What You've Done
7
It was a rather quiet night in Volterra, although, it's supernatural citizens were certainly not as restful as those mortal.
And certainly not the Cullen clan.
"I can't believe this, what on Earth prompted all of this, I mean, I know Edward wanted what was best for her, but, honestly, why would she go off the deep end like that?" Rosalie asked whilst pacing around in the center room of the quarters that the Cullen's had been shown to.
"Babe, I know it helps you think, but your pacing gets no one else anywhere." Emmett told his wife, holding his brutish arms out to hold her, offering her comfort within arms that could usually crush.
"As Aro said, Rosalie, it may be something we never find out without consulting Bella herself." Carlisle wisely said.
Alice resumed Rosalie's pacing. "No, I don't want to know that, I want to know why Bella would disregard our feelings so much that-"
"That what?" A soft voice cut them off.
All of the Cullen's gazes swept to find Bella in the doorway, holding the pale hand of Marcus in both of her own.
"That I would feel betrayed by what you did, lost in the tide of an apparently unrequited love?" Bella hissed at them. "That I wouldn't consider that life was hardly worth it without my best friend, that the love I held for all of you wouldn't drag me down once you all had abandoned me."
Marcus reached around to embrace her, in her flooding of feelings, bringing her closer to his chest and grasping both of her clawed hands in his gentle ones. "Hush now, I'm sure you did not mean to come down here in a rage, picolo. They are merely trying to understand."
"Understanding or not, they should have more respect for my choices." Bella whispered.
"They cannot hope to understand that which they have never felt." Marcus whispered in her ear.
"It has been felt, by a few in this room, mio Salvatore, I had hoped that they would understand the pain, but it's obviously been too long since their tragedies." Bella sighed. "Take me back to bed, Marcus, I tire of this, I cannot withstand it long, an it has been long enough."
"As you wish." Marcus said as he glared once at the Cullens before leading her from the room.
When the mysterious king and Bella had left, Emmett was the first to break the tense silence. "Does anyone else feel like we're missing something again?"
Carlisle shook his head, "I don't know Emmett, but one thing is for sure, we don't know what we've done yet, to Bella, completely, and I have a feeling that once we do, we're not going to like it."
A unanimous affirmative was all that could be said.
Mio Salvatore- My savior
[A/N: Soooooo sorry I let this go so long, I'm trying to get this back together, so I than those that have held on to hope, you had more faith than I did, Chapter 8 may take a little while considering that I haven't started it yet, but I will try to crank that out before July, so just hold on tight! ~melonkitty]
