My Mate, My Bella
A tiny crimson drop of liquid hit the grey carpet floor. The two colors met violently, the red sinking into the shaggy fabric, but the smell penetrated the air.
"Ouch, paper cut" Bella murmured. I was lost, her blood sang to me, begging me to take her at that very moment. A growl sounded somewhere in the room. My instincts overpowered me, and in a second I sped from my place holding Esme's hand too crouched protectively in front of my Bella. An answering growl was sent from somewhere in the room, this one feral, animalistic, livid. Scarcely, I was able to identify the growl as my own. I was too far gone, the animalistic part of me, that I had tried so hard to bury, to destroy, was now in control, and it was telling me to protect my Bella, to cradle her safely in my arms, free from all harm.
The room was in chaos, Jasper was being restrained against the wall by Emmett. His snarls and hisses were just fueling on my feral side, causing me to pull Bella closer to me. I could feel her body pressed firmly to mine, and if felt right. It was like she was made specify for me, my missing puzzle piece. I was literary shaking with rage, the only thing keeping me from tearing Jasper apart, and setting fire to him, was the small warm hand resting on my back. In my inner rage I could hear Esme soft mutterings of "it's alright" and "Carlisle its ok", it did no good, she was not the voice I wanted to hear. She reached her arm out to calm me, it didn't work, Esme was now my target, and she was the threat to my Bella. All my attention was now focused on Esme, who was beginning to back away as I began to snarl at her, just as I was about to snap at Esme's hand a body ran into mine.
Jasper using his knowledge gained from his years spent fighting newborns had escaped Emmett's grasp, and was running towards Bella. The impact of Jasper's body crashing into mine sent me topping backwards causing a thunder like sound to ring throughout the room, but it sent Bella flying into the glass table at the end of the room. "It's alright Jasper, It's just a little, blood" Alice cut herself off as Bella's delectable scent spread around the room. Wave after wave of Bella's heavenly scent reach out to each and everyone the room. Sensing the rising danger to Bella, I straighten myself up using all my four hundred years worth of control to stop myself for claiming Bella as mine. "Emmett, Rosalie, and Esme get Jasper out of here, go hunting" I commanded before running to check on Bella. Glass was implanted into her right arm, it would need to be cleaned quickly, and thoroughly so as not to run the risk of inflections. She would differently need stitches.
The vampire inside of me raged that someone dared to hurt what was mine. "She is not yours" Edward spoke harshly, I heard Alice silently make her way out the house, Bella's blood becoming too much for her. "Who knows son" I looked him dead in the eye "but she's not yours". I broke our stare down to look over Bella one more time "unclaimed" I smiled softy at her, and the smile she gave me in return took my unneeded breath away. I could hear Edward's jaw clenching "Edward, you need to leave son, go check on everyone" I spoke distractedly still gazing at Bella. When it looked as if he wasn't going to listen I commanded softy, dangerously "go". The next sound I heard was the back door slamming closed. I was alone with Bella, my Bella.
