Sorry for the lack of updating, I know most of you have been waiting patiently, and I thank you for that, schools been hectic especially grade 10, so may assignments due at once, but I will try so hard for updates I love this story, and I hate not having time for it.
So here is the chapter you have been waiting for:
BPOV
Heidi had called me over, to her, interrupting my conversation, and kissing session with Edward.
"Yes, Heidi?" I asked, smiling politely at her, while she was clinging onto Luke, who was smiling, proudly at her.
"Why the shawl, the dress looks wonderful, without it, you should lose it" she suggested, giving me a one armed hug, before walking off, with look to the middle of the dance floor.
I turned to look for Edward, and saw him, watching me intently, like he didn't ever want to look away from me tonight, which was fine on my half, but it also kind of freaked me out, they way he just stared.
I went to take my shawl off like Heidi suggested, but let my fingers, drop from the fabric, once I remembered why it was there in the first place, to cover the fingerprints, blue and black, on my pale white, dead skin.
Instead I just walked up to Edward, and I swear, every time I took a step closer, his crooked smile would widen, getting more crooked, every step.
"What did she want?" He asked once I stepped into his embrace, tuning so my back was leaning into his chest, his chin resting on the top of my head, his hands wound around my waist, and mine lazily over his arms.
"Just to talk about my shawl, how she said she liked the dress better without it" I told the truth, what was the point of lying? As long as he didn't find out, what was under the shawl.
"Take it off" he instructed, lifting his hand to the top of my shoulder, and where he touched, stung a little and so of course I cringed away, which made him raise his eyebrows in question.
"I like it better with it on" I smiled a little, taking his hand and leading him to the dance floor. Ever since I became a vampire, my dancing was graceful, more than before, but not as graceful has what a vampire should be.
"You want to dance?" Edward sounded shock, and when I looked up into his eyes, they were full of humour and shock as well.
"Yes I do" I smiled, my arms wrapped up around his neck, his arms sliding so they were right on my waist, holding me securely.
We lightly stepped in a triangle, going to the beat of the slow rhythm of the music, what took me by surprise was, Edward spinning me around, making my shawl, fly from my shoulders, my neck shown for everyone to see.
He just kept spinning me, for the remaining time of the song, which I was happy about, he wouldn't see them, and when the music would end, I would run for my shawl, he would never know.
But of course it didn't happen the way I had planned, as the last note lingered in the air, Edward dipped me and lightly kissed my neck, and I felt his lips move along my collarbone, and then come to a sudden halt, his lips pulling back, his teeth bearing, and a small hiss escaping his mouth, as he quickly lifted me up, and took me outside, and down near the trees.
"What Edward?" I asked innocently, and knowing this would never work.
"What are these from, Bella?" he growled out, lightly running his fingers over the bruised fingerprints, imbedded on my skin.
"Me falling down the stairs" I answered, cringing away from his touch, as it still stung, when they were touched.
"Bella, we do not bruise" he stressed out all the words.
"Well, apparently I do" I argued back.
"Just tell me, there fingerprints Bella, who did this?" he hissed once again, his tendons, popping out from under is rock, pale skin.
"Nathan" I whispered, knowing I was going to fail; anyway I took this conversation, so I just gave up.
"Why would he do such a thing?" he whispered to himself, his eyes turning a solid butterscotch, his hands turning into fists, as he spun, and slammed his fist into the nearest maple tree, shattering its trunk into pieces.
"Bella?" I heard my name being called by Summer, from the hall inside.
"Edward, when you calm it, come inside, Summer wants me" I said as I huffed, and turned to walk up the stone path, on where Summer's voice was coming from.
"Bella, be careful" I heard his whisper, before I heard him sigh, and slide to the ground, taking deep breaths.
"There you are" Summer rushed up to me, "Nathan's looking for you, and he doesn't look very happy" she gushed out, then slowed down, "What's the bruises from?"
"Nothing" I mumbled, taking my shawl from her hands and mumbling a quick 'Thanks'; to her has I headed to look for Nathan.
"Bella" Nathan growled at me, yanking my arm, his nails digging into my skin, making me hiss in pain, as he dragged me to a door, that when it was open, had a dark stairwell, going up to the next floor.
He pulled on my arm was once again, his nails digging in deeper, making me cry out in pain, his hand flying out, to cover my mouth, to stop from making loud noises.
We got to the top of the stairwell, and he pushed me through the door frame, making me trip over my shoes, and flinging me to the ground, Nathan just laughed at me, and picked my up by the shoulders, in a rough way, dragging me across the dark cold tiles.
"Let me go" I screeched, struggling against his hold, which did no use, just making his hold on me tighten, and hurt me more, there was sure going to be more bruises on my pale skin.
"No" he chuckled, letting go of my shoulders, and placing his hands on my waist to lift me up onto my feet.
"Thanks" I spat at his feet, which made him push me down again, and grab my arm, and pulling me further into the cold, darkness of the room.
I heard silent chuckling coming from in front of me, more like a nervous chuckle more than anything.
"Why are you hurting me?" I asked out into the darkness.
"We don't mean to hurt you" a familiar, scratchy voice replied back.
"Who are you?" I screamed into the darkness.
"Isabella, it really hurts me deep inside, that you don't remember a dear old friend" the voice was closer, sounding like it was coming from my right, I swung my head to the right and right in front of my eyes, was a burning pair of red eyes, set in a chalky white face, with dark pink lips pressed into a tight line.
"Hello" he whispered in my face, after I screamed.
"What do you want with me?" I asked, knowing screaming wouldn't help, nobody could hear us.
"To join us" Aro, chuckled, still in front of me.
"No, not even if you paid me" I spat back.
"Well Isabella, this is where you are wrong" Nathan hinted.
"What do you mean?" I shouted out, into darkness once again, as I heard a door open and struggling footsteps coming closer to me, until I could make out the figure.
It was Edward.
"Let him go" I growled out.
"Not until we get you to do something in return" Marcus's voice travelled to me.
"Anything?" I whimpered.
"Join us" Aro stated.
Is this what I had to do, to save the people I loved?
There you go, I hope you like this chapter, I got a bit scared writing it, but that's only because I get nightmares easily, I hate that weakness, but oh wells.
