Chapter 10: Now we stand

Bella Pov

Tell me it isn't true. Tell me that the sight before my eyes is just some sick picture that my mind has conjured up.

Before my eyes, the rest of my family stood, but surrounded by guards. Aro has his filthy disgusting hand around Rose's neck. The rest I could tell were held back by fear of hurting Rose.

Jasper regained his strength and growled loudly taking a step forward Alice not far behind. But I was starring straight at my love. Even though he was not even facing me. Aro turned his head and grinned.

"Well. Well. Well. It's so nice to see the rest of you join us. Bella! Glad to see that you are awake." Edward snapped his head up and starred right into my eyes. My lips crept up into a smile. Aro dropped Rose and Emmett caught her protectively shielding her behind his back. "It really is nice to have you all here. Now come we have some matters to discuss." Aro waved and the guard closed in on the Cullen's.

There was nothing Alice, Jasper nor I could do to help. Aro walked up to us and set his hands on Alice and I's shoulders.

Edward and Jasper immediately growled, sending Aro into hysterical laughter. "Oh, you don't like me touching your girls, do you?" Aro smirked. "Have them. It's easier to keep you all together this way." Aro shoved Alice and I towards the rest of the Cullen's, Jasper quickly following behind us.

The guards parted for us and we stumbled through. I fell at Rose's feet, Alice falling straight onto me. Jasper hauled Alice up, and Edward didn't waist a second to pull me back into his arms where I belong. He engulfed me into a hug that surely would have killed me if I was a human.

"Bella…oh my Bella." Edward mumbled into my hair. "Look what they have done to you. I'm sorry, so sorry." Hold it. Edward must have felt me go ridged because he stepped away, pain evident on his angel face.

I looked at him with the hardest eyes I could manage, trying to ignore that annoying burning in the back of my throat. "Edward I have no idea whey you are sorry. I made my choice that day, so you and Emmett could stay with our family. But now I got to do something that I've been wanting to do for a long time now." I took a step forward closing the space between us, and raised my hand.

I launched myself at Edward and crashed my lips hungrily against his. My raised hand tangled in his hair. There was no hesitation in his movements. His arms snaked around my waist, pulling me closer to his chest. Edward pulled back and rested his forehead against mine. Both of us breathing heavy even though there really was no need. I wanted more.

I would so get more.

Here we stand

Holding our hands

Watching the falling stars

Soar across this very sky

Where I stand hand in hand with you

We dream together

Reaching for hope and security

Your life wasn't all that great

But neither was mine

But we complete each other

No matter the consequences

So let's forget the past

And fight for our lives

Since that is what we truly want

Memories are flying

Dreams coming true

When your search has finally finished

You told me to keep still

So I have till this day

When you came streaking across

This very sky

My vision holds you still

The picture of you

Full of love and happiness

So now we stand

Forever hand in hand

A/N I know very bad chapter but I have bad writer's block. I tried writing you more for 3 class periods but nothing came to mind. Not my favorite chapter, but the story is almost done, then I will be focusing on my other story. The poem up above is my own that i wrote when i was having writer's block and i guess it sort of is part of the story. So it is mine! All mine!
