Werewolves' Revenge
Chapter 2- Seeing in the darkness
Bella was starting to stir now. She'd never know I'd gone except for the fact I'd changed my clothes. Bella looked peaceful, miles away from any problems or worries. She opened her eyes and looked straight at me.
"Morning." She said with a smile rubbing sleep out of her eyes. She looked so beautiful when she'd just woken up. I smiled back at her, but it wasn't a true smile. I was worried about what Alice said. Our future's had disappeared. We knew what it meant… Werewolves. But not why. What would bring us to the Werewolves? And why us and no one else?
"Are you okay?" Bella asked. She was more observant than I gave her credit for. She knew something was wrong.
"Yes." I said, "I've got to go and see Alice though, she's fussing over some wedding detail. I'll be back later." I pressed a soft kiss to her forehead before jumping out of the window leaving her puzzled behind. I was home in seconds. Everyone was gathered round.
"Have you seen anything?" I asked Alice. She shook her head.
"Just darkness. But it's coming closer. I don't know when, but it's soon." I turned and looked at Carlisle for some explanation.
"I've been over it Edward. But I don't understand why it's just you, Alice and Jasper. Perhaps it will be no more than a talk." I nodded, but I highly doubted it. The Werewolves were up to something, we just didn't know what. Without Alice we were blind. Something was coming, but we couldn't see what. I stepped to the side with Carlisle.
"If something happens will you look after Bella?" I asked. He nodded. In the end I didn't care about anything else other than Bella's safety. I returned to Bella's after with Alice's words echoing in my head It's coming. I'd promised Bella that I'd never leave her again, but I wasn't sure that if the darkness came whether I'd be able to keep my promise. I knocked on Bella's door. Charlie answered.
"Edward." He said. I nodded at him. Things were only slightly better between Charlie and me. And nearly every time I saw him I saw a flash of Bella, lifeless after I'd left her, in his head. Each time I flinched minutely. Bella stood in the kitchen waiting for me. She stared at me her eyes tracing my face.
Something had happened. Something she wanted to hide from me. I could tell. But in the end Bella didn't have to tell me. Charlie told me.
"I don't know if you've heard Edward. Bella just got a call from Seth, you know from La Push, Jacob's back." He said with a bright smile. I didn't have to read his thoughts because it was ringing out in the room. Jacob's better for Bella.
"I was saying to Bella." He continued, "She should visit him just to see if he's okay." I nodded and forced a smile.
"Yes. That would be nice." Charlie smiled and returned to the game he was watching. Bella was looking at me.
"I don't have to go. But I want to see if he'd alright." She said.
"It's okay. You can visit. I'll drive you to the boundary if you ring." She smiled brightening up. She practically ran to the phone only stumbling once on the way there. I watched her. I hated Bella to be out of my sight, but I hated to make her unhappy. She'd been fine at La Push before. I was sure she would be safe this time.
Jacob was back. It seemed a little more than a chance that the day my future had disappeared Jacob came back. Bella was smiling on the phone. Jacob must have agreed. It didn't seem to add up though. Jacob left because of Bella and now he was back he wanted to see her straight away. It didn't make sense. But then again maybe it did, perhaps what Alice had seen was making me question everything. And anyway I wouldn't stop Bella going. She put the phone down.
"Dad is it alright if I go down to La Push?" She asked.
"Yea. Don't be back late. Ring me if you're staying over night." He replied with a wink. Bella blushed. I stared at Charlie, but didn't say anything. I hated the way he liked Jacob more than me.
"Bye Bels." Charlie called as we left the house.
"Where's your car?" Bella asked. I laughed.
"It's quicker my way." I said putting her onto my back and setting off through the trees. Bella seemed more used to my running than before, for a start she could walk at the end. We soon reached the boundary. I stopped and Bella slowly climbed off my back slightly shell-shocked. I smiled brightly. She looked at me and smiled back.
In the distance I could see a car approaching. Jacob was coming. He stopped about a hundred metres from where Bella and me stood. Jacob climbed out of his car and grinned at Bella. I leaned down and kissed Bella feeling delight as I heard Jacob disgusted thoughts. It was a reminder that she was mine. Bella smiled at me before setting off over the border.
I watched her the whole way across and watched her hug Jacob. She was about to get into his car when it happened. Two Werewolves leapt on top of me pushing me to the ground. I'd been so focused on Bella I hadn't noticed their approach.
"Edward!" I heard Bella cry. I lifted my head slightly to see Bella struggling against Jacob who was stopping her from reaching me. I threw one of the Werewolves off me but it was replaced by three more.
They were all coming now five, six, maybe more. They were moving me, dragging me away. I struggled against them but there were too many. As they pulled me I could hear Bella's screams. My Angel. I'd broken my promise. I'd left her again and I'd left her with a Werewolf.
