I was outside in about one second and running faster than I ever had before. Not Bella, not her. Emmett was an idiot! Setting Mike on the loose for unsuspecting humans with mouth watering scents and soft, ivory skin…
Bella was not dead. Bella was going to live and be human. I wasn't going to be responsible for the lost souls of two humans. I pushed myself faster.
At least I got him out of here… Hope Edward won't be pissed. Emmett was thinking.
Who was that? Smelled damn good… Mike was thinking.
I didn't even bother to wonder how Emmett had managed to get Mike away from her. I just ran until I slammed into Emmett.
"What the HELL were you thinking?" I roared. Literally.
"What?" Emmett looked surprised at my anger.
I knew he'd be mad, but not this pissed. I saved whoever it was. Emmett thought.
"WHOEVER it was? THAT WAS BELLA SWAN YOU IDIOT!" I shouted at him.
"She's safe! She's fine!" Emmett started to back up. Good.
"How could you – how can you – how did you think…"
I was ranting. I was pacing. I was grabbing my hair in my fingers and going frantic. Bella Swan had almost been attacked by a vampire that Jasper created not even a week ago. I wasn't going through this again. Bella will never go through this. She was so close to losing her life today. I couldn't blame her; she was allowed to walk around. She was allowed to be human. She wasn't allowed to die. We weren't allowed to exist.
"If you can't handle Mike, then leave him to me. I understand that you're trying to help, but if you can't help properly, then don't bother." I said quietly.
I was trying to control my temper. I was still shaking a little but it took all my self-control not to just hit him nice and hard… just this once…
I'm sorry. I didn't know. He began.
"Honestly, we were just fooling around and joking but then we both smelled something. He didn't go ballistic or anything. He was as mature as we are, it seemed. He asked me what it was, and then I realised. I dragged him home and he followed without complaint." Em said.
"Really?" I was taken aback. "He didn't even struggle?"
"Nope."
"Jasper can't even do that." I shook my head. "Impossible."
"I tell no lies." Emmett shrugged.
I realise that. I can hear his arrogant thoughts.
"I'm sorry, Ed." I raised my eyebrow at him. "Edward." He corrected quickly.
"Be careful or just stay out of the way." I warned.
"Deal. You got pretty pissed over this so I wouldn't want to freak you out again. You may be as strong as a girl, but I really don't feel like fighting you. You cheat."
I half smiled.
"Where's Mike?" I asked.
"Hunting right now. He's close, don't worry. I was following him when I ran into you." Emmett shrugged again.
"Stay with him or don't help." I repeated.
"I'm going, I'm going."
He ran away.
Sheesh. He better go and turn Bella into a vamp or we'll have to deal with this daily. He thought as he ran.
I growled loud enough for him to hear. I realised that he was right. Bella wasn't safe while we were alive. Because of Jasper, because of me, because of Mike, we basically sentenced her to death.
