Elena's POV
Elijah left me to go cook me something to eat. I really want to ask him what happen after Edward got attack. All I remember is that Mikael ended it up on my truck, which I will have to get replace. I can notice the nervous glances I'm getting from Jasper, but I pretended not to notice. I mean, can I really blame him for walking on egg shells around me. "I'm really sorry guys about all this. Mikael was suppose to remain secure in his tomb, but Tanya let him go. If I didn't know the information that I know now, I would be all for neutralizing him, but he is a victim too. Well. his conscience is anyways." I said.
"Sweetie, this is something you can not help. What is done is done. The situation could have been a lot worst, but Edward is alive and that is what I can be thankful for. Don't beat yourself up about this." Esme said. She came over a patted me on shoulders and gave me a one arm hug. "How is your head?" She asked.
"Well, it don't feel like a freight truck is pounding on my head, but it is still annoying. Thank you for asking." I said. I look over to Edward and this immense amount of guilt came rushing over my head. I don't know what happen, but nausea came in like a tidal wave. I darted out of my chair and straight to the downstairs bathroom. I crumbled to my knees and threw up. I gripped the toilet for dear life.
I felt someone behind me, tugging my hair out of the way. "Are you okay, Bella?" Alice asked. She was rubbing my back.
I was up to the point of dry heaving. Took me a few moments to catch my breath, then I sat up against the tub, slanting. "Edward was hurt, because of me. I didn't even think about telling you guys about Mikael. I'M SO STUPID!" I slapped my forehead, leaving my hand on my face.
"It is not your fault, Bella. Edward is alive and that is a blessing in a disguise." Alice said, sitting next to me.
"I wouldn't hold it against you guys to walk out that door and not look back. You have no idea the darkness my soul carries. I'm basically a omen!" I said. I removed the sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand.
"You burden yourself too much! In my eyes, you will always be the girl who saved me. You didn't have to do that. I could have been a killer, but you took the risk without thinking. Many people wouldn't have done that." Alice said. She stood up and held her hand out to me. I hesitantly accepted her hand and she pulled me up to my feet. I immediately covered my mouth. Alice took a step back. "Do you have to vomit again?" Her nose crunched up in disgust.
I shook my head from side to side. "I don't want to kill my best friend with my offending breath." I said, hiding my smile.
"That would be a shame after you saved me after all!" Alice laughed. She lead the walk out the bathroom and I followed by a distance. I bypassed everyone and straight to my bathroom upstairs to clean up.
I took a quick shower and dressed down in my grey sweats with a black, long sleeved, V-Neck shirt. I slipped on my black Vans on. I styled my hair in a sloppy bun and chose not to do make-up. I went downstairs, but stop instantly at the bottom when I saw Edward, back to me. My heart rate sky rocket. How do he do it? The man was just about mauled and died and he still look PERFECT! I looked like I was electrocuted and beaten with a bat. What the hell am I thinking? My boyfriend was attacked and killed and I'm over here in the corner obsessing about looks. Good thing he can't read my mind.
"Where is Bella?" Edward said. He started to pace, while rubbing his neck.
"I'm right here, Edward." I whispered. His body whipped in my direction. The next millisecond, I was vice grip of hug. I wrapped my arms around him just as fiercely. The sweet scent of his blood filled my nose. "I'm sooo sorry, Edward! Everything is crazy." Warm tears trickled down my face, landing on his neck. The familiar feeling of nausea worked its way into me, but I forcefully pushed it back down. I didn't want to let go if this was our last moment together.
Edward started to stroke my head. "Ssssshhhhh, Bella, this isn't your doing. The first time in my life, I was scared. All things I haven't told you. I thought I would never get a chance to tell you. Those beautiful baby brown eyes that gave me ultimate comfort I thought was lost to me forever. The physical pain don't even measure to what I emotionally felt. I'm just glad you are okay and I got another chance." Edward said. He had me swaying in his arms. Despite the blood and dirt smell, that mint and woodsy scent of his kept me calm.
