Chap 10
Edward's POV
Bella was stationed on the top of a rock, far away from where any fighting would be going on. Alice said they would come into the clearing in ten minutes. Emmett was euphoric, he'd been deprived of fights for a long time.
"Edward?" I looked up to Bella who had her good leg bent so she could rest her chin on it. Her perfect brown eyes were filled with worry, and I knew the next words before they came out of her mouth, "Remember the promise." I nooded, and tore my eyes from her. I heard snarls, and five wolves entered the clearing.
Bella's POV
FIVE WOLVES? FIVE? I recognized the brown one, James, and the red-ish one, Mark. The other one I knew was Luke, the sandy colored one in the back of the group. I swiched to being invisible, and pushed a thought into his head.
Kick his ass.
I will.
Good. I love you.
I love you too. More than you know.
He dropped into a hunting crouch, and sprung at James. I didn't watch, I looked at the other wolves, who each began to battle a different vampire. I sent pain waves at the wolf Alice was fighting, the smallest, Luke. He dropped, and Alice thought, Thanks Bella!
Emmett, Rosealie, and Jasper all looked pretty good, so I decided to peak at Edward. I saw a flash of James' paw, and A good as Edward was, he slammed into a tree. I sent pain to James, and remembered one of my most recently aquired talents. Shape shifting. I quickly unstrapped the walking cast, and transformed into a wolf, and as I did, I became visible. I bolted towards James, and I rammed him into a the side of the cliff.
BELLA SWAN! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? WHERE IS YOUR CAST?
I took it off.
WHY?
I didn't answer, because a big brown paw had landed on my chest, and was pushing me against the ground, hard. I tried to turn invisible or throw him off of me, but my powers wouldn't work. I quickly changed back. Damn it, I'm naked! I turned invisble, repelling him at the same time. Edward shoved a shirt at me, and I took it.
"Thanks"
It was big on me, hanging to my mid thigh. I decided it was Emmett's, and I looked over, he was shirtless. I simmered back into visibility, and was caught again by James charging at me. I picked him up, and held him over the forest, and dropped him.
"Nice." Edward complimented.
"Thanks. Which one next?"
"Emmett's." He answered, and I did it, just to annoy him. My leg was aching, and I hobbled over to Edward, leaning on him for support. I towed the black wolf, Andy, off the ground and threw him into the forest. One by one, I threw them into the forest, sending them pain when they tried to resist.
Alice ran over to me, giving me a high five. "wow Bella! That was great, except for that move where you turned into a wolf."
Rose was sitting mext to a shred of fabric, "Bella! Do you realize these were Juicy?"
"Sorry Rose…" She glared. "I'll buy you new ones."
When we were back at the house, we decided that we wouldn't be able to go anywhere, because there were wolves running the perimeter, right outside my telekinesis range.
"Edward. I'm not worth it. He either wants you dead, or me with him. I won't have you dead, so We just put up the white flag and I go with them."
He growled, "Bella, of all the times I've told you that I love you…" He shook his head.
"I'll go with them, and then you could figure something out, and save me in a week or two, we need more prep time, and that's what that buys you."
"Bell-"
"It's a good idea." Jasper chimed in, supporting me, from a millatary perspective.
"It's settled th-"
"No it's not. What if they hurt you Bella? What if they kill you?"
"If they hurt me, so what? And I won't let them kill me."
"Bella. I can't let you risk it." He insisted, I told everyone to leave through my thoughts.
"Edward. This could save you, and your family, I'll be fine." He sat down on the couch, and I kissed him. "Do you think I would let anything happen to myself?"
"No… but you could trip."
"Edward Cullen that is so not funny!" he chuckled.
"I won't let you go." I leaned into him as I informed the others of my new plan.
"I'm leaving Edward." I stood up and walked to the door.
"No." He attempted to get to me, but Emmett and Jasper appeared, and held him back.
"I'm sorry Edward, but I have to. Prepare for a week, then come and get me. I'll buy us the prep time we need, and then you can kick their asses. Just like I told you." He stared into my eyes, longing and pain almost completely hidden beneath the fury. "I'm sorry." I hurried outside with Alice. Rose closed the door behind us, and I heard Edwards enraged snarls come from behind me.
Calm. I pleaded him.
Bella! Don't do this. He'll kill you.
No. I'll try to tell you where I am… I'll talk to you soon.
He didn't respond.
"James?"
"Ahh Bella. Nice to see you've come to your senses."
"Alice, It's okay. Go." Tell Edward I love him. I said and thought to her.
"Bye Bella." She hugged me. "I'll miss you." Then she was gone.
