I opened my eyes and the first thing that I saw was Jacob sleeping beside me. I stroked his face with my hand. I was thinking about how happy I am right in this moment. I never want it to end. I never want him to leave. But today is Saturday. The day the Volturi are coming. Right when my thoughts drift off to what today might bring, I heard a car outside. While making sure that I didn't wake Jacob up I got up from my bed to look out the window. What I saw outside was Alice's car but I didn't see her in the car.
"BELLA!" Alice screamed in my ear.
"AHHHHHHHHH!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. She really scared me. When I screamed Jacob heard me and he woke up right away.
"Bella, are you okay?" Jacob panicked. Then he realized that Alice was in the room and she was smiling. She was probably thrilled that she scared the hell out of not only me, but Jacob too.
"What are you doing here?" Jacob asked Alice.
"I'm here to get you," Alice snickered.
"What?" I asked.
"Jacob has to be at my house when the Volturi come or they will go after him. It's the safest way," Alice said this to me.
"Can't I go?" I asked although I did remember the conversation that I had with Jacob last night.
"No," Jacob and Alice both said at the same time.
"Why not?" I whined.
"Bells we went over this already," Jacob said this and I knew he was right.
"Fine," I said feeling defeated.
"Come on Jacob let's go," Alice went to grab Jacob's hand but he pulled away from her.
"We have to leave already?" Jacob asked.
"Well the Volturi won't be here for another three hours but I want to make sure that you're there. And that you know what to do when they get here. And what to say. That's a lot. So we should really leave right now," Alice went to grab his hand again, but like the last time, Jacob pulled away.
"Jacob Black let's go!" Alice yelled and she was very frustrated. While I watch him continually dodge her hand reaching for his, I realize that I'm crying. I could no longer hear what Alice was saying to Jacob. Or why he wouldn't leave. It was a very strange feeling. I could see but it was a little blurry, due to the crying. It was like everything was on mute. I wasn't making a noise as I cried. Or if I was, I couldn't hear myself. Then Alice left the room, to my surprise. When Alice was gone, Jacob turned to me and started wiping the tears off my face. Suddenly I could hear again. I heard him telling my how much he loves me. And he was reassuring me that he'd be alright and we would be together again shortly. Then he told me that he needed to go now.
It was hard, but I managed to choke out, "I love you," He then kissed my forehead and got up to leave. As he was walking out of my room I said, "Stay safe," he turned around, nodded, and he walked away. I crawled over to my window to watch them off. I saw Alice skipping to her car, with Jacob walking slowly behind her. Before Jacob got in the car he turned around and met my gaze. He mouthed, "I love you Bella," to me. I wanted to return the favor but before I could he was in the car, then the car was gone. I could feel nothing. All I felt was emptiness. I crawled back into my bed. I curled u into a ball and I just laid there. Silent. All I could hear was the thumping of my heart. I didn't cry. I had no more tears to cry. Stay here. And wait. That's all I would be doing until Jacob was back. Even though Alice told me he would be fine I still wasn't sure. She had told me that the future can change. I'm afraid of the future. Nothing will reassure me until I see his face again. Nothing.
"Are you Isabella Swan?" I heard some one say from across my bedroom. I turned over and gasped in fear. He's a vampire. With chalky skin. And long black hair. And red eyes.
"Well are you?' he said as he walked closer to my bed.
"Yes," I whispered through my deep breathes. My eyes began to fill with more tears. He came closer touched my forehead and smiled.
"Yes, indeed you are. I'm sorry that I called you Isabella. I guess you go by Bella," he smiled. He's just a few feet from me now.
"What do you want?" I asked. Now I'm so scared that I'm shaking.
"I can tell you that your... werewolf will be fine," he backed up a little after saying this. Maybe he doesn't want to kill me after all.
"What's the catch?" my voice a little shaky.
"You know far too much about us," by us he meant vampires.
"I haven't told anyone," I said sure this would get me off the hook.
"It's just not safe for us to have a human that knows so much,"
"Well... other imprintees know,' I said. Then felt guilty for ratting them out.
"Not a much as you do. Anyway you knew before you were imprinted on," he said. Wow this guy knows lot. How does he know that? How does he know what imprint even means?
"I swear I'll never tell a soul," I said. He walked closer to my beds side again.
"The only way that you and your werewolf will both stay safe is if you are turned into a vampire," he said this with much force.
"What if I don't want to be a vampire?" I said, my voice shaky.
"Then you and that werewolf of yours are doomed," he said while getting closer to my bed every second.
"BELLA!" Alice screamed in my ear.
"AHHHHHHHHH!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. She really scared me. When I screamed Jacob heard me and he woke up right away.
"Bella, are you okay?" Jacob panicked. Then he realized that Alice was in the room and she was smiling. She was probably thrilled that she scared the hell out of not only me, but Jacob too.
