Second story for tonight :)
End of Part 30
I looked over at Rosalie and motioned for her to stay where she was. She shook her head no, she was not going to let me go alone...which I understood. I nodded and began climbing down, trying to be as quiet as I could.
I met Rosalie on the ground and grabbed her hand. It may have only been a few minutes but being away from her was uncomfortable, I felt whole with her there next to me.
"Fine! I will keep my voice down but someone needs to give me answers...and soon." Ben sneered.
"Stay here for now please. I will let you know when to come out, just please trust me." I whispered to her.
It took a second for her to nod slowly. The concern showing in her eyes, I kissed her softly on the cheek and began walking out to talk to another of my brothers.
"You want answers?" I said from deep in the forest.
I stopped where I was and watched Ben's face closely. It went from a reddish color from all of his anger to white. His breathing was suddenly much faster then it was a minute ago, his eyes flashed in the direction that I was standing.
Aaron sat back on the log, getting more comfortable. A huge smile stretched across his face, obviously he was enjoying himself and thought this was all grand fun.
I quickly moved from where he was looking running quietly to the other side of the clearing. I had a better view from here, and decided to have some fun.
"You're sure you want all the answers?" I called.
"E..M..M..E.T.T? Ben stuttered.
I laughed a full belly laugh before beginning my walk out of the woods, looking over to where Rose was standing and smiled.
Part 31
I looked at Ben as I stared walking out, as I made my way through the brush I saw his face flush. I stepped out into the clearing, and as I did I saw him back up a few steps and fall over the tree that Aaron was sitting on.
"Hey, I thought you were leaving." Aaron teased.
"Let's just say we stuck around to make sure you kept your promise." I said as I shot a look at him.
"Yeah, sorry about that. I promised him too, and well I figured if I told him the we could talk to each other about this...instead of people thinking I was crazy when I went looking again." Aaron said as he smiled at me.
"H..How...how..why?" Ben stuttered.
"Spit it out Ben." I teased.
"Emmett is that truly you?" He asked as he took a step closer to me.
"In the flesh." I said as I smiled at the joke. I heard Rosalie laugh quietly, I turned and winked at her.
"How?" Ben asked as he closed the distance between us.
"Stop Ben...trust me." Aaron called out.
"It's you! It's really you!" Ben said as he started to take a step.
"What do I have to do to prove it's me? Who else would I be?" I asked.
"How?" He asked again.
"The short version is I was attacked by the bear, and it would have killed me...if my angel wouldn't have found me." I said as I smiled.
"You're angel? Have you lost it?" Ben said as he shook his head.
"Nope he hasn't. He really has someone who is more angel then human. Where is she?" Aaron said as he searched the trees.
"What did you mean we?" Ben asked, realizing that I did say we...instead of I...darn it.
"Rose?" I called into the woods.
Benjamin looked from me to Aaron and back, trying to figure out what we were talking about. At that very point Rosalie walked out of the woods.
The look on Ben's face was priceless, his jaw hanging open like a fool. His eyes were so wide as she walked out of the woods that I couldn't contain a laugh. Aaron on the other hand, just smiled at Rose, still affected by her beauty.
She walked up next to me, taking my hand in hers. She turned slightly and leaned her body against mine, and where we touched it felt like my body was on fire.
"Hello Benjamin. Hi again Aaron." She said softly.
"Ben, this is Rose. She is who found me, well her and her brother Edward." I said.
At that exact moment, as if it were planned Edward poked his head out of the trees. The smile on his face so perfect that no one would believe this were an accident.
"Don't you know Edward...'speak of the devil, and he shall show.'" Rosalie said as she looked at Edward.
"I thought I heard my name." He said innocently.
"What are you doing here Edward?" Rosalie asked.
"Carlisle was getting worried, you have been gone for a while..and he wanted to be sure nothing happened." He explained.
"What is going on?" Ben asked as he looked at all three of us.
"We need to be going Emmett." Edward said, ignoring my brother.
"One minute please Edward." Rose said as she squeezed my hand.
"Ok so this is Rosalie...and Edward." Benjamin said as he tried to make sense of it all.
"Yes." I said.
"And they're related?" He asked.
"You could say that..so anyway. I was hunting the bear, and it was attacking me. I would have died, I thought I did.." I said as I shivered.
"Rosalie and I were um hunting." Edward said playing along.
"Yes, we came across your brother. The bear was about to finish him off, and we knew we had to help him." Rose said.
"So I took my gun and shot it..until it died." Edward said, obviously picking the story out of Rosalie's memory.
"We didn't know where your brother was from, and our father is a doctor so we just brought him to Carlisle..that's our father." She said.
"Ok so you just happened to find Emmett..and instead of bring him home...you brought him to your father...but why did he tell us Emmett was dead?" Benjamin said as he glared at Edward.
"Big misunderstanding, there was a point of time when your brothers heart stopped. We all thought he had died, and Edward thought it only right to come tell your family." Rose said sadly...they were very good at this.
"Why can't you stay then? You're alive..why leave?" Ben asked.
"I can't we are leaving town," I said as I thought up a reason. "I don't want to leave her Ben, can't you understand..I don't want to be apart from her. I don't know why but I can't handle the idea of being without her." I said as I realized I just confessed my feelings, my head bowing slightly.
Rosalie took my head in her free hand, causing me to look her in the eyes again. "Me too." She said as she kissed me gently.
"Ok, so you are alive. You have found someone that has changed you, and now you are willing to walk away from your family?" Ben asked.
"Yes, if it is what it takes to be with her..I will leave everything. Please understand." I begged.
"We must leave and sooner rather then later." Edward said as he started shifting his weight between his legs.
"I'm so sorry Ben, I would love to give you more answers but they are right. We need to be going. Please don't tell anyone you saw us, that would only cause more problems." I pleaded.
"We will talk it all out." Aaron said as he smiled up at him.
"So we won't see each other?" Ben said quietly.
"No..I'm sorry. We are moving tomorrow, I just wanted to...well I'm sorry." I said.
"Oh..well you are alright...you have love." He said sadly.
"Take care of him please Rose. You don't know the trouble he likes to cause." Aaron said as he stood up and hobbled over to me.
"I'm truly sorry Ben. Please forgive me." I said again.
"Of course, but send us a sign you are alright every now and then." He said as he bend in to hug me.
I felt three things happen at once. The first was that when Ben bent closer I noticed the smell and saw the pulse of his throat. The second was Rosalie grabbed my arm, pulling me back away from my brother. Finally Edward said "NO..EMMETT!" As he saw the thoughts in my mind.
