She's family 10.
"I don't want to do it." I moaned as Emmett parked up outside the house.
"We haven't seen them in 3 months... It's time. Christmas is now 2 days away."
"But I don't want to."
"They're family Rosalie. It's not like we're meeting them for the first time."
"Everything will have changed!"
"The problem?"
"I don't like change."
"Get out the fucking car..." He moaned getting out of his side. I also quickly got out and joined him walking up to the house.
"So far, nothing's changed. That's a sign." Emmett grinned taking my hand. We walked through and into the garden where everyone one was.
"Uncle Emmy!" Nessie screamed sprinting over to us. She leaped up into his arms where he caught her.
"We have things that must be dealt with." Carlisle stood up sounding serious.
"Dad I'm sorry." I started.
"Don't. There are more important things that are the issue. Come here." Walking over me and emmett approached them.
"Alice has had a vision... We know who has been here. We know who killed
Victoria and we know what that smell is." Carlisle began as I swallowed hard.
"Royce." He whispered. The name echoed through me. Brining venom dripping from the teeth.
"Royce?" I repeated squeezing Emmett's hand extremely tight.
"Rosalie he has come back for you. He is the reason for all of this. He teamed with Victoria. He knew she would lead him to you. Rosalie the day the volturi confronted us, Jane confronted you. She was supposed to kidnap you from the battle. Luckily for us you and Bella killed her." Alice explained.
"He was behind this the whole time. Nessie was just another excuse for him to get his way with you."
I went to open my mouth but couldn't speak.
"Baby?" Emmett asked.
My mind shut down. My vision blurred.
"Rosie?"
Bright lights swirled around me. A screeching noise roared through my ears.
"Sweetie?"
"Rosalie!"
"Rose!"
I couldn't move. I was stuck. Frozen. Just like before.
"Someone get her some blood. Now!" I could hear voices ever so slightly yet I couldn't recognise who they were.
"Come on baby! Come back to me."
"Rosie!"
My lip trembled as I tried desperately hard to speak. But my tongue was tied to my throat.
"Drink this..." Something cold was placed upon my lips. But even then I didn't move.
"He can't." I whispered dropping to my knees.
"I thought he was dead... He played us like a pack of cards. How could we be so blind as to not see this!" I yelled.
"Baby you have to calm down."
"He'll kill me. That's all he ever wanted. My death..." I whispered.
"He won't touch you," emmett promised.
"It's over. If he's coming for me, he'll get me. Royce has his ways. Who turned him?"
"Aro." Alice mumbled loud enough for me to hear.
"He knew that of someday Royce would be good use."
"Rosalie I'm so sorry. For all of this. We'll stand by you through all." Bella added picking me off my knees.
"I'm finished. Royce won't hold back. I will be killed."
"Don't you ever say that!" Emmett snapped to me.
"All my life... This was my fate. I wished we had seen it before."
"I did." Alice admitted.
"You never mentioned"
"I didn't believe it."
"When is he coming?" I asked.
"Tonight. Around 9 he plans attack."
"We'll be ready." Emmett seethed.
"No we won't. I will but none of you will be." I stated whilst everyone have me confused looks.
"He's coming for me! I'm not stupid enough to put anyone else's life at risk for the sake of mine. I'll fight alone"
"You'll die." Alice sobbed.
"I'll die with dignity more than anything else."
"Let me come... I can shield his power over you." Bella spoke up.
"Forget it. You've done enough to me."
"I'll make it up to you... I'm sorry."
"I'm not interested. I'm strong enough to kill him alone." I walked back into the house and up to my old room.
"I'm not okay with this." Emmett quickly joined me.
"It's not up to you."
"You're my wife! Or have you forgotten that?"
"No! Are you forgetting who Royce is? What he did?"
"That's why I can't let you go alone. You mean everything, and I'm not losing you to him."
"I can do this."
"Rose what if you can't? Then what? Huh? If there's risks, you're not going alone."
"Emmett I've got this!"
"You don't! Your too valuable to me baby. I'm not going to let you through everything away like this..."
"I know him.. I know his powers. His weakness. I know because I one fell in love with it."
"Don't you see? He's not come back to kill. He's back for your heart... And I won't let him have it."
"Neither will I."
"You can't be sure. You fell in love with him for a reason. He'll make the reason become true again."
"I don't love em. I'm in love with you..."
"It takes one moment. That's all. It's as powerful as that. You'll see him and fall in love with everything like before. And what will happen to me? I'll become your worst memory."
