Chapter 13
Edward POV
I walked back into the cave half an hour later. I was full of blood and I couldn't postpone coming to the cave anymore. I walked over to where the boy had his hand laid. His eyes were glazed over and he was turning paler, if that was possible. I looked at Bella and suddenly my heart lifted. Her face had returned a small amount of colour and her heart was beating once every two minutes. "There's still a lot more in the process, but he's doing a good job." Said Carlisle.
"She'll never forgive me." I said, shaking my head.
Emmett came up to me and put his hands on my shoulders, "Don't blame yourself Edward. She forced you to go over the top. If any one, she's and angry at James."
"No! NO! She's angry at me. I TRIEDTO KILL HER GOD DAMMIT EMMETT!"
I turned around and snapped at him dangerously. "I need to stay away from her, we all do. No one will endanger her life again."
I peered back down at the boy now who was looking at me faintly. He looked like a ghost, paler than usual and his mouth slightly open. I shook my head, "No! Once this is done, we will leave her. She cannot be with us, we're too dangerous."
"But…Edward, if she is left alone, she'll go on a rampage around the city, killing people, drinking their blood. We have to help her be like us. She'll be a vampire." Alice stated.
"I know that. But, I can't hurt her again."
"Edward, she'll be a vampire, you can't hurt her then."
"But it's my fault she became a vampire! I never wanted this."
"But she did!" Rosalie retorted back.
I looked down, anger, frustration, misery and fear swirled into me, pushing at my pressure points. I collapsed on the floor, I could not take anymore.
"Then what do I do?" I asked shakily, rubbing my temples.
Emmett came over to me and knelt down beside me. He put a hand on my back, and said, "You trust her, you tell her, you love her."
The wisdom coming out of Emmett's mouth was a nit hard to believe since he was usually the happy, joking, confident sort of brother.
I sighed and nodded. I looked over to where the others stood and they obviously seemed surprised at Emmett's wisdom too.
"You're right Emmett. I don't want to leave her. Together, we'll make it through this."
I stood up and walked over to the boy giving life to Bella. Bella's body was moving slightly and the boy was dying slowly. I sighed, this shouldn't be. A simple boy with hopes and dreams, had his family taken away from him, gotten tricked by evil itself and then found one hope in his life (Bella) and now was giving himself up to her.
This was unfair.
James would pay dearly for what he inflicted upon this boy and Bella. He would pay dearly for tricking most of the people in his army and he would DIE, for torturing me! One way or another, James was going down!
Sorry this chapter was so short. And i am really sorry for not updating sooner. I will put up chapters more often now, i promise. :)
