I curled up in a ball and let sadness find me. I cried for many reasons. I was lost in the middle of the woods, I have no possessions, I would never see my mother again and if I didn't die out here then Phil or James would surely get me. What was the point in living when I was pretty much going to die anyway. After what seemed like hours, my eyes were dry and I could feel that they would be bloodshot and puffy. I pushed myself up again, almost falling over from the weight of my body, and began stumbling through the greenery. I carried on walking aimlessly with a blank mind, not knowing how much time had gone past. My feet began to hurt too much to carry on so I just sat down by a mossy tree trunk and watched wild rabbits darting between bushes. I tried to think about my father and that I'd be with him soon. Tears of happiness slid down my face silently but they turned into pure fear when I heard a branch snap in the near distance. I searched franticly in the darkness to see what was going on. I stood up, clutching to the tree, as silently as I could and I began to power walk into the black. I heard more crunching and snaps in the distance so I started jogging but the sounds were always right behind me and then I broke into a flat out run, sprinting into the distance. I should have known not to run. I fell over something and just saved myself with my hands but when I turned around there was figure standing in the way of the path I just came through. I held in a scream. A sudden light shined into my face and when it flashed back to the figure, I saw who it was. Laurent. He was James' 'sidekick', as I preferred. He'd always been kind to me- so why would he do this? I'm guessing he saw the confusion and horror on my face.
"James asked me to find you... To bring back your heart." The scream threatened to escape my lips. Luckily, only a whimper got out.
"But-" He continued "I can't do it to you Bella. I can't." I looked at him in disbelief. "Bella, run. Go! Run!" I barely heard the last word. I was running. I didn't care that I could barely see, that my feet hurt and that I kept tripping – I had to find a way out. I ran and ran then that eventually turned into a jog and finally a walk. I was about to give up all hope when I began to see a clear area in between the leaves. I used all my strength to power through that final bit of foliage when I saw a house. It was an old looking house that looked deserted. It was a Victorian built house, my father had a similar one before he met mum. I stumbled up to it, praying someone was there though I had no hope in that. I knocked on the door and waited for an answer, but there was nothing. I tried again and again. I called through the letter box, hoping for something. I noticed then, that the door could easily open if I pushed it hard enough. So, I used the rest of the strength that I had and pushed the door open. I stepped into complete darkness and ran my hand along the wall in an attempt to find the light switch. I finally found it but when I turned it on, my eyes hurt. I had to blink a few times before they finally adjusted to the bright light, I saw the house. I was in a hallway with light coloured walls and furniture. The furniture was chic and modern which contrasted with the front of the house, it looked more like a living room than a hallway. There was a big, comfy looking sofa on one side of the wall with a coffee table in front. I ignored the other doors down either side of the walls and went straight to the sofa. I went to sit down but before I had the chance, I blacked out.
I dreamt of being in a clean white gown, my hair curled perfectly and a veil over my face. I was walking down a long isle and looked up to see a silhouette of a man at the top of it. He kept getting clearer and clearer, I saw a pair of sparkling golden eyes looking at me but then, just as I was about to see his face, it disappeared. I slowly opened my eyes to see myself lying in a bed with some wires in my arm. I looked around. I was in a room I'd never seen. It had light blue walls covered with various paintings, cream coloured side tables and a wardrobe in that exact colour. The bed I was in was so comfortable. It was soft with light blue and cream patterned sheet and duvet that tied in with the rest of the room. I heard talking below me and then I realised what had done last night – I was in a stranger's house. There where footsteps outside the door and the voices of two men talking. When the door knob twitched, panic took over my body. The door opened and a man with the strange golden eyes stood there looking at me with a kind smile on his face but a curious look on face.
"Hello. I'm Carlisle."
