Chapter 10: Poison
"Bella wait. That's not."
"Edward don't, just don't."
"That's not what I meant, I'm sorry it just came out. I wasn't thinking."
"You did mean I though! Why can everyone else get along with werewolves but you?"
"This has nothing to do with werewolves and everything to do with the fact that all he ever did was try to take you away from me, and get closer to you!"
"You let him get close!" tears were streaming down her face now.
"Bella, I know I did, and I'm sorry. It's just he reminds me so much of Jacob, the way he taunts me. Like he's egging me on, he wants me to do something, something that I will regret and that will make you hate me."
"That would never happen. I couldn't hate you. I strongly dislike you right now yes, but never hate." She glared at me.
"Bella. Please. I'm sorry. It came out wrong. I didn't mean I'm happy he's gone. I just meant I just recently got you back all to myself. I don't want to give that up again. I don't want to share you. please forgive me." I pleaded.
"I forgive you Edward, I just want to be alone right now. Please."
"Bella. No, its not safe."
"You found out who the strange werewolf was. It's as safe as its ever going to be for me. Please just give me time. I'll be back soon. I just want to go think."
My face dropped, she didn't want to be around me.
"I love you Edward just everything is a lot for a, human, to take in all at once."
I nodded. I knew it was a lot. I was now questioning the integrity of her new friends, our new friends I guess. Since everyone else liked them. Jacob was still gone, and I had just made it worse. I sighed and plopped on the bed.
"I love you Bella. Please know that I would never want to hurt you."
"I know Edward. I do. Just I understand why your freaking out but I don't really see them as a threat. You shouldn't either, trust me more than that."
"I do trust you, its him I don't trust."
"I know. I love you though, no one else, not Jacob not this new Zane guy. Only you. Alice called Charlie, and told him that I was staying here with her. Help clean up after the party. I'll be back soon, promise."
I tried to smile as she walked out my door. As soon as I knew she was no longer in hearing range, I shot up and began to pace.
BELLAS POV
I walked down the stairs. Everyone must have been in there rooms or out back. I slowly walked toward the front door and opened it.
I was down the driveway before I knew it.
I didn't know why I had to get away, I just did. I wanted to think and I couldn't with Edward there watching me.
I knew he didn't mean to say what he did about Jacob, but it still hurt to hear it. He was gone, I had to except that. There was no way Jacob was ever coming back. I clenched the pendent in a fist. I felt tears roll down my cheek.
"Bella."
I spun around on the spot. There was nothing there.
It was a voice I shouldn't be hearing. It was a deep husky voice. Jacobs voice. I took a deep breath. No I was not hearing voices again. I refuse to believe it.
I started to walk forward again.
"Bella what are you doing out here?"
I spun around again and almost smacked right into Zane. I let out a low scream.
He stepped back a little.
"Sorry."
"No, did you call me?"
"Just now yea."
"No, before that. Just my name."
"No, I just saw you a second again. Are you ok?"
"Ugh I'm hearing things again." I shouted as I crossed my arms.
"Sounds like a personal problem to me." he smiled
"Not funny."
"What are you doing out here?"
"What are you doing out here?" I replied bitterly I was sick of people worrying about me.
"Vampire remember?"
"Oh yeah. Hunting?"
He shrugged. "Something like that."
"Something like that? What's that mean?" I never got my answer. Before he could even speak Orion and riley came running out of the woods.
"We got him!" Riley said as she stopped dead in her tracks at the sight of me.
"Got who?" I asked nervously.
I got my answer for that one. It was an answer I had been waiting for, for months as another figure stepped slowly out of the woods.
Tears poured down my face, I started shaking. This had to be a dream it just had to. Before I could say anything, it all went black.
I was surrounded by nothing but darkness.
EDWARDS POV
I was pacing back and forth in my room when I heard the door burst open downstairs.
I was down there within seconds.
"Get off of her! What did you do?" I growled as Zane placed Bella on the couch.
"I didn't do anything! I found her outside past the end of your driveway! She passed out on me so I carried her here. I didn't know your number to call you!"
"Get away from her!" I hissed threw my teeth, I crouched beside Bella protectively as the rest of my family came running down the stairs.
Carlisle came over to Bella I was still in my protective mode so I wouldn't let him through.
"Edward let me through if you want me to help her. Move!" He ordered me I straightened up and let him past me.
Esme had brought Carlisle his bag.
After what felt like hours really it was only a matter of minutes Carlisle was done.
"She's fine, she just fainted. What happen when she fainted."
