CONTINUING…


The sounds going on around me were nothing like I had ever heard before. There was a loud crash that sounded almost like lightning, followed by the deep sound of boulders clashing against rocks that pounded through my heart. I was momentarily dazed from my near kiss with Edward that it took me a seemingly long moment to open my eyes to see what was going on.

I opened them to see Edward shoving a giant wolf like creature away from his body. A strangled gasp escaped my lips, as I pushed myself off the ground to stand up, fear overrided my system disallowing me from screaming.

The giant beast circled Edward, who was standing to the right of the clearing in a crouched position. I took this time to analyze the beast.

This wolf creature had to be the most terrifying thing I had ever seen in my life. The large jaws were clamped together tight and its lips tugged up revealing sharp teeth. The shaggy fur was a reddish brown and it was absolutely huge.

I was unsure whether this was reality or my imagination.

It felt too real to be my imagination. The creature in front me was not something I could just make up. And each of the roars and loud clashes pounded through my heart and the hair on my neck was tingling with fear.

I didn't get much time to see the thing any more clearly. A snarl escaped from its lips as it pounced in Edward's direction, too quick for me to see well.

I tried screaming but nothing would come out. I just stared at the scene wide eyed, unsure of what to do.

Edward had moved to the side before the creature attacked him, and before my eyes could focus on the beast. It recovered from its attack and surprised Edward with a quick strike to the face. Edward stumbled backwards but the blast seemed to have left him otherwise unaffected. In a flash his leg was in the air and hitting the wolf in the chest creating a massive boom. The creature flew backwards before falling to the ground hard.

Edward was by my side before I could blink, holding my face tightly in his ice cold hands.

"Bella are you alright?" His voice was tight, harsh. His eyes were penetrating and pitch black with anger, but he didn't frighten me. I was frightened for Edward, and for myself. I knew at this moment Edward was not human. No human could take this kind of beating and give it back just as hard to a beast 4 times his size.

"Edward what the hell is go –"

I didn't finish my question because Edward had pushed me back slightly away from him. I looked over his shoulder to see the thing approaching us with incredible speed. Edward – invisible with impossible speed – twisted backward and caught the unsuspecting creature by the leg. They were so close to me, I could smell the wolf's breath and feel its warmth. Edward's knuckles became visible and I realized that he was squeezing tightly on its arm. The wolf growled loudly and I covered my ears with my hand to block out the sound. I watched its head lower to look Edward in the face anger definitely apparent on the horrible creatures face.

The wolf leapt at Edward but they were too close to leave me untouched. A crushing blow struck my side and I felt myself flying backward, I then heard a crunch as my head bashed against a nearby tree. Searing pain shot through my side, up my spine and right through my head. I was too stunned to scream out, I couldn't even breathe. The knock had winded me and dark spots were beginning to cloud my vision. I felt warm liquid trickle down the side of my face and the smell of rust and salt made me nauseous.

A ferocious growl sounded, that would've chilled my bones and frozen me to my core had I been fully aware of what was going on. Through the long tunnels my eyes had become, I saw a dark shape fly through the air and land on another. Just before my eyes closed and I lost consciousness, I heard an angry ripping sound followed by the screams of a man. And I had one final thought. Edward.

A/N: Oh no. Will Bella be okay? Will Edward? What about the beast?

Some of phrases and expressions I used from the three books. So if they sound familiar that's because they are.

I decided to be mean and write a small chapter, since all my others are pretty big. I promise that I have already finished ¾ of the next chapter so it will be up by tomorrow. Not gonna give anything away, you shall have to wait till then.

Until tomorrow…You may Review… xx
