Okay, we're gonna go back to Bella's POV. I think this chapter is gonna be good. Not quite sure what I'll do, I'll just wing it. - Anna

Bella's POV:

I looked at the clock, it was 7. Three hours seemed to go by quickly no matter how miserable I was. I walked downstairs, Charlie was watching a college football game.

"Hey kiddo!" he said. Ever since Edward and I told him about our engagement, he had been so angry. I guess he was trying to cheer up. I wouldn't tell him about the ring yet... even though that would make him even more happier.

"Hey Charlie. Want some dinner?" I asked.

He shook his head. "No thanks, I picked up a burger from on my way home."

"Okay," I said. I walked to the pantry, looking for what I could eat. A can of soup looked pretty inviting. I was too tried to make a big meal. I poured the soup into a bowl and heated it up in the microwave. I pulled it out and hissed, it burned my fingers. I quickly set it down on the table and ate.

It burned the roof of my mouth, but it didn't matter. What mattered anymore? I slurped it down in five minutes flat. That had to be a new record or something.

I headed up the stairs towards my room. I would just go to sleep, there was nothing else to do. I walked in the room and flopped down on my bed. This would become a habit in the making. I heard the wind quicken again. I considered going and gettig Charlie's gun. Edward was pissing me off.

I looked up, expecting Edward. However, there was someone completely different -- Alexandra. My eyes narrowed.

"What do you want?" I asked.

She flashed a brilliant, white smile. "Edward." she said.

I grabbed a pillow. "Keep him."

She sat down in Edward's chair -- I mean my chair. "Bella, it's not that simple."

"It's not that complex, either," I fired back. "You already marked your territory." All over Edward, I thought. "Now all you have to do is take what you claimed."

She laughed. I wanted to slap her. "Bella, if it was that easy, he wouldn't be here anymore. He and I would be living together far away from here."

I flinched. "Why are you here?"

She smiled again. "Bella, Edward and I just had a long conversation. He went on and on about how he loved you and about how I was getting in the way."

I couldn't help but smile. "Oh really?" I asked.

She looked at her perfect fingernails. "Really. However, if you're out of the way, there won't be any Bella to love. It'll just be me."

I stared at her. I slid to the very bacl of my bed so my back was slammed against the backboard.

Her smile never disappeared. "Don't be scared, dying isn't that bad. Being turned into a beautiful vampire is much worse," she wasn't comforting me at all. "Hey, I have an idea. We can make it painless, we can just poison you."

I put one of my feet on the ground; she didn't seen to notice. She just kept thinking of ways to kill me.

My other foot was on the ground now. I made a poor attempt of running towards the door, it was closed. I ran, but she stopped me before I could even make a reach for the doorknob.

"Are you scared?" she asked. This was turning into the James incident all over again. Except this was worse, she didn't want to drink my blood, she just wanted me out of the way.

She pulled me under her arm and jumped out the window. We headed towards the woods...

Oh, those three stupid dots. Terrible cliffhanger, I know. But don't you want to read more??
