Chapter 12 – The Storm
Bella POV
The sudden blackness was what woke me, the way I was sleeping soundly until the light shifted in my eyelids until it was gone. I sat up straight thinking I was having a nightmare, a scream tearing itself from my lips as my heart thudded in my chest. Two strong arms wrapped themselves around my torso, cradling me into their coldness.
"Sshhh, shush Bella, it's aright the power just cut out, you're alright, I'll never let anything hurt you." Edward whispered in my ear, making me instantly relax and causing my heart to melt just a little.
I lay back basking in the comfort of his touch, I was still slightly freaked out that I was in a room with seven vampires and couldn't see a single one of them.
"Alright nobody panic, we'll find some candles and get some light in here as quick as we can." Carlisle's voice came out of the darkness from the corner of the room, I felt like the only reason he was saying any of this out loud was for my benefit. The candles probably were too.
Two seconds later the room was illuminated by the flickering of hundreds of tiny flames, lighting up the four corners of the cream coloured walls, as well as the faces of the surrounding vampires. Edward's wisp of golden hair tickled the sides of my face as he nuzzled his nose into my overly warm neck. Although we were in the middle of a thunder storm the room was overly hot with air conditioning to cool it down.
"Are you burning up, love?" Edward asked sweetly, "Come here, let's cool you down." He said snuggling me in closer to his chest.
"Oh will you two just get a room already." Said Emmett with his head right next to mine, making me jump with how close he was.
Emmett POV
I admit it was oddly cute to watch but it just wouldn't be like me if I didn't ruin the moment with some kind of rude comment. I know it annoyed people but they understood that it was just me. Now I'm not a person to be easily scared or to jump when something unexpected happened but the loud crash and bang that came next startled me so much that I did literally jump out of my seat on the sofa.
Considering myself the strongest and most threatening I ran up the stairs as fast as I possibly could, rushing into Edward's room where the whistling noise was coming from. Bursting in through the door I came to a sudden stop to find the doors to his balcony blown open scattering all of Edward's belongings all across his room, the wind still whirling in blowing everything in its path.
Edward POV
I ran up following Emmett, my mind was only focused on one thing in the room; I had to check it was alright. I pushed passed him in the doorway, speeding my way over to my bedside table and opening the top drawer, rummaging through until I found the small square velvety box, which I opened to check that my mother's ring was still there.
'Bella, I love you more than the world itself, would you do me the extraordinary honour of marrying me?' was engraved onto the inside lid of the box.
I sighed in relief and turned around only to find another six vampires staring at me: two with loving smiles on their faces, like they were looking at a new-born child ; three with gleeful smiles on their faces, elbowing each other occasionally ; and one looking as sour faced as ever, but that was her face naturally though. I'm sure it's pretty easy to guess which is which.
Oh that is the cutest thing I think I have ever seen in my entire life, it's about time that he found someone to love, he deserves it. Esme thought.
"What's going on in here? Is everything alright?" Bella's silky voice drifted from the top of the stairs. I quickly hid the box in my back pocket so she wouldn't see.
"Everything's absolutely fine, love, nothing for you to worry about. All can be easily fixed. Come on there's no point staying in here, you'll get ill, again." I said glaring at Rosalie menacingly. I put my arm around Bella's shoulders, pulling her with me, holding her waist gently to check she won't fall down the stairs. I wouldn't put it past Bella to trip and break her neck.
Please read and review, a new story should be uploaded soon, it will be about the Cullen's going on holiday, the first chapter will be up this week so please read that too. :D
