Wow I was quick. It is amazing about how fast I can type when I am inspired.

Thank you to everyone who left songs for me, I found songs that would help for later chapters and other stories :D So thankyou loads for that.

The song that inspired me for the chapter was Escape- By Enrique Iglesias.

So this chapter is dedicated to kungfukitty2006 who suggested the song to me :D

But everyone gets a cookie and I did listen to every single song as well :D

Enjoy the chapter

Edwards POV

We were finally approaching LA, and Bella had been quiet for the rest of the journey. Probably moping about the will still. But we had all been surprised( Jasper, Emmett and I) that Bella hadn't tried any more attempted escapes.

The only problem now, was how we were going to be able to convince her that staying with us was best. She really didn't know how much danger she was in. But then again she must be scared out of her wits.

I glanced over at her to see that she was looking at me as well. When she saw me looking at her she blushed and looked out of the window again.

Fighting a smile, I looked away. I knew that I needed to keep my emotions under better control, because I think that deep down I knew it.

I was falling for Isabella Swan.

But of course she hates me and would never love me back. Me who took her from her family against her will. Me who had drugged her countless of times and me who was always determined to follow her wherever she ran to.

The other night when we had to share that bed in the motel, I felt kind of thrilled that I would be that close to her for a long period of time, and also when she woke up screaming later in the night, I was happy that I was the one to comfort her. Not anybody else.

But maybe if she got to know the real me.....

No I still doubt it.

I sighed and looked out of the window at the streets of central LA. I didn't like living here that much, it was too hot and sunny, it was hard to hide anything here.

I stole another glance at Bella, and she was staring out the window with a look of awe on her face. I guess she hadn't really had a chance to appreciate LA when she was here before.

Emmett pulled up outside the apartment building at which we all lived in, Bella froze and when she turned back around she looked scared. Of course she had no reason to be scared, but I didn't know what she knew yet, and pieces of it were bound to be missing, so I did what I thought best and took her hand in mine. She looked down at them in shock, but instead of pulling away like I expected her too, she grasped mine firmly and I gave her a reassuring smile and I received a shaky one in response.

I opened my door and climbed out followed by Bella who never let go of my hand once.

Bellas POV

Edward and I walked into the apartment block in silence. Every now and then Edward would give me a reassuring squeeze of the hand which made me feel a tiny bit better. The ride in the elevator was silent and when we reached the right floor the doors opened into a luxury room.

I hadn't seen this room the last time I was here so I assumed that this was one of those big apartments that the rich people live in.

Edward pulled me over to a leather sofa and made me sit down next to him. I let go of his hand and twisted mine together in my lap nervously.

Why was I still here? I kept asking myself. I could have tried to escape another few times, but my plan I made earlier seemed better right now.

Emmett and Jasper walked out the room and a few minutes later Carlisle entered and when he saw Edward and I sitting besides each other on the sofa he smiled.

" Bella." Carlisle said relief evident in his voice. I didn't say anything. After all I had nothing to say.

Carlisle walked over to us and sat on the sofa opposite. Edward had taken my right hand again and was rubbing soothing circles on the back of it with his thumb.

" So, I guess that we should first of all get you enrolled in a school ." Carlisle said.

" What?" Edward said sharply as though he didn't understand what Carlisle said even though I heard him loud and clear. I just chose not to reply.

" Well Edward." Carlisle sighed. " She has missed so much school already, I would rather that she didn't miss anymore."

" You can't let her go out to school unprotected. There are people out there who are trying to kill her." Edward near enough growled.

" She won't be unprotected. You will be with her." Carlisle stated. And even though I didn't mind Edward holding my hand, I would rather that I had no one follow me around all the time. I could look after myself.

I think. But as I thought about how many times I had been close to death lately, I shivered.

" Bella you have nothing to be scared of here." Carlisle said frowning a little.

" Don't I?" My voice came out barely above a whisper.

Carlisle smiled. " No, Edward and the others will take care of you here in LA. You really shouldn't be worried."

" That wasn't what I meant." I said my voice coming out stronger now. But Carlisles forehead crumpled in confusion.

" What do you mean?"

I didn't know how to say what I knew about him, so I thought that it would be better to tell him the truth.

" I read those documents in your desk." Besides me Edward froze and Carlisle sighed and rubbed his fingers over his temples closing his eyes in the process. Eventually Carlisle looked up at me, pain showing in his face.

