Alright, this is like the third story that I have updated today. I want to get a chapter out on every story before midnight. Think I can do it? Ha, I'm not even sure but oh well! Sorry if this chapter seems a little short, but my fingers are starting to cramp up too haha. Also this chapter isn't edited yet, so tomorrow I'll look at it and re-edit it and add some new parts.
Chapter 8: No!
Bella's POV
"Wait, what do you mean she's here? Like, OUTSIDE!" I panicked as I grabbed onto Edward's shirt. He put his hand on my shoulder and pulled me against him as Jasper went to stand in front of both of us.
The doorbell sounded and I squeaked a little, moving more behind Dad and Edward. Carlisle and Esme but rigidly walked to the door to answer it before they knocked it down. Suddenly a whole bunch of people came in, and I knew that all of the vampires were getting ready to attack them, but Carlisle gave us all a stern look.
He turned back to the guards (or if they even were guards) and talked to them calmly. "May we help you?"
"It appears that you have adopted Queen Renee's daughter. She has sent us out to retrieve her back to the castle to live with the Queen. We come in peace." One man said, his voice deep and convincing. It made me shudder and I gripped onto Edward's arm. The man must have saw me since when he looked at me he smirked and took a step towards me. Edward took a step foward also, along with Mom, Dad, Emmett and Rose.
"Don't come closer." Dad almost hissed out at them. It sounded more like he wanted to hurt them and was using everything in him not to beat them up.
"And who is that? Why is the brother so protective?"
"Brother? I'm the-" Dad started to say, but Carlisle cut him off.
"Guards, Esme and I are the ones that are the legal guardians to Isabella." Carlisle said as he nodded his head towards Esme. She smiled but it quickly turned into a frown.
The guard looked confused. He looked back at another one who took a step foward and began to speak. "We have legal papers that say the legal parents are Jasper and Alice Whitlock. Is that not correct?"
Carlisle looked puzzled at that question, but fluently made up an excuse. "No, they we're the ones that had picked her up that day. We were in the hospital at that time and had no way of getting her. They had to sign the papers themselves, and we we're going to get the papers changed on Tuesday."
The guard seemed to have a look of understanding. "Well, enough said. We need the Princess." He walked even closer now and Mom stepped in front of him. He looked amused, but then Emmett went to go stand by her and his face got visibly nervous. Mom then stopped moving for about 20 seconds before coming out of it.
Edward growled loud, but apparently the guards couldn't hear it. "Alice, no."
"Edward, she is my child and I decide what happends. I already saw it. You saw it too. They will kill her Edward,"
"Woah they are going to kill me if I don't go?" I whispered so low that I almost couldn't hear myself speak.
Mom nodded her head, and suddenly her eyes filled with tears. She turned to Carlisle and Esme and nodded. The guard's suddenly came over towards me and Edward, but he moved me behind hime even more and turned, backing me up into a wall while the others moved closer.
Dad was the next to follor what Edward was doing. Mom looked livid. She quickly grabbed me out of Edward's grasp and pulled me into her arms. "We will find a way to be together again Bella. I'll always be here. We will see eachother soon. I love you. We all do."
"No! Mom! Let them kill me! Don't make me leave!" I started crying out as one of the guards said something into his phone and hung up.
"We need to leave now. Come on Princess."
"NO! MOM!" I shouted, but it was too late. I was already being shoved into a car. I saw Edward and Dad run out first, but they were grabbed by all the rest of the family. Edward escaped for a moment, until Alice was the one who tackled him to the ground. How could she do that to me!
She just let me go with them. So what. I don't care if I died.
Did she even love me?
Of course she did, don't be stupid.
But she knew what was going to happen. Why didn't she stop it?
Ugh.
The last thing that I remember was the guards dragging me, kicking and screaming, into another car and speeding off.
That was the first day that I saw the castle.
Short, I know. But that chapter was just somewhat of a filler chapter. Next chapter will have Renee and Bella meeting, and maybe even a little tantrum. Sadly, Jacob will be in this story. Yes I know, not a fan either, but he has a big part in this. But he is pretty much going to be the bad guy so I guess it's okay... for now.
Alright, review if you want. I know this chapter kinda stunk but hey, it's almost midnight, I'm tired and my fingers hurt so haha. I just wanted to get a chapter out for you guys. Well, I think I'm going to bed now. So... bye!
