Chapter 3

BPOV

Anger

White hot searing anger

It pulsed through me, going through my long dead veins.

It drove me to the place I needed to be, the place where my anger could be quenched.

Who knew that anger could be so useful?

^O^

I stood, watching the murky sea in the distance. One step. Just one and everything would be much better.

My family would be angry of course, furious in fact but if they were in my position they would do the exact same thing.

Seeing Edward lying in that hospital because of the temper of an adolescent wolf was painful. Every time I closed my eyes that was all I could see.

The wolf needed to die.

I wasn't used to having so much anger in me. This must be what Rosalie feels like. Being changed right after her rape, filled with anger and resentment at the men that touched her. I don't know how she gets through every day. But then I do.

Emmett.

She loves him, would do anything for him, he's the thing that makes her get through the long days because if she ever left him it would be the worst thing that could ever happen to Emmett.

But I don't have Edward here to diffuse my anger. No, he's in hospital bed in Forks and the reason he's there would soon be lying dead in his own blood.

I lifted my foot, about to place it over the treaty line when I was knocked over by a flurry of black spiky hair.

Alice.

I landed on the floor with a loud 'thud' that resonated through the forest. I brought my head up and growled at her, baring my teeth in a menacing manner. She simply rolled her eyes at me and stood up, graceful as ever.

"Why did you stop me?" I screeched, while standing up, my body was tense as if waiting for a fight to happen, even though it would between me and my sister.

"You're letting your emotions cloud your judgement Bella," Alice stated, her voice full of authority and so unlike her usual light and fluffy one.

"So what?" I growled. "If Jasper was attacked would you do nothing about it? Would you let his attacker run free?" I asked, my voice hard. She grimaced before looking down at the ground.

I gave a humour-less laugh "Exactly," I said, about to run over the treaty line when her voice stopped me.

"Please don't do this Bella." I looked over my shoulder to see her giving me a pleading look and I almost, almost conceded.

"I have to Alice," I said in an emotionless voice before taking off and running over the treaty line before she could stop me.

^O^

I couldn't deny it. La Push was beautiful.

From a human's perspective all you would be able to see is sand and water, but a vampire would be able to truly see the beauty of the beach. I could see every single rock in the sand, all the tiny rubies and emeralds that wouldn't be seen with the naked eye.

It truly was a beautiful place.

I almost felt bad that I had to taint it with murder.

I knew that the wolves would be coming for me; it was only a matter of time. They would be alerted to my scent and would then transform, intent on 'showing me a lesson for trespassing on their land' having no idea that it would be me doing all the teaching.

In the distance a howl sounded. They were coming.

I blocked out all noise. There wasn't anything else in the world. I lifted my head to the sky and smiled, and then the immediately dropped and turned into a snarl as the stench of dog filled my nose.

I heard them, right behind me, they came to a stop. I turned around to face them, snarl still in place. There were 3 of them but only two of them were in their wolf form. The one still in human form was standing in between the two wolves. He had a look of disgust and barely concealed rage on his face. This must be the Alpha...

"What are you doing on our lands, bloodsucker?" He asked in a calm voice, though there was an under laying layer of hate.

I could feel the anger pulsing through me. He clearly thought that I was in the wrong. That I was still the bad guy. What a fucking hypocrite.

"How do you live with yourself?" I asked, a growl building up in my chest. His brows furrowed as his face contorted in confusion before going back to his hate filled glare.

"What are you on about, bloodsucker?" he asked in a sniping voice. He looked over me in a calculating manner, the brown and sliver wolves beside him doing the same, probably thinking of whether they could take me and come out of it uninjured. I'll make sure you don't.

"You Quileute wolves and your self-righteous attitude, spewing words about how my family is an abomination; that we're the mistake that should have never happened when you and your wolves are the true monsters!" I shouted, letting the growl escape from my chest.

It was deathly silent for a minute before the sounds of snarling erupted. I could see the alpha shaking, the wolves beside him growling menacingly look like the only thing stopping them from lunging at me was their alpha.

"How dare you," Sam began in a low chilling voice. "How are you speak of us in that way, for that bloodsucker we shall give you a slow and painful death."

"And Edward Swan?" I shouted. "Would he have gotten a slow and painful death or would you have killed him quickly and swiftly?" my voice rose in pitch until I was screaming my words at him.

The alpha's face flickered with fear for a second before it was gone in the next.

"I don't know what you're talking about," he spoke, his voice betraying his confidence. "The human has nothing to do with this."

I gave a bitter laugh, "He has everything to do with this," I snarled. His face may have been stoic but his eyes showed confusion. "He is my mate," I whispered, waiting for the words to sink in.

I could tell when they had for the wolves ceased their snarling and took a step back, the alphas face held fear, his face –if possible- going pale and his eyes widening.

"Impossible..." he whispered in shock.

I smiled at him and it was a true hate filled smile. "Very possible," I sneered. "Enough! We have spent enough time talking when you should be lying dead, let us finish this.

The alpha was by now showing his fear, the wolves looking up at him, clearly asking what to do. They could obviously see the determined look I had in me, the determination to see them dead and they knew that they were going to die.

I took a step toward the brown wolf on the side, about to break one of his legs when a velvet head stopped me.

"Bella don't," It whispered. I turned, looking for where the voice came from, already knowing that it was Edward but wondering how could have spoken to me.

