Chapter 12
Edward walked over to Bella and picked her up carrying her over to where the other was talking. Bella felt a movement fluttering her brown eyes open to find herself staring into Edward's topaz eyes as a smile of hope spread across her somewhat pale face as the blood slowly returned to her face.
"Don't worry, Bella. James got away, but we won't let him hurt anyone else. You have nothing to worry about except to get better with some rest and fluids."
"Edward I knew you did the right –," Bella mumbled faded into a peaceful slumber.
"Let's get her back to our place to rest," Alice suggested to Carlisle.
"First, we have to notify Charlie and Renee so they no that she is alright and going to make a full recovery," Carlisle mentioned.
"I don't think Rosalie will like that," Emmett warned with a questionable expression.
"Well, that's too bad she'll have to get used to it because she doesn't have any opinion in this decision," Edward bluntly stated. Emmett hissed at his offensive response as Edward just glowered back at him.
Jasper broke the tension by commenting, "Emmett, Edward is right Rosalie will have to get used to Bella because she's with Edward, so she is part of the family now."
Carlisle looked at Bella lying in Edward's arms, and then walked to the lobby as Emmett, Jasper, Edward, and Alice followed behind. Edward laid Bella on the grass momentarily. "We must destroy the studio to destroy any evident that will lead the authority to us."
Carlisle winced at the statement. Edward made it sound as if they had committed a crime wanting to get rid of the evidence." Though he knew the Edward was right, since the police would investigate the scene that would link it to the Cullens. Alice noticed a burgundy Corvette in the corner of the parking lot.
"Edward take Bella back to our place, we'll deal with the studio." Edward followed her glance to the burgundy Corvette hidden in the shadows of the parking lot. Picking up Bella from the dewy grass, he made his way hastily to the car and placing Bella gently in the passenger seat without waking her bucking the seatbelt. Since the Jeep would be needed for the other to getaway, the Corvette would do for the journey back to Forks. Speeding away from the ballet studio, Edward left without making too much noise in the quaint, peaceful neighborhood nearby.
