Chapter 1: The Intruder
Emmett's P.O.V
I'd just finished hunting when I caught that ever so familiar scent fill my nose; I felt it flare in annoyance as I held onto Alice's hand tighter, practically dragging my wife across the green field.
"You knew!" I said accusingly to her.
"Em, I swear… I didn't know she was coming." Alice replied as golden eyes became slightly darker. "Why is she here?" she hissed as we rounded the bend before leaping easily over the river.
"I was just in the area… Thought I'd drop in and see y'all!" I really hated her. She was the devil's spawn that girl and unfortunately she is immortal so I couldn't get rid of the problem easily! Alice would definitely help me but then Rosalie and Jasper were always an issue there. The 3 of them were close, like the 3 were in love or something… I'm never going to understand that relationship
"Oh, Bella! Thank you!" The sound of Esme's welcoming voice to the intruder caused Alice to take the lead. She hated Bella just as much as I did. "I love your visits! I don't know why you just don't stay!"
The sound of her chuckle pissed me off to the point that I didn't slow to open the door, just went flying straight into it, the door cracking in protest before shattering into a million splitters.
"EMMETT!" Esme's shocked voice screamed. "ALICE! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT FOR!" He voice was viscous as she hissed, falling into a crouch.
Ignoring the others in the room, Alice and I subconsciously took a step back, regret immediately filling me. Cursing Esme means pain! Cursing Esme means pain! Cursing Esme means pain! I repeated the words in my head, fear filling me.
"Esme… I –" Alice stumbled over her words, fear evident in her own voice.
Esme straightened up, a scowl expressed dangerously on her face as Carlisle's eyes squinted angrily.
"I'm sorry… that was my fault…" I said sincerely. This was all Bella's fault! She always brought the violent side out of me!
"Why did you do that?" Our mother spat angry and impatient.
"I believe he is still holding a grudge against me Emse." Bella spoke with a fold of her arms over her chest, her face also in a scowl.
Esme sent a final glare before turning to Bella, Carlisle following suite as Jasper entered the house through the back entrance with Rosalie.
"BELLA!" Rosalie screamed excitedly before running to her fucking stupid friend. "What are you doing here? I've missed you!"
Bella grinned, her arms reaching out for my blonde haired sister. "Lee Lee!" She said happily as Rose ran into her arms and hugging her. I was extremely disgusted by the view in front of me and the stupid ass nickname that my sister was given. How could she be so affectionate to the back stabbing bitch?
Jasper sent a glare in Alice's and my direction before moving quickly to the four others.
"Bella!" He said happily as Rosalie continued to cling to the brunette as if her life depended on it.
Bella grinned at him before releasing Rose hesitantly and moving to hug her creator.
"My Jasper! How are you?" She grinned again before placing a kiss to his cheek and hugging him.
I heard Alice huff next to me, her hand releasing mine as she folded them across her chest, mimicking Bella's previous position.
"Let's go babe." I said angrily. She knew it wasn't directed at her, she knew Bella's presence or the mere discussion of her brought back horribly painful memories and anger out of me; like I knew it did to her.
"NEITHER of you are going anywhere!" Esme snapped as she sent another glare in our direction.
All discussion stopped immediately once her statement was concluded. I couldn't help the flinch that radiated off me; why did I have to piss our mother off? Stupid Emmett, really fucking stupid!
I sighed, defeat causing me to rub my forehead before turning to Alice. I reached out to her, pulling her to my chest and hugging her sympathetically.
"She'll be gone soon…" I reassured so only she could hear me.
Lifting my Alice gently, I moved to the loveseat and sat her in my lap, tracing her smooth skin to relax her.
Isabella had caused my Alice so much pain since Jasper (of all vampires!) changed her about 45 years ago. Jasper, Rosalie, Alice and I had been hunting when suddenly Jasper froze, his already dark eyes blackening to the extent that I knew it was dangerous to be within 5 miles of him. I pulled my mate and his behind my back and fell into a protective crouch, I feared that we might have offended him in some way. He then looked straight at Alice and my body tensed up, my teeth bared and a cautious growl building in my chest. He jumped straight over the three off us, running the direction directly behind Alice, causing my lips to curl over my teeth again, relaxing ever so slightly.
Both the girls were quick to turn around and pursuit him but I held Rosalie and Alice by their arms, forcing their protesting bodies to my own. He had the most fighting skills and I knew better then to interfere with him prey. I had the fucking scar on my shoulder to prove it!
