Chapter 10- Lost in the Fight
Emmett's POV
"Emmett, you can't go out there and fight," she whispered into my chest. So she heard the conversation.
"I'm going to go there and fight for you. Please don't try to stop me. I have to do this," I said back. She started to sob. Her body is shaking. She looked up at me.
"Emmett, I can't lose you. You mean so much to me. I love you," she whimpered and let out a sob. I held her tighter and kissed her hair.
"Bella, I have to go fight for you. You won't lose me," I whispered into her hair and kissed it again. She snuggled in closer to me.
"I see you won't change your mind, so I'll let you go. Promise you'll come back to me," she sobbed into my chest.
"Always," I whispered and held her tighter.
"I'm not going back to sleep, I want to stay with you until you have to leave," she whispered and wrapped her arms around my neck.
"Okay," I whispered back. I laid down and laid her on top of me. She snuggled in closer. With in thirty minutes she was asleep. I laid her down on the bed and left the room quietly. I have to tell everyone the plan. I walked down stairs and everybody was sitting on the couches. I sat in a chair and looked at them.
"I have a plan, so let me tell you guys," I said quietly, "Esme I need you to stay here and keep Bella safe. The rest of us will meet Victoria half way. Carlisle, Brian, and Rosalie you will take half of them and Alice, Jasper, and I will take the other half. I will take on Victoria myself. I will scream Bella if I need help. Just try to get rid of them as fast as possible. Watch each others back and never let your guard down. That's the plan. Will it work Alice?" I turned to Alice.
"It will work, but something is going to happen. I can't tell what," she said, a little frustrated. I nodded and headed up the stairs to get back to Bella. When I got in there she was wide awake and crying. I picked her up and set her on my lap.
"Everything will be okay," I said and rubbed her back. She fell back asleep after a while.
Alice's POV
Are plan was going perfectly. We finished off all the newborns quickly. Emmett went off to fight Victoria. I had a vision early and Emmett will kill Victoria. I'm still waiting for that bad thing to happen. We sat and waited for about an hour for Emmett and he didn't come. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a newborn running. I jumped up and ran after it. I ripped off it's head and burned him. When I was done Emmett still hadn't showed, so we went of looking for him. I had a vision.
A fire and Emmett burning. Pieces of a former vampire were scattered every where.
I gasped. Oh no, this cannot be happening.
"Guys, he's gone. Emmett was killed," I said. I knew if I could cry, I would be. My brother was dead. What are we going to tell Bella? After I said this we all started running home.
Bella's POV
I was pacing around the living room waiting for them. Esme was sitting on the couch watching me.
"Bella, calm down. They'll walk through that door any minute now," she said soothingly. I stopped pacing. Just as I was about to sit down, the door flew open and everybody walked in with a pained expression. I counted to make sure every one was there. They weren't all there.
"Where's Emmett?" I asked. Jasper walked over and hugged me. I knew something was wrong as soon as he did it. He let go after a minute.
"Bella, Emmett was killed in the fight. He's not coming home," Carlisle said. I dropped straight to the floor and let out a sob. This couldn't be happening. I lost him. He's not coming home. I let out a blood curdling scream and ran up to our room.
I closed the door and locked it. I curled up in a ball on the bed and cried. He's gone. My Emmett was killed trying to keep me safe. I screamed and sobbed for hours on end. When I finally calmed down I picked up my guitar and started to play.
It was two weeks after the day she turned 18
All dressed in white, goin' to the church that night
She had a box of letters in the passenger seat
Six pins in her shoe, somethin' borrowed, somethin' blue
And when the church doors opened up wide
She put her veil down, tryin' to hide the tears
Oh, she just couldn't believe it
She heard the trumpets from the military band
And the flowers fell out of her hands
Baby, why'd you leave me? Why'd you have to go?
I was countin' on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breath
It's like I'm lookin' from a distance, standin' in the
background
Everybody's sayin', he's not coming home now
This can't be happenin' to me, this is just a dream
The preacher man said, "Let's bow our heads and pray
Lord, please lift his soul and heal this hurt"
Then the congregation all stood up and sang
The saddest song she has ever heard
And then they handed her a folded up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, and what could've been?
And then the guns rang one last shot
And it felt like a bullet hit her heart
Baby, why'd you leave me? Why'd you have to go?
I was countin' on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breath
It's like I'm lookin' from a distance, standin' in the
background
Everybody's sayin', he's not comin' home now
This can't be happenin' to me, this is just a dream
Ooh, Baby, why'd you leave me? Why'd you have to go?
I was countin' on forever, now I'll never know
Oh, I'll never know
It's like I'm lookin' from a distance, standin' in the
background
Everybody's sayin', he's not comin' home now
This can't be happenin' to me, this is just a dream
Oh, this is just a dream
It's just a dream, yeah, yeah
When I was finished I hurled the guitar across the room, at the wall. I screamed and fell to my knees on the ground. I just screamed over and over again. Why'd he have to go? Why'd he leave me? He promised he would come home and he didn't. I started sobbing. There was a light knock on my door.
