A/N: Hi! I hope you all had a great holiday! I'll let you read the chapter and catch you at the bottom.
Chapter 6
When I woke up the room was in complete darkness all except for a few candles that were on the other side of the room. Jasper and Edward were huddled beside them, talking in hushed whisperers as they looked down at a piece of paper.
I wondered what they were doing. I sat up slowly, hoping to get a better look, but the bed creaked beneath me, drawing their attention.
Edward rushed over to my side. He crouched down next me as his callous hands gently stroked my face. "How are you feeling?" he asked with genuine concern.
"Fine ... I think," I replied gazing up at him, wondering why he cared.
"You scared the hell out of me, out of us."
"What happened?" I asked. I wasn't sure if the conversation I had heard with Esme had been real or not.
"You took a funny turn and passed out … Probably because you needed to eat. We saved you some dinner. I'll heat it up for you," Edward said as he stood up and started to walk away.
"Wait," I shouted after him. Something wasn't right. He was hiding something from me. I racked my brains trying to remember as much of the conversation as I could, but all it did was make my head hurt. I could only remember Esme's name and that they had been talking about me, but anything other than that was gone.
"What about the woman … The doctor that was here? Esme, wasn't it? She was here to see me, wasn't she? Why?"
Edward quickly glanced at Jasper with a worried expression on his face before turned back to me with his poker-face in place. "I have no idea what you are talking about. You must have been dreaming. No one was here, but us."
"You're lying," I shouted. "I heard a woman. There was a woman here."
"No," Edward snapped. "You didn't. There was no one else here, but us," he yelled as he stormed for the door.
I opened my mouth to protest, but he spun around to glare at me. There was something about his eyes, something so menacing and fierce that it made me drop the subject straight away.
Edward's word was final.
A/N:
Okay,I am asking you all to bear with me as I try to get myself out of holiday mode and into working mode. *sigh* I don't want to go back to routine, but I will get there and get back to updating this daily.
There is a chapter of Relentless in the works, just please be patient.
I posted a O/S 'Bella Swan Loser' if you fancy something slightly sweet.
Also, Betrayal has been nominated for The Top 10 Completed fics of December on the TwiFanfictionRecs site. If you want to toss a few votes my way I would be more than grateful, and if you haven't read Betrayal yet then you totes should!
Thanks x x
