Chapter Seven
Edward's P.O.V
Bella continued to cry as I carried her upstairs and into my room, as I felt her tiny body shake with her sobs and heard her heart beat rhythmically, I felt an overwhelming urge to protect her and keep her sake. She intrigued me as she did scare me. I was intrigued at the fact that I couldn't read her mind but at the same time I was scared, scared of the calling my inner monster had towards her scent and blood. I was grateful that now I had seen her in danger my bloodlust had decreased somewhat in intensity, being replaced the uncontrollable urge to protect her.
I knew Alice was following me and felt comforted by her presence, if anything was to go wrong Alice would foresee it and I would be able to detach myself from that situation. As we got to my room I sat with Bella cradled in my lap on the only piece of furniture in my room: a sofa. Alice sat next to me and together we waited out Bella's sobs, I gently stroked her hair as she tried to calm down. After what seemed like years to me, but could only have been seconds, she stopped crying.
She slowly pulled away from my shoulder and rubbed her small hands over her eyes to wipe her tears away. "Emmett is mean," she said before sucking her thumb and playing with her ear. Me and Alice shared a laugh at what she said.
"Yes he is, but you'll get him back later," Alice said winking at Bella.
"How?" Bella asked before returning her thumb to her mouth.
"I'll tell you later, are you sleepy Bella?" Alice asked again and I caught a glimpse of Bella asleep on my sofa in Alice's thoughts. Bella nodded this time refusing to take her thumb out of her mouth.
"Well lie down and Edward will hum you a song," Alice said and I looked at her in confusion as she got up from the sofa to make room for Bella. I gently laid Bella on the sofa and laid down on the edge of the sofa scared in case she rolled off in her sleep. I choose Esme's song to hum to her as she closed her eyes and curled into a ball. Alice laid a quilt I hadn't known she has went to get over Bella.
Five minutes later and Bella was sleeping soundly, thumb still in place. I couldn't help but notice how cute and peaceful she looked when she slept. "She appeals to you," Alice said, interrupting the silence.
"Her blood does," I said honestly.
"Do you know why?" Alice asked.
"No, do you?" I asked hopefully only to be disappointed when she shook her head.
"Bella's future is difficult to read there are many factors influencing it, but I'll watch for any signs although you might want to talk to Emmett about it he has experienced the same thing, he may be able to help."
"Thank you Alice."
"I'm going to find Jasper, don't worry you'll be fine. You don't hurt her Edward not today at least." Alice said before leaving my room. I returned my gaze to Bella, I felt oddly tranquil as I watched her sleep. My frozen heart almost melted when she turned in her sleep and grabbed a handful of my shirt as she snuggled into my chest, she reminded me of the little sister I had never got to haveā¦
