BECOMING BELLA
This story was from a horrible dream I had. I have very, very vivid dreams. just ask my husband. It will speak of sexual torture, rape and blood letting, so if that isn't your thing, don't read. I woke up from this dream screaming and crying. Hope I can do it justice. in case you're wondering. My new favorite band is a K-pop band. If you have never listened to them, give them a try, several songs are in English, and they aren't bad on the eyes, either.
Thank you for reading.
Summary: Bella has been missing for 3 months, along with her boyfriend, Riley. Charlie has been going around Forks with fliers and trying to get information on the both of them. The last time he saw them were several months ago when Riley came to pick up Bella for their date. Charlie did not like that Riley 'kid' and didn't like Bella dating him, but they were both 18 and there wasn't much Charlie could do about it. For most of the story will be in Edwards Pov.
My name is Edward Cullen, I am a vampire as is my entire family. Last year a new girl started in our school, and I really liked her, but she ended up dating a different guy, named Riley Biers. I did not like the boy who was also vampire, he was rude and a jerk to Bella I tried to make her see but she ignored me. Now both of them are missing. I have a bad feeling about their disappearance.
Later that night, when my father came home from the hospital, where he works as chief of staff, he told me that Charlie Swan, Bella's father, came by the hospital asking about putting up fliers with pictures and information. He said Chief Swan looked really bad. Sad and older. Chief Swan is the chief of police in Forks, WA where we live.
I was worried about Bella. She was human and couldn't take care of herself around vampires, except for my family. No telling who Riley hung around with, at night.
Carlisle, my dad, was called into the hospital an hour later. Someone had brought in a young girl who was screaming and bleeding, but she would not talk to anyone.
Dad called me and asked if I could come to the ER and see if I could get anything off of 'the girl' which he said was Bella. If I still had a beating heart, it would have stopped right there. Bella is alive.
I excused myself and told my mother, Esme, what was going on. When I arrived at the hospital, I could hear Bella screaming, outside. I knew that scream it was the scream of transformation. Oh, dear God I knew Riley was dangerous I was angry now. Sweet Bella did not deserve this. I told Carlisle I could not hear Bella's thoughts. But I would come back tomorrow once she had settled down a bit. We did move her to a quiet room, before I left for home.
The next day I went to visit Bella and my dad. He gave me her room number; I went to see her. She was only moaning and whining a bit, but she could talk to me. I asked if she remembered what had happened to her. She said "no" I asked her if I could listen to her thoughts, she laughed and said, "I guess so" So I put her in a type of hypnosis. I asked her to try and remember the last thing before she arrived at the hospital. It wasn't something I wanted to see. She was with a guy, but it wasn't Riley. "Bella, who is the guy?" "Oh, that is James" Then she started remembering. Riley hung out with 3 other vampires, in a nest. Their 'leader' was James, his mate was Vicky and the other one was Larry. Riley was being rude to Bella and ignoring her. Fondling and kissing all over Vicky. Bella let James seduce her and they ended up sleeping together. Vicky got very angry and came at James with a knife, then Riley went to stop Vicky who then turned the knife on Riley, Bella then stepped in front of Riley and the knife went into Bella. Riley attacked Vicky then bit Bella to save her. Needless to say, it was a huge cluster fuck. I will have to go to the nest and find out who else was killed. Bella told me where the place was. All she remembered was that Riley killed Vicky. But she wasn't sure of anyone else. I would explain this to my dad and maybe have him or my brother Jasper go with me. Jasper has experience in fighting vampires.
The next day I visited Bella again. This time she was sitting up, in her bed, sobbing. She was upset about Charlie and possibly Riley. "Edward, where will I live?" "I will see if Carlisle will let you stay with us, I'm sure he will let you. You already know us, so it shouldn't be a problem". "Edward, I'm so thirsty" And with that I went to my dad. "Carlisle, Bella is thirsty, what can we do?" "I will take her a bag of blood to sip on, but we have to impress on her that this will be a one-time thing. Since she can't leave, yet"
I went back to Bella and explained what Carlisle was going to do for her, just this once. Bella grabbed my arm and asked if I would hold her. I climbed in the bed with her and did just that. I put my arms around her small frame and pulled her to me and held her. She sobbed most of the time. I turned on the TV just for kicks. And the first thing was about her and Riley's disappearance. She sobbed harder. I turned the TV off then.
