Knocking On Heavens Door

by FFTC Writes

Dazed from a brutal attack, Edward stumbles through the streets until he sees a welcoming light from Bella's window. Will knocking on this stranger's door give him the help and healing he needs?

35. Thirty-Five

There was a loud crack that came from the house. Several of the windows had been broken, we were told to stay behind the line of cars to keep safe. The swat team was ready to charge into the house when they were given the signal.

We saw something no one was expecting. James and Mike walked out with Carlisle and Esme.

"In exchange for these two, we'll take him." James was pointing to Edward.

"You have a deal, James. Now let them go." Before any of the officers could stop him, Edward had charged through the barricade. My heart leapt into my throat.

They pushed his parents out of the way as they took him back into the house. I wanted to crumble to the ground, but I knew that would not benefit any one.

I walked over to the ambulance to see if his parents were relatively fine. They pulled me into a bone crushing hug.

"He loves you both so much."

"I know he does, Bella. I knew he'd do the right thing," Esme replied. "He'll be coming out any moment."

I focused on seeing that smile again.

Then the swat team was signaled.
