The sun was nowhere to be found while I got into my truck. Today was one of the many days I would encounter Mike and try not to notice his watching eyes; but I do. The ride to work is nothing I haven't seen a hundred times before; trees, trees, and trees. But today was different, today I was actually paying attention to the cars and people around me living a normal life. Then I felt it, emptiness. Even though emptiness is not new to me, this was unusual. My heart felt as if it gave out on me, my lungs popped like balloons, and my eyes began to water.

I could see the store around the corner and I pressed my foot down on the pedal, hoping that my truck would go speed limit because I did not want to be trapped in here with that person, me. I pulled into the parking lot and parked in Employees parking only. I got out of my car and that is when I saw it, the light. I turned my head toward the forest behind the store and saw the light disappear deeper into the trees. I took a few steps forward.

"Bella?" Mike called from the entrance, I ignored him. I made my way toward the light that was dancing around the trees. I was in the forest when I realized that the light had vanished. "No" I choked out. I then heard a rustle in the trees and I swung around and gasped. The light was right in front of me resting on the finger of the stunning man. But it wasn't the stunning man; it was another man who was just as beautiful. He had longer hair and lighter eyes.

"Hello again," with a crooked smile on his exquisite face. "Err...hi." Was all I was able to choke out.
"Bella, right?"
"Ye...yes." I said
"You really shouldn't be out here by yourself. Where's Edward?" My head jolted up and I looked at him with bewilderment. "Oh C'mon I had to. I mean look at you Bella; you're pathetic; crying over some guy. Well he wasn't just any guy; I mean he was a vampire. But he left you Bella, get over it."

Bella, I need you to listen to me love. I need you to run. Run and don't look back. A magnificent sensation went through my body when I heard his velvet voice in my mind. I looked into the stranger's eyes and saw danger and intimidation so I decided to listen to his voice. I ran two feet when fingers wrapped around my wrist and pulled me closer to his body. "Help! Help!" I began to shout constantly. "Like that will help" I heard him mutter under his breath.

I then felt my feet leave the ground and we were flying. But that isn't possible, humans can't fly. His arms tightened around me and pushed my face into his chest as if he knew I was questioning his strength in my mind. After a long moment he landed catlike on the ground and released me.

I lost my balance and fell to the ground. He laughed, grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet. Once I was balanced with both feet on the ground I looked around and saw that he brought me to the house that I have been avoiding for months; The Cullen's.

I looked at him and noticed that he was watching my reaction. I continued gazing at the marvellous house that once belonged to my beloved Edward; I flinched at the sound of his name. The house looked the same but was missing something; a family. It was dark inside with absolutely no sign of life.

"Why did you bring me here?" I asked. "Because, I thought it would be fun to see you slowly break down with every memory that replays itself in your mind, torturing you. Oh, I'm Damon by the way. Damon Salvatore." I wrapped my left arm around my torso, keeping the pain packed in. "Oh and that. Why do you do that? It won't make anything better it will just make it worse." He added.

I swung my head up and I didn't even try and keep the tears from running down my face. "Are you going to kill me?" I said through sobs and moans. His eyes went black and he exposed his teeth that were extraordinary; he had fangs. I gasped and stumbled backwards. He leaped toward me and I closed my eyes and clutched my chest. After a long moment of feeling nothing, I came to the conclusion that I was dead, I had to be.

I opened my eyes slowly and saw the blue skies that were covered with gray clouds. The clouds covered the sky like paint on a canvas, I must be dead Forks never looked so beautiful. I pushed myself up with my arms and was shocked with how stiff I was I stretched my arms and legs and looked around. The atmosphere was fresh and innovative. I breathed in air and let my eyes explore my surroundings and that is when I saw him, staring at me. It was the beautiful man that I met in the forest yesterday, Stefan Salvatore. Salvatore why does that sound familiar? Oh, I'm Damon by the way. Damon Salvatore. My muscles tensed and I could feel my knees about to give out on me.

"Am I dead?" I asked. He didn't say a word; he just took miniature steps toward me until he was a safe distance away. "I'll take that as a yes," I muttered under my breath. I took a step toward the stunning man and he took another one back. "I won't hurt you," I informed him taking two steps forward. "I won't hurt you," I repeated. I was inches from his face when I felt a sensation ooze out my body and run through my veins. I wanted to touch his face and trace the model-like features of his face. I began to raise my hand up near his face when he flinched away from me. "I'm sorry, I...I..." He tilted his head towards me and began to look into my eyes continuously searching for something. He opened his mouth, ready to say something but a noise in the bushes distracted him and he was gone.

"No," I whispered and that is when I felt it again, the sensation. It ran through my veins like a burning fire. The pain was too much that I collapsed onto the ground. I wrapped both arms around my upper body while moans and croaks escaped from my mouth every few minutes. My eye lids closed, pain took over and all I could see was darkness.

I was walking, no running. I was running from the man who had taken me to the Cullen's house; Damon. My legs grew weaker and weaker with every step I took and my throat closed up and I was powerless. I made the mistake of slowing down and looking back, he was right behind me looking at me with empty eyes and a smile that screamed danger. He leaped forward and I fell to the ground with him on top of me staring into my eyes. He tilted his head from side to side not breaking his gaze form my eyes and said, "Hey, are you alright? Bella, wake up."

My eyes remained closed but I could hear everything around me, like the leaves being crushed under feet and the rustle of clothes. There were two people hovering over me, I could sense it. I then felt one person's cold fingers caress my face.

"She's okay," one man said, it was Stefan.
"Let me see," the other gentlemen said, his voice reminded me of one of an antagonist, a villain; it was Damon. I could feel his breath on my face while he looked me over; the smell of his breath was sweet and refreshing.
"Damon what are you doing here?" Stefan asked
"What? I can't come visit my brother and see what he has been up to?" Damon responded with menace and sarcasm in his voice.
"No."
"Hmmm," I could hear the leaves being crushes under his footsteps while he made his way around me. "She's a beauty isn't she?" Damon said while tangling his fingers in my hair.
"Stay away from her." Stefan sounded protective
"Does she even know your name Stefan? Does she know what you are?"
"Leave her alone!" Stefan shouted. Damon's fingers left my hair and he continued to walk around me to stand next to Stefan.
"You know I'll get her and that terrifies you." Damon said laughing. I've heard enough. I moved my head to the right, giving them a warning, and then I opened my eyes and was alone.

***

All day at school I thought about Stefan and Damon. I thought about how Damon kidnapped me and brought me to the Cullen's house and how non-human he was. I thought about Stefan watching me in the forest when I thought that I was dead and I thought about the conversation they had when they thought that I lost consciousness.

The ride home was just as bad. I thought about most of the things that I was thinking about in my classes and lunch but I also began to think about their appearance. I mean it was hard not to, they were beautiful. Their features were perfect, almost as perfect as Edwards. Stefan's green eyes were carved into the back of my eyelids; his eyes were all that I saw.
