Elizabeth POV

Yeah. So I had been through a lot in the last 48 hours. My home was blown up and I was basically kidnapped by a group of vampires who claimed that they were my family and that I had been stolen by the vampires that I actually thought were my family. I was getting a headache just trying to understand it all.

So you would think that with all of that going on I wouldn't even notice that we were currently in a tin can miles above the ground flying halfway around the world. But no. As soon as the plane started to move all other thoughts had left my head and the only thing I could focus on was the fact that at any moment we could all be plunging to our deaths in a heap of hot burning metal. Or maybe we'd get lucky and the plane would crash into the ocean and I would drown. I was going to die. Yep.

I felt Bella put her hand on my knee to stop it from shaking. I didn't even realize it was doing that. I tried to calm myself down. Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. Yeah so not working!

Emmett POV

I heard her foot tapping in the seat in front of me. She was scared of flying. Of all the terrible things she's probably seen living with the Volturi for almost her entire life she's afraid of flying. I chuckled a little when I heard her start to take deep breaths. I could almost hear her telling herself to breathe in and out.

I saw the flight attendant making her way down the aisle ahead of us and decided to at least try and help calm her nerves a little bit. I asked for a bottle of water and gave the attendant a smile. I found it hilarious how humans always got that dazed look whenever any one of us paid them the least nit attention. I'm easily amused, I know.

I stood up and reached over Elizabeth's seat and put the bottle in front of her face. I must have caught her off guard because she jumped and gave a little squeak. I heard her heartbeat increase and her breathing take off. It took everything I had not to bust out laughing right there, but I knew Eddie would punch me in the arm as soon as I sat back down and I didn't want to start a fight in first class.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare ya. Just figured you might want this. Ya know, don't want a repeat of yesterday. " I said, trying to make my voice sound as soft as I could. I knew that I had been scaring her lately and I didn't want her to think that I didn't like her or something.

She looked at the bottle like it was the most precious thing in the world. "Thank you" she said, giving me a smile that reached all the way to her ears.

"Welcome. You really don't have anything to worry about you know. You're surrounded by 7 vampires who love you a lot. You think we would let an airplane hurt you?" I asked.

She giggled and shook her head "No, I guess not."

I sat back down and turned my head to see Edward staring at me.

"What?"

"Nothing." I swear to God he needs to cut that cryptic shit out. If it weren't for Elizabeth being so scared I would take his ass down right in the middle of the aisle.

"Yeah, right Em. I was just thinking it's good to see you acting like y our old self again. It's been a long time." he said. Turning back to face the front of the plane, probably trying to hear what everyone else was thinking, like the nosy jerk he was.

"I heard that."

I snorted. Like I cared. Wait...what?? What the hell was wrong with me? I hadn't called him Eddie in forever, and I definitely had not snorted in a long time. Was the mind reader right? Was I starting to act like my old self again. I had to admit I hadn't felt this good since Rose was around.

Rose. Rosalie. My Rosie. God I missed her. I hate not having her around every day. I missed her so much. She would have been the best aunt to Elizabeth and Ness. She WAS the best aunt to them. She died for them. I wished things had worked out differently and I could have kept her with me forever. That's how it was supposed to be. Me and Rose. Forever. But they took her from me. I could have killed them all a million times over and it would never have made me feel any better. I had hoped it would.

When we were in Volterra and I had Caius pinned down on the ground I thought that once I had made him suffer my pain would somehow start to go away. But it didn't. I was furious. I could hear her yelling out in rage at them when they tore Elizabeth out of Bella's arms. I Could feel her wrench herself away from me before I could stop her. I saw her running after Elizabeth. And then I saw Caius. I saw him grab her around the waist and dig his teeth into her neck. All I could think about was making him hurt as much as I hurt. I tore him apart slowly, reveling in his screams. I saw red. I was brutal. I just kept ripping and pulling. But I never felt any better. I started to sob. I had been planning and hoping for this moment for 12 years and it didn't do anything at all. Sure he was dead and justice had been served. But my heart was still as broken as the day she died.

That's why right now, I was completely dumbfounded. I wasn't in agony. Sure I was in pain. I would always be in pain. But it wasn't unbearable. I was actually laughing again. What the hell was going on? I had wanted to beat Edward up for being a prick again. I can't even remember a time when I actually cared enough about him meddling in my head to want to do that.

And Elizabeth was back. I found that I was feeling very protective around her right now. I had seen what happened to her last night when she got upset. And she was clearly having a hard time on the plane. But normally I wouldn't have cared. I had been so caught up in my own grief that I hadn't cared about much of anything lately. The only reason I had even come along to Volterra was to get my revenge. Now that everything was said and done, I wanted to make sure that she was ok. She was suddenly the most important thing to me.

My Rose died trying to protect her. So that's what I would do too. I would honor Rosalie by making sure that nothing bad ever happened to this girl again. It's what she would have wanted. I was after all her Uncle Emmett. Uncle Emmett. That just didn't sound right where Elizabeth was concerned. Renesmee was my niece. But I just couldn't see Elizabeth that way. Maybe it was because she was all grown up now, and I hadn't been there to see it happen. Either way, I wanted to be her friend. Not her uncle.

Ha-ha. I wanted to be able to corrupt her. Ness was too absorbed in Jacob to want to hang out with me. And the others all had their own things going on. Not that I had been much good company in a while. But I found that I wanted to teach this girl how to have fun. She looked like she hadn't had fun in her entire life. She looked like she needed a friend too. Alright Emmett, we can do this. The next couple months are going to be hell for her and she's gonna need to have a little fun to get her mind off of it, and you've been completely out of practice for a long ass time. So let Operation Corrupt Elizabeth begin!

Seriously, what the hell was wrong with me?
