Disclaimer: Twilight is not mine. (I am so tired of typing this phrase. Or even different variations of this phrase.)
Authors Note: I am sorry that I did not get anything up yesterday. I could not upload any documents. For this I have two chapters and I expect to get another one out today. They are both short, but oh well. Let me think. Oh yes this is the part that I tell you guys that I love you. Well I will do that later. You want to find out what happens. But I made a mistake in chapter 11. I said that she would drink from animals if she joined the coven, but I meant to say that she would not drink from animals. I forgot the not.
The crash that we heard was the door being broken down, and the person that had run through was the guy that had talked to Carlisle.
"Are you sure that you will not give the girl peacefully?"
"Well considering that you just broke the door of my house down, I have a feeling that that is no longer an option."
"It's your head. I guess that we will have to take her by force then." With that an army, or so it seemed, of vampires stormed into the room.
Then they all turned and watched as one vampire, I assumed was the coven leader, came into the room. His eyes were a dark burgundy and I have to admit that he was very good looking. Not as beautiful as Edward, but he was a close second.
He had a body built for sin. He had brown hair that was long and spilled across his face, with muscles, broad shoulders, and he was at least 6'1. I couldn't help but wonder what his power was. Then he spoke.
"Are you sure Carlisle that you will not give me the girl?" His voice was deep, and velvety.
Before I could even think of what I was doing I spoke, "Isabella."
Then Carlisle stood in front of me and said, "She is not yours to take. She already has a suitor."
"Ah yes. So I have heard. Your son Edward. Well why don't I ask Isabella what she wants?"
Carlisle turned to me and said, "Say no, Bella. He has more then one power and one of them is control. He can control what you think and want. Don't listen to what he says."
"Well Isabella. What do you think? Who do you want to go with, Edward or me?"
"Edward." I said it quickly and without hesitation. There was no doubt in my mind about this decision.
"Very well then. It is time for you to see that, were you may want Edward right now, you will choose me in the end."
With that said, all of the vampires attacked. I heard him say that they could not harm me; I was for him and him alone. After that everything was a blur. I heard roars and knew that there was no way that the Cullen's would win this fight because they would be afraid for me. They had not fed recently so they had less control. To let go that carefully kept control could get me killed. Edward would never forgive himself. So all I could do is watch the fight unroll before me knowing that there was only one outcome to this fight, and I knew that the Cullen's were not going to be the victors.
I saw as one by one they were fighting and how all of them failed. There were at least 5 vampires for each of the Cullen's. In a matter of minutes all of them were held down.
I knew that it would not kill them to be cut, but I bet that it would take a long time to heal from decapitation, and by the time that they were healed I would be gone. Might as well go with them perfectly able to see and save me. I couldn't believe what I was about to do.
"Stop." All of the vampires in the room looked up at me. Then I turned to the coven leader. "What is you name?"
"Richard Alvarado."
"Richard, if I promise to go with you will you leave them and make sure that no harm comes to them."
"Yes."
"Then I will go with you, but you have to swear that you will not harm them."
"I swear that I will not harm them in any way."
"Let me say good bye."
"Very well, but do not take to long." I walked over to Esme and gave her a hug.
"Take care of them."
Next was Carlisle. "Please keep them all safe."
And then Emmett, "I loved you like a brother. You are the strongest in strength, but never forget that your heart, though strong, is also only human."
Rosalie I gave her the biggest hug so far. "I am so sorry that I never got to know you. I know that that will be one of my largest regrets."
"Alice." She looked like she was going to cry. "I love you. You were the sister I never had, and the friend that I always needed. Help Edward, okay?"
"Bella I am so sorry that I did not have that vision sooner."
"It is not your fault. It's fate. I was just not meant to live a normal, long life."
"Jasper, I want you to take care of Alice for me okay. She may be strong, but she is still a girl. You have really helped me along the way. It sure was an emotional roller coaster." He chuckled a little at my horrible attempt at humor.
Edward was last. He hugged me like I was the most precious thing on Earth. "Why Bella?"
"I don't want you to die Edward. I somehow doubt that you would be able to heal from being headless." He smiled a little at that. "Oh god Edward. I am going to miss you." I cried into his shoulder and then he whispered just loud enough for only me to hear.
"I love you Isabella Cullen. No matter what happens or who is in my way, I will save you." He then kissed me. It had the feeling of a last kiss though. He poured all of his love, and desperation into that one kiss, as if hoping that maybe, just maybe it would make a difference. When we came away, I knew that my lips were bruised, but I didn't care.
"I love you Edward Cullen, with all of my heart. Never doubt that, no matter what happens, or what I say or do."
