Chapter 5

Bella POV

I arrived exactly at nine, just like Mike had told me to. I was ready to refuse the job he had given me when Mrs. Newton appeared.

"Bella!" She said and hugged me. "Mike told me you were back in town. How was Phoenix?"

"Oh hot, sunny, that sort of thing." I said with a smile. I was feeling happy this morning. The clouds were even lower than normal, it made me feel like I could just reach up and touch the sky.

"So are you ready to start working?" Mrs. Newton said with a big grin. At that exact moment I noticed she was holding a broom.

"Uh…sure" I said with as much enthusiasm as I could muster. I couldn't disappoint Mrs. Newton when it seemed she really did need the help. She handed me the broom and walked back into the office she had recently emerged from.

I started sweeping from the front back; it seemed to be a smarter move seeing the first thing the customers looked at was the front. I swept the floor and then started to clean the windows.

The windows were filthy. It seemed as if they hadn't cleaned them in a year. It took about three wipes with Windex so the outside world could be visible from the inside out.

I swept the rest of the store and soon Mrs. Newton informed me it was lunch time. I decided to head back to the hotel. I needed to get away from that store.

Being inside that store reminded me of Charlie. I sat on the bed or about ten minutes looking blankly at the forest through my window. I hadn't noticed I was crying until I saw my reflection on the glass. I turned to the clock beside the bed; I still had twenty minutes of my lunch break. I poured cold water on my face, trying to take away the puffiness of my eyes. The hotel room wasn't helping me get rid of this heavy set feeling at the pit of my stomach, so I did the next best thing.

I went for a walk in the forest.

I went through a different route today then the last time I walked in the forest. This one stayed closer to civilization and town. After walking for about ten minutes I came to a fork in the road.

I didn't know which one to take, so I took the one on my left, it looked like it would stay closer to town than the other.

After five minutes of walking, the path proved me wrong, I kept weaving further and further into the forest, but my mind wanted peace so I kept walking, hoping to find it. I walked for a while, I was pretty sure my lunch break had been over for a long time but I didn't care, I just kept walking.

I came up to a clearing that had logs scattered around and I was getting tired, so I sat on one. I decided that once I was rested I would head back to the hotel. I had been sitting on the log for a while when I heard a twig break.

I had a bad feeling about this. I opened my eyes but did not move. I didn't want to scare the animal that had come near or put myself in danger if it was an aggressive animal. I kept still searched for any movement. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a movement and when I looked closer it was a mountain lion, stalking his prey, which was me. Of course this would happen to me!

It was moving stealthy slowly, no doubt sizing me up, and looking at the best way to approach me, to attack me. I had been stupid once again, ignoring Charlie's warning from long ago.

I decided it would do no harm if I moved; I was going to become a meal anyways. I slowly moved my head to get a better view of the lion, when it jumped out from behind the tree and launched itself at me.

Before I could react the lion was on the ground dead, its head twisted in the most bizarre way and next to it was the most beautiful man I had ever seen in my entire life.
