CHAPTER 14
-
Jacob sat frozen for a moment before he undid his seat belt as fast he could.
"Bella I need to go." He said fumbling to get out of the car, I put both my hands on his arm praying he would stay, the tears still dripped down my face.
"No, Jacob, stay! Stay! Please oh god please stay!" I sobbed; he shrugged my arms off of him and gave me an apologetic look.
"I got to go Bella; I have to make it safe for everyone, especially you." He said before looking at me one last time, opening the door and slamming it shut again.
I watched him as he sprinted and disappeared into the woods that surrounded me.
I sat shaken on the passenger's seat, not being able to process a thought.
Finally I moved over to the driver's side and turned the keys, my hands were shaking as I put them on the steering wheel and began to drive.
I knew exactly where I was going and turned the car around, racing down the empty road.
Every couple of seconds I had the urge to look over my shoulder or around me to see if a blonde devil was standing there looking straight at me.
I was scared beyond belief as I drove down the drive way to the house.
I exited the car, not even bothering to take the keys out of the ignition, and ran as fast as I could up the front steps.
When I opened the door to run in, Edward was standing there blocking me.
"Edward! Edw"- I was screaming when he interrupted me.
And then everything seemed to shrink around me, including myself. It was like all my worst fears were beginning to suffocate me. It was the look on Edwards face.
*
Sometimes the world seems like a horrible place.
"Edward, what's going on?"
"Bella, I think we should talk."
Horrible, horrible things happen, that you know you don't deserve.
"Bella… I don't think the wedding should go on."
It's even worse when you relive it all over again.
"You're leaving." It was more of a statement then a question and once again I was crying.
The tears never wavered.
"It's the best thing for you Bella, I am dangerous…it would kill me to hurt you."
His eyes stared down into mine, and I became dizzy. I needed something to hold onto but when I reached out for him he moved away.
"Is that all you got?" I said looking up at him, with blood shot- watered eyes. I probably looked pathetic; standing in front of him as he shined like every star heaven could compose while I stood in his shadow.
He looked at me quizzically, and I looked away as I answered his unspoken question.
"Is that your only excuse? You should have more then that." I said not looking at him, and then I mumbled "You sound like a broken record."
He heard that.
"It's just that, Bella, you seemed so happy with Jacob this morning and you have been not yourself these days and I was confused, but I have figured it out. Why should I stand in the way of your future? Why should I be the reason you can't be happy with Jacob for as long as you live. I don't deserve you Bella, and I will always love you, but I know that you could never love me the same way you love Jacob,"
It was a simple statement, a simple fixture of words and suddenly the Déjà vu was broken, smashed into tiny pieces of an unforgotten memory.
I had never heard this before, and now my head was spinning even more.
"But you can't leave Edward." I sobbed and reached for his hand once again.
"I have to Bella." He pulled away gently.
"I'm going to leave now." He said backing away, and I couldn't help but let a sob escape my lips.
"Goodbye Bella." It was only a whisper.
"No, No Edward don't please no please come back I need you!" I screamed as he left, but I was all alone.
I hadn't even noticed that we were outside. The sky was black, and it felt like there was no hint of light in the world. The wind roared and the trees swayed to the side.
I didn't know where he went, so there was no point in following him,
I thought ironically how the pain was so much worse the second time around,
or unless that's just because its happening right now and I'm convinced that last time didn't hurt this much.
I felt my feet as they began to move under me until I realized that the wind was hitting me in the face.
I was running.
I didn't know where I would go but I went with it and ran as fast as I could.
I was thinking to myself, how fast it was all happening.
Maybe I was running out of time.
A huge clap of thunder roared over my head and I kept running until my legs gave way.
I fell into the grass face first and screamed. And screamed and screamed.
The tears were now drowning me and the thought kept repeating over and over and over again in my head.
I failed.
I wasn't going to get back, I wasn't going to be with him, I wasn't going to save Edward.
Oh Bellaaaaa…
My head darted upwards, as fast as a bullet I scanned the perimeter. Nobody was there, but in the blackness beyond the trees that surrounded me in the forest I was in, I saw something move.
Oh Bellaaaaaaaa…..
I heard a high pitched, little girl like, giggle.
"Who's there?!" I demanded into the loneliness of the swaying and empty trees around me.
"Guess who."
I jumped, the voice sounded right in my ear and I darted around.
Nothing was there.
"I know its you Emily."
Nothing happened, until a couple seconds later when there was another giggled somewhere in the darkness of the trees.
"You remember my name."
"WHERE ARE YOU, EMILY?" I screamed, the birds in the trees flee.
" I'm right behind you Bella." I darted around again, searching the trees with my eyes.
"Come out Emily!" I said grinding my teeth, She giggled again.
"You remember my name." She repeated,
"I remember a lot of things." I said, still walking in a circle looking into emptiness.
Suddenly the wind stopped howling, the trees stopped swaying, and everything was dead silent. I turned around, and there she stood, in an old fashion white dress looking like a dead little girl, she was staring at me with unnatural electric blue eyes.
"Do you remember when I killed Edward?"
I screamed and ran at her with my arms out in front. I didn't even think it over before I remembered she was a vampire and I was a human.
She grabbed my arms with no hesitation and threw me in the air. I flew back into a tree on the other side of the meadow.
She cocked her head to the side.
"I'm going to kill you Bella." She whispered and moved like lightening until she was standing in front of me. I had hit the tree so hard I could feel the hot stickiness on my head and arms and her eyes widened.
I knew I couldn't put up much of a fight because I was slowly sinking into unconsciousness.
Blackness overwhelmed me, and I knew I had to keep my eyes open.
I felt as she sunk her teeth into my throat and began to drink all I had inside of me.
It was funny because I didn't feel the burn of the venom, the sting of my gashes, or the pain in my back.
I couldn't feel the pain.
I felt her as she pulled away from me and I knew I must have been dead, I was done with, Sucked dry.
But I could still hear my heart faintly beating, and then I remembered that this was when I had been changed. Something made Emily stop from killing me and now was the moment I would find out who had saved me.
I tried my hardest to open my eyes but my consciousness was slowly fading, my vision was blurry but I could see the golden orbs staring down at me with shock and agony,
And I barley felt as he picked me up in his stone cold arms.
Thats when the blackness overtook me.
