I stepped into the house my hands shaking. Edward's kiss had taken me by surprise. It had only been one night. But then I realized the other reason why my hands were shaking the not so good reason. I tip-toed up the stairs hoping my parents had fallen back asleep but that was a little bit too much to expect seeing as I wasn't in my room. They were very worrisome and for all I knew they probably had phoned the police.
I don't mean to state it as though it wasn't a big deal but I didn't care how much my parents got mad at me, that kiss from Edward had meant the world to me. My parent's anger would never change that.
Neither of my parents were in their room, although there light was turned on and there bed wasn't made. I stopped moving for a second and heard a voice from downstairs. I decided that it was my mom, it sounded like she was on the phone but I couldn't make out what she was saying.
"Should I go down there" I thought to myself "or should I just climb in to bed and pretend like nothing happened"
I figured that the second option was the easiest but I was sure it wouldn't do much good to my parents when they were probably worried sick about where I was. So I decided on option 1.
I ambled down the stairs not exactly thrilled about this. What was I going to tell her? But I decided that I just have to go down and tell her the truth.
As I started to walk downstairs my mother's voice started to get less and less familiar. I guessed it was just her voice in panic mode.
"Mom, it's me" I called down before I could see her. I needed her to calm down.
She didn't answer. I got to the bottom of the stairs but it wasn't my mom sitting there on the sofa. It was a woman with long flame red hair, her eyes gleamed a bright red. This was not my mom.
"Hello, Bella." Her voice was calm but her smile told me that she was not as calm inside as she was on the outside.
I started to run up the stair but before I could get to the top she grabbed me by foot dragging me back down the stairs, my chin banging the wood.
"What's the hurry" she spoke again, this time her smile was wider.
My heart was beating so fast, so hard. I would be surprised if she couldn't hear it herself. Where were my parents? Who was this lady? What did she want from me?
"Do you want your parent's to live" she grabbed my throat, so tight that I couldn't breathe. I struggled trying to make her let go but her hands would budge. I couldn't get air to my lungs I was going to die if she didn't let me go. What was she doing with my parents?
I was going to die there was nothing I could do about it. These were my last few seconds of life. I closed my eyes waiting for my life to end.
"Victoria, let her go!" It was Edward.
