Authors note:
Sorry, I know I said I would update sooner but due to some family problems and a little thing called the Twilight DVD I was unable to update until now.
Yes, I know I said I would finish in Edward's point of view but I think the story might work just as well if not better in Bella's. If you have any opinions or suggestions about the POV's that I'm using Please let me know.
Also there has been a question about the Doctor's timeline. This story takes place after series four and after "The Next Doctor" but before "The Planet of the Dead" I hope that clears some things up.
Last but not least:
I've put links to the pictures that go to this story on my profile as a result of non-Doctor Who fans queries. If anyone wants pictures of anything from my story please let me know and I will gladly post them.
Also I have a picture of Bella's locket up. You may remember it from Chapter One. It becomes important later in the story. Anyway I've made a few edits to my first chapter, nothing major just a couple of small things. I've changed the locket from gold to silver (for no particular reason just that I found a picture of a nice silver one) also I noticed that I put Bella in Levis and later in the story I said she was wearing skinny jeans so I fixed that and to clarify she is wearing skinny jeans.
That's all for now. I'm trying to keep up with replying to my all reviews so I'm sorry if it's taking me a while to reply. I really do appreciate everything. Enjoy my latest chapter, this was a hard one to write lol!
This chapter was posted early thanks to Raven-Rach's stealthy ass cleverness when it comes to abducting laptops and beta-ing.

Chapter 17
Bella's POV
I could not believe what I was after doing.
I tried to kill a poor, innocent human and to make things worse it was my Edward. Well, he would someday be my Edward but that fact didn't lessen the pain.
I couldn't control myself and I had completely given in to my instincts. I know the mouth-watering scent I smelled is no excuse, but it was like I was watching someone else do it and not me. I must have terrified human Edward and his family, and god only knows what my Edward thinks of me now.
I wouldn't be surprised if he disowned me. I'm a monster. I bet Emmett and Jasper will be laughing about this now as they were both betting when I would slip up. Well now they got their wishes, I was now the lowest of the low.
I had even stooped to hurting my husband by throwing him into a piano just so I could get what I wanted. I resent myself for doing that and the fact I didn't even think twice about it. It was like the scent and my thirst had taken over my body leaving me with no control. I wanted to go over to him and help him after I committed the terrible act but the scent was too strong and it lured me to it. It was like I would stop at nothing to get what I wanted.
Edward had his arms wrapped tight around me, pressing me to his chest. Holding me down I assumed. Dry sobs began to consume my body, trying unsuccessfully to release my pain and remorse. He began to rub circles into my back as if trying to calm me. That made my sobs and pain worsen. I did not in any way deserve this reaction from him.
I was a beast, a total barbaric monster.
A vampire.
For years that's what I wanted: to be a vampire, but really I just wanted a way to be with Edward forever. I didn't want this, This pain and unbearable guilt. I hated myself and Edward now probably hates me too.
I wouldn't blame him if he did either. He has every right to despise me.
I'm the stubborn and selfish Isabella Sawn who would destroy the person she loves just to taste the smallest amount of blood. I wasn't the self-controlled Bella Cullen anymore and I didn't deserve to be.
I buried my face into Edward's chest, inhaling his familiar but loved scent to distract me from the delectable scents that floated around me. I still could not believe the way he was treating me with this complete care and love. I didn't deserve it especially after what I had done to him.
Suddenly I heard Edward gasp. Almost simultaneously I heard dozens of human screams explode from outside.
I looked up to Edward, his eyes were wide with shock. I turned slowly in his now slightly loosened grip and followed his gaze.
Shock and total incredulous bewilderment were now the most prominent expressions on my face. Overruling my self-hatred that was there just moments ago.
I felt like screaming, I couldn't believe my eyes.
There was some sort of monstrous creature materialising right in front of us.
I looked to Edward's human family and they had the same look of confused shock plastered on their faces.
It was more than easy to blame myself for what happening. I knew full well that this was all my fault. It's always my fault and I will forever be cursed into hurting the people I love.