"I'm an idiot for not listening to you or my dad, about Riley" "Sometimes love makes us do dumb things" "Yeah, but shit, I was really an idiot, why didn't I see Riley for what he really was?" "I wasn't in love with him, but I liked the attention"
"Bella? did you allow them to feed from you?" "I didn't actually allow them they just did it "She hung her head and nodded. They would stick me with an IV needle thing and let my blood drip in a cup and then drink it. "Bella! How could you?" " I was scared"
OK, yeah, I need to go find this nest of theirs and maybe get the Volturi involved. If they are still alive"
"Edward, I wish you wouldn't go I'm afraid for you" I don't want to lose you too." " I like you. Even though I never showed it, I do"
The next day Bella was discharged from the hospital. I picked her up and took her back to our house. I had Alice sneak into her house and grab some of her clothing and such. So, she would at least have some of her old things. Alice even grabbed Bella's strawberry shampoo from the bathroom.
When we arrived at my house, Bella sobbed when she saw Esme and ran to her, and they embraced for a while. Esme asked "Bella, sweetie, how are you feeling?" "I'm not sure, Esme, this is all so strange." And I miss my dad" and Bella hung her head. "What have I done to him?" "He won't ever get over this" "Bella lets write him a letter and tell him you and Riley ran off and are living in Canada. You are 18 so there isn't much he can do. At least that way he won't think you are dead, But I am dead! Bella yelled and then walked off, towards Alice's room.
"Bella you will be staying with me, in my room" "Edward?" "it's OK, mom set it up that way" Bella looked at Esme with surprise in her eyes. Esme just nodded and smiled.
That night Bella was nervous. She had always dreamed of being in Edwards bed, but for other reasons. Now it was nothing. They didn't sleep and he was mad at her for the choices she had made. The wrong choices she made had turned her into the one thing Edward hated, being a vampire. Even though he was one, he hated vampires and what they represented.
Alice came into Edwards room and handed Bella her clothes and shampoo. Bella smiled but sobbed. They hugged. I heard Alice say that Charlie was in bad shape. She heard him talking out loud asking "Bella, why? What could I have done differently?" "Why did you leave me?" "Please call me and let me know you are alright, I love you and I won't be mad, I swear" I nodded my head, so Alice knew I heard her, but I also put my finger to my lips not wanting Bella to know. It would make her feel worse. "And Edward, yes, Jasper will go with you tomorrow" And with that Alice skipped out of my room. Bella was still scared. She grabbed my arm "Edward, please be careful if you go there. If Larry, James, or Riley are still alive then they might attack you or Jasper" " I can't lose you it would devastate me"
"OK, I'm going to go jump in the shower, you can get ready, for bed." "Edward, we don't sleep, remember? She asked in a sarcastic way. "Yes, I remember I just thought you might want to get more comfortable is all. Bella smiled and nodded. She grabbed her normal sleeping attire and decided she wanted/needed a shower also. She walked in the bathroom, slid open the shower curtain and saw Edwards back and decided this would be the right thing. She stepped in the shower with Edward and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Bella?!" "I'm sorry, want me to leave?" "NO, you just I never thought you'd actually show yourself to me is all" I turned around to face Bella and saw the most beautiful sight, she was breathtaking, as usual, her hair had gotten longer and fuller, her face had filled out and was rounder. Her eyes were still a slight red but with a drop of brown, around the edges. I had to taste her lips. I leaned down and kissed her, she kissed me back. I 'heard' Bella think "damn I hope he wants to sleep with me, tonight, I've been wanting this for a while now" "I'm sure he doesn't want to touch me now that I've been with Riley and James, dammit, I'm an idiot" I forgot to release her from hypnosis. I don't think I will, I like being able to 'hear' her. I smiled and said, "ready for bed?" and we stepped out of the bathroom. I knew she saw that I wanted her. She looked at me and smiled a shy smile and hid her face behind her hair. I climbed in bed, sans clothing as did Bella. I started kissing her and she returned the favor. I ended up rolling over her and asked, "Is this alright?" and she nodded, and I 'heard' her say "hell yes, please", I've been waiting for so long" I smiled, I entered Bella with a hard thrust. She grunted. I smiled and said "Sorry" she smiled and said. "no need to be sorry, this is what I have wanted for a while now" We had sex all night, well almost all night. Bella started sobbing and so I stopped my ways. "Bella? Are you alright?" "Yes, just a little sad, sorry" "please don't stop." So, with that, I continued on my way. When the day started to brighten, we stopped, got up, and dressed. Bella had a letter to write. I was going to deliver said letter so Charlie would receive it in a day or two.
