Edward the Wolf (twilight fanfiction)

Chapter 20

Watching over her

"What do you want Carlisle?" I asked, irritated that he was holding me up. I needed to make sure that Bella was safe.

"Son, please calm down." He said calmly and that forced me to restrain my annoyance. "I am just worried about you, we all are."

"There's no reason to. I am perfectly fine now." I said stubbornly.

He just shook his head. "Don't shut out us Edward again, please. Just show me the nightmares, let me know how bad are they. I promise I won't force you to do anything and no one will know about them. I won't tell Esme either, I know you don't want her to worry." He really wanted to hear them if he was willing not to tell Esme.

"Okay." I sighed and sat down and started to replay the nightmares in my mind to him. After I was finished I felt like shit again, he looked at me with pity and sorrow. But he didn't say much.

"You know, I really hope that you believe what she said to you." When I looked at him again I only saw confidence in his eyes. Then he turned around and left without another word. When I saw in his mind that he reached the house his voice was no where anymore.

I sat there for a few moments in silence then I slowly stood up and ran back to the meadow so I could track Bella down and make sure she was safely heading home.

When I arrived at the clearing I remembered the nightmares again and the real attack. But this time my stomach didn't twist in fear instead I realised it was over. James couldn't harm her anymore and there was no trace of Victoria. I felt like a wieght was lifted off from my shoulders. I felt relaxed and happy that I managed to protect Bella, not just in my dream but in real life. I wasn't safe for her, but I was determined not to let any harm reach her.

I ran into the woods where I had seen her disappear. I instantly smelled her scent and started to follow it. I slowed down when I heard footsteps ahead of me. They were fast but kind of unstable. Yeah, that was my Bella.

I knew I shouldn't but the couristy got the better of me. I quietly went near her until she was in my sight. She was stepping through tree branches, rocks not paying attention what was happening around her. Probably the only thing in her mind was to escape from the place where she had almost been killed.

I winced when she slipped and hurt her hand. It took everything in me not to change back and run over and help her. She didn't seem to notice the blood on her hand or that she hurt herself that much, probably the adrenaline was still pumping in her body.

As I watched her realisation downed on me. I couldn't stay away from her. I already felt myself giving up and I didn't even start to truly avoid her. How I would feel everyday knowing she was in the same building as me? How I would I hold myself back when she is in my arms reach? What would I do when I see her with someone who is not me? I would go crazy.

She was my other half and I needed her. She was the only one who could save me from this never ending nightmare that some people called life.

She slowly reached her truck with me watching over her or perhaps stalking her. She sometimes turned around and paused for a moment looking where I was hiding, but her eyes quickly passed me.

When she climbed into her "car", she took off to her home. I ran by her side in the woods, I knew I was probably over doing, but after what had happened today, I am not risking it. Without her... I was nothing. My life had no meaning.

When she arrived at her house and got out from her truck she looked at the woods again, searching for something. I wondered if she somehow sensed me. Jasper did tell me that she could feel our conection too. Though I made sure I saw her but she couldn't see me wih her human eyes.

Her father was home and when he asked her about the trip she only said that the forest was beautiful. I wondered why didn't she tell her dad about someone almost killing her or that big wolves were running around Forks. She must have wanted to warn others about the danger in the woods. She couldn't have known that there was nothing to fear now, so why wouldn't she tell someone so they could protect others by destroying the danger?

When they were ready for dinner I left, not wanting to invade more into her privacy. No matter how much I wanted to hear her voice or learn more about her.
