I Ran Out of Time:

I do not own Twilight or anything related to Twilight, but I did write this fanfiction story. The property of Twilight to the amazingly brilliant Stephenie Meyer and to Summit Entertainment for making her books come to life, for without the books and movies we wouldn't be obsessed ;)

I had just left a bookstore I was purchasing a book from and as I was finding my way back over to the dress store where Jess and Angela were I could help but feel that things weren't safe. I was walking down the stairs towards an alley that led back to the crowded streets of Port Angeles, and that's when I noticed two men, who just happened to notice me and started heading my direction. "Hey, where you running to?" The older one asked, his voice slurring slightly. I kept going, but I was cornered now, and when I tried to get away another one looked at me, grabbing onto my shoulders.

"Woah, woah, where do you think you're going?"

"Yeah where you think you're going?" Another man asked, menacingly.

Soon there was no escape. I couldn't get out of their evil grasps, and I was hurt. I could feel myself bleeding all over my body, I could move due to my cracked rib, which was caused by a foot holding me down, while the worst of tortures happened to me. I couldn't handle this on my own. And now, before one of them was going to cover my mouth I screamed. I was surprised at the volume of the scream and the guys stopped in their tracks. Knowing someone would here my scream.

"All right boys, it's time to get out of here." The leader said, fast.

"Damn." The other said, and kicked me leaving my forehead bleeding.

I felt so ashamed... I had lost my dignity to a group of strangers. I couldn't escape. I couldn't escape the guilty that now circled me, but soon I couldn't even think. I then was sucked into darkness, the only thing I felt was the back of my head hit the pavement.

It was dark inside my own mind, but I was soon broght back to my... nearly bare and weakened body.. by a voice I knew all to well. "Bella." The Soft Velvet voice sang to me, worried and scared for me.

EPOV

I was following Bella in Port Angeles when suddenly Bella was no longer on my radar, so to speak. I was now in full panic. I had walked threw the city unable to find her for almost two hours, when I heard a familiar scream and my phone rang at the same time. I answered the phone and put it on speaker in my car. "Hello?" I answered in a voice full of panic.

"Edward! It's Alice! Bella is in trouble! She has been.. let's say hurt by a group of guys." Rage filled my body and mind.

"Ok! Where is she?" I asked almost sobbing.

"I think by the old canning building by the indian tribe library place." Alice said in a hurried voice. I freaked and instead of staying in the car I ran at a human pace to an alley in between two buildings and I ran at vampire speed now and I could smell the blood that had crazed me when I first met Bella. I ran faster. The closer I got the more potent the scent of her blood became. I was truly terrified and I pulled my phone out of my pocket and dialled Carlisle's number.

*Ring... Rin-*

"Hello this is Carlisle."

"Dad, it's me."

"Oh Edward, where are you son?."

"I need you to get to Port Angeles as fast as your vampire speed can get you."

"Ok. I will bring Esme with me. Is something wrong?"

"I lost sight of Bella and I.. I just heard her scream... just please get here, just in case something bad has happened." I heard Carlisle's breath catch in his throat.

"Ok, I am on my way. I hope Bella is ok, but if it comes to changing her into one of us will you be ready to show her how much you actually love her?"

"Of course. That's what I was planning to-" I gasped as I saw Bella. The was laying there, everything removed and torn from her except for her undergarmets. She was bleeding profusely. I could smell it, it was tempting, but not in a way of killing her, but it kicked my savior instincts into gear. "BELLA!" I yelled.

"What is it Edward?" Everyone asked paniced.

"GET HERE NOW!" Carlisle hung up and I ran over to Bella. I feel to my knees at the sight. I placed a hand on her back and she was really cold. I immediately removed my jacket and wrapped her in my arms. Rocking her back and forth she would cringe. Bella was breathing, but very slowly and it sounded like she was in pain. Bella was cut in several places, a bleeding gash in her wrist and she was mostly bruised. Physically and emotionally. There was a boot mark on her leg and I wished I could've been here earlier. I was going to curse myself for the rest of my existence. "Bella." I said calmly. I was horrified by what the group had done to her. They had gang raped her and left her here to die. She was bleeding from her cheek and her head, but I could sense where they had touched bella, If I didn't care right now and have Bella in my arms I probably would have killed all of those boys. I was beginning to worry when she wasn't answering me... I didn't want to loose the one woman I loved. Joy filled me when Bella finally spoke. Bella was coughing at first.

"Edward." She said weakly. I saw her looking into my eyes and I took my hand and smoothly moved her blood coated hair out of her face. There was a cut in her forehead making her bleed all over her forehead. I took a tissue from my pocket and began trying to stop the bleeding on her forehead. I took my other hand on smoothly moved it threw her hair and kissed her on the forehead.

"I am here Bella. Don't worry I am not going anywhere. You are safe now." Bella smiled at me and finally carlisle got here with both Esme, Alice, and Rosalie. I kept Bella in my arms and everyone ran over to me.

"Edward, is she alright?" Alice asked, worried that Bella had recieved this kind of treatment.

"I don't know." Bella looked around confused. And then she looked at me. Carlisle had brought a blanklet with him and gave it to me. I wrapped Bella in the blanket and she cuddled close to me.

"Edward... how.. how did you know where I was?"

"I... I heard someone scream so when I ran ro find the one screaming it was you. Bella would... would this be the wrong time to tell you that I love you?" I asked her calmly. Carlisle smirked at me as he observed Bella's injuries. I didn't look and we all didn't breathe so the blood wouldn't intrigue us. I could hear Carlisle's thoughts with Bella's injuries. She is bruised and cut up pretty bad, but... she has a broken wrist, a broken leg and a cracked rib. I am so sorry Edward.. She has lost way to much blood. Bella chuckled very quietly and weakly.

"No... Ed..." She swallowed roughly. "Edward... I love you to more than you will ever know." I could see Esme and Alice smile, and my fears became real when Bella's heart began to slow. I saw the regret in their faces, but I knew what we had to do. I was the one who would have to change her and that wouldn't be easy, but to save her mind I would try, I would try my hardest... I had Esme.. not watch me... but be aware just incase I were to lose control, but then Carlisle put his hand on my shoulder.

"Edward, it's ok.. I can do it. The thirst may be to much for you." I looked Carlisle and shook my head.

"No, it's alright.. I can do it. If I love her, I can save her." Carlisle smiled and nodded.

"Well, bring her to the house when you are done, See you soon." And they were gone. It was only Bella and I and I knew what I had to do.

"Ed.. Edward.. what was he talking about?

"Bella, I am going to make you Better. It will hurt for a while, but after the pain is done you will feel so much better. I promise." Bella nodded and I first kissed her neck.

"I love you Edward." I sighed happily and bit Bella releasing the toxic venom into Bella's system, that would make her one of us, the perfect mate for me. "I love you Bella. See you very, very soon." I kissed her forehead, picked her up and carried her back to the Cullen house where we would be forever, and... possibly try to see if Bella could be trained to continue living with Charlie until she graduates.. but if she couldn't... well that is something that we would deal with at a later date. Unfortunetaly if it came to that than she would have to fake her death... pain shivered threw me, knowing what this would do.. once I got her to my house I had Alice find clothes for Bella and she dressed her after Alice, and Rosalie insisted to clean her up. I waited for Rosalie and Alice to finish and when they were done I went to the room and I awaited anxiously for the pain and screams to disipate and for Bella to be in my arms, safe. Finally safe from the easiest of possible harms.
