RAVEN POV
"Hmm, Ooh! I got one! ok, ready? Sit, roll over, jump, attack, play dead! wait... ok ready? set... GO!" I laughed as I watched Leah do exactly what I said, in the exact order.
"Good girl Leah!!" I pushed her over and she barked as I rubbed her belly. She jumped up from under my arm and gave me a big, slobbery kiss right on my face.
I pretended to fall over so she would come "rescue me". She lept off the couch and attempted to pull me back up by grabbing the end of my shirt in her mouth and yanking.
So, I pretended she was actually strong enough to pull me up.
I laughed hard when she started running in circles, happy she succeeded.
But my laughing stopped when I heard the front door open and slam close. Then immediately, it re-opened and slammed back closed again, harder.
I went up to my window and saw that human girl- Bella, I think it is- pressed up against her volvo, and Ren was towering over her.
I cracked open my window enough so I could hear him. He was telling her his story, but the whole time, he was glaring at her darkly.
He better not make her run away again or im going to kick his little butt into next week.
Yes, I did hate humans (for reasons similar to Ren) but I do understand now, that not all humans are the same. Well at least, Bella isn't like the humans I truly despise.
I have been watching her discreetly and intently and I realize that she is very considerate, shy and kind. I want her to stay because I feel that she will be able to help me come out of my "exile" and she might be able to help me get used to being around humans. With her, I will be able to come out of my room and join my family.
Maybe, just maybe, we might become friends somewhat.
My thoughts were interrupted by Ren's voice booming throughout the front yard.
"I hate you!!!! okay?!! Now get away from me, from us!! JUST GO!!!!" He screamed in her face, causing her to cringe back and whimper.
He turned and left. Tears began to spill freely down her cheek and under her chin. She shuddered and looked directly up at me. More tears fell down.
She quickly looked away and literally threw herself into the car. I watched as she revved the engine hard and drive off fast.
He made her run away, now i'm going to kick his butt into next week.
I told Leah to stay before I ran down the stairs and came face-to-face with him.
I gave him my coldest glares and clanched my fists.
"Whaa-" He bage, but I cut him off abruptly.
"Ren... How... how COULD YOU!?!?" He was going to pay.
"What?! I scared her off so you and I could finally have some peace and relaxation in our own HOUSE!!" He screamed back at me, clearly frustrated and very confused.
I sighed and sat down, on the stairs. He did the same.
"Ren..." I said calmly, "I understand your hate for humans, remember the massacre? I stopped it, I stopped you. I dislike humans for simialar reasons to you, and yes, I hated Bella the first time I met her. But, after she stayed with us for a while, I realized that she doesn't act at all like the humans I despise. In fact, she's quiet the opposite. I've locked myself in my room because everytime I'm around her, my memories of that day come back to haunt me. I don't want to be reminded of that. I'm working on that though. I really want to get to know her because I feel that she can help me get over my hate for humans. With her, I can teach myself to get used to being around humans. I know, that sounds selfish of me, but it's the truth."
I gave him a tender, sisterly hug before I whispered into his ear, "Please, see my way. See what I mean. Understand me when I say she's not like the humans who were responsible for what became of us. Get her back... for me."
I hated saying the "for me" part because I knew that he loved and cared for me very very much. He understands that I don't want another lover in my life because of that day. But he still holds on to me dearly, as his sister. I knew he would do what I asked of him if I did what I just did. Something just told me that I have to have Bella in my life. For some reason.
He sighed and said, "For you." He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before rushing out the door.
BELLA POV
I was racing down the street, asphalt kicking up everywhere, making a little dust cloud.
Tears were pouring down my face and I kept wiping them away so they wouldn't block my vision.
Why me? Why am I always the one with the broken heart? Everywhere I go, my heart gets broken! Why can't I just go somewhere that will allow my heart to be happy?! But how could I stay away? I can't leave Alyssa or John. But, how could I go back? Raven hates me and won't be near me, and Ren want's to kill me! Why can't Ren understand that I'm not like those murderous thugs that were in his life? I'm the complete opposite!
I just... cant think anymore! I have no where to go. I don't know what to do, I JUST DON'T KNOW!
I pulled over and let my emotions flow freely through my body. My body racked as I clutched myself and broke down into a million tears. God! The tears just keep on coming don't they?
My vision blurred up completely so I shut my eyes closed tightly. Why am I so weak? I should be strong!
I quieted my sobs after a while and when they finally stopped, I wiped my face on my shirt because my entire face was wet.
I heard a noise, like rustling leaves... except, there was no wind. I got out of the car and looked around. I turned around and...
I gasped loudly
Oh. My. God.
Fear crept up to my face as I just stared, when I should have been in the car by now, driving off. But of course, I'm not that smart.
I'm going to die, like this, with a broken heart. This can't be! No, no no no no!!! It's...
I was going to stop here, but... I thought you people would be pissed because it is short, very short. So!!! I'm not stopping it here!! =3
Its... him. The man who broke my heart the most. The champion in the game called: Who can break Bella's heart the most?
My Ex-Fiance.
Edward.
"No.." I said, pleading for this to be all just a horrible nightmare.
