Hey
Hey! Okay, I know I said I'd have the fight in the last chapter, but I had issues. Editing took forever 'cus the spacebar wouldn't work, and then the internet didn't work. So I had to post the last chapter this morning. ANYHOOO this IS the Fight Scene.
It will be good! I just don't want too much hate on the outcomes.
ENJOY!! (And I really mean that!)

Edward POV
I heard Bella answer the door, Jacob yell at her, but then I heard him punch her. And from her cry of pain, I could only assume he had punched over the bruise on her ribs.
The pure rage and loathing boiled up inside me, and this time I let it take its release. He was starting to yell something else, but he didn't get a chance to finish. I ran down the stairs, using my momentum to throw him backwards into the yard.
"Cullen," He growled at me, rage dripping from every word. My rage topped his by a wide margin.
"Well, dog, it'll be ever so fun to kill you." My hands were clenched into fists, ready for the fight I had been ready to win since I saw Alice's vision. I looked toward Bella, her small form curled into a ball. She was looking at Jacob with eyes filled to the brim with terror. I could see she was afraid he would hurt her even more.
"Bella, go inside. I don't want you to get hurt."
She just nodded her head, but she stayed where she was. I sighed. He had frozen her in fear.
"Jacob, meet me in the woods in 1 minute. I believe I have a werewolf to kill." He snorted in response to that, and I glared until he left.
Ii turned to Bella, picked her up, and carried her inside.

Bella POV
I was absolutely terrified. I knew, even as a werewolf, Jacob would be weaker than Edward. But I still didn't want him to avenge me if it meant him getting hurt. I tried to tell him not to go, but my lips wouldn't move.
"Bella? Love, what's wrong?"
I stared at him, willing myself to speak.
"I don't want you to go. I don't know what I'll do if you get hurt. I know you're strong, but so is he! I can't lose you again…" I started to cry silently, and he wrapped his arms around me.
"I'll be right back. I promise." With that, he kissed my hair and left.
I curled back up on the sofa, willing myself to believe him.

Edward POV
I didn't like having to leave her again, especially when she had that broken look in her eyes. I vowed to her, and myself, that I would come back safely.
"So, the leech decided to show up. I thought you were backing out. It would have b-"
Once again, I didn't let him finish. But this time I had punched him. He staggered back, shocked. Obviously he knew I was strong, but he hadn't realized I was THAT strong.
"You hurt the love of my existence. And as much as I would love for you to die this instance, I think you deserve to suffer. And boy, will you suffer."
I saw his eyes widen slightly in fear, and watched in amusement as he attempted to mask it with fierceness. He failed.
He stepped into a crouch and I copied his movement. A snarl built deep in my chest, sickened as he began thinking of all the times he had raped my Bella. All the times he had beat her. He showed me images of her crying, screaming in pain.
He smirked, and I roared in fury. I lunged at him, grabbing by the throat. Now he looked scared. I threw him hard against a tree, grinning maliciously when it snapped in half. I watched as he stood, pleased to see he had a broken arm. He growled, running at me.
I dodged his attack, grabbing his broken arm as he flew past. I hurled him at another tree. This time he didn't mask his pain. He screamed aloud, clutching his shoulder. He stayed on the ground for one vital (to him) second too long. This gave me the chance to approach him, stomping down on his foot, listening to the snap. Jacob was starting to look more and more scared. And I knew he deserved it. I thought of the bruise on Bella's ribs, the look on her face when I came through her window, the look of fear in her eyes after Jacob had yelled at her. I stepped toward him, ready to do my duty.

Bella POV
I sat on the couch rocking back and forth trying not to worry. 'He'll be fine. He's stronger than Jacob. He's faster.' I told myself this repetitively. I tried to breathe evenly, to calm my racing pulse. That's when I heard it.
A furious roar erupted from the woods behind my house. I knew at once it was Edward. My body shook. 'Is he hurt?' I wasn't sure. I broke down into sobs, praying to heaven that my love was alright.

Edward POV
Jacob was sitting before me, shaking.
"You know she loves me, don't you? Why do you think she slept with me all those times? She's over you, bloodsucker!" He smirked, obviously forgetting the fact that I could read minds. That I had seen his memories of raping her, beating her, making her cry.
"Ah, silly, naïve, Jacob. Have you forgotten? I can read your mind. I saw what you were remembering. You raped her. You beat her. You have made the love of my entire existence, the fucking reason I am HERE! CRY! And you still hold so dearly to the delusion that she loves you? Ha!"
Oh yeah, I saw it. The comprehension on his face. Heard the click as the gears of his mind righted themselves.
He was dead.
He knew it.
I knew it.
All that was left was for me to do the deed.
I flew at him, pinning him to the ground. I broke his other arm, his legs one at a time. I punched him twice in the ribs, the same spot he had bruised Bella. And finally.
"And so, an evil ceases to walk the earth." And with that, I snapped his neck.
