Oh god. How was I going to get out of this one?

“Bella!” He prompted. Think Bella, think!

“Edward, I…..” He was gone in the blink of an eye. The same as before, my door swung open, bringing the brilliant yellow light from the hall, and yet again, a dark figure. The figure shut off the light, as it was quite blinding. He walked over to my bed, pulled off my covers, got in beside me, covered us both, and kissed my head. I was yet again met by the musky smell. I was safe from my nightmare, but certainly not from Edward.

“Night Bellsy. Sleep tight.” Cain whispered to me in to dark, kissing my head again. I snuggled in deeper under the covers, trying not to see or think about the eyes that watched me from the corner. Cain hummed to me as I tried to nod off again. I sneaked a look up into the far right corner of my lemon and pink room. He was gone. I knew I was going to have to pay for this later. That was for sure. Before long, I felt myself drifting into a deep and much needed sleep.

Just as I had asked, I woke up to the smell of bacon and eggs. Ooh. And sausage! I rolled over to an empty bed, but it still smelt of musk. I lay my head on the pillow beside me, and inhale deeply.

“Morning.” I jumped up from my comfortable position. Edward was sat in the wicker chair that had belonged to my mum when she was a child. He just sat there, rocking away, staring. Watching my every move.

“Hi.” I replied, trying not to start a conversation. I could actually put money on the next sentence he was about to ask me.

“Bella, what was your brother …”

“Stop Edward. Just stop!” I angrily whispered. He just stared back at me, with emotionless eyes and hard features. “It is private. A family matter. It’s over. Finished. I don’t want to talk about it."

“That is total unfair Bella, and you know it.” He quickly got up from the wicker chair and was gazing into my milk chocolate eyes. I cut of the connect instantly, walking over to my draws where I got out a brush and a hair band.
