The Plan

Bella’s Pov

16 months earlier

 

“We’re leaving Bella.”

I felt the air freeze in my lungs, suffocating me. “O-Okay..j-just give me some time to talk to Charlie..maybe come up with a reason to lea-”

Edward scoffed coldy cutting me off mid-sentence.

“ You misunderstood Bella...Why on Earth would you need to tell Charlie anything?” He stated looking politely confused.

“W-what do you mean Edward? Of course I need to tell Charlie I’m leaving! I can’t leave my fath-!” Edward chuckled quietly at first but gradually grew louder until he was heaving for unneeded air.

I felt a flash of annoyance rush through me for the first time since this began; at again being cut off and for feeling as though I’m at the butt of some terrible joke.

“Why are you laughing, Edward ?! I really don’t understand what is so funny about me leaving my poor dad without a word!” I stated annoyed while crossing my arms over my chest defensively.

If anything my statement made him laugh harder. I felt my ire at this entire situation rising steadily. It felt like I was watching this scene play out as a bystander-almost as if I was having an out of body experience. That is the only thing that can explain the next events.

“Goddamnit Edward Anthony Cullen! What the fuck are you laughing at?!” I cursed in a rare fit of anger that honestly surprised me.

Edward looked dumbstruck, I rarely if ever use any profanity around the century old vampire.But the surprise was gone as quickly as it came, replaced instead with a cold, unforgiving mask. I felt my stomach drop landing somewhere near my feet. I really took in his appearance then from his gravity defying bronze mop to his dark onyx color irises, his straight nose and god-like features were all the same, in fact he would have been beautiful if not for the hatred and malice oozing in his eyes and the malicious smirk on his face. At that moment he had never looked more like a villain of the night...absolutely monstrous.  

In a deceptively silky voice he replied, “What am I laughing at you ask?”

I nodded wordlessly while wrapping my arms around myself protectively suddenly weary.

He chuckled quietly then before he was suddenly inches from my face. Dark onyx burned into chocolate brown as his cool icy breath whispered across my lips causing a shiver to wrack down my spine. But it was his reply that stole the breath from my lungs.

“I’m laughing at you my dear...the silly lamb who foolishly fell for the lion...do you honestly think we are taking you with us?” He said amusingly before flashing his charmingly crooked smile…

“W-what…”

 

My eyes snapped open violently as I shot up in a cold sweat, chest heaving with uneven breaths. I looked around frantically as I tried to calm my racing heart. Taking in the pitch black darkness of my room only illuminated by the red numbers of my alarm. I sat there a moment glaring as it innocently displayed 3:23 a.m seemingly mocking my inability to sleep through an entire night since the...event. With a frustrated huff at realizing I couldn’t possibly win a glaring contest with an object that doesn’t blink or have eyes I smacked it off the small stand. Smirking smugly when it landed with a satisfying thud some ten feet away. ‘I won’ I thought sardonically before flopping ungracefully on my bed staring blankly up at my ceiling and listening to the heavy downpour that was common of Forks,Washington. ‘I hate rain… and the cold’ I thought angrily as I fought a shiver though not making any effort to pull up the duvet twisted at the end of my bed from the night flailing. Instead I simply took my frustrations out on the ceiling cursing all its imperfections and cracks. Trying desperately to keep my mind off of him or anything pertaining the...event five months previously. Sighing deeply I cast my eyes around my room mindlessly after having adjusted to the darkness. They fell on the brochure sitting inconspicuously on the nightstand where my mutinous alarm clock once resided.
