Chapter 11

Punished

Anna:

Emmett and Jasper practically dragged Eddy through the door. I was startled.

"What's going on?" I cried.

Edward collapsed onto the floor, shaking with tearless sobs. Everyone else looked heartbroken. I rushed to Eddy and grabbed his arm.

"Eddy, what's wrong?" I demanded.

"You killed her! You selfish witch, you killed Bella!" Edward screamed.

I was shocked. She had died? How? That wasn't supposed to happen! She was just supposed to marry Jacob!

"She died?!"

"You told her Edward didn't love her. She committed suicide because of you!" Emmett thundered.

Edward staggered to his feet and grabbed me. His eyes burned with grief and hatred. He snarled deep in his chest and then threw me out the door. I sat on the grass staring at him as he came towards me. I panicked.

"Edward, Edward, please! I didn't know! I didn't know that she was going to kill herself! She was just supposed to marry Jacob so I could have you!" I sobbed. Just then Jacob came around the corner of the house.

"You made her die! This is all your fault!" he yelled at me.

"Jacob, you helped! You were helping me!"

"Don't try to pass this off on someone else!" Alice growled. "We know who is to blame!"

As I stared around at their faces, I knew that I was alone. More alone than I had ever been in my life. And then Bella walked around the corner.

"Look! Look! Bella! She's right there!" I screamed.

They all turned to look, but their eyes went past her.

"Bella is dead! You killed her!" Edward snarled.

I was seeing things! Was she a ghost? I was frightened. I had always feared the dead, even when I was human.

"Anna," Bella spoke, "Why did you lie to me? Why did you kill me? Why, Anna, why me? Now I can never be happy! And neither will you!"

I screamed. I screamed and then I ran. I ran as hard and fast as I could but no matter how fast I ran, I knew that it wouldn't be fast enough because you can't out run a ghost.

Bella:

I burst into laughter as soon as Anna ran off. Edward had to catch me before I fell over. I leaned happily into his cold arms. And he was laughing with me.

"Oh, Edward! How did you know?" I managed between giggles.

"I was engaged to her, remember? I knew her fairly well. She feared death and she was very superstitious. The touch about the ghost made the whole show!" he gave me a beautiful smile. "She'll never move without looking over her shoulder again."

"Just how long do you plan on torturing her?" Jasper asked.

Emmett grinned. "We could play it up, you know, go find her every ten years or so and rattle the bushes, whisper, whatever, just to keep her scared! I'll do it, please let me do it!"

"Oh, I don't know. Maybe in a few hundred years I'll admit that Bella was never dead. But until then, she can take her punishment," Edward said. He was being overly modest about his brilliant show idea. Personally, I thought that we could take it to Hollywood.

He smiled down at me. "I'm just glad that you're alright," he whispered against my cheek. I kissed him for a moment and then burst into giggles again.

Jacob cleared his throat uncomfortably. "Um, Edward, I uh . . . I'm sorry about all of this."

"Don't worry; I would have done the same thing in your shoes. Granted, I would have done it better, but . . ." Edward smiled.

"Thanks. Oh and Bella?"

"Yes, Jacob?"

"Save me a seat at the wedding, will you?"

Yippee! That was the last chapter. The story is over. Sorry!

If your going into withdrawl, you could always go read my new story called 'Baby, I'm a Vampire' ! Please?

And even if you don't, please send me a good bye review!
