Edward was on the move.
Faster, I have to go faster.
He was just barely running in front of Rosalie and Emmett. Both had taken it upon themselves after the voteto set right Edward's wrong and protect the family. He was angry that they would betray him like this, he had to make this right and stop his siblings from reaching Bella. It was just before midnight and the two had set out through the woods to Bella Swan's house. He had to make it before Rosalie and Emmett.
Bella's life depended on it.
So he was streaking through the woods, trees streaking by as leaves crunched under his feet. He had no idea how he was going to stop them, and if Emmett decided to join in he would really be in trouble. Jasper was just happy to let Rose get her own hands dirty when doing the deed was done. By killing Bella, the supposed threat to Alice was eliminated.
Edward arrived at the edge of the tree line, his eyes scanning the Swan residence. The only light was coming from the kitchen. He moved at a noticeably slower pace when he was closer to the house when he heard a light breathing, and a calm heart beating. The noises were quieter than most humans', but that didn't matter because she was still breathing, still alive. She was the only thing he could hear in the house and the noises were coming from the second story window that faced a large tree on the back of the property.
Just then Edward turned as he heard the sound of fast approaching feet, his brother and sister no doubt. Right on cue, Rose and Emmett stepped out of the tree line, their pale complexions seeming to glow, like his own, under the moonlight.
"Edward, get out of here." Rosalie growled, no longer keeping her anger in check.
'Sorry bro, I tried to talk her out of it but it was a no-go. I had to make sure she was okay. Can't let anything happen to my Rosie, you know.' Emmett apologized mentally, following it up with a sorry smile.
'Like that will make it all better.' Edward mentally said, but being the only one that could hear his own thoughts, he voiced them aloud. "Dammit Rose, I'm not letting you hurt her. If it comes down to it…" What? Would he really hurt on of his siblings, his family, if they truly threatened to kill Bella? 'His Bella' Some primal part of him corrected. Yes, he wanted her. She was torture to him but as time went on, she was wearing him down just by existing, just by being around him. "I'll not hesitate to end either of you."
Rose, always quick with snappy comebacks, only snared. "I don't think you have the balls."
She took a step forward, then another, and then she was moving, but so was Edward. Her mind focusing on a song all the while Emmett's was reciting move by move actions of a UFC fight from some time ago. He had to give it to Emmett that was pretty smart because it helped to mask his own actions.
Emmett was attempting to grapple with Edward and not take a chunk out of him. All he wanted to do was just subdue him, all the while Edward was trying to hold Rose back.
Edward pushed and pulled but fighting against the two was wearing on him. It soon dawned on him that he could not fight both forever and hope to win. With that one thought he lost his edge and let Rose slip out of his grip. Edward's hand caught only a few strands of her hair as she broke from his grip. Edward was finally rendered useless by Emmett, his right arm being pinned to his back much like he was earlier that day by Bella.
Edward watched helpless and in horror as Rosalie turned and gave him a snide look before jumping up into the tree and flew towards the window. It was like the world started moving in slow motion. He struggled for freedom but there would be none until Emmett allowed it, and then it would be too late.
Rose lifted the window and she was inside.
Edward thought he had left humanity behind before, but at that moment, he could swear that his heart had stopped all over again. He stopped breathing.
The silence of the snow-covered night was destroyed as a scream rang out from the room and just as quickly, it was silenced.
.( ̵˃﹏˂̵ )
I woke suddenly and noticed that the room had a cool breeze blowing through it. The window was open, but I knew that I didn't leave it open. I didn't even remember opening it last night. The haze of sleep was wearing off and my brain began to process what was happening. Then I saw it. A figure was standing at the foot of my bed looking at me, and the breeze suddenly felt like ice water had been dumped on me. I did the first thing that my mind told me to do.
I screamed.
Quickly, faster than my mind could keep up the figure was gone and positioned right beside me and it's cold hand stretched out and covered my mouth silencing my scream of terror. My eyes focused on the figure as she leaned in and her face was bathed in moon light. The honey, yet slowly darkening eyes of Rosalie Hale were staring at me with such a fire that I had never seen before. I had seen people angry but this was beyond anger, she looked downright murderous.
'Well, we better hope the faith you have in the Cullens' is well founded.' Dad's words came to mind in this moment and anger started to well up in me.
I had hoped that my subtle understanding with Carlisle about our different secrets would hold off the questions. I never expected someone to break into my room to confront me head on. The thought that someone would invade my personal space was infuriating and before I knew it, I was seeing red. My right hand shot out and was around Rosalie's neck in an instant, while my other hand quickly wrapped around the wrist of the hand that was covering my mouth.
