I smiled at him quickly with my heart pounding and climbed into my truck. I turned the stereo on. I was just about to put in gear when the door opened so abruptly, I nearly fell off my seat.
It was Mike, looking more handsome and more vicious than ever. I tried not to scream as he snarled.
He grabbed me into his stone cold arms and dragged me out of the car. One hand was over my face, while the other was over his own. I was in his arms, against his waist. I couldn't scream and I couldn't breathe. My eyes were blind by the stone of his hand as I felt the wind rush past me as if we were running.
My legs slammed against things, and the next second, I could breathe and I could see. I slammed against something awfully hard and I don't remember much of anything else except a heavenly familiar voice.
"Get the hell away from her." Edward snarled.
Then I blacked out.

Getting them away from here was fairly easy. I suppose that Edward was so captivated by Swan that he didn't even hear my crude thoughts to murder him and his girl. I grabbed Bella and dragged Edward.
He put up a good fight and growled viciously at my thoughts of torture, but I still won. Newborn strength, after all.
I had to throw Bella a good ten meters when Eddie got free and tackled me. It sounded like loud thunder. I hoped that I had ran them far enough away so that no one would hear.
I wasn't a murderer, if I could help. This was purely revenge, and thirst. I grabbed Cullen and threw him off of me, holding him down with two hands. I dragged him partially over to where Bella lay and kneeled on his chest, pushing all of my weight against him.
With my free hands, I placed one at Edward's throat, digging and pushing down so he couldn't move other then his thrashing legs and with my other hand, I grabbed Bella around her throat and raised her into the air. This was pathetically easy.
"I am really surprised at you, Eddie." I said casually. He screamed with fury. "I thought you were the all-seeing mind reader. I was almost positive that you or Alice would stop me."
"Why?" Edward growled.
"Why not?" I smiled.
The thirst was building up. I was surprised that I could resist so long. I had to resist. I had to have this one last moment of revenge before they hunted me down. I had to do this to the girl I thought I had loved and the vampire that took my life and freedom away.
I glanced at Bella. She was stirring. Her skin felt so… breakable beneath my grasp. I knew that I could kill her right then. I couldn't do that – not until she watched me hurt Eddie-boy.
Very carefully, I lowered Swan to the ground, leaning her against a tree so she could watch. Her eyes fluttered open in terror as she took in what was happening.
"Hey Bella." I said through my teeth.
I was stronger than Edward was, but not by much. He was putting up a fight. Bella was silent for about five more seconds. She looked away from my face down to Edward's face under my hand.
"Get off him!" she shrieked.
She clawed her way off the ground and tried to throw me off her. The idea was comical to me. I laughed and pushed her back into the tree with a little too much force. She moaned in pain. Edward winced very audibly.
Now was the time, the thirst wouldn't be fought with for much longer. If I was going to do this right, I had to do it now.

Not her.
I tried to run out of the car, I tried to save her. He got there first. How had I not heard him coming? It was infuriating that it was my fault that the only one who had ever touched my heart was being dragged away by my worst enemy. Bella's eyesight must have been blurred as he dragged as further into the bush. With vampire eyesight, I saw every branch strike her face and every rock hit her body.
I tried to get out of his grasp to save her, but I knew that I would only be able to kill him once we were away from the school. Even in this mortal danger, I couldn't risk exposure. He was too strong, the damn newborn.
This was purely revenge, and thirst. He thought angrily.
So I stole Bella from him so he was going to kill us? I growled and tried harder to escape.
Not Bella, not her. She couldn't die, she couldn't even have one hair on her head be damaged. She would live. She had to live.
This was my entire fault! One half-day of pure bliss, away from the madness of our normal life and she was going to be a victim at my hand? I was wrong to involve someone so innocent and pure… wrong not to pull Jasper off of this murderer…
No. Not her.
I spun around violently and tackled him. This was another mistake. Had I not realised that if I got his hands free, Bella would be dropped? Dropped is an understatement. She was thrown about ten meters. Newton and I crashed into each other. I hoped that we were far enough away that no one could hear. I didn't want to have more murders at my hand because of him. Bella cried out in pain and I was distracted by my own anguish.
He took advantage of that and spun me around so he was over top of me. He dragged me to where Bella lay. I longed to reach out and stoke her cheek, right before I died. It was my dying wish.
This was pathetically easy. Newton laughed mentally.
I practically roared.
"I am really surprised at you, Eddie." He said casually. I screamed with fury. "I thought you were the all-seeing mind reader. I was almost positive that you or Alice would stop me."
He was right. How had I not heard? I suppose that I had been distracted at being happy for the first time in a century. How could he break that without even caring? How could he hurt such a beautiful girl, just because I took her away? He never loved her, not even a little. Bella had always been a took to him – someone to brag about but not be loved. And here he stood, not even guilty with the thought about murdering us! I didn't mind dying with Bella, I just minded that Bella was dying with me of all people at the hand of someone like Newton. How could he?
"Why?" I growled.
"Why not?" He smiled wickedly, pleased at my pain.
I gaped at him. He slowly lifted his fingers off of her throat and placed her on the ground.
I was pleased that she hadn't suffered much damage, she opened her eyes at the very least.
"Hey Bella." Mike said nastily.
Bella looked at him for what seemed to be an eternity. Was she grasping the danger she was in? She looked away from his face into directly into my eyes. Her warm, brown eyes were filled with worry, and fear, and love…
"Get off of him!" she yelled at Mike.
Even when I knew I was about to die, the words still sent warmth through my veins. Even at the very end, Bella cared about me. She didn't want to see me under the grasp of some idiot like Newton.
She got up and crawled over to where I lay. She actually tried to pull Mike off of me. Bella really did try to risk her life to save me. I was instantly furious. I wished that I could communicate, try to make her see reason. I was strong enough to distract him, she could run far away from here. She didn't need to die with me.
Mike pushed her back violently. That son of a bitch.
Now was the time, the thirst wouldn't be fought with for much longer. If I was going to do this right, I had to do it now. Mike thought.
Not her.
