Chapter 22

Cauis POV

"Isabella i am here its ok" i say i am beside her in a second but she steps back from me fear in her eyes i choke on her name and alice is beside us "Bella we need to leave before the pack gets here" she says to her calmly and gentle Isabella only nods

i follow them through the trees and to a house not a large house like my home but reasonably big compared to other houses ive seen in this small town Carlisle is at the door waiting for us

"Bella nice to see you again" he says very compassionate towards her shes not looked in my direction since in the clearing

"I think we should maybe clean ourselves up" alice says pulling Isabella upstairs i let them go i follow carlisle and edward into another room a kitchen i realise while others are in another room

"what happened" carlisle asks

"We followed alice she ran from the wolves we found her in the clearing in a state of shock" Edward replies i stand not sure what to do i stand in a state of shock myself Isabella not far from me just one floor i need to know what happened why she left im so far inside my own head i dont realise carlisle was waiting on a answer

I stare at him nearly dumbfounded

"do you want to go try talk to her now" he says again edwards teeth clench i can hear them grinding i nod and turn for the stares

Bella POV

I am standing in a room i think is esmes alice gave me clean clothes and is combing my hair caius was standing so close i could feel him and i flinched from his touch i knew aro would never forgive me for this betrayel ive seen people killed for less

The door opened slowly and in he walked not as confident as usual but was definitely aggressive in sorts i sit down on a small chair made perfectly for esme and alice turns to me and gives me a small smile before leaving i stare after her

"isabella" his voice almost hoarse i could hear the pain in it i dont even know how long we have been apart from each other now i look at him now he has not fed his eyes black as cole he looks so tired i dont know what to say or how to react

"what happened,why did you leave, why didnt you come to me, why" he says now i hear his true meaning why did i leave him

I didnt have the answer he wanted i dont have the answer myself

"i dont know why i left" i say to him

His reaction was of pain i could understand it i so wanted to be close to him but all i could feel wass the hunger and fear where the wolfs looking for me hunting me they must know where i was of course

He steps closer to me i stay at the chair i close my eyes and i feel him so close to me

"isabella" he sighs

Not saying anything more he sat down at rhe side of esmes chair and waited

Caius POV

We where in the room for more than 24 hours i did not push isabella to speak she did not want to but i needed to know why she left and why she fwlt now she couldn't open up to me the others left for a hunt we where awaiting for a jet to arrive at seattle to return home to volterra
