"Edward!" Alice suddenly yelled, urgency filling her voice.
"What is it? Does it have something to do with Bella?" Alice nodded, biting her lips. "I had a vision…"
I pulled over and stopped the car. I gripped her shoulders firmly and made her look at me. Every fiber of her eyes reflected sadness. I began to grow worry. That is, more than I already was. Alice took a deep breath and let me enter her mind.
Bella and Derek were standing together, holding hands. Bella was in a beautiful gown and Derek was wearing a tux. Although Derek was grinning broadly, I saw Bella's eyes filling with tears. A priest stood in front of them, reading from a Bible.
I knew instantly. Bella and Derek were getting married.
"No!" I yelled, my hands left Alice's shoulders and gripped the steering wheel instead and the car lunged forward.
"Where's the nearest church?"
"Take the next highway!" I put on another burst of speed, eyes concentrating hard on the road.
I'm coming, Bella.
BPVDerek slipped the diamond ring onto my forefinger gently. I glared down at it with hatred. The ostentatious jewel looked out of place on my simple hand. He looked at me meaningfully and I slipped a plain golden band onto his finger.
"You may now kiss the bride." Derek leaned in and cupped my face gently. He placed his lips on mine. For too long. I could barely breath but he finally pulled back.
"I love you…" He breathed. I said nothing back. At this, he grabbed my arm tightly, and I winced at the pain.
"I said I love you!" He nearly yelled through gritted teeth.
"I love you too." I gasped, frightened. Derek released me, satisfied.
The priest handed Derek a pen and an official looking piece of paper.
"Sign here," he said, placing a gnarled finger on a dotted line. Derek scrawled his name on the line and then handed the pen to me. I took it with shaking hands and took a long, deep breath. I placed the tip of the pen to the line. What else could I do? I was being forced into a marriage, but there was nothing I could do to prevent it. But suddenly the door burst open and there stood a furious Edward and Alice. I nearly burst into tears of happiness.
"Bella!" He yelled, starting toward me but suddenly I felt a pain at my scalp. Derek had pulled my hair back so my head was raised and my neck was exposed. I felt the blade of a knife being pressed ever so gently on my bare throat. His other arm was wrapped tightly around my torso, keeping me hostage.
"One more step and the girl dies!" He threatened. The other vampires in the audience filed outside, murmuring amongst themselves. Even the priest left.
"Let her go!" Edward bellowed, his voice echoing around the hall.
"No! She's my wife now!"
"I didn't sign the paper!" I protested, struggling against his grasp but he held me tight. I began to cry.
"Shut up!" Derek growled, pulling my hair further back. I felt several pieces of hair part from my scalp. I cried out in pain.
"Edward!"
"Did you hear me? Shut up!" Derek yanked once more.
"Let her go, Derek." Alice said calmly. "She doesn't love you."
At this, Derek flared up. He roared in anger.
"She does! She loves me!"
"You're not sane." Alice took a step forward and I felt the hand on my torso forcing me back slightly.
"I said, one more step and she dies!"
"How does a husband threaten to kill his wife?"
AN: I know! Crappy ending. LOL. So what happens next? Suggestions please, I can't think of any. Thanks! R&R!
