AN: Nope still not Stephenie Meyer, and if she could she would probably make me eat soap after this chapter.
Fury (Alice)
The sound of tires burning rubber draws the attention of every student remaining in the parking lot. I stand staring at the quickly disappearing tail end of Edward's car. "Now, I wait." I exhale deciding to take the long way home, I begin walking along the road away from school at a slow pace. The solitude and silence of the walk will be my perfect companions.
I allow my mind to drift as my feet move forward following the path home without effort. For the first time since that terrible day Bella ran away from us, I feel hope. Tonight Bella will be mine alone. I will be able to hold her without fear of repercussion. A thrill of excitement runs through me at the thought of loving her openly and without reservation.
The forest edges up against the narrow road I walk upon, calling me into its cover. The two mile walk has been soothing to my frazzled nerves, but I long to run. Stepping under the disguising cover of the forest I let myself free, running with joyful abandon toward home. I need to get ready for Bella's return.
Leaves fall off of bushes and tree branches brushing against my arms as I run through the densely packed foliage. The green of the leaves fades as a cloud envelopes my vision pulling me violently away from the present. An aura of urgency vibrates around me as I slip into a glimpse of the future. All movement stops, my legs collapse from under me in horror as I watch the premonition unfold.
"Who is she?" Edward growls threateningly, his eyes black. He leans in dangerously close to her breathing deeply, his expression hardens turning predatory.
Bella's head shakes vigorously her eyes fearful. Pain distorts her face as she brings her hands forward as if to protect herself. Edward violently grabs her wrists slamming her arms back against the rock above her head pinning her down. A small gasp of pain escapes Bella's now quivering lips, tears streak down her cheeks. She closes her eyes biting her lower lip with enough pressure to leave the skin under her teeth white with pressure.
"Who is she Bella, who dared steal you away from me?" He asks, his voice alive with the talent of our kind. Luring her into a state of peace, easing her bodily stress with his pheromone laced breath. He employs the weapons of the hunt.
Bella's body relaxes under his touch, her weak protests cease, leaving her motionless under his touch. Her lips part in a silent scream, her arms strain against Edward's momentarily as his face disappears under the cover of her hair claiming her as his own.
A final word whispers from her lips, "Alice." A peaceful smile forms as her body stills.
The trees tremble with the unbelievable volume of a tortured animalistic howl. My ears ring with the sound, my body quakes with the forceful emotion drowning the creature. I cover my ears trying to shut out the cries of misery. I curl in a ball rocking back and forth as my body rocks with sobs. The howling continues, echoing the cries of my soul.
Strong hands pry my hands away from my ears, making the screams of torture louder. My head flies back with a loud cracking sound; my cheek burns.
Emmett stands over me, his large hands gripping my shoulders tightly, his confused terrified eyes search the surrounding bushes. "Emmett." I choke out through my sobs.
His face brightens looking down at me and pulling me into a tight embrace. "Oh God Alice, you scared me! I heard you screaming all the way at the house. I thought you were under attack."
Bella's face flashes before me again, a gasp escapes me. I've wasted too much time laying on the forest floor already. "We've got to go now!" I yell, grabbing Emmett by the hand and forcing him to run with me.
"Alice, what's going on? Where are you taking me? Damn it Alice tell me what's happening!" Emmett commands as he races with me toward Edward's meadow.
"He's going to kill her!" I explain nearing hysteria. "Oh please let us be in time. Emmett you have to stop him!"
"Stop who?" He asks speeding up to run along side me. His hand pulls out of mine; he looks at me with doubt and worry in his eyes.
"Edward is going to kill Bella!" I scream grabbing his hand again, forcing him to stay with me.
"Shit!" He yells his fist clenching in anger.
Seconds later we burst through the trees racing into the clearing. Bella's body lays still pinned to the rock by Edward's weight. His face buried in her neck; his body shakes with rage.
The quietest of whispers floats from Bella's smiling lips, "Alice."
"Noooo!" I charge toward Edward blinded by fury.
Edward whips around his face marred with madness, crimson blood taints his lower lip. "You," He hisses crouching low to attack. "You did this! You stole her from me!"
