Okies, so I was on MSN talking to my cousin and after like twenty mintues of posting this story I had little emails come through...it was so awesome...but now my cousin thinks im insane, not that she didnt know that already...buy still....yay...
Thanks for all the reveiws and stuff...they are more awesome than watching Jacob dive off a cliff...(I'm a Jake fan BTW it would just be pretty cool to see him do that...)
All the while she never said a word to me, just kept her beautiful eyes downcast, her mind not giving me anything either. So I was surprised when she opened her lips.
"You're a v...vampire." she stuttered out, I was buttoning the last button on the shirt and I looked into her eyes, the brown was shimmering,
"Yes" I replied simply, she took a deep breath, the air hitting me in a gust,
"Are you...going to kill me?" her voice was low, shaky, could she really believe I was going to kill her?
"No, I told you, you were safe here, I won't hurt you." She had to believe me. Her body tensed when I spoke the words and her eyes clenched shut,
"That's what he said, he said, he would never hurt me...but he did...so many times," she whispered the last parts, her voice barely audible. My anger flared again, a tear slid down her cheek and my hand went up to cup it, she jumped when my hand touched her skin. My thumb brushed away her tear,
"I promise, I swear not to hurt you." I whispered at her, she must hear my sincerity; she had to know she was safe here. Her eyes met mine again; they never failed to amaze me, their depth, their shade, their overall beauty.
"I didn't want to go with him," her eyes pleaded with me to believe her, my chest contracted painfully. "But he was so strong," she shook her head, my hand dropped from her face, more tears escaped her eyes. I yearned to take her pain away but I just stood there listening to her.
"I had no one, nowhere to run, my family died when I was little, I don't even remember them." she opened her eyes and stared at the floor just to the side of me, "it was so dark and cold, I had nowhere, and he said he would keep me safe. He took me to his room, and I didn't want to, but he was too strong, he was so strong. He kept holding my wrists, I remember bruises on them." She looked down at her wrists and traced them with her fingertips. "I didn't move, he didn't like that, I had to move, to..." she closed her eyes and shook her head, I could imagine too well the things he made her do, my anger resurfaced but she continued.
"Then when I didn't...I thought he was going to kill me, but he left...when he came back he had this little girl..." Bella ran her hands around her wrists, never meeting my eyes; I stood and listened to her story, my heart breaking when fresh tears welled up in her eyes,
"She was only tiny, so small, she was crying, she was so scared...he said if I won't...then she will, but then he grinned at me," she was fidgeting with her hands, frantically rubbing at her wrists. "He grabbed her tiny neck and leant down, she tried to scream, I tried to scream...but it was too late...I thought that night would never end...I had so much of her blood on me..."
Her hands were pulling at her wrists, scratching them, I moved my hands up to take them away, but my arms pulled hers around me, and encircled her instinctively,
"it never ended, every night...I thought I would never die, Edward I wanted to die...why wouldn't he let me die?" her voice pleaded with me, begging me to give her an answer as she sobbed into my chest, her body shaking against mine violently.
"Shh Bella its okay, you're safe now, he won't be coming back." I didn't know what I could say to her that would comfort her, I wasn't even sure this creature could be comforted.
I guided her over to the sofa, which had to make do as a bed for her now. She still cried out into my chest, clutching at the material with her tiny fingers, I sat next to her, listening to her mumble incoherently through her sobs, until she fell asleep. Her shaking slowed and stopped long after the cries, her breathing evened out and her heartbeat rested. I looked down at the angel in my arms and watched her.
Her face was peaceful; she looked beautiful in her rest. Although her face still shined a little with her tears, and her skin was red, she still looked amazing. I smiled at her, gently brushing her warm cheeks with my hand, drying her tears.
"Please," she mumbled, so quietly, her face fell from its peaceful slumber and she hid it in my chest, her hands clutched onto me, I lay perfectly still, torn between not wanting to wake her and not wanting her to dream about whatever was making her twitch and murmur like that.
"Please stop, don't..." her hand clutched onto me even tighter. I silently cursed the world in my head, was it not enough that this angel had suffered? Did she have to relive her torture through her dreams?
"Bella shh" I tried to reach out to her; maybe her subconscious would hear my plea. When my hand touched her skin she awoke, she jumped out of my arms and flew across to the other side of the sofa, shaking and looking around her, when her eyes laid on mine she calmed, she stopped shaking but didn't make her way back over to me. Instead she wrapped her arms around herself and put her head on her knees. Her breathing slowed again and I knew she had fallen back asleep. I carefully, slowly, pushed her down so she lay back on the fabric; she curled up on her side. I retrieved the curtain blanket from the floor and wrapped it around her.
I sat and watched her through most of the night, occasionally her body would tense up and her eyebrows would knit together, she would press her face into the sofa, those things never hurt as much as when she would cry out, she would beg for him to stop.
As much as I didn't want to leave her, I knew she would be hungry when she woke; I wasn't exactly stocked up on food, when the sun had risen and she still hadn't woken up, I decided to get her the things she would need.
