(The boy's POV)
I ran through the street, diving into a dark alley. I wasn't really scared, but I knew I had no chance against them. They just were with to many to take on. But then again, what did I do to make them my enemy? It wasn't like I provoked them, was it? I didn't say anything to them and I didn't do anything either. Maybe I was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. But I would never know.
They followed me and I walked backwards, a dead end… Behind me a wall, the fire escape on my right, a closed door of a hotel on my left. No one would see me if they would beat me here, a dumpster blocking the sight. I was dead. I knew that much and I accepted it, no one would come, no one would look for me, no one would miss me…
"Do you finally see that there's no escaping?" One of the bullies sneered and the rest laughed. They circled me and came closer, a bat resting on one of the boys shoulder. The rest boxing their hands together to look more fearsome, not that that worked for me, I was trapped and was willing to accept it, no fear, no worries, nothing.
I felt I was pushed and I stumbled backwards. Sprawled on the ground I waited for the beating to begin… And it began.
I felt the kicking and punching, the hits of the bat and heard the jokes and sneers of the boys. A dull pain, a trance-like state, took me over and when I closed my eyes, I felt my conscious slipping away.
Three new voices came from next to me and then I heard people run, shouting towards each other.
"Are you alright?" I heard a voice ask, one of the new voices, a girl, near me, but I didn't think it was for me, so I didn't respond. Then an ice-cold pair of hands grabbed my arm and hand and then I felt a ice-cold pain seeping from my hand, spreading to the rest of my body and I finally lost my conscious for real.
(Bella's POV)
Alice had bitten the boy and now Jasper was staring with clear bloodlust in his eyes to the boy, Alice was still sucking blood and both their eyes were dark, black. I panicked, how did you stop a vampire from killing their prey. I decided to try whatever came to my mind. Not that that was much, I wasn't very creative and I couldn't concentrate since I was afraid they would start with me as soon as the boy died. Now I did want to be bitten, but I wanted to be a vampire and not a dead body lying at the backdoor of a hotel.
"ALICE!" I called, but nothing happened. I called again and her dark eyes, and Jasper's for that matter, glanced at me quickly before returning to the boy. I stepped towards her and shook her shoulder, calling her name again. "Alice, stop it! You said you wouldn't kill him!"
Shock came to her eyes and she stopped, whipping the blood of her mouth with her hand. I turned to Jasper, who know seemed ready to attack and I quickly grabbed his wrist, knowing that wouldn't hold him if he would try, but it was better than nothing.
"Jasper! Go hunt, I will be with you in a minute!" Alice said, ripping a piece of cloth of the boy's shirt and wrapping that around his hand to stop the wound from bleeding. Jasper threw her a look, shook off my hand and disappeared from sight. Alice scooped the boy in her arms and told me to get on her back, which I did reluctantly and then she ran full speed to our rooms. Laying the boy on the couch and setting me on the ground, she fled from the window to hunt for herself. Leaving me with the new soon-to-be vampire.
