Bella POV
I quietly opened the door and edged around it setting my bag on the ground. I carried Masen up to his room then went back to the car for the rest of the bags. It was early in the morning and we'd just arrived back home. I busied myself with unpacking and starting a load of laundry. Unwilling to think about what I knew was coming.
After the laundry I attacked the dishes, then wiped the kitchen clean. After that was done I found that I'd only burned three hours. I set in another load of laundry and threw the first load into the dryer. Then went upstairs to pick Masen's clothes for the morning.
I became too scared to stop so I walked to the bathroom and took and long shower making a mental list of all the things I needed to do. After the shower I paced the room, not wanting to lie down and face all the thoughts that were nagging me.
"Bella?" Cam asked. I stopped pacing and looked up, Cam climbed out of the bed and walked across the room to hug me. "Bella you scared me, are you both okay? What happened?" he stepped back to stare into my eyes, but I shook my head and burst into tears.
"It's okay." He said and carried me to the bed "Your both okay now." I feel asleep in the only safe place I had now; his arms.
When I woke up Cam had already dropped Masen off at day care and had breakfast on the table. When he saw me he smiled and pulled my chair out. "How was your sleep?" he asked. I sighed and stared at my food.
"They were there." I said, suddenly I was angry and felt like punching someone. Oh man, I really needed to get a grip.
"What?" Cam asked surprised, "Bella, what happened?"
I relayed the story to him, losing Masen and then finding him with the Cullen's and losing my temper. Then Alice trying to follow me and talking to me, how I attacked her then ran away. I was nearly crying by the end but I held them back and finished my story.
"They're probably coming right now. And I don't know what I'm going to do." I said finishing and falling silent. Cam sat completely still across from me and I stared at my breakfast, afraid to look at him.
"We can't do anything but wait." He finally said. "And if you suspect anything call me and I'll come straight home." I nodded and sighed, all this stress was definitely not good for the baby.
"I'm scared." I whispered still staring at the table. He took my hand across the table and squeezed it.
"Don't worry." He said "I'll take care of you." I wanted to remind him that they were vampires. And we were human. But I trusted Cam, and I knew he'd find a way.
I began to relax after a few days when I didn't see any sign of them. Maybe Cam had found a way after all. But, then again, I was staying at home now. The baby was due any day now, and Cam and I didn't want to take any chances. We already my bag packed and had the procedure down.
Masen had been curious to why my belly had grown so much, and I had to sit him down and give him 'the talk.' He'd taken it pretty well and his favourite activity was now talking to my belly. Thankfully his hair started to change color. From Edward's bronze to my light brown.
We thought up names to and it took awhile since I'd decided I didn't want to know the gender before I gave birth. I waved to Cam and Masen from the porch as they left for the day. I went inside and started a new load of laundry taking the wet laundry on the patio and hanging it on the clothes line, which connected to it.
After that I went and cleaned the bathrooms down and then the kitchen. Three hours until Cam and Masen came back home. I sighed and went down to the living room to clean it up too.
I rounded the corner and stepped into the living room, and screamed at the sight before me. I took a step back, hyperventilating. "Bella, can we talk?" Alice asked stepping forward. I shook my head and took another step back, trying to find my voice to tell her to leave.
Alice looked pained and started to talk ignoring my last action. "I've been trying to apologize Bella…"
I zoned out pulling back into myself and breaking down. I couldn't take this, I'd finally gotten over them all and then they decided they wanted me back?
Flashback
"You don't want me?"
"No. I never did, Bella. I'm sorry I made you think so."
End Flashback
Who gave them the right? Anger flared up in me and I pulled myself together, I wouldn't stand for this. I was done with them, they didn't control me and I deserved to have my own life!
"Bella?" Alice had stopped talking and was looking at me with concern. I realized my arms were wrapped around me and I was gasping for air. I let my arms drop and stared her directly in the eyes.
"Get out." I said steadily, making sure she heard all the loathing in my voice. Shock filled her face and she took and step towards me.
"Bella! I said I was sorry!" She protested
"I don't care! You left me. I've moved on, and I don't want anything to do with you."