Bella sat at the dining room table with paper and pen. She started writing.
Dad,
I'm so sorry that I up and ran off. Riley and I decided we wanted to be alone. We have moved to Canada. I am fine, honest. I miss you, but this is what we, both needed. I will be getting a new phone and number. When I do, I will call you, please know I'm okay.
I Love you, Bella
She asked me about getting her a new phone and a Canadian number. And what about the post mark on the letter. I suggested we both run to Canada, Bella needed to feed and I'm sure she will love to run. She agreed with me. So, she put on a pair of sweatpants and a long sleeve shirt. A little something more comfortable to run and hunt in.
Jasper and I were going to go to Port Angeles, later. Alice had him doing stuff for her before we left. Bella was skeptical about hunting animals. I told her deer were easier to catch and were a good choice for sustenance. So, we said goodbye to Esme and took off out the dining room window. Bella laughed as we ran. She seemed to be enjoying herself. We caught the scent of deer about 100 yards from the house. We both stopped, and our bodies tensed and went into a crouching position. When they got closer to us. We both took off and each caught a deer. Bella was a natural. After she fed, she looked at her clothes and said "oops" she was covered in blood. "Guess I could have been less messy" "The more you do it, the less messy you will become"
We fed then continued on towards Canada. When we arrived, I ran into the nearest department store to grab Bella a clean shirt. She tore off her bloody one and I helped her put the clean one on. I wanted to devour her, sexually, right here in the woods. So, with that I had to make myself continue on. We ran to the nearest phone store, bought her a cheap, throw away phone and received a number. I asked about the post office and the salesgirl pointed out the way. We ran to the post office. Bella handed me the letter, to Charlie, not before kissing the envelope first. I went in and mailed the letter for her.
We ran back to the house, just in time for Jasper's return.
Before Jasper and I left I heard Alice say something to me. "Edward, when you get to the house you will find a room and, in this room, will be a box of several videos. One will have the name of a girl Izzy Swanson – whatever you do, DO NOT WATCH IT! I nodded my head. Why? I don't know anyone with that name, yes you do, it's Bella and believe me you do not want to watch it. I thanked Alice again and then Jasper and I took off to Port Angeles. Alice was thinking of runway items that is when I knew she saw what was on that video. It must be bad if she doesn't want me to see. I became anxious then. What in the hell is on that video and why can't I see it?
Alice stood next to Bella and hugged her. "They will be fine"
Jasper and I arrived in Port Angeles half an hour later. We found the house, easy enough. No one was there, that we could smell or hear. We knocked on the door, no one answered. We entered the house and proceeded to look around. I found the room that Alice must have seen. I gasped when I saw the room, it was a torture/sex room. I had a sick feeling that I knew what was on said tape. I found the box with the tapes and sure enough one said Izzy Swanson. I wanted to watch it, badly, but I didn't dare. I might see if Bella wants to watch it with me. My phone pinged I looked, it was Alice, and her message was short and sweat "No, do not let Bella watch it, she doesn't remember" Oh God now I really want to watch it.
We looked around but saw no one. Vampire nor human, so we left and headed back to Forks.
When we got closer to the house, we heard loud dance music, I actually liked the song. I heard Bella singing and laughing, so that made me smile. I had that dreaded tape in my pocket. I would hide it from Bella. I was bound and determined to watch it but would do so in private. I stopped before we took off for home to buy Bella some flowers. I bought her some Lilies. I hope she likes them.
When we walked inside the house, Alice, Emmett and Bella were dancing, singing and laughing. Bella had on one of her tank tops and a pair of boy shorts. He hair was up in a loose bun. I loved hearing her laugh.
