Edward stared at her panting, "Bella go home."
"But..."
"NOW!" Edward yelled
Bella ran inside to grab her bag then drove home in a panic. Should she tell Charlie? No it was ridiculous he would never believe that Edward had ripped a mans arms off. As she ran into the house Charlie said something to her but she ignored him and cuddled onto her bed with her knees to her chin. Another sleepless night passed For Bella Swan.
Two Weeks passed since Bella last saw Edward. Everyone at school said that it was normal for Edward to just been gone, that he suffered from server migraines. His brothers and sisters were still there though and they had taken up Edwards job of staring at Bella during lunch. Except where Edwards gaze was of curiousity and tenderness there's seemed terrifying and furious.
Then one day During self defense one of his brothers came up to her. He must have been around six feet tall as he towered over her. Swallowing her fear Bella spoke to the giant, "What do you want?"
The Giant growled but kept his stance while one of Edwards sisters appeared from behind him. Her hair was short and wild and her her frame was considerably smaller then the giant. With her golden eyes the girl stared at Bella with a slight smile, just like Edward did. "My name is Alice, I am one of Edwards sisters. Above me is Emmet. We need you to come to our house after school. We'll drive you"
When Bella tried to refuse their request but Emmet's stare made it impossible, "Ok, then let me get changed."
Emmets demeanour changed and a smile curved across his face, "Good, Were making dinner for you"
Bella changed clothes and walked to her car. Alice was waiting with her car, a slick silver convertable buick. The drive to the Cullens house was long. Along the way Bella and Alice talked.
"So are you.."
"A vampire like Edward? Yep! all of us are."
"You all seem pretty open about it, I mean arent vampires supposed to be mysterious."
"Oh, yes. Infact we are all furious that Edward revealed it to you. Rosealle and Esme are ready to kill both of you and Jasper is just terrified to be around you, Emmet is worried that you'll expose us all."
"And what about you" Bella questioned.
"Well i already know that you wont tell and if Edward just openly exposed himself to you then he must see something special in you."
Bella had not thought about it like that, "So why did you need me to go to your house?"
"While Edward did save you from that guy the other day, he did kill a man which is something we dont do. So we had to punish him which wouldnt be a problem but he is refusing to feed on his thralls. Says its something that you said" Alice spoke as they pulled up to the Cullens house, which seemed more like a millionaires mansion. The design was slick and retro. The interior was just as impressive with high ceilings and arching doorways. Upstairs in the kitchen Emmet and the other Cullens were preparing some cheesy enchiladas for her.
The jesture was pleaseant considering there normal appetite, "Thank you but I am not really that hungry."
"Its fine Bella we need you to talk to Edward anyway." Said one she had never seen before. He must have been their father from his apparent age. His blond straight hair was slicked back behind his ears that complimented his silver eyes. With a smile he lead Bella to Edwards room.
When she walked in she was suprised by the decor. Posters of anime characters streamed the walls and various longswords from different eras and locations.
Edward stood on the balcony, his back to Bella. As she took a step forward the floor creaked underneath her feet, causeing Edward to turn his attention to her with a smile. The red of his eyes and completely taken over by his red coloring, while his teeth were pointed to that of a shark-like grin. But what was the most noticeable was his arms. or lack there of.
His arms laid on the bed twitching occasionally. When he noticed her shock he lost his smile and sat in a nearby chair, "Sorry about those. Without blood i cant regenerate."
"Then why don't you get one of your thralls to give you some." Bella said, still aggrevated at him yet somehow feeled sorry for him.
Turning from her Edward replied, "You said didnt like that i used them so i gave them up." His face cringed as he let out an painfull cry.
"Are you ok?" Bella said in a forced angry voice, hiding the real concern she had.
"in your terms, im just having addiction pains. Ill be fine i promise."
Bella frowned. He was slimy, stupid, manipulative, and dirty, but he had saved her, and it was her fault that he wasnt feeding anymore. With a shaky breath Bella asked the question she never thought she'd ask, "Does...Does it hurt...when you feed on people?"
Edward paused for a moment before answering, "No, its like getting a shot at the doctor. Why?"
Bella played with her toes to the floor, "Well...Since it is my fault and all that you are like this...so...just this once you can..feed..on me"
Edwards eyes perked to a curious smile, "Are you sure?" With a reassuring nodd from Bella he rose to his feet. He breathed on her neck causing a ripple of bumps to to raise down her back. After a gentle kiss to her tender neck Edward plunged his fangs into her flesh.
Bella's eyes flashed open as she let out a silent moan. It felt good, amazing even. She saw several strange black tendrils burst from his torso grab the missing arms and pulled them back to his body. Once they connected he wrapped his arms around her and firmly squeezed her butt which earned him a forcefull back hand as she pulled away.
Dripping her blood from his lips Edward panted loudly in ecstasy. He licked the remaining blood and bowed to her, "Thank you."
She turned and walked outside the door where the rest of the Cullen's were gathered around shocked and snickering faces. Bella blushed and pushed them aside to go outside when she realized that she had no way home. Edward jumped down from his balcony and smiled at her, "Need a ride?"
She scoffed and walked to his car. The ride to her car was quiet and faster then the ride to the Cullens house. Bella was still furious that he had touched her butt, however she still had to thank him for saving her, "Thank you...for the other day. If you hadn't have been there..."
"Dont worry about it. " He said flashing another smile to her as he pulled up next to her truck, "I mean I am your knight in shining armor."
