Chapter 2

Bella stared in disbelief at the clothes Alice had gotten for her. They looked like something from the Victorian era, clothes she would never buy for herself, let alone wear. There were long dresses in black and grey and one that looked like a pink bubblegum dress for "fancy wear". The dresses had no details on them, they were all high collared, with weird-looking shoes and then there were long skirts and grandma shirts all in dull colours. There weren't any jeans, shirts or converse shoes..

"What is this, Alice?" She asked picking up a frumpy looking black dress.

"It's a dress, silly." Alice told her and then Edward spoke, his voice condescending way not even listening to her opinion..

"Now love, you'll be beautiful in all of those dresses and skirts, not like Rosalie who looks like a harlot every time she leaves the house." Edward said smiling at Bella like she was a young uneducated child.

Bella wanted to scream at them both.

'This isn't who I am.' She thought outraged. She had enough, she wasn't going to stand for Edward and Alice treating her like this..

"Edward, I can't wear these clothes, they're too old-fashioned and they're not me." Bella tried to be calm as she looked at Alice, imploring her to back her up.

Edward glared at her before snarling, "YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE BITCH!"

Bella swallowed nervously. She knew immediately that she had pushed things too far, but she at least had to try and stand up for herself.

"I am not being ungrateful Edward, these clothes just aren't me." She tried to make him understand before going into the bathroom to change.

She took off the long black skirt before pulling on her black skinny jeans and then her boots before going back into the bedroom when she saw Edward glaring at her. Alice was suspiciously no where in sight and that made Bella realize that she couldn't count on her supposed best friend to help her out of this situation.

"What the hell are you wearing, Isabella!?" Edward snarled at her dangerously, Bella noticed his eyes had turned black.

"My clothes Edward, the skirt was uncomfortable." Bella said trying not to show how afraid she was of Edward.

Edward snarled, anger clear on his handsome face and Bella swallowed fearfully. She didn't understand why Edward has changed so much. in her opinion she didn't do anything to warrant his possessive, controlling behaviour. He was the one who left. He was the one that exposed her to the Volturi by going to them on a suicide mission which she saved him from.

"THOSE ARE NOT CLOTHES, BELLA; YOU LOOK LIKE A WHORE ABOUT TO SELL HERSELF!" He roared at her, venom lacing his voice.

"Well I'm not wearing those clothes, they're too frumpy for me." Bella said trying not to show how much he frightened her. Grabbed her bag she started to hurry down the stairs, she could hear and feel Edward stalking after her and she tried to walk faster without tripping.

"YOU ARE MY MATE, BELLA! COME BACK HERE NOW!" Edward yelled, rage colouring his voice and transforming his face into that of a monster.

"I'll come back when you've calmed down, Edward. We seriously need to talk. I will not stand for being treated this way, especially not from someone who calls themselves my mate and is supposed to love and cherish me," Bella told him trying to keep her face calm despite how frightened she was of Edward and how different he was.

Edward didn't say anything as Bella continued to walk down the hallway and out of the front door. Just as she was going down the steps Edward ran at her with vampire speed and pushed her, making her stumble and fall, tumbling down the few steps. Bella screamed in shock as she fell and brought her hands up to try and catch herself but she heard a sickening crack as her left wrist hit the bottom stair and pain shot through her arm making her cry out in pain.

Before Bella could recover Edward was on top of her, beating her more violently than before. He punched her in the stomach and kicked her several times and she knew he must've cracked if not broken a few ribs. She tried to move away, but he grabbed her by the hair pulling her neck back and slapping her in the face.

"HOW DARE YOU DISOBEY ME ISABELLA, AFTER EVERYTHING I'VE GIVEN YOU?!" He screamed at her, venom flying out of his mouth and hitting her in the face.

Tears were streaming down Bella's face because of her pain, but also the anger she felt towards Edward for the way he has been treating her lately. Edward scoffed at her tear streaked face in disgust before he dropped her on the floor dispassionately.

"Get in the car, I'll take you to the hospital to be treated and don't worry Carlisle is hunting with Emmett, Rosalie and Jasper and Esme's in Denali, visiting the Denali coven." He told her coldly.

