Sadly Beautiful

A/N

This is quite an important chapter to the story so I hope you all enjoy. I uploaded chapter ten fairly recently but I started this one almost straight away after, it's not too lengthy compared to some of my other ones but I still hope you like it.

Ellie's a bitch, enough said...

Chapter eleven - Waking nightmare

I woke up in an unfamiliar room. Dazed, I looked around and tried to make out where I was. I spotted Jasper sitting in the corner, chuckling softly at the confused expression on my face.

"Alice had some things to do and she didn't want you to be alone." He smiled warmly at me, earning a tentative smile back from me. "I swear that she's even more protective than I am."

I laughed and felt myself relaxing in his presence, probably due to his gift but it was still nice to have some quality time with the other members of Alice's family. I yawned widely and stared at Jasper. Suddenly I realised what had happened the night before.

"Oh my god, what are we going to tell Charlie about my house and where am I going to stay?" I practically shouted at him in my panic. He smiled endearingly at me.

"Bella, it's fine we sorted it. Unfortunately, because Jacob was in such a confined space when he phased -turned into a wolf- the damage was quite severe. Most of your house has been, for lack of a better expression, completely destroyed."

He paused and took an unnecessary breath, looking pained. "The good thing is, Charlie was fine and no one saw anything that happened so there won't have to be any drastic action aside from your house being re-built."

While I was processing this information, Carlise and Alice entered the room. Alice hopped onto the bed, and I curled up on her lap. Carlise picked up a set and set it next to the bed. He continued where Jasper had left off from.

"As Jasper told you, your house was almost completely destroyed. We managed to do the necessary work and we've made it look like a gas leak. We spoke to your father and offered him a chance to stay here until his house has been re-built. He said no and that he's going to stay at a friend in La Push but he wanted you to stay here with us. We also offered to pay for your house's re-building."

I was shocked, I know that they were Alice's family and that she loved me but I never expected them to be this kind to me. I wasn't used to feeling this kind of affection. Charlie and I had never really bonded, he didn't feel much like a father to me and I was sure that the feeling was mutal.

"So I'm going to be staying here with you guys?" I asked excitedly. Carlisle smiled at me and nodded. Maybe the whole wolf situation did have a good side. Mirroring my thoughts, Alice nuzzled her head into my neck, I tucked my chin on her shoulder.

We stayed like this for a few minutes, Carlisle and Jasper left to give us some privacy. Alice uncurled from my waist and interlaced her fingers in mine. She pulled me gently off the bed and towards a door I'd never noticed before; probably due to the fact that I was staring at Alice.

She opened the door slowly, keeping eye contact with me the whole time. When the door was almost completely opened, she stepped in front of me before I could get a look at the room and wrapped something around my eyes. She giggled mischievously, while I struggled against her grip.

"Alice what the hell?" I asked annoyed. She silenced me by pressing her lips to mine, before sighing.

"Please Bella, this is important to me, don't ruin it." She asked sincerely.

I sighed in defeat and didn't protest as she gently tugged me into the room. When I stepped inside, I noticed a few things all at once. Firstly, the smell of honey and lavender dominated my senses, this was Alice's scent and I immediately felt light headed. After I'd gotten over the initial response to Alice's scent, I heard soft acoustic music playing in the background.

"If you don't like acoustic songs then I have lots of different music in here, any band you can think of I have. Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Girls Generation, Ben Howard, etc. She said sheepishly before removing my blind fold.

I was in a large room, every inch of space was covered by something. The dark purple walls, my favorite colour, were covered completely by pictures of Alice and I. In some of the pictures we were holding hands, in some smiling and in others staring into each others eyes. I was mesmerism by the love, seeming to radiate off of us.

Looking at the pictures, I was struck by a feeling of despair. How could she be so fucking perfect, while I'm so plain and ordinary. I swallowed these thoughts, determined not to ruin Alice's moment. She seemed to sense my feelings, she pulled me into a tight hug and whispered into my ear.

