Chapter 14- memories
Edward's pov
Bella left the room because of me, once again I am the one to hurt her. I thought I was protecting her by leaving her but I was wrong, I was very wrong. All her family and dog companions were glaring at me I felt even worse than I did before. She can never love again because of me we could never be together because of me. It's all my fault why she is here as a vampire and it is my fault why she can die from love. She is still my fragile Bella, so delicate but if I want her to forgive me we was going to have to be friends. I would rather she is alive then dead because of my love.
"Go apologies" Esme told me I sighed but followed her orders I was the one in the wrong. I followed her scent up to a room that I assume was hers so I knocked on the door, she didn't answer so I just walked in. She was sitting on the balcony edge with three books next to her then one on her lap. Her face was sad but smiling as she turned each page of the book, I walked over to the doorway that led out to the balcony.
"Bella I'm sorry, I know your not going to forgive me but I am" She didn't move she just carried on looking through her books. I walked over to the other three books they was a family scrap-book, Swans baby book and then a human memories scrap-book. She was looking through another scrap-book looking at the memories she and her family have had together.
"You can look" She said after a moment I chose the first scrap-book which had human memories written on it. I flicked through the first few pages were pictures of her child hood were shown, she never allowed me to see these when she was human but she was an adorable child. After those pages was when she first moved to Forks she had pictures and drawings from all our time together. The memories made me smile apart from the last page that was the page were I left her and Victoria and Laurent found her. The next scrap-book was Swan's baby album it had pictures in up until this very day, the ones that caught my attention was the one of Bella and Swan looking at each other laughing when Swan was just a baby. They are pictures of Swan with the Amazon coven, the Volturi then they is one of her on Aro's shoulders that I did not expect to see.
"They good friends people judge them for what they do but underneath those masks are people like me and you" Bella said as she watched me looking at the pictures of her and the Volturi. They seemed to be closer than friends they acted like family even Jane is smiling in some of them but she's distant with her brother.
"I'll get through to them we do share the same power the three of us have a lot in common" She's nothing like those twins, they only care about making people feel pain or nothing when Bella cares for her family. The pictures of Swan's birthday appeared then pictures from yesterday of her first day at school. I picked up the family scrap-book that had pictures of each member of her family, Victoria, the Volturi and then the wolf pack even her mother and father. I turned the page over then they was my family in her family scrap-book.
"You were my family when I was human" She said then she turned to look out of the forest as I took the scrap-book from her hands being careful not to touch her. This had pictures of when she first met her family members some were drawings others were pictures. She sat holding they hands for the whole transformation and then they was pictures of her and her family together. Pictures of they first day at school, birthdays, weddings. The one that made me laugh was the picture with Jane and Alec as she had her arms around them. Then she had a picture with Aro and Marcus, then all the Volturi members. This was her scrap-book of her life as a vampire, most of them were good memories but others were bad memories when she saved her family and Adrian and Alva came. It had been recently done with her first day at Forks High school and we was all in the drawing.
"You see Edward even though I wanted to be with you I'm happy you left me in the woods alone. If you would have never left me I wouldn't have met my family, so thank you" She whispered still staring off into the forest as the sun light hit her causing her to sparkle. It was breath-taking but staring wasn't going to get me any closer to us becoming friends.
"Your welcome I guess, but Bella I only left you because I thought it was for the best. I was wrong very wrong" She closed her eyes I hopped I wasn't upsetting her again.
"I just need time, Edward. I don't think you realise the pain I went through and nothing makes sense. You said you never loved me, you never wanted to be with me. I can't forgive your or anyone easily you have to earn it with me and that's not going to be easy" I could see the smirk on her face causing me to smile.
"At least I have a chance" I said I didn't know what to expect with Bella now she has changed, I didn't know how hard it was going to be for her to accept my apology but I won't give up.
Bella's pov
I've only shown my family my scrap-books before I have never shown anyone else but I wanted him too see that I can live without him. He was smiling away to himself going through my scrap-books which wanted me to smile. I couldn't accept his apology though he would need to earn it and I was going to make it hard for him and his family.
"I'm going down, I have a tour to do" I said turning around on the balcony and jumping on the floor again.
"Sure I'll come with you" Edward said he better not follow me everywhere. I picked up my scrap-books quickly running them over to my study then I appeared back in my room in front of a shocked Edward.
