Tianna's POV
Furro's husky voice was soothing me as I laid on the cream bed spread. "I miss you Ti, but I hope to be back soon," he sounded tired and aggravated.
"I miss you to!" I cried back into the phone for the millionth time. "Please! Just come back!" He started talking again but my attention was turned to next door to where Bella and Edward were arguing in very soft tones.
Even with my enhanced sense of hearing I had to tell Furro that I would be right back as I set the phone on the bed and walked out of the room into the hallway where I could hear better.
"Do you love Quil?" Edward asked that. His voice masked anger and sadness, I bet to Bella it sounded just plain and unemotional but I could hear the pain in his words. Quil. Quil? How do I know that name? Oh! That's the wolf boy Bella was living with! She loved him?! No, no, Edward said we had to rescue her from him, that he was keeping her hostage. I had left notes in Bella's room for her to let her know Edward was coming to save her that he loved her, so she wouldn't give up.
I heard a tear drop hit the floor, obviously Bella's, then she spoke. "He helped me, he showed me forgiveness and love when I couldn't even take my mind off of the fact that I had been the cause of Jake's death." Her words confused me. He showed her love? He kidnapped her from Edward! He held her hostage and kept her from her true love! He showed her love?! What! And she was the cause of Jacob Black's death? Edward killed him. He killed him so that he wouldn't be able to take Bella, like Quil had! Did she blame herself for the death of a mutt that was trying to hurt her?!
"Okay." Edward said. He sounded decided about something, I listened to Bella for a moment and could hear the covered sobs coming from her, and if I could hear them I don't know how Edward could stand listening to his love cry like that. But then I heard footsteps, very soft footsteps that only a vampire could make, with grace and perfection. Edward was walking out of the room. After about the third step Bella's louder footsteps trailed after him.
"Edward?" Bella's voice rang from behind the door, she was pleading him for something, maybe not to leave? But she was also asking a question, maybe what are you doing? Or what do you think of what I said? I couldn't tell. But then I heard Edward's hand on the doorknob and I ran down the hallway and started to slowly walk back to my room. As if I hadn't been there at all.
I watched as the vampire that I had spent so much time with when I as first changed. His family taught me that life as a vampire could be more than just darkness. They showed me how to play "baseball" and how to run with my new speed. Carlisle explored my talents and explained why I had green eyes and didn't drink blood. Rosalie was the only one I hadn't gotten along with; she said I was a poor excuse for a vampire and much more that I can't even remember. Emmett and Alice had said it was only because she was jealous of my beauty but I couldn't see how. She was amazingly gorgeous, more so than me; I think she just had a stick up her ass.
I wondered sometimes why Edward had left them, but I didn't ask him about it, grateful that Furro and I could stay with him in this amazing castle and that he would teach my love how to curve his appetite. I don't think I could stand watching another innocent human die on his hands. The blood red of his irises started to become haunting like a reminder of his lost purity.
Edward had said he would start training as soon as Furro got back from Maine or wherever he was.
I watched as I walked down the hallway as Edward's nimble fingers turned the key in the lock of Bella's bedroom. He looked upset that he had to do this but the guilt quickly faded from his face into pure rage.
"Edward. Why are you locking Bella in?" I asked trying to sound cheerful and uninterested.
"I'm not I am keeping others out." He stated not looking at me and started towards the stairs away from me.
"Edward?" I asked, running swiftly to his side where I laid a hand on his arm. He looked at me for a second and the loving expression that resides in his almost caramel eyes when he looks at Bella flickered for a moment then turned back to stone. "What happened?"
He thought for a moment, and looked to me motioning towards the cozy great room. I followed his lead and sat in front of him on the white polar bear skin rug. I crossed my legs and looked up to him from the floor.
He sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "It's Bella." I wanted to roll my eyes. Duh.
"Okay," I prodded.
"I think she loves Quil. I think I left her there too long. She wants him." Each of his words were picked carefully. I noticed he didn't say she doesn't want me. I thought over his words, none of this made sense why would Bella love Quil after what he did to her? How could she want him? Unless…
"Edward?" I asked he lifted his head and looked into my eyes, sadness and anger now loomed in his eyes, he wasn't masking anything. I took a deep breath and started. "Edward, did Quil really kidnap Bella?"
