Previously...in The Swan Princess
But Edward was now angry, when he couldn't see his mate or hear her heartbeat.
"It's just...Bella's missing" said Alice slowly, knowing at hearing that sentence Edward would go ballistic.
"WHAT?" he roared angrily
Now...
"What...the...hell do you mean by missing?" asked Edward in a livid voice tone. Anger bubbling so much that all the family visibly cringed at his wraith.
"Edward...please remain calm" said Emmett, seeing how feral he was becoming
"Calm? You're telling me that if Rosalie went missing, you will remain CALM?" shouted Edward looking at Emmett
"Oh don't be so dramatic, that is different-" said Rosalie but that was a mistake
At this, Edward's growls were heard, more alarming now.
"Different?" he said venomously
"Edward I'm sorry, I left her in your room for just half an hour, before the sun set and when I went it, she was gone" said Alice, guilt evident. Edward looked at Alice, his eyes filled with fear which was tearing into Alice, for hurting her brother.
"It's midnight Alice, she's been missing for hours now" said Edward, in a cool tone. Before any of them could utter another word or even sentence, Edward disappeared in a flash.
Alice sighed and then angrily looked at Rosalie.
"Different? Are you insane Rosalie? Bella may be in an animal's body but she is Edward's mate, and you better get used to it, or else he will attack you without a doubt" said Alice, shaking her head in disappointment
Edward was running angrily through the forest, hoping to hear her heartbeat or catch her scent. He knew how real fear felt now. Ever since he found out his mate was a swan, he was happy at finally finding his mate but then he felt heartbroken because he knew that his mate wouldn't survive that long. The average life span of a swan was 7 years. 7 years for his kind would pass easily, in a blink of an eye.
They always had plan that if they found their mate in human, they'll change their imprint but his mate was an animal, he couldn't change her. He mourned the fact that he only had so little time with her and hated the fact. But now, the thought of losing her right after he found her, he would never forgive himself for that. He only left his mate for few hours and she was in danger.
As he was running he stiffened when he felt her. All vampires feel their mate's feelings, especially in extreme cases, if they are in danger or injured. And he could feel her pain. At that, his unbeating heart constricted with anxiety and angst. She was frail, more fragile than even humans and any prey could pick on her and finish her off in seconds. He put all his effort in following that pull and find her.
He felt it closer and as he was running, he stopped when felt her close by and then froze in shock when he saw the sight in front of him. He had thought he would find Bella, as he felt her pull stop there but it wasn't her. Instead, in there, fallen was a girl. She appeared to be a 17 year old girl with mahogany brown hair, with strikes of red in it and wore simple but elegant white dress. She appeared to have a bandaged injured arm and her head was bleeding, which seemed fresh. She also wore a blue, pentagon shaped diamond pendant on her neck. Strangest part was, he felt a strong pull towards her and he didn't know why.
Dun dun dun! Guess who!