"Still forgetting I'm a vampire?" I asked trying not to laugh but he did then I led the way downstairs back into the living room. Everyone was smiling at me so I gave a small smile back then I helped Swan up.
"Shall we give our guests a tour?" I asked my family as they all stood up happily, as happy they could be with the Cullen's here.
"About time! I'm so excited" Isabel cheered standing with Jayce.
"We would love to see your home Bella" Esme said causing me to smile. I held Swan's hand as we led our guests for a tour around the house, showing them the kitchen, dinning room and now the games and theatre room.
"This is us boys room and sometimes the girls if were feeling nice" Alex said opening the door I watched as our guests faces dropped.
"Jake your supposed to be my Uncle and you didn't bother telling me about this?" Jackson asked as Jake laughed.
"This room is awesome" Emmett said with a cheer.
"Shall we carry on? Swan wants to show you her garden" I asked the boys as they stared in shock and amazement.
"Yes" They said after a moment then Swan skipped to the double doors leading outside.
"This is my dream garden that mommy and daddy got me for my birthday at the weekend" Swan said then she opened the double doors as everyone gasped in shock at the beautiful garden.
"The garden is amazing, you have so many unique plants its beautiful" Lucas said smiling at Swan as she blushed, they both enjoyed gardens they were going to get on just fine.
"Do you enjoy gardening?" Esme asked Swan.
"Yes I love it and I have two rules don't touch my garden unless your Esmé or Lucas and do not eat my ducks or Swans unless you want to die" Swan said causing everyone to laugh.
"We won't" Everyone chorused.
"Your have to show me everything in your garden later, Swan" Esme said I knew the two of them would get on.
"Me too" Lucas said I felt sorry for him having to deal with all this conflict.
"Let's do upstairs" I said leading the way up to my bedroom then study, Laurent's bedroom then study. Anna and Max's bedroom then study and library, Alicia and Alex's room with her room, Beth and Brandon's room with the sewing room.
"Now I bet you're wondering why Jake and Maddy's room takes up half of the house well this is they bedroom" I said showing them they bedroom and then Maddy stood by her double doors.
"Alice I know your going to love this but this is my world, my room" Maddy said opening the door to her mini spa, dressing up area and beauty saloon.
"No way! You have this in your house!" Alice cheered with excitement as she ran into the room.
"You never told me they was getting ready in here!" Isabel said following Alice.
"Well looks like I'll be coming to you Maddy" Rose said smiling at Maddy. They was a knock on the door which was strange as no one knocks on the door and I have my shield up they is no way someone could get passed it unless...
"Stay here everyone!" I shouted running down the stairs, it was that scent. It was them after all these years they decide to turn up on my doorstep, after all those newborns they decide to knock? I opened the door kicking him far away from my house, he allowed me to touch him maybe it was my lucky day.
"My dear Bella you know better than to not fight our love" I growled at him, of course he was with his sister who was creating the illusion of Edward leaving me again, it always weakened me hearing those same words stuck on reply.
"I will fight our love because they is no love! How dare you come knocking at my house!" I shouted they was no point in attacking him since he would teleport away.
"You know it's love, this is my last warning, join me now and marry me or I shall take the one person that means more than the world to you" His eyes darted to the balcony where my family, the pack and the Cullen's stood, his eyes were on Swan.
"You would have to get through me first!" I shouted with anger going through my body how dare he threat to take my daughter.
"I will get through you, you see my dear by destroying your family I weaken you allowing you to hand yourself over to me" Adrian said laughing with his sister.
"I won't let you!" I spat attacking them causing them to teleport away I ended up kicking the tree down. "Stupid idiots!" I cursed under my breath before storming back into the house. By the time I sat on the sofa in the living room everyone else joined me in shock.
"Bella I've seen the future" Alice told me I guess they was something good about having her here.
"And?" I asked through my teeth not in the mood for messing around with my family in danger again as my family come to sit with me.
"He's decided to take Swan and a fight will be happening in a weeks time" Alice said I held Swan close to me no way was I allowing him to take her, I wouldn't allow it I would rather die.
"I'll kill him! I'll kill them all including that sister of his! Edward I'm going to need your help!" I shouted through my teeth I was always too weak to kill Alva as she created illusions of Edward.
"What?" Edward asked.
