Disclaimer- there is nooo way that this is mine, this ones on Stepenie Meyer, I've just filled in the blanks.
The room was rushing through with excitement, happiness, content, and tinted with apprehension from both Rosalie and Bella.
Bella I understood, she was clumsy in the extreme, and being watched wasn't something that she enjoyed too much.
Rosalie was a little more complicated, as I'd discovered over the years. She was a lot deeper than she appeared to be.
I tried to fill the room with a little serenity, there was a small amount of effect, nothing drastic.
I stayed distant, not for any objection to Bella, but for her safety, I wasn't as strong as the others. I hadn't been trying as long.
Bella began to open her gifts, she started with the one from Rosalie, Emmett, and I.
"Umm... Thanks." She said, upon opening the empty box. Rosalie actually felt a small amount of humor at this.
I decided that I could break into the group a little to explain, "It's a stereo for your truck. Emmett's intalling it right now so you can't return it."
She seemed amused, and grateful, as she thanked us.
When Edward's present was presented to her, the apprehension returned. Bella always seemed to worry about Edward spending money on her. This I really didn't understand. Money wasn't an issue in this family. Everyone knew that.
I felt that it was something else though, sometimes it was like Bella felt inatticute,like she didn't belong among us.
I have to admit, I wasn't exactly one of Edward's biggest supporters when he first decided to befriend Bella. But, she had a way of growing on you. I just wished that I had better control, so she wouldn't feel that I disliked her.
Alice handed her the gift from herself and Edward (AN- anyone ever wonder why the gift was from Alice too?). And I prepared myself for the flood of emotions that Bella would feel when she opened the CD of Edward's work.
Something else replaced that.
My eyes shot open at the smell of her blood, and I felt all reason, every strand of humanity in my body, fly out, being replaced by a blood lust that's pull was beyond control. I flew forward, there was only blood. There was no Bella. No friend. No sister. There was blood. Warm, fresh, human blood.
Before I could get to the blood, I felt stones wrap myself in around my wrists, behind my back. The blood was being protected, and obsticle. Not my brother. An obsticle. One that I would pass at all costs.
But, I wasa being pulled away from the Blood and the Obsicle. By someone who surpassed me in strength. Another obsticle was in front of me now. Not my sister. Not Rosalie. Another Obsticle.
I thrust my head out, trying to bit her in vain. But, she neatly dodged every attempt.
I was pulled down stairs and into the trees, still fighting again the stone grip that kept me from the blood.
That was when it started to clear.
Reason flooded back into me, humanity came with it. I clung to them, fighting to gain control.
And I did.
I collapsed onto a stone and put my head into my hands. There was silence, no one spoke. I felt the anger toward Edward coming from Rosalie. The saddness and disappointment from Emmett.
It was completely unbearable.
AN- thanks for reading. I've been thrilled that people have actually been reading my stories, and actually enjoying them. Especially because Ive only been posting fanfics for about a week. So, again, thank you. And, not to be pushy, but reviews are always welcome
