The darkness was blinding and the figure was looming towards me, gradually coming out of the shadows. I was frantically trying to remember anything from my self defence class in school but in my panic all I could think of was the knee jerk.
I was trembling, looking for a way to escape but there was only a large cold grey wall behind me and the dark shadow leering towards me, trapping me like a bird in a cage. I slipped out of my ridiculous stilettos that Jessica had made me wear, getting ready to run as fast as I could. The person was getting closer and I could now finally recognise their face watching me from the distance, their face illuminated by the small light overhead.
"Jacob, what are you doing?" I said defiantly, trying not to show my fear and panic that was overwhelming me. However a cold and posinous laugh escaped his chest filling me with dread. He pushed me roungly into the wall and clenched my arms with his large hands.
"You scared?" he whispered into my ear and brushed back some of my hair roughly with his huge fingers. A smirk crossed his face as I shuddered at the dark glint in his brown eyes. There was something there, past the malice and hate, I could see fear brimming over, threatening to spill.
"No." I said loudly and tried to push him away. He grabbed both of my arms and pinned them tightly across the cold wall, scraping them in the process.
"Let me go." I growled and applied more force against him. He just laughed mockingly and pressed his body tightly to mine. The heat radiating off him seeped through my clothes, burning my skin.
"Looks like the little kitten had got spunk." he said sarcastically and then pressed his huge hard lips against mine.
It was now or never.
Once he was distracted I lifted my knee and jerked it as hard as I could into his privates. He groaned loudly and dropped me instantly. I took my chance and started to run towards the car park again. The ground cut at my bare feet so it slowed me down. I didn't turn back to Jacob I just kept pushing onwards.
However I didn't get far when there was a sharp tug on the back of my dress. My head smacked against the unforgiving ground as I fell face first. He then proceeded to drag me back, the sharp stones from the goud scraping against my skin, pain enveloping me everywhere.
"Ahh!" I cried out and lifted my hands to my head to feel a wet substance in my hair.
My worst fears were confirmed when I lifted my hand back down to see the thick red liquid smothering it in large blotches. I felt dizzy but I tried to fight it, this was not a good time to faint.
"You little slut!" Jacob cussed and then lifted me roughly off the ground and pressing me up against the wall, his huge hand locked round my neck and I gasped air in.
He lifted his fist and I flinched before he sunk his fist into my stomach. The wind was knocked out of me and I started to feel consciousness slipping as I slid down the wall weakly. Every part of me was in agony, I could barely think about anything else put the pain which was making me blurry eyed. I didn't understand any of this.
"Why?" I whimpered out pathetically as he picked me up again and he chuckled darkly.
"Bella, you were so easy to fool, you believed that I was that annoying but harmless Jacob Black. That the story about your dearest Edward was actually true and not just rumours circulated by myself. When all I wanted was to get revenge on your boyfriend Cullen." he laughed again and hit me across the face. I felt blood trickle down from my nose and onto my lips and I could taste the blood which made me gag violently.
He lifted his fist up again and I knew this was it, my body was barely coping with its injuries at the moment and this next one was going to send me out.
"Don't you lay another finger on her." I heard a dark voice growl threateningly, that voice was a lifeboat to my sinking ship and I couldn't help but become overwhelmed with relief.
"Edward." I choked out as the tears streaming down my face. Jacob however pulled me off the wall and pressed me against him.
"Well well, Masen, perfect timing as always." he grinned and dropped me to the ground and kicked me roughly. I screamed out in agony as I rolled onto the ground.
My side was burning with pain and I clasped it with my hand, trying to sooth it but I felt no comfort. I rolled round to see Edward watching me, his face twisted with horror.
"I wouldn't come any closer, my foot my accidently slip." he said and I felt the weight of his large boot press against the top of my head, pressing it deeper into the hard ground and causing more blood to spill from my wound.
"Stop!" I screamed out but all it did was made Jacob laugh louder as I withered in pain on the cold ground.
