Ch.11
Still Edward's POV 3
Edward, you have to speak to Luke about this. You know that if Bella is able to get her memory back, then she doesn't have to leave… Carlisle's voice repeated over and over in my head.
I sighed, staring at my sleeping beauty. Bella… I pinched the bridge of my nose. Why does all this have to be so hard?! A stirring beside me made me look back down.
"Edward…" She mumbled, blinking sleepily.
"I'm here love." I replied, smiling down at her.
"I don't wanna go to school…" She mumbled.
I chuckled, "Go use the bathroom Bella."
She nodded reluctantly, and got up. After 15 minutes, Bella was finally ready. Everyone was already in their cars. "Let's go Bella" I tapped my foot impatiently.
She swallowed her breakfast, slung her backpack over her shoulder and walked to me.
The minute we got out of the Volvo, someone called out to us.
"Hey Bella!" A familiar voice called.
I growled, Luke…
"Bella, go to class. I need to talk with Luke." I hissed lowly.
She seemed frightened, but nodded and hurried off. Once she was out of my sight, I whirled around and glared at my enemy.
"Is it true?" I asked.
Luke seemed curious. "Is what true?" Hmm, has he found out about my power?
"Yes, your power. Is your power able to bring back memories?" I asked, uncertainly.
"Look Eddie," He snarled. "It is, but don't expect me to go around bringing Bella's memory back. Unless…"
"Don't call me that!" I hissed at him. "And unless WHAT?!" I was getting aggravated.
"Look, I don't want to speak of this here. Your house, after school. Make SURE Isabella is not there." Luke said, backing away.
I sighed, defeated. "Fine…" I turned to walk away.
The rest of the school day was boring. At least my Bella was there to brighten the day. We chatted through biology and English. Math was the same. Gym was…unfortunate. At least this time, it was Mike Newton that got hurt. Although he did enjoy Bella's apologizing. At least the day was finally over. Can't relax yet, I told myself. Still that problem with Luke…
"Alice, can you keep Bella busy for a few hours?"
"Course! We can go SHOPPING!" The small pixie squealed.
I shook my head, smiling. What have I created?
We both spotted Bella walking across the parking lot at the same time.
"Bella!" Alice screamed. "Shopping time!"
For a short moment, fear crossed her features. She looked at me for help. Apparently, seeing she was going to receive no help from me. She glared at me, pouting. Sorry! I mouthed to her. Then blew her a quick kiss. That seemed to do the trick. A smile was plastered on her face in seconds. I love you She mouthed back. I love you too Bella, Always and forever. She smiled sweetly. Then was dragged away by Alice. I turned back to my car, slid into the drivers seat and drove back to the house.
Luke was already in the driveway, waiting. Spotting me, he waved cheerfully. I growled, set my mouth in a tight line and got out of the car.
"Inside" I said quickly.
He followed me in and sat on the couch. "What's the deal?" I said.
"Why don't we chat for a minute?" Luke mused.
"Just tell me!" I said forcefully.
He looked at me for a second, studying my face. Apparently seeing nothing he like or feared, he continued.
"Yes, I can return Bella's memory…but for a price…" Luke said thoughtfully.
"What price?" I said uncertainly.
"You have to…leave Bella…" He said finally.
I stood there in shock, then finally registering this new information, I jumped up.
"NEVER!" I thundered.
"Fine, then I can't return Bella's memory." Luke grinned evilly.
Something in me snapped. Everything turned red. I could see nothing but Luke sitting there. I leaped up, crouching, ready to attack at any moment.
Luke, sensing this, jumped up as well and crouched in a defensive position. "So this is how it's going to be?"
I snarled, jumping at him. I knocked him to the ground and sent a powerful blow to his stomach. Luke groaned in pain, but gathered enough strength to knock me back. Now I was the one on my back and he was on top. He took a quick swipe at me, tearing my skin.
"EDWARD!" A shrill scream made us both freeze. We slowly turned our heads toward the voice.
Bella stood there in the doorway, frozen with fear and shock. She snapped out of her daze, then seeing me hurt, her eyes filled with tears and she ran toward us both.
Luke sat on top of me, shocked. Bella, reaching us, flung herself on top of Luke and started punching away at him. Seeing this, I started to laugh, and laugh. A grown vampire, defensive against a human girl. Luke's thoughts turned angry. Damn girl! I'm going to…
Before I could finish reading his thoughts, he flung Bella off of him. She slammed against the wall and slumped to the floor.
"BELLA!" I screamed. I lunged at Luke, clawing at him wildly. He leaped on top of me, knocking me down. He punch me with such force, it left me breathless for a moment. Regaining strength, I pushed him back. Before I could deliver another blow, he rolled out of the way. Suddenly he appeared behind me and flung me to the ground.
Bella's POV
"Edward…" I mumbled, before I slipped into the darkness.
Everything was so…peaceful…
"BELLA!" I heard a shout. It sounded so…far away…so familiar…it sounded like…my angel…
I reached up, tried to grasp the voice, tried to find who it belonged to, but I couldn't. The darkness kept pulling me back. I struggled against it, fighting to keep it away.
Light entered at last. I gasped at the images that entered. Memories flooded back, memories of Renee…memories of Charlie, the Cullen family… Edward… vampire… Jacob… werewolf… Victoria…James…Laurent…
My eyes snapped open. "Edward…" I muttered. My eyes searched around, looking for Edward. Spotting him at last, my heart soared with joy. I gasped, finally taking in the scene before me. Edward, lying there, with Luke on top, about to strike.
"EDWARD!" I cried, running to him. "GET OFF LUKE!"
"No!" He snarled.
"Get off" A quiet, but angry voice interrupted. Every head turned.
Carlisle and the rest of the Cullen family was standing in the doorway. Every mouth was open, staring at the scene before them in shock. Only Carlisle and Alice remained calm.
"Go Luke." Carlisle said quietly.
"NO!" He snarled back in response.
At once, all the Cullens rushed toward Luke, ripped in off Edward and threw him out the door. "Emmett, you know what to do" Carlisle said calmly.
I stared at them, wide eyed. "Sorry Bella" Alice chirped. "I guess it's time to tell you…again."
"I think…I think I remember Alice." I said quietly. "I remember…everything."
Her eyes lit up, "EDWARD!! Bella remembers!"
I looked up, searched for Edward and found him sitting on the rug, with Carlisle checking his wounds.
"Edward…" I breathed.
He looked at me, smiling brilliantly. I love you my Bella
I smiled back, "I love you too Edward…"
"C'mon Bella. You need rest. It's been a long day. Edward will be here tomorrow." Esme said, smiling gently down at me.
I nodded reluctantly. I was glad all this was behind me.
***
I laid in bed, thinking of all thats happened.
"Bella?" A gentle voice called out. I looked up and saw my beautiful angel smiling back at me. I blushed furiously.
"Edward? I-I…love you." I said, feeling very shy.
"I love you too Bella."
"Do we…do we still need to go with the Volturi?"
"Not anymore love, but we do need to change you…soon." Edward's face seemed doubtful.
"Edward, I will never regret the day you change me. I will love you forever, I will NEVER hate you."
His face seemed to soften up. "You do not know how I love you Isabella."
I smiled up at him. He crossed the room and carried me to the couch. I sat in his lap.
It'll be like this for forever once I change…
"I love you Edward."
"I love you as well Isabella…"
