Red Delicious

Chapter 3: Revenge Is Sweet, My Dear.

BPOV:

As soon as Edward jumped out of my window, I turned around to go to my closet to pick out something to wear. Today I chose to wear one of my favorite T-shirts. It was a dusty blue, and had red roses with green leaves on it, Along with a pair of comfortable blue jeans.

As soon as I finished getting dressed, I went to brush my teeth and put the front part of my hair up in a barrette. Then I went back to my room and turned on my computer to check my E-mail. I had two from Renée. I opened the first one and read,

"Hey Bella,

Phil and I miss you so much. How is your Thanksgiving break going so far? Is all well with Charlie? How is Edward doing? Well, I have to go, Phil is taking me out to eat somewhere nice, I don't know where though, he won't tell me.

Love you,

Mom"

As I finished reading, I thought "Phil sure is keeping her happy." Then I went on to the next one. It read,

"Bella,

Why haven't you E-mailed me back yet? Please write back soon!! I'm getting worried.

Love you,

Mom"

I clicked the "Reply" button and once the page loaded, I started typing,

"Mom,

Don't worry, I'm fine, Dad is doing fine as well. Take a chill pill. My Thanksgiving break is going alright. Edward and his family went on a camping trip, they'll be returning on Monday. I'm glad you and Phil are getting along good. I hope all is going well in Jacksonville!

Love you too,

Bella"

After E-mailing Renée back, I decided to go downstairs and get some breakfast.

I was facing the cabinets, trying to choose one of the cereals that looked appetizing, when I heard a loud bang come from upstairs.

As I was climbing up the stairs, I was hit so fast I didn't know what happened or see it coming until it was too late. I went flying into the air and hit the floor at the base of the stairs, cracking open my scalp in the process. As I tried to get a hold on my nausea, In my blurred vision I saw the one thing I never, ever wanted to see again in my life: Victoria.

"Ah, we meet again, Dear Bella." She sneered my name as if it had burnt her tongue.

I was terrified, I tried to crawl away, but did not get far. She took my by the shoulder and flung me into the wall. As my body sank to the floor my vision blurred even more, making it extremely hard to make anything out. The only reason I knew it was Victoria that was closing in on me was that big splotch of red hair.

She had my neck in her hand in a flash, holding me up against the wall. "You little bitch! Don't ever think you can get away from me!" she yelled.

I tried squirming out of her grasp, which was not a good idea. She squeezed my throat even tighter in her iron clutch.

I was beginning to black out from lack of oxygen and blood when she said, "Revenge is sweet, my dear." She was closing in for the kill.

"Edward, I love you" was my last thought, before everything went black.

APOV:

We had finally arrived to our destination. After hunting for about 30 minutes, Jasper and I were chasing each other around in the forest.

Jasper was chasing me when a vision stopped me dead in my tracks, and he bumped into me. This was not a good vision, Victoria had found Bella, and we left her unprotected.

"NO!" I screamed, Jasper was desperately trying to comfort me.

"EDWARD!!!" I screamed for him in my thoughts. Less than three seconds after I screamed his name, he appeared in front of me, a terrified expression on his face. He was about to say something, but I cut him off with the vision.

He didn't say anything, he just bolted out of my sight, on his way to Bella.

EPOV:

I was just closing in on a Mountain Lion when Alice's frantic scream entered my thoughts. "EDWARD!!!"

I aborted my mission and ran full speed towards her.

When I stopped in front of her, I was going to ask what was wrong, but she interrupted me, she sent me a nightmare of a vision: Victoria found Bella, unprotected, and attacked her.

I bolted away, and ran full speed towards Bella's house.

I just prayed I got there in time.
