5. The Cullen's Living Room...My Living Nightmare

-

Edward pulled me onto his back and we ran to the Cullen's. Even though he knew I could fly he still carried me? I was kind of surprised about that. Our silence scared me, it deadly, and pulling me into the darkness.

"Are you mad at me?" I whispered, trying to break from the dark of our silence.

Edward sighed. "No Bella, I'll never be mad at you." He told me. I let out a sigh of relief. I didn't know what I would do if he ever was angry at me.

"But I am frustrated with you." He said next.

I groaned. "You are mad at me!" I cried.

"No, I'm frustrated with you, that is something entirely different." He said calmly. I stayed quiet waiting for him to speak his voice like honey.

"Why?" I asked timdly as he put me down on the couch in the living room. Wow, we where already there? That was fast.

"I'm frustrated with you because you tried to fight. Bella, how could you do something so dangerous? You could have gotten yourself killed. I would do anything to keep you alive as long as I was in this world and if you died there...Bella, what where you thinking?" He said to me. I felt guilt wash over me. How could I have been so selfish?

"It was me coming to my senses. Edward, I didn't intend on dying because I knew I could kick his butt in two seconds. I'm not a the weak human you think I am, there's a heck of a lot more to me." I said.

He looked down at the floor and put his hands in his pockets. "You're the one he's searching for, aren't you?" He asked me.

I frowned at him. "Who?

"Fang."

Before I could answer Alice barged through the door. "I cannot believe you Bella! How could you put yourself in that kind of danger? Are you crazy?!" She scocled me.

"Alice calm down." Jasper said calmly, wrapping his arms around her waist. The room suddenly got a calming atmosphere.

Emmett walked in and grinned at me. "Had a little outbreak there, didn't you Bella?"

"Shut up." I murmured blushing. He laughed at me.

Carlise walked in and looked at me. "So you're Maximum Ride?" He asked me. I nodded.

He seemed bewildered. "Would you mind if I examined your wings? You don't have to of course." He said quickly.

I stood up and slipped off my sweatshirt. Emmett whistled and Edward smacked him as Rosalie glared at him. I slipped my wings through the slits in my undershirt and Esme gasped.

"Incredible." Carlise whispered and I almost didn't hear him."Do you have any bird-like abilities?" He asked me next.

I nodded. "I have a hawk's eye-sight, I have enhanced hearing, my heart-rate is faster then humans, and I have little air-sacks in my lungs." I reluctantly reveled.

I heard Emmett mutter, "Shit..."

"You're a mutant?" Rosalie asked me. I nodded even though I wanted to scream, 'No freaking duh! Did you not see the wings? Are you blind or something?'

"I take it Charlie doesn't know?" Esme asked me.

"He's clueless." I said. (I didn't mean that in an offensive way! I LOVE CHARLIE!! He's my favorite!!)

She nodded. "And your mother?"

"No."

"This means you're in more danger Bella." Carlise said.

"I've known that for quite some time." I said. Edward smiled.

Alice's face suddenly went blank and everyone went quiet. We sat in silence for a few minutes. It was pure agony. How did they go through this so often? It annoyed the crap out of me.

Edward wrapped his arms around me, probably feeling my tension.

Alice slowly shook her head and looked at me. "Bella? Who's Fang?"
