Chapter 15: Message
I woke up still curled in Edward's arms. I imagined that lying with me naked drove him crazy, again, but decided that we could wait until later to have another round. I was adjusting rather quickly to being naked around Edward. His beautiful form still took my breath away, but it comforted me to know that somehow, I had the same effect on him. I felt the cool breeze of his breath on the back of my neck. I tried to stretch myself out as little as possible, not wanting to move away not even an inch. I sighed as I placed my head back down on his chest.
."Good morning, beautiful." he told me as he kissed my cheek.
"Good morning," I said as I snuggled even more in to his chest.
"Did you sleep well, my love?" he asked, kissing right by my ear.
I nodded, "Yes, very well." as I looked up to his face.
He chuckled and began kissing along my jaw line. It was certainly a pleasant way to wake up.
"And how was your night?" I asked him, trying to distract him.
He continued to kiss me, working his way down my neck. "Absolutely amazing and perfect," he replied, with his lips still pressed against my skin. I felt his hands begin to wander across my stomach and work their way up to my chest.
"Really?" he didn't respond, he just pulled away and stared at me.
Edward locked his gaze with mine, and took in a deep raged breath and for the first time, I realized something. He, my perfect Greek God, was being dazzled by me.
I let out a low laugh.
"What?" he narrowed his eyes and looked at me with a worried expression.
"Nothing, you just, I dazzled you. For once I'm not the one being dazzled by you." I smiled widely
"Well as I have said before, you have a strange way of looking at yourself. You don't see yourself for the lavishing beautiful creature you really are."
"I'm ordinary, boring. Nothing special." I stated.
He just shook his head. He leaned his head down and whispered in my ear. As he kissed my neck.
"You are so far from the truth. You are so much more special and not ordinary there are no real words to describe how special you are. Especially to me."
We laid there in each others arms for what felt like hours, just staring into each others eyes.
We heard the door burst open and we both jumped, pulling the blanket up around our naked torso.
"Bella you cant hide from shopping all day!" Alice shouted, and stopped dead in her tracks as she entered the room. "Oh, I, uh, oh. Sorry, she turned around and walked out of the room swiftly. Leaving me and Edward speechless. We turned and looked at each other, not knowing what to say. I just started laughing. Soon we were both laughing at the expression on Alice's face as she burst into the room. We decided it would probably be a good thing to get out of bed, and go down stairs to Alice.
Edward groaned. "Why cant we just get one peaceful day with out anyone barging into the room?" Edward asked as we walked down the stairs. I just laughed.
"I didn't know!" Alice yelled from the living room.
"Well you could have knocked!" Edward walked into the room and looked at her annoyed.
"Well excuse me If I got the vision last night and just assumed you'd be done by now!"
"The, what?" I asked she had a vision, oh god she saw.
"I got a vision, of well. I don't really want to go through it again if ya don't mind."
"Well next time don't assume we'd be done." Edward said as he glared at her jokingly. I was still in shock she had a vision, of, that.
"I'm just not going to look for either one of you when she stays the night. Its safer that way." she laughed.
"Any news on when Carlisle and the others will be back?" I asked curiously. I wanted to know what was going on with Edward. Vampires don't just all of a sudden get the ability to cry real tears.
"They should be back later today. You should be lucky I was the one to walk in on you two. Could you imagine?"
"Emmet, would never let it rest!" Edward said as he shook his head and laughed slightly.
The afternoon went by fast. We were in the kitchen getting me something to eat when the rest of the family got home.
Carlisle ran directly to Edward and just stared at him.
"Carlisle what are you looking at?" Edward asked as he took a step back. Emmet had me in a huge bare hug as Carlisle laughed. He sat me down on my feet and looked over toward Edward. The whole family just stared at him. I walked next to him and grabbed his hand in mine.
"You cried? So you had tears?" Carlisle asked
"Real tears?" Jasper added.
"They were real, all three of us saw them." I looked up at Edward as he said this, and then shook my head to agree.
"They were real Carlisle, tears all down his face. It was, amazing." I stated. It truly was amazing, he had cried, over me. Vampire crying, I doubt whether I had anything to do with the sudden tear factor but I could dream.
"Weird is more like it." Alice said as she squinted her eyes.
"Well, this, I have never heard of anything. But I'll get to the bottom of it, I promise." Carlisle said as he glided out the kitchen presumably into his study to search through his many books.
