Upon the Horizon

Ch.3 Fire Wall

Things you need to know: 5 years have passed since Bella moved to Volterra. Her son's name is Anthony; he is now four and a half. Jane and Aro are his godparents. Bella went to school and is now a doctor/scientist working on trying to discover how she can help other vampires have children.

I had been looking for Heidi all day, she was supposed help me. I had been everywhere in the castle looking for her. I finally decided to go and see if Jane had seen her. When I got to her office, I didn't even bother to knock if someone was in there with her she would probably have locked the door anyway.

"Jane have you seen Heid . . . oh sorry I'll come back later." But it was too late, he had already seen me just as I had seen him. Why was he here? Why? I was happy. I had a good life here. Did he have to come and ruin it? I had spent the years here safe and happy. I had built walls around my heart to protect myself from the memory of him and those walls were about to come crashing down on top of me.

I had run half way down the corridor, when he grabbed my arm, turned me around and forced me to look at him. His face was even more beautiful than I had remembered. He looked at me as though he were staring at a ghost.

"How did you . . . , what happened . . . when did you?" Edward said in a low murmur. I just stared back at him not sure if I should answer his question or try to run again. I knew though, that he would catch me. Then, I heard my son.

"Mamma, mamma." Anthony yelled, as he ran down the hall. When he reached me, I picked him up. Alec was trailing just behind him. But when Alec saw the angry look on my face he turned and ran. He knew I would get him later for this.

"Mamma, look at the pretty picture I made with Marcus today." He said, as he pointed to the paper he held in his hand.

"It's beautiful, sweetheart you are a wonderful little artist." I said and kissed his forehead. Edward was just staring at us, confused, definitely not sure what to make of the two of us. His gaze was moving between me and my son.

"What's your name?" Edward asked curiously leaning over to talk to speak to my son.

"My name is Anthony." My son answered nervously; he seemed unsure of what to make of Edward, like me.

"That's a nice name; and how old are you Anthony?" Edward asked in a sweet tone but I could tell by his eyes, he was starting to put the pieces together.

"I'm four and a half. What's your name?" replied Anthony.

"My name is Edward."

"Wow, that's what mamma said my dad's name is." And that was the end, Edward knew Anthony was his.

"And where is your dad?" Edward asked but he already knew that answer.

"I never met him. Mamma says he didn't want her but that I'm better off without him anyway. She says we don't need him, we just need each other." Anthony replied while looking a little afraid that he had said too much; but he had only repeated what I had told him.

Edward just stared at us; I could see a thousand different emotions run across his face; confusion, astonishment, fear, wonder but the one that was most obvious was pure heartbreaking pain.

"Jane, can you please come out here and take Anthony to play for a while?" I called to her in her office where she had stayed to avoid the tension that was building in the corridor.

"Sure Bella . . . come with Aunty Jane, sweetie ok." Jane said sweetly; as I handed Anthony over to her.

"Bella, you don't understand." Edward said sadly once Anthony was out of ear shot.

"Oh Edward, I understand perfectly. " I screamed at him and turned to walk away but once again he caught me.

"He's my son." Edward said angrily.

"Yes, Edward, yes Anthony is your son but by genes only and by nothing else." I replied crudely.

"Bella, how could you not tell me we had a son? Bella, he's my son too!" Edward yelled at me.

"Because Edward, if you don't want me than you don't want Anthony and I don't want to have you around just because he's yours. I shouldn't be forced to look at your face just because we share a son. Now just leave us alone. We are happy here. This is our home." I screamed back at him now completely furious. He didn't catch me this time, as I walked away, because I used my power of illusion to trap him in a wall of fire. But as I ran down the corridor, I heard him whimper my name over and over.
