In Perfect Harmony Chapter 6

"Damn it!" I screamed throwing a pillow across the room and watching in satisfaction as it exploded against the wall. It had been five days, five days since I had seen her!
Resisting the urge to crush more of this apartment I walked over and sat down on the couch. I felt insane. I didn't know that being away from her like this could be so painful; it was even worse then when I left her because then I thought she was safe.
I stayed like that for a while, before I stood again and walked to the window. I could see the courtyard but it was slightly distorted from a shield over it. No doubt another vampire causing it. I stood there for hours until I saw something that made my dead heart leap.
Bella was walking into the courtyard with a small girl by her side. I knew that she wouldn't be able to get through the shield but I wanted so desperately to talk to her that I screamed for her. My heart fell with a sickening sense of disappointment when I realized that she couldn't hear me but it was soon gone when I realized that I could hear her. She walked over to a willow tree and was resting peacefully when I noticed some other vampires enter the clearing.
The small girl that had been with Bella was minding her own business playing with butterfly's when she accidentally backed into one of them. It was an innocent mistake but she was immediately reprimanded. My hands clenched into fists as the older vampires called her names and I gasped when I saw the leader raise her hand.
I was about to turn my head when I saw Bella, my Bella move across the courtyard with speed that even I couldn't manage, and she had the girl by the throat.
"Don't you ever dare to come near my child again! If you so much as look at her wrong again I will personally rip you limb from limb and separate the pieces!" I was shocked. Since when did Bella act like that? And "My child"?
"I'm sorry I'll leave her alone!" The other yelled. I saw Bella squeeze her throat again before returning to the child whom I learned was named Cassie. Bella called her my baby which had me confused again and then she led her over to her spot under the willow.
Cassie was crying, the other vampires calling her a brat seemed to have really affected her and what I heard next made me want to cry. Bella sang to her, it was the sweetest, purest, most beautiful lullaby I had ever heard.
As the song was finishing I noticed the child seemed to be sleeping, which was incredibly strange but I had my suspicions that Bella had something to do with it. All too soon she stood with Cassie still in her arms and walked back into the castle.
I stayed by the window for a while and I was glad I did because I noticed a figure standing in one of the windows in the tower. It was her.
"Bella!" I yelled. I saw a shocked expression and then her face searching the building for me so I leaned out the window and waved.
"Edward! Thank god you're alright! What are you doing here? Don't you realize how foolish that was?" I smiled. "Did you honestly expect me to just sit by while you're in danger?"
I could see her sigh. "I guess not, but Edward I have to get out of here! There's this girl here, her names Cassie and."
"I know." I said cutting her off. "I saw what happened in the court yard, I assume that you adopted her?"
"Yeah, she can't stay here Edward; this is no place for her!" I was about to reply when I saw something that made me scream. There was a figure standing behind her in the window and it reached out and pulled her back.
I was terrified; I had no idea what they were going to do to her. I stormed through the apartment and out the door. It was almost night time when I came to my senses again. I had been walking for hours, thinking, plotting…writing.
I continued to walk until morning, but this walking had purpose. I was looking for a radio station and I found one around noon.
"Welcome to IRS, How can I help you?" The receptionist said when I walked in. I smiled a bit at the name. Italian Radio Station but shortened to IRS.
"I need to get something on the radio, I can pay. Who do I need to talk to?" I asked. She looked shocked when I pulled a wad of money out of my wallet. "Um, third floor, room 317, you need to speak to Mr. Kyle." She replied and I nodded my head in thanks.
I easily navigated my way to the office and knocked. The door was soon opened by a tall blonde man.
"Yes?" He asked in a bored tone. "Mr. Kyle, My name is Edward Cullen and." I stopped when I saw his eyes. "THE Edward Cullen, as in the American star that wrote all those songs to that girl?" I smiled in spite of my bad mood and nodded.
"Yes, I actually have a problem. You see that girl is here in Italy and we can't get in contact with each other so I need to get a new song on the radio for her. Can you help me?"
The look on that mans face was priceless. "Follow me, I need to hear it first of course, but if it's good I'll put it on right away." I followed him down the hall until we reached a recording studio and he gestured for me to go in.
I sat down at the piano and stroked the keys absentmindedly for a minute before I started to play…
