Chapter 11 – The Truth
I was at Edward's home when it happened. One minute, Edward, Alice, and I were laughing. The next, Mick came crashing through the window – and he looked furious. He came and started yelling at me the second he was up. " You missed your deadline! Is it that hard to just set him on fire?!?"
Edward got quiet and whispered, " What?" I paid him no attention, though, as I proceeded to yell back, " What? Couldn't do your revenge work yourself?!? I found out why you want him dead, and it's not because he's a bad vampire. You're just pissed off!"
Mick pulled his hand back and slapped my face, hard. I could feel a distinct crack of my nose, and the blow was hard enough to send me flying. Edward stood and started yelling, " Don't you touch her! And get out of my house!" The rest of the Cullens came racing downstairs to see what was going on. I put my hand to my head, and Mick must have noticed the glimmer of the engagement ring.
" Oh, I see Bella. You love him. I thought you loved me, and I know you loved me a few months ago." Edward looked at me and asked, " What's going on?" I buried my face in my hands, pulling myself up from the floor. Mick smiled deviously as he encouraged, " Come on Bella. Tell him what's going on."
I looked up at Edward's hurt expression. I looked back down and said, " I didn't live with a coven in Russia. I was saved by Mick from being eaten by the Voulturri. I've lived there for the past two years. Aro decided I needed to pull my own weight, so he assigned Mick to give me an assignment. Mick sent me here to kill you. But, the more I got to know you, the more I forgot why I was here in the first place. I decided that I wasn't going to, and that I wanted to live the rest of forever with you."
I snuck a peak at Edward, and he looked even more hurt, if that was even possible. Mick took this moment of weakness to attack. " Nooooo!!!" I charged Mick, but he threw me off, and I ended up in a corner of the room, unable to stand back up. The rest of the Cullens took their positions and I covered my eyes. I don't know how long it took, but he was in pieces when I thought it was safe to look up. Edward took the pieces outside and started a fire. When he came back in, he scooped me up and handed me to Carlisle.
" Make her better." I looked at Edward, but my vision blurred as the tears started flowing. " Edward" He cut me off with, " I need some time Bella." After that statement he ran out the door and into the woods.
Cliff hanger. I didn't even notice I'd done that. REVIEW, or you won't find out what happens.