Once I thought he was ahead far enough, I released Rosalie first since she had been struggling and growling at me to let go. I grabbed a hold on Alice's hand before we took off in the same direction as Jasper. I knew it must have been a human. No animal prey could set one of us off like that.
"JASPER! NO!" We heard Rosalie's fearful yell. Alice gave me a quick sideway glance before we both sped up.
The scene before me was terrifying. Jasper had Rosalie pinned to the ground, growling at her for interfering with his feed. I released Alice's had quickly, halted all breathing and pounced on Jasper as the young woman he had attacked let out an ear piercing scream. I locked my arms around Jasper's arms and chest, squeezing him with as much strength as I could muster.
"Jasper, calm down! That's Rose… Your love, your wife…" I spoke as soothingly as possible. "Your mate." I finished before repeating the line calmly.
Rosalie stood up, moving quickly to her mate and looking into his eyes. "Baby… Jasper, baby… It's me." She spoke so softly, looking at him with a reassuring smile. "I love you…"
Jasper seemed to calm slightly but I refused to let go. I quickly looked over my shoulder to see if Alice was ok; she was leant over the girl, whispering soothing words to her as she held her hand.
Jasper was mortified about what he did; attacking an innocent girl before nearly killing his own mate. He fled while Rose went to the soon-to-be vampire's side, lifting her and racing to the house. She knew Jasper needed space and she was going to give it to him.
He returned 2 days later, filthy from the amount of blood he had drank and the dirt that smothered him; he was usually the neatest of us when it came to hunting. He went straight to his Rose and dropped to his knees and begged for her forgiveness in front of all 5 us family members. She immediately dropped to her knees too, cupping his face with teary eyes before kissing him.
It was such an intimate moment between the 2 that Alice and I immediately left the pair with Carlisle and Esme following.
And then she woke up.
"Emmett… I need to talk to you." Jasper interrupted my musings, his voice oddly firm.
"I'll be right back." I whispered to Alice, placing a kiss to her forehead before lifting her off me and onto the vacant space next to me.
"I wish you'd stop hating on her!" He hissed at me angrily.
A scowl covered my face as I folded my arms and leaned against the cemented walls of the garage. "I hate her and it's not going to change." I snapped back.
"She apologised decades ago Emmett! To both you and Alice! She's fucking trying! She's been apologising whenever she sees you two!" He growled back as his body stiffened. "Do you know how hesitant and guilty her emotions are? Do you want to know how sorry she is?"
I smirked at him then, ignoring his comments and glad that I was getting under his skin. "Jasper, just pretend for a second would ya?" I exaggerated the fake enthusiasm into my voice and used my arms to emphasise my wording. "What would you fucking do if I was attracted to Rosalie? Wanted to kiss and hug her affectionately? Make love to her? Huh? What the fuck would you do?" I had my answer, he didn't need to respond through the mouth; I could feel the anger ripple through my body that he couldn't control.
"I'd fucking kill you!" He hissed so harshly that it took physical effort to prevent the flinch that wanted to express itself. "I'd rip you apart piece by piece and make you watch each part of your body burn." He ended with a deadly whisper, his glaring eyes darkening with the effect of his scowl; I didn't, I couldn't stop the flinch that radiated off me. If I was human, I knew I'd be shaking in my boots that would be soaked with piss.
"Then back off would you?" I nearly yelled. "The stupid slut nearly ruined my marriage! My life with my only mate would've ended!"
I stormed back inside, glaring at Bella who stood next to Rosalie. I walked straight up to her, spinning her around as everyone's attention turned to us. I knew they had heard Jasper and I anyways.
"What the hell at you doing here Bella! You know you aren't wanted!" I hissed angrily as Alice came up behind me.
"Emmett! –" I cut Esme's growl off.
"No I'm serious Bella! What the fuck are you doing here? Don't you think you've done enough damage to this family?" I hissed over my mother.
I watched as Bella's expression saddened and her body flinch slightly. GOOD!
"I'm here because I wanted to be with some of my family." She whispered. "I haven't exactly had an easy life as a nomad since I was kicked out of this coven."
A sudden wave of many emotions hit me then; anger, sadness, guilt, sadness, disappointment, dread, hatred, fear were the most dominant.
I turned to see why this was happening; Jasper was gripping the now powdered concrete wall, as he tried to rein in the emotions that everyone was feeling.
Bella suddenly sighed again, her eyes filling with tears that would never fall. "I know that I messed up when I was changed, that I nearly ruined your relationship –"
"Damn straight you did SWAN!" Alice hissed from my shoulder as Bella once again flinched.