Slowly, I pulled the hand free from my mouth. I moved her arm away slowly, feeling out just how strong Rosalie Hale was and, like her brother Edward, her eyes grew wide as her strength was slowly overcome by my own. Surprise was evident on her face, but that was quickly turning to fright as she realized I was stronger and try as she might, she could not get free.
I didn't know what I was going to do with this person and I was reacting on instinct. She had invaded my home and attacked me in my sleep. It was evident that keeping secrets wasn't good enough, they wanted me dead.
I was mad and starting to see red again. I wanted her to hurt, and I reacted on that by rolling to the left and pulling Rosalie Hale over top of me. I launched her toward the window as hard as I could.
Her body flew and hit the window, her eyes were wide as she crashed into the window shattering it completely, the wooden frame cracked under the force that Rosalie had hit it. She was surprised and tried to right herself as my feet hit the floor, my red haze still pushing me on to make the person that dared come into my home and harm me. I gritted my teeth as I pushed off the floor, my mind focused solely on my enemy.
The boards buckled as I launched myself at the invader. she moved, turning to escape out the window. But I was fast enough to grab a handful of hair as my body crashed into her. The window frame giving way as we both went sailing out of the window.
The blonde screamed as we fell together toward earth as glass and wood debris rained down around us. I was to intent on making this girl pay for coming into my home to notice anything other then focus of my rage.
We slammed into ground and Rosalie's face took the brunt of the fall as we both hit the ground. My head came forward slamming into the back of her head dazing me, as hard as she was I would swear she was made of rock.
Rose had the leverage and her reaction time was faster. She threw me backwards towards the house a good ten feet. The cold of the snow bit into me, but it wasn't enough to lessen the rage I was feeling. All that mattered was me getting my hands around the blonde's neck and squeezing until I watched the light drain out of her.
I clamored up from my position on the ground after being thrown, and regained my balance to face the enraged beauty.
Rosalie was up now, eyes wide as she snarled and bared her perfect teeth. This just had the effect of riling me up even more. I wanted to beat her up, no, I wanted to tear her limb from limb. We both leapt at the same time and I could hear other voices screaming at the two of us but they were muddled. Right now nothing mattered other than killing m .

In his one hundred and some odd years, Edward had seen many great things. Two world wars, men landing on the moon. Never in his life had he expected to see his sister being forced through a window, much less the one propelling her being the girl that he was beginning to understand he had feelings for.
The look of burning rage on Bella's face was clear, she was murderous. It was the same look he had received for that briefest of moments earlier at the hospital. But as Rose fell with Bella on her back, he could tell that the anger wasn't going away as fast this time.
The two hit the ground with a thud, and Bella's head slammed into Rose's head. To Edward, it was like he was watching human-like dominos.
The situation was like a train wreck, he wanted to look away, but he couldn't.
The surprises didn't stop there. Rosalie threw Bella off of her as she stood and turned to face the human, something about using the work human to Edward did sit right with Edward with what he was seeing. Both females were starting down each other. It was obvious to him that Rose was the faster of the two by a large margin, but Bella seemed to be holding her own with her super hero strength.
The two swapped blows as they jumped at each other, a sickening smack sounded around them.
Bella was starting to stand up after she had been thrown to the ground. Edward watched as Bella screamed and threw herself at the blonde the force she was able to use was amazing and the two skidded on the ground. He was horrified as he saw Bella finally wrapped her hands around Rose's neck and we all hear the telltale sound of skin cracking.
Edward had been so enraptured with the fight he missed Emmett letting lose his grip and just as quickly his mind refocused on the world around himself, as Emmett ran to the aid of his mate.
Edward was right on his heels but Emmett had a head start and reached the two prone girls first. Emmett was moving faster than Edward had seen his body builder brother move in a while. Emmett wrenched Bella from Rose, but not without difficulty, Edward noted.
However Emmett's worry for his mate had removed any hesitation he might have had to hold back his strength. So it wasn't a surprise when Bella was thrown away from Roselie with as much force as Emmett was to able.

Charlie Swan liked Forks. It was his home; it was a small quanta town that had just the kind of charm that attracted him. Namely it was a sleepy calm little town, something that Charlie really liked. Not that Charlie didn't mind a little excitement, but a missing hiker or the occasional speeding ticket was enough for him.
So when Charlie Swan was just about to pull into his driveway he was very surprised as a mahogany headed blur landed in front of his cruiser, only to be hit and thrown forward by said cruiser.
It took Charlie all of two seconds after the car stopped to put it in park and realizing that he was looking at the crumpled form of his daughter. She was starting to move from the pile she was in several yards in front of the car from where the force had knocked her.
