Authors note: Hey guys! I have gotten a lot of great reviews so thanks! I have also gotten a really mean one, and it wasn't that helpful (it did have point sin it, but it was mostly just bashing me) so im putting up a NO FLAMES sign. Seriously. If you didn't enjoy the story, im sorry you didn't, if there is something specific you think could help me, cool then review, but as for bashing, no thank you. Once again NO FLAMES! Also (so you all know) when I finish the story, or don't feel like writing a new chapter, I am going to fix up the first chapter so it goes from subject to subject a bit smoother. Thanks ENJOY!
Ch. 4: I wont kill Jacob!
Bella's P.O.V.
I couldn't sleep that night. I was full of pain, and confusion. I knew it wasn't Emmett's fault, and he couldn't control it, but, needless to say, I was still very afraid around him, I didn't want something like that happening again.
Edward was still sitting next to me in his huge bed in the middle of the room. He knew I wasn't sleeping.
"Bella" he whispered "go to sleep, its all going to be ok."
I didn't answer. I knew he was there to protect me, and now nothing could happen, but if I fell asleep again, I kept thinking something could happen. What other tricks to these Vampiars have up their sleeve. Why do they want to kill me so bad?
Why would they think I would become a werewolf anyway. I loved Jacob, but I would never ask to become a werewolf. It seemed like a lot of work and pain, and then I wouldn't be able to be with Edward.
It's painful to think about it.
"Bella, what's wrong?" Edward asked, but im sure he already knew my answer
"Edward," I said softly "I'm frightened, and confused. And that's all there is." I stated
"You know we wont let anything happen to you again Bells. Now that we know what they're thinking, and their weak points, it won't be to hard to defeat them!" Edward said with encouragment.
"I know Edward. Its not that I know you all won't protect me, but it doesn't erase memories. And besides, I feel so awful that all this grief is because of me."
"Its not all because of you Bella. We are all happy to have you in this family, even Rosalie, so don't think because of this one little mess, that we aren't happy to have you in our lives, because that's completely opposite of how we feel."
I smiled at him. He always knew what to say, but once again, it doesn't erase the memory and the fear completely. As long as I was in his arms though, I was ok.. I drifted off to sleep.
Carlisle's P.O.V.
I knocked on Emmett's bedroom door. Rosalie was back in her own bed. Emmett was sitting on his bed, head in his hands. I came and sat down next to him.
"Emmett" I started "It wasn't your fault, it was all a potion and"
He cut me off "I know, it was some stupid potion, but now she will never forgive me. I will never forgive me. I saw it all happening. It was truly awful."
Silence again. "Emmett, we need you back at the top of your game. Without you we aren't complete. Don't let them beat you! This is just what they want! harness your anger and use it against them. We need you."
He looked at me. I saw the pain in his eyes, but I also saw anger. Eventually, I saw him have a total change of heart. I think he really did find a way to harness his anger so that he could defeat the other vampires.
"Your right Carlisle. Lets get up and do something about it!" Emmett jumped off the bed in anticipation
"For right now" I started "we are thinking of strategies, why not go over some with Rosalie?"
Emmett nodded and went to go find Rosalie. I left to go do some reading on middle age magic as well as how to overcome potions.
Bella's P.O.V.
I woke up in the middle of the night. Edward was still next to me.
"Edward." I started "I need to go for a walk, would you like to come?"
"Bells its 3 in the morning, what if something happens, I don't think it's a good idea."
"That's why you should come with me." I stated happily.
He agreed without too much of a fight. We walked out of the house with no one seeing us and we sat on the steps outside. It was chilly, but not enough to make me go back in. I wanted to go into the forrest, but I was sure Edward would say no.
"I have an idea." I stated "what if I was used, as some sort of distraction, then you, Emmet, Jasper, Rosalie, and Alice could rip them to shreds. They will be too busy trying to come after me, they wont see it coming."
Edward laughed at my idea. I was a bit insulted.
"What if they end up ACTUALLY ripping you to shreds, then what?"
"Well they wont be able to, because Carlisle could be there protecting me. Maybe using some of their own ideas against them. He could use potions, or whatever it is they do. It could work Edward."
At that very moment Alice came running outside. "It WILL work Edward!"
"Were you listening to our conversation again Alice?" Edward said annoyed.
Alice looked extreamly embarrassed. "No Edward! I saw it in a vision, from what I saw, we were totally beating them! They barly even put up a fight!"
"I don't like the idea of Bella on the battlefield." Edward said, looking back to me.
"Edward, I've done your family enough harm, its time to let me pay you back."
At that very moment, I felt a little bit better about this whole situation. Of course as soon as I start to feel comfortable here comes another problem. It looked like a group of Vampiers coming out of the woods. Why would they fallow us here? And how did they do so?
Alice and Edward sprung up and into action. They shouted at me to go inside, and I was about to do so, until the leading vampire specifically spoke to me. "Bella!" The oldest, male vampier yelled, "we need to talk."
"You don't get to talk to her." Edward said, growling at them.
"There will be no harm done to her" he started "yet."
"What do you want with her?" Alice said angerly.
"We want her to give us the whereabouts of her Wolf friends. If you all agree to help us kill them off, there will be no more threat, and would no longer have to destroy the girl." He said
"I will never say a word about Jacob!" I yelled at him.
All eyes were on me. I knew I shouldn't have spoken, but I couldn't believe me ears. They wanted me to kill Jacob, my best friend, that would never happen!
"Its either you, Bella, or your wolf friends. You can decide. We are giving you till tomorrow night. Midnight, at the field."
They zoomed right out of site, leaving us all in their dust. I was stunned.
"It may be our only chance" Edward started "We may not have a choice Bella."
I was full of tears and heartache. "I'm never going to kill Jacob, Edward, or any of them."
I ran back into the house. I knew then that I wasn't going to get any sleep tonight.
