Save Me

Chapter 3:

He's Back

disclaimer: i own nothing and i will never own anything. how many times do i have to say that? it makes me all depressed! :(

Dedication: Mia, I love you so much and you are the best at everything you do! LOVE YA MIA!!

All I could really do was lie there; waiting for death to take me. I knew it would come soon enough.

"Bella." The murderous vampire cooed. I knew he was trying to scare me, and I was one to admit that he was.

But I had already excepted the fact that I was about to die.

I remained silent, waiting for Edward's voice to come into my mind one last time...

"Bella." Edward's beautiful voice begged. "Bella, please don't go."

Well it wasn't like I had a choice. I had begged him to stay, to come to his senses and remain here, but he refused. He said he didn't want me anymore.

The words still stung just as much, if not more, than they had the first time he spoke them to me.

"I've finally found you." The killer said, lurking closer as he did so. "You are very hard to find. Did you know that, Bella?"

"No, Laurent, I didn't." I responded, his name stinging in my throat. I slowly sat up, my back damp and wet. A gentle breeze blew my scent right into his hungry face. He took a deep whiff and smiled an evil smile my way.

"Well, might I say that you smell better than I remember." He said, coming closer. I braced myself, ready for anything.

I closed my eyes again, knowing that Laurent was coming, and that my death was very near.

Before I knew it, I was flying threw the air. The breath was knocked out of me as soon as Laurent's hard, vampire body hit my fragile human one.

I was pinned to the soft meadow grass. Laurent was above me, his ruby red eyes staring urgently into mine. Then before I knew it, Laurent was moving his lips slowly down to the soft skin of my neck.

"BELLA!" Edward's voice shouted in my head. This was it, I was going to die. Here in the best place in the world; me and Edward's meadow...

and with the most beautiful voice right there in my head, screaming my name like he actually cared.

But then, as Laurent's lips brushed my skin, ready to sink his teeth into it, he was pushed off me.

And I heard Edward's very real velvet voice.

"I'll kill you!" Edward growled, ripping Laurent's arm off of his dead body. "Don't you even think about putting a finger on her!"

Then, when Laurent's head was on the ground and Edward let his limp body fall to the ground, I blacked out.

.......................................................................................................................

I woke up in my room; the lights off and my head throbbing like I had been in some coma state. Was what I had just experienced a dream? A nightmare?

Did Laurent really try to kill me?

Did Edward actually come back?

Surely this was only a dream. There was no way that could be real.

But as I turned and felt the cold and hard body that I had missed so much, I knew deep in my heart that it was.

There he was, just like before. His angel face just inches from mine. His cool and sweet breath washing over my face. I froze. Edward was really here with me.

Edward actually cared.

His eyes were pained. He looked me over for damage.

"Bella." He said softly, caressing my cheek with this cold fingers. I leaned into him. I had missed his cold touch so much, it was amazing to feel it again. Amazing to feel him again.

I closed my eyes, not wanting to see the pain in his own. I just wanted this moment to be ours, to last forever.

I wanted us to last forever.

"Bella, I'm so sorry." He apologized. "I shouldn't have left you here all alone. It hurts just to think of you here without me with you. I am truly sorry, my love." He looked agonized. He would have cried if he could, I was sure. He was already crying dry sobs.

I placed my fingertips on his face, grateful to feel his marble skin beneath them. I sighed and rested my forehead on his own.

"Just tell me that you love me." I said, closing my eyes again. I let his scent fill my nose, loving every minute of this. "Please. That's all I need to hear right now. I've gone so long without hearing it."

Then his hands were on either side of my face, making my eyes open.

"I love you." He vowed, bringing my face closer to his own. "I love you so much, Bella. I have never stopped loving you."

"That's all I needed to know." I whispered.

His eyes filled with love and passion. I knew at that moment that my Edward was here to stay.

Forever.
