Meeting on a bus, Edward and Bella are immediately attracted to each other but their gloomy, abuse-ridden pasts make them both hesitant to trust anyone. Follow them as Bella learns not only how to save a life, but hers is saved as well.

279. Chapter 277

I squeeze my eyes shut, my hand slipping slowly down to the baby in my womb, as if to protect it from the vile being behind me.

"How did you find me?" I ask, hating how scared I sound.

His finger is on my neck, and I can tell that he's thinking of the bruise that he put there years ago.

"I have my ways," he says and I whimper as his hand wraps around my triceps, pulling it as if to dislocate the muscles.

I feel sick as the pain starts, strong, inescapable.

I nearly scream, tears welling and falling until I hear Carlisle's voice.

"Excuse me, but may I ask what you are doing?" His voice is angry, barely controlled as he comes forward and into my view. His jaw clenches when he sees my fright. "I advise that you remove your hand," he says glaring toward Charlie.