Everyone was asking us what had happen for we realized Edward had tears in his eyes. All I could do was stare at the counter top. I was going to leave Edward because he wasn't going to change me. That would go over well. Edward put his arm around my waist and pulled me close to him. I felt a wave of calm run through the room and I glanced up at jasper and tried to smile.
"I, Bella, and me got into a small fight. I refused to change her ever. I didn't want to put her through what we all have been through. We didn't have a choice, she does. And I wanted her to be sure of her decision. And I thought that sometime, ten years, what ever. Down the road she would regret her decision and regret being with me. And I couldn't have that happen. So that is why I have refused to change her, I didn't want her to go through that. Or the pain of the transformation."
"Edward, I would never regret being with you. Ever."
"I know that Bella, but what happens down the road. I couldn't have you regretting anything, I didn't want you to miss the human experiences, being human. Charlie, Renee. So I told her I couldn't. She didn't like that. She told me that she couldn't do this anymore. She couldn't go through being with me, and growing old while I stayed seventeen forever. And knowing someday down the road we would have to part ways, she would die. So I had to make a decision. Let her walk out of my life forever. Or agree to change her, eventually."
"Soon!" I added. Everyone was staring at me wide eyed. I felt bad, the way Edward explained it, It was like I had manipulated him into changing me. "I knew that I would grow old and eventually die, have to say goodbye to Edward. I knew I couldn't do that, I knew the longer we were together the harder it would be." I frowned and looked away from there wondering faces.
"I ran out of the room after her and told her I would agree to it. But she had to give me time, give her self time to make sure its what she wants. I told her how much I cared about her. She turned around and realized I had tears in my eyes. And that's when she screamed for Alice. She then called Carlisle."
"Wow." Emmet explained. "That's, Bella we all knew you would be one of us eventually. I don't know why you worried about it."
"Because Emmet, you know your brother as well as I do. He makes up his mind, its very hard to change it."
"He isn't the only one who can do it ya know."
"Yes but he is the only one I want to do it." I smiled. I looked up and saw Alice in jaspers arms. They weren't really even paying attention to the rest of us. I smiled as I saw just from the look in there eyes how truly in love they were.
"Well I am going to go tell Carlisle. We will figure this out don't you worry." Esme said as she strolled out.
"You guys are like extremely happy. It cant all be just because dear Edward here is a sissy." Emmet said laughing as Rose smacked him.
Edward froze, and looked away. I felt my cheeks blush. Emmet walked past me and froze.
"Oh. My. God." I jumped at his sudden out burst. "I don't know why I didn't realize it earlier you reek of, Edward!" he jumped back and looked at me. I refused to meet his gaze.
"Emmet, leave it alone." Edward said sternly
"You two totally did it!"
"Emmet!" Rose shrieked as she grabbed his arm and pulled him away. She shot us a glance of apology and walked out of the kitchen, a hollering Emmet being forcefully dragged behind her.
"I am, so, sorry!" Edward laid his head on my shoulder.
"It's ok, they would have found out eventually."
"Yea I suppose, but I'm still sorry."
"Don't be." I said as Esme walked back into the kitchen.
"I'm sorry dear. But I have some bad news. Your going to have to go home later today." she said as she looked at me.
"What? Why?" Edward said as he stood up.
"Because Edward this is a small town. People we'll know we are back early. Bella is supposed to be here, alone with Alice. Us being back means your back. Charlie will not be happy if she stays another night and he hears we came back early."
"But." Edward tried to protest.
"Edward, if you ever want her to be able to stay here again. We must do our best to appease Charlie."
"Fine." he scowled
"Edward, its ok, you'll just stay with me tonight."
"Yea, I guess."
Alice drove me back to my house, Edward was going to meet me there later today. That way Charlie wouldn't get upset. She helped me carry my bags inside. We had went 'shopping' at least that's what Charlie would be told.
"Bella?"
"Yes Dad." I heard Charlie get off the chair and walk into the hallway.
"Well that's a lot of bags."
"I took her shopping early this morning. We just got back. My mother had called me while we were shopping and told me they were coming home early." Alice said as she smiled up at him.
"Oh, your parents and the rest of your family are home now?"
"I don't know if there home yet but they will be back some time today."
"Well thank you Alice. That was very responsible of you to Bring Bella back early."
"It was Bella's idea. She thought it would be best if she came home today. She didn't want to make you angry for staying there." I was shocked what was Alice doing." My dad looked at me in awe.
"I, yea Dad, figured you'd rather have me home early than stay there when, Edward was home." I smiled up at him.
