Still don't own, if I did I would give everyone on fanfic rights to the books.
Bella
I turned to see one of them following.
I rushed across the road, and through a deserted alley, coming to another empty street.
I glanced back, he was still following me.
I rushed across this road, and walked quickly along the sidewalk. I glanced back and saw him retreat back into the alley we had just emerged from. Why had he stopped pursuing me?
"Halley!" I felt like I had been hit with crucio. Wait, with what?
I turned and saw someone I actually recognized.
"Siren!" I was so surprised to see her. "What-"
But she didn't give me time to think.
"It's alright Halley," she told me. "We're here to bring you home."
"Home-" Again, I couldn't finish, but this time I wasn't interrupted by Siren.
"Yes," he smiled at me. He was deathly frightening. "Home."
He creeped me out. Siren frowned at him. Then winked at me.
"I was under cover last time, you know, with the war going on," she laughed.
"What war?" I was confused.
"You don't have to pretend not to remember anymore," she smiled, then took me by my arm. "After all, we work for the same side, the Dark Lord's."
She had leaned in close, whispering the last part in my ear. She laughed before continuing to pull me along. I saw the rest of the men that had been with the man who had been chasing me-who I apparently knew.
"Halley!" they greeted me with the same strange accent as Siren and the man.
The surrounded me, clapping me on the back, greeting me. Smiling at me.
I should have been happy, enjoying seeing people that I apparently knew.
But I wasn't. I was terrified. I was terrified by Siren and these strange men.
"Good job Greyback," I heard one of them tell the man that had followed me. I only heard the faint murmur of his reply.
"NO!"
I turned to see him. It was the same person, who looked like Edward.
He waved his arms, trying to say something.
Siren laughed. "Be gone ghost."
She waved her hand at him, and he started fading rapidly.
"Run Halley!" he managed to say. "Get away from them!"
"Too late," I heard Greyback growl as he vanished.
"You can have her for desert," Siren smiled at Greyback.
I turned and tried to bolt-only to have the other men grab my arms and spin me around. I stared in horror as Greyback licked his lips.
"Who's afraid of the big bad wolf," Siren sang under her breath, obviously enjoying herself.
"Now, now," I looked up into Carol's face, her accent leaking throughout the facade. "Why on earth are you running little girl?"
"Where's Renee?" I asked, panic flooding through me.
She waved her hand, dismissively. "She's fine, but you have no idea who I am? Do you?"
"You're Carol," I said, as Siren made a buzzer noise.
"You mean you don't remember your old teacher? Chrissy?" she mocked. "Now, now, don't you forget about me."
...
I couldn't believe it. Actually, I couldn't understand it. Had they just been lying to me the entire time?
"I always enjoy little Potters," Greyback walked slowly up to me, where I was being held captive. He was obviously enjoying my useless attempts to wrestle free. "Do you know what I am?"
He had reached me. He grabbed hold of my chin with his disgustingly dirty fingers, forcing me to look at him.
"Do you?" he asked again. Then laughed. "Of course not, little Potter doesn't remember."
I heard the others laugh, Siren's bell like laugh standing out like a knife through weak fabric.
He leaned so close to my face, I could smell his rancid breath. "I'm a werewolf."
He grabbed the back of my head. Pulling my hair so hard it brought tears to my eyes without actually tearing my hair out.
"You know," his horrible breath was blowing in my face. "I've always admired your hair."
He forced my lips against his, and I bit his lip. Hard.
"You don't want to start the biting," he wiped the blood off his bottom lip with the back of his hand. "After all, death is better than my bite."
He laughed, then, suddenly, he just wasn't there anymore.
I looked over, and saw something that made my heart skip a beat.
Edward had him pinned to the ground, his head a good few feet into the ground. Edward leapt gracefully to his feet, leaving Greyback's body on the ground, dead or unconscious.
"Let her go," he snarled. I should have been frightened-he had just taken down a man who was a werewolf and was scary as hell. But, I was only relieved.
Their hands tightened in response, then, Edward was gone. And so was the man on my left.
I blinked, Edward was in front of me now. Mere inches away.
He glared at the man, who only smiled.
"She's your mate then?" he smiled at Edward. "Well, then. This should be interesting."
And he leapt. Next thing I knew he had Edward pinned to the brick side of a building.
I saw the others run, before vanishing suddenly, so that there was only Greyback's body, the man that had been on my left (though I think he was actually dead), Edward, the man who had him pinned, and myself.
I watched in horror as he bashed Edward's head into the wall repeatitly.
"No!" I heard myself scream. He looked over his shoulder at me, only to have Edward throw him over the building behind me.
I was in Edward's arms then, with him running. I felt a sudden jerk and tumbled to the ground. I heard glass shatter just before glass rained down around me. The man grabbed me, only to be thrown clear through a brick wall.
Everything flashed before my eyes, I got onto my knees, only to throw up.
"Bella," I whipped my mouth with the back of my hand, felt his cool hands against my face.
I looked up at him, just before he kissed me. I didn't bite him, but I kissed him back.
He ended the kiss, leaning his forehead against mine for a brief second.
"I love you," I heard him whisper. Then he was gone.
I stood, looking for him.
"Oh, god," I lifted a bloody hand to my lips. "Oh, god no."
I had broken the promise I had made to Cedric, just before he died.
