Chapter 18: An angel in pain
Edward's POV
My jaw dropped. My angel was screaming in pain because of god knows what, god knows where and god knows why. She had told me she loved me and not to come, I couldn't not come. She was crying and saying goodbye, that vile monster was hurting her because she told me she loved me. Felix walked over and put his hand on my shoulder, I was sobbing. How could I let my Bella get hurt? I had vowed to myself that I would protect her and I failed.
''So when are we leaving?'' Demetri spoke first.
''Leaving?'' I was so confused.
''To rescue Bells! Duh, you're not going to just sit here are you?'' I snarled at him.
''Of course I wasn't going to, she's my life!'' Demetri breathed in air and quickly turned his head.
''She in an abandoned mansion in the south-east of Ireland.'' I nodded and grabbed my jacket. '' So who else is coming?'' Immediately Jasper and Emmett stood up as well as Marcus.
''We're coming.'' They all said at the same time.
I was running as fast as I had ever ran. I needed to save her, to kill those idiots that were hurting her. We had just passed the border of Italy in little over than half an hour. I needed to get to her faster; she was dying every second more.
The others kept trying to catch up to me but failed miserably until Jasper's thoughts hit me.
Edward, slow down! And lay off the anger, it's too much for me.
I growled. Didn't he realize that she was my everything! Without her I would die. I would beg the Volturi to kill me. I loved her and it hurt to be away from her for too long. We passed Ireland's boarded and Demetri took a swift turn to the left making us all confused. But we trusted him since he was the world's greatest tracker. He stopped in front of a gothic-looking house and snuck around to the back.
I could hear laughs and sobs…my Bella in pain. I shuddered. Jasper found a window and closed his eyes quickly. I ran to the window and my jaw fell. There stood my angel chained to a wall with gashes and blood poring down her beautiful body and in front of her stood a talk dark haired man holding a whip. I closed my eyes and Jasper took my shoulder feeling my pain. Everyone was standing out the window in a second. Their heads all turned away from me when a women walked into the room and started talking.
''Do you think I could hit her really hard with that?'' She emphasized on the really while my jaw dropped. They wanted to keep hurting my angel. I growled and turned my eyes to see a broken angel trying to gain enough energy. She looked up at me when I growled and my heart melted.
''What is she looking at?'' Two other males came in.
''I don't know, don't worry about it Volkan. She's going crazy cause of the poison.'' I wanted to rip him apart right there. They were using poison on her, meaning they used witchcraft to probably put her in that coma state.
''Yeah, Cameron.'' He turned and faced the blond boy. ''Smith, Russell? Be cautious.'' He faced Cameron again. ''You take care of her and by that I mean punish her if she does anything stupid.'' He stormed off leaving the women and Cameron alone with my Bella.
''Do you think that Kim would get mad at me if I did this piece of ass?'' The thoughts going through his head disgusted me and the women replied.
''You're not supposed to touch her like that. Only Volkan can.'' Her eyes flickered to Bella.
It was time for an intervention; I turned to look at the others who looked back. They seemed to get the idea; we jumped through the window and landed with a faint boom. The women instantly turned, crouching and snarling fiercely. I didn't watch her, I only watched Bella who grew fainter every minute. The other men walked in and flanked the women. Next thing I knew there was a type of film wrapping around us. It kept flickering, perishing and appearing. I turned to Bella who was gasping for air, she was doing this to protect me. Using all her energy for me. I wanted to tell her to not waste it but I couldn't. Instead I wanted to go towards her, next thing I knew she fell. Her body leaned forward and the chains pulled out of the wall and she hit her head hard on the floor creating a huge gash on her forehead where blood started poring out. Cameron was walking towards her with the whip, my body tensed as I realized what he was going to do.
''So, you're trying to protect your mate ehn?'' He raised the whip. ''This is what you get for that, I just hope poor little Edward enjoys watching this.'' Her eyes tightened after they stared right into mine, she mouthed ''I love you''. He hit her with the whip in the center of her back. She started screaming in agony, the wound being infected with more poison. The rest of the vampire clan was laughing. I growled loudly and lunged at the red head.
The fight began; I was so infuriated that I let all anger rule me. Emmett had ripped the skimpy blond one and started on the tale male who seemed to be the leader. Jasper soon helped him while Demetri and Felix where working on the other blond boy. I had pulled out my lighter and burnt the red head to ashes. I turned my head toward the others who were pulling the other vampires apart. Then it hit me, where was the women? I turned to see her holding up a dagger in front of Bella's heart. I stopped immediately.
''STOP! If you continue, she dies.'' She had a wicked grin on her face as she pulled Bella closer to the dagger. My heart sank and I motion the others to stop.
''What do you want for her!'' I shouted. I would do anything to have Bella back in my arms right now.
''Mhm. Well I'd like you dead for killing my mate.'' I rolled my eyes and she brought the poisoned dagger closer to her heart. I gasped and answered.
''I'm not going to die, and he wasn't your mate. He was Victoria's!'' I shouted angrily.
''VICTORIA WAS AN IDIOT! SHE FELL FOR HIS LIES! James just needed her for her strength!'' She laughed and pulled on Bella's hair.
''Oh'' That was all I could say. The grin was still plastered to her faces and I couldn't read her mind because she was blocking it from me. She raised Bella and I took a step forward.
She threw Bella across the room. My angle hit the wall and fell limp to the ground. I rushed after her but was stopped by Marcus lunging in front of me. It confused me but he fell to the floor with the dagger in the heart. I bend down and he grabbed my arm.
''Go to her Edward. She's always loved you and don't ever hurt her.'' I nodded and his eyes closed. He was dead. I looked up to see Jasper and Emmett ripping up the women and Demetri was picking up all the body pieces and throwing them into the fire. I rushed to Bella and picked her up in my arms.
''I'm so-sorry Bella. I failed you. I love you!'' Her eyes flickered and her hand grabbed me arm. I pulled her up to carry her bridal style. I rushed out of the house followed by the others and we headed back to Voltera.
