I am back. My biggest ever apologies to my readers but some personal matters meant I had to stop writing and the fact that I am drowning in coursework and applications.
Small little bit here but another long long chapter will be posted tomorrow.
Shit was he only thought that occurred to Bella. She thought that Duncan was going to stay away from the meeting.
Duncan marched up to Bella and roughly grabbed her arm as he began to steer her away from Methos and the Cullen family.
"Duncan you're hurting me." Bella said as she felt the blood supply in her arms go away.
"You shouldn't even be here and you're not going bond again with these soulless monsters so you're coming back with me" Duncan whipped his to face Methos "You should know better, she is not thinking straight and you push her further to these beasts."
Methos grabbed Duncan's hand and pulled it away from Bella.
"She has a right to see these people, you are not her father and she is a grown women who is capable of dealing with decisions" Methos calmly but sternly said.
"She is as good as my daughter. I have trained her, looked after her and I was there for her when that bastard broke her heart."
Edward head whipped up and his eyes had turned from Butterscotch brown to black as his anger escaped the cage he had kept it bound within.
"I left her to protect her, you will never understand my life or the life of my kind. She got hurt and I thought it was the only way to protect her so don't you dare call me a soulless monster" he yelled.
Duncan and Edward were now face to face with their eyes each brimming with rage. Their body language showed that they were both eager to fight each other, the only thing keeping them from doing this was Bella.
Carlisle and Jasper came up behind Edward putting a hand on each shoulder.
"Edward this is not the place or time, fighting him will resolve nothing and would hurt Bella." Carlisle whispered this in Edward's ear so only those with sense as strong as a vampires could hear it. Edward relaxed his body and looked at Bella, she was the only person that could sooth him.
Carlisle positioned himself between the two groups and next to Bella. She was close to tears and he knew it, this meeting had been a mistake and Carlisle knew it.
Bella gave Carlisle a swift hug which he returned, she moved towards her bike while the others looked ashamed at the actions they had just perpetrated and the effect they had had on Bella.
Bella walked away wondering if she would ever have something close to a normal life. She had just ruined any hope of having her two families agree and she had only herself to blame.
Before anyone could say another word three gunshots pierced the air and Bella fell to the ground.
