When Bella finally came to somewhat of a conscious state she couldn't open her eyes. Not that the bright light she saw shinning through her eyelids would encourage her to open them anyway.
Her senses came to her slowly. Beneath her she felt a very firm sort of narrow mattress pad, sheeted with the same material that was currently covering her nude body. She could smell that she was no longer in her room but that blood still permeated the air around her. She attempted to lick her dry lips but found that she didn't have the energy to and so contented herself to continue lying where she was.
Sound came next, starting very dully and working its way up to a deep muffle in her ears. She distinguished them as male voices and came to the conclusion that the two who were speaking were very angry.
She wondered why.
Her legs were somewhat separated, open and vulnerable, bothering Bella to the point that in her deluded state that she should try and bring them together.
Bad idea.
Pain. Bella was shocked by how much there was. Surprising herself she didn't thrash about or try and subside it, she just let it take her. She racked her memory to why she would be feeling the sharp ache between her thighs and the dull throbbing encompassing her legs. Perhaps she would remember later.
The voices were clearer now, shocking Bella to realize that they were not two feet from where she was lying down. Leaving her little choice she simply decided to listen.
"…destructive and now Emmett has clean up after what you did!"
"Is he there now?"
"Yes. Appalled by the amount of blood you left behind. She could have died Edward!"
Edward…
"Then where is Alice?"
A new voice cut in, softer than the others and directly about her head, they rested both hands on her temples. Calmness overcame her. Jasper.
"Upstairs. She will only speak to Carlisle."
The whole family was there Bella thought. Edward must've done something bad for all the anger directed towards him.
"I'll talk to her. She'll see-"
"See what? She already had seen everything! You lost control Edward and-"
"I didn't loose control!" The voice was louder now but more aggressive.
Bella suddenly felt the protective sheet covering her nudity rip away. She numbly realized that she was bare before the entire Cullen family but couldn't bring herself to show any modesty. She simply had to stay.
Silence greeted the room.
It was so quiet that Bella thought she had passed out again. She heard some intakes of breath and listened as a dry heave escaped a feminine mouth. What were they looking at?
Edward looked down at the immobile Bella with wide red eyes. The sight of her bruised, bleeding and mangled body rendered him speechless again that day. Her thighs were completely welted and blood had, once again, caked her body. It was a gruesome sight to behold. Averting his gaze from her body he gaped into the eyes of a supremely angry looking Carlisle. In his eyes he saw what he never expected to reflect from his own father figure.
Monster.
Carlisle stood, holding the sheet in his clenched fists, looking out of place with an ugly expression on such a beautiful face. His voice was quieter, more stern and speaking to Edward as if he were a stranger and not a son.
"Edward. Judging by what Alice saw, this was nothing short of-"
Edward read the last word in his mind before he could even finish the sentence.
"She consented!"
He spat out the words, fuming with undeniable rage. How dare he accuse him of-
Rape.
Such an ugly word.
Such an ugly word for an ugly act.
Edward looked around the room. Shocked faces greeted him. Apparently Carlisle had not told them what had happened before they called the meeting.
Bella's blood was starting to waft in the air of the room and Edward took keen notice of it. He noted that everyone was backing away slightly, trying to get away from the smell of her cycle. Jasper stood unmoved however. Edward followed his eyes to the blood and the gore of her thighs. Edward briefly wondered if he was altogether with himself from Bella's incident at the party.
"Jasper." Carlisle cut in.
Jasper's head turned but his eyes remained fixed.
"Jasper."
He looked up this time, his eyes fading to black.
"I-I'll stand outside." Looking to Carlisle for his apology, he fled the room.
Edward noticed that without the calming presence of Jasper, Bella was starting to grow restless, squirming with noticeable pain. He stepped closer to her body and stopped, unwilling to be taken under by the blood in front of his family.
"S-she consented…"
Did she?
A voice nagged him in the back of his mind that she had not fully agreed to giving herself to him, that she had protested numerous times but he never had heard her actually say 'yes'.
Yes.
Edward staggered.
It wasn't …rape. She moved with him and encouraged him, told him that she loved him, kissed him and wanted him. She wanted it. He knew she did.
No, she didn't ever vocalize that she did but…
Alice. With a new wave of horror Edward realized that to anyone watching them would have come to the conclusion that he had taken her by force. Would Alice believe him that Bella had wanted him and moved with him? Could Alice believe him?
Edward turned to himself…
Could he believe that it wasn't?
'Stop Edward!'
'I-It hurts…'
'Let go! Please Edward!'
'I-I'm not ready.'
'E-Edward? Your eyes…'
Edward brought both hands up to his face. His legs felt very weak and his head, dizzy. Edward suddenly wished he had the power of sleep so he could escape his family's thoughts and the accusations against him.
"She has suffered quite a lot of blood loss and sustained minor scratch and bruise injuries to her thighs and stomach. Her hymen was torn and has suffered internal tearing along with the bite on her… inner thigh." Carlisle diagnosed in a professional manner.
Edward's head shot up. Bite?
Others in the room seemed to have the same reaction but Carlisle continued,
"The venom didn't infect her before-" he paused, unsure how to continue, "Edward got it out of her system."
Edward's head was reeling when he ran to the nude Bella, spreading her legs apart and looking for the silver mark. Bella groaned but Edward couldn't hear her. The bite itself wasn't exactly on her thigh, but more, her.
Noticing a few marks on her labia, Edward thought that when he was drinking her blood he must've bit her but sucked the venom out as well.
Everyone else in the room couldn't understand how the person who induced the bite would suck the venom out but the Cullen family remained silent.
Until Emmett came through the door.
With thundering steps towards the man above Bella, Emmett grabbed Edward and pushed him to the nearest wall, anger blinding him.
"How could you?!"
"Emmett!" Carlisle shouted.
Edward's red eyes starring back at him only heightened his anger. Emmett chanced a glance at Bella's gaunt body and hurled Edward to the floor before climbing on top of him and grabbing his windpipe to relieve his anger, not that he could possibly do anything to the immortal.
"Emmett!"
He had hurt Bella.
He had hurt family.
No one in the room dared move near the two vampires. Edward for his part was taking the physical punishment. He knew he deserved it.
"You drank her blood?!"
"Emmett! Stop this now!"
Edward was reading his thoughts; blazing in anger he blamed him for everything, everything done to Bella. Although Emmett wouldn't say it out loud in front of the family, in his mind he screamed 'rapist'.
Emmett leaned in close to Edward, whispering to him so that no one else in their frenzy could hear.
"You know Edward, cleaning up after you and knowing what you did," his voice became deeper with anger-
"You are not so unlike them."