"I need to train, I need you to repeat the lines you told me when you left me" I said as he looked at me confused "When Alva uses her power I see my worst nightmare the day you left me I'm always to weak to kill her as the words bring back bad memories" I didn't want him to be near me as it was dangerous but it was the only way to make sure my family are safe.
"You think by practising attacking me while I repeat what I said would make you become stronger?" Edward asked.
"Yes" I said I'm going to need to train hard for this.
"We could all use with some training" Carlisle said, Swan was in tears scared so I held her to my chest rocking her back and forth.
"You won't be fighting only I am, they wouldn't stand a chance with my powers" I said I wouldn't allow them to fight.
"Your powers won't work, Adrian has decided to project his shield of his army" Alice said I wouldn't last I hated my family fighting but if we could get numbers then that means they would be less of a chance my family becoming involved.
"I can't see how the fight turns out since the wolf's are they" Alice said seeming annoyed.
"Thank you Alice and I will train you all including the wolfs" I said getting up, I handed Swan to Laurent as I took out my phone.
"Hello?" Aro asked after a few rings, I knew they would help we are allies after all.
"Aro it's Bella I'm afraid me and my family are in a little trouble" I said.
"Why what's happened? Do I hear Swan crying?" Aro asked I could hear the whispers of the rest of the Volturi around him worried.
"Swan is crying, it seems Adrian and Alva are back and have decided to take Swan. They are coming next week to fight" I said.
"How do you know he's going to take Swan? Why? Were coming down" Aro said.
"Alice saw the future" They was hisses down the phone "He thinks that I would hand myself in for Swan's life, I would though and thank you" I said.
"Bella what are they doing there! That Edward better not be giving you any trouble or where give him trouble and where be they as soon as we can" Aro said.
"He's not too much trouble but they is no need for any more trouble, I'll see you soon" I said.
"Yes we can give Swan her birthday present as well, you better be throwing a good party" Aro said chuckling then he hung up as I dialled my next number up.
"Hello?" Zafrina asked down the phone, since they helped so much I brought them a phone that can get signal in the jungle so she and Swan could stay in touch.
"Hello Zafrina it's Bella" I said.
"Bella it's been a while how are you and your family?" Zafrina asked.
"Were doing well but I'm afraid we are in a bit of trouble" I said sighing.
"What is it?" Zafrina asked.
"Adrian and Alva are back wanting to take Swan, they will be a fight next week" I said.
"Say no more were on our way now" Zafrina said then she hung up looks like that's all our friends coming now.
"Bella the Denali's will be here by tomorrow" Carlisle said I sighed as my family laughed.
"What's so funny?" Rose asked.
"Well two years a go Bella bumped into the Denali sisters and whacked Tanya round the face" Laurent said laughing.
"Why?" The Cullen's asked but I could see Rose, Alice, Emmett, Jasper and Edward were trying not to laugh.
"Well I guess... I thought Edward left me, the ordinary Bella for the perfect Tanya" I said as everyone laughed "It doesn't matter though the more people who help the less chance someone could get hurt or killed" Not that I would allow it.
"Swan sweetie, listen to mommy I won't let anyone touch your or lay a single finger on you. I promise I will kill them before they get the chance" I whispered picking her up and holding her in my arms.
"I know I'm just scared" She whispered as I whipped her tears away.
"I know why don't you focus on something else at the moment, why don't you show Lucas and Esmé your garden?" I asked her she nodded her head then pulled Esmé and Lucas by the hand towards the double doors. I watched as she and Lucas looked at each other smiling, then the smile get even wider when they touched. They liked each other.
"Laurent I think our daughter has a little crush" I whispered when they left the house.
"On Lucas?" Rose asked smiling.
"I believe they both do" Jasper said also smiling after everything that happened today I couldn't help but smile at the fact my daughter likes Lucas. Even though I planned to die next week to stop my family from being in danger any more I was glad she found someone.
Hey I hopped you liked the chapter, Adrian is a little annoying with his teleport powers but it builds up the tension. They will be a twist and a training chapter which will be good, but the next chapter is when everyone arrives. So I have decided for Swan and Lucas to get together making the Swan coven and Cullen coven get on as well as the packs. I guess she is like Renesmee causing peace between the two but is everything going to be a happy ending? I'm still debating whether to kill Bella or not but please do review!
