Chapter 7: Falling To Pieces.

30 minutes into fight…

EPOV:

Bella and I had the upper hand now, we had taken three of the four out. There was one left, and he was obviously the one who had hypnotized our family into trying to kill us.

Bella had tried time and time again to get him on the ground to no avail.

She was trying her hardest, and I could see that she was losing that battle as I was fighting Emmett.

BPOV:

Holy crap this guy is strong! I was losing, and I knew it, he had the upper hand in this fight.If I was going to beat this guardsman, I would have to use his power…

"Imagine him doing what you want" I thought to myself. And just as I thought about him going and slaying his own men did he turn and walk away to the other side of the room where the rest of the guard were. I pictured it once more, and to my astonishment, as well as Edward's, he did it! Now only to 'cure' our family. This should be easy.

I thought about all of my family turning back to their usual selves, and they did just as we'd hoped.

They all dropped to the ground, dazed and disoriented.

"Oh, my…" Esme was the first to speak. I ran to help them up.

"Edward, what about that one?" I asked him as I pointed to the hypnotist, who was standing there, his face blank without any emotion.

"I don't know. Emmett?" he asked, looking for assistance with the kill.

"Yeah…sure." He looked a little mystified to me.

As Emmett got up and went with Edward, he grabbed some of the body parts from the ground where they lay.

"Grab some," he ordered Edward.

EPOV:

Well, this was going to be fun. At least it's over.

"Hey Emmett?" I asked as he lit the fire.

"Yeah, Eddie?" he replied, using the nickname I forbid even Bella to call me.

"Emmett! I told you to never call me that! Never!" I roared at him.

"What's the big deal, Edward? It's just a name. What? Does it bother you so much that you can't be called that at all? Well, if you ask me, that's kinda sad…" he drifted off into a ramble that I did not care to listen to.

As he was still talking, Bella poked her head out the back door and motioned for me to come inside.

'Coming' I mouthed.

"OK." She replied.

As I walked to the house, I could hear all of the creatures of the night. It was so peaceful out here, like the world never changes at all, but it does.

I had realized that the second I saw Bella for the first time. I still remember it to this day — it was in the lunchroom at school, and I had heard Bella ask that thing named Jessica 'who are they?'. That's when it all started — My existence as I know it.

I soon crossed the threshold into the house.

"Yes?" I asked.

"In here, Edward." I heard Bella reply.

As I walked into the dining room Carlisle asked, "Where's Emmett?"

"Outside," was all I answered.

"Can you please go get him?" he asked politely.

"Sure." I complied, and left to go back outside to get that monster brother of mine.

"Hey, Emmett?"

"Yeah, little bro?"

"We need you inside." I replied.

"OK," was all he said.

We walked to the dining room in silence.

"OK, now that everyone is here," Carlisle opened, "We have more to worry about now. The Vulturi will notice how their guard has not come back yet, and send more troops, so to speak. I am anticipating that we will need to be extra cautious in the next few days, weeks, or months to come." He turned to Alice and asked, "Alice, have you seen anything coming?"

She closed her eyes, searching for an answer.

"No, I don't see anything coming too soon. We still have a little time." She replied.

"Good, now I want all of you to be looking out for any signs, OK?"

"Yes, sir." We all agreed.

As Bella and I walked up the stairs, I couldn't help but wonder why the Vuturi would want us. Besides that they are probably thinking of Bella as a threat to them, I had come up with no other reason.

"I love you." I whispered to her.

"I love you too, Edward. More than you'll ever know."

BPOV:

I felt bad, not in a sick kind of way, but in a way that can only be described as not right, yes, that was it. Something didn't feel right, but what?

I felt like I was falling to pieces on the inside.

The reason, I didn't know….yet.

JPOV:

Bella was feeling all wrong inside. I need to talk to Edward. Now.

As I walked up the stairs to their room, I felt another, foreign feeling, a feeling of giddiness, and impatience, but blew it off.

I came to Edward and Bella's door, and knocked.

"Come in, Jasper." Was all Edward said.

I opened the door and spoke.

"Bella, Can I talk to Edward alone, please?" I asked, trying not to sound impatient as I was.

"Sure," She replied as she got up off of the couch she and Edward were cuddling on and walked out of the door.

"Edward," I began, " there is something I need to talk to you about."

I paused.

"Go ahead." He encouraged.

"Bella has not been feeling right lately. It's almost as if she is anticipating something bad happening, like she can feel it, not see it, just feel something. And its wrong. I'm worried for her."

"I'll talk to her about it. Thanks Jaz."

"Sure thing."

As I walked out of their room, I felt that impatient feeling again.

Something is not right here.

Anonymous POV:

Soon they will slip up. And I can get her…Very soon……..
