Unfaithful
Chapter One - The Lingering Look
How we managed to survive the attack against Victoria and Riley's army, I wasn't sure, up until an hour ago the task in its self seemed impossible. I spent the night in the tent between Edward and Jacob, the two people I had come to love most in this world and all I could think about was the possibility that this might be our last night alive. Neither of them knew the magnitude of the love I had in my heart for them, I loved them both differently yet loved them both at the same level.
Edward knew my heart like it was his own, if mine broke he felt it ache within his own breast. There was no one else in the world I wanted more than him, every time I looked at me him I craved him more and more. He knew what I wanted and I knew what he feared would be the outcome of our desire. I didn't fear death nor did I crave it, I wanted immortality and a life with Edward.
Then there was Jacob, I didn't love him like a girl would love a rebound. Jacob didn't come second to Edward, there was no comparing the two of them to each other for I loved them so differently. People could say what they wanted about my feelings for Jacob, I loved him unconditionally as any friend would who had endured what we had together. We had faced death together and he had breathed air back into my body.
I stood at Edward's side as Jane and the others spoke amongst themselves and I tried my best to focus on their conversation. But I didn't want to be there, I was terrified of each of the Volturi, and I think Edward was coming to realize this. His hand was on the small of my back and inch by inch, second by second I found myself drifting behind him. Edward happily tucked me further behind him and out of sight of them.
I knew Edward and the Cullen's had seen red eyes for centuries, in the eyes of their friends and enemies but for a human, looking into the red eyes of someone who wanted you dead, I could imagine it got any more terrifying.
I forced myself to look anywhere but at Jane and other others, Jane seem to take hold of the conversation, making her rank to the others clear, she was the one doing the talking and giving the orders. She was so petite in stature, I was almost taller than her and yet I feared her.
I looked to my side and found my eyes meeting Emmett's in that moment. He was looking right back at me, his face stern and unreadable. He wasn't terrified, he wasn't in the least bit scared and I understood exactly why. Emmett was the strongest vampire of the Cullen family. Alice, Edward, and Jasper had their gifts and Carlisle had his immeasurable self control and discipline.
But Emmett, he had his strength, he was a brute animal when it came to fighting. He only cared for his survival not about his technique.
My eyes left his and looked over to Rosalie who stood between Esme and Alice at the front, Emmett was behind Edward and I and behind him were Jasper with the girl who had suronderred during the fight or so I was told.
I looked back at Emmett who had to looked in the direction of Rosalie but his eyes quickly returned to mine and my mouth opened slightly as they did. I didn't know why our eyes lingered only that Emmett didn't want to seem to want to stop.
Edward moved ever so slightly beside me and I breathed him in, remembering myself and brought my attention back to him and gripped onto the back of his shirt. Although I couldn't know for sure, I could sense Emmett's eyes were still on me.
I shifted uncomfortably hoping to send him some sort of signal that whatever he was doing was making me so. The way he looked at me, his eyes had more than lingered, he was looking at me with hunger.
Perhaps that was the reason, it was after the fight he required blood and I was simply reading too much into it. I couldn't believe I had allowed myself to become so distracted when the Volturi remained in front of us. They were hungry too, hungry for information that also included why I was still human when we had given them our word that it wouldn't be the case for much longer.
They knew what had happened here, they could sense the truth we were trying to keep hidden from them and none of them cared for our lies and why should they? I should have been made a vampire a long time ago and I seemed to be the only one aware of this.
If I was a vampire then it would keep the Volturi, off our backs and stop their questions, Alice would no longer have to stay focused on Aro's thoughts and she could go back to living her immortality. Didn't Edward realize the risk he was taking by keeping me human? He had hit the pause button on his families lives and mine.
I understood that things would change drastically when I became a vampire and I would have to say goodbye to my human life forever.
Didn't Edward see it in my eyes that there was no world without him?
I looked over Edward's shoulder returning my eyes to Emmett who was now looking forward and away from me. He looked different today, his hair seemed darker in this light and his clothes for the fight weren't his normal style but complimented him well. Especially around his shoulders, his large shoulders that his jacket seemed to hug tightly. I looked down at hands to find clenched fists, he always seemed ready for a fight.
I wondered if Emmett had thought what I would be like as a vampire. Had he pictured me as one? Did he even think of me at all? Probably not, he was always busy like the rest of his family just trying to keep me alive. Emmett seemed the type of person who would instruct me well as a vampire, but not about self-control like Edward would have to someday. Emmett seemed the type who would push me to my limit and maybe even beyond it. I wanted to have the strength he did, I wanted to fight the way he did, jump on speeding cars like him, and one day hold Edward's attention the same way he had held onto mine.
The longer I looked at Emmett the more I wanted him to look my way again but he did not. He was focused on the Volturi, on the enemy, the people who would bring harm to his family. He wanted to kill them, I could see that in his eyes and I wanted to see him do it. If I had been alone with him and just the Volturi I wouldn't have stopped him, he would have taken some beating but in the end I believed he'd take them out.
I shook my head at my own thoughts, I didn't sound like myself, I had been injured and I hadn't eaten anything all morning. I wasn't comfortable with my own thoughts.
Before I knew it, before I could say a word about it, Jane had given the order for the newborn vampire to be killed. There wasn't anything I could say or do about it, I was human and Jane would be the death of me.
I kept my head next to Edward's shoulder as the girl began to scream.
But as her life was taken my eyes met Emmett'
