Chapter 14- Edwards Love
E.P.O.V
I stood in Port Angeles. Nothing could spoil this Saturday. I smiled. I really did need some new piano pieces. A store called Cow's Don't Play sounded promising. The owner was looking through the money and a store clerk was shuffling through the papers, thinking each name.
New Soft, Joy Crushes Me, Sing My Sweet, Tons of Hearts. He recited. I strode into the store. The owner looked up.
"100 and 10, 100 and 20, 100 and 30." He placed the money back in with finality. "Hello sir, interested in music?"
State the obvious, Mr-Store-Owner. I rolled my eyes without him seeing,"Yes, I aim to by something… good."
"Good, now do you play, Sax, piano, maybe trumpet? Violin perhaps?" He questioned.
"Piano."
"Very well. Eugene, this gentleman requests piano music." He snapped his fingers. "While we wait, let me show you the piano where you may practice the piece."
"Thank you Mr. ?"
"Tim, call me Tim."
"Well, thank you, Tim." I gave a slight shrug and followed him to the grand piano. It was magnificent, although it couldn't compete with my specially ordered French piano.
"My baby, Mr… er, what's your name?" Tim asked.
"Edward Cullen."
"Really? Why I had a Dr.-" My phone went off, Alice.
"Excuse me, my little sister is having trouble." I answered, "Alice? Is Bella okay?"
"Hm? Bella?"
"Along with everyone else." Dang, why did her name always seem to be on the tip of my tongue?
"What do you want?"
"Huh? Oh! Just calling to say hello. Can't a little sister do that now-a-days?" I imagined her pout.
"What do you really want?" I growled. "I'm busy, Ali."
"Fine, Mr. Grumpy Pants! Sheesh! I saw a nice outfit at Clarice's clothing store and wanted you to pick it up. Just ask Margy for it."
"Margy?"
"The best clerk they have. She gives me a discount because I go so much. Thanks! Bye Eddie!" She hung up.
"Sorry about that. Little sister wanted me to pick up something." I laughed uncomfortably.
"Mr. Cullen? Here are the pieces you requested." Eugene wore a sneer on his face. I stared at Tim in confusion. Eugene walked away.
"What did I do?"
"He always looks like that, don't mind him." Tim shook his head.
A few minutes later I walked out of the store with my new pieces. I stopped only at Clarice's and sped the rest of the way home.
"Edward! You made it! A group of vampires is at the meadow. The rest of the family is there already. Let's go help them." Esme greeted me with an unsure smile.
-----------------------------------
Victoria, James, Laurent and their group stood in front of us.
"Lies do not benefit you." Bella said. Victoria lunged at her, but she handled herself well so I didn't worry too much about her. I lunged at the one who could heal other people, Abby. She laughed and danced away, reminding me of Alice. I threw her a menacing look. She laughed again. Her brown hair reminded me of Bella- no! Not her again!
I jumped at Abby but she sprinted away towards Victoria's roar. Good, Bella had bit her. I walked slowly towards Emmett, thinking Abby would come back for me, according to her thoughts.
-----------------------------------
Em.P.O.V
Ah. The thrill of battle. James was no match, not even worthy to be called a fighter. I threw him to the ground. A long line blood trailed his face. I had a small gash where he'd gotten lucky.
"You call this a fight? You are like a tiny human child."
"YA-H!" He erupted into flames. Lauren flashed me a grin and wiped her hands on her jeans.
"Carlisle said to end his misery. It was fun. Alice and Jasper are confusing the girl, Lysie, by switching her emotions. It's hilarious. Rosalie wants to talk to you, by the way. She didn't feel like ruining her nails with fighting. Leah is killing Laurent. Carlisle and Esme got Evan, he's a fighter. Edward and Bella are getting Abby and Victoria, or at least Edward is heading that way."
"BELLA!" Alice's shout made us all turn. We gasped at the horrific sight.
Ed.P.O.V
Alice's shout made me jump. Fear trickled down my spine.
Bella.
Precious Bella.
My Precious Bella.
She was dying, and I realized something, I loved her too much to let that happen. Rage erupted.
"No." I growled as she blacked out. A moment of silence ensued as Victoria and Abby stared at me. "No, she is mine. You will not touch her."
"She is ours." Victoria slowly approached me. I jumped at her with no fear for my safety and twisted her neck till it broke.
"Have her." She whispered and ran off. Luckily for her, I was more concerned for Bella.
"Bella?" I knelt beside her.
"Edward, you saved me." I stroked her face as she smiled dreamily up at me.
"Of course. There's a reason imprinting is so powerful. It killed me to see you get hurt. I won't allow it to happen again. And- and I've realized something." I felt my breath pick up it's pace.
"What?" Her eyes grew big.
"I love you." And I kissed her.
B.P.O.V
Our embrace stopped. I gulped for air.
"They're gone?" I asked hopefully.
"Yes, gone. We are free to love. But I have a question." Edward said. His musical voice made me long for another kiss.
"What do you want, Edward?" I frowned.
"Will you be mine? And only mine?" He gave me a look I couldn't resist.
"Of course." A longer kiss temporarily satisfied my needs. Somebody whistled. A small thud told me that person had been hit lightly.
Wow, none of my pack would want to be around me after this. I broke away from the gorgeous man.
"I have a question, too." I stared up into his adoring eyes.
"Which would be-?"
"Why were those vampires after me? I've never seen them before."
"Yeah, we want to know too, of course." Rosalie primly sat down while holding on to Emmett's hand. He sat down to avoid losing an arm. He was rubbing his other arm with a frown. I smirked at him.
"Wait for the rest, though. They'll want to hear too." Alice gave me a smile and sat down beside me on Jasper's lap.
"Thanks Alice." Esme shot her a thankful look. Leah sat behind me, giving everyone glares with her wolf eye. I held Edward's hand, which he squeezed. I smiled at him.
"Do you know your Uncle Ben?" He asked.
"Sure, he visits me every once in a while."
"Did you recognize anyone? Like, did anyone look similar to him?" I thought hard.
"Yes, Lysie did! She has brown hair!" I gasped.
"I have brown hair and am not related to you." Emmett snickered. I glared at him.
"Abby knows you. She is your Uncle Ben's child."
"What? Then why did she attack us?"
"She takes you as a threat." I stared blankly at him.
"A threat in taking the 'Most Person To Trip In Known Mankind' award? She can have it." Alice, Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper laughed having experienced my painful grace. Even Carlisle cracked a smile.
"She considers you a threat to her pack, silly." Alice whacked me on the shoulder. It hurt. Jasper winced.
"Take it easy on the blows, Ali. I can feel them." He complained. She laughed again.
"Jazzy, it was fun!"
"ANYWAY, why am I threat?"
"You're another female Alpha, a rather large pack, might I add? An awesome one too." Edward said. We stared at him, dumbfounded. "It's what Leah told me to say!"
"Phew! I thought your mind had left you, bro. You had me worried for a moment." Emmett faked a worried expression. It was… weird. He couldn't look worried. I thought about saying that. Alice laughed. We stared at her now.
"What? Bella was going to say something funny." She shrugged. I laughed. Not knowing what else to do, everyone else joined in too.
A/N
I know, crappy explanation. But I needed a reason for them to come because I wanted to involve Victoria and James. Just a chapter or two left! *Sad face* But I'm working on a sequel, which I'm not positive I will post. I'm not sure right now what's going to happen with it. Oh well, we still have a chapter to wrap things up! :) Review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