"Please don't, you'll regret it," the voice spoke.

"I won't," I said with determination, not caring from where the voice came from but enjoying it.

"You will. Please don't, for me."

I sighed, knowing that he was right. I would regret it. Maybe not at first but eventually I would. I couldn't destroy the treaty that my family had already worked so hard to get. No matter how much I loved Edward.

I sighed, looking at the beings in front of me. "I will spare you, but know this, if you attack my mate again I will kill you. Without any hesitation," I promised.

The alpha nodded, relief flowing over him. I sent a glare to the 2 wolves beside him before running and leaving the beach and La Push.

^O^

The automatic doors opened, leading me straight to the hospital lobby. It was empty save for one middle aged woman, a receptionist and Carlisle. He was pacing the lobby, going slightly faster than a human could but the receptionist and women weren't focusing on him.

As soon as he heard the doors close he looked up at me and gave me a smile, his body losing its tension.

"Bella, thank god. Alice told us about what happened; I was so-"

I put a hand up to stop, giving my head a little shake. He frowned, clearly confused by my actions but stopped speaking.

"Where's the rest of the family?" I asked in a no nonsense tone. Carlisle's frowned deepened.

"They're at home waiting for you, I thought it best to wait for you..." he trailed off seeing the smile on my face.

"Good, can you go and join them? I want to see Edward," I said, leveling him with an even stare.

"Bella I'm not so sure..." he began, "Is it really best for you to see him after everything that's happened today and the visiting hours are almost over." I looked over to the clock realizing that it was almost 8:00.

I sighed, my eyes on the floor before dragging up to meet Carlisle's apologetic gaze, "Carlisle, I would never deny you access to see Esme so please do not deny me access to see Edward."

The frown was back on his face. I could see him contemplating on whether he should let me see him. Not that it would matter. Even he wouldn't be able to stop me if I wanted to see Edward.

He finally sighed before saying a whispered 'Okay' and then leaving, telling me that the family would be waiting for me. I merely nodded and went to room 101, to see my Edward.

^O^

He still wasn't awake.

When I sat down he didn't wake, when I spoke his name he didn't wake, even when I grabbed his hand and held it he didn't wake. It was like he was so far deep into himself that he couldn't find his way back.

I needed him to find his way back.

A vampire without their mate was...nothing. They would be a walking zombie, all the life gone from their eyes, being in a permanent coma where all you can feel is the pain; the pain of losing the one person that makes your existence worthwhile.

I entertained the thought that maybe Edward would be better off without me but then banish it away. If he loves me as much as I love him then he'll need me with him. No, scratch that I need me with him.

Still holding his limp hand I sighed. It wasn't supposed to be like this.

I should've come to Forks, enrolled at the high school, become friends with Edward, enable our mate connection and –although this is cliché- live happily ever after. For eternity.

I'd waited so long for my mate only to almost lose him before I'd had him. It just wasn't fair.

I brought his mouth to my lips and brushed my lips against it. How I wished it was his lips.

"When you wake up, things will be better, I promise." I whispered. "I'll protect you against anything and everything, you'll be safe." My face grew more determined as I spoke. "I'll love you like no other, not even the gods could stop me from loving you." It was the truth. What happened today had shown me that Edward was human, that he was fragile and could get hurt. Whether intentional or not, it does happen.

I placed his hand back at his side as I stood up. The heart rate monitor beeping in the background as I kissed his forehead, my lips lingering a bit. I walked away from his bed, hating that I had to be parted from him whilst he was in this state but knowing that it was only for a little while.

I had to talk to my family first and suffer through the wrath of Rosalie. May the gods help me.

^O^

Underneath a castle, in a throne room, three brothers sat. Their leader with a look of glee on his face as he listened to the information being told to him.

"Well this is truly splendid Eleazer, though are you certain that you cannot tell exactly what power he possesses?"

"I am certain, my lord," Eleazer replied, his head bowing slightly.

"Right then, you may leave," Aro told him, his cunning mind already devising a plan. He hardly acknowledged Eleazer leaving as his attention was drawn to his brother who scoffed at his brother's excitement.

"Something wrong Caius?" Aro asked in a sickly sweet voice. Caius turned to glare at Aro.

"It is just a boy. A human boy; we could be wasting our time with this interest you have in him," Caius sneered.

"Time that we have plenty of, brother," Aro replied, his voice still in that voice of his. "He might be a good addition to the guard, Eleazer may not be able to tell what his talent is but I can tell that it will be great."

Aro was lost in thoughts after that, missing the eye roll that Caius gave him.

It wasn't everyday that a potential member of his guard excited Aro. No, this Edward Swan was something special.

Very special.

Uh oh, looks like The Volturi are gonna get involved :O Now I know what you're all thinking: When will Edward and Bella get a moment of peace?

The answer is..never! Mwa ha ha!

Nah I'm kidding, but we gotta get through all the bad stuff before the good comes. Hopefully a few fluffy chapters will appear as well, we'll see :)

There's no update schedule, I just update when I feel like it or when I'm not feeling very lazy (which is hardly ever but oh well) so yeah.

Next chapter will be an EPOV and we'll get inside Edward's head for a bit, might do a bit more Volturi and even an APOV, you'll just have to wait and see. Bye for now :')
