The leader began to approach Bella, as his two friends held her tightly by the arms. He wore an evil, clownish, grin, as he moved slowly forward. He put out a hand and touched Bella softly on the shoulder. She shivered. His hand was cold, and it sent a current of energy through her body. She shrugged her shoulder to get him off. Then, in the blink of an eye, he was behind her. He ran his fingers through her hair and whispered into her ear.

"How did someone so beautiful, end up with someone like Edward Cullen?"

"You leave him out of this."

he chuckled

"Oh, we have nothing against your boyfriend, Ms. Swan"

The sound of her name escaping his white lips was enough to make her sick.

"Bella."

"Isabella to you."

"Come now, we both know how much you hate that name."

her eyes widened. How did he now so much about her? How did he know about Edward, or her name? How did he know where she lived? How?

"Now, you have to tell me what you're thinking. I can't read minds you know."

he chuckled again. He nodded his head to his men, and they started dragging her off.

"Hey! Stop! Stop! Now! Stop!"

"Bella! Don't struggle now. You'll make it worse."

Against her will, she stopped.

"That must be his power."

she thought. The two men stopped moving, and the leader disappeared. Bella was suddenly very frightened. Where was he? Then, all of the sudden she felt a piercing pain in her back, as the world went black and she passed out.