The cruiser door was opened and he was out the next second. His eyes landed on the equally stunned sight of three of the Cullens childen. The bigger of the three was holding the blonde on to his chest as she looked like she might be crying.
The sinking feeling was bad enough when he looked to see Bella starting to stand, her breathing was hard, and in an instant he was worried that she was mad.
"Damn it." he cursed under his breath.
He moved to Bella as she stood, and was starting to look around. No doubt for the focus of that anger. He thought mootly. Well I was a teen once too.
Charlie moved to his daughter's side as he pulled a small pouch from his back pocket.
"Bella Marie!" She shouted to the girl and it had the desired effect she whirled on him. However before she could react, Charlie's hand flew forward and a fine powder flew from the pouch and into Bella's face. An almost dreamy look overcame her face as she started to fall to the ground, but never made it as Charlie had stepped in caught her.
"What did you do to her? Don't hurt her!" Charlie looked up to see Edward walking toward him, his eyes boring into the chief of police. In retaliation, Charlie fixed Edward with a look that stopped him in his tracks.
"Don't!" Charlie said for further effect.
He looked his child over and he could tell she had been roughed up, and she had actually taken a few good hits. While she would heal fine, it was obvious that whoever she had been going at was strong enough to bruise her. She would have a nice black eye for a day or two but he didn't think it was enough to really harm her. Other than the headache from getting the Verbascum powder to the face.
Charlie looked from the now unconscious face of his daughter to the three Cullens that were no doubt looking flabbergasted with what was going on.
"You three, you stay right there, don't move. If you leave before I get back and I have to come to your house tonight, you will not like what comes next." His tone was that of authority, one that was cultivated from years of being an officer. It left no room question and the three Cullens wisely did as they were told.
Bella was deposited in the house in the recliner and Charlie returned from the house and moved his banged up car. The front was dented severely and would take a long time to fix.
Maybe I can pass it off as hitting a deer. He thought as he sighed involuntarily and moved to check the inside of the cruiser. The damage to the car had only succeeded to make Charlie more mad than he was before about Bella getting hurt.
"You three, get in the house. Now!" Charlie said as he slammed the door of the cruiser, giving the damage to the front of the car a quick glance.
"Go in and sit on the couch!" He said as he studied the faces of the three, he could tell the girl was the one that Bella had been fighting with, she was covered in dirt and grime. Also, if his eyes weren't playing tricks on him, he would dare say that the girl looked to have cracks on her neck.
He took another deep sigh.
Charlie stepped in after the three teenagers, pulled his cell phone from his pocket, and began thumbing through his contacts for a certain doctor's phone number. He, thankfully, had gotten it a few weeks ago after they found a hiker that had broken his leg in the woods.
The look on the copper headed boy perked up as he dialed.
"Yes, is Doctor Cullen there?" Charlie watched the as the copper headed young man looked over at his now rousing daughter. "Hello Doc," he paused. "No, I'm fine and so is Bella, however I think you should come over here and let's have a talk. I have three of your kids here and we all need to have a talk. Seems my daughter's faith in you lot was misplaced."
Charlie's expression hardened as the looked at the children, and he knew that look. Thought he had not been in Bella's life as much as her mother. he could still pull off the menacing parent look; a look that made any child know they had done something wrong and are going to be punished for it.
Sorry for the delay, work has been a nightmare as I had a lot to do before finishing up for the holiday. So a few tidbits are added here and more and more mysteries. :3 I know the most prominent is, what is Bella? And now I guess you're asking yourself: What is Charlie? Are they the same?
I hope you're enjoying the story. I really did not intend to keep Bella like she was in the book. I really wanted to take a different direction to the story and well this is it.
Q&A...
jansails: To be fair, Alice never really voted she was just really upset about not being able to see things and she felt like she was losing her visions, something that she relies on far too much in my opinion. I did go back into Ch.2 and add a little more in hopes of fleshing out Alice's feelings about what's happening with her and why she didn't vote/had her vote misinterpreted.
qhrciskrpc: I hope I came off as making her come off as a little, not to say I'm going to kill her just that she is not as fast as a vampire or as graceful. Example: a Vampire can stop on a dime, (Even with the force it would take to move that fast, never figured that out but meh.) Bella, however, could not do this and would more than likely slide and make a nice dirt skid as she would stop from the force of her movement. I'll work harder on making this come across and let it be know.
alculard: Thanks, Rose is a bitch and she works really hard to live vicariously through Bella. No one ever told her that it was polite to let others live their life the way it make sense to them I guess.
Thanks to every reader and reviewer alike. But I could always use some more reviews.
Go on strike my ego. ;3 Later all, and happy holidays.
