Bringing back a stranger isn't as easy as it looks like.
"This is Camilla. Camilla this is my wife Bella and my brothers and sisters. Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie. My parents Carslie and Esme." He hand gestured us towards Camilla who eyes were big and bright with excitement. Edward's family didn't look comfortable. They were as still as stone with rigid movements. Emmett was the first to break the silence.
"This is wrong Edward. Why did you bring this human-girl back? She's not one of us." He exclaimed in a low tone that only non-humans can her. His voice sounded so furious it sounded like almost a growl. Camilla's heat beat quickened in speed. My throat burned achingly for blood, but I knew I could hang on. I have control of myself.
Camilla's head tilted to one side with a frown on her face.
"I'm human?" She asked Emmett. Emmett stepped forward and grabbed her by her neck to pull her up against the wall. But nothing happened. Camilla didn't even move one inch or her body. Emmett tried again, this time with a grunt, again nothing happened.
"What are you?" He finally gave up.
"Nice to meet you again Emmett." She simply replied and stepped forward to shake his hand.
"I know you?" He didn't take her hand or even look at it. His voice was shaky now. This is very unusual for Emmett. He is suppose to be a protector.
"Remember the Singing Bird Emmett? You loved to catch those birds with a net- but with a girl." He gasped and took my side and whispered, "Run now with Renesmee, she is dangerous." I glared at him, confused. How can a human-girl be dangerous?
"Edward?" I spoke softly. I wanted to ask him what Camilla was thinking. Edward simply put up his hand to stop me from continuing.
"Do you want to tell my family what you are?" He asked Camilla. She nodded.
"I am the Singing Bird." Her voice sounded more exhausted.
************************************************
"What's wrong Bella?" Edward asked the hundredth time.
"Nothing. Nothing's wrong with me." I said crossly. I was so frustrated. Camilla is living with us, riding Edwards's car to school with us and sitting with us at school.
"If there's anything honey tell me." Edward spoke in a soft delicate voice humming over the sound of the wind. I nodded back. When is Camilla leaving? Is Camilla actually going to go home or what? I lay on our brand new black leather couch. It wasn't comfortable. I purposely made a loud sigh. Maybe this could catch someone's attention.
"Are you alright?" I turned around. I caught Camilla's attention. How unlucky.
"Yes I'm not alright with you being there." I said sharply.
"There's no need to be like that Bella." Edwards voice came as he went to drag Camilla into our room. "She's part of the family now. Make her feel welcome." Edward sat besides me stroking my hair. "Do you want to go and hunt?" He asked. I jumped out of the couch and glared at Camilla. Her eyes are sapphire blue, her skin…so pale and white. What would it taste like if I had my mouth over it? Ah! She's not human remember? Keep that in thought.
"Honey Bella? Are you going or what?"
"Sorry!" I lunged towards Edwards's direction going too fast consequently pushing him up into the wall.
"Ugh. Thank you Camilla." Camilla was already standing next to Edward helping him up, her slim arm touching his. I couldn't tolerate it anymore.
"Camilla! Get your filthy hands off my husband!" I yelled making the house move. Camilla's hand jerked away from Edwards.
"Sorry." She said in a soft velvet voice making me feel depressed from shouting at her.
Camilla stepped aside next to the glass door to the balcony. " I think I need to go to have a drink." Drink? I made a face at Edward.
" She's a singing bird- they need to eat and drink just like a human honey," he said softly in my ear. I purposely sighed loudly to make Edward feel that Camilla is in the way.
He closed our door and shut the blinds. "It's nearly night," he stated in his flat voice. I think I need to have a look at what Emmett's doing…