" Bella." He whispered. " You have no idea about how bad I feel every single day about that. I need to make it up somehow. And taking care of you, would somehow mend part of the guilt." His voice sounded painful and I could not deny that he really did repent for what happened years ago, but that didn't stop the anger that flooded through me.

" I DON'T WANT TO LIVE HERE WITH YOU! WITH ALL OF YOU MURDERES, KIDNAPPERS AND GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE! I JUST WANT TO GO HOME!" I screamed and tore my hand from Edwards and ran down the long corridor with all the doors. Luckily the door to the bathroom was open and I ran inside, locking the door behind me.

I could hear footsteps in the corridor after me and heard them pause outside the door.

" Bella?" A voice whispered, I knew it instantly, it was Edwards.

I held my breath and didn't answer.

Another set of footsteps came and paused next to Edwards.

" Just give her time." Carlisle muttered and both of them left leaving me alone.

I crumpled to the floor and began crying and clutching my hair.

What had I gotten myself into?

Rosalies POV

It was really late now, and I was walking home after a shopping trip with myself. For once Alice didn't want to come with me, she just claimed she was busy and Leah was visiting family so of course I had to go on my own.

It was exhausting shopping on your own, and though I managed to find some jeans that I actually likes and a few tops and shoes, I felt miserable.

My boyfriend Emmett was chasing after Bella Swan, even though I was excited to meet her, I wish she would stop running so that I would actually be able to spend some alone time with Emmett.

I was about another twenty minute walk away by now and I was never more happy to get back to Carlisles apartment and just have a hot chocolate. I smiled at the thought.

Jasper ( My twin) and I, had been living with Carlisle for two years now. Ever since our parents one day packed up and left without us. We had known Carlisle for years as Alice ( His daughter) was one of my best friends and Emmett ( One of Carlisles sons) was one of Jaspers best friends. Carlisle very kindly had taken us in and treated us like we were his own.

He was the best father I had ever had and known.

I decided that I would take a short cut though some alleyways to make the rest of my journey shorter. I was always advised to stay out of these, but what could going through there once do?

There was really no harm. Was there?

There weren't any street lamps here so I walked fast, wanting to get out as soon as possible.

I walked passed another alleyway down here and didn't see the person lurking in it.

I only went a few steps when a hand shot out and covered my mouth. I dropped my bag and the hand muffling my screams.

I was pushed to the ground and I saw my attacker. He had dark hair and his skin was of the olive complexion. When he saw how frightened I was his face twisted into a sneer and barked a bitter laugh.

Twisted Bastard.

I began crying then as he climbed on top of me, his weight holding me down. He stuffed a rag in my mouth so that my screams were still muffled.

His dirty hands roamed my body. He was much stronger than I was so that my efforts of kicking and punching him were in vain.

When he was done he got off of me and zipped up his jeans leaving me feeling dirty, broken and ashamed in the street.


I started a Leah Story!! I have wanted to do this for absolutely ages but I never found the inspiration to start one.

It is called We Cry and here is an extract from it.

The book I held in my hands, tells my own story of how I became the way I was now. I had been writing in this ever since my heart was broken, ever since my whole future had been lost, through the times when my only escape from this place turned out to be a fluke a joke a betrayal. This black leather bound book had been through everything with me, it carried all of my thoughts, feelings, pain.

Everything.

I hoped somebody had a chance to read it, if it wasn't so true, I was sure it would make a pretty good book.

I placed it besides me and I stood up letting the salty wind air blow strands of my short hair around my face.

I breathed the fresh air in one last time.

In the distance I could hear wolves howling, I only knew it was a matter of seconds before they arrived, and I had been banking on at least another ten minutes, Seth must've gotten home earlier than i had accounted for.

I didn't care about leaving him behind, as far as I was concerned he had gone over to the dark side. Everyone had.

I smiled into the darkness, you couldn't even see the moon or stars tonight.

A new moon, a new start.

I closed my eyes and walked forward into nothingness.

My name is Leah Clearwater, and this is my story of pain, tears, betrayal and loneliness.

Isn't life just great?

Please read it. It half follows Leahs story, but i have edited alot and new things happen and unexpected things as well. So pleas give it a go because I know that Leah storys aren't that popular. But I LOVE them :D
