Bit of a twist
Chapter 2
It had been 2 months since Rosalie's 1st ever birthday and not much had happened. Lucy still went about being the stay at home wife while Anthony still goes to work, but he had a small promotion at work so he had to work longer hours.
As usual Bella was sat atop the roof of the Hale household, just enjoying the calm of the night, but something had been nagging at her, something she had neglected to do since the night of Rosalie's birth; feed.
The feeling started off small, a little itch at the back of her throat or a thought here and there, but now it was so bad she had to stay away from people because she knew she would just jump them, and end up killing them in the process of drinking their blood.
She didn't want to take any risks being with Rosalie even though she knew she would never hurt her, she couldn't, but Lucy and Anthony were different, she didn't have the mating bond to stop her from doing what she needed, so she kept her distance.
Bella sighed and ran her hand through her long brown locks of hair. She started clicking her teeth together ad her legs started to bob up and down. The itch was back in her throat, but now it felt like something was clawing it instead.
Red eyes scanned her surroundings to see if there was anyone nearby before she dashed of, using her vampire speed to dart off in the direction of the hospital. She was there in 2 minutes even though the hospital was on the opposite side of the city.
She quickly darted inside, using her heightened senses to find what she was looking for and once she did her whole being focused on that one room where the blood was kept.
Darting around the hospital without being noticed by the late workers, she suddenly found herself clutching a blood bag in her hand, not even realising how she had got here or when she grabbed the bag, but she quickly tore it open and devoured it anyway.
One after another she devoured the bags until there was none left, but she was still so hungry, she felt like she had been starved for eternity. She felt like she was on a high, one she wanted to keep.
She wanted to stop herself from doing this, but the basic needs of her vampire life needed to be maintained and because she had neglected to do that she was acting on pure instinct and not rational thought.
"Excuse me, but you're not allowed to be in-!" A male doctor began to say as he walked into the room, but Bella was on him before he could finish, her fangs buried within his neck as she sucked him dry.
Clamping her hand over his mouth to avoid his screams alerting others, Bella barely felt his weak dying attempts at trying to get her off and escape before he eventually fell limp in her arms and she dropped him to the floor, eyes wide in horror and shock.
She frantically backed herself into the corner of the room, her hands desperately clinging to her suit jacket to stop from taking another life again. She zoned out, ignoring her lessened need to feed and her tempting senses. She don't know how long she was in that small room.
"BELLA!" A voice shouted, a body6 bursting into the room and rushing towards her. "Get a grip! We need to leave now!" The voice said, dragging her out of the room.
When Bella refused to zone back in she received a harsh slap to the face, but the hand that connected with her face was hot, as in scorching hot.
"Bella get your act together or we will all die!"
Bella finally zoned back in, her senses alerting her to her surroundings and the man standing in front of her; Adam.
"Adam?" She asked, confused. "What are you doing here? It's too soon for another visit the Volturi and Hunters will be able to track us!" She shouted, pushing his hands off of her and effectively pushing him away.
"That's why I'm here!" He shouted, his eyes frantic as he moved back in and started pulling Bella with him. "I'll explain on the way but we need to get out of here now!"
Bella nodded, chasing after Adam as they rushed to escape the hospital. They were out in a matter of seconds and jumped to the nearest building roof, but didn't linger and jumped roof to roof.
"They're tracking Louise and Daniel, Molly is safe for now, but not for long. We need to regroup and find a way to throw them off or they'll find us and as we are we can't fight and win yet." Adam started, looking at Bella next to him.
"What do you mean they're tracking Louise and Daniel? I specifically gave you orders to prevent this from happening!" She roared, but emotions flying everywhere as she thought about the people she called family.
"They met up for a few hours, an hour too long and the Hunters had caught knowledge of where they were, and since the hunters made a move so did the Volturi. We're all meeting up now, away from our previous locations so that we can be safe."
Bella suddenly stopped, a frown on her face before she took off to the side, Adam quickly following her. "What are you doing?! We have no time to be stopping at places along the way Isabella!"
"I need to see Rosalie! I won't leave without knowing she is safe!" She shouted to him before he launched himself at her and they both fell to the nearest roof. "Get off!"
"You can't go and see her! If you do you'll never be able to leave her! The bond is too strong for you to tear yourself away!" Adam screamed, trying to pin Bella still so that he could get her to understand.
Bella was having none of it as she pulled her legs up to her stomach and kicked him off, darting off to the Hale residence once she was free. "I need to see her before I leave!"
Adam growled, but sighed and followed after her. If he had met his other half he would probably want to see her before dissipating for who knows how long too.
Bella was at the Hale house a whole minute later, walking up to the front door and pulling it open. She could hear Rosalie's steady heartbeat, but she heard a frantic one too.
"Isabella?" Lucy called, standing from her sitting position. "I was so worried about you!" She said, tightening her grip on her nightgown as she took in Bella's appearance. "What happened to you? Are you alright?"
Bella smiled at the woman, walking forwards and looking into her eyes. "I'm fine Lucy, just calm down. I need you to do something for me."
Lucy nodded her head, entranced by those enticing red eyes.
"I need you to go back to bed and know that I will one day return, but for now I need to leave for a little while to ensure yours and Rosalie's safety, okay?"
Once again Lucy nodded her head.
"Go to bed Lucy, I will be back before you know it."
And Lucy went on her way to bed, a smile on her face and a wave of her hand.
"We don't have much time Bella, they'll be here within minutes." Adam reminded, standing guard at the door. Bella nodded to him and went upstairs.
When Bella walked into the room she wasn't expecting to see Rosalie stood up in her cot, her baby blue eyes sad, almost as if she knew Bella was leaving her. She had hoped Rosalie would still be asleep.
Bella's heart was constricted; she didn't want to leave, but she had to.
"Hey there baby girl," She whispered, but the look did not leave Rosalie's face. Bella walked forward and pulled the child into her arms, feeling the smaller body cling to her like she was the only thing in the world keeping her afloat. "I need to go away for a little bit, Rosalie. I need to do it to protect my family, but also you. Just remember I will come back to you, I promise I will." Bella whispered, trying to ignore the wet spot on her shoulder and the small trembles from Rosalie's body.
She untangled Rosalie's small limbs and put her back in her cot, trying her best not to look at those blue eyes. She pulled of her tailcoat blazer and wrapped it around the very being for her existence.
Rosalie quickly snuggled into the warm blazer, pulling it closer to herself as she looked up at Bella; she felt like she would be losing part of herself if Bella left.
Bella, understanding the feeling smiled reassuringly at the girl, helping to tuck her back into her cot and stroking her blonde hair until she closed her little eyes and dosed off.
"I promise I'll be back Rosalie…" Bella whispered, leaning over the edge of the cot and placing a light kiss against blonde curls.
Bella left the room and met up with Adam, nodding at him as they both quickly disappeared into the night without so much as trace, the only thing left behind was Bella's favourite tailcoat and the lingering feeling of her kiss.
It took everything in her being to pull away and leave the room, the house, and the city where Rosalie was, but she knew she would come back.