"I'm sorry, we only left because Ed—"
"Don't say his name!" I screamed, "I want you out!" everything was turning red quickly and I knew my eyes were changing. I was losing control.
"I know I don't deserve anything from you, but please answer this. Will you ever forgive me?" She waited for a few seconds and then sighed in defeat. "I'll go, but we want to see you again. We really are sorry for leaving you." Then she was gone. I stumbled to the couch and dropped onto it. I was surprised to find that tears were trailing down my face. I wiped them away, everything felt wet… I looked down and…
"Oh my god." I breathed, pain erupted in my stomach and I screamed. I reached for the phone and tried to punch in Cam's number but my vision was fading. Another pang went through me and I doubled over, sobbing through the pain.
I dropped the phone and wrapped my arms around my stomach. Something was wrong, suddenly I couldn't breath and everything was spinning. I screamed and closed my eyes. I gasped for breath and sobbed.
I needed to get to Cam. Where was the phone? I opened my eyes but as soon as I moved to reach for the phone another wave of pain hit me. A cry of pain escaped my lips and I curled around myself again.
I tried again punching in his number, another contraction hit and left me breathless and exhausted on the ground.
"Bella?" Cam. Cam was on the phone.
I opened my mouth to call out for help, but all that came out was another scream.
Sweat matted my hair against my forehead and soaked my clothes. I couldn't do this, it hurt. I didn't have to go through this with Masen, I'd had antibiotics to dull everything out. I was sure this wasn't usually for a human pregnancy, it shouldn't hurt this much.
"Bella! Are you okay?" Cam's voice reached me through the phone and I shook me head furiously then realized he couldn't hear me.
"Cam!" I called out weakly. I laid on the ground sobbing with my arms wrapped around my stomach. Black dots were swarming over my vision and I smelled blood over my clothes. Please, no, not my baby.
Why did everything happen to me?
Then everything went black.
Edward POV
We all sat waiting for Alice to return with news of Bella. Everyone decided not to show up at once and scare her. And Alice had already seen her, so she was the obvious choice. Memories of all the times I had with Bella flashed before my eyes. And I couldn't wait to see her again.
I heard Alice racing down the side road in her car and taking a sharp turn up the drive way. She got out slowly and walked even slower to the house. So things hadn't gone well with Bella.
When she came in she looked at everyone with sad eyes. "She hates me." Was all she said before she started to sob dryly Jasper was by her side in milliseconds sending calming waves over her and sitting her down.
"Just tell us what happened." he said soothingly, but I'd already read her mind and saw. Bella was pissed, my family didn't know the real reason. They didn't know what I said to Bella in the forest, the lies I'd told her so she would let me go.
I hoped that by pushing her away, I'd push her into the arms of a man safer than me. And it'd worked, except now I wanted her back. Alice finished her story and fell silent. After a few minutes of reading everyone's sullen thoughts I stood up.
This was my fault and I would make it right. Bella shouldn't be blaming them for what I did. I'd forced everyone to leave her. I thought it was the right thing at the time. I was just being myself, Bella's overprotective boyfriend.
I'd done what I wanted, but not what she needed. I was going to straighten this right now. She shouldn't be mad at them. She should be mad at me. And I wasn't going to let my family go through this.
I realized I'd just been standing there, and everyone was staring at me. "I'm going." I said then sped out the door. Not bothering to wait to hear what they had to say.
Bella POV
Everything had been perfect, Edward and I had been in love. Or at least I had been. So what happened? Why had he left?
"No."
The word resonated around my head. He didn't want me. Every day I was reminded of that. He hurt me beyond repair. And now he wanted me back. I couldn't say , I wouldn't, I wanted him to hurt the way he'd hurt me.
And his family hurt me too. They lied to me, especially Alice. She said she'd be there for me no matter what. Then she picked up and left. They all left me, broken and pregnant.
On my own…
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
My eyes felt like they were weighed down with a ton of bricks. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get them open. I tried to groan in exasperation but my voice wouldn't work.
I wanted Cam. I was scared and I didn't know what was going on.
Beep.
Where was I? What happened?
Beep.
