Recap:
"My life before you was like a dark night with no stars. Then I met you and it seemed like my whole sky just lit up. You are the reason that I get up everyday and the reason why I lye awake at night. All I can seem to think about is you. I want to spend all of eternity with you Bella…will you give me the honor and pleasure of calling you my wife?" I was crying now and I was at lost for words. What was I going to say at this point I didn't even know if I could say anything. "Uh…I…Uh" I stumbled to find the right words to say it. "I ……cannot…"
Die Alone
"I……cannot…wait to spend the rest of eternity with you Edward Anthony Manson Cullen!" With that he picked me up and spun me around in his arms. The look on his face was like something out of a story book. He was smiling that wonderful enchanting smile that I loved so much. Before I knew it the whole restaurant was full of the people that had been in there before, and they were cheering for me and Edward. I don't know what came over me but I soon started to cry from shear joy. I was soon to become one of the Cullen's and there was now nothing in the world that could ever stop that. My dream to be with Edward until the end of the world had just been granted and it felt like the hugest burden had been lifted off my shoulders.
Both of my parents were standing in the back of the crowd looking at me with a look of acceptance and so much love for me and Edward. They had finally come to know how much we both cared for each other and they had come to the fact that nothing ever could stop us from the love that we shared.
Edward slowly lowered me from the air and set me down right in front of him. He looked like if could have cried he would be right at this very moment. He looked deep into my eyes. "You will never know …how happy you truly make me every time I see your smiling face. I'm so happy that I will have the pleasure of seeing that smile until the world comes to an end. I once told you that my life was like a dark sky before you and right now my sky is so bright it's blinding. I love you so much Isabella Marie Manson Cullen." And then it happened the restaurants lights went out and the group of people got really quite. I felt someone pull me from Edwards hold and I felt him kind of pull back but then it seemed as if he just let go…so easily. I didn't understand what was going on.
The person that had a hold of me lead me through the crowd and it seemed as if everyone parted for us to make our way through. What was going on? I had just said yes to the man I loved and now someone who I didn't know was leading me away from him. I struggled to get lose from the grasp but the more I struggled the tighter the hand became around my wrist.
I tried to scream but nothing would come out. I pulled with all I had in me but nothing not even my nails digging into the persons hand would make them let go. I was starting to panic I felt tears rushing down my cheeks like cascading hot springs.
I was put into something small and I felt a jolt that seemed like something was being shut. The thing that I was in I later discovered was a crate that had been placed in a van right out side of the restaurant. I banged on the side walls of the small box but nothing bugged.
I knew I was in a vehicle and traveling some where but to where I didn't know.
I ended up crying myself to sleep after about two hours of being in that crate. The next thing I knew was that I was being awaken by the crate being lifted up and then set down again. Again I tried to scream but nothing would come out. I could here sounds that it seemed like I had heard once before but I could but picture where I had heard them. "Flight 128 will be departing in a matter of fifteen minutes. And again thank you for visiting Seattle International Airport." a lady with a crisp voice said over an intercom system. That's where I was at the Seattle International Airport. What was I doing here and why couldn't I talk. I had to go to the bathroom so bed but I knew that nothing I did was going to get me out of this little box. The sound of plain engine's humming as the plain, to somewhere, took off on the runway was ear piercing. Within the next six hours I experienced many bumps and loud noises but the humming never ceased to stop so I guessed that the crate I was in was put in the cargo department.
I was getting hungry and really, really thirsty. The humming stopped and the crate started to move again. I was starting to feel a little more alert and awake which was unlike what I had felt the whole way to…well wherever I was now. "Welcome to Italy sir" Said a women wit just the slightest accent. Italy? What was I doing in Italy? I didn't know but then everything got extremely quite just like it had at the restaurant. A sudden stinging pain went through my arm. I looked over and saw someone's hand holding the needle that was piercing my skin. I suddenly felt sleepy…my vision started to go black then I collapsed. Time passed and my body became stiff. I dreamed of what would be happening if I hadn't have been kidnapped. I dreamed of far off lands with great wonders and worlds that could only be described in words. My life was happier in my dreams but everyone knows that dreams can only last so long.
A awoke to the crate being opened and someone with cold strong arms lifting me up. On instinct I though it was Edward so I wrapped my arms around the man neck. I opened my eyes to see the man that was not who I thought he was and I released my arms immediately. That's when the last twenty four hours came rushing back to me like a painful memory that I had struggled to forget. The strong man laughed an evil laugh at the look on my face. I screamed and this time sound actually came out of my mouth. The man placed me on the ground with a wicked smile stretched across his oval shaped face. He still had his hold on my hand but it was less tight this time. He started to drag me towards great doors that looked to be hundreds of years old. I recognized them at once and I felt like throwing up. We entered them and there they all set like they knew we were coming and they most likely did since they were the ones that had kidnapped me. There faces had not changed since the last time I had looked upon there pale white faces.
One of the stood and slowly but gracefully walked towards me with and outreached hand that look to be only twenty years old if that. I did not shake the hand of this man because I knew as soon as I did that he would have the power to do anything he wanted with me and without a struggle. I simply turned my head as if I was a spoiled child asked to do something they did not want to do. His hand reached for my chin but I pulled back not wanting to feel his cold fingers on my warm skin. The only cold hands I wanted or even allowed on me were the Cullen's and this cold ones did not belong to my family. He stepped towards me more forcefully this time and the big man holding me wrist would not allow me to move an inch. I cursed the man in my mind but knew he had only done as he had been told. The cold ones long fingers ran across my cheek with the slightest touch that I have ever felt. My cheeks immediately turned a bright shade of red. "There it is. I knew it was in there somewhere I just had to find that magnificent color that makes me blood run cold with desire."
I felt so disgusted at what he had just said. I turned my head to look at him straight in the eyes and spit in his face. He then started to smile with evil intentions in his eyes. "Now Bella must you be so rude. That was truly uncalled for. "Well as a matter a fact I called for it so you had no choice in the matter." "Oh no Bella you are the one that has no choice in the matter. You will die at my hand and you will enjoy the way I suck the life right out of your helpless body. Your little Edward was supposed to take care of this but he waited too long and after all I can't have you telling our little secret can I? Edward's not here to protect you now. What ever will you do. Oh I know…die lonely, cold, and heartbroken. What a shame for such a beautiful girl or must I say women like yourself."
Time past as he paced in the great room in front of all the others of his kind. Great I thought now I was going to die and I would never get the chance to even marry Edward. I swore to myself that if I did get out of this alive that I would fly home to Forks as fast as I could and marry Edward. Then we would run away together never to be heard of again. I don't know where we would go but I didn't care as long as I got the chance to see that beautiful smile slide across his face once again.
He stopped pacing and looked up at the man that still had a hold of me and told he to take me to the third room. Wherever that was but just as we got to the door leading to the hallway he said something that I could barely make out. " Oh and Bella by the way welcome to Volturi. I know we are going to have so much fun." He said with another one of his evil grins. Then I remembered his name…Marcus. He was the one that told Edward that they would come and kill me if I wasn't changed soon. Then we disappeared into the dark hallway.
Thanks to everyone that reads my story and reviews. Thank you so much and I will be updating very soon. I really had a lot of fun with this chapter even though it was sad but trust me this is only the beginning and it does get better.
