By the time we went down the hill, changed into the clothes that Hunter had brought for the both of us and went down the hill, everything had already gone silent in the dead of the night.
I was walking ahead, Hunter just a step behind me. We were about to come out of the woods when he suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me back. I turned to face him, staring in question.
"I want to do something." he suddenly murmured, his ocean gaze in turmoil, but filled with a warmth that I was trying to get used to whenever he stared at me.
I knitted my brows, smiling a little, "Do what?"
He was silent for a brief second, but then his hand slipped to the back of my head, his body got closer, and the next thing I knew, his lips we
Searching for Bella, I was eventually led out of the house where I saw her standing by the door, staring toward the blank path in silence. Her back was facing me. I had been worried sick about her being in love with Hunter. Did she feel attracted to him? She had kissed him, this meant she was not completely unaffected by him. Had she... had she fallen in love with him? I wanted her back but not at the expense snatching her happiness. Which only meant that I had to do better and bring her attention back to me. I have to do everything to win her and not let her fall in love with Hunter.I inched closer to her, and placed my head on her shoulder. She did not react. I put my hand on her waist, staring in the direction she was looking at but there was nothing interesting."What are you staring at so intently?" I asked softly
"You can't force me to accept you." Bella said calmly."I am asking you." Damon murmured softly, "...begging you.""You lost that right three years ago." she muttered, "I don't owe you anything.""But I owe you everything, don't I?" he stepped closer to her, placing his forehead on hers, "there was no moment when I did not love you. I was just terrible at accepting and expressing that. But not anymore. There will not be any mistakes ever again.""Do you really think that I am going to believe you ever again?" she scoffed."I will do everything to make sure you do, Bella."She rolled her eyes and snat
I was still for a moment in my place, unable to even breathe. Damon's blood burst out of his chest the moment the bullet hit him. The men who had attacked us immediately made a run. Without thinking, I started to run after them. My blood was boiling, my veins bursting in need of grabbing the necks of those men and slice them in half."Bella!" Renee's screams came for afar, "Bella! Damon! We need to take him to hospital!"Her last words halted my run, making me almost fall down. I stopped but my breathing did not slow down. It was like someone had ripped my throat out right now and I could not breathe at all.I watched with burning eyes as those men got inside a big car, and drove off. There was no number plate, nothing to identify the car.

My hands slipped through his soft hair as I lathered them with soap and rubbed. He stayed quiet and still, making it easier for me to focus on the task. I poured water on his head, and once done, I grabbed another towel off the rack, and put it on his head, wiping his head with gentle strokes to make sure not to hurt him.His eyes were now open. I was standing and he was sitting down, his face close to my upper waist and breasts. I could feel his breaths on me that I tried very hard to ignore while wiping his hair."Almost done." I muttered.His hand suddenly grabbed my hand, "Can you wipe my nape, please? There is water."I shivered from his touch, tingles running from my hands down to the tip of my toes. I n
I was still with shock, unable to move as unimaginable thousands of sensations filled me at once. Like life had returned to me. Like I had not even realized that I had not breathing for so many years and just now the fresh gust of air had entered my lungs finally.His lips were smack on mine, his breaths falling on my cheeks, and his scent surrounding me as if I had finally come back alive.But then, as it dawned upon me, without thinking twice, I pushed at his shoulders hardly. He stumbled back, a moan of pain escaping his lips and making me aware that I had touched his wound unintentionally."I am sorry! I am so sorry." I said with shaking voice, walking to him hastily to support him to sit down on his bed.He had his eyes closed, his head dropped down on his neck and his body shaking a little. He was filled with pain, and could not hide it."I am sorry. I did not mean to hurt you." I begged again, my hands slipping up to his shoulder to tilt him back a little so I could see if the
My chest burnt terribly. The look in Damon's eyes was one that I would never be able to forget."Okay." he said softly, and got off me. I sniffled, suddenly washed by the loss of his warmness on meHe stood up straight. His body stiff and his face pale. His shoulder was dripping with blood. The white bandage was covered in blood.My heart thumped painfully as my eyes followed the trail of blood. I got off the bed, sniffled and then wiped the tears off my face, "I will send a doctor." I muttered, and walked out of his room.I walked straight to the doctor's room on the side. The lights were on. The doctor was scribbling something on the piece of paper."Damo
I had not realized that my eyes were wide open and I was breathing heavily even though I was not in my senses. I was jerked back to the reality when soft, gentle coos of 'I am here. Bella, I am here with you.' echoed through my mind like a sound coming from somewhere very far away.The blur in front of my eyes cleared slowly, and the voice also grew closer. There were arms around my waist, a head resting on my shoulder. A hug. A voice softly whispering in my ear, "It is okay. I am with you." I felt the warmth of a body next to mine, and I could sense the soft light of day beyond the darkness that had enveloped me.The room was washed with sunlight. Damon's scent was everywhere. I was sobbing terribly. My heart was filled with pain.His hand was rubbing my back with soft stro
