Brees POV
Within the next couple of months I just stuck to their regime. Hunting was difficult in the beginning, since my thirst was uncontrollable and pulling me towards human blood. But after awhile it settled down and my eyes started to turn amber, but by now they were a gorgeous golden brown. They haven't trusted me to be around a human yet, but I'm pretty sure I can control myself. When Emmett, Edward, Jasper, Rosalie and Alice went to school, I stayed home with Esme, since Carlisle had to go to work. I hardly ever saw Edward, because he was always with the human, at her house. Obviously she couldn't come over here, or I'd lose control and attack her – well, that's what they thought. Snapping back into the present, I heard the sound of Emmett's jeep approach the driveway. A couple of seconds after that she heard a low murmur of a conversation at the bottom of the stairs.
"I really don't think this is a good idea, Carlisle." It was Edward, softly arguing with Carlisle, obviously not wanting somebody to hear the conversation.
"Edward, you know this is important," argued Carlisle, "They have to meet sooner or later, even -"
"Well I'm quite certain later is better than sooner in this situation." Edward was still arguing with Carlisle. I had a bad feeling that this had something to do with me.
"Edward, it's time." Whatever Carlisle was trying to convince Edward, it seemed pretty important. My curiosity got the better of me and I found myself walking through the bedroom door and creeping towards the top of the stairs.
"Why do we have to do this?" asked Edward, "We don't have to tell Bree, she doesn't know we were planning this – we could all turn around and forget we ever had this idea." To my disappointment, my luck had run out, and the floorboards beneath my feet creaked as I shifted my weight so they wouldn't be able to see me. There heads whipped round to the spot where I was hiding, and I knew there was no way for me to get out of eavesdropping on them. So I came out of my hiding place, behind the wall, and faced them. I saw guilt in Edwards' eyes, probably because he didn't think anybody had heard his idea. The door swung open and Emmett stepped through.
"Come on guys!" He boomed, "Bella's, like, hyperventilating! If they don't meet now, she'll pass out from stress!" As I knew Emmett, hyperventilating was a pretty big word for him. But I concentrated on the issue at hand….which was what? Were they saying I was going to meet the human? Not that I wasn't able to but….
"Don't joke around, Emmett," Edward growled at his brother, "Or I'll rip you to shreds." Now that was scary, especially coming from Edward. But Emmett just waved it off and laughed hysterically.
"Ha! Of course you will bro, course you will!" replied Emmett, still chortling from Edwards' comment, "That's a good one." Then his face went straight and serious. "No, really, can Bella come in now? She really is hyperventilating, and the cars' starting to smell." He broke into a grin.
"Wait," I said, "I'm meeting Bella? The human?" I was surprised it was so soon, I would have thought they would have at least given me a few days' notice.
"Yeah, why not?" replied Emmett, "Didn't you know?....Oh." He met Edward's deathly gaze and understood, finally.
"You didn't tell her yet…..WELL. No matter, I'm bringing her in – My car wasn't cheap, you know." He ran outside, and I heard him open the door to his jeep.
"You better behave yourself," threatened Edward, staring at me, "Or we'll be onto you fast…Then send you to the Volturi." He smiled, flashing his devilish teeth.
"Enough." Carlisle said firmly. "Rosalie, Jasper and Alice are bringing Bella in now." Jasper and Rosalie came in, Jasper standing behind me, probably in case I lose control, and Rosalie stood near to the door, giving me evils the whole time. Our friendship hadn't grown since the first time I came, but then again, I didn't think she got along well with anyone – apart from Emmett. Edward then went towards the door, guiding a very fragile, delicious looking human. In response to my thoughts, he snapped his head up and hissed furiously at me. Edward brought Bella in front of me, but several meters away, with his hand around her waist as a precaution – or lovingly, or maybe even both – I couldn't tell.
"Hey, I'm Bella," She started, "But you probably already know that." She looked nervous, but also expecting an answer. I stopped breathing as soon as she walked through the door, but since I had to speak to her, I closed my eyes, concentrated hard, and took a deep breath. Too bad I didn't concentrate enough. The thirst at the back of my throat flared up as I snapped my eyes open in anguish. Venom filled my mouth, and determined to cool the searing hot flames in my throat, I lunged, head first, teeth bared straight at her throat. Then something pulled me hard by my ankles in mid air, and, desperate to get my kill, I hopelessly threw my hand out. To my luck, my nails connected with her soft skin, and I saw delicious, warm, crimson blood trickling vigorously down her thigh. That was all I was able to see. As Jasper pulled me back, he let go of my leg and I went flying through the air, and, after a moment, I collided with the wall. I growled viciously and jumped up to my feet. Furious with Jasper for taking away the crimson heaven, I dived at him, aiming for his forearm. But he was quick – he grabbed the collar of my shirt, and flung me into the lamp standing on the closest table. I skidded to a halt on the floor, covered in glass. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Alice take Bella outside.
NO! She smelt so delicious! I couldn't let her get away….
I rushed to my feet and ran after them, determined not to let them get away. But Edward was having none of that – he attacked me from the side, and pulled my hair. I screamed out in pain, and swung blindly at him, since the tears in my eyes was affecting my sight. He easily dodged and punched me in the gut, sending me to my knees. He grabbed my head and forced me to look at him, but my eyes kept on darting around the room – Bella wasn't there.
"Bree!" He shouted, "Look at me, for Gods' sake! RELAX! Don't make me hurt you more than I have already!" That snapped me back into my senses – Edward wouldn't hold back, especially if it was to protect his love. I only just understood what I had done – I gasped.
"I – I'm sorry!" I started, "Oh my gosh, I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to, I swear -"
"I don't care." Edward said. "I warned Carlisle that you weren't ready, but nobody believed me. You're lucky nobody got hurt." Carlisle stepped forward.
"I thought she was able to keep herself under control!" said Carlisle, "What happened Bree?! If you weren't ready, you should have told us!"
"Carlisle," said Alice, as she stepped through the door, "Bella's bleeding badly – you need to help, quick!" Carlisle went outside with Alice, and I could faintly smell the blood. I was horrified at myself for attacking her in that way, I couldn't believe I did it myself. Everybody was silent, so this was my time to try and apologise to Bella. Obviously they wouldn't let me say it to her in person, so I decided to shout – hopefully she'd hear me. I guessed she was a couple of meters in front of the house.
"I'M SO SORRY BELLA!" I screamed. Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper and Esme looked absolutely shocked. Some looked shaken.
"I REALLY WANT TO KNOW YOU!" I shouted again, "I DIDN'T WANT TO DO WHAT I DID – I SWEAR!" I was about to lose it – if I could cry, I would. I really thought Bella and I could be good friends, but I just guess it wasn't meant to be.
"Bree?" Alice came back into the room, her eyes set on me. "Um, well, first of all – We heard you, so don't worry. And Bella really liked your enthusiasm, so she wants to try and meet you again."
"Really?" I shrieked, I was so high – so excited, so happy she would give me another chance.
"Oh, Alice thank you! And thank Bella too, and -" Alice cut me off with a wave of her hand.
"Edward isn't happy with the idea at all. You have to speak with him." She looked at me straight in the eyes, to make sure I understood.
"But, he won't let me! He didn't trust me this time, let alone the next!"
I was close to breaking down again. I let my self get excited, just for it to end up in pain.
"Wait," said Emmett, speaking or the first time after the incident, "I think I have an idea."
