Chapter 8
Confusion
Bella's pov:
I was still dazed and holding onto Edward when I felt a cold pair of arms wrap around me, this woke me up like an electric shock.
"You must be Bella" The beautiful strawberry blond said "I'm Tanya, welcome to Alaska!" I smiled shyly towards her and to let me go and held Edward even tighter, his face looked strained and painful.
"Hello Bella, I'm Eleazar and this is Carmen I hope you enjoy your time here" I feel at ease staring at the two in front of me, this quickly faded as the next two women looked very intimating and beyond words for how beautiful they where. "I'm kate and this is Irina" she smiled at me and held out her hand I of course politely shook it, as my hand was firmly placed in Kate's all Vampires around me gasped, Edward growled and pulled me behind him, what danger did I miss?
"You could of killed her" Edward hissed at kate. Killed me how? through a handshake?
"Please Edward don't insult me I never would of hurt her just a little buzz, I heard she was the only one yet to keep you out of her head and wanted to see if she could keep me out as well" Kate calmly replied, Still all my family's eye were fixed upon her with murderous glares. A little buzz? what did she mean? She laughedand greeted my family then bounced of with Irina in tow. The look of confusion must still be painted on my face as Alice danced to me and explained that Kate had a power too, she could electrocute anyone from skin to skin contact. "She tried electrocuting me?" I half shrieked
"Tried and failed" Eleazar said looking completely bewildered.
"Well you are special, can see why they keep you around" Tanya said, almost insulting.
"Shall we go inside and catch up there" Mom suggested.
We headed inside the huge house which mom had been decorating and restoring over the last few months. It was very grand and classic and old, I instantly liked it. The living room was filled full of suiting furniture and light by the huge windows all around. I hadn't realised I was supporting myself and Edward was towering over a glowing Alice having one of their silent conversations over the other side of the room. I was so completely taken in by my new house. I sat on the huge sofa and the sleepless night hit me I could hardly hold my eyes open when Carlisle's arms picked me up and took me to my new bedroom, I wasn't able to stay awake long enough to take in the rest of the house.
I knew I was sleeping because I was looking into a mirror and seeing an older version of myself staring back and turned around to see tall trees looming over me, I was alone although I never felt alone I could hear sound and noises but I wasn't scared "Bella" someone whispered I could not recognise the voice, "Bella" someone else said I knew that voice. "Edward" I shouted into the vast emptiness, "Bella" It was closer now and that wasn't Edward but yet I still didn't feel scared. Something moved in the trees behind me, I turned to look but nothing was there and turn back the other way and saw Edward dressed in black formal smiling widely at me his took my hand and kissed my wrist. I couldn't understand his clothes until I looked down and saw I was wearing a white gown, I looked to him for answers but he wasn't there. I ran after him crying out his name. I started to feel hot very hot, my wrist was burning and there was blood pouring from a bite mark, I was on fire or that's what it felt like and I fell to the ground blistering in pain calling Edwards name. "Bella" a voice came close to me, but it was not Edward. It person blurred and the last thing I could see was a wolf running away from me. I woke in a cold sweat, what was that? I looked at my wrist no blood, no teeth marks and sighed just a dream I told myself, I think I was more unnerved by waking up than staying in that dream.
I walked downstairs to find 11 vampires in the living room sitting almost still .I walked towards them and sat on the sofa next to Rose and Emmet. Strange. I feel I was the topic of the conversation as they all stared at me, never before have I felt so self concious. Wheres Edward? I searched the room but did not find his golden eyes to be among all those fixed on my face. Wheres my Edward?
My Edward?
Carlisle's pov:
I placed Bella in her new bed, shes had a long day. I headed downstairs to the waiting crowd, knowing Eleazar he'd have alot of concerns and would have to voice them. I walked into the room Edward looked slightly paler, Alice looked pleased, the rest turned to me.
"Eleazar, I expect you need to air your views?"
"I am completely dumbfounded by Bella not only has she avoid the Volturi's clutches, which I will get to but the potential that child has is extremely rare. She not only holds out Edwards abilities but now Kate's? extraordinary she seems almost designed for our life you must see this?" Edward looked angry at the last part "be calm he means no harm in his words Edward"I thought to my son.
"Bella will live a very long happy human life as natural had indented"
"That is if the Volturi don't find her and my friend it's a miracle they haven't found out about her sooner you must know your playing a dangerous game with her life"
"We would not let anything harm her and if they tried we would fight" Edward snapped in, clearly meaning his words. I walked over to him and place my hand on his shoulder he looked at me and the sat on the chair behind him.
"What Edward means to say is that if Volturi ever planned on checking if we had a human in our family Alice would know and we would make the right course of action" which we did discuss once a very long time ago and have decided not to reopen the conversation until now. Maybe reckless on our part.
"Bella is every part of our family, what ever remains in her future we will live in her present and embrace the now, helping her lead a happy life" Esme always so clam.
"How come she's never met anyone else of our kind, surly in the many years shes been with you old friends have visited?" kateasked now entering the room with Irina behind her. Edward tensed again.
"I saw the vistes and we took Bella away" Alice chimmed to them.
"Protecting her? or hiding her from the world she now lives in? Irina asked, of course protecting why would we not?
"Carlisle, Esme, all of you I can clearly see the love Bella hold for you and the love you return to her, it's I hate to see this end so badly if it can all be avoided"
"I WILL NOT TAKE AWAY HER LIFE AND DAMN ANYONE IN THIS ROOM WHO TRYS" Edward left such strong words and stormed out to th garden.
"I see this is not a subject that can be continued on, I will say no more and accept Bella into our life as you have" Tanya spoke for her family.
We sat in almost silence for a long time just reminiscing on our lost years, not fully into the conversation. I could hear bella approaching, as did the others. She walked in the room completely unaware of the conversations of her fate that just taken place. Shes looking for Edward, who had not returned from the garden where he was still pacing.
Edwards pov:
How could they sit there discussing the best way to take Bella's life? How could they? Never could I let them. I paced the garden looking for answers. Answers for the questions they were throwing at us, answers for Alice'svery clear visions. I loved Bella very much but to be in love with her, no. I know that the 14 year old girl in that house is twisted throughtoutmy being but I fall in love with the woman she'll become. How absurd its sounds I could not, not believe it I feel it deep down. No I could not let this happen I must save her, I must save her soul. As long as she don't love me in return my feeling would not be anything more than mere feelings, I simply won't act on them.
I walked slowly toward the house, I can see Bella sitting next to Rose in all their mind and all their thoughts about this one girl. Carlisle's his me the hardest "Shes looking for Edward".
Oh no its starting. I must stop it.