As much as I wanted to stay there an eternity, I pulled from his embrace and looked into those dark orbs. "I want to enjoy this whole reunion thing, but there is bigger fish to fry. Mikael is out there and watching and I need to prepare myself to go against Mikael." I said. A scowl appeared on Edward's angelic face. He took a step back and stared at me. "What?" I asked.
"You will not be preparing to fight Mikael. My family already debriefed me on the details, so I don't need catching up. My family made plans for us to leave late tonight for your safety." He said.
I took my step back and frowned. I was getting a little agitated that he is ordering me around, but it understandable. "Mikael is powerful, so we will need all the help we can get. I will not be leaving, Edward. Not anytime soon. You should take your family and leave until this blows over." I responded, crossing my arms over my chest.
"Bella, you are human! YOU COULD GET YOURSELF KILLED!" Edward growled. He started to stalked towards me and I moved back by instinct until I was trapped between a wall and him. He had his hands placed on either side of my head. He lower his head to the point where our noses was touching barely. "You will be leaving with me if I have to drag you kicking and screaming, Bella." That feral tone would have sent shivers down my spine if I wasn't piss beyond the point of return.
The next moment, I had him pinned against the wall and my vamp face exposed. "Edward, I love you, but lets get one thing straight. I. Am. Not. A. Puppet. I'm not a scared little human that runs when things get tough. I refuse to be intimidated into submission. We can have an all-out-brawl, but I will play no games! I will subdue you if provoked, Edward." I said with my own feral growl. I released my grip and walked out the room, not saying a word.
Edward's POV
I jerk upright, taking in deep breaths. I looked around the room and saw Esme, Alice, Jasper, and Mr. Mikaelson. "What happened?" I asked.
"You were attacked by my father and he snapped your neck. Now, you are healed and woke. Oh, Bella is fine." Elijah said smoothly. I started to rub my neck. Esme came over and sat down neck to me and rubbed my back. I looked into her eyes and they had unshed tears.
"Esme, please don't start crying. I'm fine as you can see." I said. Instantly, she started to calm down. I threw a look at Jasper and he simply smiled. "Your mother is entitled to her feelings, Edward." Carlisle said, coming out another room. "You gave us quite a scare, son. How are you feeling?" Carlisle asked.
I got up from the couch and started to pace. "My throat is burning and my neck painfully sore, otherwise I'm fine." I looked around the room and saw that Bella wasn't with the current occupants. "Where is Bella?" I asked. Before anyone can say anything, my question was answer.
Her velvety voice whispered, "I'm right here, Edward." I whipped around and saw her standing in a corner. I relaxed and in a millisecond, I had her in my embrace. She smell of vanilla and lavender. Her warm skin sent tingles through me.
"I'm sooo sorry, Edward! Everything is crazy." She mumbled in my shoulder. I felt tears fall down my neck.
I gripped a little tighter and started to stroke her head. "Ssssshhhhh, Bella, this isn't your doing. The first time in my life, I was scared. All things I haven't told you. I thought I would never get a chance to tell you. Those beautiful baby brown eyes that gave me ultimate comfort I thought was lost to me forever. The physical pain don't even measure to what I emotionally felt. I'm just glad you are okay and I got another chance." I said.
We remained in each other embrace for a minute, then Bella broke away. "I want to enjoy this whole reunion thing, but there is bigger fish to fry. Mikael is out there and watching and I need to prepare myself to go against Mikael." I frown at her stupidity, then I took a step back and stared. "What?" She asked.
"You will not be preparing to fight Mikael. My family already debriefed me on the details, so I don't need catching up. My family made plans for us to leave late tonight for your safety." I said. She must have bumped her head! I knew I was stepping in dangerous territory when I took on authoritative role against Bella, but her safety was my #1 priority.
Bella took a step back and frowned. "Mikael is powerful, so we will need all the help we can get. I will not be leaving, Edward. Not anytime soon. You should take your family and leave until this blows over." Bella responded, crossing her arms over her chest.
