Bella's PoV:
"What are you saying Edward?!"
"Are you crazy?! We can't keep her here!"
I could hear the family talking, more like arguing with Edward, but I couldn't seem to figure out what I should do. I was stunned. I had just heard that I wasn't allowed to leave and by the look on Edward's face I was pretty sure he wasn't going to change his mind. Was it worth it to try and persuade him to look the other way?
"You want to know the first thing she's going to do if we let her go? She'll tell everyone! She's the chief's daughter! We try running and he'll have every police force looking out for us! I am not going to have you guy condemned because of her!" Edward whispered harshly. I could hear him perfectly and what he said made me angry more then frightened.
"I won't tell anyone, I swear! Just please let me leave!" I spoke. I immediately saw six eyes, ranging from a golden to a dark brown color, turn to stare at me. I was intimidated, they all looked so frightening. If it wasn't for the terrifying situation, I would have though I was staring at angels. Their eyes were skeptical, as if people would believe be if I told; I didn't even believe what I saw. The only reason that I had to believe that I didn't dream it all up was that I woke up in the Cullen's house.
The older woman, Mrs. Cullen I figured, took a step towards me as if to comfort me, but stopped when I flinched back. I wasn't in the mood to be comforted by a monster. She turned her head back to the group, her expression grave. "She's frightened to death, just let her go. She won't tell."
"How do we know? I'm sorry Esme, but I agree with Edward. He can't read her and Alice can't see everything. I say we keep her here until we figure out what to do. Just think about it Esme, we'll feed her and give her some freedom, but until we can be sure that she won't spill, then she's better off here." Emmett had gone over to Edward's side and Rosalie, Jasper, and Alice looked like they were slowly caving too. My heart raced, pumping painfully against my chest. I wasn't getting out of here; my pleas were useless.
I felt a sob struggle in my throat as the other three nodded. Esme knew it too. She sighed, frustrated and rubbed her eyes. "We'll talk about this when Carlisle gets home." She turned to me again with an apologetic look. "Please don't be afraid. Are you hungry dear?"
I stared at her, not sure if my voice box would work when Alice said what I was thinking. "Esme, lets leave a plate out on the table for her. She's not going to eat when she has six vampires staring at her." I flinched at the word 'vampire'; it didn't seem to fit their description. Vampires were frightening, not gorgeous. Esme thought for a moment before nodding and retreating into another room. Slowly the other five left, leaving me to wallow in my own misery.
What was I going to do? I was stuck in this house full of vampires and I was positive that at least one of them wanted to suck me dry. Jessica and Angela were probably searching frantically for me. What would become of Charlie, Renee, all my friends? Would they even think to check here? Probably not. Charlie adored Mr. Cullen and would never think to check the one place where I was.
I glanced down at my watch; eight thirty pm. Charlie definitely would know by now. I felt my stomach rumble, I hadn't eaten since lunch. I slowly got to my feet and looked around the corner. I didn't care about my stomach; I needed to get out of here. After checking to see that the coast was clear I bolted for the door. It was my chance, the only one I would get for freedom. I got to the front door, I had made it, but I stopped dead in my tracks when I opened the large wooden door. Alice was standing in the doorway, a small frown on her face.
"Bella, please don't make this harder then it has to be. We aren't bad people, well, aren't bad things. We're just scared. Please don't give us a reason to be harsh. You must be hungry. Let's go eat, please?" Alice held out her hand towards me and I took it, defeated. My will and enthusiasm had gone out the open door. She led me into the grand dining room where a plate of hot food was sitting at the chair on the end. She sat me down and smiled before leaving me alone.
I stared down at the food, it smelt so good. There was two pieces of chicken with some sort of spice cooked on, mash potatoes, and green beans. I looked around before picking up my fork and took a bite of my food. It was delicious! The mash potatoes slid down my throat, warming me from the inside out. I was halfway done with my plate when I looked up to see I wasn't alone in the room.
