Bellas POV: Chapter 11
I woke up and shifted slightly, noticing that someone's arm was wrapped around my waist. Looking up I smiled, Edward's eyes gleaming as he smiled back.
"Edward," I said disapprovingly, "Your eyes are black."
"So are yours love."
"Yes but I don't drink blood," I paused, smiling before adding, "Yet."
Edward sighed, looking up at the ceiling before looking back down at me, "Bella, are you happy about your soul becoming damned? At least you have a chance right now."
"Edward I'm already changing everyday, it can't be helped. And my eyes are only black because yours are. Get me with your family and they'll be gold. Stick me outside and they'll be blue. I can't control it."
"Well you'll be able to soon. Trust me." I nodded and stood up, crawling out of his arms.
"I need a human moment," I told him. He chuckled and nodded his head. I ran back to my room and into the bathroom, stripping off my clothes and turning the shower up to as hot as it would go.
I gasped as I stepped in, the scalding hot water hitting my skin and making it turn pink. I quickly washed my hair with my favorite strawberry shampoo and conditioner, rinsing it out and washing my body just as quickly.
I stepped out of the shower, a rush of air clashing with my wet skin. It should have made me feel cold but it didn't.
I dried off, running a brush through my hair and throwing it up into a pony before getting dressed. I stepped out of my bathroom and into my bedroom where Edward was sitting against my head board, waiting expectantly on my bed.
"Bella you need to eat breakfast and go to school. I'll drive you today."
"I'm not hungry," I told him, sitting down in his lap and leaning against his chest. His arms snaked around my waist and he held me there.
"Bella you haven't eaten in 3 days," he said disapprovingly.
"I'm not hungry."
"Alright but you're eating at lunch."
"Yes mother," I teased, rolling my eyes. Edward scowled mockingly and pushed me off his lap, disappearing a second later.
I went downstairs and grabbed my things, once again ignoring the neglected rain slick hanging on the coat rack and running out into the rain.
Edward's car was already waiting in Charlie's usual spot. Charlie had to go to work early today because some kids vandalized someone's house or something like that.
I got into the passenger's side, closing the door soundlessly behind me. Edward flashed me a smile and we were off. The trees whizzed past in green and brown blurs, threatening to give me headache.
We pulled into the school parking lot and I started to feel a small tickling at the back of my throat. I brushed it off, grabbing my stuff and kissing Edward before getting out. People still didn't know we were in love, and hopefully they wouldn't find out. If they did we would be the talk of the school.
"See you in biology?" I asked, looking at Edward expectantly. He nodded, smiling once more before joining his family to their classes.
I walked to English and sat down, ignoring everything the teacher said to the class seeing as I was absorbing it all any way. By time the bell rang I had accomplished nothing in class and no one knew.
"Bella," Mike called. I turned around to face him and he walked up to me, "Can I speak to you for a minute?"
I nodded, the tickling feeling in my throat coming back. I could feel myself growing tired and wondered why that was. It was like hadn't slept in a week, making me feel weak and tired.
I followed Mike to the edge of the school campus, right outside the woods. "What do you want Mike? I'm missing biology."
"I want this," he whispered quietly. Suddenly I was pinned against a tree and Mike's lips were pressed against mine. I struggled to get him off me but could feel my strength quickly failing. He pressed against me harder, shoving my mouth open with his lips.
His hands trailed down to my shirt and he started to unbutton it. I shook my head, trying to free myself from him. He grabbed my hair and pulled me away from the tree, pushing us farther back into the forest. I could feel tears cascading down my cheeks now as he finished unbuttoning my shirt. He didn't take it off me, just left it hanging there.
I used my free hand to beat against his chest, my strength little more than a child's now. He pulled his lips away from mine for a spilt second to grab my hand, giving me the chance to yell out.
"Edward!" I screamed, my voice hoarse. Mike hissed and cover my mouth with his hand. I bit down on it and he gasped in pain, pulling it away.
"Edward! EDWA-" Mike pressed his lips against mine forcefully, pushing me against another tree. This time he pinning my arms down at my sides, pressing close and leaving me with no means to shout. Without Edward there wasn't even a glimmer of hope of me escaping.
Suddenly Mike was thrown off me. I fell to my knees, my whole body weak from the effort I had put up against Mike. I looked up and saw Edward towering over him, kicking him randomly. I heard several ribs crack and winced as Mike howled in pain. Edward growled at him, kicking him once again.
"Stay away from Bella," he growled, accentuating each word he said with a kick to Mike's ribs. Mike nodded, standing up and gasping from the pain. He ran off, out of the forest and back to the school campus.
"Are you ok?" Edward asked, suddenly beside me. He pulled me onto his lap and kissed my hair as I sobbed into his shoulder.
"Shhhh, Bella it's ok," He cooed into my ear while rocking me back and forth. I nodded, wiping my eyes and looking up at him. "Edward, my throat feels weird," I told him. He looked at me questioningly so I continued, "It… Tickles." Edward scowled and stood up, leading me into the forest a little bit more.
He sniffed the air and Scooped me into his arms, running as fast as he could. He stopped in a small clearing and I saw a deer grazing on some grass. Edward had been so quiet that it hadn't noticed us yet and my breath hitched. I didn't want to disturb it. The scene was so serene.
Edward stepped into the clearing and walked right up to the deer. It looked up at us and then returned to it's grassy snack. Edward hit it on the head and I gasped as it collapsed where it was. It was still alive, I could see it's chest rising and falling, just barley hear it's heart beat.
"What'd you do that for?" I asked Edward, my voice clearly saying how ticked I was.
"Well it has to stay alive for you to drink," he said matter-of-factly. My mouth fell open and I glanced back down at the deer, only now realizing how good it smelled.
Edward set me down on my feet and I started to back away, afraid of what I might do to the deer. Edward grabbed my wrist and held me there, looking at me softly in understanding.
"Bella love," he said to me softly, "You need to feed. You're almost full vampire now and your diet is changing." I nodded my head and took a step forward, trusting Edward to keep me in check.