A nerve snapped within me. "HOW COULD SHE BE SO RECKLESS WITH HER LIFE? NOT A CARE FOR OTHERS!" I screamed in my mind. I would give anything to read her mind this instance. "Bella, you are human! YOU COULD GET YOURSELF KILLED!" I didn't mean for it to come out so harshly, but it was too late.
My primal instincts took over and stalked Bella in a corner. Her whole composure remained impassive. I pinned my hands outside, on both sides, of her head. Then, I leaned down to where our noses touched barely. "You will be leaving with me if I have to drag you kicking and screaming, Bella." My feral growl didn't even make her flinch. I could feel my vamp face itch underneath my facade.
The next moment, I found myself pinned by neck against the wall by Bella. It wasn't a tight pressure, but it kept me from squirming out of the hold. The vamp face was in full glory. She inched closer to me. "Edward, I love you, but lets get one thing straight. I. Am. Not. A. Puppet. I'm not a scared little human that runs when things get tough. I refuse to be intimidated into submission. We can have an all-out-brawl, but I will play no games! I will subdue you if provoked, Edward." Bella sent her own feral growl, more deadly than mine. I knew she meant what she said, but I couldn't bring myself to accept it.
She released me and left without another word. I have never been so angry in my life. I stormed out the house, not caring if this Mikael person was waiting outside the door. I whipping through the woods. My rage blurred everything that was usually I could see with clarity. The burning in throat was intensifying to a new level. My mind went haywire, no longer focus on anger, but my hunger. I started to slow down, but I heard noise coming from my left.
It was a faint voice. "Hello, I'm looking for a tow truck. My car's engine won't start up." A girl's voice said. The voice faded out, but her heart became louder and louder. I don't know what possessed me, but i started to trail towards the girl.
After a few minutes, a road became in view. In the near distance, a girl was standing outside her 2003 Red Pontiac car. She had her back to me. I started to bob and weve through the trees. I was moving steathily towards the unsuspecting girl. "STOP, EDWARD!" I yelled in my head.
Another voice popped up. One that was too familiar. The one I thought I abandoned decades ago. "It will only be a few sips, Edward. Thats all and just ler go. What's the harm in that?!" That voice was pounding. I was literally behind the girl. My facade not holding up, my vamp face was out on display.
The girl must have seen me in her car window, because she turned around and started to yell. Then, she started to run in the woods. Only if she knew that she just provoked the predator within me. I let her get a good distance apart in woods, so we would be out of sight.
Then, I had her pinned against a tree. She screaming relentlessly. That just added to the thrill. I allowed her to get out her system, then I caught her eyes. "Stop screaming and stand still. No need to be afraid." I said. Her shrill went silent and she stood still.
I took a good look at the girl. She had long, blonde hair. She was skinny and about 5ft 4in. She was wearing pale blue skinny jeans with ripped holes with a grey t-shirt. She had on a hoodie with grey Converse high tops. She had bluish-green eyes.
I looked back in her eyes. "What is your name?" I asked in a whisper as if I might be overheard.
"Kaley Martin." Kaley replied. She was basically human robot.
"Well Kaley, I'm a very hungry vampire and I need to feed." I said. I ran my finger down her neck, then across her collar bone. She bit her lip with pleasure. She easily leaned her neck over to the right. I could hear blood pumping through her artery. It made my hunger ravinous. I knew right then and there that I wouldn't be able to stop at a few sips. I wanted drain her. I wanted her life to slip through my fingers. My predator was in a full blown mode.
My right hand slid up to her head, entangling with her hair, to cradle her. I moved insufferably close. I closed my eyes and let the thumping of her heart be music to my ears. My lips brushed over the artery, which made her grip my shoulder blade tighter. I vamp my face out and my fangs grazed the skin. I pulled back and looked into Kaley's lustful eyes. "I'm sorry." I mumbled, then I went for the kill.
In Twilight, I hated how Edward was so in control of his hunger. He was too perfect of a character. I wanted to at least she him have a struggle with something, beside's his stalker tendencies. I wanted to put him in Stefan's shoes for a bit. Plus, I wanted to play around with a Dark Edward. If I decide for a sequel, leave a comment if you want to see more of Dark Edward.
