Wild Souls || Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn [2]

F O U R

Like everything else, time was not on their side.

As tensions grew between the Cullen's and wolves Bella also grew significantly worse.

Alessia kept to herself, mainly focusing on running with Seth, checking in on her diminishing friend every so often.

She kept busy, resisting the urge to let her mind wander off into a danger zone. They were losing Bella, there was no doubt about it and unfortunately that brought up bad memories for all of them.

Alessia stood at the entrance to the forest, basking in the cold air and letting it release her muscles when Edward showed up.

"Needed a break?" She questioned, not moving as he stepped next to her.

"Something like that." His dark voice answered. "I also wanted to ask you, how do you feel about this?"

"Honestly? I don't want to lose Bella, I don't want you to lose Bella."

"I don't want you to lose her either, you two are good together. I've never seen you be a friend like that with anyone, even Alice and Rosalie." He responded.

She shrugged her shoulders, remembering when meeting the human girl. Like any sister the instinct to protect her brother was first but slowly she found herself softening to the young human until she willingly would give up her life.

"I know, but your wife has always been stubborn and god forbid anyone try and stop her from getting what she wants. She did it with you and she'll do it with this baby."

Edward turned to his sister, "Alessia... I know it's selfish of me to ask you and I sound like a monster but I can't watch her die. Please... you're the only one that can change her mind, you have to force her to it."

Alessia felt so stunned at her brothers words that she took a momentary step back, "you want me to manipulate her? By using my powers."

"Well yes but..."

"No! Edward do you realize how incredibly monstrous you sound? You want me to forcibly take a decision from the women you claim to love? Why? So you can keep her all to yourself? Edward she's not a possession she's a women, just like me. I understand, I don't want her to die either but she's made her decision and we will be okay with it! Bella's stronger then you give her credit for!" Each words was louder, and she was practically toe to toe with her brother until the end of her rant where she turned and walked back towards the house.

"Where are you going!" Edward yelled out to her.

Everyone had heard their conversation but no one chose to stop the strawberry blonde and ask as she was relentless. She walked right into the living room where Bella was sitting on the sofa with Rosalie looming over her. They all stared as she walked into the room, straight towards couch, lifting Bella's legs and plopping down onto it.
