I just posted Chapter 12 an hour ago, so I only got 2 reviews. Thank you to my 2 reviewers! This isn't exactly going to be my best chapter yet. It's just going to show how Edward and Bella are doing 6 months later. I just need the readers to know what's going on with them and everything since I took a big gap of time out of the story. Also, the explicit scene from Chapter 10 will be repeated after a back rub. If you feel more comfortable skipping it, that's fine. Guess what Alice does?
Time
6 months later…
Edward's POV
I surveyed my surroundings. I could see that I was in a rocky place. A woman speaks. I recognize it, not caring about what it was that she said. I realize the danger I am in. I turn around, after hearing her voice. There she is. Victoria is standing inches away from me, holding Bella. Her fingernails were held up by her hand against Bella's neck, threatening, asking, even, to kill her. Bella is worried, I can tell, but she tries to keep her brave face on for my sake.
Victoria spoke in her uppity position. "You want her? You'll have to catch her." And then she did the unthinkable. She threw Bella off of a cliff. I finally realized where we were. It wasn't just any cliff. It was the Grand Canyon. One of the highest cliffs in America. Even a vampire could die from that. I couldn't let that happen to Bella. Without 2nd thought, I dove and caught her in the air. For a few seconds, everything was right while she's in my arms. But then we started to fall. I had forgotten the trouble we were in. As gravity took its pull on us, I could see a building below. …… A greenhouse? No…………… An inside pool! It must be for a hotel. That must be the building next to it. If we could land in that, we could probably get through it without even breaking anything.
"BELLA!" I yelled past the roaring of air around us. "IF WE CAN LAND IN THAT POOL, I THINK WE CAN GET OUT WITHOUT ANY INJURIES!" She seemed to understand, though I could barely hear myself. We aimed ourselves right above the pool. Now the only thing we could do was hope that we landed in it. It was getting closer. I didn't know what was going to happen. I prayed to God that we would land in the cold water. And now it came. We would either make it or we wouldn't. Relief flooded through my body as I felt myself crashing into glass. Although we landed in the shallow end, we were still alive because the water had slowed us down, along with our vampire abilities. I looked around, hoping that glass hadn't hit anyone. Everyone was looking at us, but luckily, no one was hurt in any way. Yet.
Meanwhile…
Emmett stared as Edward and Bella started to fall, and he realized that he was too late. The only thing he could do now is avenge them. He snuck up behind Victoria, and tackled her. He pinned her down. Then, taking her arms and spinning her around, he threw her off the side of the cliff. He watched as she fell, about a quarter-mile above Edward and Bella. He was amazed as Edward and Bella landed in a green glass building. Maybe they had a chance. Victoria on the other hand…
Back in the pool…
We watched as Victoria came down on the sharp rock outside the pool. The rock punctured her stomach. She was bleeding in many places. The two of us came out of the pool, and over to her. We looked into her eyes, too see if she was alive or dead. As we looked, they were far away, but still had a little bit of life in them. But suddenly, the spark blew out, and we knew she was dead.
And now we had no enemies in our way. We were both soaking wet. She kissed me, and I kissed her back. The kiss was like never before. It was both fun and romantic at the same time. I wished it would never end…
"Did you like it, babe?" I heard Bella ask.
I had just woken up from a dream that Bella had given me.
"I loved it. Ow." I winced as I heard my back crack as I bent over. I had hurt it yesterday. Bella and I were in a car accident. Normal people would have been dead immediately. But we definitely weren't normal.
"I thought you would like being the hero. You want a backrub?" I gaped in awe. She had never asked me this before. I thought about the tension leaving my back, with her fingers dancing along it, rubbing them, and I automatically laid down on the bed like a puppy waiting to be petted. She took off my shirt, cramped it up into a ball, and threw it into our hamper. She placed her fingers on my back, and melodically moved them from the front of it to the back. She squeezed my shoulders, pulled them back, and let them go. I couldn't believe how fast my pain went away. I didn't think that I would feel any back pain tomorrow, she was so good. When all of my tension was gone, and I was completely relaxed, I told her, "Your turn."
"What?"
"You don't really expect me to accept a back rub from you and not give you one in return? Now take off your shirt,"
Her jaw dropped to her shoulders.
"What?" I asked. "Are you afraid to show your 110 year old fiancé your breasts for 3 seconds? Fine, I'll turn the other way." As I did this, I could hear her taking off her shirt and lying down on the bed.
"Ready?" I asked her.
"Always."
I turned around with un-human speed. I put my rough hands flew across her back, pushing down on her tense spots, trying to understand why this beautiful angel loved me. But I didn't care. She did, and that was all that mattered. Eventually, she said, "OK, that's enough."
I took my hands off of her back, and she held her shirt over her breasts. "Thank you, honey. That really was relaxing." She leaned in for a kiss, and I gave her one.
I wanted more, though. We really hadn't gotten serious in our kisses for a long time. Apparently, she did too. She took out the shirt that was separating us, and dug her tongue into my mouth. We leaned down on the bed. She unbuttoned my rough jeans. I took them off, and did the same to her. In about 30 seconds, we were undressed, and ready to go. And what happened next? Déjà vu. We heard the door open and a woman's voice yelling, "SURPRISE!" We looked over to see Alice standing in the doorway. "Sorry guys, I saw this again, and I wouldn't have interrupted your love fest, but I have to get Bella ready. Ready for what? I thought. And then I remembered. We were getting married that afternoon.
So…. did you like it? I'm only having 2 more chapters in this story. It should be done tomorrow. If you liked my writing, then look for something called Shipwreck on Sunday. If you didn't like my writing, avoid anything called Shipwreck. Review or else the last 2 chapters won't come (and let me tell you, I've already got them planned out in my mind, and they're the best chapters yet)!