"And I apologise, from the bottom of my dead heart, I'm so sorry…" Her voice filled with what sounded like desperation and sincerity; the whimper that Jasper expressed as his hold on the wall tightened didn't escape me and it seemed to back up her apology.
Alice hissed angrily as she crossed her arms and turned her face away. She was not forgiven.
"That's not good enough Bella." I said firmly though the feelings Jasper was sending seemed to make me want to accept it. I would never forgive Bella for that night; she was going to rip and burn Alice apart to be with me. She would not physically harm me but the damaged she had done emotionally was horrifying, something my excellent memory would never forget.
I really thought she was going to do it; she had Alice in pieces and the fire started and I blocked out of the fight with her metal shield stopping any thoughts of helping or defending my Alice. But she didn't. I don't know if it was the look I gave her, on my hands and knees begging for her to stop when she looked at me before she ended my mate's life or it was because of her own feelings. She just dropped Alice's torn apart body and her shield before falling to her knees with slouched shoulders and dry sobbed.
I heard Jasper & Emse growl, snapping me out of my thoughts. The first thing my line of vision focused on was the glare Rosalie gave us.
"Then what the fuck am I supposed to do that is good enough?" Bella snapped suddenly, her body posture no longer rigid. She stood straighter and more confident. "I've apologised millions of times, I've never looked at you two or spoken to you, I've given you space, I've fucking done as much as I could think of! And it still doesn't please you! What the hell do you want me to do?" She was now yelling at us, her lips in a tight line and her usually golden eyes were as black the night sky.
"Personally, I wish you'd just burn." Alice said with a smirk.
There were only two sounds in the room before any movement occurred; one was a gasp and the other was a growl. Jasper and Rosalie immediately fell into a crouch whilst Emse was pulled into Carlisle chest. Alice fell into her own crouch before I dropped down too.
"If that is what you wish." And before anyone could really process what was said, Bella was out the door, a slight breeze flowing past me.
"BELLA!" Jasper and Rosalie were immediately after her. Emse followed quickly while Carlisle stayed behind, disappointment the only real evident emotion on his face.
"That is NO way to treat a sister Alice and Emmett!" Carlisle's voice was venomous, sending a chill through my already dead body and making the hairs stand on me.
"SHE is not MY sister!" Alice spat each word out and her face screwed up like she had eating human food.
"Bella is apart of this family as much as you and Emmett are Alice!" Carlisle's face was now glowering; the way that it only came when he was beyond disrespected. "I am extremely disappointed in you both. She has been through so much since she messed up and I can tell you she is extremely sorry for her previous actions."
I only nodded, the guilt evading ever fibre, every emotion in my body. I didn't want Carlisle to be disappointed in me. Though not biological, he was a father to me. He meant a lot to me and I never wanted to see him hurt, to suffer.
Alice shuffled slightly next to me, her arms falling to her sides again. "I'm sorry Carlisle, it's just not easy to forgive –"
Her beautiful voice was cut off and I was shocked to see her flying through the air before knocking out the wall and landing in the grass on the side of the house, cement dust and rocks surrounding her. A blonde blur was straddling Alice's waist before she could even sit up; her left arm rose in the air before forming a fist and coming down, a loud bang echoing off the trees before her right arm mimicked the movements and creating the same sound effect.
"YOU STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER!" I had finally remembered how to shift my legs and quickly moved to the fight that was occurring.
Rosalie was slamming her closed fists into Alice's face, the sound of thunder created with every punch. I wanted to break it up, rip Rosalie off my wife and tear her to pieces for hurting her but I was suddenly in a death grip and being pulled to the powder covered grass.
"Let them at it." Jasper whispered sternly in my ear as Carlisle assisted in restraining me. The protectiveness of my wife, the need to help her that overcame me then created the muscles in my arms to flex, the force causing Jasper's arms and hands to loosen ever so slightly; just enough to pull my arm out and grab him by the throat. Though breathing was not necessary, the thought of it not being there made you somewhat panic; that's what Jasper did, he released any hold he had on me and moved his hands to his throat, frantically clawing at my hands to give him our security; to give him the air he desired.
Another loud thunderous sound echoed off in the distance, before there was a sound of cracking and a loud bang caused me to lose focus as the thought of Alice filled my head with the pain she could be in from landing and knocking over the tree. Jasper took advantage of his, gripping my shoulder and twisting it. I growled before yelling in pain and moving back; my arm still gripping my brother's throat. I stumbled backwards, anger and hurt filling me as my eyes fell on my right arm.
