Nearing sunrise, the storm began to calm down and Seth made sure Eliana was warm before he had left her side to go patrol before he gets caught off guard by enemies of the night. The heavy rain of snow was gone, leaving piles of snow to curl the tents surroundings. Eliana had woken up when she felt alone, realized that Rosalie nor Seth wasn't here so she got up.
A scarf was gently wrapped around her neck, lessening her shivering cold despite being indoors. Then she had to awkwardly stand around, halfway to getting out for a breath of fresh air when Jacob accidentally heard something he wasn't suppose to know. He stormed off, Bella tried to follow him but Edward holds her wrist to prevent her.
"Don't!" Bella warns before brushing away her fiancé's grip, following Jacob with full extent of making things right. He wasn't suppose to know. Not now, at least.
Then again, Eliana wondered how her little sister thinks that the people around her doesn't deserve the truth. She felt bad for Jacob because he got a taste of what she felt. Then for Edward because he was brushed aside like someone who was just there to jump start Bella's life. The motto was correct. Karma's a bitch.
She steps out into the heavy pile of snow, seeing Edward meet her gaze. "It really is." He says, holding back the urge to listen in on Bella and Jacob's conversation near them.
"I don't know what's wrong with my sister. Probably a default setting to keep things from the people she loves." Eliana shrugs, as if it was no big deal. "You were right. Jacob deserves to know but not in this way. You should've convinced Bella to tell him the truth, he deserves that at least."
"She was never planning on telling him any time soon." Edward says timidly. "I'm afraid she'd choose him before Alice begins to plan the wedding."
"You're letting Alice plan your wedding?" She questioned in surprise and Edward chuckles, nodding. "Oh, boy."
"She's persistent. Bella and I just want to get married, big fiasco or not." It felt good talking to Eliana again without her thoughts that wants to kill him. Some were still there but it was drowned by another thoughts. "Would you come? I want you to be there."
"Of course I will, Ed." She smiles softly. "Though Bella hated marriage before because of our parents, I'm glad you changed her mind." Eliana had listened to every complain Bella has over Renée and Charlie's marriage and how they seperated. It was awful as they had to live with their mother with no utter choice at all. The last one was Eliana's complain and Bella went along with it, part of her knowing Ellie was right.
