I rolled over in bed for what seemed like the millionth time that night.
"Bella, love, you must sleep," Edward crooned, "You need rest." I sat up.
"I can't. Not when I know they're coming. I don't even know why they're coming. Why is this happening?" I groaned. Edward's face twisted in pain. "Oh no Edw-"
"You're right. If I would have just-" but his voice broke. I pulled him tightly to me and tried to take a deep breath. He stroked my hair softly. I shook with fear at what might happen. If we refused the Voultri they would get violent. They might hurt Alice or Esme or anyone in my newly acquired family.
And then there was Edward. My Edward. I couldn't-wouldn't live without him. I was much too selfish. I would have to offer myself to the Voultri. Edward suddenly growled. I flinched. He must have seen a vision from Alice.
"No, Bella," he stated. "I won't allow it. Everything is fine. You will not leave me. Ever," He spoke with fierce conviction.
Tears started to pool in my eyes. "No! It's not okay! I have to be able to do something. I want to help. This is all because of me. I don't want anyone to get hurt and if-if you-you d-i," I could get the words out. My body was racked with sobs.
Edward pulled me onto his lap. "Oh, Bella, honey. Shh Shh. You're safe and I'm safe. We're all okay and we will all be okay. Please, love, trust me."
"I-I c-can't. I don't want them to come. I'm scared."
"What is wrong, Bella?" Edward asked, suddenly overly concerned.
"I have a bad feeling and it's more than what I should have," I tried to explain. Edward kissed my forehead.
"Bella, look at me," he ordered. I looked down. He took hold of my chin so I had no choice but to look him in the eye. "We are all okay. I will keep you safe and you are staying here…with me." His eyes burned with the passion of his words. My forehead crumpled in pain at the thought of never seeing those eyes again. I grabbed the back of his shirt and pulled him towards me. His lips met mine with a frantic craze. I wrapped my hands around his neck tightly and he pulled me closer by putting both of his hands on my waist. His hands traveled back and forth on my back. I shivered with pleasure. He pulled away, breathing hard. I whined like a baby. He smiled despite himself and pulled me into a hug.
He lay down with me on top of him. I sighed as I snuggled closer to him. "I love you, Bella…with all my heart and more," Edward declared.
"I love you too, Edward," I replied, kissing his chest. Then I fell into an uneasy sleep.
.: :.
I woke with a start, breathing hard. I looked around the room frantically. "Bella?" a bell-like voice asked.
My head whipped around to the sound to see Alice sitting on Edward's leather couch.
"Hi, Alice," I said quietly. "Where's Edward?" I asked, suddenly panicked. My moods had been so erratic lately.
"Relax, Bella. He just went hunting," She saw my expression and edited, "It's just a precaution." I sighed with slight relief and got out of bed.
"I already have you're clothes laid out," Alice said, walking out of the room. That's right. Alice was walking. Not dancing. Something else had happened. I got dressed quickly and headed downstairs. Nobody was downstairs. I started to panic again, but then I heard voices. I headed towards the front door and opened it to see everyone, even Edward fighting and yelling. They were all talking too fast for me to get every word, but I got the gist of their fight.
Some people wanted me to stay human others wanted me to become a vampire. Some wanted to fight and others wanted to negotiate. I winced as Emmett's booming voice echoed. Edward turned his head suddenly to look at me. His face was scrunched up in pain. He glided over to me and swept me into a hug. He then took me upstairs to his-our room.
"I'm sorry you had to see that," he said, hoarsely. He ran a hand through his untidy hair.
"What's happening?" I asked, softly, looking at the ground. Edward sighed and cursed.
"I-Bella-Alice sees-they're bringing someone else with them. Someone who has a power that we've never heard of."
"What kind of power," I asked, my voice trembling. Edward kneeled down in front of me and took hold of both my hands.
"He can tell what future vampire's powers are going to be."
I tasted that idea for a second. "So…he knows what power I'm going to have?"
"Yes," his voice broke again.
"But what else? What are you not telling me?"
"Bella…they…won't leave without. They want you to join them." "Join them!" He roared, hurtling a baseball he had been clutching and unclenching. "You…can't join them." Edward fell to his knees like he was in physical pain.
I rushed to him. "Oh, Edward," I cried. I clung to him as he pulled me into his arms. He rocked us back and forth. "What are we going to do?"
"My family and I are going to fight."
"What! No!"
"You will be with the werewolves," he continued calmly.
"No! Edward, no! You can't do this!"
"Bella, I have to. I have to keep you safe and away from them."
"There has to be a better way!"
"Tell me when you come up with it, then!" he bellowed.
I cringed and fell silent. I pulled away from him. He hadn't ever yelled at me like that. Ever.
"Bella-" He started.
"No, go. Just leave me alone."
And then he walked out of the room.
He had never left me alone.
Not ever.
