Stand your guard

Bella Point of View

I glanced around the room. Everyone was still, cautious and thinking of a plane. No one really visited the family, only some friends from Alaska, which I did NOT like.

I could see Edward’s face scrunched up, his eyes narrow, but his face was still calm and stone like it is always. I could tell all of them were talking in their minds. Sometimes I felt left out of this, but it was nice knowing that Edward couldn’t read my mind. I put my plate on the table and walked to Edward and grabbed his arm, leading him to the couch and patting the seat next to me. He smiled at me, dazzling me. He sat beside me, and I clutched him.

“What are we going to do?” barely a whisper, but I knew everyone could hear.

“ When will they arrive?” Carlisle stood staring at the window.

Alice closed her eyes slowly, and as a minute flew by her eyes opened.

“Less than an hour. Oh! And two girls and 2 boys”

“What about Bella?” Everyone stared at me. What about me? Will anything happen? I guess even though no one can look through my mind. Jasper calmed my nerves down. I muttered a “thanks” and smiled at him. Even though It annoyed me how he can play with my emotions, how could I not me annoyed when he just made me calm down?

“Everyone’s staying, they can’t get through us” Emmett had full confidence in his voice. Of course knowing Emmett, nothing could get through him. He was a Big bear for crying out loud!

“Emmett’s right, if we leave, we’ll just get separated” Rosalie stood next to Emmett and put her arms around his shoulders.

“Alright, I guess we just made a plane, don’t do anything, still though we all have to be cautious, we don’t know who these people are ”

“Bella, you need to go to sleep” Edward’s velvety voice broke through all the tensions.

I wiggled my body as a sign saying no. Edward picked me up gently and carried me up to my room. I felt soft cushions against my body.

“Please don’t leave, I’m scared” As I clung on to his arm. I didn’t like being left in the dark alone. He patted my head and lay beside me.