They were singing " Baby I like the way you move around the place
and when you're dancing in my face
I just play it cool"
Monsta X / play it cool
The next song that came on drove into my chest
You're so beautiful that I have many enemies
It's like playing a game to protect the princess
Don't worry, I'm your man
I can be your hero
I will be your hero
Monsta X hero(use english subtitles if you watch this video, only a few lines are in English)
That is the way I felt. I want to be her hero. Save her from anything and everything. I walked up to Bella from behind, handed her the flowers, kissed her neck and hugged her. I whispered, "I Love you" and sat down to watch them continue dancing. She grabbed my hand and said "join us" but I shook my head. Alice looked at me then walked over to Bella and said "he's sad" I just glared at Alice, but she was right, I was a little sad and mad. I needed/ wanted to watch that video. Alice looked at me and shook her head I knew why but she still wouldn't show me. Damn her.
"Edward, said Alice, show the video to Carlisle and let him decide if you should watch the tape or not, I honestly don't think you should, I know you and your mind, you won't be able to watch it and stay calm" "OK, I will show it to Carlisle"
I Went to Carlisle's office, in the house and handed him the video. "I heard you tell Alice you wanted me to watch this, what is it?" The house, where Bella and Riley were staying has a sex/torture room and in it were tons of these tapes. According to Alice this tape is of Bella. Apparently, they changed her name to Izzy Swanson while she was there. Alice warned me not to watch it, so I wanted your opinion" "Edward, are you sure?" " it might have risqué things on it and Bella will be on the tape" "Yes, Carlisle I need to know what is on it. But Alice won't show me". "Maybe. that's a good thing, son." "Just watch it for me, please, you can always turn it off, if it bothers you" He agreed, so I walked out, closing the door behind me.
Bella was with Alice, in her room, they were doing each other's fingernails. I could see Bella chose a bright red polish and Alice did Bella's toes as well.
While standing in the hall watching Alice give Bella a mani, pedi I heard Bella scream, it wasn't present Bella, it was on the tape Carlisle was watching. I ran to his office. When I threw the door open, he turned the video off. "Carlisle, was that Bella, screaming?" "Yes, son, it was, and Alice is right, you do not want or need to watch this, it will tear you up inside" "they hurt her, badly" "She would have never survived without transformation" "oh God, Carlisle what did they do to her?" And she was still human?" "She was tortured and raped, and they did a bloodletting on her" I plopped down in one of his office chairs, almost breaking it I grabbed my hair, pulled said "fuck"
Bella came into the office. "Edward, Carlisle, what's wrong?" "Bella, babe, you don't need to be in here" "why?" "Edward, what is on that tape?" Carlisle spoke up "Bella, sweetie, you really don't need to watch it" "Yes, I do. I need to know what happened to me, please! " She begged so I said "only if I can be with you when you watch it. "Edward? Are you sure son?" It's bad
"Dad, if she's going to watch, then so am I. I want to be here to support her as she watches" With that Carlisle left his office then shut the door behind him. "Edward? do you think Rose will watch it with me?" "I can ask her" "Please" and Bella squeezed my hand. I asked Rose about watching the tape with Bella, Rose was apprehensive since similar things happened to her, then, she agreed to be by Bella "
"Bella, are you sure, you want to do this?" She grabbed my hand, "yes, Edward I need and want to watch. I want to remember" With that I started the video, but I started it over, from the beginning. The video started from the point Bella walked into that room, with Riley. Riley ripped Bella's clothes off then put Bella's arms over her head and hung her from the rafters in some chains, hanging down. Then he strapped her feet into the shackles on the floor. She was naked and spread eagle. Bella hung her head, and I asked if she wanted me to leave and she shook her head and said "no, please stay, if you can" She squeezed my hand she was holding. Riley stopped, then we could hear Vicky "What's the holdup?" "Finish what we planned" Shit this was a set up. Riley knew what was going to happen. I slammed my other hand down on Carlisle's desk and broke a chunk off of the edge. Bella jumped when I did that. I apologized. Riley shook his head and said "no, I can't, she hasn't done anything to deserve this" I agreed with that. Then Vicky walked over to Bella and slapped her, so hard, I thought her neck was broke. Bella flinched when she saw that. Then a handprint appeared on Bella's face. Vicky then kicked Bella's shin and then started choking her. We heard Bella gag and then James shouted, "STOP IT VICKY, NOW!" "The girl needs to be bled" With that Vicky stopped, James took a knife and sliced Bella's femoral artery. That is when Bella screamed. I wrapped my arm around Bella's shoulder and whispered, "Are you alright?" She nodded. They let the blood drain into a large container, then hungrily lapped it up, like the dogs they were.
