CHAPTER FOUR: Surprises

APOV

The guy sat there with his head in his hands, when the knock came at the door, the terror in his eyes made me feel scared to.

'She...has come for me' he whispered.

His voice was trembling. He began to shake; I've never seen a Vampire shake...

The vision came sharply, rich in colour and detail. I saw her come through the door.

It can't be...

It was silent; the man looked up, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

BANG.

The door was off its hinges and silhouetted against the moonlight she stood there.

She walked over the threshold.

'B...Bella?' Edward whispered.

Shit....

'Cullen's, Denali's.' Bella nodded to us in turn. 'I have come for him' she raised a finger to our guest.

'Why?' Carlisle said loudly.

'Murder.' Bella said simply, he voice was smooth and authoritative.

'How is this possible?' Edward whispered. We were all shocked, not just why she was here...but her appearance.

EPOV

Bella was stood in front of me. How is this possible...?

She was utterly gorgeous. Her body was long and streamlined, skin pale like ours. Behind her, sitting neatly and impressively on her back was a pair of giant wings. They were feathered; the plumage was that of a desert eagle, a range of blacks and dark reds; they curved like a graceful arc above her head. Her hair fell to her waist, in beautiful brown locks and her eyes were the colour of the ocean set alight by the sun. She was wearing long fitted trousers over her thighs and a belt with a long sword hanging from the side. She wore what looked like chainmail over her torso, with a tank top beneath it.

'Bella...please how is this real?' my voice came like a whimper, only Bella could make me beg...

She folded her wings so she could step through the door. The man began to scream and shriek. Why is he so afraid?

'GET AWAY! PLEASE!'

'Antoine, you are charged with the Murder of Sam Uley, and betrayal of our clan'

Sam? This man killed Sam? Carlisle thought.

'Your punishment is penance.' Bella's voice was cold, she exuberated authority. The man began to shriek uncontrollably.

'PLEASE NO...NO...'

Bella leant down towards him as he shrank away from her on the sofa. She took his head in her hands and her eyes flashed and changed, from emerald to amethyst. Something was obviously happening, because the man was writhing and screaming in agony, and eventually went limp.

Bella stood, she eyed him with disgust.

'Is he dead?' Emmett whispered.

'No. He has felt the pain of the people he has hurt. He will probably kill himself.' Bella showed no remorse for this.

'There has been justice, I have elsewhere to be.' She said quietly. She spoke differently, as if it wasn't really Bella anymore.

'Bella please, we need answers!' Carlisle said to her back.

'Bella? Didn't you miss us?' Alice whispered.

The glorious creature turned around to stare at all of us.

'How long has it been Cullen's? You want me to explain 100 years to you.' She sighed. I could smell that delicate aroma from her.

'I shall, but I have a duty elsewhere. I shall call on you tomorrow afternoon if I may? I will answer your questions.' She said candidly.

'That would be useful...' Carlisle said weakly, obviously Bella's reappearance had put all of us in shock.

She nodded.

'Till tomorrow Doctor.' She nodded to all of us and stepped out into the night. We all watched as she swept her wings to the floor and propelled herself into the air, it was a graceful and fluid motion, I watched as she flew away in the moonlight wanting nothing more than to be flying next to her.

We all turned to look at each other.

'What...the...fuck?' Emmett said.

'This is your Bella?' Irina asked looking at me.

'Yes...but 100 years has changed her obviously.'

I felt so small. What else have we missed?

The man stayed unconscious for the remainder of the night. At about 3'oclock in the morning, Carlisle suggested we go hunting. Jasper decided to stay with our guest, as his power would be more useful.

'Should we even try to help him? He killed Sam.' Alice said reprovingly.

'We can't let him run off knowing he's going to kill himself!' Carlisle said.

'I can't believe Sam's dead...' I said.

We all fell silent.

'Comon lets hunt before daylight.' Emmett said.

We all sprinted off into a chilly morning, even though the temperature doesn't bother us.

Once most of us were satisfied on bears and elk, we made our way back. There were a few stars still hanging in the sky.

My Bella is alive...but how did get wings? And her eyes...they aren't the same as ours...why?

My thoughts were interrupted as we ran up to the house; there was a large column of purple smoke emitting from the front garden.

'Shit!' Emmett shouted as he was the first to reach.

No not Jasper...Please not my brother. I put on more speed to reach the column of smoke, dread filling my stomach and my chest.

Jasper stood looking dejected.

'I turn my back for a second and he had made a fire and threw himself in...'

'But...you have to be ripped to pieces?' Carlisle said slowly.

'He told me what he did. Then he told me he had no reason to live... He wanted to die Carlisle. I just helped.'

Jasper looked grim.

'What had he done?'

'Apparently he was high up in Bella's Clan or something...and was feeding information to a rival clan...I think. Sam found out, gave him a chance to bring himself forward and he killed him.'

Jasper was staring at the fire now.

'Bastard...' Emmett said.

'Bella will be here soon; perhaps we should put this behind us.' Carlisle said gently.

'Did he have a mate?' Rosalie said, with a voice that sounded unlike her own.

We all fell silent again.

The anticipation for Bella's arrival grew like a bubble in my stomach; I will never get enough of seeing her.

Will she ever forgive me?
