Lost and found {Twilight; Bella and Edward love story}

Chapter 2: Intruder

A/N 

Just letting the small majority of people who are actually reading this story know, that I will be updating regularly at the moment, because I have so many ideas that I need to get down haha! I hope you enjoy this chapter!!

Bella's POV

School dragged on slowly like it did most days, which I didn't exactly mind. It gave me time to distract myself, to plunge into my school work and focus on nothing else. Unfortunately, this didn't always happen. My mind always managed to wander off and think about my painful past, the hole in my chest burned with every memory. 

I received weird looks at school. My fellow peers believed I was overreacting about the whole breakup thing; but they didn't have the same feelings I had felt, and still do feel, for Ed-  

For him.

I tried concentrating on my work, but the conversation with Charlie kept nudging its way into my mind. Was he really trying to get rid of me? Was he completely over my constant moping and sadness. I couldn't blame him. It wasn't his fault that the love of life had left me weak and defenceless. The memory of him saying the words, "I don't want you," crept into my train of thought. 

I bit my lip in hope that I could control the cry that was forcing its way out of my chest. This was normal. I couldn't imagine a life without Charlie in it. If I hadn't decided to come and live with him all those months ago, I would never had met the Cullen's, never would have been introduced to the supernatural world. Charlie and I, well, we're basically the same person. Without him, I don't know who I would be...

I was glad when the final bell interrupted my thoughts, and I quickly put my hood up as I walked through the rain to my truck. After heaving my bag full of books into the cab, I turned on the engine and reached for the radio to play the CD. 

My hands felt nothing but the odd hole that was left after I spent hours digging at the radio console that Emmett had got my for my birthday with my finger nails, making them bleed with pain. 

Sighing, I ignored the excruciating pain in my chest and headed home.

When I pulled into my driveway, I noticed that Charlie's cruiser wasn't there.

Late shift, I thought.

He often did that to avoid my company. 

I walked up the front steps to the porch to fetch the key from under the mat and let myself in.

As soon as I walked in the front door, I knew something wasn't right. I placed my bag next to the stairs and made my way into the living room, but I froze in place as a pair of malicious red eyes take grasp of my own. A tall man –should I even say man- stood leaning against the brick fireplace, arms crossed across his body in a possessive stance.

I couldn't find my voice to even gasp.

I couldn't breathe.

"It's okay. I mean no harm," he said earnestly, however the flash of danger in his eyes said otherwise. "I'm very sorry to invade your home like this, but I really had no choice."

My chest tightened as I realised I still hadn't managed to breathe. I steadily inhaled, surprised at the calmness my action conveyed. My eyes slowly graced over the figure in front of me; pale stone skin, wide scarlet eyes, inhumane beauty and velvety voice. My mind suddenly came to a conclusion. There's a vampire standing in my house.

"I know that you know what I am," he stated with ease, taking a small step towards me. Something about his whole demeanour told me not to trust this...creature. He wasn't like the Cullen's. Ed...he had told me of others of his kind. They were dangerous, but I had no idea of the intention the vampire that stood adjacent to me had.

"You're curious," he smirked and I waited for a further explanation, my voice still lost.

"My name is Tyde, I'm a member of the Volturi guard."

Volturi. Why did that word ring a bell in the back of my mind? My brows furrowed in confusion as I stumbled back into the wall behind me.

"I suppose you're wondering why I'm here," he continued, "I've come on behalf of Aro, head of Volterra. It had come to Aro's attention that you are informed of our kind," he stated whilst dragging a finger across the top of a picture of my father and I, the dust crumbling as he rubbed it between his fingers.

"If you're wondering if I'll tell anyone, there's no need to worry," I said surprising myself as I spoke, my voice fluent and confident, obviously not reflecting my true feelings that were eating me up inside, "I haven't, and won't tell anybody."

He laughed, "Ah, if it were only that simple little Bella," a demonic smile spread across his face revealing a set of perfect gleaming white teeth, his weapon.

"H-how do you know my name," my nerves finally making an appearance.

"We were well informed of your existence from a truly loyal woman. Absolutely stunning that creature, the most vibrant orange hair..." he mumbled to himself.

My breath suddenly hitched as I inhaled. Victoria.

"I'm not sure if you're aware Bella," he breathed, "but it is one of our most vital laws that humans are not to know of our kinds existence. See, they pose a major threat to us, so it's simpler to not have them know. Unfortunately for those who do find out...well, they are either  transformed into one of us as punishment, or they are taken in as a prisoner for the Volturi."

It was then that the thought crossed my mind. I've been given the chance to become a vampire, what I always wanted, just not by the person I had thought of...

"You can change me," I say suddenly, not even realising the words that were escaping my lips. What are you doing Bella? "You can change me into a vampire."

Tyde's eyes widened with my sudden outburst, but he looked to the floor and shook his head."You won't be transformed Bella," he said slowly, "I'm taking you in as prisoner, Aro's orders."

What was happening? I'm being taken in as a prisoner by the Volturi? 

Edwards POV

It's been months since I left my Bella and torture wouldn't suffice to describe how I've felt since I left. I thought that leaving her would keep her safe and I would soon forget about her, and her of me. But she's all I think about every hour of the day. 

I just hope my Bella is being safe, I hope her life is happy and fulfilled. 

I love her so much, but I need to let go.
