Edward Cullen was standing four cars down from me, staring at me in horror. His face stood out from a sea of faces, all frozen in the same mask of shock. But of more immediate importance was the dark blue van that was skidding, tires locked and squealing against the brakes,
spinning wildly across the ice of the parking lot. It was going to hit the back corner of my truck, and I was standing between them. I didn't even have time to close my eyes.
Just before I heard the shattering crunch of the van folding around the truck bed, something hit me, hard, but not from the direction I was expecting. My head cracked against the icy blacktop, and I felt something solid and cold pinning me to the ground. I was lying on the pavement behind the tan car I'd parked next to. But I didn't have a chance to notice anything else, because the van was still coming. It had curled gratingly around the end of the truck and, still spinning and sliding, was about to collide with me again.
A low oath made me aware that someone was with me, and the voice was impossible not to recognize. Two long, white hands shot out protectively in front of me, and the van shuddered to a stop a foot from my face, the large hands fitting providentially into a deep dent in the side of the van's body.
Spinning 駕車飛馳
truck bed 車廂
blacktop 柏油路
oath 咒罵
providentially 如有神助地
愛德華·卡倫站在距我四輛車的位置，一臉驚恐地盯著我。他的臉格外醒目，雖然有無數張臉，組成了一片臉的汪洋，而且也全都呆若木雞，面無表情。但是更迫在眉睫的還是那輛滑行的深藍色客貨兩用車，輪胎鎖死了，剎車吱吱地尖叫，在停車場的冰面上打滑,旋轉著向我撞來。眼看就要撞著我卡車的后角了，而我正好站在它們之間。我連閉眼都來不及了。
就在我聽到那輛客貨兩用車嘎吱一聲撞上我卡車的底盤之前，什麼東西撞擊了我一下，很猛烈，但不是來自我以為的那個方向。我的頭砰的一聲磕在了冰冷的瀝青路面上，感覺有某樣硬而冷的東西把我壓在了地上。我躺在一輛棕黃色的轎車後面的人行道上，我當時就把車停在這輛車的隔壁。但是沒有機會去注意別的任何東西了，因為那輛客貨兩用車還在往前來。它繞過了卡車的車尾，發出了刺耳的磨擦聲，還在旋轉，還在滑動，眼看又要和我撞上了。
一句低聲的咒罵，讓我意識到有人跟我在一起，那聲音聽著很熟悉，不可能辨認不出來。兩隻長長的白手，箭一般地伸到了我前面來保護我，客貨兩用車在距我的臉一英尺遠的地方顫抖著停住了，說來湊巧，那雙大手與客貨兩用車側面的一道凹痕正好吻合。