Edward took a step back, pulling me behind him. His hold on me becoming tighter than before but this time instead of trying to restrain me he was trying to protect me.
The image of the creature became clear as a spine tingling growl escaped its murderous fangs.
I never before seen anything like it. It was grotesque. Enormous. It had deadly sharp claws with despicable, killer wings which spread, practically taking over the most room. Its eyes were the deepest, menacing crimson I had ever seen, more terrifying then any human-blood drinking vampire eyes. (A/N: Picture on my profile)
I heard screams escape from the mouths of the humans in the room but it was only possible to hear them due to my vampire hearing, otherwise the killer growls that were erupting from this monster would have completely drowned them out.
Quicker than I could react, the monster began to plunge itself towards Edward and I. Thankfully Edward's reflexes were quicker than mine and he picked me up and ran for the window, mustering up all the speed he could.
It was the same window we had entered the house through, though this time he didn't wait to open it. He just jumped straight through it. The glass shattered into millions of pieces but we both knew that we would be unharmed.
When we made it into the street my eyes widened even more. It was not the peaceful slumbering town we ran through earlier. It was now a place of chaos and destruction.
Not only was there the monster that was chasing Edward and I but there was several of them literally devouring the screaming people running in the streets. People were trying everything to get away from them but they were just too slow.
Suddenly the monster from inside the house came crashing towards us through the walls of the house.
Everything was happening so fast.
Edward put me down and squeezed my shoulders with his hands.
"Go as quick as you can to the back of the house. There's an entrance to a basement. Get in there and hide. If I'm not back in five minutes bolt the entrance and don't come out after me," he said quickly and seriously, while staring straight into my eyes.
"No! Edward, I won't-," I yelled back before he interrupted me with an all to brief, abrupt, rash, hard and uneasy kiss on the lips.
His eyes were pleading so to my better judgement I took one last look at him and turned, taking one step away before dropping his hand.
I ran a fast as I could, my fear and separation from Edward pushing me on. I didn't look back. I jumped over a fence and around the house, quickly following the path that lead me to a small garden at the back of the house.
I quickly scanned my surroundings and there was no sign of any of those monsters following me. I found the entrance to the basement at the side of the house. I effortlessly pulled the doors up due to my strength and jumped in with out using the provided steps while slamming the doors behind me.
It was dark but I could still clearly see. I noticed a large padlock with keys and a chain on the table. Obviously they belonged to the basement entrance.
Speedily I ran over, grabbed them and hid under the table, resting my back up against the wall while I bent my knees up tucking them into my chest with my arms wrapped around them. I had the lock placed beside my feet.
I hated being away from Edward but I hated what he was doing to me now even more. I know that he was just trying to protect me by sending me away, but who would be there to protect him and what was he even doing?
I would wait and do what he said: hide for five minutes then lock up. I would follow his orders even though it pained me to do it, I knew exactly what locking up the entrance would symbolise though I wasn't ready to register it. I would do it because he asked me to and after all he's done for me it's the least I could do.
Everything was happening so fast it was overwhelming. Once again I hopelessly begged for tears to join my desperate dry sobs but I knew that they were one type of release I would not be granted.
I waited as screams and chaos raged above me, while counting the seconds in my head.
As every second passed, my pain twisted even more ferociously. Apart from the counting my mind was concentrating on my worry for Edward. Where was he and what was he doing?
3 minutes 59 seconds, 4 minutes and 0 seconds, 4 minutes and 1 second…
The counting clamed me a little though I still knew that this mess was somehow my fault. Today started out so perfect, now I'll probably never see my daughter and husband again… but I wasn't ready to give up my hope just yet.
4 minutes 35 seconds, 4 minutes 36 seconds, 4 minutes 37 seconds…
Still no sign of Edward. I began to panic. The screams and crashes seemed closer and louder then before.
4 minutes 58 seconds, 4 minutes 59 seconds…
I let out a low agonising cry as I said aloud:
"Five Minutes...."