"This is between me and you, Jacob. It's nothing to do with her." Edward said strongly but I could hear his edge of hysteria.
"I told you I'd get you back, she just happens to be your weak spot. You didn't think I'd notice? I thought you were smart Masen. Though snitching to the police was definitely a stupid thing to do. maybe you aren't so clever afterall? Although it worked out perfectly for me. Edward Masen was the woman beater while I was the hero of the day." he laughed loudly and I heard Edward's feet get closer and so did the pressure on my head.
"Ahh no!" I screamed out in pain, the throbbing in the side of my head was increasing rapidly and burning me, implanting itself into my skull.
"You're going to kill her!" shouted Edward in a furious cry, struggling to get near to me.
"No, you're going to kill her and I'll be the innocent bystander who finds her dead by the hand of Edward Masen. Who will they believe, the physco kid who has been following her for months or the family friend? You really should get your alibi's right."
Suddenly the pressure was lifted from my head but I knew it would be back once I glanced up and saw Jacob's foot flying towards my head.
"No!" yelled Edward and suddenly the foot was gone, so was Jacob.
"Edward, Edward." I called out weakly, pushing myself off the ground slowly.
The two of them were rolling on the ground fists flying and bodies being thrown about, I couldn't tell who was winning. I heard Jacob yell out in pain as Edward threw him across the alley, leaving him lying down there. Abruptly Edward was crouched beside me and Jacob was lying in the corner.
"Bella, Bella please tell me you're still awake." Edward whispered his voice strained and anxious.
"Yes." I whispered pressing my hand to his newly cut cheek, he smiled briefly one filled with hope but it was too good to be true, Jacob wouldn't finish without a fight.
There was a loud manic laughter which echoed off the walls of the alley and we both turned to see Jacob getting up off the ground.
Edward wrapped his arms around my waist and lifted me up off the ground gently, he turned to face Jacob, one arm still supporting me.
"Aren't you the perfect couple," he mocked, "She reminds me a bit of Bree you know. It's ironic that it's all happening exactly like last year, same alley way, same night, same situation, same boys. Two differences though, the girl and the fact you won't be leaving alive this time." he hissed the last part through his teeth that were bared now.
Edward's grip tightened round me when Jacob suddenly started to shake furiously.
"I told you that you'd regret ever opening your mouth. I guess you'll have to learn the hard way." he hissed and started to walk towards us, he stumbled slightly and Edward pushed us further back.
"Jacob don't do this again, please! Haven't you hurt enough people!" Edward cried out but it was too late. I pushed my head into Edward's shoulder when suddenly a howl echoed through the silence of the night, shattering any remaining peace.
Edward's muscles clenched and he stood over me protectively. There in front of us was a huge brown wolf, eyes searing with anger, it was like a hurricane ready to destroy everything in its path. I held back a scream and instead clutched tighter to Edward's arm.
Just before it got closer, Edward turned his towards mine and whispered into my ear,
"I love you, never forget that." My eyes welled with tears as I realised of what Jacob was planning to take away from us, our lives and our love.
"Oh God, oh God!" Edward muttered as the wolf went for the dive towards us. Everything went fuzzy then, I found myself being thrown through the air away from the incoming blur of fur while Edward stood in his place.
"EDWARD!" I screamed out in fear and agony, he was engulfed by the blur, thrown back into the wall and I could hear his own screams through the ripping sound, each one tearing me too pieces.
Suddenly there were huge bright white lights that lit the whole alley and what seemed like people flew past me like lightening and the screams abruptly stopped.
"Edward!" I cried out weakly, my vision began to become blurry and the pain in my head was unbearable as well as the pain from my limbs. There were bright lights, shouts and another howl which echoed in my head. It was not one of anger and hate, it was filled with desperation and fear.
"Someone get over here, she's losing a lot of blood!" called a familiar voice but I couldn't place it to a name, my mind was fuzzy and blurry and I was drifting off into blackness. Only one thing was left sailing through my fading thoughts,
Edward, Edward...