The next thing was extremely hard for me to watch. Riley raped Bella she screamed again. He was not gentle. When James made him stop Bella had two broken ribs and bruises all over her body. She looked bad. She was black and blue all over. Including a black eye. By now Rose was growling, she was angry, as was I.
I honestly don't know how she survived. "Bella? do you remember any of this?" She nodded "yeah, a little. "Edward there were more humans there, not just me. I can remember hearing them scream too. Where are they?" " I don't know, no one was at the house when we got there."
"did you check the bottom floor?" "What bottom floor?" "didn't know there was one, but we never smelled any humans or vampires" "Edward, we need to go back and double check, please." "Bella, there wasn't anyone else there, if a human would have been there, I'm sure they would have called out to us" "Edward, please" Bella pleaded and begged. I crumbled and agreed to go back. She wanted to go also. But that, I was unsure of. What if going back there causes her more pain. What if Larry or James shows up and sees Bella? Then what? I asked Jasper if he'd go with us, again, and he said yes, he would. I asked Alice if she saw anything in our future going back to the house and she said no, everything looked clear. I took my cell as did Jasper just in case.
We rode to Port Angeles and arrived at the house. Again, no human or vampire smells. I knocked, again. Nothing, we opened the door. Bella hesitated at the threshold. I took her hand, she was shaking. Jasper took hold of her other hand and calmed her. She seemed to relax then. She took us to a small rug on the kitchen floor, threw it back and there was a hatch under that rug. She opened the hatch and that is when we were hit with the putrid smell of death. Bella gasped. We climbed down, leaving Bella standing there watching. We wanted to take a look first in order to warn Bella.
We realized why we never caught the smell before. There were old, wet, cinder blocks used to make the walls in the basement. That was done on purpose.
There were 5 dead humans. Ranging in ages from 10 to 15. Some male some female. It was gruesome. We could tell they did not survive the torture room. There were torn limbs and pulled fingernails. Some had teeth missing and there were bruises on all of them. I warned Bella not to come down, but Bella being Bella did the opposite and came down anyway. When she saw the faces of the dead she sobbed. I asked if she knew their names and she did. But she also said the baby sister of the 10yr old was among the missing. Jasper ran to the room and grabbed tapes of the names Bella remembered. She also said the name of the baby girl that was missing. Jasper had all 6 tapes. I hoped and prayed the baby girl had not been tortured and/or killed.
The Volturi needed to be informed. We decided to go back home and inform Carlisle and see if he agreed about informing the Volturi.
When we arrived home, Bella told me she wanted to go lay down, she was depressed, Jasper told me that Bella was beyond depressed. Even Jasper was feeling bad because of Bella. Alice met us in the hall and apologized for not giving us a heads up. She saw what we were going to walk in to. Then Alice took Jasper by his arm and they walked off to their room.
Bella went to our room and laid on the bed. Then I heard her say "I'm going to take a quick shower, I feel dirty"
I smiled because I thought about joining her in the shower. I 'heard' Alice "don't Edward, give her some time, she needs to cry, alone" So, I did as Alice suggested. Alice came to me, Edward go get Bella, she is down. I ran to my room, Bella was on the floor of the shower sobbing, loudly. Jasper came in my room and helped Bella relax. She didn't even care that he saw her naked.
Later that evening after I told Carlisle what we had seen. He agreed that the Volturi needed to be alerted. No telling how many other humans that group had injured or killed. Bella was in the bed, arms wrapped around her bent legs and rocking slightly, she was sobbing and saying, over and over "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, this is all my fault. If I would have listened to Edward or my dad, none of this would have happened. I went to Bella, wrapped my arms around her and whispered, in her ear. "Bella, none of this is your fault. You didn't get anyone killed. They, the four of them, were out to do this and nothing could have stopped them, please quit blaming yourself" She rolled in my arms, she was now facing me, she kissed me, I kissed her back, I became hard, quickly and she knew it.