Bella nodded mutely, she was in so much pain and she could hardly move, but she didn't want to anger him any further and she managed to pull herself up before she stumbled to the car. What had happened to her Edward? He had changed and for the worst.

She wiped her eyes with her right hand while she cradled her left hand as Edward got in the car and they drove to the Fork's General Hospital. When they got there he helped her out of the car and into the hospital in a loving manner, all of a sudden being like the Edward she remembered before her birthday and that confused her even more. They were quickly shown into a room while Dr. Gerandy was called and within minutes he arrived in the room and quickly had a nurse help Bella to put on a hospital gown.

Dr. Gerandy took stock of her injuries and he knew the signs of abuse when he saw them, but he had to get an honest answer from Bella before he could help her. Keeping his face calm and his voice steady as to not make Edward suspicious he asked Bella, "How did this happen, Bella?" He got the cast ready for her wrist, watching Edward from the corner off his eye.

"She tripped while going down the stairs and tumbled down them." Edward lied smoothly, but Dr Gerandy looked alarmed.

"Well, aside from two broken ribs and your broken left wrist, you are covered in bruises which are going to cause you quite a bit of pain and discomfort. I'm going to write you a note for school for the rest of the week and I want to see you next week to check on your ribs and these bruises" Dr. Gerandy told Bella kindly.

"Thank you, Dr Gerandy." Bella said quietly.

"Give your father my regards and yours too, Edward." He told them as he gave Bella a prescription for pain killers.

"I will thank you." Edward said charmingly.

Dr Gerandy nodded and watched them leave in silence before walking into the doctor's lounge deep in thought.

"You won't tell Charlie about what happened, will you love?" Edward asked in that fake soothing voice.

Bella knew she couldn't tell Charlie, Edward would slaughter him if she did. "I won't, Edward, you have my word." She said quietly causing Edward to smirk at her.

"Good girl, soon you'll be my obedient wife." He said as she got out with the medication and he drove off as she watched on.

Bella numbly went inside, tears falling down her face. She saw that Charlie had left her a note, explaining that he was at Billy's and would be spending the night there. At least Charlie was safe. She went upstairs into her room to get a pair of clean pyjamas only to find all of her clothes had been replaced by the things Alice bought her and the only pyjamas available was old-fashioned nightgowns that looked like they had come from Downtown Abbey.

Sighing, she took one of the cotton nightgowns and went into the bathroom to shower. Bella then saw a razor. She shaved herself and silently sobbed, curling into a tight ball as she cried, wishing she could talk to someone but knowing she couldn't. She washed her hair and then combed it before rinsing it and turned off the shower as she wrapped a fluffy towel around herself. Bella placed the towel in the dirty laundry as she pulled on the nightgown and got under the covers before looking at her window. She could lock him out, but then he'd be even more pissed off. She sighed and cried herself to sleep.

Rosalie sat in her bedroom to think. Edward and Alice were acting suspiciously as of late and Bella rarely visited when they were around, which was strange. Bella used to come over all the time as she loved spending time with everyone in the family.

She frowned as she smelt blood with a freesia fragrance. Had Bella been here while they were out and injured herself? She followed the scent down to Edward's bedroom, but she kept her mind blank and when she noticed the door was open slightly she peeked through the slit. She was shocked at what she saw.

Edward….was drinking blood... Human blood… And it smelled suspiciously just like Bella. Was she imagining things or as that truly Bella's blood he was drinking from a glass vial? She felt disgusted.

Ever since Edward had come back from Italy, Rosalie had sensed a dark change in Edward, although she hadn't been Bella's biggest fan in the beginning, she cared about her like a sister. She worried about her, worried about what the changes in Edward and his and Alice's suspicious behaviour could mean for her little sister. She needed to find a way to find out what was going on without attracting attention and she knew she needed to do it soon...

A/n: So what do you think of Alice and Edward? Do you think Dr Gerandy should do anything? What about Rose? Should Bella stand up for herself or should she just accept things as they are for now?
