I do not own Twilight or Vampire Diaries.
Chapter One
Damon POV
How could I be so stupid? I should have known Katherine wouldn't be there!
Damon was once again trying to cope with the heart break Katherine had caused. After all this time, to find out she wasn't locked in the Tomb was something he was not expecting. He ran through the woods at vampire speed. As he was running, he caught a whiff of Cold One stench. There was a smell he hadn't smelled in almost a century. He decided to track it.
The scent led him to a forest. He kept enough distance so that he knew the Cold One wouldn't smell him. With his keen vampire hearing, he could hear the conversation it was having with a human.
EDWARD I don't want you to come!
BELLA You don't... want me. EDWARD No. I'd like to ask one favor though.
BELLA Anything.
EDWARD Don't do anything stupid or reckless -- do you understand? ... for Charlie's sake. Just... take care of yourself.
BELLA I... yes... I will. He softens ever-so-slightly. EDWARD Don't worry. You're human. Time heals all wounds for your kind. Particularly if you're not reminded.
BELLA No, this is - don't do this. Please.
EDWARD Try to understand. Every second with you is about restraint. You're too fragile. I'm tired of pretending to be something I'm not. Reining myself in so I can be with a human. BELLA Then take my soul. I don't care! I don't want it without you --
EDWARD You're not good for me, Bella.
EDWARD I promise, it will be like I never existed. Goodbye, Bella...'
At this point, Damon rushes away. All of this is too hard for him to listen to knowing that Katherine feels the same way about him as this Cold One does about this Bella girl.
Bella POV
She sees a leaf falling to the ground where he grazed a branch; the only indication of his direction. She hurries down the path, then runs -- BELLA Edward?! -- and she keeps running, going deeper into the woods... Bella runs through the woods, searching, reminiscent of her opening dream. It gets darker and darker, until we're deep into night --
Bella trips and falls to the damp forest floor. She looks up, the trees spinning around her. She remains on the ground curled into a ball. Darkness shrouding her. Devastation paralyzing her. Bella hears the faint sound of her name being called in the distance. A search party. She's too wrecked to respond. Rain begins to pour; she doesn't register it. She begins to hear an animal sniffing. It gets closer. It sounds large. Scary. Then she hears a whisper
EDWARD (O.S.) Move, Bella. She lifts her head, looks for Edward... but sees something else instead. she sees a dark shape looming in the distance moving toward her. Its eyes reflect light for a split second; they're inhuman, savage. Bella, terrified, manages to drag herself to a cluster of trees. She squeezes between them. Breathing hard. She closes her eyes, trying to disappear... . Bella's eyes open to find herself being carried.
Sam Uley, 20, emerges from the woods carrying Bella.
BILLY It's Sam Uley. He found her.
Charlie bolts to her; he's never moved faster in his life. He wraps his arms around Bella, lifting her from Sam's arms.
CHARLIE Thank you, Sam. Thank God.
Charlie carries Bella to the house.
CHARLIE What were you thinking, Baby? Why were you out there?
BELLA He's... gone.
