wasn't a monster, she was my freedom, my escape.
I left before I could do more damage. But she weighed heavily on my mind. Even when I closed my eyes waiting for the whole world to dissolve around me she was there. Staring into my heart. Yes I thought, we truly are opposite sides of the same coin.
