I took a deap breath soaking in all the scents. At least this time around, Jane couldn't hurt Edward or any of my family with her cruel power. I felt Edward squeeze my hand as Carlise wlked over to the door and opened it. There standing 20 feet away was Jane, her cruel features still in tact. Her gaze went from Carlisle directly to me and then into my golden eyes.
"Hello Jane. What a pleasant suprise. Please come in." said Carlisle gesturing into the house. Jane however continued to stare into my eyes without blinking.
"Actually, i was wondering if i could talk to Bella, personally." Immediatly, Edward's hand tightened around my waist and i was very glad that i was a vampire, for that oculd have literally snapped me in half. Carlisle however looked at me quizingly as if i would suddenly pack my bags and leave for Volterra. I scroweled and turned my attention back to Jane who was still starring at me.
"Whatever you have to say Jane, you can say it in front of everyone." Jane's face turned into a scrowl and i felt a ping as though she was trying to hurt me with her powers. When she saw that i no anyone in my family was in any pain at all, her face turned to astonishment and then quickly to anger.
"Fine, Bella, as you may know, we...Aro is very interested in the new power that you have and your what sort of...food you eat. He sent me to offer you and your 'gifted' family members spots as gaurds at Volterra." Jane said this with a monotone voice, trying to hide the disguist in her voice. There was a deep intake of breath from everyone and i felt the gaze of everyone on me. Anger boiled in me. Hadn't i made it clear enough? I wanted to be here. I didn't want power, i wanted Edward, i wanted this lifestyle, this eternal time with this family. Apparently i hadn't made it clear enough.
"Jane," i said, trying to stop myself from screaming at her," give my regards to Aro with a declination. Also make it clear, very clear, that i am part of the Cullens, and i WILL be part of this family for the rest of eternity, i am Edward's wife, Esme and Carlisle's daughter, Alice, Emmet, Jasper, and Rosalie's sister, and i will be that untill i die." I sighed as Edward kissed my hair gently. The whole family seemed to relax at my conforting words, all embracig their meaning too. Jane looked like she'd been slapped in the face. Her mouth was half-way opened and she was trying to hurt me with much force, but to her dismay, i didn't even flinch. After a few more seconds, Jane straightened up and turned to Edward.
"And you?"
"No thank you, but give my regards to Aro." Jane did't even listen to him, she lastly turned to Jasper and Alice standing in the corner.
I sensed Jasper immediatly straighten up and slightly mve Alice behind him.
"I speak for both of us that we decline." said Jasper in a harsh tone. Jane snarled at Jasper, increacing her effort to bring mental pain down on us all.
"This is not your choice for her. She must decide on her own!" said Jane through clenched teeth. Alice finally escaped Jasper's grasp finally turning to Jane so she could see the fury on her face.
"You...you..ugg!" Alice threw her hands up in the air in frustration. She stromed out of the living room and into the kitchen.
"No, and it will ALWAYS be No." she said from the other room. Jasper shot her a deathly glance and then left to go calm down Alice.
Carlisle had been standing still for quite a while but suddenly he was holding it open for Jane. Jane looked around at us, snarling at me especially, and then she left, her black cloak flying behind her.
As soon as Jane was 100 miles away, everyone relaxed immediatly and slowely seperated into couples. Jasper and Alice had gone hunting and the rest of the family decided to join them too. Edward rubbed circles on my back as we lay down on the bed, processing what had happened.
"You know, that was a pretty good speech back there." said Edward and he laughed at me. I felt a smile come on to my face.
"Shut up Edward." i said playfully, throwing a pillow at him. He ducked and the pillow hit Edward's CD's on the other side of the room. Shock was written all over his face as he tried to sniffle the horrors of all his CD collection falling apart. I giggled. He suddenly had a pillow out on top of me, his eyes bright with excitement.
'No edward don't...." i said, trying to hide my laughter. As he began to hit me, I sped off down the stairs into the living room, looking for a hard pillow to wack Edward with. As soon as i grabbed a good pillow, Edward was behind me, wacking me everywhere. i turned on him, blocking his attacks and hitting him back. We hit so hard that we hardly noticed the feathers flying everywhere in the house. We just grabbed more pillows and continued to bash each other. We hardly noticed an intake of breath that came from the door.
"Edward? Bella?" we turned to see the whole family, Esme in the lead looking beweildered at us. I looked at Edward; his hair was even more messed up and he had random feathers sticking out of his hair. He seemed to see the same thing in my hair and we burst out laughing at the site of ourselves. Then we looked around. I saw that practically the whole living room was coverd in white feathers, the sofa and chairs barly seeable. We were in for the lecture of our lives. To no ones suprise, Emmett began to laughing hysterically, and soon everyone was laughing, even Rosalie and Esme.
"Hey let's take a picture of this!" exclaimed Alice. She whipped out a camera taking aim. I snuggled close to Edward and we smiled at the camera. The flash went off-a memory saved, forever.
"You better have a good excuse for this Edward." said Esme after she had finished laughing. Edward grinned down at me.
*"Bella was being unintentionally funny" he said, his eyes still on me.
"Well you better clean it up! Look at this mess..i swear....."
But i wasn't listening to Esme's scolding anymore, i was gaising into Edward's deep golden eyes. It was as though we were in our own world, everything else faded away, it was just me and Edward.
I smiled at him. Edward bent down, his eyes still locked on mine as our lips met. My lips moved against his, and in this moment, all i could think about was preserving this memory, the kiss, the pillow fight, the picture. How many wonderful memories i would have with Edward, and it was all worth it. Worth giving up everything, my family, humanity, Jacob. Everything was worth it with Edward Anthony Masen Cullen