"You!" He said accusingly and jabbing his index ginger towards me, "You, left me!! Do you know how big of a mistake you've just made?! I warned you love, I warned you I would find you!! But still you ran. That hurts. You think your getting off the hook easily? No, Hell NOO!! Your going to pay for what you've done! It was very hard getting past Alice, she saw what I would do, yet she just sat on the sidelines and let me do it! Now who's been betrayed! I have been running all over for 5 days! 5 days love!! I threw away everything about who I used to be and threw me being a vegetarian out the door!! I now realize what I have been missing. You humans just taste soo good, but... Your the one I desire. Your blood has always been calling to me and now I'm going to answer it and feast on it, feast on you!!!"
"Who are you?! Your not the man I fell in love with!!! Your someone else COMPLETELY!! Your eyes! They don't dazzle me anymore... they scare me! They're blood red! WHO ARE YOU?!" I screamed
He gave me a twisted smile, making me cringe back.
"I'm Edward, love."
"Please! Please just leave me alone!!! I'm the one with the broken heart, Not YOU!! You dont even HAVE a heart!!!"
He pretented to wince. "Ouch love. That hurt!"
Tears fell down on my cheek again. "Please" I whispered, pleading him to go.
"Sorry love. Your not going anywhere."
I took a step back, but just as I did that, Edward lept off the ground and slammed me onto the ground. He pinned my thrashing arms up above my head with one of his iron-grip hands. I tried to kick at him, but his heavy weight didn't allow me. I could barely breathe with him on me. "Stop.." I gasped, "Please.."
He took his other hand, and using one of his nails, he carved a line on my right cheek. I gasped as I felt the hot blood spill. He took a deep breathe in and his eyes became dark.
"Intoxicating." He whispered fiercely.
He moved his hand to my arm. I gave out a little scream and winced as he carved another, longer, line down my arm. He then took an even deeper breathe in and gave another twisted smile.
"Can't resist... the urge... any longer." He smiled again, darkly, and slowly bent his face down inot my neck.
I screamed as I felt his cool lips brush against my neck. He laughed. before kissing my neck again.
No, please God, No!
Please...
I felt the touch of his teeth against my neck then, putting a slight pressure on my neck, but not enough to puncture it.
Before he was able to bite down, his weight suddenly dissapeared from me.
I took a deep breathe in, now that his heavy weight was no longer cutting of my body's circulation.
It was right then that I heard a loud crash, trees falling down, and cussing, all at once.
I looked up, confused and saw that Edward was the one who was slammed into the trees. But... by who??
I glanced around and saw... Ren.
He looked at me and his eyes widened when he saw my cuts.
He cussed and turned towards Edward.
Edward was staring straight at me.
"It's not over Bella, not yet. It will only be over when all the blood from your weak, worthless body has been sucked out. By ME!" He laughed, seriously, like a psycho, before turning and running into the deep woods.
I quickly got up and rushed to the car, ignoring the pain in my arm and on my cheek.
Ren caught up to me though and whirled me around so I was facing him.
I stared at him, confused and hurt... again.
He looked straight at me, so deep like he could see all the way into my soul... He didn't look mean, he looked... almost caring
"Why?" I asked.
"Why what?" He had on a confused expression.
"Why did you throw Edward off from me? I thought you wanted me dead! You should've just let him kill me!!"
He sighed and shook his head.
"Well?" I asked
He didn't say anything. Instead, he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close, hugging me.
I gave a little gasp, I was shocked and suprised that Mr. Jerk here would do this.
After a few moments, I slowly put my arms around his waist and returned the hug.
Why was he doing this? Is he bipolar? A minute ago he was screaming at me "I hate you!" and threatning me! Ugh, Im sooooo confused. Hmm.. His hug felt really nice though, Mmm.
No! Stop Bella! I can't actually be falling for him, not after my fiance went psycho and wants to devour me.
He dipped his head down so his face was level with mine (yes, im unfortunately shorter than him) and whispered, "I'm sorry."
"I-I don't understand." I was beyond confused now, "A minute ago you were screaming at my face saying that you hated me and threatning me not to ever come back! And now... now your apologizing?"
He nodded his face "Yes. I shouldn't have done that. I hate humans with a passion but... but Raven told me something that made me realize that your not like those people who killed my family. She told me she's been discreetly watching you and you are nothing like them. She woke me up and made me realize what I was doing. You see, she stopped my massacre and ever since then, I have been leaning on her and trusting her with everything. She makes me realizes things that I'm doing wrong and this was one of things. I am sorry. Please, come back..." He sighed, "Please?"
Okayyy... that was acually... sweet. Wow.
Well, I have no where else to go and I want to see how long his sweetness will last.
I gave a little nod, "Okay."
He smiled then, a kind smile that light up his face. Even his blue eyes.
Oh yeah, that reminds me.
I took one hand off his waist and gently touched under his right eye. He didn't flinch or jerk away this time.
'Why are your eyes blue, icy blue, and not golden?" I asked.
"Simple." He said, "When I was growing up, I had crystal blue eyes and well, I wanted to stick with it. I feel more like myself when I can look at my reflection and see the human me."
"Oh." was all I said.
He released me from his embrace and strode towards the car.
"We should be getting back now. Alyssa and John will be back soon and..." He looked at my scars, "I need to clean up your cuts from him."
The way he said "him" sounded like he actually hated Edward for what he did to me. Maybe Ren does care?
He opened the passenger door and I silently got in.
He was in the drivers seat in a flash and was soon speeding off towards what I felt like I could now call Home.
Awsome, I know. Hmm.. I wonder... could this possibly be turning in to a Bella/Ren??? I dont know! -winks- hehe
