Okay, first off, I am not criticising the anonymous reviewer. In fact, you're reading my story, so thank you. So before you blow your lid, I was just stating something that appeared true. It wasn't a smartass comment; I was being honest.
Anyway, enough of that- Here is chapter nine! Enjoy! (Ps, more darkward- twisted/obssesive) I feel like I have to warn people about that...
I sat gulping in copious amounts of air, feeling the back of the chair dig into my spine. Where was Paul? I squirmed under my binds and I was chastised.
''Bella! Why're you trying to get out?'' His voice held enough surprise that I stopped dead.
''I don't want to be here! I don't want to be near you!'' I started crying, again. But it was fruitless. He would only wipe my tears away and try to comfort me.
''Shh, I won't let that wolf brainwash you, Love'' I shook my head frantically.
''Edward... Please!'' My voice sounded broken, strained. But then my stomach rumbled.
''I'll go make you some food'' He was in the kitchen before I could even blink.
''Edward?'' I knew he would hear me.
''Yes, Love?''
''Where are the others?''
''Ah, I thought you might ask. They've gone hunting. They'll be back later today'' I internally sighed with relief. They'd help me. I got lost in thought; daydreaming.
A plate was placed on the table and I was freed. I shot my arms forward and grabbed the warm plate, scarfing it down. I heard a low chuckle.
''I need to feed you more, don't I?'' I stopped mid-chew, looking at him with wide-eyes. I wasn't hungry anymore, so I pushed the plate away. Edward saw my look of disgust and took my plate away without question, bringing me a glass of water when he returned. I drank that happily.
''Now Love, when do you want to get married?'' I choked on the water.
''Never!'' I said this as vehemently as I could.
''But you agreed to marry me!''
''...Before I fell in love with Paul'' I said quietly.
A roar escaped his lips, vicious and piercing. I shied from the sound.
''You will marry me, Isabella!''
''N...no, I won't''
''Yes, you will'' His voice lowered dangerously, eyes narrowing ''When the others get back'' I was tied back up then, watching him head out of the door. I needed Paul. I felt hollow and empty, I needed to be with him, now. I shut my eyes, hoping to sleep. It worked.
I woke up to the sound of angry hissing.
''Why would you do this Edward!''
''She still loves me! She was just brainwashed!'' His voice rang with desperation
''If you love her, you'd want her to be happy!''
''She can be happy with me!''
''But she's not, is she? Bella's fighting you, because she's in love with Paul!''
''.!'' I heard a whimper ''She loves me!''
''No, she doesn't'' A new voice chimed in, Jasper.
''When Alice said Pauls' name then, I felt Bella's emotions change into ones of peace, happiness and love'' I heard someone scoff ''She loves him, more so than she loved you''
''No! We're getting married!''
''Edward, do you love Bella?'' His answer was silent
''Well let her go''
''No. We're getting married and I'm changing her!''
''Edward'' Carlisle cut in now ''I demand you let Isabella go!''
''Carlisle, father, I can't. She belongs with me'' Silent for a beat ''Help me change her, please''
''No. You're taking away her choice, Edward. I refuse to be a part of this'' I almost screamed when a large, cold hand clampled over half of my face.
''Quiet, Bellsy. I'm busting you out, so stay still'' I froze, willing my heart to slow. Hands worked at vampire speed to untie me, and I was slung over Emmetts broad back, this scenario heartbreakingly familiar. I was then brought round and carried bridal style, into the large dining room.
''Hi, guys'' I sounded scared. Good.
''''Emmett, put her back. Now!'' Edward was growling, an unbroken noise.
''Ah, pipe down, Eddie-Boy. I figured Bella should have a say'' He didn't put me down though, so I spoke from my place in his arms.
''Edward, please. Let me go back to Paul. I stopped loving you a long time ago. You stopped me from being around my best friend. He was there to fix me, bring me back to life after you left me alone in the woods. One of the Quileute wolves, Sam, brought me back to Charlie. He didn't hurt me! Edward, I need to be with Paul; Im empty and hollow. I need him just like I need the air to breathe. I love him, more than my own life. And I miss him, painfully'' My voice had lowered to a mere whisper, but I knew that every ear in the room would hear me ''I want to be human. I want to get married, have children and grow old, with Paul''
I looked around the room, and my eyes landed on Rosalies' breathtaking face and her wide eyes were shining with unshed tears. I was going to live the life she craved.
''No!'' A voice ruined the calm moment ''You love me! You will marry me!''
''I don't want to. I want to be with Paul''
His eyes shimmered with anger. Then he lunged.
Chapter nine? Done! Love/Hate- let me know! :) May post another chapter today, depends.
