Chapter 7: The Illuminated Night

BPOV

Taking my hand, Edward threw me onto his back and ran down stairs to the living room where the family and Lucas stared at our happy faces. "Bella. What's going on?" Lucas asked. "Edward and I are back together. We worked things out." He just looked at me and walked over to me and Edward. "Are you sure Bella?" he asked. I nodded and smiled at him. He decided to turn to Edward now, "I can't forgive you for what you did to Bella. So if you hurt her again, I will make you pay," he threatened. I couldn't believe he just said that. I couldn't help myself and growled at him.

"Oh Bella. Look at your clothes. They are wrecked," Rosealie pointed out. I looked down. I had really only noticed that my tank top had a gaping hole where I was grabbed but now I saw my jeans where ripped. They were my favourite as well. "Come with me and I will find you something else to put on," she said and she walked over to us. I think my mouth had just fallen off. I couldn't believe it. Rosealie was being kind to me. I followed her to her room and she sat me down on the bed. It was quiet for a bit then she turned around to me whilst holding a red skirt in her hands. "Bella. I'm sorry," she said. I was confused, "What are you sorry for?" I asked. "I'm sorry for calling you a monster. I didn't listen to you. At first I envied you, that you had not changed and you got better. But when you risked your life to save Alice and us, it opened my eyes. You aren't a monster. You are a saviour." Her words cut so far into me that I got up off the chair and gave her a hug. She returned it and then looked at me. "It's okay Rose. I understand. It was also my fault. I wanted to keep myself hidden but when I saw that thing about to kill Alice, I knew that even if you called me a monster, you were partially right. I am because I wanted to make Edward jealous. I was hurt and when I saw you all there I took that chance to show you I was stronger now. Can you forgive me?" it took her a while to respond but she did with a smile and a nod.

"Here. I hope these will fit," and she passed me the red skirt and another black tank top. I quickly went into her bathroom and changed. The skirt was a lovely drop back one and the top went so well with it. I grabbed my old clothes and went out of the bathroom only to have my clothes grabbed by Alice and she ran off with them. "Hey Alice. What are you doing?" I shouted to her but too late. As I got into the living room again, Alice tossed my stuff into the fire place. "Sorry Bells. But there is no way I was going to allow you to keep those wrecked things. If you like, I will make it up to you with a shopping trip," and she tried batting her eyes but I just gave a straight answer, "Okay then. A shopping trip it is," and I think her eyes fell out of her head. She just stood there shocked. I giggled and walked back over to Edwards open arms. He held me close and I got an idea.

"Hey. How would you all feel about a little trip to see what I was doing earlier at the lake?" I asked. They all smiled and we made our way out the back door. Edward had my hand and I looked at Lucas. We both had the same idea. "Tell you what. How about if we all race there. Looser gets tossed into the water." It was perfect and I grinned a teasing smile. "Oh it's on Bella," Emmett said. We all lined up to make it fair and Lucas shouted "Go" and we ran for it. I guess they thought that we would be slower but they were so wrong. Both Lucas and I were in the lead. We decided to show off a bit, jumping on trees and doing twirling jumps. It wasn't long before we got to the lake. It was a bit dim but the moonlight was shining on it so we could just see. Edward appeared through the trees followed by Carlisle and Esme, Rose, Alice and Jasper. Emmett was last. I couldn't help but laugh. This was going to be fun." Sorry Emmett," I said as I kneeled onto the ground and commanded a tree to lift him with its roots and throw him into the water. He went in with a large splash and we were all on the ground laughing our heads off. When he got out I couldn't help but laugh louder.

It took some time for us all to calm down. Emmett had admitted he lost so now it was time for me to finish what I started. "You can be amazed at what this girl can do with nature," Lucas said, making me blush. "Thanks Lucas," I said before I walked up to the lakes edge. I could feel everyone's eyes on the back of my head as I placed my hand back into the water. I decided to create some more plants under the water which would reflect the moons light and illuminate the lake. It looked good but something was missing. Getting up off the ground I put my hand on a nearby tree and got some more light reflecting lights to grow all around us. Gasps emitted from behind me. "Bella. It is so beautiful," Esme said and Edward came up to me. "She is right but you are more beautiful," he whispered into my ear. I blushed yet again and captured his lips in mine.

"Okay. Since this lake looks appealing, I fancy going for a swim," Lucas butted in, interrupting Edward and I. Lucas looked at me with a look I had only seen once when he pushed me into the sea once. Knowing what he was about to do, I made a run for it but a little too late. He had grabbed me and tossed me over his shoulder, making his way to the lake. Then he jumped into the centre of it and I went under. "You moron," I shouted at him as I broke through the surface. "These are Rose's clothes and you just ruined them." I looked to the edge of the lake to see Edward getting in. he quickly swam over to me. "Don't worry love. She doesn't mind. Come on everyone, get in the water it's so warm," he said, turning back to the others. It didn't take long for the guys to pick up the girls and run into the lake with them. Alice and Rose just shrieked and Esme was just laughing with Carlisle.

"Do you want to see what I can do under water," I asked him and he nodded. "Okay, just don't worry about what you see," and we both submerged under the water. I closed my eyes and willed my body to be able to stat under water. Slowly a tail, like an orca's grew where my legs were and small slits formed in my neck allowing me to breath. I took Edwards hand and we swam under the water for ages. I never wanted this night to end. When we rose back up to the surface, everyone was having a good time. Lucas, Emmett and Jasper where having a hold your breath competition which was pointless since they could all breath under water. When they went down again, I decided to swim over to them and tackle Lucas as payback and with the power of my tail, I tossed him out of the water and he fell back in with a splash. We all had a really fun night, but I was getting tired so we decide to call it a night.

As Edward and I said goodnight, I loved the fact that we were back together after being apart for so long. Lucas and I ran back to the hotel and managed to get in okay. We were lucky that the run home had allowed us to dry off quickly. When we got to the room, the door was ajar. I slowly opened it up to find out room trashed. "What happened," I asked as Lucas went in to check out the place. All our clothes were thrown about the room and as I walked in I noticed the scent. T was one I would never forget. I ran over to my bag and pulled out my phone, calling Edward straight away. He answered on the second ring, "Missing me already love," he teased but this was no time for playing, "Edward, I need you to get over to the hotel we are staying at. Lucas and I just arrived home and out room has been trashed. I can smell Victoria all over the place," and then I heard him tell everyone else and he told me to hang on as they were all on their way over.

Just great. This day was going from good too bad to good and now back to bad. Everything was still in the room, but I think there was a shirt missing. I searched everywhere for it but it was nowhere. She had stolen it for a purpose, but I couldn't think of one. I just hope that whatever she was doing, that she would not hurt my family or friends. If she did then there would be hell to pay.
