"Bella, trust me! Just take a breath or something. Your power will come to you." Laurent spoke as he gave my hand a reassuring squeeze. I smiled. I trusted him more than anyone here. Ever since I was changed he made my life amazing, not like the way Edward made me feel, but a friendly way.
"Oh Laurent, thank you so much for everything." I said giving him a hug. He smiled and took a step back.
"Bella, I'm going hunting, I shall see you later." He said waving and running off. I just nodded and waited for his return because everyone else was out hunting as well. That was the last time I would see my beloved Laurent. My friend.
That night we saw a purplish smoke arise from the forest. Victoria, James and I went running only to find and empty field and the ashes of Laurent. I broke down dry sobbing next to the pile. "Who did this!?" I screamed into the air. Victoria came rushing over to my side.
"Bella, please. Not now." She spoke strictly. She knew, so did James. How I do not know. I needed them to tell me but of course, they never did.
I drove back to our home and started to pack my things. "Bella, where are you going?" James questioned at the doorway to my bedroom. I sighed and threw more clothes into the suitcase.
"Away from him." I spat as I turned around to face him. His eyes were hard but his face was softer. Victoria appeared by his side in a flash and they both just gazed at me. "What?" I questioned.
"You can't leave like this." Victoria spoke as she came walking towards me. She gave me a hug and looked me in the eyes.
"You were the one who just said our clan only!" I said pushing her away.
"I said that because I knew you would be hurt, okay!? God Bella, sometimes you're just stuck in your human past! He hurt you, he left, he never came back. It's been 90 years and now he's right in front of your face. Ever since I've changed you, you've constantly been reliving the past. You love him!" She was screaming by the end of this. I just looked down at my feet.
"She's right Bella. Do you remember how much we wanted to kill you? How much we wanted your freesia smelling blood? We saved you because we knew you would help us." He was getting aggravated too.
"What is wrong with you two." I shouted. I kept packing while they searched for an answer. It was James who spoke up.
"Listen, We don't want to see you with the family who killed Laurent. On the same hand we want to see you happy for once. It's hard and we don't know what we want so we're giving you the choice. Just know, if you chose them, you lose us, okay?" I was speechless. Were they really making me choose?
"Bella, your gift keeps us safe. You know this." Victoria said sternly. I glared at her.
"My gift, that's all you care about!?" I shouted at them. Victoria got into a fighting position.
"Bella, make the smart move and just say you'll stay." Victoria hissed at me.
"What if I don't?" I said crouching down.
"They we'll kill you, plain and simple." James said getting into a crouching position. I glared at him hoping he would back down. No such luck. Before I realized what was going on, they both pounced at me, ready to kill. This was it.
Flashback
Before the change.
The first meeting.
I walked down the street heading towards my home. As I approached my house I saw a family was moving in next door. There were two parents and one child that I could see getting out of the car. As the boy got out, I could see he had the most beautiful green eyes. He turned and looked at me as I stood in front of my house.
"Hello, my name is Edward." He said coming up to me and shaking my hand. He looked to be about my age, 17.
"Be...Bella." I said stuttering a bit. He was beautiful. He laughed a bit then continued talking.
"Well Bella, you seem like a wonderful girl. Would you care to show me around tonight? As you can see I'm a bit new." That was it, that's how it all started.
Okay let me know what you think! I know it's short but that just means I'll update tomorrow! :)