His sadness seemed to evaporate, anger fired in his eyes. "YES! Of course he did! He took her from me!"
"Then why would she love him?!" I shot back. There was something going on here.
"I- I" he screamed and his voice lowered. "I don't know," his large hands covered his hands. "I just don't know anymore." He sighed and his frame started rocking back and forth.
I sighed. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe she did just fall in love with her kidnapper. That makes the most sense I guess. I mean why would Bella go gallivanting off to stay with a werewolf?
"I'm sorry Edward. I didn't mean to upset you." I said laying a comforting hand on his shoulder before getting off of the floor and walking back to my room. As I walked in I remembered Furro was still on the phone. I ran to it and put it to my ear.
"Honey?!" I yelled into the phone. The mindless beeping came from the other side. He hung up. I sighed and threw it down. Now I have to wait for him to call back. Damn him for not taking Edward's advice and taking a cell phone.
I heard cries from the room next to mine and sat up deciding to go talk to her about things and hopefully straighten this all out. I walked back into the hallway and knocked on her door lightly.
"Go away Edward!" she yelled from the other side of the door.
"No, Bella, it's Tianna." I said comfortingly. I heard her shift from her position in front of the door she sniffled a little and then spoke again.
"I'm locked in," I did roll my eyes this time.
"I've noticed," I said sarcastically.
"Oh, sorry," she mumbled.
"No problem let me find a key." I heard her walk as close to the door as she could and whisper something but I missed it.
I put my ear to the door this time, "Bella say that again."
"Don't let Edward see you." She whispered into the door. I was going to ask why but decided that I would ask when we could talk face to face and not on either side of a door.
I reached onto my tiptoes and brushed over the top of the doorframe for a possible key. None were there. I sighed, of course this is going to be difficult.
I walked around the little hallway for a minute searching under and in the hallway desk drawers, no keys. I sighed again and ran my fingers through my long hair.
I walked aimlessly to the great room and looked around; Ferreth's power would be useful right now I thought to myself, thinking of the vampire man I had met on a trip to visit the Volturi, he could make inanimate objects appear out of thin air. I walked over to the grandfather clock that was in the corner chiming another hour. I looked at myself in the reflection and something shining caught my eye. I searched in the refection and found that something was shimmering on the couch's surface.
I turned and saw the source of the bright light. The chandelier's artificial light had caught the surface of a key. I smiled, it must have fallen out of Edward's pocket. That was easier than I thought.
I went and picked it up suppressing the need to squeal girlishly and half ran half skipped back to Bella's door.
"Bella?" I asked whispering. I heard a shuffle of feet and then her voice,
"Tianna?" she sounded a little scared.
"Yeah it's me, can I come in?"
"Please," she said and I heard her back away from the door.
I slid the key into the lock and it fit perfectly, and easily turned as my fingers twisted it. I heard the small click and opened the bedroom door.
Bella's face was red from crying and she had dark circles underneath her gorgeous brown eyes. With her abnormally pale skin and dark circles she looked more like a vampire than I did sometimes. Her hair was twisted into a messy bun at the nape of her neck and a few pieces fell in front of her face. Exhaustion clouded obviously around her and even her light smile as she walked towards me with her arms open for a hug looked tired. She looked pathetic, compared to how I saw her days ago on the floor in Edward's arms.
I shook my head. What has happened to you? I thought to Bella not wanting to ask it out loud. I pulled her into a hug and picked her up into my arms like a frail child as she collapsed against me.
"Bella? What's wrong?" I asked her sitting down on one of the reading chairs. Her head rested against my shoulder and the rest of her was in a ball leaning on me. I couldn't help but think of her as the little sister I never had, like someone I had to protect, someone I wouldn't let be hurt.
She shook her head as even more tears fell from her eyes. I watched a single glistening tear roll down her face, I disliked crying, only because I could do it and Furro can't. It showed weakness I didn't want, it showed that I was less vampire than some. People tell me it's an extraordinary gift that I have being able to appear human and eat normal food and sleep, but I saw it as a curse, something that put me apart.
Bella cried silently in my lap as I rocked her like you would a small toddler. "Bella please tell me," I pleaded. She looked up at me through her long eyelashes that were held together by tears. She inhaled a shaky breath and nodded sitting up.
I helped her to the couch so she didn't have to sit on my lap. She crumpled into the decorative pillows. A silence covered us for a moment before she began.
