Enchanted (TwilightFanFic) *EDITING*

Chapter 32 - Explanations

BPOV

Dark. It was so dark in here. Where the hell was I? I could feel the pain in my wrist as I fought against the tight rope. My body was trembling with fear. I tried to scream but my throat felt very rough just like a sandpaper. Suddenly the door opened, bright light blinded me and came a woman's evil laugh. 

"Well, well, well. How are you Cinderbella?" She came near me but I can't decipher her face. 

"Who are you?!" My lips quivered in fear.

"Sshh. I'm going to make this fast, okay? Just stay still." She laughed again and took out a sharp blade in her back pocket.

A look of horror crossed my face and she kept on laughing. "You! Evil bitch!" I screamed.

Her faced hardened and looked like she was ready to rip me into sheds. "Be careful with your words, Isabella." 

She neared me and placed a handkerchief around my mouth. Without warning, she ran the blade, oh so slow, so torturing and painfully slow on my face. I screamed out in agony and tried to disentangle my wrist from the rope. Blood drip from my face to my shirt and she laughed, completely enjoying the show and her evilness.

My eyes shot open and I let out a sigh of relief when it was only a dream. I winced when I tried to sat up because my head was throbbing like hell. I scanned the room and flashbacks rushed into my mind - Tanya... kiss... running under the rain... tripped on a rock... van... The door flew open, revealing the person whom I hate the most - Edward. A hint of happiness crossed his face as soon as he saw me awake yet a deep sadness were hidden beneath those green eyes. 

He pressed the intercom and Dr. Carlisle went inside. He checked my vital signs and everything that was necessary to make sure that I was okay. "Bella, how do you feel?"

"Quite fine." 

"Okay. I'll be back later to check on you again." He smiled and gave a look to his son before walking out of the room.

I could feel the thickness of the atmosphere around us. Why can't he just leave me alone? He has Tanya to attend to, right? Why endure the boredom with me here in the hospital? Lots of questions clouded my mind and I felt disappointed that he had to sit there and stare at me. 

"Where's my parents?" I croaked out.

"Renee left to clean up but she'll be back later." He said.

He sat beside me and took my hand in his. "Bella..."

I looked at him and my eyes were stinging with unshed tears. "Not now, Edward. I don't want to hear your pathetic excuse." 

"Bella... please. There's nothing going on about me and Tanya. She was nothing to me. I don't know why she was there that day. When she kissed me, I was unable to act right away because I was too shocked to comprehend what was happening. She was never part of my past. Bella, please say something."

"Right after you came from Alaska, I asked you why you felt troubled but you did not say anything. You lied to me, Edward. You could've told me. You should've trusted me."

"It was true that I felt troubled. When I visited, I didn't know she'd be there. She started flirting but I swear, I turned her down. I didn't tell you because I thought that it would not come this far."
