I sat in a chair beside her bed listening to her cries of pain happy that it was almost over and that we would be leaving to Italy soon. I wanted to do anything to make it stop but Bella didn't want that. Her thoughts flashed back and forth, from orders to pleas. I sighed at the last request. She didn't want me to touch her she said it would only cause pain to me. But to me it was painful not to touch her.
"Edward you have to hunt Esme and I will watch her. Don't worry." She said gently as she came into view of the doorway. 'Go Edward, now.' Bella thoughts floated to me after a second right before she screamed. I flinched.
"Fine, but you better not leave this spot Alice." I rose and pointed to the chair. She rolled her eyes at me and sat before I left.
I had just taken down a mountain lion when it began to rain, lightening erupted in the sky and touched the ground in the direction of the house. I frowned deeply and turned to leave.
I burst through the trees to find the grass around our house burnt, small kindles of fire were scattered around. I hurried up the stairs but everything was quiet save for the raging thoughts that came from Bella's room, so that's where I went.
Bella was sitting up in her bed her hair in a ponytail but what made me stop in my tracks was her inhuman beauty. I stared her as she looked up at me with her brown eyes that were slightly…red.
"Bella…" I trailed off confused.
"Hi Edward." she said with a hesitant smile on her face. I looked at her confused.
"What happened, you look like a vampire." I stated taking a step towards her.
"I think we should leave I can't explain anything here, when we get to Italy then I can. Right now isn't the place especially since he can explain better than I can." She said not looking at me. I sighed and nodded.
It was quiet for a moment.
"Edward can I talk to you in private?" Carlisle's voice broke it first. I nodded and we left to his study.
I sat in a chair in front of his desk while he sat on the side of his desk his arms crossed.
"I took some of Bella's blood when her car exploded and then again today before she woke up. I'm waiting for the results now." he said.
"Why?" I asked looking up at him from the floor.
"Because I don't think Bella is human." He said simply but the thought made me shake my head. "She has to be human what else can she be?" I asked with conviction in my voice.
"Well, son, I'm having doubts. She has power that rivals the Volturi and from what Rosalie told me of her fight with Lauren she is also rather volatile for a human." He said thoughtful.
"Did you see the picture she painted in art?" Rosalie asked coming in with it, Emmett in tow. I growled lowly. "It's no wonder she didn't rip her apart." She said again lifting it up for all to see.
Carlisle breathed in sharply and I couldn't look at it again. "I see." That was all he had to say.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" Bella's hard voice perforated the air and we turned to her. She was leaning against the door frame looking at us lazily. "That's the worst part of it all, its beauty. A true work of art, I was only seven then, I was playing in the garden when she came, I thought it was Ren because they have the same body type but when a sac went over my head I knew something was wrong. She kept me there for what seemed like months until my uncle himself kicked the door down. From then on I was never left alone outside and I was taught martial arts." She described with a dazed look in her eyes.
"Bella, your safe now." Carlisle said but she shook her head and looked him in his eyes.
"When she's died then and only then will I be safe." She looked at her watch. "We need to leave in a few. If we want to catch the plane, Alice packed my clothes." She said and left the room. We all looked at each other.
"Something is eating at her." I said gently. They nodded and Rose and Emmett left the room.
