Chapter 8 – Together at last
…..
Bella POV:
We got back to the castle a hour later. I took the humans to the hall and we all drank till we were full. Then I went to the Cullen's, Jane, Alec and Heidi came with me, I found them in my room they were dotted around all over.
Alice gave me another tight hug and smiled at me constantly. Carlisle and Emmett hugged me and Jasper just smiled from afar. All quietly filed out Jane, Alec and Heidi were unsure about leaving me alone with Edward. But they eventually did. Edward and I were alone.
I sat down next to Edward but not too close, my heart was still shattered, and he probably didn't want me back.
'Bella…I…Er,' he tried to begin, he looked terrible he was in pain, was he even breathing? He was very thirsty how did he manage to get here being around people without killing them?
'Do you need to hunt?' I asked him with new found confidence, maybe if I act friendly he might not feel bad after all I still loved him, I didn't want him to hurt. He nodded and I ran to inform Aro that I would be away for a while.
I quickly arrived back to Edward and we headed towards the gates he was going to find it hard going past all these humans, but we ran full speed and I could stop him if I had to.
We got into the forest once surrounded by huge trees Edward hunted down his prey, his first two were deer and his third was a massive bear, I turned my nose up at them, they smelt terrible.
Edward came back to me covered in blood. He must have been very thirsty. When I was human he told me I could never see him like this.
I starred at him for a second and waited for him to speak, 'Bella, I…I'm so sorry for what I have done to you, I really hope you can forgive me!' He said quicker than it took his to catch his prey. I frowned as I thought about it, I loved him so much.
'Edward, I forgive you' I replied quietly, a small discrete grin appeared on his face but quickly disappeared. 'What happened to you?' he asked with pain appearing again.
'When, Jane and Alec found out about, what happened, they were very angry and upset. Demitri and Felix found me they took me away to Volterra. I was unconscious for most of it when I woke up I was in the castle. They gave me a choice to either stay and become a vampire or be imprisoned here for the rest of my human life. Jane was ecstatic about it and Alec didn't like it at all. But it was too dangerous to take me back home, so I'm here now,' I answered without looking at him.
All I got was a blank, pained look 'I'm sorry' he said, he wanted to give me a hug but he was wary. I decided to help him out I wanted to be in arms just as much as he wanted me in his. I leaned into him and he put his arms around me, I missed him so much is I could have cried I would. We'd been apart for far too long.
Alice POV:
I wasn't even listening to what everyone was talking about; I was just so happy that she was ok. When she had left the room I started listening to the conversation again. I was curious as to what had happened; Jasper would fill me in later.
We were led to a room I guessed it was Bella's it had her strong mouth-watering scent in it. We were left alone for a bit Bella and Heidi were obviously back and they were in the hall we couldn't smell the human blood from here.
Finally Bella, Jane, Alec and Heidi entered the room we were in. Carlisle and Emmett were giving her a hug. Jasper still felt extremely guilty for us leaving so gave her a smile.
We all left leaving Bella and Edward alone.
We went into another room that had another strong scent of Bella in it, I sat on Jaspers lap, I told him it was ok, last time we were here Aro tried to get Edward and I to join them. We talked a bit and just looked into each others eyes, we ignored everyone else.
I froze my eyes fixed on the wall, 'what is it Alice? What do you see?' Jasper asked calmly.
