"No," Edward whispered, he quickly turned to Bella, who was still eating her eggs with interest and curiosity, had not noticed that the master of the castle has returned.
He turned to his mother, the color from her face drained, her hazel eyes full of panic, not only just for me, but also Bella. Elizabeth moved quickly to Bella, hoping to get her out of the dining area before-
"Well what do we have here," came the loud voice of Edward Sr., as he eyed Bella up and down.
Edward growled as he saw the darkening look in his father's eyes, and almost inhumanly fast was in front of Bella, protecting her from his father's lust filled stare.
"Even with the fear that his father instilled in him at such a young age, he still protects her like this, if this isn't love then I don't know what is," Alice thought, she was coming from the stables when she heard Edward Sr. voice reverberating through the halls, she ran through the kitchen to come out the door to see Edward, in a protective stance in front of a scared Bella. Alice quietly snuck up behind the two and Edward turned his head slightly, giving Alice a quick nod. She swiftly grabbed Bella's wrist, taking her through the kitchen to the stables.

As Alice and Bella disappeared through the kitchen Edward relaxed, but only for a second as his father's deep, gravely voice made its way back to him.
"Edward, are you going to be a pussy or are you going to tell me who the fuck was that?" Edward Sr. said, his voice getting louder with each syllable, causing Edward to flinch slightly.
"That was Bella, a friend of mine father," Edward answered, trying to put up a strong façade.
Edward Sr. dark eyes went tight, "I will believe that for now, now time for you to get back to training, I want you in the weaponry room in 5 minutes!!" he roared.
Edward nodded and quickly left, hoping that his mother will be alright alone in there.
"Dear," Elizabeth began hesitantly, "I thought your trip would take a few days, or a week even-"
"Change of plans," he answered dismissively, "a few days is too many for Edward to go without disciplined training, and he might be tempted to go back to music, I will not have a music playing pussy as my son!"
Elizabeth flinched at her husband's words, but hastily nodded to cover it up. After Edward Sr. left to go to the weaponry room she fell into a chair and sighed, wondering what happened to the loving, kind man her husband was.

"Was that-?" Bella began.
Alice nodded hastily as she continued to take Bella to the stables out behind the castle, knowing that the king would never come back here.
Just then a tall man, with broad shoulders, messy blonde hair, and kind clear blue eyes appeared, making a smile grace Alice's lips.
Alice and Bella stopped as the man caught up to them, Bella with a curious look on her face turned to Alice.
"This," Alice said with a bright smile, love and trust filling her eyes, "is my husband, Jasper. Jasper this is Bella." "Edward's Bella," Alice thought.
Jasper smiled, "It's nice to meet you Bella."
Bella smiled, after seeing the love conveyed in both their eyes she felt even more at ease around them then she already did.
Jasper then turned to Alice, feeling not only the love that they hold for each other but also fear, something he never wanted to see in his Alice's face.
"He's back early," Alice answered.
Jasper tensed and nodded, understanding what could happen and what is to happen. He turned to Bella, "would you mind helping me with the horses? I would ask Alice but she needs to tend to the kitchen."
Bella looked nervous, yet curious, and nodded.
Jasper smiled and gently leads her to the stables, where two majestic horses grazed. One a dark grey, with black and white spots dusted all over, the other a golden brown, more topaz in the front and honey near the rear.
"Wow," Bella said in awe, "they're beautiful."
Jasper nodded, "Yes they are, I raised them myself, the black one is Night and the golden one is Emmett. (AN: I am sorry for all you Emmett lovers, but I did say I was going to get all the original characters in here somehow.)
Bella smiled, liking the horse named Emmett, his blue eyes showed such happiness, and laughter. She went up to him and gently stroked his mane, his muzzle found her other hand and nuzzled against it with delight.
Bella laughed, "I am glad that you like me Emmett."

"One day!" Edward Sr. roared, pushing his son to the floor. "One day, and you are already slacking off and fooling around! So how many times did you screw her? Once? Twice? Lost count?!"
Edward shook his head, fear clouding his vision, "Father I never-"
Edward Sr. just waved Edward's protests away, grabbed a sword and threw it at him, the cold, shiny, metal screeching to a halt at Edward's feet.
"Practice!"
Edward grabbed the sword and quickly began the new technique, his sword cutting through the air gracefully.
"That's not good enough!" Edward Sr. yelled, yanking the sword out of his son's hand, throwing it to the floor.
Edward felt himself tense as his father grabbed him and threw him against the wall, he gasped as he felt his father's fist connect with his face.
"Father!" Edward cried.
"Silence you pussy!" Edward Sr. roared, slapping his son hard against the cheek he just punched, causing it to start to bleed.
Edward felt tears start to escape his eyes, he let out a cry as his father punched him in the chest. He felt himself slide to the floor, his muscles relaxed, hoping the worst was over.
"Don't relax boy, I am not done with you," Edward Sr. sneered, sending a swift kick into Edward's side, causing Edward to emit a painful moan.

