Chapter Two
Disclaimer: I don't own twilight. Stephenie Meyer Does.
Bella POV
I felt the truck hit the water, and the black waves of death slowly went over hood. I tried to breathe slowly and easy, trying to calm myself. It didn't work, especially while the water was going over the windshield, causing me to panic.
Now is when I wished that Jacob was here with me, as the air was getting colder. He is my own personal sun. His note was still in my pocket, feeling ten times heavier on the fact that I may never see him again. If I ever get out of this, I will see him again, no matter what it takes, and forgive him. I'll be nicer to Charlie. And Edward, I hope he gets here. Surly Alice would have saw this. I wanted to see my family again, preferably alive then in a wooden box.
The water was above the truck now. I was surprised that no water was entering the cab. But just as I thought this, I heard the windshield crack, and the sound of water slowly entering, as black as night, and as effective as the deadliest substance on earth.
Edward's POV
I just finished pouncing on a mountain lion. As I was feeding on the sweet blood, inching down my throat and soothing my thirst, I heard Alice coming.
"Edward," Alice spoke. I growled loudly. She is so annoying sometimes. You'd think that she has never learned not to bother a guy while the feast, especially one who is giving her a ride home, and maybe the car of her dreams. I finished my meal, feeling satisfied and looked up to her.
" Edward, its about time. While I was waiting ... never mind, just watch this."
I went into her mind, just as one of her visions started. I saw Bella in her truck, grumbling about the weather and focusing on the road. I noticed it was hard to see, especially for a human. She was paying so much attention to it, she looked so cute. My Bella...
Bella was on Liberty Bridge, when bright lights from a black car filled the cab. It was right in front of her. I saw Bella panic and swerve to miss it. The wet pavement didn't allow the truck to stop and I saw the truck leave the bridge and hurl into the waters below.
The vision ended and I looked straight at Alice.
" Call 911, we won't be able to get there in time. I hope her truck can withstand the pressure of the water." I started towards the Volvo, and waited for Alice to get in. Alice was dialing her phone before hissing, "Edward go, I'll get a ride with Carlisle and explain what's happening. Hello 911... I wish to report an accident..." was the last I hear before pushing my car to the max to save Bella.
Charlie POV (Yes, lets add the worried dad, what do you think)
Ring, Ring... the phone rang. Didn't I just get off that thing. Must be famous today or something. I heaved from the couch, and turned off the game. Won't get to see much of it anyway. I answered the phone.
"Hello, Charlie speaking"
"Chief, You got to get to Liberty Bridge. We just got a call, and apparently an old Chevy truck just went into the river. We need you there." It was Deputy Mark. The truck's description sounded familiar. It was Bella's.
"Mark, I'll be there in 5 minutes, make sure that an ambulance gets there." I slammed the phone back into its jack. Raced upstairs with speed that I never knew I had. Within two minutes , I was in my cruiser and jamming the keys into the ignition. I turned the key, ready to hear the engine start. As I waited for the engine to catch but it just kicked. I tried again and had the same results. I got out, into the freezing rain and looked under the hood. One of the cords was cut, that was supposed to connect to the batteries. If I wasn't mad before, I'm fuming now. Someone was trying to keep me from saving Bella, someone who was trying to kill Bella.
Bella POV
The water was to my neck. I was taking my final breaths, using the last of my energy in my desperate attempts to escape. Edward, please come here and save me, please. I'm not ready to die. I looked out the window and saw a dark shadow approaching, with speed only vampires. Edward was my first thought. As it came closer a smaller silhouette appeared coming towards the truck as well. One of a girl. Alice maybe?
They were outside the window, but it was too dark to see their faces. The water was over my head now over my head, and I was fighting to keep conscious. I felt the window break and a pair of freezing, but strong arms pulling me towards the surface and place me gently on the ground. I could see the bridge, and hear sirens in the distance, and looked over to where my saviors were. They were sitting in the shadows away from the light of the fire that I guess they lit before the truck went in the water. I was surprised it was staying lit in this rain.
"Long time, no see" said one of the people in the shadow. It wasn't a voice that I recognize. And they stepped out of the shadows and into the light of the fire with their blood red eyes. I found myself staring into the bright red eyes of Jane and Felix.
