Chapter 12 - Home Sweet Home?
Bella POV:
The ride home was quiet as I sat next to my uncle in the passenger seat.
"Isabella, mia cara don't worry about anything they will not touch you." Aro said.
"I know, I just don't want to be reminded of all the horrible things that happened to me there." I replied
"You know what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger but when it is time for you to prove yourself you take all that angst and anger and you let it go." Aro said encouragingly.
"Thanks Uncle Aro." I said
"Anything for you Isabella." Aro replied
"How is aunt Sulipicia?" I asked
"Angry and jealous." Aro replied.
"Why?" I asked
"Remember when I told you about Renata?" Aro asked
"Yeah, what about her?" I asked
"Renata has a crush on me and Sulpicia is pissed!" Aro replied.
"Can you blame her?" I asked
"What is that supposed to mean?" Aro asked
"Well the way you described her to me she sounds like she is gorgeous!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah, so what?" Aro asked
"Aunt Sully probably feels threatened by her." I replied.
"Wow, I never thought about that." Aro replied.
"Make her feel special." I said.
My cell phone rang and it was Edward
'Hello. I said
'Hi is everything okay?' Edward asked.
'Everything is good. We are pulling up to the house now.' I replied
'I miss you already'. Edward said.
Why is he here?' I said aloud.
'Who Bella?' Edward asked.
'I'll call you later'. I said then hung up the phone.
"Come on Bella let's see why this wolf is here?" Aro asked.
We got out the car and as I walked to the door I felt uneasy but My uncle took my hand and my confidence returned.
I knocked on the door and my father opened it and asked where I was. I shrugged my shoulders and he pulled me into a tight embrace. I walked in the door and all the memories of abuse came to my mind and I felt the sudden urge to cry.
"Dad I have a surprise for you." I said
"What is it?" Charlie asked.
"Hello Charlie, it's been too long." Aro said
"Hey Aro, how are you?" Charlie asked.
"I've been good." Aro said walking into the house.
"Renee she's home and Aro is woth here." Charlie said.
"Bella baby I missed you and how are you Aro?" Renee said with a smile.
"Where are your brothers?" Charlie asked.
"They stayed back home." Aro replied.
"I'm gonna go to my room." I said.
"Bella we have company. Billy and Jacob are here." Charlie replied
"Oh okay, I'm sorry I didn't mean to be rude." I said.
We all had dinner and Billy and Jacob left afterwards and I went to go take a shower. My uncle went outside to give Carlisle an update.
When I was in the shower I heard someone come into the bathroom but I didn't see anyone so I continued to wash.
When I turned off the water I was ambushed by the fist of my father. I immediately fell to the ground.
"Did you really think by bringing Aro with that we wouldn't get you back for the shit you put us through!" Renee said quietly.
"You stink little heifer." Charlie said while he repeatedly kicked me in my rib cage.
Suddenly the door downstairs opened and they left me laying on the floor.
I got up and dry myself off wincing at the pain I felt. I got dressed and went to my room. I opened the window so Edward could come in and I laid on my bed waiting for Aro to come see about me. I cried and cried knowing that if I didn't come home I wouldn't be in so much pain. I caught myself in thought and said this isn't a home or a house...it's a prison! The Cullens House or the Castle in Volterra that is a home. I got up and looked in my mirror my eye was purple and black and my ribcage was red and swollen.
*Meanwhile Downstairs*
"In her room probably." Charlie answered.
"I'm going to tell her good night!" Aro said.
"Okay." Renee and Charlie answered together.

Bella's POV:
*Knock Knock*
"Come in." I answered.
"Cara, what happened to you?" Aro asked cupping her cheek in his hand.
"They beat me on my way out the shower." I replied
"Did they do anything else?" Aro asked
"My ribs are swollen." I replied
I let out a sob and Aro pulled me into a strong embrace and I stayed in his arms till I fell asleep. I woke up in the middle of the night and smelled a familiar scent. I looked up and met the eyes of Edward. I was so happy to see him that a tear came out of my eye.
"Don't worry,I'm here." Edward said
"Edward, I wanna go home." I said.
"Soon love, soon." Edward replied.
"Go back to sleep. You need your rest. I will be here when I wake up." Edward added.
"I really love you Edward and I am happy you are in my life." Bella said before letting sleep overtake her.
"Ditto my love." Edward replied
