Chapter 5
"Why is she walking to the treaty line, my god no Bella" snapped Edward.
"No" shouted Jacob
"Has Sam sensed her" asked Carlisle
"Yes and he's got the pack together" he cut off as he phased and disappeared into the forest, Edward followed as they reached the line there she was on one side and Sam and the pack on the other the horse like wolves paced along the line making grunting noises to one another.
"They wouldn’t" hissed Edward reading the packs thoughts
"She’s going to cross the line Edward yes they will and they must" said Jacob he was now in his human form and so was Seth they stood near the line looking misplaced beside their brothers.
"Bella, NO!" shouted Edward, she glanced then carried on walking every step a deliberate move forward.
Jacob jumped in front of her but she just walked round him as if he were invisible. This time Edward was the one in front of her trying to pull her off course but it was impossible to hold her.
"Sam stand down" Jacob snarled, Sam stared at him,
"Why she’s going to break the treaty, I don’t understand" he barked back in whines and hisses.
"She's upset, just trust me on this one" Jacob pleaded
Sam whined at his brothers and they retreated slowly back into the forest, as they did Bella fell to her knees with a sickening scream, she was holding her head in her hands, Edward couldn’t move he didn’t know what was happening to her. The rest of the Cullen’s had arrived and Edward looked at Carlisle then Jasper hoping they could help him.
Jasper walked slowly towards her, she looked up "Help me" she cried, a thousand thought flooded her mind and Edward shook his head in anger, "No Bella how could you think that" he yelled,
"What?" asked Carlisle,
"She thought this way was quicker than going to Italy, she cannot stand not being in control" he hissed
Alice ran forwards and grabbed her by the shoulders neither Edward nor Jasper had time to react, "Are you completely mental? One trip to Italy is enough, why after all this time, after everything you have got do you want to end this?" she hissed at Bella, who whispered so fast and low it was only meant for Alice’s ears.
"Of course he still loves you, you’re not a monster" spat Alice looking over to Jasper for some help, he knelt and placed his arms around hers and she was overwhelmed. She found herself lay on the golden bed, had she been dreaming was she still human or had something horribly snapped in her brain, she could hear voices downstairs, angry voices,
"I don’t know why she’s acting .........well human again she is emotionally unstable like any newborn but she seems to be mimicking human feelings too" sighed Carlisle, there was a crash of glass and she knew that was Edward. Was she ill, but vampires didn’t get ill she thought to herself, she decided to sit up, Alice would see and he would be upstairs in seconds.
Sure enough seconds later he was stood at the door, she looked at him and thought of the first time they had kissed in the meadow he exhaled and smiled his crooked smile. Then she thought of Riley and Bree and of Carlisle’s conversation with Henry, he pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers.
"That’s why you wanted to end it?" he exhaled "You think you’re like them, like the newborns Victoria made" his lip curled as he spoke her name. She nodded.
Then she remembered the wedding day and their first night, where he didn’t hold back on her she paused on all of the details of that passionate night, how he held her and the feel of his body against hers, when she was in control of her body and mind, he stifled a laugh.
"Can it ever be that way again?" she whispered
"Every day, forever" he whispered walking slowly to the bed, "I love you, I have always loved you, and I WILL always love you" he smiled.....
"But you wanted me to hurt Jake, you gloated I COULD hurt him" Bella sat up,
"I'm sorry I didn’t realize you had taken it like that, you’re not dangerous I'm sorry I didn’t help, forgive me" he smiled he pulled her back down and caressed her back with one hand whilst twisting her hair in the other.
Then the buttons of his shirt flew off he laughed "That was my best shirt" he mumbled through his lips
"Shut up" she laughed, she could feel his breath on the hollow of her neck,
"Do I still smell good" she mumbled
"MMM even better" he whispered moving his lips down her arm and then to her wrists and her palms, electricity flowed through them both his shirt ripped and was on the floor in shreds, she pushed him back down on the bed, he winced.
"Sorry" she jumped up; he was laughing as he took a look at the shock on her beautiful face,
"It’s okay, kinda nice really" he laughed” and to think I’ve been holding back on you Mr. Cullen" her eyes were golden and burned with passion .
"Oh I think I can handle you" and with that he pulled her back down.