I looked at Zane and glared. He was still blocking me, I couldn't get anything from him. It was empty space.
"I asked her what she was doing out there, when riley and Orion stepped out of the woods. I think they scared her so she fainted. I'm not sure. I was just getting something to keep my strength up when I smelled her out there."
"You can leave now!" I shot at him as walked in front of him.
"I'm not going anywhere until I know she's ok."
"She, is not your concern!" I was glaring at him, with daggers. My face was inches away from his. He had the same cold evil look on his face that I had.
'I don't think Bella would appreciate the way your treating her new friend do you?' He screamed it in my head and then he smiled at me.
"Both of you kids knock it off! This isn't bout your stupid egos this is about Bella!" I heard Alice shout at us.
I growled low in my throat, and walked back toward Bella.
"Jacob." she whispered before I reached her. Everyone of my family looked around and got a sad look on there face.
I sighed.
"Who's Jacob, she said Jacob after she fainted."
"A Friend of hers that was killed recently. He was part of the Pack, werewolf. She doesn't believe he's gone though." Alice said weakly.
"Why not?"
"The necklace she wears, used to be his. She says he left it for her on her window sill to let her know he was ok. She doesn't want to believe he's gone, but its been months and there hasn't been anything."
"Oh." Was all he said. Oh, was right. it was none of his business.
Bella began to stir. She shot straight up and gasped.
"Bella, are you ok love?"
She looked around, her eyes stopped on Zane. I looked up at him, he looked like he was concentrating very hard on something, I still couldn't get what though. I looked back to Bella her eyes got wide.
BELLAS POV
'Don't tell them about your friend, if that was even your friend. We don't know who he was, We found him like that. don't tell them not yet. Please I'll explain everything just give me a chance.' I heard it clear as day in my head. I was shocked but quickly wiped my face clean of worry.
"I'm, yeah, I'm fine." I nodded. I don't know who I was really nodding to, Zane, Edward or both.
Edward grabbed me in a hug and buried his face in my hair.
I looked up at Zane questionably.
'Tomorrow, I'll tell you everything, let me explain. We don't know much either.' I sighed and looked away.
"What's wrong?" Edward whispered in my ear.
"I want to go to my room."
"Ok, I, I'll take you home." he said with sad look on his face.
I laughed lightly and shook my head.
"Upstairs, my room, our room upstairs." I smiled.
"That, I can do." and he gently put his arm under my knees and his other arm around my back and lifted me up bridal style.
We were in his room before I knew it. He was sitting on his bed and me cradled in his lap.
"Bella. I love you. But I just don't trust Zane, please just trust me on this and be careful."
"Ok, I will."
"Promise me?"
"Promise." she said and grabbed my hand pulling me onto the bed.
"Bella, what's wrong?" he held my chin so I couldn't turn to look away.
"Nothing."
He just looked at me with wide eyes.
"It's just." I stopped and looked around. "I saw Jacob that's why I fainted."
"Bella," his face dropped.
"No, don't you even tell me I'm just imagining it. I'm not! Zane even." I caught my words and stopped.
"Zane what." Edward tensed up.
"I think he's hiding him Edward. He has Jacob I didn't faint because I was scared I fainted because I saw a ghost."
Edwards face looked angry. His eyes got wide and he clenched his teeth together.
"Are you sure?"
I nodded. "Zane told me not to say anything, he told me that he would explain and to give him a chance. He told me that they don't know much about it either."
"They know enough." I was suddenly sitting on the bed, alone.
"Edward!" I screamed.
He came back into the room. "What?"
"Don't, he told me he'd tell me tomorrow. Please just stay here."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Stay here."
He sighed and came over to the bed. He laid down next to me and pulled me on top of him.
"We will find out what's going on. If they have Jacob I will get him back. I promise."
"I know you will." I smiled down at him.
"You should get some sleep."
"Nope."
"What do you mean no?"
"Well I'm not tired, I'm not really in the mood for, sleeping.." She smiled her devilish smile at me and licked her lips.
"Why Miss Swan. What, are, you implying?"
EDWARDS POV
She brought her lips to mine forcefully. I wrapped my arms around her and traced patterns on her back.
I slid my hands up the side of her shirt pulling it off over her head. I felt her hands slid to the front of my shirt. She sighed and pulled away.
"The one time you don't wear a button down." She smiled innocently at me and slid my shirt up. I pushed myself up into a sitting position. She was still straddling my lap. I lifted my arms up over my head, and she gently slid my shirt up over my head and threw it to the side.
