A/N Hey guys! So, here is chapter 2. Tell me what you think, or if I should just stop there.
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight and everyone knows that.
Edward never arrived at the ball. The entire ride home I couldn't stop worrying about him. Where was he? How was he? Why didn't he show up? I couldn't stop thinking about he didn't show, and the escaped convict was still out there.
When I got home, there was a note on the front porch steps. I took it and went straight to my room, ignoring my mother's protests. When I was sure I was alone, I ripped it open and read it over and over again.
Dearest Isabella,
I am greatly sorry I did not attend tonight's ball with you. I was busy setting up for something else later tonight. Please meet me in the park at 10:30. I have something I would love to show you.
Yours Truly,
Edward Cullen
Of all nights for a surprise, he had to pick this one! It was a relief to know that my fears were silly and that Edward was safe. I only had one problem, how was I going to get to the park without my father's escort, and knowing him, I would be protected at all times.
It was a quarter to ten and had time to plan how I was going to get out of here. It was so easy to escape, I did it all the time, but now, how would it go when someone killer was on the loose? I wasn't sure this was possible. Still, I managed to escape twenty minutes later to meet Edward in the park.
I was paranoid the entire way there. Every sound and shadow made me jump. Every animal made me pause and look around. I finally made it to the park and sat on the swings. I waited for Edward. I was early enough that I knew he wouldn't be here yet.
A few minutes earlier I saw a man walking towards me. I stopped swinging and stood still. He kept advancing, and I knew, without a doubt, he wasn't here to socialize with me. I never thought that the man would be here.
"Hello Isabella. Shouldn't you be at home right now? It's not safe here at night. I think Edward would be very worried about you, but he's a little bit preoccupied."
"What have you done to him? Where is he?" I knew coming out here would be a risk, but I took it anyway, for Edward. Now this man is coming up to me and telling me Edward is a little busy.
"Not just him, my dear. Your entire family. Mother, father, Edward, Angela. They all are a little busy. But, I will let them go if you give me what I want."
He had Edward, my mother, father, Angela. He had them all, and he only wanted me.
"Let them go, and you can have me. Just let them go and do whatever you want to me."
"Are you afraid of death, young one? I know Edward would be miserable if you died." I needed to save him, he was more important.
"No." I had no reason to be. I had nothing left in me. Everything was drained in me. Everything was gone. He told me that he had my family. That was everything to me and he stole it.
He kept coming towards me the entire time, while I, being stupid, just sat on the swings. He was so close that I could smell his breath on my face. Amazingly sweet. "Are you sure, Isabella? I wouldn't like to se you get hurt."
"Let them go and you can have me. You can do what ever you want to me." And he did just that. He put his lips to me neck, and told me I would thank him for it later. I never would.
Then he bit me. The fire engulfed that one little spot, but it kept growing and growing, my body feeling hotter and hotter the whole time.
So, how was that? Review! Please?
Preview of Chapter 3:
I saw only a grieving
family. One that has lost a loved one.
