Meanwhile as that very same conversation was happening inside the Quileute reservation, another conversation was occuring in the complete opposite direction of the town, inside a location that was just as deep inside the forests as the reservation itself.
But in comparison to the reservations naturally built houses, this place was a mansion.
It was the Cullen Coven household mansion.
Inside of which, the entire Cullen Coven had gathered together, all the members either already sat on the couches in the living room or standing around.
Edward Cullen had just returned from the hospital where he and Bella Swan had been sent, during the entire drive back home, Rosalie Hale had been staring daggers at him and she finally couldn't hold back once they had sat down in the living room.
"Do you even understand what you've done? Do you have even an smudge of thought in that brain of yours?" She asked, her voice carrying rage that before might have been unjustified, before it might have just been the fear speaking, the fear for the humans, the horror at what she herself was, but this time it was different.
Edward din't reply, not vocally atleast as he simply nodded his head, his gaze lowered to the ground, thoughts running through his mind however he voice none of them as he remained unnaturally still.
"Why are you not talking? You've put all of us in danger and for what? Because you decided to somehow become obsessed with a human? A human girl? Is she worth our heads Edward? IS SHE?" Rosalie spoke once more, her tone rising until she was practically almost screaming as she walked closer to him, her hands that had been limp at her sides slowly curling and uncurling into what resembled clawing motions.
It was at that moment that Esme Cullen, the so called step mother of the entier family walked and stood inbetween the two of them.
"Calm down Rosie… I'm sure, Edward… he did the right thing, he saved a life." Esme said softly, her expression gentle as she tried to calm down the people that she genuinely considered as her own children.
"Calm down? Why doesn't he explain exactly what he did. He ran, infront of the entire student body, to save a human girl." Rosalie replied, the words practically being spat out in distaste.
Around the room, the rest of the Cullens didn't interviene.
Jasper Hale wasn't the type who would intervene in matters like this, Emmet Cullen felt like backing up Rosalie and Carlisle was simply listening for the moment, similarly deep in thought just like Edward seemed to be.
And lastly, Alice, Alice hadn't said a thing since the entire incident had occured, not to any of them atleast, her face was blank.
'I can't really… tell him that he shouldn't have done it considering the fact that I… I would have done the same thing if Bella had been replaced by Alan.' Alice thought to herself, as he turned her gaze away from her brother.
"I… I am not going to apologise for saving someones life." Edward finally spoke as he lifted his head, his pupils had slowly darkened, turning from the colour that resembled amber or gold, into something that resembled more of a dark brownish mud and it was quickly darkening further and further.
"You're not going to apologise for saving a life? Do tell me Edward, are you going to apologise when the Volturi find out and It's mine, or Esme's or everyone elses head in this family? Tell me." Rosalie replied, as she took another step, her arms were practically vibrating by this point, itching to claw their way into his body. His words had done nothing more than make the situation worse than it had been.
"I… I realise that, but even then… I would do it again. And… no one else noticed, the situation wasn't wasn't that bad." Edward replied as he shook his head and slowly stood up from his seated position on the living room couch.
"That's funny. Didn't Bella Swan ask to talk to you alone? We heard." Emmet speaks up for the first time as he released a deep low chuckle whilst shaking his head in amusement at Edwards words.
"She's… she doesn't know anything yet, even if she does, who would believe her, they'd just tell her that she was in shock and her mind hallucinated it. Carlisle could even further help cover this up by telling her that it was indeed something that could occur and it's a known medical phenomenon." Edward replied almost instantly as he turned his gaze towards his much larger brother who was standing by the wall next to the door.
"Right… so you're planning to tell her that what she saw was wrong and that she just hallucinated it and went kinda mentally insane for a moment because of the car crash shock. Right, and didn't you also spy on her whilst she slept? Really… selling the creepy vampire vibes Edward." Alice interjected, her voice clearly showing her amusement as Alan's words about Edward being weird returned to her mind for a moment.
Edward turned towards her and if a glare could kill, Alice would have been already six feet deep, over a dozen times over.
Alice simply raised her hands in surrender as she chuckled and took a step back.
