I want to thank you all for your FANTASTIC, FABULOUS, MARVELOUS, MAGNIFICENT, TERRIFIC, AMAZING, SUPERB, GREAT reviews!! They really brighten up my day! :D
So... How is it in reading land?
Here's the new chapter guys!
Give a round of applause! xD
Edward's POV
"But why did you bring them back, Edward?" Rosalie hissed, her eyes slits. "He was soaked in blood for heaven's sake! What if we lost control?"
"Because," I snapped, irritated.
"The small girl, she can read minds and I can't read hers!"
The room became deathly quiet, that everyone's soft breathing could be heard.
"Wh…what do you mean you can't read her mind?" Rosalie stammered, her eyes wide in shock. "I thought Bella was the only exception!"
I smirked.
"Apparently not. And I mean I can't get anything from her, like Bella here." I said calmly as I pulled a dazed Bella into my arms and kissed her head.
Oh my god! Is he?
Fang!
Oh gods, he's awake!
I frowned. Could it be? But how? He should not be waking up now. It's impossible after his injuries!
I immediately stood up. The rest was looking at me in surprise and stood up as well.
"What is it, Edward?" Jasper asked.
"Fang. He's awake." I said simply as I ran downstairs with Bella in tow and everyone behind me.
I stopped short as I saw him sitting on a chair with a bandaged chest and a braced hand and leg.
But most importantly, I noticed him bloody shirt.
The others must have noticed too as they all gasped and help their breathes. I steadied Bella as she started to look woozy at the sight of blood.
I smirked inwardly. A human who is afraid of blood is a vampire's girlfriend. Oh the irony.
Carlisle, whose blood-resisting skills were far more superior than us, was looking at the shirt in the most curious way.
"It's all right guys. You can release your breaths but Edward, I think you might need to remove Bella as she seems affected." Carlisle looked at me, amazement emblazed in his topaz eyes.
I was curious as I released my breath. Why did he tell us to? Maybe I could control it, but Jasper, surely, couldn't yet.
Bella started to groan as she held her head in her hands. Immediately, my attention was all on her as I supported her.
"Bella, are you alright?" I whispered in her ears and I lifted her off her feet and carried her out into the piano room. However, not before shooting a glance at Carlisle, the rest and Fang.
"Edward, are you alright?" My angel lifted her head off her hands weakly, her eyes eying me with concern.
I chuckled.
"Silly Bella. Just rest." I shushed her as I hummed my favourite lullaby in her ears and cradling her in my arms.
Edward.
Yes, Alice?
You know, the bloody shirt with Fang's blood all over it?
Yeah? What about it?
Our thirst isn't affected by it…
Max POV
My instinct to kick everyone's butts, grab Fang and get the hell out of here was really getting harder to suppress. I was so tensed but suddenly, I felt a wave of calm wash over me. I felt so peaceful then, as if the weight of the world was lifted off my shoulders. I wanted to hold on to that feeling but one look at Fang and his still bleeding body, reality struck me again. Hard.
"It's all right guys. You can release your breaths but Edward, I think you might need to remove Bella as she seems affected." Carlisle said as he looked at Edward.
Release your breath? Gee, if you're so afraid of blood, why come and visit lil' ole Fang and his nasty blood?
A tall, blonde guy who was standing next to a short, pixie-like girl with short black hair was looking at me weirdly.
"Carlisle, what happened? Why is this…?" A big, burly man with big, BIG muscles was staring at Fang's bloody shirt like it would bite him.
"I don't know, Emmett. But right now, this young man needs rest. Jasper, can you bring him to your room?" Carlisle had a look that said quite clearly We're not discussing this now in front of them.
"No."
Fang was looking at Carlisle was a passive face that I knew all too well.
"I agree. Playtime's over. We really need to get going now. You see, we have some – er- errands to run."
I was taking control again. I walked up to Fang and motioned him to follow me. I whistled shrilly and immediately, the flock was in the room, ready to leave.
"Not so fast, Max."
Edward was back. He stood at the door, as if blocking the way was going to help. His stance was rigid and looked ready to fight me, if necessary.
"It seems both parties still have some questions left unanswered. Like for instance, how that little girl, Angel, could read minds?" He raised a perfectly curved eyebrow.
Now, I was fuming. Worse than that. I was pissed.
How dare he try to keep me here when I wanted to leave? (A/N: I know she's acting really bitchy but she'll warm up later. You know, cos of her paranoia, so she's like that now.)
"Move aside, wise guy, or I'll kick your butt to the middle of next year." I hissed, venom practically dripping off my sentences.
Someone behind me coughed, but it sounded like he was trying to hold in a laugh. I got a feeling it was that big guy, "Emmett".
"Wait, Edward is right. You shouldn't be going just yet, especially with Fang here still injured and weak." Carlisle stepped out from behind us.
Fine, if they want to be like that…
"Angel?"
"Yes, Max?"
"I give you full permission to use your 'gift'" I said, but even I could hear the doubt in my voice. Was it really appropriate for us to toy with the minds of someone who had actually helped us?
"No." Edward was looking at me with a determined look mixed with pure amazement and shock.
"No, it is not right to try and 'toy with our minds' after we actually helped you. That's not really grateful, Max. Also," he turned to look at Angel, his voice coated with amazement "can she actually control minds?"
"Not only that! She can also read minds, bre-mmf!" Nudge, who couldn't stand not talking for so long, was silenced by a hand to the mouth by Iggy.
"What?!" The family was staring at us, jaws dropping.
"Oops… it seems we forgot to mention that small part…" Iggy whistled.
Haha! I just couldn't stop myself from adding that last part.
Anyway, please help me guys!