"Bella, that was very responsible of you. Maybe I don't, have to worry so much about you." he walked back into the living room. I glanced over at Alice she just had an extremely large grin on her face.
We walked into my room and I threw the bags onto the floor.
"What was that?"
"What was what Bella?"
"You know what."
"It worked didn't it? No more over bearing Charlie."
"Yea, I guess. But that doesn't help the fact I cant stay at your house tonight."
"Well no, but that also gave Charlie the realization your not a kid anymore and that he can trust you."
"Now I am going to stay here until Edward comes. He is back at the house with Carlisle."
"Any news on the whole tear thing?"
"None, Carlisle is calling some of his old friends."
"Oh."
"Bella, this never happen before to my knowledge. This is totally new. And I also have a feeling that it has nothing to do with anything they are going to find in books. It has to do with you, and how much my brother loves you. And the thought of loosing you, for a second time. Killed him. Hence the tears. Great sadness, in a vampire." I looked at her blankly. "Most Vampires aren't sad, they like the life they were given. Most don't care as much about others as my brother cares about you."
I still didn't know what to say, so I just nodded. He had cried because he loved me to much to bare the thought of loosing me again. It made me smile, to know that he cared that much. I knew he did, but it was still nice to see it.
We went downstairs and I made dinner for Charlie. Of course Alice excused herself from eating. Charlie never thought anything about it. He eventually left to go to the Clearwater's house ever since Harry's death, everyone has been helping them out.
About an hour after Charlie left there was a knock on the door. I ran to it, expecting Edward. I smiled beamingly as I opened the door. My smile vanished.
"Hey Bells." he smiled down at me. His smile vanished when he saw Alice standing behind me. She just smiled at him. "What's she doing here?"
"She, has a name! Alice is here because Victoria is still out there, and because I want her here!"
"Well I didn't mean anything by it. I just thought, something, happen."
"Like what?" I asked annoyed.
"I can I talk to you? Alone." he said as he looked at Alice.
"I don't think that's wise Bella." She said as she put her hand on my shoulder.
"I'll be fine, just stay here ill be right outside."
"She can hear me. I don't care. I meant alone as in away from Charlie." Jacob stated.
"Oh. He isn't home." but I walked outside anyway shuting the door behind us. I walked to my truck.
"What is it Jake?"
"I need to talk to you. I guess it doesn't matter if, Alice. Hears or not. It involves her. But I have a message for you."
"What kind of message?"
"We were out last night patrolling. Embry came across her trail first. He told us but he didn't wait for us. He followed it on his own. She was feeding on another hiker." My face cringed as he told his story. Victoria was still out there, and close. And she was killing innocent people. "Luckily Embry came across her before she finished him. But we couldn't stop it. We had to kill him ourselves. The transformation had already began to take effect." He looked at me with sadness in his eyes. "She got real pissed that Embry interrupted her dinner."
"Oh my god, Jake, now tell me he's ok!"
"No, he's fine, for the most part. He'll heal. She got a hold of him. Roughed him up a bit. He had cuts and bruises, his arm was broken. But we heal fast Bells. He's pretty much good as new already. A little sore but that's about it."
"What's the message?" Alice asked look of concern on her face. Just then we heard the squealing of tires as they pulled around the corner and came to a sudden stop out front.. It was the Volvo. Edward was next to me within seconds.
"Bella, are you ok?"
"Yea I'm fine, Jacob was telling us what happen last night, he didn't get to finish." I told him, knowing he already knew what Jacob was about to say.
"Ok, go on." he said politely to Jacob.
"She left a message with Embry. For you, for all of us. Including your family." He said as he looked to Edward and Alice.
"What message Jake, just tell me."
"If we don't hand you over by tomorrow night. She's going to start picking us off. One by one. All of us. She said she'll pick off your friends and family. And she specifically said shed save us three for last. That way you can watch as she tortures us." He said as he glanced to Alice and Edward. Tears were falling from my face uncontrollable. I couldn't stop myself, I tried to fight them away but nothing could subdue them. My head was spinning. Everyone I loved everyone I cared about, she would kill them to get to me. She would kill them in front of me just for mere sport. Quill, Embry, Sam. The whole pack. She would come after Charlie, and Renee. She would go after Jacob and his family. Maybe even friends from school. She would kill the Cullen's. she would save Alice and Edward for last. She would make me watch her torture them. Making me wish for death. She would take Edward from me. I would loose him yet again.
