Chapter 2

Edwards POV

Watching Bella sleep gave me a sense of peace. I loved being with her in her room because I knew if anything were to even become a threat to her, I would be there.

"Edward?" I heard Bella whispering out to me.

I knew she probably had another nightmare so I took her in my arms and hummed my lullaby to her. I loved having her in my arms, where I could protect her at all costs.

"Edward?" She whispered yet again.

"Yes, Bella?" I said back, worried because she usually never outlasted my entire lullaby.

"I keep having this feeling like someone is watching me, or the—"

I did not hear her say the rest because at that moment I heard something move outside, and whatever was out there, it would not harm Bella on my watch.

As I jump out the window, I immediately see a man outside, he seemed to have a gun in this pocket.

"Now, where is the girl?" I heard him thinking.

"Get out of here." I said.

He was startled because he did not see me and was starting to say something, but because he was frightened, he could not be understood. I could smell his fear.

In the bushes I could see another man coming, and another one, each had guns in their hands and each were thinking about who would be the first to commit a murder tonight, and kill me. Unfortunately for them, they had no idea, the only people who would die tonight, is them.

"Edward?"

I heard Bella say from the window.

They could not hurt me, but they could hurt Bella. And that was the only thing about them that frightened me.

"Go back inside Bella. Now." I instructed her.

I heard her shut the window and so I approached the men.

"What do you want?" I hissed.

"The girl." The man in the black said. He had a scruffy beard and was a bit overweight.

"Why?" I asked.

"Don't tell him Joe," Another man said, to the scruffy man. "Just give her to us." He barked back at me.

"Not without a fight."

"Too bad Adam is already inside with her." I heard another one of the men thinking.

"Bella!" I yelled, while jumping up to her window.

"Bella?" I whispered while I was inside, in case they hadn't gotten a hold of her yet.

Then I heard the worst noise I could ever hear, Bella being hit.

"Bella where are you?!" I yelled.

"Edward!"

It was faint but I heard her.

"Why won't this girl shut the hell up?" I heard the man thinking.

Because he decided to let that comment out, I knew exactly where they were, they were in the bathroom. But Bella continued to try to scream and the man began to yell at her.

"Shut up!"

And then he hit Bella in the face. Not only did I hear it, I saw it.

"If you touch her again, I will kill you without giving you a chance to explain yourself." I hissed.

Because the man tested my word, he decided to hit Bella yet again. Outraged, I threw the man into the wall, and then he fell to the floor. I didn't care if he was dead or just unconscious, all I cared about was getting Bella. I sensed about fifteen other men in the hallway and about twenty outside still. I would tear them all limb from limb if one of the men weren't holding a gun to Bella's head.

"Don't come any closer." Said the man, holding the gun at Bella.

I was tired of them testing my patience. I quickly ducked under him, side stepped, and grabbed his gun between my hands. He had no time to react and before he knew it, I twist the gun, along with his hands, and broke the gun free. I pointed the gun back to him.

"Leave." I said.

Half of everyone, quite afraid now, did exactly that, and left. The other half got out their own guns and went to point them at Bella. I took yet another one down so quickly none of them saw until I was pointing a gun to their leader's head.

"I said, Leave. Now."

"Ok, ok, just be rational!" The man I had my gun pointed to said.

"Were you rational? No, you weren't. Leave before I kill you all."

And they did exactly that, they all left.

"This won't be the last you see of us." Said the leader.

And with that final note, they were gone.

"Bella," I said, trying to calm her down.

"It's ok, Bella, I've got you now, you're ok."
