Chapter 9

BPoV

I was running through the forest, my feet catching on stray branches strewn all over the ground, my normal lack of equilibrium hindered even more in my pace. My hair was whipping behind me as I gathered speed through the sporadically placed trees. I threw my head from side to side as I tried to see where my pursuer was, to see if they were gaining on me as I knew they soon would.

I continued running through the straggly brush, the sharper bushes cutting my legs in scratches as they dug into my bare skin.

I could hear my heart pumping behind my ears, the splitting sound of my sobs rang through the otherwise quiet forest. I knew I should be trying to keep at least a little quiet, I knew that my sobs would give off my location to the rabid Vampire, but I was too upset, I wasn't thinking straight. I was just trying to get away.

I hoped to god, or whatever kind of higher being out there that there may be, that Emmett would be okay, if he was gone, I don't think that I would ever have another happy in day in my life, and not just because he is the only one that can provide any kind of comedic relief in the house, but because he is apart of y family, and I love him like a brother, biological or otherwise.

These thoughts only powered me along further, I used them to help me gain speed and momentum, almost as if by running harder, it would secure Emmett's future, that somehow, if I managed to escape Edwards pursuit, that it would save Emmett.

With my legs pumping with an all new determination, and my breathing becoming slowly more controlled, I stopped sobbing, I pursued forward and ran, ran like I never had before.

In all the movies when the heroine or victim alike, were running from the evil and dangerous villain, they would somehow manage to escape, to find a secret passage or find an unheard of and unnatural strength, to help them beat the baddie, but not in this fairytale.

My equilibrium finally caught up with me, and made sure that I couldn't go much further, by securing my foot in the undercurrent of a root and tripping me, sending me flying into god knows wheat kind of bush, the leaves and foliage sticking and scraping my flesh as it had my legs.

I lay on the ground for a second, gathering my thoughts, I knew I should have gotten back up and ran, but the throbbing in my ankle was not allowing for very optimistic thoughts.

But before I could even contemplate what I was going to do, I felt a rustle of wind, and the distinct smell of the outdoors, and a slight hint of something tangible but I couldn't quite put my finger on it, it smelled like musk...

and in seconds there was a body standing there in front of me, smirking at me.

"that was a rather unfortunate fall, you were going pretty fast, for a human that is..." he looked down on me as if I was something to eat, and thats what I was to him, a light snack.

"Oh I am going to rather enjoy this." I was looking up at him, I wanted to scramble back, further into the bushes, where I could assume that I was safer, the further away I was, but truth be told, I was no safer ten metres further away, he could just as easily snap my neck.

He saw the hesitation in my eyes, the deliberation, and laughed.

"well you are quite special aren't you now my Bella?"

"H-h-how do you know my name?" I squeaked, still trying to unnoticeable shuffle backwards, opting for as much space as I could.

"how do I know your name? How do I know your name? Bella, are you not the legendary Isabella Cullen?"

"Well yes, but there is nothing legendary to me"

"oh you shouldn't doubt yourself so, Formerly a Swan, biological daughter to one of the most powerful Vampires in the world, sure its a coincidence that you ended up with the Cullen's, as unwanted as you were, your nothing but a human for gods sake, but your Father wasn't, and neither is your mother...anymore. All biological of course."

"How do you know that! I don't even know that! You've got the wrong person, yes the Cullen's are Vampires, But they are also my family, and they don't know anything about my biological parents, Carlisle tried, so what do you think makes you so much more resourceful than Carlisle, and the rest of my Family.!" I was yelling now, purely enraged by the nerve of this particularly gorgeous vampire.

"Oh Bella, as young and beautiful as you are, you are awfully naive. What makes me more resourceful? The Volturi thats who! Now! If you would politely pipe down so that I can kill you already, I have a plane to catch."

He zoned in for my neck, he was taking it slow, what could be considered human speed. He was tormenting me, going to make it more painful. He was essentially a hit man, and assassin for vampires, and I was his next target.

I knew it was his job, that he was sent, but I could tell that he was going to enjoy this one. I was a human, and vampire craved our blood.

Who knows why me, I was just a simple and harmless human, to the world of vampires. I had nothing on them, yet their royal court saw me fit for dead. And I had no idea why.

"WAIT!" I called out, as he was millimetres from my throat, I could feel his breath on my neck, the cool air breezing out of his luscious mouth.

"What is it now?" he growled.

"Why me?" He started laughing again, hard, a large ostentatious laugh.

"Why you Isabella Cullen? Because if you were changed, you'd have the power to be one of the most powerful vampires in the world, and I'm here to keep that from happening, now hold still, I'm going to kill you now."

"no you're not." I stated simply.

"is that right?" he asked slightly taken aback by my forwardness.

"yeah"

"and why is that?"

"because I want to do this first."

And at that I slowly moved forward and pressed my lips against his.