"How could you say that? Don't you have faith in me? Your own god damn wife."
"I do have faith in you baby.. It's him I don't trust. I know what he'll do. Because if I was him I'd do the same."
"Emmett..."
"Just let me be with you at least. I would kill myself if I knew I could have done something but didn't."
"I.. Just.. Don't do the face"
Emmett pouted a little and laid down on the bed.
"You know what. Fine. You think you've got this... Who am I to tell you any different." He surrendered in defeat.
"Thank you."
"Don't do anything stupid... I want my wife home in one piece." I smiled walking over and laying on top off him.
"You know I'll never get enough of you." He smirked kissing my lips.
"I would hope not. I'm one of a kind." He rolled us over so he was on top.
"Something about you..." He admired.
"That drives me so nuts, I want to shoot you." He laughed into my mouth.
He pushed me deeper into the bed. Grinding carefully on top. I felt this smoothness of his tongue dance with mine.
"Your crazy." He bit down onto my bottom lip and pulled.
"But you wouldn't love me any other way." I smiled to him.
"Uncle Emmy!" Nessie came running into the room, emmett quickly pulled himself off my lips.
"What are you doing?" Nessie asked and emmett rolled off of me.
"There was a bug in my hair. Uncle Emmy was getting it for me." I answered.
"What's up squirt?" Emmett asked as she ran over and jumped onto the bed.
"Rosalie, will you be safe?" She asked snuffling into emmett chest.
"I hope so. Why?"
"Because I've seen him." She sat up and placed her has across my cheek.
Gasping at what she showed me.
"He hasn't changed." I said as she laid back down on emmett.
"I'm really not okay with this." Emmett started the conversation again.
"Auntie Rosie you need a protector." Nessie joined his side.
"I can protect myself."
"But when you see him you'll go weak at the knees."
"Nessie. I'm okay."
"I'm not okay." Emmett fought again.
"I don't care."
"I don't know about you. But it would be nice to have my wife still alive by tomorrow."
"Bye emmett." I walked out leaving him and Nessie in our room.
"What time is it?" I asked entering the living room.
"8 why?" Alice asked.
"I think I'm going to go now.." I smiled putting a jacket on and some boots.
"Back to your house?"
"Urm yeah... Out the way. Bit of quiet." I lied.
"Okay well see you soon."
"Hope so."
I left and ran outside into the Forrest up mountain. If Royce thought he was coming for me... He had another thing coming for him.
I waited centre field for him to come. I glimpsed around several times, but patients was on my side.
The funny smell was becoming stronger and he was coming closer.
I had never felt so ready.
He appeared out of the Forrest and froze on the broader line. He smiled with crooked teeth and red eyes.
"You want me. Come and get me." I whispered to him.
He took him time by walking human pace over to me where we came face to face after all these years.
"I thought you were dead." I started.
"I thought you were dead." He repeated laughing.
"Why are you so early? Couldn't wait to see me?" He joked.
"Actually couldn't wait to kill you."
"My rose. Look at what time has done to us..."
"People change, you have to accept that."
"I want you."
"And you can't have me."
"There's no one to stop me. I had you once, I'll have you again."
"My heart belongs to another. You ruined me." I spat walking backwards.
"You ruined yourself.."
"Why'd you come?" I asked.
"I'm taking back what once was mine." He smirked.
"If you touch me. Again. I swear to god. Your mistaken your life."
"And what you going to do? Here all alone, so helpless like before?"
"You stay away from her." Emmett's booming voice echoed the grounds.
"Oh.. Ha now it's a party." Royce laughed.
"This isn't with her. This is between you and me." He walked over and stood in front of me. "Alice already saw it. You want me dead so that Rosalie will suffer pain again."
I gasped tightly.
"How could you?" I mumbled over to Royce.
"Your happiness is not deserved."
"Yeah, so you want to kill me.. Let's go." Emmett started pushing me back.
"Emmett don't!" I yelled.
"You came new looking for a fight- your about to get one. Let's see what happens when a Cullen gets pissed."
"Emmett remember who you are." I reminded him desperately walking back quickly.
"You were killed once. It'll be fun killing you again." Emmett smiled to Royce.
"Rosalie stay! Come and watch your husband get his ass kicked." Royce yelled to me.
"Yeah baby, come and watch me kick ass." Emmett added. I stood still and watched them both launch themselves at each other.
