Chapter 7: Gone For Good

Victoria's POV:

All of a sudden, I heard a loud smash. I whipped my head around, to see the pathetic Cullen family. "Always ruining my fun!" I yelled.

Carlisle slowly approached us, his family right behind him.

"How dare you break in here!?" I shrieked. James got in a protective croach in front of me. Carlisle put his hand up. "We come in peace Victoria."

How dare he lie to me?! I growled at him. "You liar! You probably want my Bella too!" I knew they would want to save Laurent as well. So much for his painful death. I took a match out of my pocket before lighting it on the ground. I ripped Laurent's head off before throwing it in the fire, as well as his body and the chair he was tied in.

The Cullen's gasped. They were going down. James pounced. I then realized how outnumbered we were. Two big ones were coming my way. That must have been Emmett and Jasper. I had no time to look at them. I ran into the door, smashing the glass in the process as I ran far out into the woods.

I could hear their feet pounding on the ground behind me. They were gaining on me. I jumped up onto a tree, before running in another direction. A couple minutes later, I realized that I had lost them.

I would get my Bella back. One day.

Bella's POV:

I heard alot of yelling coming from downstairs. What was going on? I heard a light knock on my door. "Who is it?" I asked.

A unfamiliar voice answered me. "My name is Edward Cullen. Can I come in please?" His voice sounded like smooth velvet. "Um..I guess.." He told me to stand back, for some reason. I stood back and watched as he broke the door down, sending it off it's hinges.

Edward was strong..He had butterscotch looking eyes, he was very pale and had messy bronze hair sticking in every direction. "Your Bella Swan, right?" Edward asked in his velvety voice.

"Yeah." I answered, still admiring his hair. "Well Laurent called me and my family and said that you were in danger so we came to save you." He ran a hand threw his hair.

My jaw dropped. I was finally going to rescued! Wait...My family was dead. My excitement immediately turned to dread. "My family...Their all dead." I whispered.

"Bella...I'm so sorry..My family and I were planning to actually adopt you, that is if you don't want to be sent to an orphanage." Edward gave me a sympathetic look.

My eyes widdened. I was going to get a family?! "B-but...I don't even know you." This must have been some sort of sick joke.

His eyes suddenly turned coal black. "Laurent was a very good friend to my father, Carlisle-"

"Wait, only 'was'?" I asked, before apologizing for interrupting. "Just listen first Bella. So as I was saying, Laurent was very good friends with my father, Carlisle. and about thirty minutes ago, Laurent called Carlisle and said you were kidnapped and that he had loved you. So anyways, Laurent asked Carlisle to come save you because apparently Laurent was going to die."

I gasped. Laurent..Was going to die? "The sad thing is, we got here too late. Just as we entered, Victoria killed Laurent." Edward said shaking his head.

"Oh my god...Laurent...Died?!" I screamed. Laurent had been the best. He saved me from James, he was kind, he brought food up to me. My thoughts were cut off when Edward replied. "Yes..I'm very sorry Bella." Edward said, seeming to be lost in his own thoughts.

"It's not your fault. It's Victoria's fault." He nodded his head at me. "I suppose we should get going now Bella. I'm pretty sure their done fighting now. I'll check first, stay right here Bella." When I told him I'd stay right there, he was gone with a blink of an eye. How did he do that?! The speed was...inhuman.

Edward's POV:

I told her to stay there, and when she said she'd stay I used my vampire speed and went downstairs. I figured she already knew about vampires, but it surprised me when I heard her heart beat faster. Oh no.

I was about to go back upstairs to make sure she was okay, when a force knocked me to the ground. When I looked to see what it was, I saw James on top of me growling. I quickly pushed him back, not paying much attention when I heard the sound of glass smashing as he flew threw the window.

Hopefully Bella would be ok in time time I was gone. I went into the room my family was in to make sure everyone was alright. My two brothers, Emmett and Jasper came in threw a broken door. "-Woman got away!" Emmett was saying to Jasper.

"Did you kill the blondie?" Emmett asked me. "No he got away Emmett, he went threw a window." I replied, smirking at his choice of words for James.

"Um, sorry to interrupt, but we have to get out of here! The fire is going to burn this place down and we need to get Bella out!" Alice shouted.

I suddenly noticed the smoke coming from the other room, "Alice is right, we should get going." Carlisle stated calmly. We all ran upstairs and everyone waited outside the door while I went inside to retrieve Bella.

"Bella? We have to go there's a fire." I said. I noticed her sitting in a corner. Her scent lingered under my nose but I held my breath, in case I lost control. My eyes had probably gone black with hunger.

"H-how did you...You ran so fast..." She looked right into my eyes, her chocolate brown eyes boring into mine with confusion. "There's no time to explain Bella, we have to go!" I started to get panicked. What if we couldn't make it out in time?

"You promise you'll explain it to me later then?" She asked. Bella sounded completely calm, I tried looking into her mind to see what she was thinking, but heard nothing. I was beyond confused. This girl had to think something, she couldn't just think about nothing all the time?

Bella nodded at me before standing, and following me out the door. We were about to go down the stairs but stopped when Bella tripped and started to fall down the stairs.

Hey guys! It's Ashlyn. I just wanted to apologize for not getting this chapter out sooner. I was going to put it up yesterday but I went to my aunts house for thanksgiving and then today my family came over so I didn't have time too. I don't know when the next chapter will be out because tomorrow I have to go back to school, so I'm not going to make any promises on when the next chapter will be out. I had a really hard time making this chapter and I don't really like it. Anyways I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving! Please review and let me know what you think will happen next! I love to hear what you think! :)