"Bella, I brought soup. Can I come in?" I heard Esme sweet voice ask me.
"NO, LEAVE ME ALONE," I screamed with a sob. All the Cullen's tried, but I wouldn't let them in. They just got the same reaction. I sat on the floor still sobbing violently when I heard a knock on my door.
"Bella, it's Jasper. I brought soup. Can I come in?" I heard Jasper's voice softly through the door. I crawled over and unlocked the door. I crawled straight back to where I was before.
"Come in," I said very softly. He set the soup on the bedside table. He scooped me up in his arms and sat on the bed.
"Bella, Emmett wouldn't want you to cry over him. Also the family is very worried. All they hear is your horrific screams.
"Jasper there is a song I wrote for Emmett, but he's not here for me to play it for. I finished it up today, so I could play it for him when he got home. I want to play it for you, and only you. I don't want anyone but you and him to hear it," I whispered. He nodded and left the room quickly.
"They're gone, you can play it now," he said and sat on the bed. I went to my closet and grabbed one of Emmett's acoustic guitars. I sat down next to jasper and started playing.
You found hope, you found
faith. She made it easy,
made it free. You will fly and you will crawl. It's a secret, that no one tells. You will fly
and you will crawl. You
laugh, you cry, no one knows why, You
will fly and you will crawl.
Found
how fast she could take it away.
Found true love, but lost your
heart.
Now you don't know who you are.
Made you hurt till you couldn't see.
Sometimes
it stops, sometimes it flows.
But baby, that is how love goes.
God knows even angels
fall.
No such thing as you've lost it all.
God knows even
angels fall.
One day
it's heaven one day it's hell.
And it's no fairy tale, take it
from me.
That's the way it's supposed to be.
God knows even angels fall.
No such thing
as you've lost it all.
God knows even angels fall.
But oh, the thrill of it all.
You're on the ride,
You might as well, open your eyes.
God knows even angels fall.
No
such thing as you've lost it all.
God knows even angels fall.
Even angels fall.
Even angels fall.
When I finished I set the guitar on the bed and looked at Jasper. He just stared at me for a minute then recovered. He smiled a small but bright smile.
"That's was wonderful," he whispered in my ear. I remember when Emmett would whisper in my ear and make me shiver. I faked a yawn so I could be by myself. Jasper stood up and walked to the door. He turned around when he got to the door.
"I leave you to eat and get some rest. Goodnight, sis," Jasper said softly and left. As soon as the door closed I let some of the tears fall. I walked over slowly to the door and locked it. I slid to the floor in front of it and cried. The sobs racked my body. I cried myself to sleep on the floor.
Brian's POV
It's been two and a half days since the fight and we lost Emmett. The only sounds we every hear is Bella sobbing, screaming, and stuff hitting the wall and breaking. She hasn't eaten in three and a half days. She never comes out of her room, and she doesn't let anyone in. She doesn't even let me or Jasper in. It breaks my stone cold heart to see my best friend/baby sister in so much pain. She never sleeps either. She cries all night. During the day if she is not playing sad songs on her guitar, she is throwing things and screaming.
The rest of the family and me sit on the couches, when we're not trying to get Bella to talk to us or get her to eat. The TV is on, but no one watches it. We just sat there and wait for Emmett to come home, but we know he won't.
Emmett's POV
It's been two and a half days since that newborn tore me up and left me to wither in pain. I looked up when I heard voices and foot steps. I saw Aro, Felix, Demetri, Jane, and Alec. Felix and Demetri bent down to look at me.
"Aw, is poor little Emmett torn apart?" Felix asked in a baby like tone.
"Saves us the work of tearing you apart before we burn you," Demetri said, and stood up.
"No, we will not be burning him. Put him back together," Aro ordered them. They quickly followed is orders and put me back together. I turned to Aro and bowed.
"Thank you, sir," I said with a smile. He nodded at me.
"We found out a human knows our secret, and it was one of the Cullen's that told it. Is it true?" Aro asked me.
"Yes sir, a human does know, but we are going to change her when she gets out of high schoo1. Can you please wait that long?" I answered.
"As long as she is going to get changed, it is fine. Our work here is done. Goodbye, Emmett," Aro said and walked away. Jane, Alec, Felix, and Demetri glared at me for a minute and then followed Aro. When they were out of sight I turned around and ran home.
When I got home everyone was sitting on the couches. The TV was on, but nobody was watching it. When Alice saw me she jumped up and hugged me.
"Emmett, you're alive. Oh my god, we were so upset, especially Bella. She has locked herself in your room, and won't come out or let anyone in," Alice said quickly before she let go. Right as she let go I heard music. I put up my finger to my lips tell everyone to be quiet. The guitar started and then the singing.
