I watched as Edward, Jasper, and Emmett ran into the castle. There is no way this plan would work. They were running head first into a place full of vampires, all trained to fight, all of them probably ordered to kill Edward if he showed up.
"Be patient."
Rosalie must have seen me getting ready to run into the castle after them.
"You look to out of place. If a human saw you, they would think you were weird."
I hadn't even thought that there were people around. What would they think if they saw the group of us standing here? That must have been Rosalie's plan; she wanted me to get my mind off of what was going on. She never did like me, so I doubt she was doing it for me.
We waited there for what seemed like forever, me, Rosalie, and the three that made up Tanya's coven.
"The pursuers are going to get here if they don't hurry. We can't let them get to close or we won't be able to make our getaway. "
I looked at Rosalie as she spoke, and I was surprised to actually see concern in her eyes. She must be worried about Emmett.
We could hear footsteps coming from the castle. This was it. It would either be Edward, or we were going to have to fight.
To my relief I first saw Jasper, Carlisle, and Esme run out.
"Hurry and run to where Alice is."
Jasper yelled at us as he flew past us. Where was Edward, where was Emmett?
Everyone quickly followed behind them, but I couldn't make myself move. I wanted to make sure Edward was safe. I kept my eyes locked on where Jasper had first emerged.
Then I was a bit relieved when I saw Emmett running out, carrying Edward, not running near as fast as he could. Then the relief I had felt disappeared. Edward's clothes had been ripped in many places, obviously bite marks all over. Emmett looked pretty torn himself.
"Edward!"
I started running over to him when I saw a vampire run out of the castle straight at them. I ran faster than I knew I could, grabbed both Edward and Emmett, and took off towards the boat. To my surprise, their weight seemed like nothing. The vampire was right on my back though and I realized I was probably going to have to fight, and I probably didn't stand a chance.
"Bella, keep running."
Edward was able to mutter out the sentence, and it was obvious he was in pain. The venom must be burning really bad.
I saw something running at me, and a second later it flashed by and there was a booming noise behind me. I stopped in my tracks and turned around to see Rosalie had caught the vampire off guard, and was ripping him apart.
"Rosalie, hurry!"
She left the vampire in shreds, not bothering to burn it. She ran up to me to grab Emmett.
"Man, we got it pretty bad. You should have seen us though!"
Emmett seemed like he was almost fine already, but he still let Rosalie carry him. I looked at Edward's face, and he was clenching his teeth, still in obvious pain.
After a very quick run, we saw Alice waving from a small passenger boat. Rosalie and I both jumped on to it, and it instantly took off.
"It's the fastest I could find. It can get up to 100mph so we should be able to get out of here fine."
Finally I was able to relax a little. I laid Edward on the floor and sat beside him. I lifted his head and sat it in my lap. He lifted his arms up and pulled my face towards his, and we kissed for the first time being where we wanted to be. We were no longer at the Volturi castle. We were no longer apart. It was finally going to be me and Edward together.
"Bella, I love you."
"I know, and I love you more."
