Thanks to Twilightladies. She even knows the chapter number better than me.

Chapter 29

The Words

Edward shivered visibly. I thought that he was finally giving in.

He realized that there was no way for him to leave unharmed.

I leaned closer to him.

"What do we have here? Nothing but a rude boy who needs to be taught some manners," I said coldly.

"Will you kill me?" Edward asked; his expression gave away that he was in pain, but not psychical, since I didn't inflict it yet. "Please do it quick."

"Is that you wish for?" I asked, not really interested in an answer. "Sorry, boy, it would be too easy."

His eyes widened. He tilted his head to look at Carlisle, he was searching for some help or sympathy at least.

Carlisle sighed. "The Whitlocks house, the Whitlocks rules," he said sadly.

I smiled, pleased by his choice of words.

"Now, back to business." I appraised him, enjoying his fear and discomfort. "Since you made no move to harm me, to attack me and hadn't touched what's mine, I think I will leave your limbs as they are," I said.

His pupils were as wide as tunnels.

That's right, boy, you should be terrified.

"What I didn't like were your words. I found them arrogant and well, boring," I continued calmly. "I tried to warn you but you were stubborn enough to ignore it."

He didn't get anything yet, confusion still clear on his face.

"And I decided that I didn't want to hear your babbling anymore," I stated. "Say something," I ordered.

The surprise on his face was clear and evident.

"Just say something, anything, because you won't do it again."

"What-" he started to speak but I cut him off.

"Thank you," I said.

Then I grabbed his jaw, applied the pressure on right spots.

He opened his mouth.

Then I removed his tongue.

Thank you.
