Hiya guys!

Sorry for the short chapter. I am trying to update two stories at the same time.

Please check out my other story "COMING BACK FROM DEATH." It's a Bella's incarnation story.

Here's a short clip from it's prologue-

Victoria kicked my head, cracking my skull. I was temporally blinded. I rolled on my back. When my vision came back, I saw red surrounded by green. Victoria was standing above me.

"Think you can run from me, huh?" she said in a soft voice.

She bent down and brought her lips to my ears.

"Well…let me inform you, sweet human, I am going to kill you anyhow. So no use of running honey."

Mt heart was thumping in my chest rapidly. I knew death was close, too close. I closed my eyes tightly, preparing myself for any attack.

Suddenly, I felt a sharp blow on my skull, followed by a loud crack. I got dizzy. Smell of rust and salt filling my nose.

"Hmm…the best meal of my life." Victoria murmured.

I felt something sharp sinking in my jugular.

Here it is. The death.

I felt white spots behind my eyes.

I am sorry for not keeping my promise.

I love you Edward, forever.

And I breathed the last time.

Okay…it's not so short. But please give it a try.

Now off with this story.

CHAPTER 7

FIRST FRIENDLY CONVERSATION

Everything was happening so fast. Or was it slow? I don't know.

I just stood there. Dumbfounded.

I was numb.

After the cops took Edward, Emmet and Rosalie went with them and talked to Charlie about what happened. Meanwhile, Jasper took Alice and me at the Cullen's house. Alice was sobbing the whole way and Jasper was trying to comfort her. Once or twice, I saw Jasper looking at me, but looked ahead at the expression on my face. I don't know what my face depicted. Maybe shock? Maybe hurt? I don't know.

But about one thing I was positive.

I felt numb.

When we reached at the Cullen's house and told Esme and Carlisle about what happened, Esme started sobbing on Carlisle's chest. Carlisle looked angry.

And then I felt the dread.

What if Carlisle decided to start keeping Edward away from me.

Carlisle was fed up of Edward's behavior towards me. He, in the past, had surely tried to keep Edward away from me. But Edward never listened. Carlisle was angry, but he never looked THIS much angry. It was as if I was watching the other side of Cullen men today.

First Edward's animalistic side.

Now, Carlisle's true anger.

But if he really kept Edward away from me; which he surely will in his current mood; why should I feel scared. It will be good for me, wouldn't it? That's what I wanted for past so many years, didn't I? He will be away from me, I will be free from his flirts.

So why was I feeling scared?

Then the phone rang.

"Hello." Carlisle picked it up.

He was on the phone for a minute and then said to us,

"I am going to pick Edward from station."

If he went now, he will surely punish him.

On the instinct, I rose up.

"NO!"

Everyone stared at me.

"I…I..Mean…I mean I will go pick him up."

Carlisle rose an eyebrow at me.

"I need to…to…to…"

"Talk to him." Alice suggested.

"Yeah…Talk to him.'' I looked at Carlisle.

"Okay…take my car." He handed me his Mercedes keys.

I ran out of the house and drove the car to the station. Upon reaching there, I saw Edward waiting on the stairs.

When he saw the car, he looked…SCARED.

OH MY GOSH!

Edward freakin Cullen can be scared.

I have to use it in future.

He walked towards the car. He had a black eye and was limping a bit.

He reached the passenger door and took a heavy breath. He closed his eyes and got inside.

"I'm ready. Scream your heart out on me dad. But I would tell you, it wouldn't change a thing."

I guess he didn't saw me due to tinted glass.

Poor Edward.

"What do you want me to say." I looked at him.

His eyes opened and looked at me with wide eyes.

"Oh Bella. I thought it's dad."

"He's furious with you."

"I know."

He kept quiet.

I grabbed his chin and turned his face towards me. He had few scratches on his face and a black eye.

"Your eye will take time to heal." I said.

He was staring at my lips.

"Do you want even more physical assault Edward."

He smirked.

"In what way are you exactly talking about?"

Usually, I would have slapped him at such comment. But today, I cried.

"You fool, do you have any idea how scared I was?'' my nose was running and I was tasting tears while screaming.

"Bella, hush." He hugged me.

I was sobbing in his chest. He was comforting me.

After fifteen minutes or so, I got my emotions in control.

"Let's go home. Carlisle is ready to kill you."

"Yeah. Should I be scared?" He asked.

"Terrified." I looked at me.

"Wish me luck." He muttered.

I laughed.

And then I realized, we had our first friendly conversation.

It's a progress, isn't it?

How was it?
