Chapter 11
Alice's POV
I was on edge all day, since I left Bella at home, when I left this morning I was positive that everything would be fine, Edward was more than capable of looking after an eight year old girl.
Around 3:00 I started to get this feeling, don't ask me what It was, not exactly a vision, but a feeling that something was wrong. As I tried to expel this feeling by hunting more, but nothing helped and I knew that I needed to get home as fast as possible.
Jasper was the problem, he was still not done hunting, I understood the need to hunt, but this was getting ridiculous. I sat on the stone opposite where Jasper was finishing another Deer off, getting more agitated by the second.
"What's a matter darling, your feeling on edge and frustrated?" Jasper said through his last gulps of the deer. When he finished he ran to my side.
"I have this bad feeling about Bella and I want to go home and check on her." I said hopefully this would convince him to hurry up, so we could get home and put my fears at rest.
"Weren't you the one that suggested this hunting trip, to give Bella and Edward some bonding time, which according to you they need, but you still won't tell me the reason why they need to bond?" I still hadn't told anyone about my vision and it was getting harder keeping it from Edward, especially when he and Bella were together. I didn't want to tell anyone else because if my vision reached Rosalie, she would quite literally kill Edward and forbid of him ever talking or setting eyes on Bella again.
"I know but the feeling that something has happened or is going to happen." I stopped my ranting and decided to do the one thing to stop my fear and look in to the future.
What I saw was my biggest fear realized. Bella had fallen down the stairs and she had hit her head on the stairs and was bleeding, but this wasn't my big fear it was what Edward did when he saw and smelt Bella's blood, he crouched down like he was hunting and dived for Bella.
I gasped as I jumped out of the vision and into the present and looked at Jasper fear filling my eyes.
"What has happened?" Jasper asked frantically, it took a moment to find my speech and paralyzed by my fear for Bella's safety.
"What the hell is he doing?" I finally managed to get out.
"Who?" Jasper asked fear coating his own voice now.
"Edward, he's attacking Bella." I choked out; the words seemed more real now I had spoken them out loud. I finally sprung in to action, I could have been too late, but that wouldn't stop me trying to stop Edward making the worst mistake of his life.
"What happened?" Jasper was finally able to say.
"Bella fell down the stairs, hitting her head on the stairs, drawing blood, Edward being overwhelmed by the blood attacked Bella." Jasper went in to a stunned silence for a moment.
"What can I do?" He finally spoke.
"There is nothing you can do, there's going to be too much blood for you to handle and I can't be worrying about you, as well as dealing with Edward." It looked like he was about to argue but listened to by reasoning and nodded, he knew that he wouldn't be able to control himself around blood. "But could you ring Carlisle, Bella's going to need a doctor." Jasper nodded and went to get his phone out of his pocket.
I also needed reinforcements, I could tell Edward wasn't going to respond to basic reasoning, I needed strength on my side, more than I could provide. The only person who could restrain Edward would be Emmett, but the problem would be Rosalie, knowing that Edward attacked Bella she would be out to kill him and that would start a whole other bunch of problems. Deciding Bella's safety was more important, anyway Edward could protect himself, not that he deserved it and I was close of killing him myself.
I got my phone and dialled Emmett's number, while I started to run to the direction of our house.
"Hey Alice what's a matter?" Emmett asked in his cool detached voice as usual.
"I need your help, Bella has had an accident." I said quickly down the phone.
"What's happened?" Emmett said distress clear in his voice now.
"Edward's attacked her, I need your help restraining him, and he's not himself." I whispered now, there was silence on the phone now. "Emmett did you hear me." I asked.
"Yeah I heard you; I'll be there as quick as I can." Emmett said he was upset and his usual joking tone was completely gone.
"Help him; I'll bloody kill the son of a bitch." I heard Rosalie shout in the background, I groaned that's all I needed.
"Rose let me handle this." Emmett said to Rosalie, which was surprising Emmett usually distanced himself as far away from intense situations like this one. "I'll see you soon Alice." Emmett said hanging up on me.
It took me around fifteen minutes to run back, preying I wasn't to late and wondering what would happen if I was too late. Would Edward have completely drained Bella, I cringed at the thought. Even if Edward had killed her I knew that he would hate himself and never forgive himself for attacking Bella, not that he should. The problem would be that none of the family would forgive him either for killing our youngest family member. We would pretend we don't ate him and act like we forgive him, except Rosalie of course, but in our hearts we never would, even though technically speaking it's not really Edwards fault and none of us could hate him more than he would himself.
What if I grabbed Edward after he bit Bella but didn't drain her and the venom was given chance to spread through her body? Truth be told I have had visions of Bella as a vampire as well and she didn't seem unhappy by the situation, actually she seemed to love it, but this was when she was older, but Bella at eight years old she wouldn't be able to handle it, I have heard the stories about the babies who were turned in to vampires and let's just say that it never turned out very good, leading to all babies to be destroyed and all vampires who were associated with them. Would Bella be the same and would we have to kill our sister ourselves. I drove the thought out of my head and concentrated on getting to Edward on time.
