Bella Is A Badass! Take That Edward!

Black Kiss Of An Angelic Devil

<P class=MsoNormal>Edward</P>

<P class=MsoNormal>I watched in jealousy as she cuddled and kissed them. I wanted her to be in my arms, kissing me and only me. I watched as she and Caius locked lips. They were kissing with such a passion that it should have been R18 just looking at it. Then Aro asked if she was going to join their beds and I lost it.<BR>How dare he! HOW FUCKING DARE HE ASK MY BELLA TO SLEEP WITH HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was infuriated. The fucking bastard was going to die. But before I could do or say anything something happened. <BR>Bella fell to her knees and started coughing up blood. It was like she was throwing up. But that couldn't be right. Vampires didn't get sick. We never got injured or anything like that. And Victoria never touched her. So why was she getting so sick. I watched as Marcus grabbed her up into his arms and Aro and Caius started calling for the guards. I was frozen. I couldn't move, couldn't think, and couldn't help.<BR>Luckily Carlisle's training instantly kicked in. He rushed over to Aro who was still frantically calling for the guards.<BR>"What's going on Aro?!" He exclaimed, looking at the blood still flowing from Bella, even as she lay perfectly still, almost as if she was out cold. I was stunned. This wasn't happening.<BR>Aro glanced briefly at Carlisle before turning and starting for the door.<BR>"Come with and I'll tell you." He called over his shoulder as he headed out of the room. </P>

<P class=MsoNormal>Bella was lain on Aro's deep velvet red bedding, her prone body stretched out like a cats. Her clothes were changed to a rather thin black sheer slip with a lace neckline. Her dark hair tumbled over her shoulder in soft curls. Her pale face looked even more paler than normal and her eyes were sunk into her face. I was sitting next to her bed on the cushioned seat applied there. I couldn't stop staring at her. She was so beautiful. How could I have been stupid enough to just leave her? I'm so full of merda. <BR>I lifted my head when the door opened. Carlisle and Aro walked in, Marcus and Caius following them. I knew my face was covered in anguish but I didn't bother to hide it. Aro walked over to Bella and placed a soft kiss on her cheek. She sighed softly and curled toward him. "Aro" escaped her lips. I smiled. She still talked in her sleep. I was a little sad that she didn't say my name, but I suppose I shouldn't be expecting that from her. Marcus went to the bed side table and picked up a sharp pointed knife that I knew was a scalp. That couldn't possibly cut through a vampire's skin, but when he lifted a little higher I saw the flash of colour on the edges. I realised with a start that it was venom. Vampire venom. Of course! How else?! I was a little too caught up in my thoughts to notice that Marcus was making a downward line to Bella's collarbone. Carlisle saw it though and freaked out. He knocked the scalp from Marcus's hand and growled at him.<BR>"What do you think you're doing?" He asked, outraged. He was acting like a overprotective father. I wasn't any better. I was clutching the arms of the chair so tight that I was surprised that they didn't snap under the pressure. He was about to hurt my mate! Marcus shot Carlisle an aggravated look.<BR>"We have to cut open her main artery. Otherwise the blood will leak into the flesh and create red blotches." Marcus said and picked the scalp back up. He made a tiny line at the neck and I watched as blood leaked from the cut. Strange enough, the blood still smelled like it did when she was human. But I wasn't thirsty. I couldn't even think of hurting her anymore.<BR>I watched as Aro leaned his head down and started drinking up the blood. I wanted to jump out of my chair and pound in his papery face, but I was held down by Caius who looked like he was just about ready to kill me.<BR>"Watch" He commanded. I obeyed and saw that Aro didn't drink the blood, but scooped it up in his mouth. I only realised this when he grabbed a little bottle that looked like it was a type of snake venom abstractor, and stuck two holes in it. He slowly let the blood pour into the base and scooped up more to fill it another one. He did this until there was no more than a drop left, which he did drink for himself. Caius nodded at him and pulled a pair of stitching needles out of his pocket. He slowly probed the skin around the cut and smoothed the edges together. When they were close enough, he twirled one of the needles in Bella's mouth and smeared it over the edges of the cut. Like magic the two cut flaps merged together. Caius sat back with a satisfied grunt. At this point Marcus came into the room, trailing behind him was the rest of my family.<BR>"I presume you would like to know what is wrong with Bella." He asked and waved a hand at her still form. Carlisle and I nodded our heads at the same time.<BR>"Very well." Marcus said, nodding his head and glancing at his brothers," Follow me."</P>
