"How was she able to do that?" Bella let out in shock, rushing over to Edward. Helping her boyfriend up as she looked over him worried. She was aware how strong vampires were but her sister seemed to take Edward down without any problem.
Althea was still seething, looking between the two. All she wanted to do was grab onto Bella's hair and toss her across the yard too but clearly Edward wouldn't allow that to happen. He didn't want to see the two girls fight which was why he tried to diffuse the situation. But he ultimately learned a bigger lesson in that moment. He had known that Althea was not someone to be messed with. And now he has become more aware that he really shouldn't get in her way when she was angry. Somehow she was able to toss him around like he was all but a pebble you throw in a pond.
"You have no right to tell me to calm down," Althea pointed at Edward.
Goodness she wanted to punch him.
"I had to deal with your mess. Did you not remember what I told you the day that you left? I meant it Edward. I never wanted to see you again because I knew what would happen. How Bella would be. And now I see she was quick to run back to you. Bella, you consider the thing between the two of you love. But a person who loves you wouldn't leave you like that. I don't even know why you idolize the idea of being a vampire so much?!" Althea's voice cracked slightly.
Did Althea mean nothing to her?
Did any of them mean something?
"Look around you, Bella. The Cullens didn't have a choice. Do you think any of them originally wanted this life for themselves? No. They were put into a position where it was between dying or becoming what they are. You have been given such a gift to just be alive and experience things that they can't because that was ripped away from them. You're being so selfish right now!"
All of the vampires felt those words hit them harshly. It was the truth. They weren't given the choice. And now there were so many things they would never get to have because of what they had to become in order to be there now. The families of their own they could've had. Not having to constantly move around all the time. They were stuck outliving so many people they had met in their lifetime because they were vampires. Each one of them wished they could go back in time to get a do-over but they knew it was impossible.
None of them had ever thought to voice out loud their thoughts of being stuck in their places. But here Althea was being a voice for them. Calling out her sister who seemed to think being a vampire was the best thing in the world. The girl who wasn't thinking about anything else but staying alive forever. Bella was ignoring Edward's pleas of her staying human. Living a long human life with him. And Carlisle was rather against her being turned but all he wanted was his son to be alive and he knew the two Swan girl's were the only thing keeping him around. Then there was Rosalie who briefly explained to Bella that she was against her turning because she wished she had someone advocating for her once upon a time. The rest of the Cullens had gone along with the older Swan girl wanting to be turned because they just wanted Edward to be happy. Though deep down they knew Bella being turned wasn't going to be that factor that made him happy, it was the next best option at the moment. But each one of them still had that little voice in the back of their heads that yearned for their past human lives.
