She winces, and yet another piece of glass is extracted from her arm. It pains me to watch her in pain, even tough ?I know she is holding back because I'm here. Her beautiful skin, stained with dried blood, as Carlisle takes time to gently remove each shard from her skin.
I feel beyond guilty.
No words are exchanged between any of us, and I watch as Carlisle uses a rag and water to clean down her arm. The blood trickles down into a sea, making the clear water run red. It's weird how as a human it still intrigues me. To just watch the colour and the way it flows. It should be disturbing to me, but for some reason, it looks slightly fascinating.
Then I snap out of the haze and realise its Bella who is Bleeding.
"It's my fault." Bella mumbles out of the blue, her head bowed down, and Carlisle begins to wrap a bandage around her arm.
"It wasn't your fault Bella. You can't blame yourself for being who you are, as we can't blame ourselves for what we are. It was just an unfortunate mistake, and it could have ended much badly then it did." Carlisle advises her, his eyes flickering to me with a hard gaze.
A cold feeling ran over my body at the mere thought of it. Bella as Jaspers meal. I wouldn't be able to do anything. Hell, I would probably be his desert. I try to shake the thought and looming feeling, but it sticks to me...haunting me.
She sighs.
"But if I hadn't been so careless-"
"Bella, stop."I demand her,and her eyes slowly look up to meet my frustrated ones. "I'm not going to sit here and listen to you trying to switch this around and blame yourself. Jasper should have some control and held back. He should have fought against it." I tell her, a little bit of anger seeping through my words.
"Edward-"
"No, its true Carlisle. He should have fought against it," I point out, then lout out a long deep breathe. "Come on Bella I'll take you home." I insist, standing up and holding my hand out for her. Carlisle sighs,b tu leaves us be.
"But, I should say good bye-"
"They will understand." I cut her off,and she doesn't move. "Please."I plead slightly, and she looks at my outstretched hand before obeying and grasping it.
I make sure to be careful, as I walk her back to her truck. There's no way I'm letting her drive this home. Especially with her injured arm. I don't have to argue that much,as she allows me to drive her home. This night certainly din't go to plan, and I am lost in my own feuding thoughts all the drive back to her house.
"Can you...can you try and stay the night?" Bella asks me as I open her door for her. She exits all the while looking into my eyes with every-move I make, and I slam her door shut with a small thud.
"I can't, you know that."I point out, and make a gesture down my body. Down my very human body. She tries to conceal her sigh, but I notice it.
"Well, I will see you at school right, or can I come over tomorrow?" She questions me.
The mere thought of her entering my danger zone of a house petrify me.
"No. Um, I will come and see you tomorrow." I say quickly, and she frowns looking down slightly. No...she shouldn't be upset on her birthday. she shouldn't be sad at all. I need something to cheer her up."How about I take us to our meadow. Just the two of us." I offer with a smile.
It seems to do the trick and her mood lifts, and the atmosphere around us shifts from the tense awkward one we were just in.
"I would like that."She tells me.
I look down at her, leaning on the side of my car, watching her eyes bore into mine. She moves slightly, cautiously I think, and as she moves, I copy her actions. She turns around so she is standing in front of me, and my back is pressed against the car door. From all the drama today, a confused little smile seems to work its way onto my face.
"What?" I say, chuckling a little bit as she looks straight at my face. Her pupils dilating a little, growing bigger.
"It's my birthday right?" She says, rhetorically.
"Yes." I say slowly, unsure of what she is getting at.
"So...I can have whatever I like?" She adds, coming a little bit closer, sparking my curiosity.
"Within reason."I mumble, distracted as her hand gently laid on my chest, her fingers sneakily slipping through the little holes of my button, just to stroke my skin.
"Then kiss me." She says firmly, looking at me with determined eyes.
I pause for a second in hesitation as I spot the movement of curtains from Bella's living room. Her father no doubt. I can even see the different lights flashing form the TV screen. A little bit more movement occurs and the netting shifts side form side.
"Please." She begs, her expression becoming more pleading and desperate by he second.
With my heart in my throat and my mind stuck on the fact that Chief Swan is probably watching, I give in and lean down. I couldn't resist her, especially when she is so desperate. Who am I to deny the birthday girl.
"As you wish love." I mutter before letting my lips lap over hers.
I was meant to let the kiss be slow and make it so that I showed her how much I loved her through it. But Bella's body pushed up against mine firm, her hands desperately clawing as my scalp, pulling my hair, and her tongue moving faster then mine, encouraging me to join her.
"Get your hands of her leech!" Someone spat, as Bella was ripped out of my arms. I looked up in surprise at a man with short black hair, russet skin, a firm looking face, and a tattoo on his upper arm.
The nickname meant nothing to me, but when Bella yelped in pain as he grasped her injured arm, my anger spiked towards this stranger.
"What are you hiding from us? What is it you blood suckers are up to?" The man spat, grabbing a hold of my top and pushing me up against Bella's truck.
My skin throbbed under his harsh actions, and I winced biting my tongue to keep from yelping out in pain. Bella was defensive at once trying to help as she pulled back on his own, flimsy tank top.
No Bella, don't get hurt for me.
"Sam stop it!" She demanded, but the cold eyed man stood before me, glaring down into my eyes, and his hand pushing just a little bit more, aching pressure onto my shoulder.
"What are you planing Cullen?" Sam said slowly through gritted teeth.
"I don't know what your talking about." I demanded, trying to seem big ,as I shuffled to stand but I couldn't budge out of his hold.
"There's no use trying. How are you doing this, what have you found out? the sooner you tell me the quicker I will make your death." He said calmly.
"No!Sam, stop this!" Bella yelled attempting to yet again yank him off.
"Bella, stop, please I don't want you to get hurt." I said, struggling.
"If you didn't want her hurt you would keep her far away from your kind." Sam spat.
Oh how I have realised that...but there not my kind any-more.
"Look, I don't know what your talking about, your kind were the ones who attacked my family who have done nothing wrong. You violated the treaty, you are the one who should be threatened not me and my family!" I demanded.
"Your family are the ones who are a threat to us! To the whole human race for all we know, just tell me how you all of a sudden have a heartbeat!" He yelled, the atmosphere was thinning and thinning and I felt like I couldn't breath.
But that could just be due to the huge pressure Sam was putting on my fragile body.
"Sam, let him go we can talk about this like normal people. please before Charlie comes out."She begged. His eyes only left mine for a second and he could see how hurt Bella was, and how much she was pleading him.
When he did let go, my body sagged a little, and I gasped for a full intake of rushed to my side, her arm wrapping around my waist and her body supporting mine. Just her touch made me feel better.
"You better explain yourself, and why your kind has been on our land." He demands, but the last part he says leaves me baffled.
What do you guys think is going on?
Anyone buying or brought the 10th anniversary special of the Twilight book. It kinda seems silly to me. I would have preferred if Bella was still a girl but playing Edwards role as a vampire, and that Edward was the teenage human boy who falls in love with a vampire. I think the gender swap concept just sounds like a confusing fan-fiction. But it does say it has new content and differences so I shall read it!
I'm actually buying it today, its £8.50 Just look for the book with the green apple 3
CAN'T WAIT !
I'll tell you guys what I think about the book when I've read it xx
