"Edward? Why are we at the field?" Bella questions, leaning forward in her seat.
"Well it's a nice day out, and since we technically can't get to our meadow before sunset, I thought this would be the perfect substitute. Just some us time." I smile, taking her hand in mine.
"Well, I will never turn down alone time with you." She winks at me, bringing her hand up to my face, we both lean in, or lips locking.
I am the first to back away, grinning as I unlock the door and chuckle under my breath.
"You know, I think you may have a slight sex addiction." I joke, jogging around to her side before she can open the door herself.
"I do not. I just love being able to show you I love you. Actions speak louder the words, Edward." She reminds me, following me around to the boot of the Jeep.
"Is that so? Then my proposal must have been a pretty big declaration of love." I ponder, grabbing the large blanket.
"Hmm, I'd say it was up there with the sex." She answers, managing to keep a straight face.
"I can't say I'm surprised...or that I disagree." I joke, taking Bella's hand in mine and looking around for a patch of short grass that isn't wet.
Once we found the spot, I fan out the large blanket, placing it down for her. It's not quite as beautiful or rural as the meadow, but it will suffice.
"Well isn't this cosy." We hear behind us.
The bell like voice isn't recognisable to me. It turns the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end, as I listen to Bella's gasp of fear. I clutch her hand in mine, my jaw tightening. Turning around I see the fiery mane of curly hair, matching her blood thirsty eyes. Her skin shining a thousand shards for glistening diamonds. For the first time as a human, I see a vampire for what they really are -a monster- what I always believed I was.
"What do you want Victoria?" I grit out between my teeth, pushing Bella slightly behind my back.
She glares towards me, a sinister smirk on her face. I can tell from the way her blood red eyes swarm she is hungry, and with the way my heart is thumping, I wouldn't be surprised if I was her main target for a snack.
"What anyone wants when they lose the one they love in an unjust way. Revenge." She says simply, beginning to take small patterned steps around us.
"What happened to James was his own fault, he was going to kill Bella." I point out, Bella clinging onto my arm, as we follow her every step.
"Yet he died instead, and your pathetic human got to live." She snarls. "Though I did plan to come here and rip your mates heart out, my plans have changed. Your heart is beating now Edward, I don't know how but what better revenge then to kill the killer himself, and leave poor Bella to suffer her miserable human life without you." She grins.
Only know do I realize she has been circling us like prey, waiting for the perfect opportunity to pounce.
