Chapter 10: BPOV - Arguement
The growling grew louder and soon little Jane joined in to. She had a firm grip on my arm, and I was sure that she wouldn't let go.
I looked over at Edward to see fury and worry in his eyes. Knowing him, he probably thought they were going to drag me back to Italy.
I wouldn't blame him, if I were in his position, I would probably do the same thing, but now really isn't the time.
Pulling my arm from Jane's grip, I casually stepped around Alec and stood my self between him and Edward.
"Bella!" Alec hissed and reached to grab me. I stopped him with a look.
"Honestly, I feel like I'm in a soap opera, too much drama! Now, will you two just relax?" I asked them.
I could see Edward stand up from his crouch, but still had the same look in his eyes. Alec remained on the ground, glaring at Edward. I knelt beside him and looked him dead in the eye.
"Just trust me Alec. There is no danger." I assured him.
"But Bella, how can we trust him when we don't even know him?" Alec asked.
I immediately felt guilty. I had kept my past from them, and now it only led to problems.
I sighed and placed a hand on Alec shoulder. "I know him."
His eyes turned to suspicion and he glanced at Edward, who still was watching me carefully. I turned to look a Jane and was instantly worried. She was glaring at Edward and I had a feeling that if I didn't do something soon, Edward would be on the ground being held mercifully be Jane's gift.
I quickly placed a shield in Edwards mind to prevent that from happening.
"Edward." I addressed him, and his eyes softened slightly, but he was still wary of them. "I think we should head back to your house. I have a lot of explaining to do."
He nodded his head in agreement. I turned back to Jane and Alec, who was now standing.
"Come on, follow him." I said as Edward started to run back to the house. I followed behind him and I could hear Jane and Alec run to catch up. They were soon on either side of me, refusing to leave. I rolled my eyes at them and picked up the place.
We soon arrived at the Cullen house and we slowed to a walk. I turn to Jane and Alec and looked at them seriously.
"Be nice." I told them, and two grins spread across their faces. "I'm serious." I said before turning around and walking into the house.
The atmosphere of the room was incredibly tense. I could tell that all seven of them didn't trust Jane and Alex, Jasper was standing slightly in front of Alice protectively. I could see that Alice was clearly wary of their Volturi guests, but I could see that she was pouting. This little turn of events had obviously postponed our shopping trip. I couldn't be happier about that.
Jane and Alec were still stood beside me, and were staring at the Cullen's, and the Cullen's at them. I decided to take the lead.
"Okay, Jane, Alex, these are the Cullen's; Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice and Edward." I said, gesturing at each of them in turn. Then I turned to the Cullen's. "These are Jane and Alec of the Volturi." I said placing a hand on their shoulders.
"Bella, what is the meaning of this? Why did you bring us here?" Alec demanded, and I could see all the Cullen's, sweet Esme included, glare at him.
I sighed and looked at him. "I haven't been totally honest with you guys." I told them, shifting my gaze to my now tattered shoes. Great, all the more reason for Alice to drag me shopping.
"What are you talking about?" Jane asked, eyeing the Cullen's carefully. I turned to look at Carlisle.
"Should I tell them?" I asked him.
"I think that would be best. It would probably end up bad if you don't." He replied.
I sighed again. I grabbed Alec's and Jane's hands and pulled them to the sofa to hit down.
Taking a deep breath, I recalled my tale from when I was human.
I told them about my first meeting with Edward. I explained how I started to get suspicious of the Cullen's when Edward saved me from the Van. I told them about when he started to ignore me, but a month later we started talking again. I told them about my trip to La push and Jacob, and about that awful encounter in Port Angles when Edward saved me. I then went on to explain falling love with him, and I told them all about James and his coven.
I then told them about Edward leaving and my life before they Aro arrived finishing my story with how we meet again.
Once I had finished my tale, I took a deep breath and looked at them. They were both obviously furious, but I wasn't sure if it was directed at me, or at the Cullen's.
Jane suddenly smiled sweetly at Edward, and in that instant I was extremely happy that I didn't remove the shield from him. Jane's eyes narrowed when her gift wasn't working on him, and she growled menacingly.
"Bella, remove your shield." She told me through her teeth.
I squared my shoulders. "No."
"Bella, he deserves it for causing you such pain." She complained, still not removing her glare from Edward.
Suddenly the Cullen's got very defensive. "How could you say such things after what the Volturi did to Bella?!" Rosalie shouted. I was a little shocked by the fury in her voice, it was intimidating.
"What we did?" Alec asked furious. "You were the ones who left her defenceless when there were so many things against her. She even had to go to the aid of werewolves!" Alec shouted, twisting the word werewolves.
"At least we didn't force her to watch while you drank from humans. That's practically torture to a newborn." Alice countered.
"Well at least we..." Jane started, but I interrupted.
"That's enough!" I shouted, gaining everyone's attention. It was like they forgot I was even here. "I do not appreciate you fighting over me like I'm somebody's property!" I shouted at both sides.
"Exactly." Emmett sneered at Jane and Alec.
I shot him a dark look. "Nor do I appreciate you guys blaming each other, and offending the other side. What's done is done." I turned to look at the twins. "I forgave them long ago, way before I became a vampire so stop blaming them." They looked like they wanted to argue, but I gave them a look that said, 'just try and argue with me,' so they looked down to the floor. I turned to the Cullen's. "Not everyone at the Volturi treated me like property. Jane and Alec were probably the only ones that treated me equally, after a while." I said with a slight smile playing at my lips.
Jane laughed quietly, and I could feel that the tension in the room was all but vanished.
Carlisle stepped forward, a small, apologetic smile on his face. "We're sorry Bella. It was extremely rude of us to act like that."
"It's not me you should apologize to." I said nodding my head towards the twins.
"You're right. Jane, Alec, please forgive us for acting like that. I want to thank you for being there for Bella whilst at the Volturi. I can see that she cares deeply about you two." Carlisle said honestly.
Jane and Alec were both taken aback by Carlisle apology and it left them without words. "It's err, no problem." Jane said, slightly embarrassed.
"I guess we should apologize also. If Bella can forgive you, so can we." Alec said. Then he did the thing I least expected from him. He stood up, walked towards Edward and looked him straight in the eye. "If you ever do something like that to Bella again, you can be sure that you'd hear from me." He warned
"And Me." followed Jane.
Edward looked at me, and love filled his eyes. "I can assure you that I have no intention of leaving Bella again. It hurts too much to think about it." He said, not removing his gaze from me. He quickly stepped away from Alec and ran to me, wrapping his arms around me tightly.
"Good." Alec said. I could tell he was satisfied with the answer, but there was something that was troubling him. "Now, there is only one more thing we have to do." He continued "How are you going to get Bella out of the Voturi?"
Okay, thats it.
I hope you enjoyed that.
Please review and tell me what you think.
LOVE YOU ALL
