Edward didn't know why both girls had seemed to freeze. He'd said move - why the hell weren't they doing it? He didn't need to see any more of her persona to have the feeling she was completely insane. Or not human.

He jerked backwards, ignoring Rika's tug, tucking the pipe under his armpit and grabbing a fistful of each girl's shirt, working to drag both of them out of the chapel as fast as he could move. Disgustingly slower than he could have - and unable to the moment he needed it. Perfect.

After seeing the look the woman gave Bella, he was given extra incentive. Accelerated by panic, he scrambled backwards, both girls in tow, for the entrance. Luckily, both of them were scrawny.
