A/N: First off, all my love and thanks to my favorite muse and Beta, SY. Without you, my brain farts would a lot more often. Remember as always I won nothing of the word that the great Mrs. Meyer's created for us. I just frolic in it like my own little wonderland.
Chapter 2
Emmett's POV
We walked at crawling pace, which was a normal pace for humans, but I knew that she didn't like to be carried and I actually didn't mind so much. Although something was nagging me in the back of my mind, something telling me to be on my guard, but I couldn't see the reason for it. It was probably because the dog was so close to me, only Bella separating us.
We had only walked a mile or two before we reached a small clearing with a well worn dirt bike path and two clearly used bikes sat by them selves. I cocked an eye-brow at my sneaky sister in law. "Why you deceiving little mouse!" I said, pointing an accusing finger her way, although countering it with laughter I couldn't hold back. She blushed slightly, but her triumphant grin didn't fade.
"Hey I would rather he be angry about my choice to cliff dive then give him another reason to not like Jake and the guys." She grinned at her best friend. "Well Jake really, there is no chance in him coming around to the guys."
"You're such a fucking martyr, Bella" Jake said, ruffling her hair playfully. "Like I give a fucking shit if that asshole likes me or not."
"So how often have you done this?" I asked, idolly wondering what else she was keeping from good old Edward.
Her blush deepened and she shifted uncomfortably looking to Jake who just laughed at her uneasiness. "Sincebeforeweweremarried." she rushed out, mumbling so bad that even as a vampire I couldn't understand her.
I made a show of putting my hand to my ear and leaning closer toward her. "What was that?"
Jake laughed even harder, falling to his knees and gasping loudly in his hilarity. Bella shot daggers between the two of us and turned her chin, up holding her head high. A gesture that she no doubt borrowed from Rosalie. "Since before we were married." She said pronouncing each word evenly.
I almost joined Jake on the ground, honestly if I had to actually breath, I would have suffocated by laughing so hard. Before they were married!Oh god that's rich!
Bella Stood over us with her hands on her hips staring icily at us. "Are we going to ride or giggle like the chicks we all are?" She walked over and threw her leg over one of the bikes before grinning evilly. It roared to life under between her legs, hot as fuck by the way and she took off in a cloud of dust thrown back at us.
I didn't bother with caution, it didn't even enter my mind to think of trivial thing like helmets and speed. I was a fucking vampire I don't make a habit out of putting the 'safety first' slogan into motion and as far as Bella went, she herself just said she had been doing this long enough to not be babied.
"She's actually pretty good. Only or or two emergency room visits, or home repair if you will, when she didn't want Dr. Cullen to find out." Jake chimed in as if he heard my thoughts, which was a little annoying since I was enjoying not being around a mind reader. "Wanna go?"
Well, fuck, if Jake believed in her, then that's good enough for me. I shrugged walking over to the second bike and was soon speeding away catching up to the little dare-devil ahead of me. I was sure that all the teasing for being a weak human went out the door at the sight of her on the bike, flying threw the forest, with a smile on her face, cheeks flush and her mahogany hair flying behind her. Putting out a challenge with the grin that spread across her lips she pushed the throttle, leaning close to the gas tank and standing on the pegs a slightly.
I laughed at her childishness, really honestly enjoying this side of Bella I had never seen before. I saw it before Bella did, though it happened so fast I didn't even have time to shout a warning.
A large doe, spooked by the bikes ran into Bella's path who, always the fucking martyr, swerves to miss hitting it and plows into the tree line, disappearing in a downward projection into what could only be described as a mother fucking ravine in the forest. I don't know who put the Grand Canyon in fucking Washington, but they fucked up. I followed, jumping from the bike, letting it slide freely, to follow on foot.
The bike hit the ground hard, snapping a peg, but kept going down the way Bella had just seconds before. "Fuck!" I was already a blur, trying and praying to God and every deity that I could remember to let it have missed her. I was ignored.
"No!" I screamed out when I reached the bottom, taking in the mangled form that was now Bella, Isabella my sister-in-law, crumpled, wet, muddy, and dieing. "Bella, NO!"
She had slid down the, hill and apparently having a tree stop her fall at the bottom, her back laying against it and her legs out in front of her, as if she were just resting on it. Except my bike, my bike, which I had so fucking carelessly thrown, slid down and what looked like broke into pieces, leaving only the peg to ass end minus the tire in tact. The remaining peg was berried deep into where Bella's lungs would be, missing her heart by millimeters if I were to guess. Her head laid back on the tree and her eyes stared an unblinking blame in my direction. No!
"Oh god!" I head Jake sob and he skidded to a halt next to me. "WE HAVE TO HELP HER!" He screamed, but didn't move, we were both listening to her heart, sloshing slowly away, slower every beat.
"There is no way!" I said helplessly, dropping to my knees in front of my brother's wife, watching the light slowly fade in her eyes. "If we move her she will die anyways."
Jake eyes were wide and he breathed words that I knew were ripped straight from the sorrow in his heart. "Change her!"
My head snapped up to look at the man that fought tooth and nail against Bella herself, to keep her humanity in tact, the man that Bella once told me said to her that he would love her until the day her heart stopped beating. Here and now told me that those words were never more true. He was willing to trade loosing her to death for loosing her to in immortal being that he was sworn against. All that aside, I still stood up from the wet forest floor and looked at him dumbly."What?!"
"CHANGE HER!" He yelled again, shoving me in her direction.
"I - I- I Can't! I might kill her!" I stammered, never in my immortal life feeling as helpless as I did in this moment.
"SHE IS DIEING!" Jake's voice crack and his sobs took over.
A growl and two very familiar scents ripped threw he air and Bella was suddenly in the arms of her husband with Alice delicately removing the motorcycle chunk from her chest. His mouth sealed over the wound, as he sent is venom pumping into her weakly working veins. Alice followed suit with a bite to the wrist and glared at me. "HELP!" She growled toward my frozen form.
I jumped up to her last exposed major vein i could reach, her jugular vein. Biting into the tender but already torn and mangled flesh I did not suck, there was no temptation to taste. I felt the venom pooling into my mouth and let it flow into her. I no longer prayed, fuck them they didn't listen anyways, no I willed this to work. With ever fiber of whatever we are made out of that I had making up my body, I willed for this to please bring Bella back to us. Please don't let me have just killed my brother's wife.
I looked up, noticing Jake had gone.
When we were positive that Bella would change, Edward carried her to Alice's car so that we could take her home to Carlisle.
"What the FUCK were you thinking?!" Alice was screaming at me. Alice, I use to like Alice.
"There is nothing you could say to me that couldn't make me feel any fucking worse, Pix," I said hollowly. I wasn't thinking and that was the point, but now I was. I was thinking of nothing other then I ruined her, I killed her, I brought this life on her. Edward was never going to changer her, we all, including her, knew this and she was starting to like being human. I took that from her. "So remember I love you when I say, please go fuck off."
"Emmett." I looked up at her, all the pain and guilt and remorse I felt I was sure radiated off of me and showed in my eyes. Good thing Jasper wasn't around, I would have him to his knees with the amount of guild and pain I felt.
"Please." Was all I said, before walking out the back door. Bella was with Carlisle and Edward now, safe. Safe.
I kept walking, unsure of where, just trying to out distance the malevolent disgrace I felt.
A/N: Thanks for all the love! Like I said the Vampire POV is new to me, but I love Emmett and he reminds me of Quill, so It's not too different. Once again, shouting out my love to my WONDERFUL muse and Beta SY. Love you!