Suddenly my eyes felt a little lighter, but still to heavy to lift up.
Beep.
I threw everything I had into it and opened my eyes, suddenly exhausted. I was staring at a door…a hospital door. I was in the hospital? I heard someone move next to me and started smile, thinking it was Cam. But when they came into my sight, I realized who it was.
Edward.
"Bella…are you okay?" he asked placing a hand on my shoulder.
I stared at him in shock. My heart stopped beating and I just stared, overcome by his unnatural beauty. Then I came back to my senses, this was Edward. The same Edward that left me pregnant and broken hearted. The same Edward who's family abandoned me.
I tried to say something, but I didn't have enough strength to move, much less talk.
"Bella I messed up. Leaving you was a mistake, and I realize that now. And even if you can't find it in your heart to forgive me right now, please don't be mad at my family. I forced them to leave. I thought it was what was best for you." He stared at me earnestly and with each second had gone by with him talking, I'd felt myself get angrier and angrier.
Adrenaline coursed through me and gave me the strength to push his hand off of me. "Find it in my heart? At least I have a heart Edward. And I wouldn't break up with someone and then completely isolate them. That's your idea of doing what's best for me? Get. Out. How many times have I had to say that to you Cullen's?" By the end I was shouting and my anger was out of control. "How can you even look me in the eyes? I regret ever starting something with you. I knew it was too good to be true. You just used me and threw me away like trash! And you just came back to toy with me again. I've moved on! And I know Tanya won't appreciate you being here."
"Tanya doesn't mean anything to me!" Edward protested, taking my hand in his.
"So you used her too? You never change Edward." I pulled my hand out of his and rolled over on the bed waiting for him to leave. I knew he would, I'd made myself completely clear.
"It's okay if you can't forgive me. I just want you to know, I did everything I did because I love you. My family loves you too. And they left because I asked them too. It's too dangerous for vampires to interact with humans like you and my family. They don't know anything about what happened Bella. I told them that you wanted it to end because you thought it was too risky being with a vampire. I told them I just wanted to get away because it was too painful being near you anymore. They thought you didn't want them, and they just wanted to help. So, I'm sorry."
They didn't leave me on purpose? How did I know he wasn't lying? He was probably just messing with me. Trying to get me to open up and let them back in, so he'd have a better chance.
What if the Cullen's hadn't really abandoned me? That meant I had a family back.
I had to take a chance. Because they were all so close to me, I couldn't just walk away from them if I knew they were mislead. I had to figure this out.
Why was I here anyway? How did I get here? Last thing I remember I was cleaning…then…what happened after that? I threw the sheets off and looked at my body. Nothing looked wrong. I was perfectly fine. But something seemed different about me.
I checked again, ten fingers, ten toes, two arms, two legs…no baby. I froze and stared at my flat belly. No baby. I started to panic, where was my baby? My breaths came quick and short and my hands flew to my stomach. What happened to me?
My heart monitor was going wild, but I didn't care. My baby was missing. I found myself trying to remember where I had it last, and I shook my head. Of course it would have been in my belly. The medicine clearly hadn't worn off yet.
I heard the door burst open but I didn't look up. I was trying to remember where my baby went. I had to find my baby, I couldn't let my baby be alone any longer. They must be so scared!
Suddenly there were hands pushing me down and sharp needles prodding me. I shouted in surprise then, everything was calm. My heart I slowed but my thoughts were going faster than ever. When I tried to sit up again someone gently pushed me back down.
"I need to find my baby! Let me go!" I shouted at them pulling away and trying again to sit up.
"Your baby is fine Mrs. Salvatore, if you would please—"
"No! NO! Where's is my baby? Where are they!?"
The nurses looked helplessly at each other, there were four nurses in the room and they were all moving around quickly, doing things my eyes couldn't follow. What drug was I on? I kept scanning the room until my eyes rested on the door. Leaning against it was, Cam.
He wore a blue button up shirt, which sleeves were rolled up to the elbows in that cute style of his. And denim jeans that fit him quite nicely. His hair was in slight disarray like he'd been running his hand through it, but it made him look even sexier.
