"Now that wasn't very nice now was it Bella?" Dr. Stine asked, walking towards me. I tried to stand but twisted my ankle when I came out of the vent; so I settled with crawling.
"You let our vampire escape. That wasn't nice at all. That was very bad." he said, walking towards me still.
"You keeping him here like that was the thing that was bad." I said, trying to seem unafraid. That wasn't an easy task since I was desperately trying to drag myself away from him.
"Well that is your opinion on the matter." he said, his voice becoming scary as he reached into his pocket. "Bella. You could have been a little girl forever without a care in the world. All you had to do was make the vampire talk but you let him go. You let our chance of everlasting life go. Our chance for immortality." Dr. Stine pulled his hand out of his pocket, holding a object to his side in such a way that I couldn't see what it was.
"Now Bella." He continued. "What we are doing here. No one knows. No one would have allowed us. And no one must know. So…" he moved his had forward in my direction, making it so it was now possible for me to see the gun. "We have to tie up loose ends."
I felt my heart skip a beat. This is it; I though to myself. I'm happy that Marcus was at least able to escape. I shut my eyes, ready for whatever was coming to me. I heard a small click and then… Nothing.
I opened my eyes to see Dr. Stine was gone. I looked quickly behind me, trying to find him. But he was nowhere.
I suddenly heard a loud thud and turned back around. Dr. Stine's neck was at a weird angle, his lifeless eyes staring at me in shock. Holy crow!
"Bella." I heard a voice behind me. I gave a small squeak and whipped around.
"Marcus!" I yelled, happy to see him. I moaned in horror when I saw his left arm. The skin was terribly burned. And it was all my fault. "I'm so sorry Marcus!" I cried.
"Shh." he said, patting my back. "It's not your fault. You were trying to help me. I'm completely grateful to you Bella."
"R- really?" I asked, surprised he was grateful even though I burned his arm.
"Yes, and we can discuss it more later. Right now we need to get somewhere safe. Somewhere where I can't be seen."
I thought for a moment. ""The River View". It's a small cliff over looking the river. It's pretty much hidden by trees."
"That will do." he said, lifting my up in his arms. "Close your eyes and hang on, okay?"
"Okay." I said, clutching the arm that wasn't burned. I suddenly felt a "hard wind" hit my face. if Marcus wasn't holding me I might have flown off. It suddenly stopped.
"Is this it?" Marcus asked. I slowly opened my eyes and saw we were at "The River View". That was fast. Very fast.
"Yes." I managed to choke out. Marcus put me down, carefully, overlooking the river. You couldn't see the road or anything from behind the trees. "Are you okay Marcus?" I asked. He didn't answer. "Marcus?" I looked at him and saw he was glaring at some of the trees. "What is it?"
I stared at the trees and saw what he saw.
Marcus POV
Meyer jumped from the tree, glaring at Bella.
How dare he come here? After he kidnapped Bella from her home. After putting a knife to Bella's face. After trying to hurt Bella; he has the nerve to come at here and glare at her like that!
He pulled the knife from his pocket and charged at Bella.
"Don't you dare!" I grabbed his arm, breaking it, making he drop the knife. The sound of his arm breaking made a sickening crack. I heard Bella behind us scream. I looked around to make sure she was okay. She was staring at Meyer's arm in horror.
Meyer jerked around so that he was on Bella's side. He kicked backwards.
"No!" I yelled as Bella, went flying into the river.
