Another shitty chapter. It's short and I'm sorry about that. I just couldn't leave it for so long again. Here's a chapter from kind of Rosalie point of view. Tell me if you guys want me to hurry up the relationship between bella and rosalie lmao
"I glow the way unwanted things do
A neon sign that reads;
Come, I taste like someone else's mouth ." - Warsan Shire
Rose
"She's terrified of him," Rosalie mutters, careful eyes always watching, golden brows furrowed. "Look at her body language."
They watch as Bella flinches away from his hands, gets up and walks away, away from him and his sneering smile and sharp teeth.
"What did he do to her?" Emmett mutters, lip curling. "I'll kill him."
"She-" Jasper groans, irritated, "she blocks off her emotions somehow, I can't get a read on her."
"We just have to wait for her," Alice sighs, "She'll open up eventual-" Alice cuts off abruptly, gold eyes flashing black, mouth open in shock.
"Alice?" Carlisle worries, standing and walking towards her with a millennia of patience and fear in his steps. "What did you see?"
Alice's eyes lock onto Bella, and Rosalie feels utter fear close up in her chest, her hands start to shake.
"Victoria."
…
"You'll be okay." Rosalie whispers, fear choking her voice, earthquakes and tsunamis erupting in her limbs. She grips Bella tighter. "I'll kill her, I swear to God."
Bella lays in her arms, feeling Rosalie's shoulder against her cheek, hears her lungs in her chest. Rosalie wants to know what she's thinking, how she's feeling.
"Don't be scared, Rose." Bella sighs, reaching up to stroke Rosalie's perfectly carved jaw. "I knew this was coming."
Rosalie's face morphs into one of bewilderment. Trying to ignore the warmth sparking along her collar bones. "Victoria will not lay a single finger on you. I swear my life on it."
Bella sighs, taking her hand back and tries to catch Rosalie's eyes. "I have something to tell you, Rosalie."
Rosalie squeezes her eyes shut, wondering how it's possible that this silly human in her arms isn't scared about her demise. "And what is that, lovely?"
She feels warm fingers on her mouth, and she opens her eyes to a lopsided smile and eyes that tell a thousand sad stories, tell of a million deaths and wars. Her smile, though, is sly and seductive.
Rosalie promptly shuts her eyes again. She did not need this right now.
"Hey," Bella whispers, lips far too close to the lobe of her ear. "Look at me."
Complying, Rosalie groans, trying to ignore the tingling in her stomach. "Feeling brave today, aren't we?"
"Well," Bella bites her lip, "Seeing as my death is a real possibility soon," Rosalie's eyes widen at the sight. "I might as well tell you…"
"Tell me what?"
Bella brings her forehead to touch Rosalie's. "I think you're beautiful."
Bursting out in a laugh, Rosalie says, "This is the time you choose to compliment me?"
Bella sits back, frowning. "No better time than the present." She interlaces their fingers together. "I don't ever want to regret not telling you something."
Rosalie stares at their hands, steeling herself. "You won't die, Bella."
"You don't know that."
"No." Rosalie clenches her teeth. "You don't understand." She licks her teeth for emphasis. "I will be the one to change you, in the event that your life is in peril."
Bella gasps. "But you said-"
"I know what I said." Rosalie places her lips at the corner of Bella's lips, hearing the delicious thump of her heartbeat beat faster. "But things have changed."
…
"So what do we do?" Esme whispers, watching a sleeping Bella. "How do we keep her safe?"
"Watch our backs." Jasper explains, feeling one of his scars. "That's all we can do. We don't know what Victoria's plans are. Our only knowledge is that she seeks revenge for James."
Rosalie feels like falling into the ground, she can't move, can't think. How was it only a day before that she was reading Bella a story to help her fall asleep? How do things go wrong so quickly?
Alice, combing through Bella's hair, speaks, and she has guilt and terror on her tongue as she does. "I'll- I'll call Charlie, I'll tell him that I wanted Bella over for a while."
"Will he agree to let her stay over for so long?" Carlisle wonders, flicking through news channels, trying to see if there are any traces of Victoria.
Alice pauses for a minute, and then comes to. "Yes, he should."
"What am I supposed to do?" Edward hisses, crossing his arms.
Unfurled rage builds in Rosalie, and it explodes in fire and hatred. "Leave her the fuck alone! Go back to Denali and fuck Tanya some more!"
His face twists into something ugly, spider web cracks appearing around his eyes. "How dare you! I would never-"
Rosalie flings herself over the table, teeth aimed for his neck. Of course, he catches her.
"Enough! Both of you!" Emmett growls ripping Edward's hands off of Rosalie. "Bella is in danger and you two can't forget about your differences for three seconds!"
Eyes black, venom foaming out of his mouth, Edward seethes, "the bitch is trying to steal my mate from me!"
Rosalie opens her mouth to retaliate, a thousand insults on her tongue, but Emmett speaks and it dulls the sharp edge of her tongue.
"She was never you mate to begin with."
Appalled, Edward runs out of the house.
They don't see him for days.
…
"He's crazed." Jasper explains. Light illuminating the scars on his face, accentuating his grief.
The family turns to him, leaving their thoughts on Rosalie and Bella interacting with each other out in the sun.
"I can't find him anymore under the bloodlust."
"What do you mean?" Esme whispers, eyes shining with tears she won't ever be able to shed.
"I mean," He feels Alice grab his hand. He squeezes gratefully in support. "I mean he isn't Edward anymore. Vampires and their singers aren't meant to live in harmony. He's gone insane from the thirst. There is no rationale in him anymore. Only vampiristic instincts. He wants to kill, torture, and maim her." Jasper doesn't say that he thinks Edward already has. He doesn't say it because he doesn't have enough evidence but he doesn't miss the way how similar Bella and 1933 Rosalie feel now. Venom pools in his mouth. He hopes he's wrong.
"Regardless, it's dangerous for Edward to be around Bella and Rosalie anymore."
"Did he mean it?" Emmett asks, watching Rosalie with pain. "Is Rosalie…"
"Yes. Bella and Rosalie are true mates."
Emmett grimaces. "Is Rose happy? Do they make each other happy?"
Jasper winces from the guilt oozing out of Emmett. "Rosalie is Bella's safe haven. The amount of love and happiness I feel from them both is something I haven't seen them experience before."
Emmett sighs, looks back at them. He allows a smile to come to his face.
"That's all I wanted for them."
…
"What do we do about Edward?"
"We have to make a decision."
"Do we want to allow him in our home anymore?"