He was staring at me with worry in his eyes, but he stayed where he was. I looked at him curiously, why wasn't he coming in? Suddenly I felt cold and just wanted his arms around me. Why wasn't he moving? Tears sprang to my eyes and I wiped the away. I continued to stare at him then worked up the strength to say something, anything.
"Cam." It came out as a whisper but by the way his expression changed I knew he'd heard. I reached my arms out to him, he didn't move and he stared at a nurse that was working on a machine near me. The nurse nodded at him and he strode forward next to my bed and gave me and huge hug. He sat next to me on the bed and wrapped his arms around me pulling me against his chest.
"Sorry, the nurses said I couldn't see you for awhile. I can't stay in here much longer." He explained, I nodded, feeling silly for thinking that he didn't want to be near me. "I was so worried about you. When you didn't answer I called an ambulance to go get you and came straight here. Jess went to go get Masen so they'll be here soon."
I nodded content in his arms. "And the baby's fine, they got to her in time and the delivery went smoothly. You did a great job, honey."
"Her? Its' a girl?" I asked slightly pulling away to look up into his eyes. He nodded and I smiled. Then I frowned, "But I don't remember."
He frowned looking confused, "What do you remember?" he asked, carefully.
"Um…" I racked my brain to what I was doing before, laundry, cleaning, dinner…that was it. After that everything was blank.
"The doctor said that its only temporary and just a side effect of the medication. But you'll remember eventually." Cam comforted me. I nodded and sighed, I felt like it was bad to not remember something this big. "Someone wants to se you." Cam smiled, Masen came barraling into the room a second later Jess a few steps behind him. He threw his arms around me snuggling under the sheets with me.
"I didn't want to go to school mommy, but Daddy said you'd need your rest. And I saw the baby! She's tiny! Was I that tiny? I don't think I was. And she cries a lot. Did I cry a lot mommy? Daddy! Tell mommy her name again! Since you forgot mommy I –" Cam clamped his hand over Masen's mouth and pulled him out of the bed onto his lap.
"Let's not tire your mother out before she gets to see your sister." Cam told him, Masen's shoulders slumped but when Cam took his hand away he was silent.
"What's her name?" I asked smiling.
"Renessmee. You named her that, you said you'd been thinking about it for awhile." I froze, my eyes widening. That's the name I thought up when I realized I was pregnant with Edwards' baby. Before I met Cam. When I was still in love with Edward. Why would I name her that? This was Cam and mine's baby. Edward was long gone
"That's nice." I heard myself say, but my mind was a million miles away, reaching for a memory. It was almost in my grasp then…
Flashback.
Pain. I was in pain, the baby was coming, and it hurt. I was screaming and crying and just wanted it to end.
"Can't you do something?" That was the first time I heard Cam shout at someone.
"It's too late for meds." Someone said, another contraction hit me and the screaming resumed. My hand found Cam's and I gripped it through the pain. He held my hand firmly and I felt him brushing my hair back from my face.
"It's okay Bells, it's all going to be okay."
"I can't!" I gasped shaking y head and taking the chance to breathe between contractions. "it hurts!"
"You can do it, honey. It's almost over, we're almost there."
"Okay, I need you to push Ms. Salvatore." The doctor instructed me.
"I'm right here, sweetheart. I'm with you." Cam whispered in my ear so only I could hear. He rested hisi head against mine and I gave it all I had left.
"Renessmee!" I gasped to Cam as I heard her screams. "We should name her Renessmee."
My mind spun again and suddenly I was lying in the bed. The setting was more calm than before and Edward was there.
Flashback
"Bella…are you okay?" he asked placing a hand on my shoulder.
I stared at him in shock. My heart stopped beating and I just stared, overcome by his unnatural beauty. Then I came back to my senses, this was Edward. The same Edward that left me pregnant and broken hearted. The same Edward who's family abandoned me.

Adrenaline coursed through me and gave me the strength to push his hand off of me. "Find it in my heart? At least I have a heart Edward. And I wouldn't break up with someone and then completely isolate them. That's your idea of doing what's best for me? Get. Out. How many times have I had to say that to you Cullen's?"

