"Don't move," the voice whispered. I tried to do what he instructed. It was hard; the instinct to take flight was nearly uncontrollable.
"Really?" Laurent seemed interested. "Is that why they left?"
"No," I answered honestly. "Jasper is more careful at home."
"Yes," Laurent agreed. "I am too."
The step forward was quite deliberate.
"Did Victoria ever find you?" I asked, breathless, desperate to distract him. It was the first question that popped into my head, and I regretted it as soon as the words were spoken. Victoria-who had hunted me with James, and then disappeared-was not someone I wanted to think of at this particular moment.
But the question did not stop him.
"Yes," he said, hesitating on that step. "I actually came here as a favor to her." He made a face. "She won't be happy about this."
When reading this part of the book, I got goose bumps, because the reader can see what's coming next, and it's not peaceful. I dove into this chapter, anticipating multiple adrenaline racing parts. This section is also somewhat intersting, becasue Bella hears a voice, telling her to stay put. Bella was frozen, scared and hurt. I also felt her feelings, because anyone would agree that coming close to a horrific death, is prettty scary. All I can say is I'd hate to ever be in Bella's shoes, definitely.
