Chapter 28- War

I banged my hands on the front door. I couldn't believe all that was going on, and all of it happening in the manner of a week! Only my luck. I growled and pounded my fists into the door as soon as a couple seconds passed. " HELLO! Are you going to answer your frigging door?" I yelled. I could hear someone running to the chunk of wood in front of me so I put my hands on my hips and waited for the door to swing open; which it did. I groaned and walked inside, my hand on my temple. " I probably just started a war with one of the craziest vampires I've ever met!" I cried and sank into the couch. " I should shoot myself." I muttered. Edward sat next to me and placed a finger on my face, turning me so I was looking at him.

" Bella, whatever happened we won't allow him to hurt you." He said seriously. I couldn't bite down my laughter so I ended up cracking up right in front of his face.

" Edward, sweetheart-" I put a hand on his chest and swallowed my giggles. " Mitchell would rip you apart. . . But I appreciate the gesture." His face lowered into a frown and he got up off the couch.

" Thanks for practically killing my ego." I got up and wrapped my arms around his waist, kissing his neck.

"Oh, it's a woman's world Edward. We just allow you to live in it." I teased. He groaned and turned around to me. His face contradicting his playful eyes.

" Oh really?" He picked me up and cradled me in his arms. I grinned and kissed him softly.

" Really." I stated simply. I lowered my head to his ear and whispered, " Now take me upstairs and have your manly way with me." His eyes opened wide and his mouth dropped to the floor.

" What?" He exclaimed.

" I've had a really long, excruciating day. I'm too stressed to be a lady; now let's go." He kissed me deeply while walking up the steps. I kicked open his door and we stumbled our way over to his bed. He lowered me onto it gently and then followed suit; his body feeling damn near perfect on top of mine. His hands rested on my waist as his kisses lowered down to my collarbone. I grinned and brought his head back up to me. " How long have we waited for this Edward?" I whispered.

" A while." He whispered back. I smiled and lifted his shirt right up and over his arms; studying the body I'd set free of that totally unnecessary cloth. My eyebrow rose and I kissed his chest. He looked hmmm, hmmm good. He unhooked my top and threw it to the floor. " Beautiful." He said softly.

" I know." I bragged. " What can I say, being a vampire suits me." His eyes flashed dark with lust as we soon got tangled up into a dance all our own. I ran my hands up his back as he carefully slid inside, causing a slight gasp to escape from my lips. For well on an hour we experience more pleasure than even heaven could provide. Of course, there was so much pent up inside both of us, it's only natural that our first time together would be hella good. Finally he collapsed on me, his breathing ragged as he peered into my eyes.

" I love you Bella." He whispered. I smiled and kissed him passionately.

" I love you too Edward." I whispered back. He slid to the side and wrapped me up into his arms. " Damn-" I sighed. " That was awesome." He grinned and kissed the skin behind my neck. We just laid there, watching the sun come up through his window.

I wrapped my robe around me and tied it tight. " Come on Ed, we can't lay here forever. We still have a problem on our hands." He sighed and stood up, in all his glory. I licked my lower lip and chuckled. " I don't think your family will enjoy seeing you like that." He smiled and walked over to me, kissing me softly.

" I don't think we have to go down just yet though." He told me quietly. I groaned and devoured his lips with mine but quickly pulled away.

" Yes. . . We do." I pushed him away softly and opened his door. " See you downstairs." I closed it quietly and walked down the steps. Lanina appeared by the banner, a huge grin on her face.

" You did the dirty." She sang. I rolled my eyes and walked past her. " Tell me Noleen, on a scale of one to ten how was it." I turned around and bit my tongue down. She giggled and clapped her hands. " That good!" I nodded my head and sat down on the kitchen table.

" Oh yeah, it certainly got rid of my stress for a while. But, now it's back. I told Mitchell I wouldn't be his ally and he didn't take it too good. As of now, he's not my friend. He's my enemy. I fear we're going to have a war on our hands."

" What are we going to do?" She asked. I shrugged my shoulders and sighed.

" I don't know. All I know is none of the Cullens' can face Mitchell and whoever he finds to support him and expect to survive. " She put her hand on my shoulder and smiled.

" That's why they have you. The guardian on their side."

" Yeah I guess. . . You know Lanina, you don't have to stay. This isn't your fight. You can go home and just continue with our practice."

" Oh, I'm staying and fighting right by your side Nol. But I also think you should come back and while everything's kind of quiet keep doing runs. I mean, it's what you do best."

" Hmm. . . I don't know."

" Our house is big enough for all of us. Every last member of the Cullen family can move in with us. I mean, we're all going to want to fight with you." I nodded my head, knowing it was true.

" You think they'd even want to?" I asked her.

" Of course we want to! You're part of our family Isabella and we want to help you." Alice spoke up out of nowhere. I turned around, there was a smile on her face but I could see the worry in her eyes.

" Alright. Tell your family to pack." She grinned and ran up the stairs.

" Hey guys!" She yelled. I smiled softly and turned back to Lanina.

" You really think we can do this? Take on Mitchell and whoever he throws at us?" I questioned her.

" What's this? This worry and lack of self confidence-" Lanina replied. " Of course we can. Now go get dressed, I'll order the tickets." I shook my head in agreement and ran up the stairs. We could do this. We had to or else all we knew would be changed. I was a powerful part of the supernatural community now and I needed to accept the responsibility. Because not only vampires would be after me. . .
