BPOV
I awoke the next day, it was about noon. I was quite luckily for it was one of the rare sunny days we had. Good no rain, for now at least. I carefully stood up. I winced as i felt the pain of my injuries. Owwwww, I think d-Charlie broke some of my ribs. It is going to be a very long day, might as well start heading to Port Angelas. I started off towards the city.
I was just about there when my stomach growled. Oh that's just wonderful...how am i supposed to get any food. I don't have any money. hmmmm i could steal it. I quickly walked into the city and sat on a bench. No i won't do that unless i don't come up with a better plan in a few days. I got up from the bench and started to wander around the city. I was constantly searching the ground for any change that someone could have dropped.
After about a few hours of random wandering i had found 1 in coins. I searched around the city some more and found a doller tree. I walked in and found a loaf of bread. The lady at the register gave me a weird look as i paid for the bread. I wonder what her problem was?
I walked out of the store and started heading back to woods. On my way i saw a cop car so i hid behind a dumpster.Ewwww it smells! Once it passed i continued my walk back to the woods, I passed a music store on the way.
I will have to check it out when i can. I finally made it back to the woods. I should find a nice spot to sleep, that will stay dry and keep me safe. I started my search immediately, i looked for a while. This is hopeless. Just as i was about to give up I found a large tree with a hollow that went straight through the bottom. Pic on Profile. Perfect! I quickly went in to the hollow and ate a few pieces of bread. I sealed the bag back up and fell to sleep. It was far from a peaceful one though.
A few days later
I've gone to the city everyday to see if i could find any more money and everyday i go home empty handed. I'm becoming weaker and weaker by the day and my bread ran out last night so i think it is time for me to resort to stealing. The wound on my shoulder hurts like hell, i think its infected. Stupid Charlie. So i am now heading to that music store to see who i can take a wallet from and get away. It is getting dark out so i should probably hurry up.
A few minutes later i was standing out side of the music store. This is it. I took a deep breath and then entered the store. There weren't many people, there was an old grey haired lady behind the counter, and a deathly pale, bronze haired, teenager. He looks around 17. The teenager walked up to the counter and set down his wallet on the counter. His cell phone rang so he walked few feet from the counter to talk.
Perfect, it's now or never. I took my chances and darted forward. I snatched up the wallet and ran out the door. I could hear him yelling after me but i was to terrified to concentrate on what he was saying. Run, Bella, Run! Run faster! I ran as fast as i could into the woods but of course i tripped right outside of my make shift home. Crack! Oh crap that didn't sound good. I think it was my rib.
Right after that thought wave of pain hit my arm and chest. Yep definitely my rib. I looked at my arm, the slash Charlie gave me had ripped itself open. I was gushing blood. Crap that's definitely not good. Stupid Charlie. I slowly/painfully crawled into the tree hollow. I was freezing and in an emence amount of pain but was able fall asleep clutching onto the wallet for dear life. After that the only thing I remember was the feeling of someone picking me up and putting me into a warm car.

YES! Peace and quiet at last! Each couple in my family decided that they wanted to take a vacation for a few months so i was left to watch the house since i was the only single one. To celebrate the absence of every ones thoughts i decided to go to the music store in Port Angelas. I ran out to my silver Austin Martin AMV10. Pic on Profile. I love this car! I sped down to Port Angelas.
I arrived there in about 20 minutes which is pretty quick considering it usually takes an hour to get from Forks to Port Angelas. I glanced at the clock as i parked the car. Please be open. It was 7 PM. Yes it doesn't close until 9 PM. I looked at the sky to see the sun go behind the horizon. Good now there is no chance of me sparkling. I nimbly jumped out of the car and locked it. I walked into the music store and started browsing.
I looked around for about 10 minutes before I found a few decent Cd's that i didn't own. I heard someone enter the store so i decided to listen to there thoughts. He looks around 17 she thought. OK that is really random. I grabbed the cd's and brought them up to the counter.
I then pulled out my wallet and set it down but as soon as i did my cell phone rang. It was Alice so i decided to stand a few feet from the counter to talk. I quickly opened the phone and put it to my ear. "Hello Alice." I said sweetly. Perfect - the girl thought. What the hell! "Oh i just wanted to tell you my dear brother to be careful where you place your wallet." she replied and then hung up. What is that suposed to mean?
Its now or never - the girl thought again. What the... Then I heard the pounding of running feet, I turned to see a young girl no older that 6 grab my wallet and run out the door. Shit my wallet. I ran out of the store leaving the Cd's on the counter and chased human speed after her. I yelled a bit but it was no use she just kept running. This will be interesting.
Run, Bella, Run! Run faster! - were her only thoughts as she ran into the woods. Why would a 6 year old need to steal a wallet? I ran slowly after her so i could wait until she fell asleep to get my wallet back. Then i heard her fall, followed by a sickening crack.
Oh crap that didn't sound good. I think it was my rib. - she yelled in thought. There was a slight pause.
Yep definitely my rib. - she sighed. The smell of blood washed over me and the burning in my throat increased but it was still manageable.
Crap that's definitely not good. Stupid Charlie. - she thought again. I wonder who Charlie is? I could she the young girls form crawl slowly into a tree hollow. Does she not have a home? I could hear her teeth chattering as i approached but it quickly slowed as she fell asleep. I looked into the hollow to see the young girl, Bella is what she called herself, clutching onto my wallet for dear life. I also saw an empty bag of bread.
She can't stay out here she will freeze to death or by the smell of her wound die of infection. I guess she is coming with me. I carefully lifted her out of the hollow and started to run vampire speed back to my car. Her clothes were ripped and dirty. Her body was covered in bruises and by how light she feels, she is probably underweight. She also has a gash on her arm that looks like it was made by a knife about a week ago and is infected.
It probably opened up when she fell. When we arrived at my car, I quickly opened the passenger door and set her in the seat. As i was about to put on her seat belt, my hand brushed across her ribs, and i could tell some of them were broken. Well i can't put her in a seat beat now so i guess she is sitting on my lap for the rest of the ride. What happened to this little angel. Whoa did i just call her an angel.
I scooped her out of the passengers seat, shut the door and ran over to mine. I opened in and sat down slowly with her on my lap. I carfully shut the door and turned the car, and heater on. I stepped on the gas pedal and started to speed home. This is going to be an interesting few months without my family.