After Bella spent the afternoon cleaning and grooming Emmett, she laughed and giggled her wet body back to Edward's chamber. As she entered his room she saw Alice sorting through the closets.
"Hey Alice," Bella said, a little worried that the little high maintenance pixie had not jumped on her the minute she entered the room.
Alice turned around, "Bella! Wow it looks like you had an adventure today," she giggled, taking in Bella's soaked clothes.
Bella laughed, "Yea I did, Emmett is a handful to care for. Your husband does such a great job at raising them."
Alice smiled, disappearing into the massive wardrobe only to reappear moments later with a knee length green skirt and a midnight blue blouse.
Bella thanked Alice and entered the bathroom, stripped down and washed and reappeared minutes later looking as beautiful as she did that morning. She looked around the room to see that Alice had left and went over and lay down on the bed, as she slowly felt herself drifting from consciousness when the door flew open. Bella shot up and gasped as she saw Edward struggle through the door and collapse to the floor, his breathing heavy and his face stained with blood and tears.
"Edward? What- what happened?" Bella stuttered, terrified.
Edward opened his mouth to protest, only to groan in pain and sputter, sending blood and saliva across the floor.
Bella moved gracefully to his side, helping him up and into his bathroom, propping him up onto the toilet. She went to the sink and wet a towel, taking it and gently dabbing it on the cuts and scratches scattered across his face.
"Edward," Bella said softly, Edward's emerald orbs avoiding her chocolate ones, "what happened to you?"
Edward coughed, sending more blood across the room and spoke, his voice hoarse and scratchy, "As you saw, my father returned early from his trip, apparently I was slacking off in my training and needed to be punished."
Bella's eyes widened in horror.
"I'm fine Bella, really, there's no need to worry about me," Edward said hastily, wincing, he grabbed his side in pain.
Bella noticed and slowly took the bottom hem of the shirt into her hands, Edward grabbed her hands, gently trying to stop her from pulling his top up.
Bella looked up at Edward, her chocolate eyes finally meeting his emeralds, seeing the pain, anguish, and embarrassment swirling inside them.
"Please Edward," Bella pleaded, "at least let me see if I can help."
Edward sighed in defeat, removing his hands from hers and letting her gently pull his shirt up. Bella's eyes widened in horror at the damage done to his perfectly sculpted chest, besides the decade old scar trailing down him, his side bruised, already turning a deep purple, blood flowing from deep cuts and bruises that laced his chest.
"Oh Edward, how could someone do this to you?" Bella thought as she gently dabbed at the cuts, stopping every so often because of Edward's flinches.
"He wasn't always like this," Edward said softly, flinching as Bella touched a particularly nasty cut, "he used to be nice and caring, a real father. Not this man, this horrible power crazy man that you had to witness today."
"Really?" Bella asked, curious, grabbing some bandage she found in a cupboard above the sink, ripping some off she started to wrap it around Edward's chest, trying to help keep his cuts clean.
Edward nodded, "He used to be my father, we had once rode horses together and played games and did things that normal father and son's do. Then one day I got interested in music, I had heard a piano recital at another kingdom and I was entranced by it, the music, sweet and haunting as it floated throughout the room, it drew me in. My mother was so happy that I found such an interest in music, so happy that she bought me my own piano, a pearly white piano, almost as pure and white as your feathers, I loved it, I pretty much taught myself how to play, I even composed my own music. My mother was enthralled with my playing, she loved spending days and evenings listening to me play. My father at first was happy for me, but as I was getting older he decided I needed to start training for the one day I would rule the kingdom, except I had no intention of stopping my music for even a moment. This got my father pretty upset, the next day he decided no more nice guy and well here we are, ten years later, me terrified of human contact and of, my father."
"Oh Edward," Bella said softly, looking up to see tears streaming down his cheeks again, she rose to her feet and stepped closer to him, wiping a tear away from his cheek.
"Thank you Bella, for listening to me and being there for me, besides Alice and Jasper I was all alone, and most of the time I felt alone even with them around, but you Bella, its like you are always here, even when I feel like I am all alone."
Bella blushed and mumbled some thanks and that she doesn't deserve this and was about to go when she a pair of soft warm lips pressed against hers.
Bella's eyes widened, "Is Edward kissing me? Why? I am nothing special."
"But you are something special Bella, you have given me something that I had not felt in years, hope," Edward mumbled against her lips. "Her lips are so soft and warm, its heaven."
Bella couldn't believe that this is happening, she felt her arms wrap his neck, Edward eagerly yet gently wrapped his around her waist, pulling her closer. She sighed against his lips, her pink ones parting enough to make Edward eager for more.
"Bella," Edward moaned softly, pressing his lips against hers with even more passion. His lips moving tantalizingly slow against hers, pressing butterfly kisses against the corners of her mouth before pulling away.
Edward took in Bella, her blouse a little bloody with his blood, her full, pink, lips swollen from his kisses. Edward gave her a crooked grin, and smiled even broader at the scarlet blush she received in return.
"Thank you again Bella, why don't you go into the bedroom and I will get changed into something less gruesome in here?"
Bella nodded, and quietly left slipped out of the room, both of them having silly grins on their faces.