"You're absolutely perfect, even if you can't see it. I'll always love you." She pulled me into a long kiss before I had a chance to reply, not that I would now if I could. I broke the kiss when I needed to breathe, my face was hot and I had to sit down for a minute.

I sat down, before noticing what I was actually sitting down on. It was a large, dark red love seat. I wondered why Alice would possible want this in here, but she quickly sat down and curled up into my lap. Answering any questions I may have had.

I wanted to take in the rest of the room but I was too comfortable. The warm room, soft music and incredible scent made me feel very fatigued. I shifted my position so that I was in Alice's lap and she pulled me closer to her.

I felt myself drifting out of consciousness, falling further into my dreams. I was actually excited to see what situations my imagination could create between Alice and I tonight.

Running... Can't stop running.

I trip, falling roughly on the uneven forest floor. I caught my hand on a large, sharp branch, I feel the blood running from the wound. My stomach clenches in panic and I frantically try and stand up.

I get half way to my feet before a force behind me propels me into the air. I fly for what it seems like an eternity, in reality it's probably only a few seconds. I land roughly on the floor, imapling my arm on a branch. It goes through my arm, just above the elbow. I scream loudly and try to free myself.

I felt an icy hand around my throat, unlike Alice's hand this one didn't make me feel comforted or loved, it made me feel unsafe. I tore my gaze away from the hand clenched around my throat and stared into the eyes of my killer.

He was extremely pale and handsome, he had long flowing black hair that was tied loosely in a pony tail behind his back. His face was beautiful but maimed by hundreds of scars, almost every inch of his skin had a large vampire bite mark covering it. The thought of the amount of fights he must have been in scared me, not because it meant he had more experience but because he was still alive. No one, man or vampire, should be able to survive that many battles.

His most striking feature by far though, was his eyes. They were dark crimson, the darkest red that I could imagine. I'd seen pictures of other vampires in the Cullen house but never had I seen one with eyes that red, meaning that he probably feeds often out of pleasure.

His fingers tightened around my throat, the muscles in his forearms tensing. He smiled sadistically at me before snarling in an inhuman voice.

"You do not belong to Alice, you are mine. I own you." His eyes bored into mine as he said this, as though he was daring me to challenge this. I mustered as much courage as I could, I couldn't speak with his fingers laced around my throat, and spat in his face. He wiped the spit away and flung me across the ground.

The stick impaled in my arm snapped, blood began to gush out of the wound. I expected the vampire to lose control and end me quickly but he surprised me. He walked slowly towards me, a casual and confident stroll.

When he was a few feet in front of me, he used his vampire speed and strength to close the distance, from my point of view it looked like he just materialized in front of me. He cupped my face in his hands roughly and jerked me forward so my face was mere inches away from his. He pulled me roughly into a kiss, there was no passion or love, only lust and sadistic pleasure.

When he pulled away, he slapped me across the cheek hard, causing me to fall down. He moved forward as I fell, I thought he was going to catch me but it turns out he was just getting a better view of my falling. After I hit the ground and rolled a few times, he picked me up again and grabbed me roughly around the throat again.

"You're about to wake up, when you do you're going to give a message to your dear little Alice." He stopped and slapped me hard, making sure I was paying attention. I nodded numbly and he continued. "You're going to tell her, and the rest of your little family, that I am coming for them. That you are mine."

I nodded, wishing for the pain to go away, hoping that this was all a figment of my imagination. He paused for a second before turning back to me glaring icily at me and laughing crazily. "My name is Saun. Don't forget that."

He walked towards me and grabbed my head in one hand and tore it off.

A/N

I hope you all enjoyed, yes 'Saun' is going to be the evil character in my story. I'm going to flesh him out over a few chapters and you'll get to know about his background and why he has so many scars and whatnot. Anyway, this is an important chapter and I'd appreciate it if you left a review telling me what you think.

Until next time, Onnza :)
