Earlier…
"Alice, Alice the video--- he knew you, Alice, he knew where you came from." My sweet Bella had said, barely conscious but safe at the moment. Alice, momentarily confused since she hadn't focused hard on the vision of Bella and…James, looked behind her to see a small camcorder balance atop of the studio's stereo. It was still recording, according to the red light.
He had filmed himself hurting my beautiful, innocent Bella.
If he wasn't already ripped to pieces by Emmet and Jasper, I would've killed him with a smile on my face. For Bella.
As I left with my Bella unconscious in my arms, Alice brought the camcorder, stopped the recording, turned it off, and brought it with her.
…Back to the present…
"Edward, are you sure about this?" Alice asked timidly, again. I nodded, my face cold and my lips in a thin line. I knew this was going to be terrible, but I still needed to see it. Call me masochistic, but I deserved to go through the pain and fury of seeing that true monster nearly kill my Bella. It was, after all, my fault that James ever saw Bella.
Even if she wasn't hurt by my own hand, it was my fault she was hurt.
"Fine," Alice gave up on reasoning with me, seeing that she wouldn't move me on this "lets just get this over with."
Alice was here to see what Bella was talking about. She proposed on fast forwarding the footage to where James supposedly speaks of Alice, but I shot down that idea. I needed to see the whole tape. I guess this was my form of punishment from myself for letting this happen to my angel. God knows that Bella wouldn't blame me for anything. Alice had agreed and said to watch the whole thing with me "for support", but I knew from her thoughts that she was truly here to keep me from destroying Bella's hospital room. According to Alice's visions it would've happened.
I braced myself for what I was soon to see. After hooking up the haunting camcorder to the television I turned back to look at Bella.
Bella was very deeply asleep from the medications. She would be sleeping for awhile, maybe for a few days, according to Carlisle. She was sleeping peacefully, mumbling my name which tugged blissfully at my dead heart. Even with her… injuries, she still took my breath away with her beauty. I loved her so much that the word 'love' wasn't nearly enough to cover my unbreakable connection to her.
I turned hesitantly away from my reckless angel to Alice. She gave me a glance of pity for the pain this video was sure to inflict. I closed my eyes and remind myself of why I was about to do this.
I slowly opened my eyes, reached for the camcorder and pushed 'play'.