I gently kissed her cheek, and made my way down to her neck and began to nibble. She pushed on my shoulders letting me fall onto my back on the bed, she fell into me gently.
She slowly traced her fingers up my stomach and around my neck. I rolled her over onto her side, and slowly placed myself on top of her, careful not to put any weight on her what so ever.
I began to kiss her all over. Unhooking her bra, I took her breast in my hands as I kissed my way down her stomach to her waist. I let her breast fall from my hands as I traced my way down to her jeans, I slowly unbuttoned them throwing them to the side with the rest.
She was already half way done getting mine off.
I kissed her lips letting my tongue massage hers slowly.
She let out a low moan.
I could taste her breath in my mouth.
I slowly slid myself into her. She let out a loud moan, it was muffled because she put her hands over her mouth.
I smiled down at her and began to kiss her down her neck, to her breast. I took the one in my mouth and massaged the other with my hand.
I shifted myself in deeper. She dug her nails into my back.
I moaned lightly and made my way back up to her neck. I began to nibble and suck and she twisted her hips to the side and it sent shivers up my back, I moaned loudly in my throat pulling the neck of her skin with my teeth.
I made my way back up to her lips.
I felt us both reaching the release. She arched her back, as I made one final thrust. We both moaned each others names.
I laid myself down on to her gently. I felt her heart racing underneath of my chest.
She was almost gasping for air.
I rolled myself onto my side next to her.
She fell asleep in my arms soon after.
She was really hot, hotter than usually. I figured it was just from what we had just done. I smiled at the thought.
About an hour later she started tossing and turning in her sleep. I sat up and tried to wake her.
"Bella, Bella. Wake up its just a dream." I shook her shoulders gently.
She rolled her head over to the side. That's when I saw it, on the left side of her neck.
A small tiny trace of blood.
My mouth opened, I placed my hand gently on her forehead, she was still hot. It was way past hot.
She was burning up. Her skin was glistening with sweat.
I ran for the door and wrenched it open, it fell off the hinges. I ignored it nothing else mattered.
"CARLISLE!" I shouted. "COME QUICK!"
I ran back over to Bella's side. She was still tossing and turning. She was moaning now also. But it wasn't good moans like I had heard earlier. They were moans of pain.
Her face was twisted in pain also.
"Bella, no please. I'm sorry. No god please." I kissed her cheek gently the heat from her was almost unbearable.
She grabbed me by my shoulders and pulled me closer to her.
"Edward." she whispered faintly
I realized my face was wet with tears.
I buried my face into her hair.
"Edward. Back up. What happen?" I heard Carlisle ask from behind me.
I pulled away from Bella and turned her head to the side, showing Carlisle the tiniest cut.
His eyes got wide.
"I didn't mean, It just happen. I didn't mean to. We were so careful it." he put his hand up to hush me.
The rest of my family was now surrounding the bed.
I looked up at all of them. They were confused, until Carlisle stepped away from Bella to grab his bag.
There faces all dropped with sadness. Alice put her hand on my shoulder.
'I didn't see it, how could I not see this. This is my fault' she was asking her self. I heard her it just made me hate myself more.
"This isn't your fault. I knew we shouldn't have been doing what we were, but I wanted it. I was selfish, and now look what it cost me. This is my fault Alice not yours."
"Edward. This isn't your fault." Jasper said trying to send a wave of calm through me. It didn't work.
"You couldn't of known this was going to happen." Esme stated as she looked at me with sad eyes.
"No but I knew it was a possibility. I knew giving in was dangerous. I ignored that danger, and now." I couldn't finish.
"Edward, this is what she wanted. Maybe not the exact time or place or way. But its what she wanted none the less." Emmett said trying to console me.
I didn't respond, I didn't know how to. I knew this was what she wanted. She said she wanted at least, but now that she was going to have it. I had this sick feeling she was going to regret it.
Would it still be what she wanted would she still want this life. Or would she blame me for eternity.
No this wasn't going to happen. Carlisle was going to help her, just like last time. I was a snake, so lets suck the poison out.
A few minutes later Carlisle looked to me. Bella was still sweating, and tossing and turning. Her heart beat was increased.
"I'm sorry. It's to late."
"No." I shouted I grabbed Bella into my lap. "No we can just suck it out like we did with James." I hissed the last part. "Poison just like snakes poison." I insisted. There had to be a way.
"Edward, it's not that simple. It's been in her blood stream to long. If you tried to suck it out. She would die. She would loose to much blood. I'm sorry."
My heart was dead and cold. Bella had awakened my still heart, and now it was breaking.
