My Twilight Love Story
Chapter 12: Laurent is Back
 
                I woke up the next morning after I had a dream about the Pierce’s. They were in my forest waiting for me. Seth wanted to apologize and beg me to take him back. It was all so real. I found myself rushing to get ready and running out the door. When I got to the forest it was empty. I checked all the good trees, the tree house, and the underground tunnel I had built for emergencies. Those emergencies consisted of hiding from my family. The place was deserted. I went back to the patch of wildflowers and collapsed. Then I felt a familiar feeling. The feeling of a vampire. I looked up hoping to see Jared, Keith, Leana, Ariel, or even Rachel. Instead, I saw Laurent standing on the other side of the forest. “Hello, Bella. I didn’t think I’d find you here.” He crooned. “W-what are you doing here?” I stammered. “I came here for two reasons. First, to see the Pierce’s, and second, to see if they are still protecting you. The second was a favor to Victoria. She wants to kill you because Seth killed James. She thinks it’s only fair. An eye for an eye, a mate for a mate. Now, why are you in the forest alone?” he asked. I sat there contemplating everything he had just said. Victoria was hunting me, and was going to kill me. “This is my forest.” I said with confidence. “Ah, I see. It seems like the Pierce’s have left. That’s strange that they didn’t take you with them. Do you still see them?” he asked. Suddenly, I saw and heard Seth. “Lie, tell him we come every so often.” He ordered. “Yeah, they come and see me once a month.” I answered. “When I went to the house, there was no trace of them being there.” He said confused. “They don’t go to the house anymore. They just come and see me. They left last week again.” I lied. “I understand. Victoria won’t be happy with me for doing this.” He muttered. "Doing what?!” I demanded. “Killing you. It’s nothing personal, Bella. I just can’t help myself. I haven’t hunted and you smell so appetizing.” He explained. “Threaten him. Tell him we’d kill him if he killed you.” Seth growled. “They would know it was you who killed me. They would kill you in vengeance.” I told him. “But would they care? Honestly, you must not mean that much to them if they left you without protection.” He began. I have protection. I thought to myself. “You should be thanking me. Victoria plans on taking months, even years to slowly kill you. You will only feel a slight pinch if I do it. Take your pick.” I thought it over and came to my decision. I nodded for him to kill me. As he was getting ready I said, “Seth I love you.” Then we heard it. The growling of five huge wolves. Then they came into sight. The russet brown wolf broke from the line and came to stand behind me. “You thought I had no protection, Laurent? You thought wrong.” I whispered. The other four wolves charged after the vampire as Jeremiah wrapped himself around me. When the others were gone, Jer motioned for me to get on his back. With a running start, I climbed up.  Then we headed back to the Res.