Bella's body slides to the ground without the support of Edward's weight. Grass hides her face from view as she lies at the base of a large boulder. A few early spring flowers frame her body as if she were merely taking a peaceful rest.
I lunge for Edward's throat. He will die for this.
(Emmett)
I can't pull my eyes away from Bella's crumpled body. How could Edward have done this? Edward and Alice dance around each other in the center of the field taking turns dashing toward the other in attempted attack. Neither one ever landing a hit. Their growls and hisses fill the meadow menacingly.
Slowly I walk toward the girl I thought of as a little sister. Grief grips my dead heart. The concussion of boulders crashing together blasts through the meadow shattering my mournful reflection.
At the far end of the field Alice has Edward gripped by the hair using her free arm to press Edward face first into a tree, her elbow planted securely against his spine. Edward pushes against the tree splintering the thick trunk and throwing Alice off his back and hundreds of yards into the meadow. He leaps toward her. Alice rolls to the left narrowly avoiding his attack, springing up on her fingertips arching her body back she plants her legs on either side of Edward's head twisting in the air as she uses her momentum to carry her back over him.
Edward lays prone under Alice, his arms pushing against her small torso which pins him to the ground. Small fists fly through the air pummeling his face repeatedly, creating a barrage of violent cracking blasts of noise.
I turn back and run to Bella. Her skin is warm under my attentive touch. I search her for injuries. Her heart beats steadily, air moves in and out of her lungs uninhibited. Large black and purple bruises form on her wrists. Drying blood cakes her lower lip, and crusts a trail down her neck discoloring the collar of her shirt.
Shit, the bastard bit her. I stop breathing as a fire burns in the back of my throat. I turn Bella's head gently to the side to see where she has been bit remembering Edward removing the venom from her bloodstream. The side of her neck is torn from the collarbone to her ear by a long and bloody but shallow gash. No veins have been ruptured.
Why would Edward do that? Why would he cut her with his teeth?
"I wish I knew what the fuck was going on here." I mumble looking back toward the field where Alice and Edward attempt to end the others time on Earth.
Edward's shirt has been torn to shreds and is laying in pieces over the field. His back and sides gleam with venom where Alice has successfully landed attacks. Edward stands still, crouched for defense as Alice circles him at incredible speed biding her time before her next attack.
I watch Alice's circling pattern timing my move flawlessly. As she passes I throw myself behind her tackling the bastard to the ground. My knee landing a crushing blow to his groin as I throw him to the ground allowing his body to absorb the full force of my attack.
"You," punch, "Sick," punch, "Twisted," punch "Little," punch, "Fuck!" Edward's face remains expressionless as my fists fly alternately slamming against his temples. "What the fuck were you thinking! You could have killed her!"
Edward groans underneath me but does not try to defend himself. "Bella?" Alice whispers dropping to her knees beside me. Her shoulders shake as she stares at me, disbelief and relief shining in her eyes.
"She's still alive?"
A gush of wind rustles the tall grass around us, Alice kneels wrapping her arms around Bella, "Bella, Oh thank god, Bella!" She sobs burying her face into Bella's hair as she cradles her in her arms.
"Emmett," Alice calls, her voice a bit calmer but still furious. "I've got to get Bella to Carlisle. I think she's in shock, and that asshole broke her wrist!"
"No worries, I'll take care of the asshat. Go take care of Bella, tell her I'm gonna come check on her when I'm done with this douche bag." I answer, cracking my neck and knuckles.
"You feel like you need to hurt someone still Edward? Get up on your feet." I growl in Edward's face.
He lies on the grass refusing to move. "My issue isn't with you."
"No, your issue isn't with me hu? Well maybe I've got an issue with you. Yah, in fact I do." I sneer lowering myself to stare in his weak eyes. "I've got a real issue with you hurting Bella."
"Yah, well you won't have to worry about that anymore." Edward pushes himself up off the ground with ease, staring straight in my eyes before turning and running into the forest.
AN: So yah, it's a two for one night since they were both short. God this kicked my butt. Still don't know if I'm really happy with the way it turned out, but there it is. Maybe I'll play with it more later.
Please let me know what you think. Review please.
