Hell in our Eyes

Chapter 14: Obsession

I watched as Jasper and Alice's mouths hung open slightly. They were shocked and I couldn't help but find it amusing as I leaned back against Damon and giggled.

"Well, I'll be damned," Jasper finally said and Rosalie and Emmett burst into laughter, having never seen Jasper so speechless or Alice so...quiet before. Alice blinked and smiled.

"That is so cool, do you have any family alive today besides Elena?" Alice asked and I smiled and nodded.

"Sure do, most are dead now, but besides Elena I have Charlie and Isabel. There is one other, she is not exactly living though. I think you all know her, she goes by Esme Cullen now days." I laughed as all four cold ones looked at me in shock and froze. The rest of us laughed and I nodded.

"Esme is my daughter's descendant," I clarified and Rosalie blinked.

"Does...does that make you our grandma?" the blonde asked and I blinked and shrugged.

"I guess by marriage it does...eww I think I get where your going with that," I said as I thought of Edward. In some sick way I had dated my grandson, if only by marriage. Still, ewwww! We all laughed and I looked at Alice as she stopped and gasped, her face clouding over in what I knew was a vision.

"Alice?" Elena asked, not knowing what was happening. Alice blinked once and looked at me with some horror on his face.

"Edward's lost his freakin' mind!" she yelled suddenly and we all jumped.

"What?" Emmett asked and Alice sighed.

"My vision, it was of Edward arriving soon after Esme and Carlisle." Alice shook her head.

"Anyways he looked...ill, not well. Sick, and then he attacked Damon! He's crazy, yelling about protecting Bella..." Alice explained and we all looked at each other and I sighed. This was my fault. If only I hadn't fallen for him, I didn't really see why I had in the first place. Maybe it was more that I was in love with the idea of him. Of the idea of not being alone anymore, the idea of his family which was offered to me but I thought, felt that it would only be true if I was with him.

Now look where it landed me, up shit creak with a broken vintage paddle. Damon pulled me into his side as if recognizing my distress and I looked up into his eyes and smiled. I realized then this was more then just a rebound, this was real. I had finally found my mate.

"What are we going to do?" Rosalie asked and Stefan shook his head.

"We'll just have to be on our guard. Stop him before he can act rashly. Maybe he can be reasoned with," he said and Damon snorted.

"I say we just flame the sucker. I'll bring the flame thrower if you bring the smores," Damon said and Rosalie snorted in amusement while the other cold ones hid a smile. They loved their brother but he was acting like a three year old who had their favorite toy taken away.

"Damon, we can't do that. This guy obviously needs some help," Elena said and I smiled. Always so sweet and caring. She had the Petrova fire though, let it not be said she didn't have a backbone because she did. I nodded in agreement though.

"She's right, I made this mess now I'm going to fix it." they all looked at me and nodded, some more hesitantly then others.

"I don't like this plan, but I can't really argue I guess," Damon said and I smiled up at him leaning up to kiss him and everyone smiled happy to see that Damon was finding some happiness after a century of pain and being loves bitch. It was at this time Carlisle and Esme entered with Caroline. Esme and Carlisle were fast to come and hug me, and I smiled and chuckled as they pulled back, sad faces in place.

"Don't worry we heard everything about Edward. Caroline was kind enough to tell us your story Princess," Carlisle said almost teasingly with a smile and I would have blushed if it had been possible, and it sort of was but our blood moved so much slower that it was barely noticeable and wasn't to a human.

"I can't believe we're related," Esme said as she looked at me and then hugged me again.

"I almost couldn't believe it either Esme, I thought you had died in 1920," I told her as she pulled back and we all sat back down.

"I am so sorry about what Edward had done Kathleena," Carlisle said shaking his head. "It's something I thought he wasn't capable of. His mother would be disappointed in him as much as we are I'm sure."

I nodded and smiled at them. "It's alright Carlisle, I've grown from it. I did love Edward but I've found that love wasn't as real as I thought it was. It was more of a love of the idea of him, of not being alone. Of having a family. I've found my mate now though," I told them and smiled up at Damon who smirked smugly. The Cullens grinned, happy to see me happy I think and then just like that it was shattered as the door was thrown inwards and Alice gasped coming out of a split second vision.

Edward was here, and he wasn't happy.

"Bella," he said but it was almost like a question as he turned to staring at me and I stood with Damon who was glaring at Edward.

"This is Edward?" Damon whispered to me. "I don't get it." I held back a laugh at this, it was the time or place for Damon humor. I shook my head and Edward growled, maybe he could hear Damon's mind? From the way Damon was smiling smugly at Edward I knew he was. I elbowed Damon in the stomach and walked forward hesitantly.

"Edward, calm down," I began and he turned to me and hissed before his eyes softened but he was looking at me almost crazed. His skin was paler then usual, if that was possible and sickly looking. His eyes black like he had not fed in a while. I gasped as his arm shot out and grabbed me pulling me into him.

"My Bella," he growled and I stared at him in shock. I heard the others growl and Elena's cry of shock. This wasn't going to end well.
