Chapter 4: You Did WHAT?

BPOV

I charged into the clearing on the south side of the house, about 75 feet from the actual building. Wonderful. If they could see this far out, they would be able to see what was going down through the glass wall.

My musings were interrupted when a figure burst through the trees, knocking me to the ground. Victoria. I heard a faint series of gasps, which told me that they had in fact, heard and were planning to intervene. I concentrated, and they froze in place. Perfect. I had the ability to freeze my family in place, but I wished I could use it on enemies as well. Especially when they were pinning me to the ground. I used my knees to push her off of me and rolled us over, so I had the upper hand.

She reached up and gripped my hair in her fist, using it to hurl me face-first into a nearby Douglass Fir. I may have new powers, but that didn't make me a brilliant fighter in any way, shape, or form. She twisted my left arm behind my back at an angle nothing should be able to bend, using the extra leverage to literally burrow my face into the bark. If felt like sandpaper being scraped along my skin. It made me idly wonder why He hadn't made me indestructible, like the Cullens.

All of a sudden, pain screamed through my body, starting at my left shoulder. It was even worse than my transformation. I heard a shrill voice screaming in pain, then I realized that it was me. She had ripped my arm from the socket and it was now whistling through the air towards the house.

I snarled as rage filled me, fueling my energy. I whipped around and threw my body on top of hers, knocking her to the ground. I knew lacking an arm would make this harder the longer I prolonged, so I just bit the bullet, so to speak. I snapped my teeth across her neck, the tendons standing out with the exertion of her thrashing. There was that horrible sound of shredding metal, then it was over. My senses were telling me that there was still a threat in the area, but they shut up as the fire devoured her dissembled body.

I ran a perimeter of the house, ascertaining its safety, as well as that of those inside. I removed my hold on the Cullens so they could move again. They must have been so confused, not knowing why they couldn't move.

As soon as I let up, I heard someone shout, "Emmett! You idiot!" and a hiss followed by a series of little pops. A smell filtered through the air, permeating it with the scent of burnt… me.

I sprinted back to the house and ducked through the giant hole in the glass wall, probably put there by my severed arm. Everyone was standing in a semi-circle around Emmett, but when they heard me come in, they spun around to face me.

They gasped as their eyes zeroed in on my left shoulder/arm socket area. "Bella," Edward gasped, his eyes wide with horror.

I held his hands in my right as I said, "I'm fine, it just stings a little bit. I'll be better when I fuse my arm back on. So where did it end up landing?"

They all exchanged uneasy glances before turning their stares on Emmett. Edward spoke up, his voice unusually harsh. "You wanna tell her, Em?"

"Tell me what?" I asked curiously. Why was Edward being so weird? Was it his time of the month? Wait, never mind, vampires couldn't get their periods. (A/N: note that I didn't say "men couldn't get periods", I said, "vampires couldn't get periods" just a little fun at Edward's somewhat manly expense. LMFAO)

Emmett began stuttering and I knew I wasn't going to like his answer. He was normally so carefree, if he was this troubled, it must have been bad. "Well, ya see, Bells, I could have maybe, possibly, thrown your arm in the fire." His voice got smaller the more he said and by the end, I was straining to hear him.

"Wait, what? Could you repeat yourself please? I think my brain just died for a sec there." I asked incredulously, fury beginning to seep in slowly. "I could have sworn for a second there that you said you threw my arm into the fire."

He was clearly uncomfortable as he said, "You would be right, cause I did." while staring at the floor, not meeting my eyes.

I had been trying to control my temper, but before I knew it, I blew up. "WHAT? You did WHAT with my arm? Did you take even a nanosecond to, oh, I don't know, SMELL IT? It was a part of my freakin body!"

"I'm sorry, Bells. I really am…" he trailed off, finally meeting my eyes. I could see the sincerity in them, making it impossible to stay mad at him.

I sighed heavily, wiping my right hand across my face, wincing when it pulled at the skin pulled loose by the bark. "Well, you're lucky I can grow it back, I'll tell you that right now. But I'd better get started, cause it takes forever, is extremely painful, and it takes a lot out of me. I don't want to leave you guys unprotected for any longer then purely necessary."

I turned towards the stairs before I heard Esme's soft, sweet, lilting voice. "Thank you, Bella. Our angel." I simply nodded my head, too weak for much anything else.

"Love?" Edward asked cautiously, putting his hand on my right wrist. "Do you want me to come and stay with you?"

I shook my head desperately, ignoring the pain that tore through my body and whispered, "No… can't…. you'll…too much… pain…" I couldn't say it right, but I didn't want him to have to suffer like I would. He'd been through more than his fair share of turmoil in his life.

I flew up the stairs, too drained to walk, and headed to Edward's room, and his plush black couch.

Ta-daa! *waves hands frantically in a jazzy manner* Sooooooo… Should I get my schmexy vampire to protect me from your angry mobs, or have I evaded them this time? Tell me in a review, cause believe it or not, even one does make me feel good… I'd just like to get more to feel even better!