I always needed tome on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cried
And the days feels like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side
When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through
The day and make it okay
I miss you
I never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do
When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
And when you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
And when you're gone
The words I need to hear to get me through
The day and make it okay
I miss you
We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were, yeah
And all I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me, yeah
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
And when you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
And when you're gone
All the words I need to hear to get me through
The day and make it okay
I miss you
When the song ended I heard a loud bang and something breaking. Then I heard a heartbreaking scream. I quickly ran up the stairs. I kicked the door open just as I heard another scream.
Bella's POV
When I finished the song I threw the guitar. It hit the wall with a loud bang and broke. I dropped to my knees and screamed. When I screamed a second time the door burst open and somebody scooped me into their arms. I looked up threw my blurry vision and saw Emmett. No, it can't be! He suppose to be died! I let out another scream. He just held me tighter and started singing something softly.
Will you think that you're all alone
When no one's there to hold you hand?
When all you know seems so far away
And everything is temporary, rest your head
I'm permanent, I'm permanent
"Emmett, is that really you?" I asked while tears streamed down my face. He wiped them off.
"Yes it is. Please don't cry or scream anymore," he answered me with an agonizing expression. I nodded and snuggled close to him. He really is here. I haven't lost him. He kept his promise, and came back to me. I smiled at this.
"You came back to me. Just like you promised me," I smiled threw the tears.
"I always keep my promises, no matter how long or hard it is to keep them," He whispered softly in my ear. He kissed my lips roughly. I wrapped my arms his neck and I deepened the kiss. My hands were in his hair. One of his hands were holding the back of my neck and the other was holding onto my waist. When the kiss ended I looked straight into Emmett's eyes.
"Don't ever leave me, again. I can't live without you," I said, blinking back tears.
"Never," he answered and held me tight to his chest. I found comfort in that one word. I knew he really meant it. I snuggled close into his chest. We sat there for a while before anyone spoke. Emmett looked around the room really quick and then looked down at me.
"What happened in here?" he asked, giving me a questioning look. I looked up at him sheepishly.
"When something reminded me of you it felt like something was stabbing me, so I would throw it. I'm sorry I broke a lot of stuff and that the room is the mess," I smiled apologetically.
"What about the guitars?" he asked, looking at them. A few tears fell.
"Playing them broke my heart more. I would get angry, so I threw them. Please don't be mad," I whispered. He looked down at me and wiped away my tears.
"I'm not mad. I'm heartbroken that I caused you so much pain. To see you so thin and tired makes me want to cry. I don't ever want to see you like this again," he said and kissed my forehead.
"Emmett, I think the rest of the family is going to want to talk to you," I said looking up at him. He nodded and set me on my feet. I instantly fell to the floor. I guess my lack of sleep and food is taking a toll on me.
"I'll carry you downstairs and lay you down on one of the couches, and then get you some food," he said and picked me up. I wrapped my arms around his neck and laid my head on his shoulder. He walked down the stairs slowly so he didn't scared. When he got to the couch he gently laid me down and ran to the kitchen. He got back five minutes later some soup, and sat down. I crawled into his lap and got comfortable. He grabbed the soup off the coffee table and started to feed me. After a while of silence Brian spoke.
"How in gods name are you still alive? Alice saw you burn. Why did you bother coming back when you caused my baby sister so much pain?" Brian yelled.
"Stop," I shouted. I stood up, but instantly fell to the floor. My body is to weak to be shouting, but I don't care. Angry sobs raked my body.
"Just stop it! He didn't know he was going to be ripped apart! He went out there to keep me safe, and all you're doing is yelling at him! I will not let anybody talk bad about him after he just risked his life to save mine! Leave him the heck alone and stop yelling at him," I screamed at him threw the tears. Emmett quickly set me on his lap and started rubbing my back. Once I calmed down another person spoke.
"Emmett, please tell us how you are still alive," Carlisle asked calmly. I guess Emmett nodded, because he stopped rubbing my back.
"As you know I went off to fight Victoria," he started off with, "When I was watching her burn I got attacked from behind. I guess the newborn was hungry because he didn't finish me off. He dropped my body and ran away. My body parts were scattered everywhere, so I couldn't put myself back together. After two and a half days of withering in pain the Volturi came. Demetri and Felix wanted to burn me, but Aro wouldn't let them. They put me back together. Once I was fully back together Aro asked me about Bella. I told him that we would change her a soon as she graduates. He told me that would be fine. When they left I quickly ran back here, and you know the rest."
We were all silent after that. No one knew what to say. After what seemed like years of silence I spoke.
"I don't care how the heck you got saved, I only care that you are alive and with me," I stated and kissed his cheek.
"I have to agree with her," everyone chimed in. Well, these past couple of days have been a pain. I hope tomorrow I get a break from all this drama. At lest I will have Emmett to help me get threw it.
I fell asleep on Emmett's lap while everyone talked. Tonight I will sleep peacefully. I will worry about tomorrow when it comes.
