SEEING BELLA IS A shock to edward. the human , whose blood allures him like no other , should be back in washington state , not here in the white house. yet there she is , standing alone with a cup grasped in her hand. thereâs also something strange about her , something so unlike how he remembers her. is she âŠÂ ? no , she canât be like them. heâs clearly losing his mind , a product of the panic beginning to ensue in himself after hearing that voice in his head. a projected caution of the dangers about to come.
bella turns to him then , eyes meeting with his golden ones. the vampire is immensely glad that heâs already withholding his breath. heâs unsure about his ability to face the temptation again , if sheâs indeed still human as he hopes. unfortunately , the look means that heâs so obviously been spotted & now edward feels the need to warn her before continuing his search to find his family. even though he canât explain how heâs come into this information with anyone else but the other coven members , heâs hoping that his former classmate would take the advisory in consideration without question.
edward then walks closer to the other , making certain to refrain from taking in a breath. brows furrowed , an edge of concern brushed across his pale features. just before he stops in front of the brunette , renesmeeâs words echo in his mind. he ignores it in favor of speaking , however. â you shouldnât be here. â his voice is firm , loud enough for hopefully only bella to hear. â  you canât be here. â
bellaâs eyes looked at him. her still ruby red eyes, as they hadnât had time to adjust just yet. she had woken up alone, worried, and concerned about what had happened. to see a familiar face shocked her. bella had believed she had died. that she had given up her life for her daughter. but judging by seeing h i m , here she knew otherwise.Â
as he spoke to her forrowed her brows. confusion taking her over. as she believed when she was ârebornedâ she and edward were not only married but parents. confusion was a understatement to her. she wasnât sure what to say, what to do. as either vampires could develope amnesia or something more sinister was going on here....
âwhat?â was the only thing that could escape her lips. how could h e say she didnât belong here. where was even here? washington? her crimson eyes focused on his topaz hues. âedward, how- how can you say that?â she mustered up. âwe- weâre married, why wouldnât i belong with you?â she still confused about this.Â
