End of Chapter 55
I heard Emmett move next to me, his thoughts torn because he knew that he should be helping Rosalie...but he wanted to fight Gabriel SO bad that he was torn between the two.
"Go help your wife." I said as I put a hand on his shoulder. "She will need your help more then I will." He looked from Gabriel to Rosalie and back before he realized that she did need his help more then I did at the point.
"Will you call if you need help?" He asked.
I nodded quickly as I started making my way to the other side of the clearing, ignoring the growling and snapping behind me as I glared at Gabriel...a smile spreading across my face as I thought about how I was doing this for Bella.
Chapter 56
I walked across the clearing, my eyes focused only on Gabriel who was smirking as he watched me walk towards him. I wanted nothing more in that moment then to wipe the smirk off his smug face.
"Where did your precious Bella go?" He asked, mocking me.
"She is safe now." I said as I took a step closer.
"She was safe with me."
I couldn't respond to that, there were so many things I wanted to say but at that moment..his talking about Bella pushed me over the edge. I yelled loudly as I charged at him, knocking him to the ground.
"Edward stop." He said as he tried to look in my eyes.
I knew that he was somehow controlling the women and now I knew that eye contact had something to do with this. I knew that if I wanted a chance to fight that I would have to avoid eye contact at all cost.
I knew he was distracted, trying to use his powers on me so I used this time to attack him. My teeth sank into his shoulder, a scream escaping his lips as rolled to his side while using his stregnth to throw me off of him. I landed on my feet, lowerd into a fighting stance as he stood up and tried to glare into my eyes.
"STOP" He yelled as he tried use his influence over me again.
I felt myself raising up, standing more upright..but fought against myself. I knew this wasn't my control...and somehow I managed to regain control of myself, a growl growing deep in my chest.
"It won't work Gabriel, fight like a man." I challenged.
He stood up, looking around for someone that he could control...someone I wouldn't fight. I saw his mouth start to open and knew that he was going to try controlling one of my family members and that was something I would NOT allow to happen. I rushed at him, my hands grabbing is shoulders and throwing him as hard as I could into a tree, the tree shaking as he slid down it landing on his feet at the base of the tree.
He knelt there next to the tree, his eyes glowing red as he glared at me. The look on his face was so familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on where I would have known him from. I wanted to stop and figure this out, but Bella was the number one priority right now and I would not let him hurt her again.
He growled loudly as he launched himself at me, his thoughts giving him away which allowed me to move a little to my left so that he missed me. He landed about ten feet away from me, his eyes wide is fury.
"Let's fight like men, no cheating Edward." Gabriel said as he started to stand.
"I will not cheat if you stop trying to control me or my family." I said, still lowered in a fighting stance.
"Well, well, well...you figured me out." He said as he laughed.
"She said you were smart, that you had extra abilities...but I didn't believe her. I guess I shouldn't underestimate any of you then." He said as he stood up, taking a step back.
"Who? Who is behind this?" I yelled.
"No, now is not the time. You will find out when the time is right. For now, I think we should go. Another time, I look forward to it." He said as he looked over to the three women who were still fighting with my family.
"Girls, it's time to go. You will get this Emmett another day." He said as he grinned at Rosalie who growled loudly as Emmett wrapped his arms around her.
All four of them started walking back to the woods, my family members all yelling at me to stop them...but for some reason I knew that we would meet again. I ran back to my family, shaking my head as I ran so that they didn't follow.
"This isn't over, we will have another chance." I said as I looked at the faces of my family. "Are you all right?"
"Yeah." Alice said as she smiled, not a hair out of place. She was rubbing Jasper's back for him, and when she touched a spot he would wince everytime.
"Jazz?"
"I'm fine, that one just got a lucky strike." He said as he grinned.
I turned to ask Emmett and Rosalie how they were doing...but they were a little preoccupied at the moment and none of us wanted to interrupt them.
"Let's go." I said to Alice and Jasper who both quickly nodded.
I pulled my phone out and called Esme's phone, smiling as she answered on the second ring.
"Edward?" She asked.
"Where is she? How is she?" I asked, panic returning throughout my entire body.
"Denver, she's still asleep. She calls your name in her sleep. Please get here as soon as you can." She asked, her voice very quiet...I guessed that Bella was sleeping.
"We'll be there in a few hours." I said as I closed the phone and the three of us began running to Denver, to Bella.
