"My dearest! She has agreed" I said simply and Esme turned to me with her head held high like a Queen.
"What a naïve girl! Doesn't she realise love isn't real!" Esme cackled and I joined in feeling freedom and insanity. However I still felt a sting of pain at the mention of Bella...I really did love her and I'd never meant to be abusive of unloving; I'd lost everything because of my own actions and I had paid the price.
"Edward I'm thirsty! Go get a human...preferably a girl, I want to practice for Bella's grand finale!" she smiled evilly but I knew the pain behind a smile all to well. I obliged and went searching for a good human. A good girl.
6PM Friday
BPOV
I walked in through the house still thinking of every word Edward had said...after all he'd done to me somehow I still trusted and loved him-like a brother. Carlisle zoomed to my side with a heartbreakers smile and kissed my cheek like a gentlemen; Anna skipped my way and I froze feeling angry. How dare she plan to kill Carlisle! I would kill her tomorrow just like Edward advised! Alice and Jasper looked at me questioningly and I knew I would give something away if I didn't play nice with little Anna.
"Hey Anna!" I whispered gritting my teeth pretending it was my thirst, "what's up?" I said casually and Carlisle kissed my head. Anna began to ramble on but it sounded like a dystopian noise dragging on through my head, I looked towards Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, Alice, Todd and Carlisle; I couldn't let them be hurt by this little human not even if it hurt them if she died.
"Bella?" Anna asked worried and I shook my head and apologised for not listening, "I'm moving in!" she cheered and I stared wide-eyed in shock and everyone looked happy...apart from Jasper.
"That's-G-great!" I stuttered and Carlisle looked deeply worried, he sat me down gently and asked if my powers were draining me or if I felt strange, "No I'm just shocked" I laughed dryly and his eyes searched my soul-if I had one that is.
I though about what Edward had said and how it made sense but didn't. I looked into the lounge where everyone was sat watching a film...Rosalie and Emmett were sat in the loveseat, Todd leant on the arm of the sofa, Anna was asleep on the sofa next to him, Jasper sat on the floor whilst Alice played with his hair lovingly and Carlisle sat on his chair that he always occupied when he was in deep thought. I thought about what I was doing to them...would killing Anna affect the whole family?
1AM Saturday
BPOV
I had been restless and fidgety all night long and finally it was Saturday-the day Anna was going to die! Only 8 hours more till I meet Edward in Arizona, now how would I get Anna to Arizona? I kept thinking and conjuring up plans in my head when Carlisle hugged me form behind and I smiled.
"I love you" he said simply and I buckled under the weight of his emotions-I couldn't let him get hurt I just couldn't. It would kill me. I kissed his hand and with a wave of my hand my red magic floated out and levitated an old family photo that we took a couple of years back; the only time Edward and me didn't fight.
*FLASHBACK*
"haha Fuck!" Jasper chuckled as him and Emmett wrestled playfully, Esme shot him a glare for his language.
"Oooh Jasper! Ya kiss ya mother with that mouth?" Emmett mocked scolded and everyone chuckled slightly, Edward held me close and whispered sweet nothings into my useless human ears, he pretended to slow dance with me whilst Carlisle tried to get everyone to settle down. Rosalie began to moan about how muddy it was outside and how her new shoes would get dirty.
"I think its too late for that!" I giggled and Rosalie actually laughed with me...I felt a sense of clarity like I had been accepted by her. She winked at me-Alice was dancing and twirling around picking daisy's from near the house; Jasper took a break from wrestling and tackled her playfully for behind and they both went tumbling, giggling like fools.
"Bella!" she hollered and I happily went to her, "here pretty girl!" she grinned and slipped a daisy behind my ear so the flower showed. I hugged her tightly and everyone got into place for the photo. Emmett was on his knees at the front doing a silly pose showing off his muscles, Edward stood by Esme with his hands on her head pretending to read her thoughts and she smiled, Jasper stood in a karate stance looking ridiculous, Alice was looking up to the clouds with the daisy's in her hands and I was on Carlisle's back smiling giddily.
"Cheese!" everyone yelled and the camera made a small snap sound. I suddenly felt a jolt of pure love for this blonde haired man who was my boyfriends father...
1PM Saturday
BPOV
I had been thinking of that photo all day...when times were so much simpler and nothing was complicated. Everyone looked so happy and unfazed by anything and I missed that so much.
"Hey Anna!" I yelled and she jerked her head in my direction, "do you wanna come shopping in Arizona? just me and you? some sister bonding?" I asked slyly and Carlisle looked at me proudly and for some reason that cut me deeply like I was betraying him. Todd looked happy and nodded like an okay sign at Anna.
"I'd love to Bella!" she said happily and hugged me before realising I could be thirsty, "so what time we going?" she asked softly as if she thought she might annoy me. I told her we would got at 7pm and we'd would most likely arrive at 9. However I didn't tell her she would not be coming back...she would not see Todd again.
