Chapter 10

Edward's POV

I hate him.

He dares to be with my Bella, to kiss my Bella, to hug her, while I must watch everything from the corner? He would often look in my direction and give me a hateful look, together with a devilish smirk, and then his attetnion would return to the lovely human next to him.

My Bella.

She was smiling so brightly, her teeth flashing like pearls in the neon light in the cafeteria. Although she has cut her hair, she still looked like a goddess.

A goddess which was in the arms of a man- a vampire with a blood-stained, disgusting past, filled with killing, feeding and sex. Sometimes I would feel sorry for Alice- she was living and sharing her life with a monster. But, the little pixie was too blinded with the love she felt for this creature.

I was staring longingly at my Bella, her black hair was now half way down her back. It has grown rapidly fast for a human. The color intensfied, which I found strange. Wasn't it supposed to fade away? But everything in the connection with her was strange. Her big, warm chocolate eyes were shining, as she lifted her love inducted gaze to meet his eyes. Her smile widened, and I could see the love and adoration radiating from her. Love directed to a vampire, empath..

Empath.

That's it! He was manipulating her; producing the emotions he wanted and made her feel all the love and adoration. I grinned instantly; that means I still had a chance to win her back. But, on ehtought was still in my mind. If I get her back-when I get her back, she'll still want to become a vampire. My family has wondered why I refused to grant her wish. Simple.

I didn't want to lose her warmth, herwarm, thick blood flowing through her veins, into her fast thumping heart. Her heart-beat, her warmth, her smell. I didn't want that beautiful brown eyes to change into a furious red. That thought disgusted me imensely.

But most importantly, I didn't want to lose the control I had over her. As vampires, we had a extra gift; the gift of persuasion, simply told to 'dazzle' someone. I would use it to prevent Bella from becoming a cold one.

Suddenly, Bella's head shot to me and a gave her a cooked grin, the one that made her heartbeat skip a beat. But this time, her heart was steady and her nose wrinkeld in disgust. Wait, disgust?

I slowly rose from my chair and made my ay toward her. Jasper stiffed as Bella glared at me. She looked ready to kill me, although she was still human, I was slightly scared.

„What do you want, Edward?" I heard Bella's beautiful voice, although laced with a hint o boredom.

„I want to talk to you." Her brow raised in confusion, but she stood up, whispering something to Jasper I couldn't hear. She stood her, in her perfection, with arms crossed over her chest.

„Privately." I added. She sighed and followed me outside. When we were out of hearing range, I turned to face her.

„So?" she prompted me.

„Bella, Love, Jasper's not good for you. Didn't you saw that he's feedin of humans again? Don't you know how dissapointed we are?" I said, adding a slight angry tone at the end of the sentence. She just shrugged,

„I know Edward." I was confused,

„You mean, you aren't feeling uncomfortbale with him?"

„Why should I? He's my mate, after all." She stated simply. I was getting angrier by every second that passed. The tension built between us continued to grow, and I wanted so badly for her to realize the truth.

„Bella, he's most likely manipulating you. He's projecting his emotions, and you think they're yours. He just wants you for himself, and his most likely going to drain you in the end, when you bore him. I wouldn't do that; I would love you the rest of eternity, always stay by your side, we could fight every obstacle we should face. You need to realize that I'm better than him; in every way possible. He has a awful past Bella. Full of blood, killing and sex. How do you manage to stay with him? How do you manage to look at him, watch his scars, a sign of all the sins he has done in his first years as a vampire?" I rambled, until I finally silenced as I saw her enraged face. Her warm eyes turned cold as ice, ripping my heart.

„Look who's saying. A vampire that dazzled me into being grateful for everything he's done, for the pain he caused. You were the one who welcomed me into your world. You were the one who left me, shattering my heart like it's made of glass; I gave you my heart Edward. You played with it like it was a toy with no value, that you can easily throw away when you grow tired of it. When you grow tired of being someting you aren't. „ she finished as she sneered the words I told her in the woods. I winced, but she continued,

„As for Jasper, he isn't manipulating me because he can't even feel me, you idiot. I'm a shield, remember? He loves me, I love him. Simple. I don't know what I have ever seen in you, Edward. I was probably fascinated by your beauty, your eyes, hell I was even interested why the hell is your hair such a strange color. But as the time passed by, I started realizing that you wasn't good for me, that you really needed to stay away from me. But you managed to dazzle me, to make me think I love you. It's all your fault. It's your fault I've felt so worthless. Your fault I have lost my friends, because I was too busy sulking over he fact that I was just a toy, a pet. You ruined me Edward. And you will pay for it, remembe my words." She finished and turned to leave,

„I love you." I shouted desperately after her. She stopped and turned with pity in her eyes.

„No, you don't. You are just obssessed with my scent and my blood, with my humanity. But I'm tired of being ordinary, and I'll have it the way I want." Then she left. I was growing angrier.

How dare she? How dare she disobey me?

I growled loudly and punched the wall, until it cracked under the pressure of my hit.

I ran to my house. I needed to think out a plan for saving Bella from the claws of Satan's son, Jasper Whitlock. She needs to be pure again, and not possessed. She'll be mine again, and she'll stay a human, after I explain her the consenquences of becoming a immortal. With the helpof Carlisle, she'll most likely be the same sweet Bella I knew before I left.

I raced home, only to find it empty. Still, I could hear a vampire upstairs and dashed into my room. On the black leather sofa was Alice, smiling knowingly and watching me.

„What do you want Alice?"

„Oh, Edward. I know how frustrated you are. I just thought I have something that could help."

„Oh, really?" I asked her doubtfully. She smirked.

„Of course. Seer, remember? Anyway. I know a way how to ger our mates back." With these words, my whole universe lightend up and I leaned in eagerly, soaking in every word.

Unknown POV

I held the phone close to my ear, listening intently to the bubbly voice on the other side. Appereantly, she had prolems and needed my help. I wasn't very enthusiastic with her way of thinking; she was on a great risk to die. But after all, who am I to judge risk and risky plans? It's her funeral after all.

After a few minutes of exhausting talk, I finally agreed to help this girl. Then I stepped outside to see how're my preparations working. I smiled pleased; everything was alright.

I looked up at the sky, enjoying the wamr sun, realizing I had only a few weeks left.

Author's Note: Hello, my dears. This is chapter 10. It's short, I know, but I was just too depressed to actually ge myself into the story.
