Prologue Twilight Fanfiction
And I flung myself off of the cliff.
I didn't go that far.
What a shame.
A pair of ice cold hands wrapped around my thin figure. I kept my eyes shut tight afraid of what…or who…. I might see. I blocked all thoughts out of my mind, but deep down, I knew just who it was. And I couldn't even fool myself. Not again.
I shuddered as I came back to reality. I opened my eyes slowly.
"Bella." Edward said slowly. Just as I remembered. But it hurt even more this time.
Because this time, it was real.
"Bella." He said again in the same, melodic voice. The same voice I had dreamed about for months. It was just as scary to hear it in person as it was to hear it in dreams.
I refused to say anything. I kept my mouth shut, but my eyes open. They wouldn't meet his. They were kept on the deep set blue grey sky. The harsh winds rippled at my face, chilling me. I shivered.
"Let's get you home." He murmured pumping his legs in fast strides before I could resist. It was effortless as we rushed past the trees. It seemed so peaceful, yet so scary. No, it wasn't scary that we were moving at the speed of light, wrapped around each other, moving in step with the wind. It was scary that I was so used to it. Before I knew it, we were at his house, if you could even call it that. It was just as massive as I had remembered from months ago. Edward set me down on his porch so I could stand up as he opened the door. The key twisted and the door flung open before Edward could touch it. The next thing I knew a spiky black haired head was squeezing me in a cold embrace. And she wouldn't let go.
Finally, after what had seemed like an hour, she let go.
"Bella." She said in the same soft tone Edward had. Was that all they knew how to say?
"Alice," Edward nodded, and held my hand. "We are going to my room." He said and tugged on my hand.
"We are?" I said in a hard tone, thanking god it hadn't cracked. Edward's penetrating golden eyes looked me over.
"We are." He murmured, pulling my hand up the carpeted stairs. It looked just as I remembered. I could have led myself to his room with my eyes closed. It hurt to be in the same house as I had been so long ago. And with him, it was even harder. But he kept pulling on my hand, not noticing. He pushed his door open and guided me to his big black couch. He tried to pull me down, but I pushed away.
"Sit down Bella, "he invited in a sweet tone. "Let's talk."
"No." I growled. He couldn't tell me what to do. No matter what he was going to say. I was sick of it. He had ruined my life, and I wasn't going to let him do it again. No matter what he said, he couldn't change my mind.
"Bella, I love you." He breathed with a smile on his face. His expression changed immediately as he saw no change in my face. "Just sit down Bella. I need to explain something." Just to please him, I sat down. Not as close as I used to, I sat quite a distance away, some three or four feet away. What a long couch.
"Bella, why were you jumping off of that cliff?" He finally said after looking at me for a couple minuets. I stood up.
"I don't have to answer anything." I dignified, as I moved toward the door.
"Bella, wait," Edward said quickly, moving toward me. "I need you back. I can't live without you. I tried to do it to help you, and I couldn't do it Bella. I couldn't do it." He looked down as he spoke "I came back after I left. None of my family knew where I went. Except Alice. She kept my secret. I stayed here….watching you."
I looked back at Edward before I slammed the door. "You should have never left in the first place."
Before I could make a move for the stairs, Edwards hand rested on my pulsing neck. "I had to Bella. It wasn't my choice. I'm sorry."
"You know what Edward?" I looked him straight in the eye, "Too Late."
With that, I watched Edward cringe. "Bella, I'm sorry." He murmured in a deep tone, "What do I have to say?"
I pulled my hair behind my ears. "Nothing would be nice."
He smiled crookedly. "I can't do that," he laughed musically. "I'm serious Bella. I have a lot to say if you'd listen."
"You know what Edward?" I hissed as I closed my eyes, "You left me bleeding and never bothered to fix it. Now you think you can? It's too late Edward. You ruined my life, and I wont let you do it again."
"I will never leave you, Bella" he promised in a hurt tone.
"That's what you said last time, Edward." I looked him in the eyes one last time before I took off running.
He didn't follow me.
