I know it's been awhile, and I hope that this chapter makes up for it : )
ENOJY!
BPOV
The minutes passed by like hours as I waited for Anthony to come back. There was an eerie silence in the woods, not even a bird was chirping.
A cold wind swept through my clothes, leaving me chilled and even more frightened. I just can't sit here, I'll go insane, he should have been back by now. I felt like one of those dumb girls in a horror movie, common sense told me to stay put but common sense just wasn't my style. I did the only thing any non-sensible girl would do. I grabbed the gun and headed towards the direction Anthony had walked in.
"Anothony?" my voice was barley a whisper, but that's all I could get out. Where is he?
Each step I took sounded louder then the one before, which seemed preposterous because I was literally tip-toeing. There was so much tension in the air that I was finding it hard to breath.
As I walked the tress grew thicker. My hand grazed a nearby oak. I used the tree to steady myself and gather my thoughts.
Get a hold of yourself Bella, he's here somewhere.
I felt a presence behind me and I before I could scream a hand covered my mouth.
"Ssshhh."
My body relaxed as I recognized Anthony's voice. He released his hand and I turned to face him.
"Where…"
His finger was instantly on my lips and he was shaking his head. I could tell by the look in his eyes that we were in trouble.
I frantically looked around for a glimpse of the danger but saw nothing.
Anthony's hand clasped around mine and we slowly walked back to the camp in silence.
At any minute I expected some beast to jump out of nowhere and slaughter us but nothing happened. We made it back to the horses unscathed. We might actually make it out of this alive.
Anthony put his hands onto my waist and hoisted me up onto the horse. I still had the gun in and was about to hand it over to him when my heart stopped. Creeping about ten feet behind Anthony was a large black wolf, who was bigger then Jacob.
I wanted to scream but I was frozen. Anthony strapped me in oblivious to what horror was behind him, until his eyes took one look at my face. He glanced over his shoulder and then back at me.
"Run hard and don't look back."
"Anthony!"
"Yay!" he slapped the horse on it's rear sending it off into a run.
"No!"
I hadn't had a chance to even hand him over the shotgun, he was left defenseless.
As the horse took off in an unknown direction I looked back just in time to see the werewolf jump onto Anthony and end his life.
Terror was the only thing that kept me together. I was focused on survival and if I could just make it to town I might have a chance. The only problem was I had no sense of where I was, all I saw were more and more trees.
Then I heard them, the steps of doom chasing after me. It was the same beast that had just moments ago taken Anthony's life. This was it the end of the road, I couldn't possibly make it out of this alive now.
I still had the gun but I would need both hands to use it. I looped the reins around my left arm and locked my elbow around them, while my hands quickly figured out how to cock the shotgun. I heard a click and assumed I had done it right. I had one shot at this. I squeezed my thighs against the horse steadying myself. My right hand aimed the shotgun at the monster, who was now only 5ft away. I took a breath and shot the gun, luck was on my side. My shot hit its mark and I heard the werewolf yelp.
I can't believe I just did that.
You think life would have taught me a few things about myself, especially the part about me never being free from danger. I turned around just in time to see the black beast pounce on me.
The horse and me toppled to the ground. I felt every bone in my right side break as the horse landed on top of me. The werewolf slashed at the horse tearing it to shreds and occasionally scraping me. My body felt numb and there was blood in my mouth, this was finally the end. At least it was the horse that killed me, being eaten alive would suck.
There was a flash of white and the wolf was thrown off the horse. My head hurt too much to move but I could hear snarls and growls off to the side. My vision blurred, now it was just a mater of time. I closed my eyes and waited for death to take me.
"Bella…Bella!"
I could hear someone's voice, maybe it was an angel, come to take me home.
"Bella wake up!"
My eyes fluttered open, I was right, it was an angel.
"Jasper."
"Stay with me Bella, your going to be fine."
Jasper lifted the horse and tossed it aside, but I felt nothing.
His hands cradled my face. "I'm so sorry Bella, I should have been here sooner."
I could see the agony in his face and knew that if he could cry he would be balling tight now.
"It's okay." I coughed up and more blood filled my mouth.
"Hold on Bella, you're going to be fine."
I nodded knowing that it was a lie. I was so tired, tired of everything, now I only wanted to sleep. My eyes closed and I began to drift off. I could hear Jasper's desperate pleas but he sounded so far away and then all I could hear was silence.
OHHH don't hate me just yet, what's a good story without a cliffhanger?? I promise I'll put up the next chapter must faster then this one and as always REVIEW!!!! REVIEW!!!!xoxoxooxoxoxo
