Unexpectedly Chapter 17 Teaser pt. II

“Edward,” Bella said in a stern voice. He hadn’t even noticed her in the kitchen. He looked up at her, blurry eyed and weak. He didn’t think he had it in him to cry again, but watching what he couldn’t have standing there was almost too much.

He looked away from her.

“Edward!” she shouted. The loudness startled him.

He looked at her, pained and perturbed. His tone of voice turned almost spiteful. “What has he said now then, Isabella? Is he going to lock you up inside the house and throw away the key? Is he…”

Edward stopped as he looked properly at Bella’s face. She looked absolutely terrified. Her face was completely tear-stained – but even more so than when he had been in the room with her. She had put her clothes on but she looked an absolute mess. Her eyes weren’t meeting his. She was fidgeting, she was hunched, she was scared and something was seriously wrong.

“Isabella?” Edward asked, leaning into her. “What is it?”

She looked at him, her eyes bloodshot and scared. “We have to leave.”

“What do you mean? Leave where? What did your father say?”

Bella rushed over to him frantically, pulling him from the chair. “We don’t have time, Edward! We have to go right NOW. Please, get in the car!”

Edward laughed as if bemused. “What’s the matter? If you’re father is angry about you coming over here then I will talk to him, I promise but please just tell me…”

Bella pinched Edwards arms as hard as she could so that he would stop talking. “Please, Edward. We need to go right now. It’s not my dad, it’s a lot worse. We need to get out of Forks right this minute or… or…”

“Or what?” Edward said, reaching over to the side for his car keys.

“Or I could be in a lot of danger.”

The new chapter is a little dramatic, but let's face it are there any chapters in this story sans-drama? Er, no. ANYWAY, almost finished writing this - sorry I've been so MIA. The new chapter should be up either today or tomorrow. Thanks for reading.
