The Shadows

by paralighter4ever

Drabble form. Mass attacks are made around Seattle by these dark creatures called Shadows. They feed off of light, happiness, and joy and suck them out of their victims, leaving them emotionless. And now they're after Bella. But she doesn't know why or how. Because she doesn't know how powerful she is. Can the Cullens help her discover her true power while protecting their city?

21. Chapter 21

Previously…

"Yeah, so many times. It was the last book my dad bought me before…" A tear fell on the Mockingjay on the book cover, and I shoved it back in its slot.

"Bella?"

I looked up at Edward with teary eyes, and he tentatively wiped one away. He cupped my cheek and looked deeply into my eyes.

I was the first to look down and pull his hand away, but I didn't let go.

"I can't. I just can't…" I trailed off.

I heard him sigh and he brought me closer to his chest. I felt my tears soak his shirt, but he didn't seem to care.

"I'm so sorry. For everything." He mumbled in my hair.

I nodded, a huge lump in my throat. "It's ok," I whispered, gripping his shirt.

A/N: So I haven't been keeping my promise of updating daily. Sorry. Will keep trying though! Just please keep reading! :)
