Chapter 4 - Electric

I closed my eyes with great effort. I couldn’t take my eyes away from the electric sapphire blue eyes.

“Whirl around! Whirl around!” My mind screamed at me. I tried to di chuyển my body and follow my mind’s bidding but it seemed my body has a mind of its own. It refused to follow. I opened my eyes. The sapphire eyes that held me captive a while cách đây were no longer on the pond’s reflection. My body automatically turned its back on the pond. My eyes scanned the garden in front of me until my eyes found him.

He was casually leaning on a giant quả anh đào, anh đào blossom’s trunk. He was all in black. Casual black shirt. Faded black jeans. Black leather shoes.

My breathing hitched. Black only intensified his perfect beauty. My eyes hungrily devoured the perfection before me.

Wavy blonde hair almost past his shoulder blades. Smooth creaseless forehead. Perfectly arched golden eyebrows. Straight roman nose. A full seductive mouth that is almost feminine in shape. And then of course, the beautiful eyes framed bởi long thick golden lashes.

I realized that his face held the most melancholic expression. His deep blue eyes filled with such deep mystery.

An Angel of sorrow…

Though his stance was casual, unthreatening – I couldn’t help but notice that his whole aura screamed of danger. What my mind registered, my body immediately ignored. My feet automatically took a step forward.

STOP! What do bạn think you’re doing? – My mind rebelled.

I took a deep breath. What is happening to me? Who is this stranger? Where the hell is my family? Where’s Jacob?

JACOB. It was like a bucketful of iced water was poured over my head. I shook my head as I try to clear my disoriented mind, willing my body to be under my command, once more.

I stared back at the golden boy still leaning on the trunk. His mysterious eyes narrowed ever so slightly. He must have read the hesitation in my Sô cô la brown eyes for he raised his hand and seductively beckoned for me to di chuyển forward.

I was about to take a step phía trước, chuyển tiếp when…

“Nessie, NO!” Jacob bellowed.

He was instantly at my side. His whole body was trembling violently. His face was contorted in pure rage.

The Angel straightened up. His lips twisted into a beautiful cruel smile.

“Renesmee…” He called out to me like a lion purring, trying to seduce its prey.

Before my mind could register anything else, a great russet chó sói, sói lunged into the air. Its fangs exposed aiming for the angel’s throat.

“NO!” I screamed.

Can’t the Angel see Jacob can hurt him?

Can’t Jacob see the Angel is also dangerous?

I didn’t see it happen; things were too quick even for my half-vampire eyes, but suddenly Jacob was on the ground - deep vines wound tightly around his body. Jacob snarled. I threw myself on the ground, trying to free Jacob. My hands trembled as I realized that the vines that chained him to the ground were actually giant cây roots.

“Let him go!” I shrieked at the Angel - tears streaming down my face, blurring my vision.

“Renesmee…” He called out to me, once more.

I shook my head.

“No..no..” I choked. His mysterious eyes bored into mine. I could not fight the pull. It was like I was being magnetized towards him. I was sobbing now. I couldn’t believe I was doing this while the tình yêu of my life was chained helplessly to the ground.

I was in front of the mysterious Angel when I heard Jacob shout.

“Run, Nessie, run!” Jacob was sprawled naked on the floor - the roots cutting deeply into his skin, creating deep gashes. I stared at him in horror.

I turned to face the mysterious Angel, ready to beg for Jacob’s sake. If it’s me he wants, he can have me. Just let Jacob go.

Before I could utter a plea, his beautiful sapphire eyes turned bloody red. His lips pulled back in an ugly snarl.

Then,I screamed with all my might.
