Chapter 7: Stella's POV

Everyone stared at us in shock, but none were as surprised as Jacob and Rosalie. Jacob rushed forward, trying to pry Nessie away from me.

"Jacob! Stop!" Nessie yelled. "Put me down!" He had pried her away. I wasn't able to fight because Rose pulled my hair and hand, pulling me back. Bad move, Blondie. I was sucked into the darkness of the bloodlust.

"Rose. Don't!" I yelled. The second Stella was pulled into bloodlust, her choices weren't hers, and Ness was in danger.

But she continued to surprise me. The second she was pulled in and was pulled to the pulled to the blood, she stopped. She looked at Nessie and their eyes locked. The black retreated from her eyes the slightest bit and she gave a small quick nod.

Rose charged up to her and grabbed her arm, trying to throw her to the ground. Stella flipped in the air and landed on her feet, lethal as a cat. She was crouched down, one leg bent and the other let out. She flicked her head up, her eyes wild. But I detected no thirst in her. Only pure anger.

She had Rose pinned to the ground in half a second.

"You mess with me again Blondie, and I can guarantee that I sure as hell won't be so generous. Consider yourself lucky." She spat out venomously. She slowly got up and took a few deep breaths. Her eyes slowly returned to normal and the bloodlust subsided.

She slowly turned to Nessie and took a deep breath. Ness ran towards Stella and leaped into her arms.

"Oh my god. Never, have I ever, been so happy to have not hunted in my life!" Stella said. I laughed along with the two of them.

The second Stella put Nessie down I pulled her into my arms.

"You did it!" I yelled. She pulled back slightly to look at my face.

"I know!" She yelled back.

"I'm so proud of you." I whispered in her ear. And it was true. Stella and I had been working on her bloodlust for years. She had only done that once by accident and I was worried that after our time apart, she wouldn't be able to do it again.

"Okay. Can someone fill me in here?!" Emmett yelled.

"Stella lost control, but gained it back enough not to hurt Nessie." Carlisle responded. I could tell how proud and relieved he was. He loved Stella like a daughter, yet knew the dangers that she held.

"If y'all are gonna be all mushy then we're out of here." I turned around to find Peter and Charlotte holding Stella's bags. I was not very happy with them taking Stella away from me, but we would have to deal with that later.

"I think we should call a family meeting to discuss certain things." Esme said. Her tone was not pleasing and I could tell she was feeling disappointed. "Peter, Charlotte. Please join us." She turned on her heel and walked into the dining room. The rest of us had no choice but to follow.

We walked into the dining room and sat at the table. I looked at all of the Cullen kids and they all had their heads down, like 5-year-olds who were caught doing something bad. Well, with the exception of Rosalie. She was giving me the death glare. Any normal vampire would have been terrified, but not me. I was used to getting this stuff 10-fold everyday. I gave her my easy glare (not wanting to scare her too much), and she whimpered, lowering herself into her chair. I smiled at her and heard Jazz chuckling beside me.

"Nice one." He whispered into my ear. I shivered at how close he was. He chuckled again and pulled away. I glared at him before crossing my arms over my chest. That boy would never know the effect he had on me.

Esme stood up suddenly, and spoke directly to Rose. "Get your act together or get out." Everyone gasped. Rose glared at me.

"This is all your fault…" She continued cursing me out. I sat there smirking at her until she said the one thing that sets me off- "you always ruin everything!" The smile left my face and I let the anger take over, standing up. The guys stood up with me, eyes furious.

"Now you listen here Rosie." I spat out. Her glare faltered for a second and I knew I had gotten into her mind. I scanned and gave out a chuckle. "You think you're the master assassin, huh? I can't imagine what you went through that night. And you actually believed Royce loved you. What a shame." I said, stepping around the table to get closer. I could tell she was scared. "It's funny. Because after all that, you'd still rather be with that jerk instead of Emmett. As long as you're human, right, Rosie?" I was right in her face now. I towered over and kept my hands clasped behind my back. I heard Emmett gasp behind me.

"Rose?" He said, his voice shaking.

"How did you know all that?" She said, ignoring Emmett. Her body was shaking in fear. I smirked.

"Never should've messed with me Rosie. I can kill you in ways you couldn't even imagine."

"I don't believe you." She croaked out.

"Really? You don't believe me? You don't believe that you wished Bella had died so you could have the baby for yourself? You don't believe that you hate Carlisle everyday because you think he should have left you dead instead of a second chance? You don't believe that you only saved Emmett because he looked like little Henry? You don't believe that-"

"STOP!" she yelled, interrupting me. She fell to the floor gripping her hair. She pulled her knees to her chest and started to rock back and forth. I let the security blanket surrounding me go and spread it around the room. Everybody froze. She looked around at them- from the family frozen in shock to Peter and Charlotte smirking at the scene before them to Emmett frozen mid-sob. I knelt down to her level, grabbing her chin in my hand, forcing her to look me in the eye. She trembled at my touch.

"I can do this quick, I can go slow. But to be honest, I really don't want to do this at all. Believe it or not, those people care about you. So open your eyes, or we're going to have to do this again. Understood?" She just nodded her head at me. I jerked my hand away and stood up abruptly. "I asked you a question." I spat out venomously.

"Understood." She squeaked.

I looked around at the people surrounding me. I would have a lot of explaining to do one I let them in.
