I couldn't hear her mind, and it bothered me. The day was going good, as good as it could possibly go at least. This one, beautiful girl, the prettiest human I had ever seen, and I could not read to her mind and that bothered me. And then when I sat down next to her in Biology, when I smelled her blood and when I almost killed her, but instead smiled, I knew something was different about her. Something that could make me go past the blood lust. Something that made me want more.

Something that made me not want her blood, but want to know more about her. Something that made me want to keep her safe and hold her in my arms and never let go. To keep her for myself and not share her with the world. To provide for her and only her. She was like my...my other half.

It felt though as if I was in love with her. And I could not say that I was not.

Then the teacher came up behind her and patted her back. And the a tear fell. I knew that there was something deeper, something that I had no idea about. Something that I wanted to know. I wanted to ask her, but I did not want to scare her. I did not know what she was going through. And then when the bell rang and I could hear and see through my sisters' thoughts. I could hear that she was in pain and that something was wrong. I wanted to help her, I wanted to pull her to me and comfort her.

And now I sit at home, seeing Alice's visions. She had two back to back.

I could see a man, his was obviously drunk, and then there was Bella. I was seeing through his eyes. I was seeing what he was seeing. I was saying what he was saying. Bella was scared. She was petrefied, but you coul tell that she was no rookie to this that it was something that has happened before.

He or I suppose I in a way stood up.

"Where have you been?" He said angrily. She didn't know what to do. To run. To hide.

"At school." She looked around trying to calculate what was going to happen.

"Is that right? Well I have been waiting for you. And I do not like to wait." He said in a mater-of-fact tone. He slapped her across the face, she screamed and you could see the pain across her face. It was immediately red. There was going to be a bruise.

He picked up a chair an threw it at her. It hit her in the head and she fell back against the wall, blacking out. Although she was out, he did not stop. He kicked her over and over then took out his knife. I could see him walk forward towards her, but nothing after that.

And then the other vision.

I saw Bella. And then I saw myself. We were at the school and I was touching the bruise on her face. She flinched started to cry and then, then I pulled her into my arms.

"When?" I asked Alice.

"The first was five minutes ago and the second is tomorrow." She said.

"I have to stop it Alice." I said, wanting an answer.

"Edward that is terrible. We have to help her. You have to help her. Who was doing those things to her? She is so innocent."

"Slow down Alice. I have no more idea than you do. All I know is that she will not trust us right off. We are going to have to earn it. Slowly." I said before walking out the door. I spent the rest of the night, and most of the morning outside of Bella's bedroom watching over her. I only left to go and get ready for school, taking a quick shower then getting dressed.

I was there before Bella and when she walked up I followed behind her. I knew her classes and when she was safely in her first period class I went to flatter the crap out of the secretary to get her to change my schedule. Thankfully it went well and I was able to get all the classes the same except last period which was athletics for Bella. I went to my class ten minutes late with a pass from the secretary.

When I tried my best not to look at Bella. I looked at the teacher instead. I handed him the note and sat where he directed me to. Right behind Bella. She was so beautiful. I did not understand why someone would want to hurt someone who was so miraculous. I went through the class not paying attention even the slightest.

And when the bell rang and she stood up I followed her to her to her locker. I went behind her and tapped on her shoulder. I instantly regretted it. She jumped and turned around faster than I thought possible for a human. She was scared. It was easy to see.

"I'm sorry." I said, completely sincere.

"It's fine." Her voice was angelic, but she was still terrified. I thought of why a person would tap someone on there shoulder.

"I was wondering it you would tell me where Mrs. Simpson is." Was that really the best I could do?

"You can follow me there." She said before turning back to her locker and putting a book up, just to take another out. She didn't turn to see if I was still there she just walked forward, looking down. That is when a pair of thoughts intruded into my mind.

What is that tramp doing with Edward Cullen? It was Lauren Mallory, one of the queen bee's of the school and the other would be er 'friend', Jessica Stanley.

She is so going to pay for that. Just wait. Edward will be mine. Little did they know that, that would never happened. I was not worried about myself. I was more worried about what they planned on doing with Bella. I found myself searching through heads throughout the entire period trying to find Jessica's and Lauren's unsuccessfully.

I was so preoccupied I didn't even see Bella leave or the bell ring. I ran out of the class room a little too fast and thankfully there was Alice.

"Is she okay?" I asked quickly.

"Who?" Alice asked.

"Bella." That is when it hit her.

When Alice was not looking for someone it turned out that she would see things as they happened. So Alice and I saw Lauren and Jessica beating the shit out of Bella.

"He is mine! Don't go near him. You are just a dirty tramp. You whore." Jessica said as she kciked Bella repeatedly. Lauren kicked her once before they both walked out of the room. Bella lay a heap on the floor, blood slowly spreading across her shirt. Causing the white fabric to go red.

I didn't even bother to ask Alice where she was. I found her easily by smelling. The blood was strong, but I wanted to help her more. I ran out of the school with her. No one saw me I was moving so fast, and she was out of it. I put her in the passenger seat of my Volvo. I sped to the hospital, Carlisle would have to look her over.

I think the chapters will alternte between Edward and Bella PVO.
