Edward POV

I came to a stop at the end of my street. Where to now? Just then the mirror responded as if I had spoken my question aloud. My arm holding the mirror jerked upwards before me. I stared at it in bewilderment for a few seconds, when a sudden tug of gravity lurched me forwards. It was the mirror. I gave myself to it, letting it pull me on ahead. I prayed it wasn't too far to go as I didn't want to think how much time I had left to get to Bella.

A few blocks later, the mirror caused me to take an abrupt right, coming to a stop in what appeared to be an abandoned flat. The stairs that led to the door were rotting away with damp. Great holes were dotted around the veranda, proving the floor wasn't going to be stable. The windows were all boarded up, unidentifiable graffiti emblazoned on the boards. This was it. Bella was just beyond that door. I took a deep breath to right myself and slowly walked forward.

The stairs beneath me groaned in protest as I tried to creep up them. When I was two from the top, my foot went through one. "Fuck!" I muttered whilst trying to pull it back out. It would be a miracle if they hadn't heard this inside. I finally made it to the top, pressing myself to the wall as I inched closer to a gap in the window boards. I crouched down and peered through.

Bella was sobbing in the centre of the room. Her face shined with sweat, her beautiful hair clinging to it in places. She was mumbling something unintelligible to the corner of the room. I slowly adjusted my position. That was when I saw him. I felt the revulsion climbing up inside me. Jacob Black was sat, picture of ease in a chair in the corner. He leaned forward in response to what Bella just mumbled.

"What was that Bells, didn't quite catch it?" He growled at her. Anger surged up inside me. Who was he to talk to her like that? I glanced around me looking for a way in when a scream of agony from inside interrupted my thoughts. I bent down and peered back through the gap. The side of Bella's face was covered in blood, running down from her hairline. Jacob was smiling down at her, admiring his work. She glared up at him with her fiery gaze.

"Your insane!" She roared at him. He bent down, fisting a clump of her hair.

"Apologise." He ordered. Bella suddenly spat in his face.

"Go to hell!" She muttered bitterly. Then my vision was cut off by Jacob's back. I saw the unmistakable right hook he directed at Bella, making my vision go hazy around the edges. I was going in.

BELLA POV

Pain.

The right side of my head was throbbing repeatedly, bringing me out of my previous slumber. As I became more aware of my surroundings, my ears picked up a steady scuffling not too far away. I felt my eyes shoot open in surprise. Rob had Jacob pressed up against the wall, both men were showing signs of a heavy battle. I couldn't see Rob's face, but Jacob's was swollen and bloody. Rob shot another punch to Jacob's gut. He coughed, bowing to the floor.

"Rob!" I shouted in relief, a smile breaking across my face. He turned to face me, and ran over.

"Bella! I'm so glad your o-" he paused to inspect my head, "well alive." he concluded. Jacob groaned from behind him. Rob's smile faltered. "Close your eyes a sec Bella, I don't want you to see this." He told me sternly before turning and returning to Jacob. I did as I was told and closed my eyes tightly. I still heard though. Rob was kicking Jacob some more - at least I hope it wad that way round. I opened my eyes again to the gentle touch of Rob's hand on my face. Jacob was groaning on the floor.

Rob walked behind me to undo the ropes. There must have been loads of knots because it took him quite a while, earning muttered swear words as he grew more frustrated. After a few minutes, I was finally free. I jumped up to hug Rob.

"Come on lets go home." He whispered, dragging me ton the doorway.

Edward POV

As me and Bella rounded the corner to my street I felt nothing but relief. I had saved Bella. She was alive. She turned to smile up at me.

"Thank you for saving my life." She whispered, leaning into my side. I gave her a gentle squeeze.

"You're welcome."

When we got inside, I sat Bella down on the sofa and went to the kitchen to get a damp cloth. I returned to find Bella waiting for me.

"You know? I'm getting a sense of déjà vu here." I said chuckling. She laughed along with me.

"Yeah when you took me hostage like an a psycho." She responded. I mocked hurt as I sat beside her.

"Hey!" I shouted as I started wiping her face. She laughed a little longer and looked into my eyes. I paused to return her gaze. Neither of us moved for a few moments, til Bella closed her eyes and began to lean in. I closed mine and began to close the distance. We were interrupted by a sarcastic clap from the darkness.

"Oh bravo, bravo. Encore please!" Jacob's voice mocked, breaking the silence. I saw Bella's eyes grow wide and turn to face the corner. Movement was heard as Jacob stood up and slowly sauntered out of the darkness. He took a deep breath, breaking into a smile. Fake confusion suddenly coloured his face.

"You know what's missing from this love story? A tragedy." He spoke slowly, pulling a carving knife from behind his back. Bella drew in a high intake of breath behind me. I slowly rose to my feet.

"Jacob. Lets talk about this. You don't want to use that weapon and we both know it." I said evenly, gauging his reaction. He appeared to be wavering. I only had to talk him down a bit more. I took a cautious step forward, warning him with my eyes. "Come on Jacob, put it down." I urged him sternly. He lowered his arm and stared at me.

"You're right. I don't want to do this." He whispered. He dropped the knife and took a cautious step towards me. "How about we shake on it and end all of this?" He asked me, smiling. I returned his smile.

"I would like that." I answered.

Bella POV

Jacob swallowed and closed the distance. He extended a hand out towards Rob, waiting for him to return the gesture. Rob met his gaze evenly and grabbed his hand. They shook and Rob jerked to pull away. I saw Jacob tighten his grip on Rob's hand, reaching behind him quickly. He produced a pen knife from his back pocket, placing it in his hand. My eyes bulged as I took in the events unfolding before me.

"NOOOOOO!" I screamed. It was too late. I watched as Jacob pulled Rob roughly against him, plunging the knife deep into his stomach. Rob fell to the floor coughing. Sobs rippled through my chest as I ran over to Rob, throwing myself down on the floor with him.

Edward POV

I scowled in confusion as something sharp stabbed at my lower abdomen. I was suddenly aware of the floor beneath my knees. I touched my hand to my stomach and pulled it away to look at it. It was covered in red. My breath began to hitch in my throat. Bella was suddenly beside me sobbing.

"Rob! It's going to be okay! I'm going to get some help don't you worry!" She shouted desperately, probably trying to convince herself more than me. I saw Jacob pick up his other discarded knife and run out of the door. Coward.

I suddenly felt a lot weaker, flopping on the floor to lay flat on my back. Bella grabbed my hand. "Oh god! Rob can you hear me?" she shouted desperately. I needed to calm her down.

"I-I'm f-fi-fine." I panted. The effort to speak made my chest hurt. She stood up quickly, grabbing the phone off of the table.

"Hello 911, you have to come quickly! My boy- I mean my friend has been stabbed!" she screamed into the phone. "What? Hello? Hello?" She pulled the phone away from her ear. "The lines gone dead! What do I do?" she shouted desperately.

"B-Bella? I'm go-going to be f-fine." I whispered, feeling my eyes droop. No i wasn't going to let this happen. I forced them back open.

"Oh god Rob I'm so sorry! This is all my fault!" She whispered, holding my hand. I scowled at her.

"D-don't s-say that," I swallowed and tried again "I'm h-happy you're in my l-li-life." I told her, trying to smile. I could feel it now. Unconsciousness was around the corner. For the first time tonight, I began to feel fear for my life. "Bella?" I asked softly. Her beautiful tear-stained eyes lifted to meet mine.

"I l-love you." I whispered, feeling my eyes dropping shut. I couldn't fight it anymore.

I turned my gaze to the mantel piece just in time to see the last petal fall.
