End of Chapter 63
Carlisle came in the room a minute later, opening the closet and taking out Bella's jacket. He held it open for her, waiting for her to go and let him help her into it.
"You're free." He said as he shook the jacket softly.
Bella squeeked in happiness as she stood up and ran, putting her arms into the jacket that Carlisle was holding for her. She pulled her long, dark hair out of the back of the jacket and turned to look at me.
"Let's go. We have to find my dad."
I stood up and walked to her side, smiling at Carlisle who was wondering how much Bella knew of what was going on. I took Bella's hand in mine, leading her down the hallway. We had just reached the back door when Rosalie burst through the door.
"They're here." She said as she glared at me.
Chapter 64
My first thought was how Alice had missed this happening, and at the same second I thought that my phone rang.
"Alice." I said as I flipped it open.
"Edward, don't go out. They are ambushing the hospital!" She sounded panicked.
"Yeah, we know. Rosalie just came in and told us that they are outside." I said, not hiding my anger.
"It's worse then that." She said quickly, ignoring my tone. "They're inside. Get Bella back to her room."
"They're WHAT!!" I screamed, my phone protesting to the amount of pressure that I was using to hold it.
"They have people inside, they're going to try and take her. You have to get her back into the room. Emmett, Jasper and I are on our way." She said as she ended the call.
I grabbed Bella in my arms and turned, running back down the hall towards the room that she had been using. Half way down the hall I stopped seeing a middle age man who was dressed in a suit who was glaring at Carlisle, Rosalie and I. There was no mistaking what this man was, and his thoughts let me know that he planned to take Bella from me...one way or another. I tried to stifle the growl that was building, I couldn't fight him...not with Bella in my arms.
"Edward?" Bella asked. "We promised not to keep things, what's going on? What did Alice see?" She whispered softly into my ears.
"I'll tell you in one second." I said as I glared at the man who was now leaning against the nurses station.
We rushed into Bella's room, Rosalie standing next to the door that was now closed and had a dresser against it.
"Edward." Bella said as she reached out and grabbed my hand in hers.
"Bella, like Rosalie said..they're here. Alice saw that they have the building surrounded, and apparently they have some 'people' inside." I said as I led her to the bed and set her down gently.
"Emmett?" Rosalie said as she looked at me thinking that it would be nice if the rest of the family were here.
"Emmett, Jasper, Alice and Esme are on their way. I'm sure Emmett is excited to fight his way in." I said, smiling as Rosalie scowled at the idea of him fighting.
"Think about it Rose, it's you inside a building that is surrounded by our kind." I said, reasoning with her.
"Oh." She said thinking about how she would feel if the rolls were reversed. I was instantly glad that she was in here, Rosalie being kept from Emmett would not be a good thing...and she was imagining fighting to get to him.
"No one wants that." I said as I grinned at her.
She smiled at me, her lips pulling back to show all of her teeth, which we only tended to do when we felt threatened or wanted to show our dominance.
"Edward, they are coming for me again?" Bella asked as she closed her eyes.
"They are going to try, but Bella." I said as I reached over and took her cheeks in my hands and looked in her eyes. "They will NOTtake you from us without a fight."
"I don't want you all fighting for me." She said softly.
"Too bad." Rosalie said as she looked over, shock on mine, Carlisle's and Bella's faces. "Oh don't look so surprised."
"Well, it is kind of surprising." I said as I looked at her.
"Whatever." Rosalie said as she went back to worrying about Emmett.
I looked over at Carlisle who was wondering if Rosalie had had a change of heart, or if she was just saying that to make Bella feel better. I shrugged, I knew from Rosalie's thoughts that she meant it but as for what would cause such a change in her attitude. I was so into listening to Rosalie that I didn't feel my phone ring at first. I flipped it open without looking, thinking that it was Alice again with an update..boy was I surprised.
"What?" I asked.
"Interesting way to answer the phone." A male voice said on the other end of the phone.
"Who is this?" I growled.
"Well Edward, you've forgotten my voice already?"
"Gabriel." I said, spitting his name out. Bella's eyes widened and she started to shake slightly.
"I knew you wouldn't forget me." He said, sounding proud.
"What do you want?"
"Well you have Bella, my boss is insistent that we get her back." He said calmly.
"You can tell your boss to go to hell." I said quickly, my anger rising to a whole new level.
"I don't think they would like that response. But, that's not my problem. Now, Edward...we can make this easy or not, that is up to you."
"You will not get her Gabriel" I growled.
"Temper, Temper! Edward, you were never his angry before." He laughed.
"I hear your family is about to try and enter, let's see how this goes." He laughed before he ended the call.
I hadn't realized that I was clutching my phone until pieces of it began to fall onto the floor. I slowly opened my fingers, the rest of it falling onto the floor in a big chunk. I looked at Rosalie, who was wondering what was going on and why Emmett hadn't gotten here yet.
"They might run into trouble." I said through my teeth.
"What does that mean?" Carlisle asked as he moved closer to me.
"They know that they are going to try and get in, they are going to try and stop them." I said softly as I watched Rosalie lean against the wall, horror written all over her face.