She palmed my hardness and asked if we could have sex, I told her "No, but we can make love" She gasped and said "Edward?" "Bella, do you not remember what I told you when I handed you those flowers?" As I pointed to the still alive Lilies in the vase sitting on the desk in our room. She nodded her head. "OK then, I said I loved you, and I do. She sobbed harder. I lifted her face, so our eyes were locked. "Bella?" "Oh Edward, I only wish I would have treated you better, when we were still in school, I'm so fucking sorry, I'm an idiot" shh Bella, you are not an idiot. You were a young girl, still are, but you were a young, human teenager who sought out attention and sadly no one could have changed your mind. Believe me, I tried. I was falling in love with you, then, and have fell, hard. I'm not going anywhere. I'll be here for you if and when you need me to be. I'm just sorry I couldn't have saved you from what you endured with Riley and all. She hugged me, hard, then kissed me, harder.
We ended up making love for several hours. I heard Carlisle think my name. I smirked then apologized to Bella. I went to Carlisle's office but before I could knock, he said "come on in Edward" I went in he apologized for interrupting us. I smiled then hung my head. If I could have blushed, I would have. But with a houseful of perfectly matched couples, I shouldn't have been embarrassed, for some reason I was though. Carlisle said he was planning on going to Italy, soon, and wanted to know if Bella and I wanted to join him. I knew I did, wasn't sure about Bella though. He told me to go ask as he was going to be purchasing the tickets, soon. Jasper was also going to go.
I went back to Bella. Who was sitting up, in the bed, with the bed sheet covering herself. I told her what Carlisle and I talked about. Bella did want to go to Italy with us. So, I went in the hall and said, out loud, "Bella does want to go" I 'heard' Carlisle say "OK" then I went back to Bella, removed the sheet and exposed her beautiful nude body. Then We continued where we left off. We ended up making love until the sun came up the following day.
Neither one of us wanted to join the family. We wanted to stay in bed, all day, making love, but we had to make ourselves presentable. We groaned, in disapproval, got in the shower, continued to make love in the shower. I swear we made love the entire time we were trying to dry off and get dressed. I 'heard' Alice "God you guys, stop, enough, we know you love each other, but damn, give it a rest. You have the rest of your lives, sheesh" I rolled my eyes, Bella asked "What?" I told her what Alice was thinking. Bella giggled. That was a nice sound. She was smiling. We had proclaimed our love for each other and apparently that was what Bella needed.
Carlisle bought our plane tickets, for Italy. We would be leaving next week. I told Bella what to expect when we arrived at the castle. I told her about the main three before, but I wanted to make sure she remembered. I told her that Aro would hold her hand and see what had transpired in the house. He would ask her so her memories would be fresh. I told her not to be nervous, they were a lot older than we are and so they are slightly intimidating but basically harmless. She nodded her head in agreement. I heard Jasper asking if I needed or wanted to go hunting. I did, I asked Bella if she needed or wanted to go. She did. So, the three of us ran into the woods. I grabbed a mountain lion and Bella snagged 2 deer. Jasper found a lion, also.
On the way back, I noticed Bella was clinging to my arm. I asked if she was alright. She nodded but Jasper shook his head. He thought "no, Edward, she is extremely depressed, right now. She really needs your comfort. I picked Bella up and held her until we arrived back to the house. I then took us to our room and sat down on the bed, with Bella still in my arms. She was sitting in my lap. I moved her hair away from her face. "Bella, babe, please let me in, what is it?" "Edward, I've been thinking, am I your mate?" "I feel like I am, but you have never said, one way or the other." "Yes, Bella I believe you are" "Is that what has you so sad?" "I love you Edward, and I can't be without you" "i don't want you thinking I'm being too clingy" "I don't think that,Bella. I love you too" Bella stood up, walked over, closed the bedroom door, then removed her clothing. I did the same. We ended up taking a quick shower, to get the animal smell off of us. Then we ended up in the bed making love for the rest of the night and following day. We ended up marking each other. That was the best feeling ever. When Bella bit down on me I growled. I bit down on her and she mewled, like a small kitten. Now, when we arrive in Italy everyone will know she is my mate, and I hers.
