Chapter Six *the real one!*

sorry I haven't updated. I'm having computer trouble, but I am at a friends right now, so Im able to update!

Edwards P.O.V.

We spent what felt like forever searching for the door where she could be through. Every door seemed to be covered with her scent. I despised it. There were several thoughts that were racing through my head. Why couldn't I hear Bella? I couldn't hear her voice, her breath, or even worse...her heart.

"She's in the basement," Jasper said, looking towards the floor. Sometimes his empathy was extremely helpful.

I knew why I could not hear anything out of Bella. Alice's vision must have been true.

As I opened the door, the sweet scent of blood burned my throat. This blood burned me more then any other scent I have ever smelled. This scent was so close to dominating me. I knew the scent. I knew it very well. Alice's vision was right, as we had all silently predicted.

A pale, brown haired girl was pinned against a coffin. She was unconscious (or at least thats what I was hoping for). Her throat was slit and blood was pouring out of it. I didn't see any bite marks.

"Bella," I whispered. It felt as if my still heart had been ripped out of my chest. Actually, that would feel pleasant compared to this. I turned my head and snarled at the blond vampire standing in the corner of the surprisingly large room. The room was basically empty. Everything was wooden, and there were no lights. On the left side of the room was a huge casket with Bella pinned inside of it. On the right side, parallel to the coffin was a cross. Funny.

In between the two was a blonde vampire. He was tall, much taller then anyone in my family. His red eyes were filled with several emotions- happiness, excitement. No sorrow. I realized he was holding a bloody knife.

"Who the hell are you?" He asked rudely. But his thoughts said differently. Ah, this must be Edward. He doesn't look as tough as Bella claimed he was. He'll be an easy kill.

"Who are you?" I asked, crouched, snarls ripping through my throat. That didn't matter right now. All that mattered was revenge.

"I have been waiting for you, Edward. I'm surprised it took you this long to get here. It's been a couple days, you know?"

"What did you do to her?" I asked, already knowing the answer. There was still a chance to save her. I could hear a heartbeat in this room, so close to her. It was so faint I could barely hear it when I was right next to her. Saving her would involve a transformation. Before the night was over, Bella would not be human.

She would be like me. A monster, a creature of the night. She would have eternal life, and blood lust. She would be a vampire.
