Well…now I am stalling! He he!
I am mean so…this is in Edward's POV of where I left off the last time it was his POV…if that makes since.
Disclaimer: No whay (yes I meant to spell it that way) am I Stephenie Meyer…unless you think I am. JK!
EPOV
The one I recognized as Damien asked, "Do you know them?" He tried to speak softly so that we couldn't hear him, but I sure did. She didn't know me, even though I kind of wish she did. She was beautiful…amazing
To my surprise the girl nodded, and for some reason she started to glare at Isolde. Why was she glaring at the human in the situation? It was I who told her what we were, and it was I who fell in love with her, thought wasn't even true. I swallowed when I finally realized that I had never really loved Isolde, except like as a sister. She was just a time passer…a placeholder.
I put my hand on Isolde's shoulder and my stance was rigid as the girl vampire's—who I still didn't know the name of—eyes were suddenly on me. I couldn't help but feel self conscious as the perfect girl stared at me with hate-filled eyes. Then something flickered upon her face, something like pain. But how could a girl like that be pained?
But then her face went blank once more and she smiled at me in the vile way, "Funny, Edward," She knew my name, and why did her voice sound so familiar…"You said you preferred brunettes."
I had only told one person that before.
"Bella." I exhaled in recognition.
Now I am going to a little before where I left off in the last chapter...but in EPOV. When Bella is telling what happened to her.
Bella started, taking a deep breath. I followed her and breathed in the air around me. I had to prepare my self for what was coming next. I looked up to find that Bella's face was pained and I sighed, low enough so that Isolde couldn't hear me. Which brought me back to her. What was she going to do when she found out what happened between Bella and me? I sighed once again and listened, waiting for the pain about to come.
"When I was human I moved to live with my father in forks. There I met many people, but only five of them stood out to me." I knew who that was. It was us. If only it had been sunny that day. What would have happened if the family had been away? What if Mike had asked her out? What if she had said yes? I knew the answer to all of the questions. She wouldn't be sitting before me...a monster. I had never wanted her to be like this. It was exactly why I had left. Did she have any idea what seeing her again did to me? Especially like this, when she was able to be with me? I could touch her and I wouldn't have to worry about killing her at the same time. What a feeling that would be. I would give anything to have it.
"I didn't know it then, but they were vampires. Edward had some weird pull to my blood. I was his singer." I could see everyone in the Volturi family stiffen and glare at me, but Bella didn't she had her face to the ground. Even I shuddered a little. What if she hadn't been my singer? What if I hadn't glared at her that day? These were questions I asked myself on a daily basis. It was horrible what I did to her, what I made her be.
"Then," she continued, "when I almost got squashed by a van Edward here saved me. I knew something was up though, when his hand left a dent in the car." She laughed if you could call it that. It was more like a cry. I remembered what I had been thinking right at the moment I saved her. I knew that she was going to tell everyone and that I had blown my family's cover. Then she didn't say anything, nothing at all to anybody about my hand and the dent. I was so surprised that it made me more interested in her. Any other human would have been dying to tell.
"We grew as friends and then I heard a legend about vampires from one of the Quileute tribe members. The Cullen family name was mentioned and I knew it that Edward, and his family were vampires." I felt like killing Jacob Black right at that moment. Then again, she had the right to know what we were...we are. "I had known that they weren't human. It was obvious. Then one night when I was almost…" I stiffened and exhaled painfully. I swear if I ever got my hand on those... I hat told Emmett about it too. If there hadn't been Jasper in the room...
"That night Edward told me he was a vampire, so it was official. Our friendship grew and before I knew it I was in love with him, and I thought he was in love with me." I was! I wanted to scream. I always have and always will. "Then a vampire named James came after me and Edward had to fight him off and stuff." Stuff? It wasn't just stuff to me. "Then I got a paper cut when I was with the entire Cullen family and Jasper tried to attack me. That got Edward thinking."
It had. That was the second worst night of my life. The worst was the one that followed. She was very close to that part of her story.
She closed her eyes, and her expression was pained, something I hadn't seen very much from her new emotionless self. Well, it was obvious that she emotion...lots of it. She just never had the strength to show it. Just like I had on the worst night of my life. But I had let some emotion slip onto my face...
She finally continued, "Edward told me that he didn't want me," She started to dry sob and I was so wrapped up in all of the pain that she had on her face and in her dry tears that I didn't bother look to see Isolde's expression. Not that I really cared, which was very very cruel.