Jasper had watched the video of the small child. She was not harmed, in any way, thanks to James. He refused to let Vicky harm the child. He wanted to keep her and raise her and give her an option as she got older. But Vicky was against that. According to Jasper, in the video he heard James say "We will give her back to her family"
That night when Carlisle came home, from work, he told me that Charlie had came by to take down all the fliers, that he had received a letter from Bella and she was OK and in Canada. He was hoping to hear from her, soon.
Bella, said "Dammit, I forgot to call him, she ran outside to call Charlie. I heard this "hello?" "DAD?!" "BELLA?!" "I"m so sorry I haven't called sooner, I've had my mind on other things, I'm so sorry for leaving like I did" "Bella, sweetie, are you pregnant, is that why you left, if so, I don't care, just come home" I heard Bella sob, slightly "Dad, please, I'm not coming home, anytime soon. Please understand" "I don't understand Bella, that's just it, can you help me understand?" Jasper came in the room. Edward, go get Bella, she is going to fall apart, any second. She is hurting, it is so bad it is making me hurt. So, I walked outside, grabbed Bella's arm and pulled her into my side. I rubbed her hair and neck. "Dad, I need to go, I'll try to call you later" "I love you" "Bella!, wait Can I call you at this Bella had hung up. I picked her up, like a baby. She put her head on my shoulder and sobbed. "what have I done to him?" "I'm a horrible daughter" I was patting and rubbing her back. "no you're not" "shh" "he won't ever understand. He has to be ashamed of me. And I'm sure he is embarrassed at work Thinking something bad had happened to me" "Bella something horrible happened to you" "yeah but he doesn't know that" "he thinks I'm a runaway" "Want to go for a run?" "That usually cheers you up?" "Edward, take me to bed,I want to make love all night" THAT makes me feel much better, and she smiled a sly smile. I sprinted to our room, We did make love all night. Until Carlisle made us stop to get ready for our flight.
Chapter 7
We arrived in Italy around 11am their time. Carlisle had informed Aro of our impending visit. So he would be expecting us. We had brought the tapes, as back up. Aro was surprised when he saw Bella, he didn't know we had added a new member to our family but he seemed impressed. "Edward, I see you now have a mate, as well. Are you going to introduce us?" "I'm sorry, Aro, this is Bella my mate, Bella this is Aro the leader of the Volturi kings" "nice to make your acquaintance, sir" "AH she is beautiful and polite as well, you have chosen well Edward" I can hear Aro but he has to touch us in order to know our thoughts.
He shook my hand, then stepped over to Bella, "May I?" and he reached for her hand, she glanced at me, I nodded and she reached towards Aro. He gasped and said "OH My your transformation was unexpected then. And not a nice way to go, I'm afraid" "You seem to be doing well my dear, "Any questions or problems?" "no, sir, and she curtsied to him. Aro laughed a short laugh. "my dear, you do not need to bow or curtsy to me. I am just an old man being curious of your visit. But I have a feeling I know why now." "Edward, would you show me?"
I handed Aro my hand, again, this time he took a minute to actually see what had transpired "MY, MY, MY. That is a problem. Who are these rouge vampires? Bella said their names, out loud. She didn't know their last names except for Riley. One, the woman, we believe was killed. We are unsure of the three males. Aro said "We will have to visit and see for ourselves. These men need to be dealt with, for sure" 'Thank you for bringing this to our attention" "And Bella I am sorry for what you had to endure, thank fully the Cullen family was there to help you acclimate.
I noticed Felix step towards Bella, she stepped one step back. I growled under my breath. Jasper placed a hand on my shoulder and I calmed down, instantly. Felix introduced himself to Bella. Bella looked so tiny in front of this man who is at least 6'7 if not taller. Bella is 5'4 So Felix is intimidating to say the least, but he was being friendly. He shook her hand, then kissed the back of it. I growled again. Felix glanced in my direction but smiled. He was being spiteful. He wanted Bella, and he knew I knew this. So he kept up the game. I walked over and said "She's mine", grabbed her arm and walked away. Aro caught this and told Felix to back off, so he did, this time I smirked at Felix. "He meant no harm, Edward" "We don't get many new people here, so new visitors are a nice change."
