Chapter 6
EPOV
When my siblings and I got home from school I was still in shock from seeing Bella again! Carlisle and Esme were in the living room watching a film but soon turned it off when they saw the looks on our faces.
"What is it? Is everything ok? How was school?" Carlisle asked looking at us all with concern.
"We saw……..Bella!" Alice spoke for us, we were all in shock! "She is alive! Well she is a vampire! She has invited us all round to her family's house tonight to discuss everything!"
Carlisle and Esme both sat there with open mouths, which in any other situation would have made us all laugh but this was no laughing matter!
"So what are we waiting for, let's go!" Carlisle looked so excited at the prospect of seeing his daughter he practically jumped out of his seat.
"Wait, let's think about this, does she really want us to go? I mean she might still be upset about us leaving her?" Esme, always the voice of reason!
"No, she really did seem genuine when she asked us to come over, she might not react well to Edward but……." Alice started to answer
"Excuse me I only tried to tell her I still love her, it was seeing her with him! His scent was all over her it was disgusting!" The memory of it made me growl and the venom rush to my lips.
"What? Bella has found someone else?" Both Carlisle and Esme looked as surprised as we did. "I suppose what can we expect it has been 150 years, I suppose we were just being delusional thinking she wouldn't find love, again"
I growled at Esme's words, there is no way she would have found love like ours again! Even if she did love him, it wouldn't be as strong as ours. I was just about to comment when I was interrupted "Look can we just go already, I really want to know what happened to her and how she has been all these years?" Emmett was anxious to see his little sister again.
"Yes, yes your right let's go!" Carlisle started rushing to the door, shoving us as he went.
"Carlisle! There is no way I am leaving this house to see my long lost daughter again after 150years without having a shower first!" Esme shouted at him before he reached the front door, we all stared at her, never in all the years we had been together had any of us heard Esme raise her voice to Carlisle.
"Of course you are right love, sorry" He made his way back to the living room and gave her a quick apologetic peck on the cheek.
Everyone went upstairs to get ready, I heard several showers go, they obviously wanted to make a good impression.
Once everyone was gathered downstairs Carlisle, Esme, Alice and Japer went in Carlisle's car whilst Rosalie, Emmett and I went in mine. 5 minutes later we pulled up to a house very similar to our own, and we all nervously walked up to the front door. The door was opened by an older looking female vampire who had a smile on her face.
"Welcome to our home" she smiled and gestured for us to step into the living room. "I will just get the others although I expected them to be here we knew when you were going to arrive, my husband Russell is just out hunting he has been working at the hospital and sometimes he finds it harder than others to control the urges. Olly and Hannah are…. behind you" she laughed as she said this and we all turned around to see the two 'younger' vampires standing behind us trying but failing to supress cheeky grins. "Sorry about them two, they may be over 160 but sometimes they act more like they are still 16!".
We all took seats on the sofas on one side of the room, leaving the other side of the room free for the Field family. Olly and Hannah took a seat in the two seater sofa by the fireplace. Marie went to the bottom of the stairs and called up to Bella and Jared who were in their room, I didn't want to imagine what they were up to!
"We are coming, just give us a moment" Jared called back and the images in my mind just got worse. We could hear them moving around in their room, and from the sounds of it they were redressing, I felt sick at the thought of him touching her and I wanted to rip him to shreds. Jasper sensing my emotions sent a wave of calm over to me but it did little to help me.
"No, don't even think about whatever you are thinking about" We heard Bella warn him, me and my family looked at each other confused whilst the Fields just chuckled to themselves obviously knowing what was happening. Jared appeared on the stairs with Bella on his back who was laughing! Oh how long I had waited to hear her laughter again, but knowing that he was the cause of it tainted it for me. When he put her down she seemed to realise we were in the room and when her gaze fell upon Carlisle and Esme she practically threw herself at them.
I could hear Carlisle's thoughts as he hugged her, "Oh how long I have wished to hold Bella again, I finally have my daughter back!"
"Carlisle, Esme I missed you! Have you met the whole family?" she looked so eager to show them her new family, it hurt Carlisle to hear her say that.
"We have met Marie and Hannah and Oliver tried to surprise us but we have yet to meet Russell and Jared is it?" Carlisle responded looking up at Jared.
"Oh of course I am so rude, this is Jared my husband of the last 125 years, Jared this is Carlisle and Esme but I suppose you already worked that one out" Jared politely shook Carlisle's hand and they sat down on the sofa opposite where we were sitting.
125 years! That mean that she had been single for 25 years after we left, maybe she wasn't as over me as she thought, maybe I could split her and Jared up! I sat back whilst the rest of the conversation carried on around me, I was vaguely aware of Alice and Olly discussing the future when I heard something that caught my attention.
"Ok, in five minutes Jared is going to get very angry causing his power to activate and he will only calm down once Izzy gets close enough to him to calm him down again" Everyone turned to look at Jared, what sort of power did this guy possess, at lunch Bella had warned him, what could be so bad that it was to be avoided at all costs?
Olly's next statement shocked me to the core, "You don't, but let me tell you this, all of us know that Jared would do nothing to hurt Izzy and when his power activates she is the only one who has ever been able to calm him enough for it to stop but doing so causes her some pain, which being a vampire you must know is very hard to do".
I looked at Jared disgusted after shouting at me at lunch he turns out to be worse than me when it comes to hurting Bella. All the other members of my family looked as shocked as me that a vampire could cause that much pain in another vampire. I couldn't contain my anger any longer!
"So you shouted at me earlier for leaving Bella for her own good but when you get angry which judging on what I have seen seems quite often you can cause a vampire physical harm which you inflict on her!" I couldn't believe how hypocritical he was being, I left Bella for her own good but what he does to her is through his own fault!
"Look Edward you know nothing about Jared and his past, so leave him alone, I know he doesn't mean me any harm and in fact he has asked me not to put myself in harm's way but I can't stand back and watch him suffer because I love him!" Bella looked at me with anger, why couldn't she see I just want the best for her, which isn't Jared!
