Silent Guardian (An Emmett Cullen and Bella Swan Story)

Prologue

"What do you mean we're leaving?!" Emmett says looking to his family in shock.

"This is what's best for Bella and for all of us." Edward says.

"I can't believe you! I can't! All of you? You too Rose? Are you leaving too?"

"Well of course we all are."

Emmett's jaw drops.

"No, no we can't just leave her. NO!"

"Emmett son, I know you're upset but it's really best for everyone."

"I can't believe you! You too Carlisle?!"

Emmett paces the house.

"No! No I'm not leaving. I'm a vampire of my word. We all stood here in this house and swore that Bella was like family to us. We swore to protect her and be there for her!"

"Oh come on Emmett she's nothing but trouble and has been nothing but trouble." Rosalie snaps.

"I can't believe you! All of you! Especially you!" He turns to Edward.

"Did you not truly love her or care? Do you all not realize what this will do to her?! She loves you all of you and you Edward! You're an idiot! How can you just leave her!"

Alice looks to Emmett.

"He's made up his mind. He's not going."
Rosalie's jaw drops.

"Well I'm not staying so what does that mean for us!?" They all see the pain that crosses his face as he says in a whisper…

"Guess we're over." He says stumbling back at his own words and the family looks to Emmett in disbelief.

"Did you honestly just say that shit to me?"

"Yes. Yes I did. Guess I'm done with you all." He says as his heart shatters.

Esme covers her mouth and Carlisle pulls her into him kissing her forehead.

"Please Emmett you can't be serious." Edward snaps.

"I'm dead serious. For the first time ever I'm not joking around is that so hard to believe? The irony is this should be you in my position Edward. But no, you're all too ready to leave. Well I'm not. I'm standing by my word. You all run away. I will watch over Bella like a real man should."

Edward hisses out as Emmett looks directly at him furious.

"Whatever I don't have time for this." He says and flees.

Emmett watches as his entire family follows and doesn't look back.

"….bye Rose."

Chapter 1

(Don't own anything but wish I did)

Emmett watches upon Bella from up in a tree and is certain that the area she's at the wolves will miss her. He quietly comes down and places her in a better place knowing they won't miss her here. The urge to let her know she's not alone hits but he stays silent and carefully places her down. Emmett leaps back into the tree making sure he keeps his distance so the wolves won't smell him but close enough to watch Bella as he swore he would.

He spends each day watching her break down and fall apart over his brother. It takes all control not to leap into her bedroom and console her. Emmett's heart breaks as he keeps an eye on her. He watches her feel the way he does alone and unloved. If only she knew someone did care for her and that there was still one of them left but Emmett knew he couldn't do that. Instead he began to leave the smallest of simple gifts upon her bed.

He loved seeing her sniff at the flowers he'd lay on her bed and she'd break into a smile which was a rarity for Bella at least since Edward had left her. Bella believed it to be her father trying to make her feel better but Emmett didn't care who she thought it was from as long as she was happy.

Sure enough time passed and Laurent came. Emmett knew this would happen and he knew if he hadn't stayed behind Bella would have died. Once Laurent knocked Bella down and went to attack. Emmett took his chance and took Laurent out without Bella ever have seeing him. No one was going to hurt Bella he thought as he took the bastard's head. Emmett purposely leads the wolves towards the shaken up Bella knowing she's friends with the one named Jacob Black. He knows they will protect her and console her in a way he cannot.

As time goes by Emmett sees that Jake and Bella have become closer and have started to date. A certain jealousy comes over him but he's not sure why. In fact he's been feeling this way off and on. He knows it's wrong. This is his brother's ex and he's not sure he's even over Rose. The simplest things Bella does though make him understand what his brother saw in her. Today in particular for him, Emmett knew the little red haired bitch had be sniffing around trying to find Bella the only thing keeping her at bay as of late was how much time Bella had been spending with Jake and the other Quileute's but on this particular day. Bella had decided to go for a swim in nothing but her underwear. Emmett felt like a jerky perv but knew he had to keep a watchful eye on her. Still he could not keep the wrongful thoughts at bay.