"There isn't anything for me to live for anymore. Everything I love and want has either died or is not anywhere close, and it's all my fault," She began to sob again. Her fault? How is anything her fault? I thought to myself shaking my head as I watched her clutch her torso.
"Bella, that's not true. You have Edward and me and so many others." I tried to make her see but what I mentioned made her cry harder.
"No," she choked out. "I don't love Edward like I used to, he took me from Quil and killed Jacob, my best friend, he made me love him again and tried to make me forget about Quil and then locks me in a room in the middle of nowhere and now probably wants to kill something because of what I said!" she wailed. He killed Jacob, I knew that much, but Jacob was her best friend? Took her from Quil? He kidnapped her! Oh my lord I am so confused.
"Bella didn't Quil kidnap you?" I asked trying to make sense of everything.
"No!" she spat disgusted at what I said, "No! I stayed with him after Edward killed Jake! I love him," Fury boiled in me, what the hell did Edward do to this poor girl?!
"Bella, I need you to explain everything to me, okay?" she wiped her eyes and nodded.
I listened intently to her story from the beginning. She said something about a birthdat party and then, Edward had left her broken and empty and Jake basically saved her, he was her best friend, then Alice Cullen showed up took Bella to the Volturi to save Edward, then they came home and Jacob loved her so he tried to get her back and that Edward said Jake had tried to kidnap Bella, so Edward killed him, she ran away and was going to go far away but ended up staying in La Push with Quil, where she fell in love with him, and then Edward came and kidnapped her, and at the end of the story she told me about their conversation they had had earlier but filled in what I had not heard.
When the last word escaped her lips my mouth was hanging open. Edward had lied about almost everything. Bella loved him but she loved this Quil guy to. I was trying to sort through everything I had heard and keep the fury I had for Edward in check as her head shot up and she started again.
"Oh and I forgot! Charlie's dead because Quil found out that I wasn't at home and killed him. Sorry with all of the other depressing things I forget about parts," What! Quil killed Charlie? That's not what Furro told me that he over heard the werewolves talking about. Now I am really confused.
"Bella?" Her head tilted up to look at me. "Quil didn't kill Charlie." I said stating what I knew. I had told Edward after all, and the bastard had lied to Bella. She looked confused but when she opened her mouth to speak she couldn't. "Bella, Charlie died because of a heart attack, when he found out you were gone he just couldn't take it." At first I could see a little relief lift from her shoulders only to be brought back down with much more force.
"Charlie died because of me! He died because I left!" she screamed. I put my hand over her mouth to prevent another scream and listened but when I didn't hear any footsteps I continued.
"Bella, it wasn't because of you, Edward took you, it's his fault." I declared again having to suppress the anger that built in my body. Her eyes widened as she realized what I had said.
"It's all his fault," she whispered looking at her hands, her body was shaking a little with revelation and probably anger. "It's all his fault!" this time she looked up at me, "Tianna, everything is his fault, Jacob, Quil, Charlie, everything!" I nodded inan I told you so sort of way.
She shook her head and stood up. I could see lividness in her eyes. I pulled her back next to me. "Bella, we need to get you out of here. I will help but to do it, you have to pretend like you love Edward, like you have forgotten about Quil, everything." She bit the side of her lip for a second before setting her jaw and nodding.
"Okay," determination now tainted the anger that flashed in her eyes.
"Alright I need to go, but don't worry I'll be back, I promise." She smiled and pulled me into a hug, her arms hugged me as tightly as she could and I hugged her back not as strong so I wouldn't crush her. She was getting out of here.
I smiled at her and squeezed her hand swiftly before leaving the room locking it behind me and running to place the key back where it had been.
Then I ran back to my room and dialed Gianna's number to fill her in on the lies and the new plan, I just hoped she was with Furro.
At vampire speed I explained everything to her the second she said hello. A pause went between us after I finished explaining everything. "uh, okay," she murmured. "I'm in!" she said again this time more determined. I could tell she was trying to sort things out.
"Okay find Furro, then the werewolves and fill them in. Bring everyone up here in two days. Can you do that?" I asked giving orders swiftly.
"Yes, easily," she said. I could tell her and I would get along. "I'll call you soon!" she said into the phone and before I could say goodbye the phone went dead.
