I layed in the safety of Edwards arms. He held me close to his chest, a blanket wrapped round me, to stop any chills. Hours passed as we talked. Well, he did most of the talking , I mainly listened and laughed to the stories of his family. How Emmett constantly wanted to battle with Jasper, to see who was the strongest. Alice and Rosalie banding together to play " Barbie " on both of them. Hearing the stories of his siblings made me jealous. I would have loved to have siblings, to enjoy childhood together and sibling hatred, always trying to get each other into trouble.
" your family sounds amazing. I wish I had a family like yours."
He laughed quietly, his body shaking slightly.
" after a while its annoying. Especially if you can read their minds. Believe me, you don't want to know half the things that go through their heads."
He sobered instantly and shuddered as I giggled. We layed in silence for a moment, listening to the quiet rumbling of Charlie's snores coming from the next room. I thought of Charlie. How his skin crinkled when he smiled and how he looked at me with a fathers love. A look so different from what Renee and Phil gave me. I felt truly loved by Charlie. More than anyone else on the world. Well, that was until Edward walked into my life. He gave a whole different level of love. Something I didn't want to let go of. None of them.
" I....I don't mean to put a downer on your mood but....."
I trailed off as I bit my lip. The image of Renee and Phil lying dead in a pool of their own blood echoed through my mind along with a voice ' it could happen to Charlie and the others.' Edward lifted my chin with his finger, so I could look into his eyes. The golden orbs were deep, I got lost in them. Edwards arms tightened around me in comfort.
" Bella, What's troubling you?"
I closed my eyes. What would happen to Charlie. Or the Cullens. I felt like poison. Anything I touched got hurt, killed. I licked the bottom of my lip.
" do....do you think they will come fro me??"
" I don't know Bella. The Volturi are unpredictable. They always have been. But I swear, I will keep you safe.
His words slightly warmed me. He would protect me, but I knew, deep down, I didn't need it. He did. Everyone did. The Volturi wanted me. Not to kill me. I would protect them. I couldn't bare to see them gone from me. I wouldn't let such a fate befall the them because of me. I kissed his chest, unable to reach his lips. I have to do something. I cant just sit here, waiting, with everyone I know and care about around me. I couldn't sit and watch them perish. Not like I did Renee.
Edward bent his head to mine, his lips brushing mine. He pulled away and smiled gently.
" you should sleep, love. I'll be back soon. I need to hunt."
I nodded sadly. He kissed me gently on the cheek before disappearing out my open window and closing it behind him. My room seemed darker and intense. I shivered and puled the covers closer to my body. I snuggled into their warmth and closed my eyes to the world and drifted into my nightmares.
The wolves bit into my arms and legs, threatening to rip them off. They dragged me away from the streets into the forest in the surrounding area. Blood seeped from my wounds into the growling mouths of the wolves and on the hard forest floor. They threw me down hard and circled me. They growled as I moved, the pain almost unbearable. A man walked out of the woods, his long black hair was wild and his dark brown eyes held anger and hatred. His dark skin shined with sweat in the moonlight that creeped through the branches. He grinned at me, his white teeth flashing in the darkness.
" good evening, Princess."
I snarled at him. How dare they attack me like this. I have done nothing to offend them and yet they attack. Stupid mutts. I let my anger boil in me, giving me more strength.
" what do you want?! Let me go!!"
He chuckled humourless and shook his head.
" I don't think so, Princess. You're staying right here."
I tried to stand properly causing the wolves to growl and the man to kick me to the floor. I hissed in pain. I glared up at the man. Pain rippled through my body. I tried to push it away but then a new wave would knock the breath out of me.
" wait till my brothers and sister find me. You will regret this dog.
He laughed again.
" they wont be able to find us, Princess. They are not as amazing and perfect as you think."
He bent down, and brushed the lock of hair that fell into my eyes as he smiled, his teeth flashing white. I snapped at him, causing him to pull his hand back quickly. The wolves growled and stepped towards me.
" why are you doing this??What did we do!?"
His smile faded and his forehead creased with confusion. His finger was rested against his bottom lip, his dark eyes gazing into mine.
" you don't know, do you? The fact that your....family, has been killing innocent people along with our tribe?"
His words raked through my mind. Could it be true? I shook my head in disbelief.
" they promised! They promised they wouldn't do that anymore! They wouldn't lie to me! They wouldn't..."
My voice trailed off. They had been avoiding me recently, avoiding all eye contact and hunting all the time. My anger against the wolves thinned away till there was nothing except betrayal and sadness.
" I didn't know.... I thought they had changed. I....I'm sorry for what my family did. I am. You have every right to be angry at them. But why are you attacking me and not them?!"
He laughed as reached behind me and grabbed a handful of my hair and yanking hard, throwing my head back, exposing my throat.
" they took someone precious from us. From me. We are simply returning the favour. You are precious to them so you must die. Like our tribe leader and his family. Along with some of our wives."
He ripped the gold necklace from my neck and held it up in front of my eyes. The pendent turned slowly, the moonlight shining off the blood that coated it.
" blood needs to be paid, Princess. And I'm not sorry to say, that its your blood that is need. Well that, and the fact that you are the only one that can bleed."
He nodded his head towards the largest wolf, its fur as black as night.
" good bye Princess."
A scream came from me as the wolves lunged forward and sank their teeth into me and began pulling in different directions. I felt my body being torn to pieces and with my last breath I uttered a spell. A spell of vengeance on them. I would return.
I went to the dark void between worlds, waiting.
I woke gasping, my body trembled beneath the covers. I sat up hastily and ran my hands over my face before running through my hair. So that's what happened? I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood up. Though my legs were shaky, I managed to walk to the bathroom without falling. Turning on the shower on hot, I looked in the mirror. I looked at the scar on my neck. Some family. I touched it gingerly and blinked back traitor tears as memories of Renee and Phil dead swam through my mind. I could let anyone else die. Not Charlie and not the Cullens. I would make certain of that.
I stripped and climbed into the shower. A sigh of relief escaped me as the water cascaded down my back unknotting the muscles. I lifted my face so that it faced the shower head, letting the water wash away the sweat. I wouldn't let them get hurt. Not because of me.
After what seemed ages, I stepped out of the shower. I changed slowly before leaving the hot bathroom to my bedroom to dump my PJ's. I took one last look at my reflection in the mirror. My long, wet brown hair in a ponytail and my eyes brown. Wearing only jeans and purple cotton top, I looked like any plain, boring mundane girl. So why did it have to be me? Shaking my head, I left my and trudged downstairs, to find Charlie sitting with the paper and a cup of coffee. He looked up surprised.
" Mornin' Bella. You're not usually up this early."
I smiled slightly.
" couldn't sleep."
He nodded before sipping his drink.
" so Emmett did scare you then with the stories on the werewolves."
He smiled up at me, his dimples showing. I shrugged, my smile bigger than before. He shook his head.
" ummm Bella. I forgot to tell ya last night. Billy's invited us down to La Push tonight. We are going there for dinner. You didn't make any plans, did you? I was hoping you would come and make friends with Jacob and his friends."
I swallowed hard.
" um no. I ...don't have any plans tonight. I guess I could come."
" That's good. I hate leaving you by yourself all the time"
Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap What am I meant to do? I walked into the kitchen and leaned against the counter. Maybe I could learn something while I was there?? hope blossomed in my chest. I smiled. And they couldn't hurt me if Charlie was there. Yep, this dinner will be interesting for sure.
