Chapter 9
The next day….
After breakfast Bella got another letter from Edward.
She grabbed hold of it and ran out of the room with Rosalie and Alice and into her room.
She tore it open and started reading it out loud.
Dear Bella.
What you told me in the letter that you sent me deeply concerned me.
I'm sorry that you were changed that way and by that man.
I'm coming to the school to enrol there to protect you.
You can't stop me.
I want to protect you when he comes.
I told my pack that I was going to enrol to keep an eye on the vampires there which is half true.
I don't like to lie to them but I must if it means protecting you from those who want to hurt you.
I'll be there soon.
See you soon my love.
Edward.
"That's good then." Alice said. "That's good that his coming here."
"Yeah but what if the vampires here smell he is not human." Bella replied.
"Don't worry about that." Rosalie said. "I hear that werewolves can hide their smell from vampires. He did that when we first met him."
Bella nodded. "I remember."
About a minute later someone knocked on the door.
Rosalie opened the door to see Headmaster Gray standing there.
"Hello girls."
"Hello."
"I was just wondering. Have you got another bed to spare?" she asked.
Rosalie nodded.
"Good. Because a boy has just enrolled here and he says that he knows you girls and I thought that he can share your room."
He stepped aside to reveal Edward standing behind her.
Rosalie smiled at him. "Sure he can sleep here."
Headmaster Gray nodded. "Good. I must be going now."
Bella ran into his arms as he walked into the room and closed the door behind him.
"Why didn't you tell me about him before?" Edward asked.
"Because I didn't want to worry about you." Bella replied.
"What's his name?"
"Aro."
"I'll protect you when he comes."
Bella kissed him. "Thank you."
Suddenly there were screams coming from outside the room.
Rosalie opened the door and a girl ran into her.
"What's going on?" Rosalie asked as she brought the girl into the room.
"A man walked into the courtyard with a group of vampires and started attacking everyone. Headmaster Gray has taken all the humans to a safe place so the vampires won't find them. Headmaster Gray told everyone to fight but I was so scared. I came up here to hide from them. I'm only new to this world. I was only created about a year ago. I still don't understand everything."
"It's going to be alright." Alice said. "What's your name?"
"Bree Tanner."
"You can stay here while we go out there." Edward said.
"Wait you're going out there?" Bree asked. "Why? It's too dangerous to be out there."
Bella nodded. "We have to go out there. Don't worry. You'll be safe if you stay here. They won't find you in here." She said as she ran out of the room with Alice, Edward and Rosalie behind her.
