Chapter 10

(Bella's POV)

I don't how this date could have possibly gotten any worse, but it did. I mean, I get it if you want to kill me, but did you had to destroy my new phone? I just bought it today! Take my life, but not my phone…ok, I take that back, that was a bad thing to say, especially when you are staring death in the face.

It's kind of stupid how I got into this situation. I was finally starting to enjoy myself at the carnival with Edward, Alice, and Emmett. The date was going better than I had ever expected. Edward and I ended up having a lot in common.

So then me, being the genius that I am, had to wander around trying to look for signal. And then somehow along the way, I walked into the woods in my attempt to get more bars in my phone. Worse, didn't I pay attention to where I was heading and got lost. I'm such an idiot!

Save the pity party for later. We've got to think of something!

Didn't you see how fast he got here? Clearly, I can't outrun him.

Let me think of something

What am I supposed to do?

Buy time.

"So, why do you want to kill me? What have I ever done to you? I don't even know you!" I said.

My soon to be killer just laughed. "I'm helping a friend. He's been looking around for you everywhere. I'm not supposed to touch you, but you smell so delicious". He said.

I gulped. "Well, did you have to destroy my phone? If that was a scary tactic, you could have just done the fast running thing again."

His hands were suddenly on my neck. I could feel his finger going up and down. "So you really don't know? I assumed you knew what the boy is."

That was really confusing. Great! Not only I'm going to die but first I'm being tortured with riddles.

"Either explain yourself, or leave me alone" I said, trying to sound brave.

He took one long look at me. "Can't you guess it Bella?"

Now, he knows my name? This just gets weirder by the second. "I won't ask how you know my name, but I think it's only fair that I know yours."

"You want to know my name?" he asked.

"I wouldn't have asked otherwise."

He removed his hand off my throat, walked a step away from me and took a little bow.

"My name is Laurent," he said.

Have you thought of something? I'm running out of topics for conversation.

The only thing I can think of is running.

I thought we had established that.

Still, try it! NOW!

I don't think he had finished introducing himself when I suddenly turned around and started running; at least that was my intention. I hadn't taken but two steps by the time he was already in front of me.

"That was really very rude of you, Bella," he said before he slapped me. I wasn't expecting the strength of the hit to be much, but it sent me straight to the ground. He grabbed me by my jacket's collar.

"Do I have to teach you manners before killing you?" he asked.

"What are you?" I couldn't control my voice, so the question came out almost as a scream.

He moved closer and whispered in my ear; "Vampire".

I hadn't have time to process the word before I felt an impact coming from the side. Whatever it was, it made Laurent let go of me and sent me straight to the ground once again.

I was a bit disoriented at first, but it was the sound of a growl that made me look up. Edward and Emmett were in front of Laurent. Every time Laurent tried to run, Emmett would block him. Then, out of nowhere, Alice came in and ripped Laurent's head off.

Run Bella Run!

I can't…

MOVE NOW!!

I wanted to, but it seemed as if my brain and my legs weren't connecting. This had to be a dream, this couldn't be happening; but I just couldn't move.

Stop being such a pathetic little girl. I mean it Bella, run!

It was like something inside me snapped. Like my internal voice somehow had slapped me. I glanced over to the fight; Emmett was holding something and throwing it into a pile. It took me a minute to realize that it was Laurent's arm.

"Emma?" Alice said. I jumped, in a blink of an eye she was right next to me. "Are you ok?" I nodded.

"Did he hurt you?" I shook my head.

"We need a lighter," Emmett yelled.

Alice reached into my pocket and threw Emmett my lighter.

"Emma, everything is going to be ok. Please don't be scared." Alice continued.

"He broke…" I started saying. Edward was at my side in an instant.

"What? Emma, please tell me, where does it hurt?" he was almost pleading.

I pouted. "He broke my phone." I pointed at the broken pieces.

He sighed. Alice let out a small giggle. "That's all he broke?" he asked.

"Well, I'll probably get a bruised where he slapped me and my ego is shattered" I said, leaning on Alice. "Take me home?" I pleaded.

They looked at each other. "You're not scared?" Emmett asked, handing me my lighter.

I shook my head. "But after today, I'm going to need a mental health day" I answered.

"But he told you. We heard him say it" Emmett said.

I stood up at once. "What else did you hear?" I asked, a little panicked.

"Not much, Bella," Edward said.

I froze. "I guess we both have things to explain." He continued.

"What did you call me?" I asked.

"Bella. That's the name he called you, wasn't it? Who are you?" Edward said.

"What are you?" There was no way I was going to answer first.

"I asked first," he replied.

"My question is more important," I fired back.

Alice and Emmett were watching our little exchange, their heads moving back and forth as if they were watching a tennis match.

"Why are you asking? He told you."

"I want to hear it from you," I said.

He took a deep breath. "I'm a vampire," he said.

What now? The voice in my head asked.

We take it from here.
