Disclaimer: Thanks for all that reviewed..here is the second chapter of the story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight for heaven's sake!
Just when I was pacing to the door, I stop and whirled around. I knew—I knew someone, something was watching me. Eventhough I'm a klutz but my sense is still sharp, my sixth sense. No sign of someone stalking me. Yeah right, sixth sense. Nonsense!
"Come out wherever you are! I know you're there!" I shouted at the air.
I guess I watched too much horror movies until I'm in one too. I look around the neighborhood, cleared. But something was different—I change the direction of my gaze to the pavement—a letter on the ground. Instantly, I picked it up and read.
To: Isabella
Isabella Swan, you may think that it's all over, but I warn you, it is only the beginning.
I will be watching you.
Crap! I crumpled the piece of paper in my fist and threw it at the dustbin.
As soon as I placed my foot in, the phone rang
Must be EdwardI walk to the kitchen and grabbed the phone
"Hello?" I tried to sound calm.
3 seconds over
5 seconds over
No answer.
"Hello?" I repeated,but this time in a slightly higher tone. "Is that you Edward? This is not the time to play jokes."
Wait. Edward doesn't play prank calls on me, I know it very well.
I heard a laugh, an evil one.
"I will be waiting for you. A place that is eerie, spooky and is to be your home soon. Where corpse lay." It is a man's voice, very deep and frightening.
I couldn't speak, I was shaking like a leaf. I stared at the phone and slammed the receiver hard.
Crazy man!I stared at the window, brooding about the conversation. Just a sentence had caused enough fear.
Eerie, creepy, corpse? Did he meant cemetery?
"Ridiculous!" I shouted. There is no way I'm going to that dumb creepy place!
As the hours passed, I spent time pacing around the room with heavy sigh.
The more I think about it, the more it urges me to go there. What's wrong with me!
Wait, what if that person wanted to inform me something? Nonsense! There is nothing to warn about. Yes, there is. Like what Edward said—the Jewstons.
Alright! I've made a decision. After all, there is no point sitting here doodling! It is time for Detective Swan investigation.
I slid into the driver's seat and put the key into the ignition.
"Which cemetery? Well, I'll just try my luck on the nearest one then." I whispered to my own.
The cemetery came to view as I drove nearer and nearer.
"This is it." I murmured.
Nothing made a sound, not a bird, not an insect, I am wrapped in a strange silence.
Dark clouds were massing overhead. I went over to the little gate set in a wall behind the trees. Gently pushed it open and step through.
I felt cold thread of fear tighten around my heart. Headstones and tombs were around me. Long grasses whispered against my leg and the air was chill.
I glanced around—
No sign of a person here.
The first drops of rain splashed against the old gravestones. I raced to a shelter that was situated at the right side, not far though.
Soon, the rain swept in, blanketing the dismal landscape with a sheet of gray.
The air here is chalky surrounded with mist.
"What a stupid idea to come here by myself!" I muttered loudly.
"I'm glad you came Isabella Swan." A voice deep and enchanting sounded from behind—a voice I heard over the phone at home.
Edwards POVI sat on the couch, thinking of a solution to the Jewstons sisters. But what I cared most is for my Bella. Better check on her for safety assurance.
I hit Bella's number.
Rang once, twice, triple.
No one answered the call. She should be at home. Why do she always made me anxious about her!
Before I could rush to my car, Alice approached me, with a sad look on it.
"Tell me is isn't about Bella."
Alice studied the floor, "I'm afraid so."
God! She is always a magnet to troubles. Tell me, nothing's wrong with her. Please.
I shook Alice's shoulders, "Where is she? What have you saw?" I demanded, barely able to control my fear and anger.
I studied her mind, visions of Bella appeared, she was at the cemetery, conscious and she was talking to someone—someone that is really familiar. Then, the visions ended.
"That's all Edward, is she in danger or not?" She looked worried.
I grabbed her hand and hurried to my Volvo.
I drove at vampire speed. Thoughts began to fill my mind. Why did she go there for? Too many questions forming. Fear and anger began to grip me. I smacked the steering wheel in frustration.
"Edward, you got to calm down, maybe she went there to visit an old friend?" Alice broke the silence between us.
"You don't know how important she is to me! Every place that she steps may cause her danger!" I blurted out.
"Turn right, my instinct says so." She instructed.
"I can smell her scent Alice." I snapped.
I gave a quick and fast parking.
The air around was damp and murky. A very unpleasant feeling washed me through. I look over to Alice, she wasn't pleased at the place too. Did Bella lost her mind? Did she know that this place is a cemetery?
I motioned Alice to come over to the gates leading to the cemetery.
Bella's POV
I whirled around, there was no sign of a person here. The dark clouds covered the place, making the whole cemetery appear dark. I couldn't see—all I saw was darkness surrounding me.
I was so scared I felt my knees trembling.
"W-who are you? I cannot see you." I finally found my voice.
"Who am I is not important! And I am sure you remembered about your old friend Ms. Swan!"
