I didn't add much about the story of Rosalie's past because I figured everyone who was reading this has read Eclipse and I didn't want to be repetitive.
Please review and tell what you think, the good or the bad.
I glared at my god like boyfriend from the front seat of his volvo, Alice was talking loudly in the background making grand gestures with her tiny hands, the deep purple circles under his eyes were getting ridiculous not to mention his eye color almost matched his pupil perfectly. We pulled into the driveway of my home well my father's home.
"Oh well, I will see you tomorrow Bella" Alice spoke leaving the car before it was fully parked, I watched as Edward's eyes glared at the way his sister disappeared to fast for human eyes to see her.
"We need to talk" I told him as he shut the car off, he looked over at me his crooked smile in place although his eyes were tight around the edges.
"Humor me, Bella" He told me, even though I was angry it still made my heart flutter when he said my name he exited the car, I exited quickly causing him to pause a few feet from my door his eyebrow raised, I wasn't giving him the gentlemanly satisfaction of opening my car door. We walked silently up to my front door, him unlocking it before I could get the house key out of my bag, I just pushed my way passed him. He shut the door quietly while I turned watching him crossing my arms. He turned around eyeing me humor danced on the corner of his mouth, he walked over to me slowly bending down to kiss me trying to make me forget why I was mad at him, I took a step back. His face went to a mask of complete shock, now I was the one fighting a smile.
"You can't keep avoiding hunting" I told him my voice loosing its edge when I looked into his dark eyes.
"I am not avoiding anything" He told me taking a step forward to ruffle my hair then cupped part of my face, I closed my eyes his touch erasing my headaches.
"Don't lie to me" I told him bringing up one of my hands to hold Edward's hand to my cheek. "I know what happened last time…. It was not fair to you. And I swear I won't let it happen this time" I opened my eyes to see the pain in his, it reminded me of every time the ballet studio incident is brought up, the memory made me shutter the scar tingling. His thumb rubbed my bottom lip.
"I just want things to go back to the same before…" I swallowed down the lump in my throat averting my eyes to the ground where we stood toe to toe.
"I don't want Alice constantly trying to see if I am going to break down, and I would like for Jasper to stop manipulating my emotions every time I am around him. And I wish you would stop treating me like I am a porcelain doll" I told him. These past two weeks have been hard, he never left me alone unless I was in the bathroom. A Cullen was always with me, it was annoying.
"Maybe we could compromise?" Edward asked after a few moments of silence, he let go of my face only to grab my other hand and pull me to the couch where we sat down only for him to pull me into his lap.
"Maybe" I agreed and smiled at him happy I was getting my way.
"I will go hunting if you stay at my house while I am gone and-"
"And?" I asked my eyes going wide, this didn't sound like a compromise it sounded like Edward getting his way.
"You call me when you wake up and when you go to bed" Edward told me kissing my temple softly then pulling away his eyes closed his mouth tight, his chest stopped moving.
"Okay" I agreed as long as he hunted, I wasn't going to let him starve just because I was a mental case. I was just lucky he was with me at this point.
It was refreshing to see Emmett's face, thus far he was the only person who hasn't treated me differently laughing loudly when I walked in pillow under my arm and backpack slung over my shoulder. I had almost gotten lost on my drive here, Chief Swan wasn't thrilled about me staying the night with Alice, when I had first told him Edward was going camping with his "father" suspected me of lying but then he realized how upset I genuinely was he couldn't wait to push me out of the door, nothing scared Charlie more then teenage emotions.
"Who gets the pleasure of babysitting our lean cuisine?" Emmett has laughed when I walked into the door, I rolled my eyes but smiled at the normalization. Edward has kissed me a little more feverishly then normally making my blood boil pulling away to soon, before I could even get a full breath back into my lungs I was in a Emmett bear hug he laughed I could feel his cold breath on my head he spun me in a few circles and set me down I went to step back but lost my footing because I was dizzy from the spinning Edward caught me by the arm letting out a sharp growl at his favorite brother.
"Don't do anything to funny while we're gone" Emmett teased a dimple forming in his cheek, I glared at him Edward just shook his head this time.
"Be careful Bella" Carlisle told me with a soft smile joining the other boys, with a few more words the boys were gone with a soft wind, I didn't realize Jasper was doing anything to my emotions until he was out of the room a ache started in my chest from Edward's absence. Two days, that is what Edward promised me apparently there was a over population of black bear somewhere north, apparently black bear were not as fun as grizzles according to Emmett.
"How about some nice relaxing girl time?" Alice said suddenly then clapped her hands together.
"Do I really have a choice?" I asked trying to make a joke but not being able to move my eyes away from where Edward left.
I don't understand why it has started to bother me now? I have been able to forget about… him for a few years now and now I felt like he was following me everywhere I went watching.. Waiting. I shuttered away from the thought starting to feel faint.
"Nope" Alice said popping the 'p' dragging me to the couch her cool hand felt good against my sweaty palm.
