Suspicions
I suddenly felt self-conscious on my attire I was currently wearing. Pretty much naked with burnt clothes lightly covering my body, my stomach clenched. It felt like the front of my head was a balloon; I suddenly bit my lip and wrapped my pale arms around myself. I never felt such embarrassment, insecurity, and uneasiness in a long time. I really never had the need to feel this way, I was alone; but now Edward was here.
I could tell, he sensed my discomfited-ness; he shifted a little bit. I was a slightly confused on his actions, and then he pulled off his shirt. If I were human I would be red as a ruby. He handed the slightly torn shirt to me; I took it and lifted it over my head and on my exposed body. I was just so temped to see his chest, but I knew if I looked I would succumb to the bewildering gape just waiting to come out.
Of course curiosity killed the cat.
He chuckled darkly to the expression on my face, and pulled me closer, he hugged my head to his neck and upper chest, and I made the mistake of inhaling his euphoric and toxic smell of his. We were now the same temperature, so I didn't expect to feel him, warm. He felt as if we were both human, soft skin, even though we both knew we were impenetrable. This is what I imagined being like with Edward, normal. That it felt normal to be together, I didn't expect that we would also feel normal in the human sense.
"Bella?" I was taken by surprise when Edward took me out of my reverie.
"Yes?" I tried to make my voice soft, to make it sound peaceful with our surroundings and current situation.
"Will…will you come back with me to visit the family?" he seemed extremely hopeful, like he was expecting me to say no. I wondered where this expeditious uneasiness came from, was it that he thought we weren't together yet? Or was it that not but a few days ago that I wanted to kill myself? Whatever it was I already knew the answer.
"Of course Edward, in fact if I ask Alice to be here right now she'll be here any minute, knowing that she sees the future and all." I joked, hoping he'll see my humor.
"Well, Bella…I haven't seen them either, for 15 years." Edward said sorrowfully, although there was a hidden feeling there…regret? No. Nervousness? No. Something stronger than those…Fear? Yes, that was behind those eyes. He was afraid of seeing his family again. But why? I had my suspicions, the family was furious that Edward left again; this seemed a little more than just fear, more like impending doom. Edward said the Volturi threatened him, only now I knew he was telling the truth. They way his eyes never left mine, his hands didn't move, feet fully forward; yes, now I truly see that now.
Wait a minute, if the Volturi wanted to keep Edward away from me, and during the duration of his departure I haven't seen a hint of Volturi. No visits, and also no evidence of their presents. But why would they wont me alone? And if so wouldn't they have approached me? I see now that my transformation was…different. Could they have noticed the venom residing in my hand when we visited them? Hmmm…Oh God…
"Edward we need to leave NOW!"
