Chapter 6 - The Rescuer
Bella's POV:
As I got closer and closer towards the front of the boat; more memories came flooding back. They were so vivid; mostly about me and Alice; all the good times we spent together.
I knew this would hurt her so much but I just needed to do it. Each step I took towards the front of the boat a different memory came flowing back to me; I needed to be free; to be free from all the rules; to be free from life.
The railing was now just inches away from me; slowly I raised my hand. My fingertips brushed against the cold, white railings. I took a deep breath and grabbed hold with both hands; my foot slowly raised up towards the second bar. Was I really doing the right thing? Snap out of it Bella, I had to do this I just had to.
I pulled myself up without thinking; the cold wind brushed the cheek of my face; it sent a shiver down my spine. If I thought it was cold up here on deck; I shuddered to think how cold the water would be. I let go of the bars; it felt like I was flying. Then I did it; I leaned forward waiting for the impact of the water to hit me but it never came.
My eyes opened quickly; I noticed my surroundings I was still standing on the railings; I pushed my body forward but it still didn't move. I felt arms on top of mine.
"You're not going to kill yourself, I wont let you"
this voice was so beautiful it was musical; it sounded so close to me. I half twisted my body to find a pair of golden eyes staring at me; his face was so unreal; it was too beautiful. Then my foot slipped.
I screamed as my body hung from one of my mystery person arms; I looked beneath me the waves were violently crashing against the side of the boat. I decided then and there I didn't want to die, I couldn't do this to myself especially Alice this would just destroy her.
I slowly felt myself slipping, I tried to tighten my grip on his arm but I kept on slipping. I closed my eyes because I knew what was coming next for me it was Death I gasped for breaths while I searched for those golden eyes and the person's arm that was holding me up trying to keep me from my death but, I couldn't see or feel anything the blackness had taken over my body completely.
I was dead wasn't I?
Edward's POV:I followed her without thinking; something was drawing me close to her. I ha
d this strange feeling of protecting her no matter what I had to do. I've never felt this way in my whole existence especially towards a human; she was heading towards the front of the boat. For some reason I couldn't hear her thoughts; I tried to concentrate but still nothing.
I'd have to talk to Carlisle later; i stayed in the shadows not wanting to scare her. What was she doing? What was she thinking? I studied every move she took; she was going to jump; I would never let that happen.
How could someone so fragile have this sort of effect on me? She pulled her self up that's when I raced to her; I stood behind her and placed my arms on top of hers. She was still standing on the railings; she tried to push her body forward but I wouldn't let her move an inch.
"You're not going to kill yourself, I wont let you"
I whispered into her ear. She half twisted her body; I stared at her and she stared straight into my golden eyes ; she studied my face. Then her foot slipped. She screamed as her body hung from one of my arms; she looked beneath she the waves were violently crashing against the side of the boat.
I Couldn't let her die something was yelling at me to pull her in. I slowly felt her slipping, she tried to tighten her grip on my arm but she kept on slipping. she closed her eyes and that's when I gripped on her hand and pulled her to safety; I tried to wake her but she wouldn't she laid there life less. No no no; she can't be dead; I picked her swiftly up and raced to my room; I needed to get her to Carlisle quickly.
