Edwards pov

I blinked slightly as a "no" echoed through out the parking lot at least to me it felt like it was so loud I'd be flown away.

All I wanted was to protect her. It was the only thing that was in my mind well that and the vision that kept replaying in my head over and over and over.

I wanted to pick her up and lock her away from anything that could harm her anything that could take her away from me. I don't know why but I needed to protect her.
Her voice blasted me out of my panicked thoughts.

"not until you tell me what's going on" She wrapped her arms together.
I would have smile at the pout the she thought was a glare if it wasn't for her thoughts of ruining everything her mind was scattered and hectic.

I wanted to caress her cheeks, kiss the built up tear that hadn't fallen yet.
But instead I settled for a slight touch to her shoulder and lies.
They spewed out before I could even react.

Alices trauma her keeping it a secret.i don't know why I lied in such a ridiculous manner but I just couldn't help it.

it wasn't till i saw the relief in her eyes that i knew why. i couldn't have her hurt, i couldn't have her blaming herself.

the ride to her house filled me with euphoric relaxation. her smell warped through the car giving me an almost buzzed daze feeling.

i laughed as she sang to a pop song that boomed in the car. she smiled my way dancing a me laugh even more.

a feeling of dejection filled my core when i dropped her off.

"Thank you" safiyahs soft gently voice said."for giving me such an amazing first day".

if only she knew this was one of the best days i've had for a while.

"Your welcome". i stare at her brown big amorous eyes. it felt like forever that we stood like statues.

what was i doing? i thought just as my phone ringed. i felt a clenching feeling in my chest realizing that it was Bella calling.

My bella.

Had I betrayed her in a way. yes i had, safiyah was the only thing on my mind the whole day since the moment my eyes met hers. anger flashed to my core as i bid Safiyah a farewell. deciding not to look back at the women who was probably watching me depart.

It wasn't till later that i found myself at Bella's house once again.

quietly she opened her window to me. my eyes blackened as the smell of another vampire filled my nostrils.

sniffing slightly Bella gives me a look " i know i smell like dog".

"no" i whispered walking around spotting the dream catcher on her bed i caress it slightly .

how cute of the dog.

"someones been in here " i tell her. right before a knock at the door interrupts our dilemma. leaving through the window i hide in the tree next to the house listening in .

Hi Bella spoke nervously "come in"

"I wanted to say sorry about leaving early there just some stuff I have to take care of" Bella told her feeling guilty that she left Safiyah without a goodbye.

"Do you smell that"? Safiyah questioned ignoring Bella's statement.

I frown at this, could she smell him too? I think back to 5th period when she saw the mark on my forehead no human could ever see the scars of an vampire unless they themselves weren't human.

could safiyah be hiding something. going into her room my eyes widen at the intensity of the smell that impregnated the room. it was as if the bloodsucker rolled around on everything in safiyahs room. turning to head outside I catch a glimpse off a picture on her dresser. it was a couple one being native and another African American. the couple looked happy.

but what really caught my attention was the tribe tattoo on the mans shoulder.

getting back in Bellas room I make her aware of safiyahs ability to smell said vampires. i tensed up at the possibility that in one way or another I could be safiyahs enemy.

safiyah was innocent she was good. i didn't want her to get entangles in our mess but based on Alice's vision she was in it already.

"We have to go talk to my father " I demanded to Bella who just nodded in fear.

At my house we all grouped up about who this vampire that trampled through Bella's house without a care could be.

Victoria?

Volturi?

Maybe a nomad?

but to know avail we still ended up with confusion built up in our beings.

"you cant protect me and watch my dad and search for the intruder". Bella spoke "and what about Safiyah"?

Carlisle eyebrows raised at this."did something happen" he questioned looking at me for answers.

"she smelt them too" i answered honestly "she also seemed to have enhanced vision as well, she saw the scar on my forehead".

"is she a threat" Rosalie questioned annoyance passing through to her voice. "no" i spoke grinding my teeth slightly feeling anxious just speaking of this.

"I-I saw a picture of maybe her parents the dad seemed to have a tribe tattoo on his shoulder".

"then they can deal with her" Rosalie spoke harshly.

"no, we will protect her" I yelled slamming my fist to the glass table. completely shattering jumped and gasp were heard around me.

the thought of them mutts even touching her made me want to spit.

She was mine, mine to protect.

Mine Mine Mine

"Edward" Bella voice broke me out of my mantra. it was then that i realized that i'd lost my cool.i wasn't usually like this i was the one that was cool and collected.

what was happening?

taking an unneeded breath I relax slightly . turning I give Bella a shaky smile "i'm sorry I...I overacted i just... don't want anyone getting hurt in the cross fires." I spoke calmly she touched my shoulder comfortingly.

"don't worry, we will protect her as if she was our own" my mother spoke sincerity in her voice . Everyone else agreed with Esme. Alice gave me a blank stare but nodded nonetheless agreeing with Esme.

"Anyways we have help" Bella said hesitantly. "what" i looked at her.

"we-we have the wolves to help."

Au: so guys i want y'all to know that for right now the story is slowly building up. I'm taking things slow but i also do want you to know this story will get more intense as i go along and it will become more on the mature side. my brain can't really be contained when it comes to my creativity and i can at times be dark.
