I am not scared of the things in the woods, I told my self, not afraid at all. The worst they can do is take my life, but that would not be that bad. I felt like crying but I just could not cry any more. I need Edward in my life again. I have friends, Jessica, Angela, Mike, Tyler, and Eric. They are just too friendly and too in my business. I could not talk to them about these problems, of how badly I wanted to be like Edward to be in his arms for forever.
I realized that I was walking faster and faster following the path. I found the familiar fallen tree that I sat on before. I slowed my pace and sat on the tree. I started thinking again, different thoughts rummaging through my head. When I heard something moving behind me. I turned around and saw someone move behind a tree. He was fast but not fast enough. I saw that it was a boy about my age, he was not that much taller then I and had black hair and wearing black cloths.
"Edward?" I said without thinking. I wanted it to be Edward so badly. Wanting him to be secretly watching me, making sure I was staying safe. There was no answer. I got up and cautiously walked over to the tree. My heart was racing, thinking about all the things that were not Edward that could be behind that tree. Or maybe there was something worse, a hungry vampire, hunting.
I finally got close enough to realize that it was not Edward but far enough away where I could run. I started running hoping I could get away and he would leave me alone. Running as fast as I could with my cast on. I started breathing harder and harder, hoping, and praying I would not fall on my face. I could hear him running after me now. His heavy footsteps stomping on the ground behind me, like thunder with each step. I know that he is not a vampire, he would have caught me by now, I thought to myself. And if I was a vampire by now I could have just run away in a blink of an eye, like Edward. Oh, Edward I miss him so much, why did he leave me. I was forgetting all about the mysterious boy running behind me. I heard his footsteps getting even closer. I should scream, but will anyone hear me?
Then nothing. Everything went black and I heard a loud snapping sound. Then everything came back, just as fast as it went away. I sat up looking for the boy that was chasing me. Where was he? I saw that I had tripped over a tree root, obviously sticking out of the ground. What caused the loud snapping noise? Was it my head hitting the ground? I looked down inspecting myself to make sure nothing was broken or bleeding, since the boy is nowhere in sight. Oh no, my cast broke. My cast snapped right in half. The boy that was chasing me suddenly appeared at the bottom of my feet. He stared to laugh. I looked him over, his skin was not close to pail, and it looked like he had been tanning. He could not have gotten that tan lying outside in Forks. He has green cat like eyes and slouched shoulders, very short black hair, black fingernails, a tight black fleece shirt, and tight black leather pants. Fleece and leather, not the things to wearing now, even though it rains all the time it is still too hot to be wearing those articles of clothing. Out of nowhere Edward picked me up.
"Close your eyes!" Edward demanded, with a crazed look in his eyes. "Close your eyes!" He demanded again. I closed my eyes and felt the air flowing past my body. I know Edward is running, but where is he taking me? I felt him put me down. I slowly opened my eyes. We were in my room. His eyes were wide and a color that I had never seen them before, red.
"I will be right back." He said and again in a blink of an eye was gone. I sat up in my bed and walked over to the window that looked over to the woods. It was raining really hard now; all I can hear is the loud raindrops on the roof. I looked down at the clock on my desk; it read 3:00 p.m. I had to start thinking about what Charlie and me were going to have for dinner tonight. Maybe we could have steak and mashed potatoes. Yeah, that sounds good. I hopped down to the kitchen, since I had no more cast, and realized that Charlie had left me a note. All it said was that Charlie would be home around 5:30 and went fishing. I looked in the fridge to see if we had everything I needed to make steak and mashed potatoes. I turned around from the fridge and Edward was sitting in the chair smiling at me.
"What?" I asked, getting mad.
"You always end up getting yourself into some kind trouble, don't you?" Edward asked still with his wide grin on. I wanted to be happy and run right over to him and have him hold me. But I can't, he left me for so long and comes back and thinks that everything will be ok. How long have I waited for Edward to come back, how happy I thought I was going to be? I am not happy, but I want to be really badly. I could tell Edward was starting to get frustrated. Probably with me.
"Are you mad at me?" Edward asked while taking away is wholesome grin. I stood there, still with the refrigerator door open, thinking about how I should answer his question. I thought for a long time, or what seemed for a long time. I had my answer. I realized the fridge door was open and it was cooler in the kitchen. I could tell Edward was getting more and more impatient with me every longer second I took to think about my answer.
"Well," I stumbled out, not really knowing what to say. "Yes, yes I am made at you for leaving me and yes I am made at you for not turning me." I realized I was starting to yell.
"I am sorry Bella for leaving you, but you have to understand I can't turn you into a vampire. I just can't." Edward said. I saw him starting to get up out of the kitchen chair.
"Don't you go anywhere mister." I said not wanting him to go. Edward tried not to smile, but another smile crept on to his face. "Please Edward, don't go."
"I won't" He started to walk over to me. He reached out his hands and I grabbed around his wrists and drew him closer to me. He rapped his hands around my waist and my hands slid up his arms. He leaned closer to me and right before, I knew we were going to kiss. The phone rang. I wanted him to kiss me and pretend like the phone was not ringing. But he pulled away and looked at me like, aren't you going to answer that?
I walked the short distance to the phone and picked it up. "Hello." It was only Charlie saying there was a big accident over the bridge and they were all going to stay at a hotel in the neighboring town, so don't wait up for him. There was no way of Charlie getting home tonight. Perfect, I thought, I whole night for Edward an and I to catch up on everything.
