Edward's point of view:
After leaving Bella in the bathroom, I began to prepare her something to eat. Thankfully I only had to prepare it and not to eat it seeing as it smelled really gross to me. Never mind as long as it tastes good to Bella I thought as I put it on a plate. It was then that I heard her coming down the stairs, fortunately without tripping once. Smiling she made her way to me and I just couldn't resist kissing her again. Even though it took me much self control to restrain myself from hurting her it was definetly worth the effort. After tasting what I made for her she told me that she really enjoyed it making me start to beam with happiness and proud. After all I couldn't taste it and see if it is any good and it was still delicious to her. Upon seeing my expression she started laughing at me. Now I was confused: what was so funny? Now was definitely one of the moments I really wished I could read her mind. It was absolutely frustrating to not know what she is thinking.
Finally she was able to form a coherent sentence again: „Sorry! It was nothing important!"
Sighing I shook my head: „Sometimes I really wish I could read your mind and understand how your mind works."
„But what would the fun in that be!" she said making me laugh. I knew that she was actually quite happy that I couldn't read them.
„So are you ready to go?" I asked her after she finished earting her „tasty food".
„Sure, let's go!"her enthusiasm made smile her favorite crooked smile causing her heart to speed up and my smile to widen.
As soon as we were on the road my thoughts started to dirft. I thought of Bella and me. I relived all the good memories we made in the meadow. The whole ride was actually quite aside from some questions I asked her that came to my mind. Once we were there I felt Bella stiffen. At first I was confused the whole time she was so eager to go to the meadow and now she hesitated. That was when I realized it. We would have to run. To low for her to hear I chuckeled.
„Don't worry Bella. Just keep your eyes closed, then it will be okay.!" I assured her.
„Let's get it over with!" her sigh was almost pitiful. I helped her onto my back and laughed to myself when she clung to me as if her life depended on me. Then I started to run loving the feeling of the wind in my face. But suddenly I smelled something I wasn't expecting. Blood. I stiffened instantly and stopped. The blood was in the meadow and it was actually pretty much too. I could feel the thirst burn in my throat. Thankfully I was just hunting yesterday.
„What's up?" I could hear Bella ask timidly.
„Something has happened. I smell blood. The meadow is full of it." I was worried. But aside from the one person lying in the meadow the area seemed deserted.
„What?" she exclaimed shocked. I dropped her of of my back and stepped protectively in front of me. I couldn't let anything hurt her.
„Stay behind me Bella, okay? Don't worry, I'll keep you save. And do as I tell you, please!" I squeezed her hand and then we slowly made our to the meadow. I kept searching the area for anything strange but fortunately no one seemed to be here. Bella's heart was almost breaking out of her chest because it pounded so fast. Finally we reached the meadow. It was just as I had said full of blood. Bella who was beside me staggered a little probably because of the blood so I held tighter onto her hand. In the center of it lay a girl that was about Bella's age if not a little bit older. Her breathing was shallow but she was still alive. A wonder considering all the blood she must have lost. Her injuries looked really bad despite the distance. Bella was rooted to the spot behind me and a look of shock and incredulousness grazed her features. I had to do something I had to help the girl. Carlisle. I needed to get Carlisle. So I turned to Bella and looked intently into her eyes trying to calm her.
„Bella? Are you okay?" first I had to made sure she was okay.
„I'm okay. But she isn't! Who would do anything like that to someone?" she said her voice breaking once.
„I don't know, Bella. Listen, I am going to look what I can do for her. In the meantime, you are going to call Carlisle, okay?" I tried to keep my voice low and soothing and handed her my cell phone. I kissed her softly on the cheek before I made my way to the poor girl.
The blood made the monster within me want to come out, the desire to taste the blood burned in my throat. But even though her blood was everywhere Bella's blood was still more tempting to me. In the background I could her Bella talking to Carlisle. She sounded frantic, I couldn't blame her.
Slowly I made my way over to the girl as to not scare her even more than she already must be after all that happened to her. In order to soothe her I started talking in a calm and low voice.
„Hello. My name is Edward. And this is Bella, my girlfriend. Don't worry we are here to help you ,okay?" at the mention of Bella her eyes flickered to her for a second but came to rest on me again.
I kneeled down beside her to examine her injuries. Who ever has done this knew what he was doing. Anger wasn't the cause for those wounds, somebody must have tortured her to such an inhuman condition. Her arms had tremendous cuts just like her legs. Her whole body was actually full of them. What seemed strange to me was that she was still alive, every normal person would be dead if they lost that amount of blood. Then her eyes fixed themselves on me looking at me in bewilderment.
Suddenly she grabbed my arm with much more force than I ever expected from anybody in a condition like that. Then my vision got blurry and pictures started to dance in front of my eyes. It was like one of Alice's visions but still different. All of a sudden I saw our house. The whole family was in the living room including me and Bella, who was about to open a present. The banner on the wall said it was her 18th birthday, which wasn't due to another week. Then the unimaginabel happend the paper sliced through her finger making her blood drip on the floor. The last thing I saw before my vision got misty again and the scenery changed was the whole family trying to stop Jasper from attacking my lovely Bella. It was like a nightmare seeing my only love shortly before being attacked by my own brother. How could I let this happen to her. But before I could think about it any longer I saw myself in a room with Alice. I told her we had to leave Forks and Bella behind in order to keep her safe. Admittedly, I had thought about leaving her to achieve her safety but I never imagined that I would really go through with it. I couldn't imagine my life without her, it would be worthless. Suddenly I saw myself in the woods together with Bella. She looked devastated and had tears in her eyes. Then I heard my voice telling her I didn't love her anymore and that my family was going to leave. It sounded so cruel and emotionless making me shudder. I lied right into her face and the worst of all was that she really believed me. How could she believe me after all those times I told her how much I really love her? Then everything happened pretty fast and I saw several pictures. Bella lying in her bed looking lifeless... Charlie telling her mother that she won't eat anything... Her in front of a group of criminal looking guys in Port Angeles with a terrified looking Jessica behind her... Bella standing in our meadow with Laurent ready to attack her ... Werwolves saving her. Werewolves?! ...Then I saw myself curled up in a ball letting misery have me. I've never seen myself like this... But the last picture shocked me most. Bella stood in front of a cliff preparing to jump. With on last look over her shoulder she jumped.
Then it ended and I found myself in the meadow again. Horrified I took some steps back away from the girl and her visions. Could that have been the future? Could it be so miserable for me and especially Bella? I knew that if I left her she would be sad at first but I thought she would move on and have a normal human life. Would she really go as far as to kill herself?
„That can't be possible!" my voice seemed distant to me and I could hear it shaking but at that moment I really didn't care. Then I realized that Bella stood beside. Thank god! I grabbed her without hesitation and clung to her desperately. She hugged me back even though she didn't understand what was going on. Finally I could her Carlisle coming, his thoughts were full of curiosity. When he came in sight of the scene his eyes widened. What has happened here, Edward?his thoughts asked me. Unfortunately I couldn't give him an answer to his question seeing as I wanted to know the answer just as much as he did if not even more.
To be continued...
So that was chapter 2. I hope you liked it. Please tell me what you think!!