"Tanya doesn't mean anything to me!" Edward protested, taking my hand in his.
"So you used her too? You never change Edward." I pulled my hand out of his and rolled over on the bed waiting for him to leave. I knew he would, I'd made myself completely clear.
"It's okay if you can't forgive me. I just want you to know, I did everything I did because I love you. My family loves you too. And they left because I asked them too.

They thought you didn't want them, and they just wanted to help. So, I'm sorry."
Stop! I didn't want to see this! Someone make it stop!
I was in the living room.
"Bella, can we talk?" Alice asked stepping forward. I shook my head and took another step back, trying to find my voice to tell her to leave.
Alice looked pained and started to talk ignoring my last action. "I've been trying to apologize Bella…"
I zoned out pulling back into myself and breaking down. I couldn't take this, I'd finally gotten over them all and then they decided they wanted me back?
Who gave them the right? Anger flared up in me and I pulled myself together, I wouldn't stand for this. I was done with them, they didn't control me and I deserved to have my own life!
"Bella?" Alice had stopped talking and was looking at me with concern. I realized my arms were wrapped around me and I was gasping for air. I let my arms drop and stared her directly in the eyes.
"Get out." I said steadily, making sure she heard all the loathing in my voice. Shock filled her face and she took and step towards me.
"Bella! I said I was sorry!" She protested
"I don't care! You left me. I've moved on, and I don't want anything to do with you."
"I'm sorry, we only left because Ed—"
"Don't say his name!" I screamed, "I want you out!" everything was turning red quickly and I knew my eyes were changing. I was losing control.
"I know I don't deserve anything from you, but please answer this. Will you ever forgive me?" She waited for a few seconds and then sighed in defeat. "I'll go, but we want to see you again. We really are sorry for leaving you." Then she was gone.
It was her fault. It was all of them. Why couldn't they leave me alone?
"Bella! Bella honey, wake up!" Cam's voice called to me urgently. I groaned a tried to pull away but his grasp was unusually strong. Probably because I was so weak.
"What's wrong with mommy?" Masen shrieked.
"Jess get him out of here!" Cam shouted, his arms wrapped around me and I tried to push away, shaking my head
"H-he….NO!" I collapsed into Cam's chest sobbing uncontrollably. Because even though I'd tried so hard to erase him from my life. Part of me was still in love with Edward.
"Bella! What's wrong?" Cam's arms wrapped around me and his hands ran through my hair.
"I-I...I wanna go home! Please…just…" I screamed and gripped my head shaking in his arms. "Please…"
"You want to see the baby?" Cam asked after a few minutes of holding me on the bed. I nodded and turned my head so my ear was leaning against his chest, listening to his heart beat.
"But I don't want you to leave." I murmured.
"I won't." he whispered kissing the top of my head and lying on the bed with me just holding me close.
A few days later.
"Okay, everybody in the car." Cam said lifted the baby's car seat into the back, behind the drivers seat and strapping her in. I sat next to her and pulled Masen next to me.
"Mommy, I don't like sitting on the right side!" Masen whined
"Well your sisters sitting on the other side so just sit here for today?" I asked
"You know what?" Masen asked me swinging his feet over the edge of the chair.
"What?" I went along.
"I didn't like the way that hospital made me feel. I don't think Re-Re did either." Since Masen could say Renessmee even though Cam wrote it out on a piece of paper and they went over every letter together. Masen had just decided to create a nickname. But he was still working on it.
"No, she must not of. She cried all night." I agreed.
"Yeah," Masen's attention drifted from the conversation as Cam started the minivan and the TV came on.
"Let's get you guys home." Cam said smiling back at us.
Edward POV
I watched as they left the hospital following along at a distance. I'd been watching her from a distance for awhile now. It broke my heart to know she hated me and that it was completely my fault. And I had no idea how to make the situation any better without hurting her again. She had a family, taking that away from her, or even trying, was selfish.
But I was a person- technically - I could be selfish. And I wanted Bella.
They were driving along a side road that was built right between two small hills. Trees blocked any good view from below, so I climbed halfway up and turned to watch them. Then I saw a flash of red. A smell of vampires overwhelmed me. I took my phone out to call Carlisle but he and the rest of my family were already there.
