End of Chapter 22
***Edward's POV***
I crossed my arms and thought of the family that Aro had just mentioned. About the values that Calirsle and Esme had worked to install into each of us. They always taught us that we were all individuals, and yet at the same time we were all a family. We all had to be there for each other, had to rely one our siblings to help us through the times where we couldn't help ourselves.
"Ahhh my dear." Aro ব্যক্ত as he stood up with a flourish. "I was wondering what was keeping you?"
"I saw a problem." A tiny voice replied.
"What could be so horrible that আপনি would be delayed?" Aro asked as he took a step towards the voice.
"The Cullens are coming for him." The voice called, and in that moment I swear আপনি could hear a pin drop...everyone's eyes looking at me.
Chapter 24
***Edward's POV***
It was suddenly very, very still in the room the only sound was that of a clock that somewhere high above us all. It was completely quiet until the clock stopped chiming and Aro broke out in laughter.
"Of course they are!" He ব্যক্ত as he smiled at me. "They've found আপনি Edward, how....exciting!"
"That's not all I've seen Aro." The tiny girl ব্যক্ত as she stepped around Demetri and stepped out into the light that was sifting through the tiny windows.
"Aro." Demetri ব্যক্ত as he moved to step between this tiny girl and I.
"Edward, আপনি aren't going to hurt her are you?" He ব্যক্ত as he smiled at me, his thoughts wondering how long I would last if I tried.
"No."
"See there, he won't hurt her Demetri. He's প্রদত্ত his word that our Tallulah will not be harmed..plus do আপনি think he wants to die?" He asked as he looked from me to Demetri.
Demetri did not relax, his entire body tensed his mind racing. His thoughts changed often ranging from the violence he thought of when he looked at me to the tiny girl he would protect with his own life if need be. Demetri thought of this Tallulah, of her white hair that had streaks of yellow and black throughout it. The way that she looked so meek and helpless until she had a vision..then she was ferocious as a lion. Demetri caught me staring at him, his body tensing as he prepared himself for a battle.
"I'm not going to hurt her." I said, annunciating each word so he would understand.
"He won't hurt me." The girl said, her voice sweet and innocent. "Will আপনি Edward."
"Of course he won't he's our guest." Aro ব্যক্ত as he grinned. "What did আপনি see my dear?"
"Aro." Demetri warned. "He could use this against us."
"Tallulah," Aro said, sounding bored with the entire thing. "Is Edward going to turn on us?"
She closed her eyes and stared off into deep space, the same way that Alice did when she looked for something to happen. While she was searching, Demetri moved অগ্রবর্তী to block her from any prying eyes.
"Interesting." I said, smirking at Demetri who's eyes narrowed.
"They will be here tomorrow. Four of them...wait." She ব্যক্ত as her eyes snapped open. "No. Seven of them...wait. Six of them and another." I didn't realize that I had gasped until Aro's head snapped to the side so he could look at me as he smiled.
"Hmmm your family is coming for আপনি Edward." He ব্যক্ত as he smacked me on the back. "Isn't that exciting..and they're bringing another with them. Tallulah dear, what does this other person look like?"
"She has dark hair and.." She said, pausing for a gasp herfore she continued. "She's...she's HUMAN!"
"Are আপনি sure?" I asked, my voice a growl.
"Oh yes, i'm quite positive. I can almost taste her from my vision, she's quite amazing."
"Bella." I whispered, wishing I could run and call her, beg and plead for her to stay where she was, not to come looking for me.
