Edward was chucked into the water then held down, the water entered his mouth, he tried to get it out but he couldn't. He was held down, head under the water. "No! Stop! Please!" He begs, thrashing to get out of their grasp, but with his injuries his efforts were pointless. He had about as much strength as a twig.

"Don't worry baby, we'll get it out." his mother said. "We'll get the devil out of you."

"No.." He tries to move again, but her grip tightens, pushing his head under the water deeper. The salty water burned his eyes. Jake...please save me. Please. I love you.

Through the water he saw the glint of a blade, his father held it against his wrist, he sliced in to it. Blood poured from the wound, Edward cries out in pain, in effect almost drowning himself. More water went had own his throat. Not just water, his own blood. Please...

"It's ok son, when it's gone we'll be a family again." His father mutters, the other wrist is cut. More blood. So much blood. His mother held him down further, she had tears in her eyes. Why would she be sad? She chose this!

Another push, further into the waves.

He felt so numb, which felt strange after so much pain, so weightless...no. He had to fight he had to.

"It'll be ok." He heard his mother whisper, though she was beside him she sounded so distant...so far away...

So this is what death felt like...

He couldn't breath...

"Alright here it is." Alice whispers as they pull into the beach, "So we have to find them now..."

"It's a big beach..." Bella whispers sounding nervous.

"We'll do it." Seth says back and they get out, Jacob looks around, hoping by some miracle he would see Edward. "It's getting dark though..."

"We'll be fine, Bella, call your dad."

"Already have, he's coming."

"Good." Then he walking quickly to the beach, leaving everyone by the car, he was happy for the help but part of him wished he was on his own. Though more people meant more ground cover and less time. That was the theory anyway...

He heard their yells as he quickened his pace, but he ignored them, knowing Seth and Leah were going to stay with Bella and Alice just in case it turned dangerous. So they would let him go until the girls were ready to follow.

The sun had started to set...maybe he should have had a torch, even though his eye sight was good it was limited. No...he had to find him. He had to find Edward. When he got to the main stretch of beach all he could see were the waves and sand.

"Come on!" He growled under his breath, looking around desperately. Where had that stupid reporter been...

"Jake!" Seth had caught up with him, "The girls are checking the other side of the beach and are going to call when they find something."

He didn't answer and started to walk up, he felt like a man possessed, maybe he was. He had to find Edward, or he would be lost, it would be better if he were dead himself...

He walked faster, Seth kept up with him, the beach was empty. No one but them, and hopefully Edward. Hopefully... "Maybe we should split up too..." Seth suggests. Again Jacob was silent, focusing on the beach around them...he had to be there, he had to be!

He wanted to collapse in the sand and scream, scream for Edward, scream for all the pain and torture. He felt the energy leave him from his hope of finding him...what if he never did? What if he found a body? Found it washed in the shore?

"No!" He whispered, Seth gives him a look as too much time had passed for his words to be the answer to his question. He would find him. Alive. Bring him back to Forks...he'd do it.

"Jake." He looks at Seth to see him rigid, his hand out to stop him going further, he was wasting time! "Do you hear that?"

Sighing in frustration he stops and strains to listen, almost like a whisper, was a sound. "Yes." He runs a little further up the beach, stops, listens. The sounds became clearer. Distant. Weak. A scream.

One word.

"Jake!"

"Jake!" Seth mutters but it was too late, he was off running down the beach with all of his strength, and could just about make out Seth calling Leah to say we found him. But we hadn't, not yet. "Jake wait up!" He yells again and he hears him follow.

Come on Black, focus. Jacob runs so fast it started to hurt, jumping discarded rubbish of the day's visitors. More screams, cries.

Faster.

Then he saw them, in the distance, two figures in the water...forcing a third down! "Jake!" Edward's voice was weak and a sob now.

"No!"

"Jake no!"

But it was too late. He was phasing. The anger ripping through him causing his wolf to take over...and his humanity was well and truly out the window.

