Chapter 1.
A/n this occurs
during the fight with the newborns during Eclipse. But obviously I'm
changing the outcome slightly..... What if Edward had forbeyed Bella
from going to the bonfire? She would have never have herd the story
of the third wife, and there would be no shard of rock distracting
Victoria, and Edward would have been exposed to her full fury and
drive for revenge. It would mean that there was clouds in the sky,
there would be no eclipse, only the sun and the moon.
Disclamer:
All twilight characters are property of Stephenie Meyer, who I am
not!
I can't believe this is happening. Edward is dead. He
was so completely worried about my safety, how fragile my human body
would be compared to the infalliable body of a vampire. But he was
wrong. A Vampire is only infallible against a human, vampires are not
infallible against another vampire. It was all my fault!
As
Edward lay in chunks of white marble in front of me, much like what
Michaelangelo's David would look like in peices. I felt the room
spin, but I was determined not to let go. Seth and Victoria were
still fighting. The constant growls and snapping were evidence of
that, though I could only see the blurr of the fight, they were
moving too quickly. The ferocious sounds echoed off the cliffs
surrounding me. I had to get out. For Charlie, for Phil & Renee
and for Jacob. I turned and ran through the forest, just like Alice
had seen in her vision. I ran aimlessly, branches wipped my face and
I fell constantly, expecting that at any moment she would come for
me. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and Victoria was livid.
Her hair, bright as a flame would spring through the trees &
pounce like an animal and I would die. I fell again, loosing momentum
and a sense of hopelessness hit me.
The sense of Deja Vu was
inevitable. I was in a ball on the forest floor and Edward had left
me, again. This time it was for good. There was no sense that I
wasn't good enough, though I knew I never was.
I jumped when I
herd a feint rustling and I knew that she had found me. She must have
killed Seth! Poor Seth, poor Sue, poor Leah! First Harry, now Seth!
He was just a kid. This had gone on too long. Too many people that I
loved have died for me. I was marked for death ever since that first
Biology lesson, so long ago.
But now, I was resigned to my fate
and I stood up. There was no use in any form of self defense. Renee
had good intentions in us taking lessons but for who I was fighting,
it would be no match. I was a mere human, dabbling in the world of
make believe. My boyfriend, no fiancé was a Vampire and My
occasional best friend was a werewolf. And to top matters off, I was
desperately torn between the two. Two worlds, one each for those I
loved. Poor Jacob, he had tried for so long to make me realise that I
loved him, and only now, that I was about to die would I realise
this. But better he knew, I wish I would have come out of the denial
sooner. But all of this was irrelevant now. As I herd the sound
getting closer, I touched the charm bracelet on my left wrist. I
looked over the crystal and wooden carvings and took a deep breath, I
wasn't going to wait any longer. There was a difference between
being dragged into the ring, and walking in with your head held high,
proud of who you are.
"I can hear you, I'm here and I'm
waiting!"
I herd the noise & realising how close it was I
shivered. I didn't feel so much like the terminator, much more like
the cowardly lion. But I was resigned to my fate. I touched the
bracelet again, remembering all of the people that I loved, that was
all that mattered now. I saw the flash of red closing in and closed
my eyes, waiting for her to take me......
