Enjoy, and review!
Bella
My arm stung as I pushed the blade into it with all the courage I could muster. The plan had worked. As soon as the blood began to splash onto the concrete, I could feel a dozen wine-red eyes staring intensely. I looked up to see Alice trying to control Edward. She was holding him back by both arms, attempting to tug him from the room. Come on, Edward. Leave. I thought as he continued to struggle.
Just as I began to lose hope, Edward's eyes connected with mine and he immediately began to retreat. It was like he could read my mind. I nodded. He grabbed Alice's hand and ran out the door.
"You really shouldn't have done that, Isabella," Aro spoke slowly. "You're in a room full of ravenous, blood-drinking vampires and you cut yourself to save your puny, little boyfriend!"
As he spoke, an engine roared from behind the door. The Maserati knocked the huge, wooden door down surprisingly easily.
"Bella, get in!" Jacob shouted as he swung open the passenger door. I obeyed, without hesitation. I slid onto the leather passenger seat, with blood still heavily flowing from my arm. As soon as I was in the car and the door was shut, Jake slammed his foot down on the accelerator. He drove out of the hall, across the city centre and down through a maze of winding streets. About three-hundred yards in front of us, the other Maserati – containing Bella and Alice – was leading the way out of Volterra.
An hour later, we pulled into Siena-Ampugnano Airport, where an anxious Emmett was waiting. After I had gone into the hall, he had immediately run down to the airport to book five tickets on the next plane to Washington.
"Why did the plan have to involve you hurting yourself, Bella?" Edward asked as he put a fresh bandage on my still-bleeding arm.
"I would've done anything to get you out of there."
"I know," he sighed like it was a bad thing. "Thank-you."
I climbed off the soft, cotton chair and wrapped myself around him. He lifted me from the floor and held me tightly against his chest.
"I still love you, Bella." He whispered into my ear.
"I love you too…"