"Jake no! Shit! You can't kill them! Jacob!" Seth was yelling desperate now, but human he would never keep up. With a growl Jacob launched himself across the space and into the water running. He would kill them. He would kill them. He would kill them.

Rip them to shreds.

Bella sighed annoyed, they'd found nothing, absolutely nothing. Both Alice and her turn as they hear Leah's phone.

"They found him! Well, they're close! Come on, we've got to turn around and get Charlie to the right place!" Leah says quickly, shoving the phone in her pocket, the next thing Bella knew they were all running down the beach and almost run into Charlie.

"Guys, have you found him?" He asks, Carlisle and Esme look at us from beside him, it was clear they hadn't slept in a while.

"Seth said they're close, said they heard him yelling. Come on. We've got to run to catch them!" Leah says quickly before taking off herself. I smile at my dad before running after her, and then we are all running.

I am not doing gym for a year after all of this...

I had to stop a few times to catch my breath but we made it, a little in front of us I saw Seth, I smile, seeing him giving me a little more energy. "Seth!" I yell, he didn't hear me, but I see him shake his head and take off running before phasing. His wolf standing in his place he runs into the water...to Jacob phased too.

"What the hell!" Charlie yells, halting in his run, Carlisle, Esme and Alice do too.

"Bella, get to Edward. I'll explain." Leah says, I nod and start to run again. At least we didn't have to worry about them not knowing anymore.

Jacob growled deeply as he ran, causing both of the demon parents to jump and turn to look at him, a little away from Edward, "What..." The woman whispers in shock, tears were running down her face and blood covered her clothes.

He growled deeper. Jake I know you're angry but you can't kill them! You have to get Edward out! He hears Seth think, his wolf form beside him, looking worried, pushing his side to get him away.

No, they have to die. They have to suffer! I think back and growl more.

Leah is beside him now, growling and snapping her teeth, I agree with Jake. "Demons." The man gasps as he had probably just seen Leah phase, he too was covered in Edward's blood, a deep crimson diluted by sea water.

He couldn't take it anymore, he jumps forward at the evil bastards.

He was going to kill them.

Bella ran into the water, keeping her distance from Jacob she makes it around the angry werewolves and to Edward floating still in the bloody water. She collapses beside him, feeling the water soak her jeans. "No, come on Ed." she mutters, touching his neck for a pulse, there but weak.

A splash of water, growls, she looks up to see Jacob make a move for Edward's parents, but Seth jumps at him pushing him into the water, Leah moves towards the shock ridden couple. She wasn't going for the kill, just the fear.

More splashes, Carlisle is beside her, pale, looking to be in full doctor mode. Bella looks up to see Alice and Esme, Esme crying and Alice holding her close, holding what looked like Leah's bag. "Bella, I need you to help me." Carlisle says.

She nods, "What do I need to do?"

He gets the scarf from around his neck and rips it in half, "Try to stop the bleeding."

She nods and quickly ties the torn scarf around Edward's wrists, but then the blood stops me from doing anything else. The copper and salt smell floods my senses. The world spins and, unbelievably with everything that's going on, I faint.

He feels his ribs crack at the force of Seth's push, though he knew Seth never meant to hurt him, just stop him. Jacob phases and finds himself naked in the cold sea. Maybe phasing and destroying his clothes was a bad idea.

"Jacob." Esme is beside him then, helping him up, he ignores the pain in his chest of his ribs. Alice has a bag and chucks him a pair of shorts.

"Guess Leah packed smart."

He slips them on and looks to see Charlie arresting the bastards, Leah stood growling, Seth too. Charlie seemed to enjoy the furry back up.

He runs to beside Edward then, half dead. "That's all I can do now, we have to wait for paramedics." Carlisle whispers, he had both Edward's and Bella's unconscious bodies resting on him to stop them from drowning...what happened to Bella?

Jacob bends down and whispers in Edward's ear, "You have to stay with me ok, you have to-" he was crying then, "I need you. I love you."

His eyes close, he couldn't look at his broken body any longer. Covered in blood and infected cuts.

"Please."
