As She's Walking Away

Chapter 7

Bella POV

I walked slowly up the steps and through the front door, my mother Esme waiting for me with a sad smile.

I hope she's ok, the poor dear, why can't Alice realise that she belongs with my poor daughter... Esme thought

Yeah I can read minds, and yes Esme and Carlisle both know that my mate is Alice.

I smiled softly and gave her a hug, "hello mom," I whispered in her ear.

She hugged me tightly, "wanna go hunting together?" She asked.

"Yes," I said smiling greatfully.

We ran together out the door into the woods and after a few minutes we stopped.

"Are you ok dear?" She whispered hugging me.

I shook my head then dissolved into dry sobs.

She rocked me and listened as I described my plan, and what happened today.

"It sounds like a good plan honey," she whispered, "she'll realize she needs you."

I nodded not convinced, "but what if she isn't my mate mom, what if I was mistaking? What if my gift was wrong?"

She pondered this for a moment then looked in my eyes, "what do you feel when yours and Alice's skin touch?"

"I feel sparks, like fireworks," I responded immediately.

"Then you are mates," she responded smiling.

"Lets hunt," I said smiling and we dashed into the night to stalk our prey.

Rosalie's POV

I sat on the couch with Emmett, him playing a game on the TV, me watching as he killed people.

Alice and Jasper were going at it, I could hear them screaming at each other, they fight at least once a week.

Carlisle wasn't home yet, and Esme and Bella would be back any minute.

Poor Bella she had enough to deal with in her human life, first losing me, then our mother, then her father raped her for years before ditching her bleeding in the the forest, on the brink of death. She was found by Carlisle and I. Carlisle changed her and I held her hand through out the transformation, she did not make a sound as the venom changed her not only that but a few days after she woke she found her power. She wished to see the future and she saw Alice.

Right then Esme and Bella walked into the house, Esme looked sad and concerned. Bella, however seemed beaten down emotionally. She could obviously hear the screaming match upstairs and that made her if possible look sad and angry at the same time.

She sighed angrily and plopped onto the couch next to me, instead of going to break them apart like normal.

What's up sis, you usually go and stop them from fighting, I thought to Bella using our telepathic connection.

I'm just so tired Rosy, I've done this for 70 years, never did I give in and break even though all I want to do is sit and cry for a day, I can't even morn it because Alice would question it, I love her, sissy but my mind is at its breaking point. I can't take it anymore. She thought back.

I felt my anger rise at Alice's stupidity, Bella is the best girl there is.

No I'm not Rosy, I'm so fucked up that our mother didn't love me enough to stay with me after you disappeared not even enough love to mention me in the will or leave a note for the state saying my dad was abusive, I am so fucked up that my father hated the absolute sight of me, no Rosa I'm not perfect I'm far from it, her eyes glassed over as venom came to her eyes, I don't blame Alice for not accepting not only the bond, but me...

She got up and smiled sadly at me and left to go to her room, and I sat there shocked staring at the place where she disappeared from my sight
