Bella's POV
(Dream)
When I open my eyes I immediately feel the fear seep through my veins in heavy doses. The room i am in is in complete darkness and from the smell of it im in the basement again. Tears fall rapidly down my face. Had I dreamed that I had escaped. It felt so real. The pain I feel radiating throughout my body scares me and makes me want to scream. How can one person endure so much and still be alive?
Movement from the corner of the room makes me jump. I look around trying to found the source of the noise but all I can see around me is dark. My fear increases even further when I hear footsteps coming towards me. I let out a cry of pain when I feel someone grab hold of my hair and pull my head back roughly.
'Like seriously when are you going to realise that you won't ever be rid of me. I will make sure the rest of life is nothing but full of misery because that's what a worthless slut like you deserves' Charlie says close to my ear. Even though I can't see him, I would always be able to recognise that voice.
'Please..stop this' I try begging him which just makes him pull my hair so hard I scream.
'SHUT UP! stop struggling or would you like me to go and find your precious Cullen's and kill every single one of them' He asks me. A shiver of fear goings trickling down my spine at his threat. God the thought of him hurting any of them is physically more painful than anything I had felt ever and that's saying something. He drags me to my feet by my hair and pulls me over to a corner of the room before turning the light on. What I see makes my heart sink to the bottom of my stomach. Every one of the cullens: Edward, Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, Jasper, Esme and Carlisle. They were lined up and their hands were tied behind their backs. Tears were flowing freely down all of the girls faces and they all looked terrified. Anger fills me. I don't care what happens to me but I will not let that monster hurt my family. He drops me onto my knees and walks over to them with his gun in his hands. Fear grips my heart.
'NOOO, NOOO please Charlie don't hurt them' I plead with him. He just laughed and glided the gun across the top of their heads. My heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest. I can't handle losing any of them.
'Now Bella, Who first?' He said walking along the line of new family members. How sick can he actually be asking me something like that. I cry harder and feel like my heart is being ripped out of my chest and broken into a million pieces. What does he expect me to say to that? Does he actually expect me to choose?
He really must be sick to think I would ever do that. I close my eyes and take a deep breathe. The pain in my chest keeps slowly but surely increasing as time goes on. Why must everything good in my life end in misery?
'Please... kill me, kill me Charlie. Don't hurt them please' I beg him. I'd rather die myself than live in a world without them. Why must life be so cruel to me.
'Mmm as nice as that sounds im not done with you yet and I'd much rather keep you alive. Now pick who first or I'll do it for you!' Charlie sneers.
I met the eyes with every one of my new family and I see nothing but fear and sadness something that none of them should have to feel. If it wasn't for me they would be at home right now safe and happy. I had done nothing but cause them harm.
'Charlie I will not pick any of them. Please just let them go. You can do whatever you want to me but please don't hurt them. Their good people and don't deserve this' I beg him. I really don't care what he does to me as long as their safe.
'Bella when will you learn? When I ask you to do something you better do it now ill just have to pick for you. How about this little thug? ' he asked pointing to edward. NOOOO.. please no. My heart breaks into two.
'No please..' I whisper feeling defeated at the thought of losing him. The first man in the world that showed me what it's like to be loved and wanted.
Charlie points the gun at edward's head and laughs before pulling the trigger. I scream the loudest I've ever screamed as pain overtakes my body. I fall to my knees and sob so hard.
'Bella...Bella sweetheart. Wake up, your okay. It was just a dream.' I hear a very familiar silky voice calling my name. My eyes shot open to find a very concerned edward looking at me. Tears come fast and flow down my cheeks. Relief washes over me seeing him sitting there. That dream felt so real.
'Aww Bella, it's okay. Your safe' Edward says stroking my hair to try calm me down. He says it's okay but I don't believe those words. Nothing is ever going to be okay. I can't stand the pain that I constantly have to deal with. I just want it to end.
'Edward, make it stop' I beg him in a tiny broken voice.
'Make what stop Bella' he asks me looking confused.
'The pain. I can't handle this, I just want this to end.' I tell him looking him in the eyes through my tears. I don't even know if he thinks im talking about all the pain not just the physical pain my body is in.
'Bella, look at me. I would do anything to take it away and I know I failed to protect you and for that im sorry Bella but I promise Charlie will never come near you again. He won't get away with this. I love you Bella and I promise it will get better' Edward says forcing me to look at him.
I so want to believe him but my head is so confused right now it keeps going from one thing to another. I don't want to start hoping for something when it usually always ends in pain and heartache but one thing I did know is how much I love Edward. He is my entire life.
'I love you too Edward but please don't blame yourself for this. Nothing that happened was any of yours fault, you all did everything you could to protect me. Charlie did this not you' I told him. I didn't want him blaming himself for something that wasn't even his fault. God he had been there for me through everything lately and I would spend as much time as possible making sure he knows how much I appreciate everything he has done.
'I know Bella. It was Charlie's fault but we should of been more careful. I should of protected you from that monster and for that I am sorry. Finding out you were missing was the worse time of my entire life. The thought of him hurting you... I can't lose you Bella. Your my life now forever and always' he tells me. His words make a warm feeling wrap around my heart. One question pops into my mind. How did he find me?
'Edward you did everything you could. You couldn't exactly come to the bathroom with me, I think that would be a little strange but none of that matters now. I'm here and alive because of you again. You saved my life edward and I can't thank you enough for that. Can I ask you something?' I ask him.
'You don't need to thank me and of course anything?' He says.
'How did you find me?' I ask him. A look of worry crosses his face for a split second before changing back to normal.
'We were all out looking for you. I was searching all over and I saw you' He says and I can tell he is lying about something and it makes me worried. I hate being lied to.
'Well thank you for saving me. You know edward you can tell me anything right?' I asked him. I wanted him to know that he didnt have to hide anything from me and that I would be here no matter what. I had told him nearly everything about my life and I dont know why but I just had a really weird feeling that he was hiding something.
'Yeah, I know Bella. What's brought this on?' He asked me looking confused.
'It's just i've told you so much about my life and I dont know why but I just have this really weird feeling your hiding something from me. I know im probably being stupid, im sorry. You don't have to tell me anything' I told him looking away feeling stupid. I was probably just being completely stupid.
'Bella there is something I need to tell you but I want to do it with the whole family there and when your feeling better okay? Just trust me ok. You've been through alot and you need to get some rest' He says looking like his mind is going ten to a dozen right now. It hurts a little to know he is hiding something but I feel like I can trust him so I nod my head at him.
Even if my heart feels like its about to beat out of my chest with the nerves building up inside me. I don't know what he is going to tell me but I know in my heart that he would never hurt me and he had stayed by my side through everything I have told him so I would do the same. That's what love is all about. Being there for someone and trusting them fully with your life and with edward I do trust him.