When I got to the house, Edward was in the exact position I had seen him in, he was just about to bite Bella before I could feel any kind of relief, I charged at Edward and was able to push him out of Bella's way.
Edward unfortunately recovered quickly and made another attempt of getting to Bella, I grabbed Edward and pushed against the wall again, Edward growled furiously at me his teeth were visible, but his eyes never been taken of Bella's blood. I recoiled at the look Edward gave Bella there was true hatred there and Edward looked like the monster he insisted he was.
I heard Bella whimper from behind me but I was unwilling to take my eyes of Edward, ready for any move he made. Edward once again made another attempt at Bella and this time I was to slow, as Edward went for Bella there was another blur and Emmett was there restraining Edward, as Edward wrestled in Emmett's arms. Rosalie was at Bella's side, comforting a very confused Bella. I helped Emmett push Edward outside, in to fresh air; we decided to get him a few miles from the house where he was no longer able to smell Bella.
We pushed Edward down and guarded him until he got his senses. Edward was still growling and baring his teeth but no longer tried to push past us. I waited patiently for Edward to calm down before I tried to speak to him. Edward's eyes were pitch black and I realized that there was no getting through to him, while he was still thirsty. Emmett realized this as well.
"He needs to feed; I'll go and get him an animal." Emmett said before running through the forest. I kept my position, arms folded and looking at Edward, I still couldn't believe that he did this. Edward had stopped growling and was looking at his feet, he was slowly coming around. Emmett returned with a rabbit for Edward, who drained it in seconds on questions. He looked up at us when he was done and it was complete pain and regret in his eyes and it hurt to see that, but I was unwilling to let it go so fast.
"What the hell were you thinking?" I finally was able to say, I was in complete shock.
"I wasn't thinking isn't that clear." His voice was cold and hard but the pain was evident.
"You attacked your own sister." Emmett said harshly, again a tone I wasn't used to. And your future mate, I added mentally but suddenly realized what I thought, shit how could I think that in front of Edward. I looked at Edward who was still avoiding our eyes; he must be too lost in his own thoughts to listen to carefully at my thoughts.
Edward's POV
Alice had asked me what I was thinking and I answered truthfully I wasn't thinking I was acting. I was acting on my predatory needs and the monster I had worked for Decades to silence and just like that he had taken over and forced me to attack my own sister, it was beyond evil and in that moment I truly became the monster I hated and feared but always knew I was. Was there any coming back from that moment? Would Bella ever forgive me, that must be a no, why would forgive me?
"I'm sorry." I whispered I knew that would be no good, it was such a small word, never mind how much I repeated it wouldn't help anything. Sorry is that all you're going to say. Alice thought.
"Of course not but what else can I say, I did something unforgivable." I whispered but still didn't look either Emmett or Alice in the eyes.
Damn straight it's unforgivable. I cringed at Rosalie's thoughts as she approached us. She finally appeared and came to stand next to Emmett she looked close to killing me and I didn't blame her if she did.
"How's Bella?" Alice asked Rosalie.
"Shook up, she keeps repeating that she was sorry and didn't mean to make Edward angry." Rosalie scowled at me and I flinched, Bella was blaming herself. "Carlisle and Esme are taking care of her now."
"I don't know what happened." I tried to explain myself but how do you explain something like this. "It was like it wasn't me anymore that something had taken over me. I didn't mean to attack Bella, but the moment I smelt her blood, couldn't control myself anymore." A small explanation, but the only way I could think to explain my actions.
Mistakes happen, sometimes you can't control yourself. Emmett thought, it sounded like Emmett was already forgiving me. Still how could he attack Bella? I buried my head in to my hands again.
"I know there was nothing that I can say to forgive me, but it won't stop me trying to make amends." I tried to apologize again. "None of you could hate me as much as I hate myself."
"Want to bet." Rosalie snarled at me and crouched down just waiting for the moment to spring at me. I braced myself for her attack. "You attacked my daughter." Rosalie snarled at me again nastily. Even though Bella saw Esme as her mother, Rosalie still treated Bella as her daughter and loved her if she was her biological daughter.
"Rose calm down." Emmett said putting his hand on her shoulder. I was thankful for Emmett's help. Something me though that this wasn't for my own sake. "Imagine how Bella will feel If you hurt Edward." Rosalie started to calm down after Emmett's words.
What are we going to now? I heard Carlisle think as he approached us. How will we keep Bella safe? The thought that Bella needed to be protected from me, sickened me even more.
"Carlisle is coming." I said a couple of minutes later Carlisle joined us. I couldn't look my father in the eyes knowing what look he'd give me in return.
"Bella is fine shaken, but her head needed stitches but she'll be fine." Carlisle said putting everyone's mind at rest except mine, what was going to stop me from attacking her again, was there anyway to keep Bella safe from me.
"I'm going to check up on Bella, take her for ice cream, and keep her away from this intense moment." Emmett said breaking the silence, what he really meant to say was to keep Bella away from me. "Rosalie do you want to come with me." Emmett asked but Rosalie just kept staring at me.
"No, you take her though, I better stay here." Rosalie said knowing that this talk was significant and she wanted to put her point across. Emmett nodded and ran towards the house.