Alice's "girl time" wasn't all that bad, I had a green mask on my face with my hair pulled back in a bun it smelled minty and was starting to dry around my eyes. She was painting my fingers a deep blue color going at a human speed. Esme was set beside me sketching something in a notebook even Rosalie seemed to be enjoying herself in the floor flipping through several magazines thanks to Alice. I yawned this caught all of the attention of the vampires in a matter of minutes my nails were dry and Alice was wiping the green mask off of my face telling me that I wouldn't do it right myself. I went to Edward's room to sleep because it smelled faintly like him, Alice left me alone with a long concerned stare (long for a vampire) then closed the door behind her.
I changed into one of Edward's t-shirts and let my hair down setting my pillow on the couch then turned off the lights the moon lighting the room dug pathetically in my bag for my phone pressing a button making the screen light up I quickly dialed Edward's number yawning, I stumbled over to his couch sitting on the cool leather, it felt weird against my bare legs.
"Hello" Edward said on the fifth ring.
"Hey" I said into the phone the ache in my chest gone I unfolded the blanket at the end of the couch covering up with it.
"How are you?" Edward worried over the phone.
"I am fine although Alice painted my nails and that has its drawbacks" I told him then yawned embarrassingly loud causing Edward to laugh.
"I should let you sleep, I miss you" Edward told him, I heard Emmett's voice in the background then I heard Edward growl.
"Don't say that" I told him trying not to get all weepy on him.
"It's true" He told me, before the sadness became more apparent in my voice I needed to end this call.
"Good night, I love you. Bring me home some black bear" I joked and laid back on the pillow.
"Goodnight Bella, sleep well. I wish I could dream right now because I would be dreaming of being with you" Edward told me softly on the phone making my insides melt. I heard Emmett laugh loudly in the background.
"Take your time, but don't take to long. Miss you too" I told him then hung up shoving my phone under my pillow turning to get comfortable I tucked the warm blanket around me. My eyes fell close I could feel my breaths going slower then their was a soft knock on the door.
"Yeah Alice?" I called in a thick voice not bothering opening my eyes, I heard the door open.
"It's me, I uh hope you don't mind" Rosalie spoke, my eyes opened quickly sleep gone out of the window, I was now very awake. "I want to talk with you if you don't mind, I hope I am not imposing" She spoke her voice soft.
"No no no, come in" I told her sitting up my cheeks flushing, she closed the door and joined me on the couch at human speed.
"Has Edward told you about how I became a vampire?" She asked her skin looked even more pale under the moon's light, her face hard to see I knew she could see mine perfectly.
"No he's never mentioned it" I told her, if he did I couldn't remember it, it was hard to think with Rosalie being this nice to me.
"I won't go into graphic detail, but I know what is like to feel alone like you. It has been around seventy odd years and I still sometimes feel like you do or how you did a few weeks. I was in love with the idea of love and this idea almost killed me" She started her face seemed like it was disappearing to a different time.
I didn't know I was crying until Rosalie reached over and lightly wiped my cheek, her face formed into a perfect frown.
"I know you may not want to talk about it, I respect that. But Emmett has really helped me, talking to him makes it better, Edward is a lot stronger then you give him credit for" Rosalie went on to say.
I could vividly picture her fiancé in my mind, I could smell the alcohol and bad breath I could feel his warm hands on my body I flinched picturing it. And I have been sitting here feeling sorry for myself because one guy… I wasn't going to think about what he did but Rosalie had several men harm her, strip away her pride. How could I hurt when she has hurt much more than me, I felt guilty.
"I killed them all you know?" She asked me a small grin on her face. "I never tasted their blood, I saved Royce for last I even wore a wedding dress" Her laugh filled the room I felt my stomach turn, at least I had stopped crying
"If you want me to kill him Bella I swear to whatever god exists I will" She told me her eyes were easier to see now that my eyes had adjusted to the dark. I swallowed and took a few deep breaths.
"N-no thank you, I don't think that would er help me" I fumbled to choose the right words without offending her.
"I had a hunch you would say that. We're much different yet the same in some ways" She mused, Rosalie was acting more like herself now that she stopped retelling her horror story.
"I should let you sleep now, thanks for listening to my story Bella. I hoped it helps you in some way" Rosalie told me standing up, I felt my blood turn into ice as I panicked. The thoughts of Royce and his friends clouded my brain and in with those faces were now his.
"Please don't" I begged her my voice cracked, she swiftly went over to Edward's stereo I heard cd cases open and the stereo kick on. A soft piano sound came from the speakers calming me a little, reminding me of Edward, she sat in the floor beside my side of the couch.
"It's okay to sleep Bella, I will make sure he doesn't get you. If he even comes fifty miles close to this house I'll kill him" Her voice soothing like a lullaby until she snarled the last part hate filling her tone, I laid down turning and facing her she pulled the covers up.
"Sorry I have been so horrible to you, I will be nicer" She promised me, the room was quiet after that I yawned my sleepiness coming back, the piano made me picture Edward's face instead of the faces of monsters.
"Rosalie?" I asked her my eyes falling closed.
"Yes Bella" She spoke softly.
"Thank you" I told her so quietly I wasn't sure she understood a few moments after that I was quickly asleep.
