Evelina shuffled awkwardly under Bella watchful gaze. She knew coming back here would be a bad idea but she had no where else to go.
"What happened?" Bella demanded and she stormed over to Evelina and carefully gripped her chin, tilting her head from side to side, getting a closer look at the injured skin. Evelina pushed Bella away and took a few steps back.
"Nothing." Bella's eyes narrowed.
"Don't tell me that nothing happened, when it's obvious that something did."
Evelina shrugged. "It's fine."
Bella took another step forward towards her, eyes narrowing even more. "That's not what i asked."
Charlie walked over to the two girls and lightly gripped Bella's forearm tugging her to one side. Bella seemed hesitant to leave but Charlie insisted. Evelina stood there, fiddling with her gloves and lightly kicking a loose stone with her uninjured leg. Charlie and Bella hadn't moved that far away and Evelina could still hear them.
"What happened to her, dad?" Bella asked, here eyes constantly flickering back over to Evelina standing form.
"I don't know. She wouldn't tell me anything. She turned up at home yesterday covered in blood, looking like she was about to pass out. I didn't know what to do . I was going to phone the hospital but she said no, she refused to go. She doesn't talk to me like she does you. that's why i bought her here..To you."
Evelina inwardly scoffed, 'Bringing me to Bella was a waste of time.' She thought bitterly.
"Hi." a sweet voice said from in front of Evelina. She looked up from her hands and she noticed the little 6 year old standing in front of her. The brown haired child beamed up at Evelina and she couldn't help but smile slightly back. "Hey."
Evelina crouched down in front of the young girl so that she was a similar height. "I'm Renesmee, are you my auntie Evie?"
Renesmee stared up at Evelina with happiness and curiosity in her big brown eyes. The same eyes Bella had. "Hi Renesmee, yeah i guess you could say i'm your auntie Evie. How did you know?" Evelina tilted her head to the side slightly as she analyzed the small girl smiling in front of her. Before Renesmee could answer a shadow fell over the two girls and they both looked up to see a handsome young man, with bronze hair smiling down on renesmee lovingly. Instantly Evelina recognized him at Edward, Bella's husband. Edward gently placed a hand on Renesmee's shoulder and she grinned up at him. "Come on Ness, i think its time to get you indoor with everyone else." Renesmee pouted slightly. "But i'm talking to auntie Evie." She turned her attention back to Evelina. "Mummy has picture of you in our house and she's always telling me stories about you as well. Every night before bed she tells me one."
Evelina smiled softly at Renesmees words and small tears start to fill her eyes. She'd missed Bella more than she'd realized, and she felt a sort of relief at having seen her again. "Don't cry." Renesmee said and she looked at her again and her smile broadened. Evelina instantly blinked back the tears that threatened to escape. "I'm fine." Renesmee didnt look convinced so Evelina plastered a fake smirk on her face. "Hopefully nothing bad was said about me in these stories."
Renesmee pursed her lips as she thought and she grinned. "Well..." She trailed off and she looked around avoiding eye contact with Evelina. Evelina gasped playfully and renesmee giggled. "Not really. Mummy never said anything bad, just that you're like uncle Emmett."
Evelina smiled at renesmee again. "Well, I'm not sure if that's's an insult or a compliment considering i don't really know the guy."
Renesmees eyes seemed to light up with an idea. "Why don't you come on in and meet everyone?"
Evelina frowned not really liking the idea of meeting people, more people she came into contact with the more danger there'd be. Evelina didn't get to reply before Edward spoke up. "That's not a good idea, Nessie." Evelina nodded in agreement.
"Sorry, but I'm going back with Charlie." Renesmee frowned.
"Actually...You're not." Charlies voice mumbled from behind her. Evelina stood and straightened up with out causing too much pain but couldn't help the quiet whimper she let out when she moved her waist. When the pain had passed she turned to faced Charlie and Bella with a raised Eyebrow. "What?" She asked.
"You're staying here with me." Bella stated stepping forward towards her.