"If want that to be the only piece removed off you, stay there!" His voice was filled with authority as I flinched slightly and my arm loosened, dropping to the ground. I was glad my pride knew better then to fuck with Jasper; I would be detached from the rest of my body in a matter of 4 seconds maximum.
"We need to stop them!" The sound of Esme's concerned voice now filled the area as she stood in the huge whole in the wall that Alice had made. "Carlisle –" she was cut of as a piercing scream bounced of the trees. I knew that scream!
I was off into the woods before the rest of them, desperate to get to Alice and protect her; I didn't want her to be ripped to shreds all over again; I didn't want to lose her. Though Bella was gone, Rosalie and her had basic self defence training from Jasper and Bella was an exceptional kick boxer so I knew my Alice was be pretty screwed if it came down to her fighting either of the two.
My fear that had built during my short run quickly turned to shock at the scene before me; the trees that usually stood tall and thickly in this particular area had now been totally uprooted and lay on the almost muddy ground, some with hand prints indented into them from where one of the girls had gripped it and other completely cracked and broken down to the point of dust.
Rosalie stood crouched over Bella who sat on the ground in what looked like a awkwardly painful position. She quickly pushed the thick truck of a tree off her leg that seemed to be bent in an odd position. Alice stood opposing the 2, her eyes completely black as she heaved on the air around her; a smirk spread across her porcelain face. I was at her side quickly when I noticed what was wrong with Bella; somehow, her right leg had not broken off when it was in the process of being pushed forward to the point where her knee had been twisted forward.
"Evil fucking pixie!" I heard her hiss before she held her right side hip up, her thigh in the air as her foot practically touched her face. I couldn't help it, it wasn't something you see everyday and was a complete shock. My heartfelt laughter filled the entirely clearing as Alice joined it.
Her face formed a scowl as Rosalie growled at us. Jasper quickly joined the pair and was at Bella's side immediately with a total mortified expression.
I stopped laughing then as Bella whimpered. "Please move away Jasper. Leave this clearing." She said firmly as she looked pleadingly into his eyes.
"What? Hell no Bella!" Of course he would protest.
Bella growled at him. "I'm going to be inflecting a lot of pain right now so please get the hell out of here!"
"I'm not leaving – Arghh!" The sound of a loud crack became audible before he yelled in what sounded like pain as he fell to the ground withering. WHAT THE FUCK? I though as Alice, Esme and Carlisle gasped
Bella let out her own scream as her hands suddenly rested on her now straight leg. Rosalie looked frantic after she winced and her eyes became watered. I'm never going to understand their relationship
Bella was now heaving up air as she flew down to the ground, lying down as if that would lessen the pain. She had pushed her lower leg back to its correct position and the pain she must have felt doing it must've been what caused Jasper to be on his back.
Alice was suddenly laughing at the scene before her as Esme tended to Jasper. Carlisle was at Bella's side holding her hand as he examined her leg. I loved my wife to death and would never do anything to intentionally hurt or harm her in anyway but I could help the disappointed look that I casted at her. Though I hated Bella, Jasper was in pain and he is our brother; why was this amusing to her?
My glare didn't bother her in anyway as her tinkling laughter interrupted all the concerns and comfort that Bella and Jasper were receiving. It did halt however when her vision fell upon the daggers that Esme was sending her. I unconsciously took a step back, metal scolding myself for pissing my mother off for what seemed like the hundredth time in less then an hour. She gave Jasper one more concerned look as if checking if me was ok before she was in front of Alice, her glare intensifying immensely.
"This is inexcusable Alice!" She spoke rather calmly. Before I even let her continue, I dropped to my knees, threw my hand up to my chest (since my other hand was back at the house) and began my metal prayer. Oh my fucking God! Please, please save me! Save us! Please don't let the shit it the roof! Please, I will never curse you or use your name in vain again, or Jesus! Please!
This was the calm before a huge, mind blowing storm would hit full force. Esme Cullen was not someone you mad angry; she was one of those people who were calm and collected all the time, never angry or offended. She was a genuine. Loving person. Now she was pissed, really fucking pissed. Because of me. Me and Alice.
"Esme, darling… I think we need to help Bella and reconnect Emmett with his arm…" Carlisle spoke warily, also aware that the storm was still brewing. Thank you daddy!
Emse gave one finally glare to Alice, a confused look at me for my actions and a "We will continue this later" hiss before turning back to her mate and her children.