Aro ensured us that the rouge vampire men would be taken care of, and I believed him. Our flight back to Forks was tonight, so we headed to the airport to get on our flight. It was delayed for 2 hours. Bella led me to the bathroom and we had sex until they called our flight. When we walked out of the bathroom, Jasper was smiling, as was Carlisle.
Bella seemed calm. I asked Jasper and he nodded in agreement. She was calm and madly in love with me. Jasper said if he felt more love from her, he would jump my bones, and we laughed. Bella turned her head to see what I was laughing at. I just shook my head at her and she shrugged and kept walking. She was holding hands with Carlisle. She has replaced her need for a father on to Carlisle and she could not have chosen more wisely.
I want Bella to become a Cullen. But she can not be adopted since her father and mother are still alive. But maybe she will agree to become my wife.
While we were waiting to board our plane I asked Bella if Felix scared her. She said "no, he was nice, once we started talking, he was just asking me questions, like how long you and I had been mates, etc." "Did you tell him it wasn't any of his business?" "no, Edward I did not. I told him not long. "Bella, he likes you and if we hadn't mated, he would have tried to claim you" Bella smiled at that. "Bella?, really?" "What? He's nice and not bad looking, either" I walked away. Bella came after me, "Edward, are you jealous just because someone else would want me?" "Yes, Bella I am jealous, I'm sorry but you are too beautiful and I'm so afraid someone will catch your eye" She reached up with her hand, held my cheek and said "Don't be. Someone already caught my eye, you, silly. I love YOU I'm not going anywhere, I promise"
When we arrived we were greeted by Alice she was smiling from ear to ear teeth showing and all. She was excited about something then I saw it. A glorious wedding. Bella walking down the aisle with my other brother, Emmett walking with her. Then I saw myself in a nice tux and both sides of the aisles full of guests. I smiled. And nodded a quick nod to Alice then I heard Alice "ask her tonight!" I don't have a ring "Ask Carlisle, he has one you can give her"
I went to my dad's office "Carlisle, I need to ask you something, are you busy?" "no son, come on in, what's on your mind?" "I'm thinking of asking Bella to marry me, Alice said you might have a ring I can use?" "it's your ring, son, it's your mother's old ring. It was in her possessions from the hospital. He went to get the ring. I had forgotten about my mother wearing that ring. But I did, once I saw it again, remember seeing it on her finger. I believe my father gave it to her on one of their anniversaries.
I went to our room, Bella was in the shower. I heard her singing rather humming something. I was glad to hear her sounding a bit more happy. I heard the water turn off. Then I heard her wrap the towel around her body. Mmmmm, her gorgeous body. Just thinking of her naked and wet had me all hard and ready to pounce on her. But, I take a pause, I will wait.
She came out of the bathroom, stepped into the room, and said "Edward, close the bedroom door, please." I did as she asked. Then I took her hands and sat her on the bed. "Edward, can I get dressed, first, or do you want to devour me now?" "I want to do more than devour you" and I smiled So she sat there still in a towel. I asked "Bella how would you like to become a Cullen? She widened her eyes "What do you mean?" "Like for them to adopt me, like they did you guys?" "No, that wouldn't work since both of your parents are still alive" "Then how?" and she stopped,looked at me and said "Edward?, what is going on?" I opened the box and showed her the ring, "Will you marry me, Bella?" She slung her arms around my neck "YES, YES, YES!" I stood up, with Bella still swinging from my neck and kissed her and swung her around while holding her waist.
So, you shall be Isabella Marie Swan Cullen. "no I will be Bella Cullen – I'm going to be Bella again and that makes me so fucking happy. YOU make me happy "Edward, I love you so much." "Bella, I love you too, I'm just so sorry I wasn't there for you when you needed me the most" She put her finger to my mouth "Shh don't worry about that now. The past is in the past, and I'm good. I'm so good, right now.
