Chapter Three: He Took Me to the River
Third Day
Bella's Pov
When I woke up the next morning, on the third day, I saw it was one of Fork's unusual sunny days. I took a quick shower and dressed into a white sundress with white sandals. With hesitation, I put on a necklace Alice had given me. I had found everything the Cullens had given to be under the floorboards. As soon as I finishing tying my hair back with a white ribbon, the doorbell rang. Being careful not to trip over my feet, I ran down the stairs and answered it.
Daray smiled when he saw me and held out his hand. I took it. When we go to the river, he showed me the roses and held me in his arms. His lips hovered for a second above mine, hesitating before our lips met. We broke apart and I lay on the bank of the river and as the light wind caressed my face and body. Daray reminded standing behind me, with his shadow looming over me. He got down on one knee and kissed me again. The last thing I heard was him muttering under his breath. I looked up. He was kneeling above me with a rock in his fist.
Daray's Pov
On the last day I came to her house and picked her up. When we reached the river where the wild roses grew, I kissed her while ignoring the sweet smell of her soul, making my hunger grow. She lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief. I kissed her goodbye.
"All beauty must die," I whispered as I picked up a rock in my fist and brought it down on her skull.
I stared at her, before throwing the rock in the river and rinsing the blood of my hands. Afterwards, I returned to her body and removed the ribbon from her hair, as well as a necklace. I caressed her body before picking up her body and setting it in the water, close to the shoreline. There was a rosebush close by. My hand reached out and picked one of the red roses and I planted it between her teeth. My hand rested at the base of her neck as I stared in her open sad brown eyes and with two gentle fingers I closed her eyes.
Only a few more minutes until her soul would leave her body and I could feed. My head shot up as I heard a tree breach snap.
Edward's Pov
I ran throw the woods at top speed, following Bella's scent. With my sensitive hearing, I could hear a river ahead and I sped up. Alice's vision was set next to a river. I was so stupid to think that I would keep Bella safe by leaving her. Now she was at the mercy of a demon who fed off the souls of the broken hearted. Bella would have been an easy target and those demons can control someone with their cold gaze.
My thoughts stopped as a familiar sweet scent it my nose. Bella's blood. I sped up, surpassing my own record for running. I reached the edge if the forest and stopped. The demon was knee deep in the water, with his hand on Bella's chest. He closed her eyes and I took a step forward, stepping on a tree branch and making it snap. The demon's cold eyes meet mine and he grinned.
A growl ripped from my throat as he stepped out of the river and faced me. I charged at him and threw my fist into his heart, shredding it. The demon was weak from hunger and he didn't stand a chance against a pissed off vampire. My other hand punched through his head. As the demon slide to the earth, his body caught on fire and turned him to ash.
Slowly, I turned and walked into the water. I crotched next to Bella and gathered her in my arms. If I could have, I would have been weeping. My body stilled as I held my dead Bella in my cold arms. It was only then did I hear it -- The ever so faint sound of Bella's heartbeat. My eyes widened in surprise that Bella was still alive, but barely. There wasn't much time and there was only one way to save her.
I leaned my head down and sank my teeth into her neck.
AN:
Ok! That's the end!!! Originally I was just gonna have Bella be dead, but I watched The Princess Bride recently and it's making me soft. So the reason why I didn't have details on Daray was that he was just a demon looking for a meal and that was about it!

They call me The Wild Rose For my name was Elisa Day From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one For her lips were the color of the roses That grew down the river, all bloody and wild
When he knocked on my door and entered the room My trembling subsided in his sure embrace They call me The Wild Rose For my name was Elisa Day On the second day I brought her a flower On the second day he came with a single red rose "If I show you the roses, will you follow?"
They call me The Wild Rose For my name was Elisa Day And the last thing I heard was a muttered word As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow They call me The Wild Rose For my name was Elisa Day Sorry it took me forever to get it up. I've been so busy that I don't get to do anything outside of work or my classes. That's why I haven't been able to finish this last chapter and why the sequel for Flower of Carnage isn't up yet. Sadly the outline for the sequel isn't finished yet, but during the winter break before the spring semester starts, I will type up the first few chapters and post them. I only have time to work on the outline during work in between customers.
Thank you for your patience and sorry for this long delay!!!
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
She stared in my eyes and smiled
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped at the tears that ran down my face
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?"
He said: "Will you give me your loss and your sorrow"
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
She lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die"
And bent down and planted a rose between her teeth
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
