Recap: Before I could answer a crash sounded from the living room causing us to jump apart. Looking at each other we both ran to investigate the sound. What I saw was Laurent standing in the Cullen's living room with a devilish smile. My face went pale. I must have looked paler then a vampire at this point. Angela looked at me with immense fear lining every feature. "So Very nice to see you again, Isabella" he said with a sly smile. I see you brought a friend" he said before crouching. We were the prey and he was definitely in hunters mode.
Scarlett teardrops chapter #4: An eternal shift
My head spun time seemed to tick by slowly as Laurent blurred towards us. Angela's body lay beside me a mere millisecond later. My body frozen in terror not even realizing the piercing scream bursting from my chest was my own. No,No,No! this couldn't be happening. Blood smeared along Laurent's lips he swiped them with his hand smiling at me. "Truly no offence meant Bella" he said rolling his tongue on my name as a purr. I needed to run but Angela. I looked at her, she was gone her body lay limp, motionless, soundless. Blood pooling around her head from where this beast had ravanized her throat. Turning I ran towards the busted window before hearing a growling coming from the edge of the woods. Giant beastly forms coming into view. Wolves. Looking back I saw Laurent with a hand raised ready to swipe my throat out next but fear swam in his red pooling eyes. He turned back into the house disappearing. As I looked back to the woods where multiple giant wolves emerged. Bigger then my truck, causing me to just have to much and I dropped to the ground fainting.
~hours later~ (listen to Lewis Capaldi: someone you loved while reading this part)
My eyes fluttered open I was warm, way to warm. It took a moment for my vision to come into focus. Sitting up quickly my head began to spin. "Bella?!" a voice said beneath me causing me to jump and look back at a grown man holding me in his arms. It looked like Jacob but to big to be, His long hair gone. A tattoo dorned his shirtless shoulder. I realized the immense heat was radiating from him.
"Stop,Stop,Stop!" I screamed untangling myself from his overheated arms and standing feeling a bit lightheaded. Jake looked at me with a grim look. "ANGELA!" I Cried. Piece by piece memories hitting me. Us having a heart to heart, Angela hugging me being the only one there and a stupid Vampire ruining it all! "Vampires ruin EVERYTHING!" I Screamed outload. My hands slamming to my mouth as I realized what I said I began to hyperventilate the room spinning once more. "I shouldn't…..I'm sorry" I said as Jacob jumped up grabbing my shoulders. "Bella look at me" he insisted. I looked hesitantly in his eyes. " We already know" he stated with a sly grin. Shaking my head side to side. No, No he couldn't know how would he?! "We?" I asked. Jake chuckled. "I'm not supposed to say but as alpha (yes Jake's alpha in this) I guess it doesn't matter." With that Jacob reminded me of the cold ones legends and then I remembered the wolves. Jumping back once more forgetting Jake and I had sat down while talking I fell backwards out of the loveseat in the tiny living room. Jacob laughed a loud Boisterous laugh. It seemed wrong to laugh at a time like this but I couldn't help the small smile as Jake pulled me up seeing the angst in my eyes at my best friends death. Had they grabbed the body, had police been called? What had been said happened? My head started to spin with the thoughts but Jake grabbed me in a warm hug. "I'm so sorry Bella" in that moment I let go as he lowered us back to the sofa letting my tears soak his shirt. I felt warm and safe. The wolves had saved me they had scared Laurent. But to late for those I love, they always left. But in this moment I just lived I let go and I lived in the moment.
We sat .For what felt like hours. My tears ran out. I began to hiccup. But I laughed. I cried. I was just there in the moment. He answered any questions he could. They hadn't found Angela's body but at the amount of blood they had found she couldn't have possibly survived. The police hadn't been called and the scene had been cleaned. Angela's phone was taken and left on a dirt road for police to find when or if they began searching for her. It didn't feel right leaving her family without answers. Or worse with false hope that she would be right home. The pack had been commanded to hunt down Laurent and bring 'the girls body back' if possible. In gruesome terms. If there was anything left of her. I shuddered at that. Poor Angela it was all my fault. Jake offered to let me stay but I turned him down I had to be home to protect Charlie. If I was what they wanted they could have me and do as they pleased. I didn't care anymore. But no one else that I loved would be hurt because of me!
Jake tried insisting I stay at his home but I just couldn't I had to get home. What about Charlie? "Dad can invite him for some football and fish fry" he said completely convinced it would work. Charlie was My main concern right now do if I couldn't leave tonight then that would have to work. "ok great I'll talk to Billy" he said running from the room. But the moment he was gone. I wrapped my arms around myself. The hole in my chest feeling larger than ever. A tear I didn't believe I still contained fell from my eye. Jacob numbed the hole like the cutting did. But even absent in the next room it came back with a stabbing full force knocking the air out of me causing me to rock back and forth. How will I ever survive now especially with angela gone? My only hope was Jake now.
So I know this was a bit short but what's everyone think? Comments please I want to write more soon.
