Another Life, Another Death
I groaned and rolled over face down as if my head buried in a pillow would prevent me from waking up. I was forcefully turned face up by the cold marble hands that had woken me. They lifted my tired body into a sitting position, although I stubbornly kept my eyes closed. Icy lips lightly touched my forehead, and were gone within a second.
"Edward," I complained. He never interrupted my sleep in the morning. What was his problem? I slowly opened my eyes, expecting to see the room illuminated by the dull grey light of Forks, Washington. It was pitch black.
"Bella," Edward's velvet voice whispered urgently from the other end of the room, "You need to get up. We have to hurry."
"Edward, I-" I protested, about to lie down and go back to sleep, my brain intoxicated by grogginess. Halfway through falling back onto the soft pillows of Edward's golden bed, I felt Edward's marble arm catch me around the waist and one of his flawless fingers cover my lips.
"We're leaving. Now."
I could not process what he had just said. I just stared into Edward's frozen eyes like a moron for a long while until the haze of sleep wore off and my brain started functioning properly. My expression turned quickly to distress, as I understood my new husband's words.
"But we just got married! We just- what about Charlie? Jacob would want- everything ruined!" I began to panic. It was not supposed to happen like this. I would get to say goodbye… to everyone.
"We don't have time. It's too late." There was a not of regret in his voice. I eyed him suspiciously.
"You tell me what's going on, right now, Edward Cullen! Or I'll… I'll…" I couldn't think of a good enough threat, "I won't get out of this bed!"
It was silent for a minute as we stared at each other, his face painted and slightly irritated, and my expression what I hoped to be authoritative.
"No," was his simple answer and I could tell by his stern look that he would say no more. Edward swiftly lifted me into his arms and set me carefully but quickly on the floor. He handed me a pile of my clothing and a new jacket that I didn't recognize.