He really got me impatient. All my fears were replaced by anger.
"I don't care, now tell me who the heck are you?" I demanded.
"It is not for you to know who am I Isabella."
The dark clouds had carried the rain away as it faded far above.
I ran out of the shelter heading to the tombs. I kept running—running and running. I could feel my legs go numb and my heart beginning to ache. The pain was excruciating but not from my heart—it was from my neck—the love bite.
I needed air, I can't go on. Part of me wanted to glance back but I am afraid—afraid that he is still chasing me.
My body collapsed as I tripped over a stone and landed on somebody's grave.
There were leafs and roots scattered all over. I wiped my tears away from my eyes and gave a quick glance behind.
No one. He isn't after me.
My whole body was drenched with water.
"Great!" I murmured.
Then, it was then I look up at the tomb, there was a name carved on the tomb. It took a while for the name to register in my brain.
It was stated—
Marissa Chloe Mitch
My mind flashed back to the tragic incident that made me felt guilty for my whole life.
I still remembered the last word spoken from my best friend.
It will forever remain as a reminder of my friend's death.
Tears welled up in my eyes. Then, I notice Edward and Alice running towards me.
In just a second, they were by my side.
Edward look hurt and worried. "Bella! Are you okay? Alice got a vision of you. What are you actually doing here?"
"Nothing Edward, I just came to visit my old friend here." I wiped off my tears and tried to smile.
Edward glanced around as though trying to look if there was any other creature here.
"Gosh Bella! We we're so worried about you. What happen?" Alice finally found her voice.
"Let's go home, I'm tired." I avoided her question.
Confusion displayed on their pale faces. Edward just nodded and led me to his car.
I gave Alice my car keys and hopped in to his Volvo.
"Bella." Edward broke the awkward silence wrapped around us.
I knew exactly what he wanted to ask.
"Believe me Edward, it's just I missed my friend. That's all." I assured him, looking out the window. The weather is gloomy it really did matched my mood now.
The car suddenly jerked to a stop. I look out, my house is on clear view.
"I'll come over tonight. I've got some things to settle right now." Edward leaned in and gave me a sweet kiss.
"Thanks Edward, for everything." I jumped out of the car and wave goodbye at him.
He pressed the oil and sped out from my driveway leaving dust lingered at the air.
I watched as his Volvo completely disappeared from my sight.
I pace to my front door completely unaware of a figure standing infront of me. My visions are blurred from the thick fog, I rubbed my eyes. Who is he? Seems familiar to me. My eyes lit with alarm, standing before me was Fredrick.
"Hi Bella." His enchanting voice dazzled me. I tossed my hair behind my ear as the wind blew through strongly trying hard to mess up my hair.
"Come in and talk, the weather is so not good." I gestured him to sit at the couch.
He nodded and glanced around my house.
"So, what brings you here?" I asked bluntly.
"I knew something that you do not know. You saw Marissa's tomb didn't you?" He asked quietly.
I lifted my eyebrow in surprise. Too many questions were now filtered in to my mind. How did he know about Marissa? Is he the one that rang me this afternoon?
"Y-you met Marissa before?" My voice was shaky in fear and utter surprise.
"I knew her long ago, even longer than you."
I leaned back, trying to inhale some oxygen into my lungs. I motioned him to continue, maybe he can help me to find out the truth about that night.
He tore his gaze at the kitchen and turned to me, resting his elbow at the back of the couch.
"She was my sister—real sister." He looked at me before he continue. My mind was spinning now, so unexpected. "And I knew everything about you Isabella Swan. However, I am still clueless about what happened that night. She whispered the last sentence—Diamond apple, it's looks are innocent but covered with red blood, you were there too Bella, you heard what she said." Fredrick's eyes piercing into mine. He looked at me in a way that I was familiar of. His eyes—the same pair of piercing eyes I saw once, at the cemetery.
"Who are you actually?" The question slipped out of my mouth accidentally.
He looked up, our eyes met. His steady gold-eyed gaze was so full of desire and unabashed attraction. Suddenly he wrapped me in a cold embrace.
"Some things is better for you not to know." He whispered in my ear.
I pulled away from him, feeling guilty that I allowed him to hug me.
"What do you mean?" I asked firmly, looking into his magnetic eyes.
"You eager to know? Then follow me." He grabbed my hands and pulled me out to his car.
He drove fast but not as fast as Edward though. I cringed back to my seat.
"Where are we going?" I cracked out. He looked at me and grin. What's in this guy's head?
"The traffic's light, we'll reach there in no time." He avoided the subject.
"Fredrick, where exactly are we going?" I persisted, a steely look in my eyes. I closed my eyes as I began to relax.
His gaze still fixed on the road, "To the club."
My eyes snapped open. "For what?"
"Revenge."
A chill ran through me as he mentioned the word 'revenge'. My mind racing feverishly, what is he going to do to me? I need to call Edward! I need to get out of here. I tried to opened the door but the door's locked—too late.
