"Trauma" by rdrayman101
I don't own Twilight, its characters, or any part of it.
However, this work is my creation. Comments are very much appreciated, as is constructive critisism. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.
Preface
I watched in horror as our enemies looked at us, eyes blazing. Squeezing my eyes shut, I waited for the end. The last thing I thought of was him. How much I had hurt him, how much I hurt both of them.
Chapter 1
My name is Bella Swan and I am a vampire. My husband (and also vampire) Edward and I have lived happily for 12 years of my immortal life. Our daughter (and half-vampire) Renesmee, has grown to appear to be a young adult, while her mental and emotional development put her well into adulthood.
Twilight, Edward's favorite time of day. It was ironic that vampires should favor that time of day: No longer day, but not yet night. But tonight was not a good one for us, not with the bad news that had just been delivered by my closest friend, Jacob Black.
"What did you say, Jacob!?" I shrieked in horror. I glanced at Edward, standing beside me, hardened expression on his face and still as a statue, too still.
"I couln't save her, Bella. She's dead, I'm so sorry." Jake said in a crumpled voice. He was no longer the Jacob I had known, no longer my own personal sun, he was an empty shell. As if all the life had left his body, his eyes were dull, not a gleam of life left in them.
"Tell me who did it Jacob, you tell me right now!" I screamed in agony, Edward put a hand on my shoulder to try to calm me.
Jacob just looked at me with a pained expression, then in a shaky voice he said "It was Sam, he lost control when he found out...", his voice broke off.
"Found out what?" Edward asked evenly. How could he be so calm?
"When he found out that -- that she was," Jacob hesitated, he looked too frightened to continue.
"What?" Edward and I yelled together.
"When he found out that she was pregnant --" Jacob swallowed nervously, "-- with our child."
Pure rage took over, I seemed to lose control over my actions and observe from afar as I lunged at Jacob with all my strength. Edward started forward a second too late, I already had him pinned to the ground, my hand around his throat.
