We had moved as soon as I was rescued (three months ago). We moved away from Forks into another city because Edward was scared that Derek would find me again. Alice never did have any more visions of him and I took that as a good sign.
Yet, somehow, in my heart, I knew that I would be seeing him again. I knew that he was going to fight for me once more.
EPV "Edward, it's Bella's birthday next week." I looked up to see Jasper leaning on the doorway of my room. I smiled and nodded."I know."
"Al and I have a surprise for you two. We
bought tickets to London for you!"
"Really? Wow, impressive,
Bella would love it there."
"I know. I already told her and she's upstairs screaming with Alice."
I chuckled.
"You'll be leaving in two day's time." And he left, smiling to himself.
BPVEdward and me were sitting side by side on the plane heading to London and I was exuberant.
"I can't believe we're going to London!" I gushed.
"I know, you'll love it there."
"You've been there?"
"Oh, two or three times…Okay, Bella, listen up, we're going to go through some rules, alright? Okay, first of all, you are going to carry your cell with you at all times, you are never to leave my side, when we're walking, you're going to hold my hand the whole time okay? If you want to go anywhere, just tell me. Don't talk to anyone too. Did you get that?"
"Edward," I signed, exasperated. "I know how to take care of myself."
Edward cupped my chin in his hand and stared at me seriously.
"I'm not taking any chances. After what happened three months ago…Bella, you have no idea how afraid I was, I can't help it if I'm overprotective."
"Edward, he's not going to find me again…"
"You don't know that. I know he's out there, looking. He's a good tracker. Just promise me, okay?"
I nodded.
We finally landed and Edward flagged a taxi down and we drove to the local 5 star hotel. After settling in, I looked at Edward.
"What do you plan to do?"
He checked his watch.
"Well, it is now 6, what do you say we go grab dinner, then go on a little walk around to look at the sights."
"That sounds great. What restaurant will we head too?"
"I saw this really nice French one down the street."
I nodded and got dressed in a black silk strapless dress. I let my hair down and curled it then pulled on a pair of black stilettos. When Edward saw me, he grinned and walked over to kiss my perfumed neck. Then, taking my hand and leading me out the hotel, he whispered.
"Don't forget the rules…" I rolled my eyes but nodded nonetheless.
It was a delicious dinner. And when I saw the bill that Edward was paying, I sucked in my breath. $249.93. Then, taking my hand, he lead me out and we began strolling down the streets.
"How 'bout we do a little shopping, Bella?"
I groaned. "Oh no, Edward, if you're planning on buying me these expensive designers…"
He winked and smiled. "C'mon."
Two hours later, after all the boutiques were closed, and both Edward's arms and mine were laddened down with clothes we began to make our way back down to the hotel.
"Alice is going to be so jealous." I giggled at the thought and Edward laughed along with me.
After we dropped all the bags on the floor, Edward flopped onto his bed and pulled me next to him. His lips were an inch away from mine when I pulled away.
"Oh c'mon, Edward, I don't want to do this now. I want to sleep." He whined playfully but released me nonetheless and I sleepily crawled into my own bed.
I looked at the watch. 1AM. I desperately wanted to have a drink of water. I leaned over to tap Edward on the shoulder. It was his rule that he accompany me everywhere after all but I stopped, my finer a centimeter away from his shoulder. It would be selfish of me to wake him, he needed his rest. So I picked myself up and made my way down to the water fountain.
Just as I spotted it and hurried there, a hand grabbed me and pulled me into a closet. Even before I saw the face, I knew who it was. Derek. In the utter darkness, I could barely make out his face but he had me pinned against the wall, body heavy on mine.
"Well, well, well, we meet again."
"How'd you find me here?" I croaked.
"Tracker." He smiled down on me. "I was with you on the airplane. I followed you here and waited till you were all alone. With your stupidity, I knew you'd be careless enough to wonder around, unprotected. That's the reason why I was able to take you three months ago. I don't love you anymore, Bella."
I struggled against his arms.
"Then…let…me go!"
"No, no, no, that wouldn't do, now will it?"
"If you're planning on kidnapping me again…"
"Nah, I wouldn't waste my time like that. I hate your boyfriend so so much after what he did to me. Now, that wasn't very nice. So, I'm just going to take some revenge on him. You see…I have a camera." He flashed a camera into my face and he put it onto a table where its lenses faced us.
"Now, watch this…" And suddenly, I watched as Derek morphed into none other but…Emmett. "And that's not my only power."
I knew what he was going to do.
"No." I breathed.
"I'm just going to do a few things to you, enough so Edward would think that you cheated on him." And before I knew it, Derek had clicked open the camera and was kissing me furiously. His hands moved all over my body, teeth grinding mine. But strangely, I realized that I couldn't struggle and I found myself kissing him back. And then his face left mine and he spoke lewd words.
"I love you…"
Strangely, I felt my jaw being moved, not by own will, but by some mysterious power.
"I love you too." I felt these words spilling out of my mouth, but they were not mine.
"Would you leave Edward for me? I left Rose for you." 'Emmett' said.
"Yes." I tried to stop myself, but I couldn't. And then he began kissing me again, hand tangled in my hair. Finally, it was over and he clicked the stop button of the camera. He released me and changed back into Derek.
"That's my new power I developed. I can control you to do anything I want. I have Emmett under the same spell too. You're still under my control, Bella, and I'll take it off you when I want. But first, this is what I will control you to do. I will make you go over to Edward and hand him the video then tell him that you will be leaving him for his brother." Then he left. I wanted to break down into tears but I found that I couldn't, instead I found myself walking over to our room, my hand gripping the camera.
AN: Yeah, I know, vampires don't sleep, but it wouldn't work if I didn't make Edward sleep. Anyways, what'd you think? R&R!