"He might not deserve her but I can see what he saw." Emmett mutters to himself as he watches her dive in. Every little curve taunted him. He exhales shaking his head.

"Stop it Emmett." He mutters again.

Bella finally gets out and towels herself off. He relaxes seeing how she's finally getting dressed.

"Thank God." He mutters again.

Bella picks up a book and lays out a blanket. She kicks out her legs crossing them and starts to read. He wondered what she was reading. Emmett smiles shaking his head what the hell is wrong with me? Her cell phone rings and he listens as she answers.

"Um yeah sure I guess."

"Ok cool."

Emmett rolls his eyes knowing it's another gathering with the wolfboy. Once again he'd run along the territory but not breaking pact making sure Bella got there and back safely. He'd been doing this off and on for a month or two. Bella rises and puts her book away then begins that way. Since she's on foot he knows this must mean Jacob was meeting her halfway. Only he didn't expect what he'd hear next. He watches as Jacob finally makes his way up towards her.

"Um Jake we need to talk."

Jake laughs.

"I know that speech."

Bella shakes her head.

"I'm sorry it's just. This is all very awkward it doesn't feel right."

"Is it him still?"

Emmett watches her reaction and can see for the first time there isn't pain there but more like anger.

"You know it's not Jake. I just don't feel anything more than… well… Jake I hate to say this but it's like trying to make out with my brother or something."

"Ouch…" He says.

Even Emmett rears his head back and stifles a laugh but see's the painful look on Jacob's face.

"Damn dude." Emmett says to himself shaking his head.

"Well to be honest kissing you Bella was like… Ah hell whom I kidding it was hot as hell."

Emmett shakes his head wondering what it was like. Then fights with himself for even having that stupid thought.

Bella blushes and covers her mouth.

"I'm so sorry Jake."

"It's ok, I'm not gonna lie it sucks but to be honest I could kind of tell you weren't really all into it."

"That noticeable?"

"Well you have canceled the last 3 dates?"

"Jake I really am sorry I…"
"Relax Bells we're cool not going to lie though I really like you but I understand."

Emmett was quite impressed by how well this wolfboy was taking this he was afraid he was going to have to do something but that didn't seem to be the case at all. He smiled on this and kicked back in the tree. Why am I so relieved she's single again? Emmett thought feeling like a horse's ass. It's not like I can do anything or will.

It wasn't too much longer of course that Bella wasn't hanging out with the wolfboys as much and naturally Victoria picked up on this.

Only she was about to make things much more complicated. Thankfully Emmett had kept a watchful eye on this enough that he put a stop to it before she could. Not only was she planning on making her own little newborn army but when Emmett stopped her from that she had got away but then had the nerve to try and attack Bella whilst she was in Seattle with some friends. Emmett duct behind a pillar on a roof stalking Victoria as Victoria stalked Bella and her friends. Just before she grabs at Bella's collar Emmett yanks Victoria into an abandoned warehouse.

"Nice try." He says egging her on with a smile.

"Where's bubba?"

"Doesn't matter you got to deal with me."

"Very well."

Emmett taunts the red haired demon. Only wants to cause her actual pain. There was more to this now and though he didn't want to admit it he knew he was getting feelings for Bella Swan. So this felt even more personal now than ever before.

Emmett hissed out and tossed Victoria into a pile of steel beams.

"You shouldn't have ever came after her! You're death won't be quick I promise." He says surprising himself as she tries to get the upperhand but he doesn't even give her the chance. He takes her arms then her legs and last but not least her head.

"No one will ever hurt Bella!" He yells as he burns her body upon a barrel in the warehouse.

Emmett runs his hands through his hair confused by all his feelings. He feels guilty for having them. But should he?