Emmett was stronger but Royce had his sneaky ways. They throw punches at each other until Emmett grabbed Royce's arm and floored him to the ground.
Emmett placed his foot against his neck and pushed Royce further into the ground.
"Hay baby! It's your favourite part…" Emmett yelled as I ran to him. Picking me up he swung me around so that my feet made contact with Royce's face, knocking him out.
Emmett dropped me and picked up Royce body off the ground.
"do it." Royce laughed. "Snap it off. It's what I deserve right? Falling in love with such a bitch. I didn't want you rosie. I never did.. I wanted your body, I was just lucky enough that you gave me your heart and finger. Stupid of you really."
Emmett gripped him tighter and made him face me. I slapped him haround the face.
"I hate what you've done. You destroyed everything had an everything I was. I'll make you suffer…" I seethed kicking him in the balls.
"you sick bastard!" I yelled slapping again. And again and again. I jumped onto his shoulders and snapped his head off.
"Please be dead this time." I whispered.
"It's over." Emmett said letting go of the body.
"You said that after the Bella. You said that after Nessie was born. You said that after the Volturi. You said that after Aro's death. You said that after Victoria. You're saying it now… Will it ever be over?"
"All that other shit happened because he was back.. He's gone now, so is all his trouble."
"I fucking hope so… I'm getting way too old to be doing all this fighting,"
"Rosalie could never be old." He grinned closing the gap between us.
"no more killing.. no more deaths.. no more pain... and no more fights." I said hugging him.
"I don't know if I can promise you that.. but on the bright side, it's Christmas in 2 days."
"that doesn't make it seem brighter. Worse actually."
"Oh come on, get into the Christmas spirit baby. I got you some great stuff this year!"
"I hope so.. you have been crap the last 10 years."
"ha ha ha" he kissed me on the nose lightly. " I thought I was pretty good actually."
"Well you would. You're a man, that's how you think."
"Alice helped this year."
"That usually means she encouraged you to buy me shit." I laughed kissing his lips.
"well I have faith." He mumbled against my mouth.
"I wouldn't if I was you; I'm incredibly picky these days."
"Joy." He picked me up bridal style and carried me home to the Cullen house hold.
"Are you okay? God why would you do something so stupid!" Edward snapped as me and Emmett settled on the couch together.
"Give it a rest!" Emmett argued wrapping his arms around me and snuggling his head into my neck.
"Shut up Edward." Bella added coming into the room.
"You kill him? Again?" she asked coming and sitting down opposite us.
"With her own to hands.. slayed him down." Emmett answered for me.
"With you help" I smiled turning to him.
"oh how romantic! Both of you nearly died together, isn't that just so god damn sweet." Edward spat playing his piano.
"Get your head out of your ass" I said to him.
"After you." He retorted smirking think he was clever.
"I hope you like shit, because for Christmas that's all your getting now."
"and I hope you like crap, because for Christmas that's all your getting now" he repeated.
"God you so sad!" I whined as Emmett tugged me tighter.
"good thing Nessie won't turn out like you."
"Well she hangs out so much with me, maybe she'll be just like me."
"I fucking hope not."
"well that's too bad."
"you both need to shut up. Rosalie can I talk to you please." Bella said walking out onto the balcony where I followed.
"about the thing with Nessie and Edward and the party…" she started.
"you don't have to be sorry or anything, I over reacted at your little joke."
"Rosalie I don't mean what I do.."
"I get it.."
"but I don't. I don't know what I've to make you hate me so much."
"bella I don't hate you. I don't particularly like you but. Bella I envy you."
"that's impossible." She scoffed.
"no its not. You have everything Bella. A husband. A child. A family. A house of your own."
"you have all of that, except a child."
"that's the thing.. I dream to be a mother. Sitting at a front porch somewhere, Emmett grey haired by my side. Surrounded by beautiful grandchildren… their laughter."
"I understand that's what you want." She interrupted, and I nodded to her response.
"I'm really sorry." She concluded.
"It's not all your fault. A lot of it, but not all of it."
"thanks….. I think." She scrunched her eyebrows at me.
"what did you get Edward for Christmas?" I asked changing the subject.
"some piano book. Some new music albums. What else? Oh a new collar shirt he liked and other stuff but I can't really remember what else I go him." She laughed.
"this year should be good.. Nessie will have her fist Christmas." I smiled thinking about her.
"she's so excited for it. She hasn't stopped talking about it.."
"bless." I smiled.
