A.N. I feel I should start with a sorry for my terrible lack of updates-bare with me I have an exam coming up and it is really worrying me lol, so I'm very sorry and I'm going to update more often as I have my last couple of chapters planned out, hope you enjoy :]
Carlisle POV
I watched in horror as Edward charged for Esme, her back was turned away from him.
"ESME" I yelled knowing she would have heard me if I had just whispered, her head snapped up and her golden eyes locked with mine, she turned away and looked at Edward running towards her, her smile of seeing him soon turned into a look of absolute horror when she saw the look of pure hatred engraved upon his face. I had began running towards her praying I got there before my son killed my wife.
I arrived at Esme just before Edward, he came hurtling towards me, and with all my remaining strength I knocked him hard against a tree. Esme gasped at the sight of her son going straight through the tree, he seemed to have fell to the floor.
"Esme don't worry I'll handle this, go back home, take the kids and Elsie with you"
"Bu-But we should stay and help" Her voice wasn't smooth it was hiccupped in agony.
"No! Please Esme go, Emmett will stay that will be enough, I need to get through to Edward, please, time is running out" her face was contorted in indecision "O-okay" I watched as she ran over to the kids, quickly muttering something before they all ran into the forest together.
Edward was running towards me, I got into a protective crouch. I was surprised to see Edward stop a few a few feet in front of me.
"Edward" I breathed
"What do you want! You've destroyed my family, I will NOT go to the Volturi so you will get rewarded, I belong here, but you and your family have destroyed it all" His voice broke on the last sentence
"Edward, please" I stood up and took a step towards my son, he recoiled away from me.
"You don't understand, I'm not trying to destroy what you have here, I'm trying to piece my family together" I grimaced a smile.
"Your trying to piece your family together, by destroying mine? I don't understand"
"A member of my family is here, standing in front of me" Edward looked startled, he slowly turned around expecting someone to be there.
"There is nobody behind me, I don't understand what you mean"
"No, the last piece is you, you're the family member, you're the person we can't live without, the one who made our family"
"Me?, I have never met you I don't know who you are, this is or was my family" Each word was like a knife cutting through me, he didn't know who I was and it hurt.
A loud crack echoed through the forest we were standing in, Edward and my heads snapped to the direction of the sound, I saw Emmett hurtling through the forest at lightning speeds, and then before I knew it Viert was standing right beside Edward. I turned and quickly shouted to Emmett "Go home, find the others and wait, don't even think about arguing with me, just GO!" Emmett got up gracefully and quickly nodded in my direction before running into the forest. I turned my attention back to Edward and Viert.
"Awww, could your little family not bare to hang around to watch their daddy die in the hands of their brother. That's a shame, I personally thought it would be a really good show, looks like I'm the only one who gets to enjoy it" Viert laughed and turned his gaze to Edward "This vampire has been feeding you lies, he doesn't care about you, he does care about your power though" He paused and looked at me so intensely, it was burning into the very dept of my soul "Edward attack this beast" and with that Edward lunged at me.
It took me a split second to react and I knew for my life I would have to attack my son. I jumped to meet Edward in mid-air, we crashed together like two boulders falling from great heights, the noise was deafening. Once we both fell Edward didn't recover as well as me and I had the advantage to knock him as hard as possible into a rock formation on the other side of the clearing, I gasped as he didn't move, but quickly turned to Viert and growled, I threw him as hard as I could across the forest and ran to Edward.
"Edward, look at me" His eyes fluttered open.
"Your okay son, you've got to stay awake for me, I grabbed his hand and held it close.
"You have to remember being at home, with your really family. You and Alice playing chess but not moving the pieces" I laughed, as I thought about those intriguing games they played together. "Think about you and Rosalie arguing constantly, we miss hearing those arguments, they could be over the most trivial things, but you might not talk for days after, or you having wrestling matches with Emmett and Jasper to see who's the strongest of the three of you, then Emmett protesting its unfair because you both are using your powers to your advantage. Remember you and Esme watching movies together and her shouting at you for telling her the ending, but her laughing along with you all the same" I felt a lump rise in my throat "Lastly remember all of us together, waiting for the thunder so we can play baseball, the laughter the arguments, please Edward remember" I looked down at Edward his hand clasped in mine, his mouth began to move.
"I-I I remember, I remember it all…Dad" I cried out in relief, but from across the field I heard a cry in anger, and standing before me was a furious Viert.
"You stupid, stupid idiot, what have you done"
"I have taken back my son, I don't want him involved in any of your battles" I turned to see Edward struggling to get up.
"Well if you don't want him to get involved in my battles and I don't want him going back with you, well I guess, I guess we both can't have him." And with that Edward screamed out in agony and slumped back down to the ground. His body began to shake violently.
"What are you doing!!" I screamed at him while holding Edward down.
"Telling his body to give up, we both can't have him, so none of us can, with that blood rushed out of Edwards mouth and ears, he began straining for breath he didn't need, I'd seen this before.
"You will have seen this before, this is the way he looked on his death-bed…remember all those years ago when you saved him to live along with you in your sad little life" He laughed "He's dying for a second time, the way he should have died, a seventeen year old boy with Spanish influenza, what you prevented is happening" He laughed and turned away, I seized my chance and ran at him, I got on his back and ripped his ugly head off, I ripped him to a million pieces, my anger helping me go. I quickly gathered his remains and threw him into the last few sparks of the fire and ran over to Edward who was in a terrible state.
"Come on son, you can fight this, he's not controlling you anymore" I cried out.
I held Edward for hours until he became less restless, I looked at him, his mouth was slightly open, his eyes closed and his beautiful face was contorted in pain, and as I watched him I realised he wasn't with me anymore. My mind couldn't process it and I screamed.
I sat with Edward and kept a tight hold of his hand.
"You will come alive again and call the trying times my friend" We've been through so much more than this, don't give up.
"The pain that you have suffered through will never get the best of you" I no you have suffered but don't let it get the better of you.
"You will hope in something real that won't depend on how you feel" I no you haven't always agreed with who you are or our lifestyle, but you will find your reality.
"When you call my name then I will answer, answer" Speak to me Edward and I will always be there, just please don't go.
And with that I picked up his fragile body and slowly made my way back to our family home, sobs wracked through my body as I carried my youngest son through the forest, for his family to morn.
Ekkk a bit of a cliffy, I think I have another 3-4 chapters to go, I have it all figured out don't worry :]
The lyrics are Kendal Payne-I will show you love (which I don't own) I thought they fit well with this part of the fic,
Also two or so chapters ago some people asked for not too many deaths, I'm sorry but I need to get rid of a few people for the story to progress I hope no one minds :]
Next update will be mid-week at the latest
And lastly I have thought of my next fic, after I finish this one and it will be called Angel so look out for it.
Thanks to all my reviewers and check back for my next update :] xxx
