I should have mentioned it to them… all of them. I didn’t want Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper 또는 Baylor to become angry with me, so I didn’t tell them of my plans to let Charlie know about what I’ve become. Alice, Esme, Edward and of course Carlisle were the only ones I told.
After Edward called Carlisle to come help with Charlie and his fainting episode, Carlisle then called Esme at the Cullen house to let her know he would be late, and briefly explained what had happened to Charlie. Esme was on the 집 office phone thinking no one could hear her when she asked Carlisle “Does Charlie know about Bella now?” Followed up 의해 “He fainted after she showed him her skin? Is he ok?”
Somehow Rosalie overheard Esme. Great.
My return to the Cullen house after that was less welcoming than the very first time I had visited, as a human. As soon as Edward, Nessie and I walked through the door, I heard a low heinous growl. Alice glided over to us and whispered the words I was afraid of. “They know”
I didn’t have a 초 to ask Alice any 질문 before Rosalie was face to face with me, her lips pulled over her perfect teeth. Edward and Alice crouched in front of me, Edward letting out a deep growl. It’s odd how they’re all so quick to forget that I’m technically stronger than any of them, from being a newborn. No matter what, though, Edward will eternally feel protective of me.
Rosalie didn’t give me a 초 to explain before she started to interrogate me.
“What will 당신 do when the Volturi find out, Bella?”
“Did 당신 even think to run this past the rest if us?”
Then the last question, this one hurt.
“How could 당신 risk your own daughters life like that?”
Edward’s voice echoed off the white walls as he lashed back at Rosalie. Somehow, this turned into a brawl between just the two of them. I couldn’t let it be this way. This is my fault. I began an attempt to explain myself, but Edward’s voice drowned mine out and Rosalie wouldn’t even look at me, anyway.
Jasper, Emmett and Baylor were completely siding with Rosalie, and even questioned my commitment to this family. Esme and Carlisle swiftly leaped down the stairs at this point, and Carlisle asked that we discuss this in a 더 많이 “respectable manner.” Rosalie kept going with the jabs, though.
“Why should we respect Bella when she can’t follow a simple rule?”
I tried and tried to reassure them all that Charlie wouldn’t tell a soul. I tried to explain how hard it is to have a living human family member who I have to lie to everyday. How hard it is to no longer be able to spend much time with Charlie, and to have no explanation for him when he’s asks me why.
I could see Emmett was beginning to moderately understand my points. He placed his arm around Rosalie, who was still giving me that cadaverous glare. Jasper was clearly enraged, too. Lucky for me, though, Alice was quick to rebuttal anything he said, in my defense.
Edward was half arguing with people’s thoughts, and half arguing actual spoken words, which got confusing, of course.
At one point everyone was growling over each other, no one listening to one another, when Nessie slowly walked towards Rosalie and placed one hand on her cheek.
Rosalie’s face slowly relaxed, her eyes seeming less lethal. Edward had already read Rosalie’s thoughts and mumbled three quick words out loud. “Nessie is scared”.
In what seemed like a fraction of a moment, Baylor hurried upstairs, Alice and Jasper went and sat in front of the television, Emmett and Rosalie stormed off into the 차고 and Carlisle and Esme took Nessie into the backyard and called Jacob to come be with her.
Edward and I stood in the front lobby of the house, stunned, staring at each other. I didn’t know what to say. I couldn’t take it back. Charlie already knows.
In one instantaneous move, Edward placed his arm around me, holding me in his tight, protective grip. I placed my head on his shoulder and let him into my mind. I needed him to see how truly horrible I felt for risking any danger to the Cullen’s, and how regretful I am for posing any danger on our beautiful little Nessie.
I just wish they could see and place as much trust in Charlie as I do. I’ve been back to Charlie’s house, and gave him the long version of our story, once he was sitting down, of course. He wont tell anyone, I know he wont. Another thing, too, is that Charlie’s line of work has required him to keep numerous secrets from the towns people on many occasions.
Before I could finish my train of thought, Baylor almost silently flew down the stairs with the one small 카키색 옷감, 카키색 colored bag he had brought with him, walked past Edward and I without even glancing at us, and flew out the door.
Alice gracefully walked back into the lobby from the t.v room, her eyes focused, body graceful, yet tense. I swiftly glanced at Edward, who was giving Alice a knowing stare. Alice was having a vision and I knew it wasn’t good.
Alice and Edward took me outside, where no one could hear us, and told me that Baylor was going to the Volturi…
To Be Continued…
