Chapter 2 – Fear
BPOV
I awoke to someone stroking my head. My eyes flashed open in fear, and widened in shock when I realised it was the bronze haired God. He had yet to realise I was awake, so I forced myself to stay still. "Edward! If she wakes up there's no knowing what will happen." I recognized the voice of Dr Cullen, and decided to test how far I could go. I closed my eyes, and began to purr. The hand of Edward, or so I presumed, stopped. I opened my eyes nervously, and quieted my purrs. He looked surprised, so I shrank back, looking around, anticipating some form of pain. Everyone was there, the model, the titch, the annoying guy who somehow kept fiddling with my emotions, the muscle-mountain (I cowered when my eyes rested on him, and his face seemed to sadden), the kind faced woman, Esme, and finally Dr Cullen.
My eyes went to the Bronze haired one, and widened. He looked so sad, and upset, that tears came to my eyes. Esme realised I was confused, and decided to interrupt. "Would you like something to eat? You've been asleep for nearly 12 hours, you must have been so tired." My eyes flashed to her, wondering if this was a test. I bit my lip, and hesitantly nodded, then shrunk back, expecting a bow. Esme's eyes grew sadder, but she reached out her hand, a silent invitation to trust her. I looked at the hand, and then slowly began to move. Edward, I guess, backed out of the box, but moved so quickly that it startled me, and I stopped. Esme took a step closer, her eyes imploring me to come out. I made my way out, but as I put my foot down I slipped, but Esme grabbed me. I froze, unused to contact of any nature except punishment and torture. She let go slowly, and guided me out of the room, and I flattened myself against the wall, whilst changing into my wings form. My tail shrunk back under my skin, and my ears change back into human ones, only pointed. All of my change was done in less than a second, and the people gasped. I looked down, unsure how to react. I saw Esme's hand move, and flinched in terror. "Bella, it's alright. I won't hurt you," Esme said, her eyes full of sadness and pity. "Are you coming?" I nodded and slowly walked down the hall, keeping my back to the wall. I cringed when I saw the marks my filthy clothing had left on the perfect cream walls, and wondered how they would punish me for them. The tiny woman came out, saw the marks on the wall, and looked at me, and my clothing, determination in her eyes.
I finally made my way down the stairs, worriedly looking around for any attack. The others followed, keeping a few feet behind me. Esme led me to their huge kitchen, and I crouched in a corner, far away from the oven. It brought back bad memories; I could feel the old scars tingle. "What would you like to eat, Bella?" Esme asked, and my eyes swept the room, but rested on the fruit bowl. I scurried behind the island, and changed into my Capuchin monkey form, and leaped onto the top. They gasped, so I hid myself behind the fruit. I peered out, and they all chuckled. I tried to grab a banana, but it refused to come off the rest of bunch. Esme helped me, and cut it into small, bite size pieces for me. I looked around, suddenly curious about the others. The tiny woman caught my stare, and beamed. "I'm Alice, and this is jasper," she pointed the blond who could change my emotions, "and this is Edward," she confirmed my belief, "and Rosalie and Emmett," pointing to the model like woman and heavily muscled man. He caught me staring at him, and smiled, showing his dimples. I was unsure as to why they were being nice, and looked down, wondering if there had been some mistake. My stomach growled, so Esme cut me another banana, and added some of the other fruit. I gobbled them down, and finally sat back, full for the first time in three years. Esme came near, and then asked something that floored me. "Would you like me to carry you? Unless you want to um… change into a person, that is." I looked at her, my mouth open in shock, before I complied, not wishing to annoy her, and leaped onto her shoulder.
The others chuckled, and they moved into a room with an enormous table made of solid oak. I gaped, and then checked to see if they were angry. They evidently weren't, so I relaxed a little. Esme sat down at the table, and the others joined her, suddenly looking at me nervously. There was an empty chair, so I hopped onto it, and changed into a meerkat, earning gasps from my audience. I shrunk back; unsure as to if they were angry. They looked at me with kind eyes, so I took that as a no. I looked around, then sat back down, slightly annoyed. I wanted to show them my proper self… but… I didn't want them to reject me. I decided to get it over with, and suddenly Alice gasped, and Edward gripped the arm of his chair so hard it broke, shattering into thousands of splinters. "Bella… do it… I'm sorry I reacted so badly!" Alice breathed, horror clearly etched on her face. How could she now what I had decided? "Bella, don't hesitate. Trust us, please," she pleaded, so I did as she wished, showing everyone my wings. Their reaction was of horror as I realised they could see the remains of the abuse I had received whilst with the doctors, all the scars, burns, bruises and still healing cuts. I panicked, launching my self towards the room I had slept in the past night. It was locked! NO, I screamed in my head, but not before hearing careful foot steps making their way up the stairs.