"We smelled them from the house, their everywhere. What I want to know is why they're here." Carlisle told me. I looked hard at the young vampires, hoping, wishing I hadn't seen what'd I just saw. Tanya, with Victoria. I growled and lunged forward sprinting for them.
"Edward!" Carlisle called after me but I ignored him, how could she?
Before I could reach the pair, Victoria jumped from the opposite hill down into the road. Right in front of the minivan, Bella's boyfriend or husband whatever he was saw her a second before she landed and tried to swerve around her but she grabbed the car, crushing the right side and throwing it off the road, up the hill, it reached to top the rolled over the other side. The man fell out the car and laid on the ground unmoving. The vampires were instantly upon him.
I was too busy to register that fact that he was fighting back.
I took the last few steps between us but right before I was able to make contact with her a wave of blood-thirsty vampires hit me. I jumped back and turned to look for help from my family. But the vampires had reached them too, this had been Victoria's plan all along. To stall us so we couldn't save Bella.
Dammit!
Bella POV
One second we were driving on the road then the next we were flipped over a horrible crunching sound coming from Masen's side of the car. We flew through the air and I felt the car rolling crushing us inside it. When it finally stopped everything was silent.
"Mommy!" Masen screamed reaching for me, I reached for his seatbelt and unbuckled it turning him so he was sitting upright. I turned to undo mine but the car started to move again. I screamed and reached for Masen holding him tight. The car flew through the air and when we landed again all the windows smashed open.
"I wanna get out! I wanna get out!" Masen screamed thrashing in my grasp
"We're going honey! It's okay, I have you it's okay!" I tried to calm him, but I was hysterical myself. "Cam!" I called out to him, but he wasn't in the drivers seat. "Cam!" I pulled at my seat belt but it was held fast on something, I was stuck. "Okay, Masen you need to listen to me okay?" He whimpered and shook his head holding on to my neck. "Yes honey. For me. I need you to crawl out through the window okay? Get away from the car, go find your father. I need you to do that for me."
"I can't! I'm scared!" He cried, sobbing into my shoulder.
"I know honey, I know. I'm scared too, but you need to be strong for me. You need to be strong for mommy. Okay?" He nodded and moved slowly for the window and climbed slowly through the broken window. When he was out he turned back kneeling to see me in the car.
"Mommy?" he asked looking confused "Aren't you coming out with me?"
"I can't honey, but go find you father." I whispered brokenly, bracing my hands against the hood of the car as I was pushed down further. Being upside down for so long was getting to my head.
"No!" I wanna stay here!" Masen started to crawl back into the car, not knowing the danger.
"Masen! Stay out there! STAY!" I shouted, he looked hurt but he stayed out and I sighed in relief. Then I went back to work on my seatbelt. Renessmee whimpered, and I winced.
"I know baby, mommy's coming, just hold on, mommy's coming." The seatbelt was definetly stuck. I reached for Renessmee's belt but it was too complex for my foggy eyes to figure out. "No, no, please, not my baby…" I whimpered to nobody.
"Bella!" Cam. Cam was okay.
'Cam! Cam help!" I screamed
"I'm coming!" He told me, I heard running feet then he was at Renessmee's window reaching for her and undoing her straps. He pulled her from the wrecked car and held her in his arm reaching for me.
"I can't Cam, I'm stuck!" I gasped.
"No! No you can't be stuck. Please Bella, no…."
"What? What's happeneing? Cam! I'm scared!" I freaked and pulled against the seatbelt. I looked past Cam and saw I was looking down a steep hill, at the bottom was a lake. Suddenly the car started to slide and I screamed reaching for Cam.
"Cam! No! HELP ME!" The car started to turn as it slid, gaining a little speed.
"Give her to me." Alice was there, taking Renessmee. Cam handed her over and pulled part of himself into the car with me. He opened the arm rest and searched frantically for something.
"C'mon!" he shouted frustrated, we were gaining more speed sliding along the roof of the car down the speed. Cam's hand came back out of the arm rest with a pocket knife and he flipped open the largest knife and began to saw off my seatbelt.