"I wasn't good enough for him, and I can't blame him really. I was just a human, nothing special. I wasn't pretty and I wasn't smart." Everything in that sentence was a lie. She was way better than I was. She was too good for me. She was more than a human. She was an angel. My angel that I had let slip away. "I was left broken until I started hanging out with Jacob Black, who I now know is a werewolf." What?? She started hanging out with werewolves? Jasper noticed my anger.
Calm down, he thought.
I was taken off guard when she started again and I jumped at the sound of her beautiful voice. Then it hit me.
Bella was here.
"One day I went to our meadow and Laurent bit me." I was going to kill him. I was shaking with anger now and in my mind Jasper tried to warn me again, but I ignored him. then I realized that Isolde's hand had dropped from my mind. Two humans found me and when I was done with the change I killed them. I was proud of myself and I decided to go to the only place a monster like me belonged…the Volturi. I was made the head of the family due to my potent powers. Now I'm here 75 years later."
Then suddenly I was on the ground and Damien was on top of me. I couldn't blame him. He deserved to kill me and I deserved to die. I couldn't believe how much pain I had put the love of my life in. I couldn't believe that I had actually left her. I knew all of this, but I fought back out of instinct. He had been pissing me off the whole time, anyway. I hated this guy for taking away my girl. Then again, she wasn't mine to have so he technically didn't exactly take her. All I knew is that he had to die.
Then Emmett was attacking Damien. I really didn't have a reason to hate Damien, but I didn't mind if he was killed either.
We made our way out to the front yard. I was too focused on killing Bella's boyfriend to notice what was going on around me. Finally Damien got off of me was suddenly attacking Emmett. I stood up next to Carlisle and Jasper as we waited for a chance to attack.
Then it was chaos and everyone was fighting. I saw Alice attacking Damien and I smiled, very proud that she finally choosing to play dirty. Damien could also see the future and so it was very amusing to watch them fight, but I had to keep my focus.
Then the unthinkable happened. Bella pushed Damien aside and for a moment I thought she had chosen to fight with us, but the truth was the exact opposite. She picked Alice up by the collar of her shirt and threw her on the ground. Then she jumped on top of her and pinned her to the ground, as if to choke her. My hand reached out automatically to help either of them, but it went back to my side just as mechanically. I couldn't do anything. It I attacked Alice, I would be betraying my own sister; but if I attacked Bella...I just couldn't live with myself.
I looked around to see that everyone was staring at Bella and it had fallen silent. Emmett stood still in an attacking position, but did not move.
I stared at them both in shock. How could Bella do such a thing? She was the sweetest creature in the whole entire world to ever exist ever in time...ever. I looked over to Isolde, who was glaring at me. I didn't worry about her staying mad though. She couldn't ever hold a grudge.
Alice seemed just as surprised as I was. Her eyes were wide and pleading as she stared at Bella. Bella's expression changed abruptly when she saw Alice's face. Instead of looking angry she looked pained. Her features were so horrific that I had to look away. Looking at her when she in so much pain hurt...a lot.
She got up and brushed myself off. Then she ran over to that thing Damien. He had a strangely smug expression on his face, but I held myself from killing him. He had given Bella comfort when she didn't have me there to be with her, no matter how much she--and I--wanted me to be.
Then she was suddenly kissing him again, and once more I wanted to kill him. I wanted to go and throttle him right then and there, but for some reason my body wouldn't more an inch.
Then Bella suddenly went limp and her knees buckled and she fell to the ground. She was dry sobbing harder than before, something I didn't think possible. I wanted to look away--no needed to look away. Again, looking at her like that just caused me so much pain, but once again my body would function.
Then Alice ran over, still caring for Bella with all of her heart, and placed her snow-white hand on her shoulder. Bella stopped sobbing abruptly, and revealed her face. My shoulders noticeably fell at the sight of her impossibly beautiful face. I suddenly felt the urge to touch her beautiful lips with mine...
Alice smiled and Bella did to as she pulled Bella into a hug. Bella apologized over and over again and finally--even for just a moment--she was the old Bella again.
Then suddenly Demetri suddenly took a step forward and glared at me, his eyes daggers. "Well," He said directed toward Bella, "are we gonna kill them or not?"
I stiffened and so did everyone else--including Bella. I stared at Bella, so so sure that she would do such a thing.
Then she simply said, wiping her nose, "Yes."
DUN DUN DUN! HA!
