The Shadows

by Danielle Pitter

Drabble form. Mass attacks are made around Seattle by these dark creatures called Shadows. They feed off of light, happiness, and joy and suck them out of their victims, leaving them emotionless. And now they're after Bella. But she doesn't know why or how. Because she doesn't know how powerful she is. Can the Cullens help her discover her true power while protecting their city?

11. Chapter 11

Previously…

Bella, wait!" Esme called, but my walk turned into a run as soon as I heard Alice cry out to me.

~oOo~

I ran and ran until I couldn't stop.

No only did Edward's words haunt me, but looking at my poor, decrepit, old city made my eyes water even more.

This was my home for so long, and these Shadows of death and destruction caused so much pain and suffering.

My lungs felt like they were on fire, but I couldn't stop running.

Rain began to pelt on my body, and I slipped into the wall of a dark alley.

My tears mixed with the rain on my face, and I looked at my hand, which was red and puffy from the slap I gave Edward.

Then, it glowed a little and the pain, as well as the redness, went away.

I examined my hand, amazed.

Then, I heard footsteps, rose to run off again, and bumped into Alice.