He cut through half of it.
Was almost there.
Then we hit the water.
He was instantly sucked out of the car and I screamed reaching for him but water filled my mouth choking me. Filled the car. I was drowning, trapped in the car. I struggled against the seatbelt trying the break the rest of it so I could get out. The car was sinking further every second, getting darker and colder.
I lost all feeling in my body, everything was black. I didn't want to die this way. I couldn't die this way. Suddenly strong arms wripped the seat belt off of me and dragged me out of the car. My air supply was completely done and I started to black out. But that darkness wouldn't be much different from the one I was in now.
I looked up and saw the sun, but it looked miles away. We weren't going to make it, but with one powerful kick my saviour was up over the surface and we were on land. I gasped for air and collapsed onto the ground sobbing. The person kept dragging me, pulling me to my feel and away from the water. I looked up at them and screamed, Victoria. She looked down at me and smirked. "I wouldn't let you die that way. I want to see the look in your eyes when I kill you."
"No! Let me go!" I shouted at her smashing my hand against her face. But it had no effect on her, I frantically looked from something, anything to save me from this fate. Blood, the water had washed away all the blood from my injuries before but now it was coming back. I shook my sleeve down so my arm was exposed and thrust the bleeding mass into her face.
The evil goddess was so surprised her arms slacked around my waist and I was able to pull away running back up the hill. She hissed and ran after me. I screamed and looked for help. "Cam!"
Then he was there, running down the hill. The Cullen's close behind him. But Victoria was faster her arms wrapped around me and pulled me back and away. "Stop them!" she shouted to a small group of vampires that'd joined her, I was too scared to even care. What was happening?
"No! Cam, somebody!" Victoria's arm snaked around my neck cutting off my air. I struggled to breathe and dragged my feet in the dirt trying to slow myself down. Then we were flying through the air, Victoria released me and I fell to the ground, lying stunned. I laid on the ground suddenly exhausted. The adrenaline wore off and the pain from all my injuries hit me so hard it was a challenge to stay conscious.
I pushed myself to my knees and looked around. Masen was standing close to me but he was looking at Victoria who was dangling in the air thrashing around trying to overcome Masen's power. Suddenly Masen screamed and Victoria fell, landing on her feet. I turned to see Tanya holding Masen and I cursed for not thinking to throw a shield around Masen. Tanya stared at Masen with wide eyes. Tanya's mother was killed by a vampire child. Edwards words came back to me and I gasped trying to stand up, but only succeeded in falling back to the ground with a cry of pain. I heard Victoria coming up behind me a threw up a shield just in time.
She slammed into it and shrieked in pain when it shocked her. "Kill the boy!" she shouted to Tanya who's hands instantly moved around Masen's neck.
"NO! PLEASE!" I shouted taking down my shield. "I give…just please, don't!" I raised my hands in surrender and Victoria stared at me warily looking for a sign of a trick before moving to grab my arm. But Tanya still held Masen, I couldn't attack her without hurting Masen too, they were too close. There was nothing I could do.
I looked for the rest of my family and saw Cam fending off a vampire with Renessmee in his arms. Cam was…fighting a vampire? What was going on? He slipped and fell, Renessmee falling out of his arms. The vampire's attention was diverted to it's chance at fresh blood but before he could touch her I threw up a shield around Renessmee. Masen picked her up and brought her to my arms. "It's okay baby." I rocked her in my one free arm.
"You," I turned as much as I could to look at Victoria but she was talking to another vampire. She signalled to something and before I could turn around I felt Renessmee being ripped from my arm.
"NO!" I screamed and tried to reach for her but both my arms were pinned by another vampire. Victoria was standing in front of us, smirking. "Why are you doing this?" I cried and her smirked turned to full on laughs.
"Because you deserve it." Then she turned and ran, and all the other vampires saw the retreat and pulled back from the fight with the Cullen's and Cam. I looked back and caught one last glimpse of the distraught group as they watched us being carried away. Then we plunged into the woods and were going to fast for me to comprehend anything anymore.
