I've been wrestling with this idea for awhile now and I just couldn't tame it so here is the preface of an upcoming story of mine. I'm not sure when I'll start actually posting, it'll depend on how everything is going with Secret Life, but I wanted to give you all a little taste of what's to come! This fic is inspired by Beauty and the Beast and I want to give a huge thanks to Julie who is helping me by listening to my ramblings about it and giving her input.
The last thing I remember before everything went black, except for the fiery hate burning behind his eyes, was her. And just before he hit me that last time, I smiled. I fucking smiled. I was at peace. For the first time in seven years I felt a stillness settle within me.
I glanced behind him and pleaded with her to leave it alone. I was okay with dying for her if that’s what this was. She saw past all my indiscretions, all my scars and my demons. And she loved me. God she loved me. If that was all I knew of love in my entire life it was more than enough. I didn’t deserve it and I never asked for it. It’s funny how things find you when you need to be found. I was so fucking lost and she saved me.
“Edward!” She screamed. I closed my eyes as she started towards us but it was too late.
“I love you Bella,” I whispered. The last blow hit right below my eye and that was it. I was lost again to the darkness.