Then I turned to Richard. "I am ready to go." I wiped away the tears and prepared for what would probably be the worst time of my life.
"Come." I walked to him and then he walked out the door.
For what I was sure would be the last time that I saw them I looked at the Cullens. The last thing that I saw was the face of my angel and then we got into a car and drove off.
Out of instinct I had gotten into the front seat, but the second Richard sat next to me I instantly regretted it.
"Isabella – a beautiful name to match a beautiful woman." I blushed. I couldn't help it. I had been called beautiful before, but never a woman. Always female or young lady. Even though the compliment came from the one man that I despised the most in the world, it was still a compliment. The happy feeling that had accompanied the compliment was gone quickly though at the thought that I would never see Edward again.
"You are even prettier when you blush. So, Isabella please tell me about you."
"What do you need to know for? All you want is a meal and roll in the hay. You'll probably tire of me quickly and then find someone to replace me. Why bother telling you about myself, when I will be discarded so soon after use." Inwardly I cringed at my words, but they needed to be said. This man had taken me from my family, my home, and my love; he deserved no mercy.
He pulled the car over and dragged me out. His eyes were black. His entire body screamed that he was furious. When he spoke there was an underlying growl.
"You, my dear, are neither a meal nor a 'roll in the hay' as you put it. I want you to rule with me. You are to be my bride and my mate. There is no if or but. I got you because you were the best thing that I have seen and smelled for over three centuries. If I wanted a meal I would not have gone through so much trouble as to bring my coven and challenge another's for the right to a human."
He then threw me on the floor and said, "Get in the car."
I got up slowly and then made my way to the car. By the time that I had gotten there I could see that Sean (who?) had calmed down. He opened the door and then waited for me to get in. Then he raised his hand as if he wanted to shake mine.
"My name is Richard Alvarado and it is nice to meet you. What is your name?"
I extended my hand slowly and cautiously. "Isabella Cullen. I mean Swan. It is nice to meet you too." We shook hands.
Then he turned towards the road and drove on. The ride was long and I was tired so before I knew it and even though I knew that I shouldn't; I fell asleep.
3 Hours Later
When I woke up I felt peaceful, but then I remembered what had happened. I knew that I was being carried and that it was probably Richard. The arms and what I could feel of the chest were cold.
"So you are awake. Are you hungry?" Before I even had a chance to answer my stomach growled and I blushed crimson. "I take that as a yes."
I opened my eyes and looked around. I sat up a little in Richards arms and he moved to accommodate this new position. I looked up and saw that there were stairs. Lot's and lot's of stairs. I was tired just looking at them.
After walking down the longest hallway that I had ever been in we finally reached what I assumed was the kitchen. I couldn't tell though because it was dark.
Shifting my weight from both of his arms, I now was only being held in his left. He reached over and then flicked on a switch. Once the light was on I gasped. The kitchen was humungous. There was state of the art everything. Too bad it would almost never be used. I knew that he would probably waste no time in changing me.
He set me down gently and then opened a cabinet and pulled out bread. Then, turning to the fridge he opened it and pulled out peanut butter and jelly. At the sight of it I giggled. He looked over at me and raised his eyebrow.
"What do you think is so funny?" I shook my head and said the same thing.
"It is too stupid to repeat."
"Well
stupid things tend to be funny. Why don't you share the laugh?"
So I did. I told him the freakin' story and he laughed. It was a
clear and ringing laughter.
"I think that you have very weird
dreams. Well, let me make your sandwich, and then I can show you the
room that you will be sleeping in."
"Okay." I was convinced that he was going to make me sleep with him, and I was prepared for it. I knew that I would talk and that I would cry, but that is not what I was worried about. I was worried that I would feel comfort in his cool embrace. What was wrong with me?
Realizing that I had spaced out, I refocused and realized that Richard had finished making my sandwich and had set it in front of me on a napkin. He was turned around and was putting away the things that he had used. Then he washed the knife he had used and put it away.
When he was done he turned to me and held out his hand. "Are you ready to go?"
I grabbed my sandwich and then let him take my other hand. "As I will ever be."
AN: So what do you think? Should I keep on going? Don't worry all of you Edward Bella couples. This will be an Edward Bella story; it will just have some conflict. I am sure that they will find each other in the end. Maybe? I couldn't submit anything so I was bored. I needed something to do and this is what came out. Boy I am sure getting better at this whole intense and dramatic thing. Maybe I should consider writing as my career of choice? Anyway I wanted to warn you that I was thinking that I might change views. It will be like from Bella's, to Edwards. I am not sure yet. Or maybe I will just do a sequel set in Edwards POV. You tell me.
