Chapter Eleven:

Edward, Carlisle and Jasper crowded around me. I felt like the world was crushing me. Their questions started bombarding me two-fold. Their mouths could not keep up with their minds.

"Bella, what happened to the…?" Carlisle asked only to be interrupted by Edward.

"Where is the bas…?" Edward's eyes were blacker than black. He was seething, but Jasper cut him off before he finished.

"Bella are you ok?" he asked tentatively.

My body seemed to be absorbing their sorrow, anger, and hatred, like a parched sponge. I couldn't block it out. It was so strong. I was being consumed; my emotions were drowning me from the inside out.

My body was already repairing itself. My skin was burning as it healed the gashes and tears. I laughed darkly to myself. I am probably the only being on earth that could feel like she was on fire and drowning at the same time. Lucky me.

"I'm fine, Jasper." My voice was dead as I tried with great effort to stifle my emotions. I have never been this upset in my life, and I was starting to lose control. I shut my eyes and focused, taking a deep breath, and pushed myself off the ground. My back had just about finished repairing itself as I made my way over to the Suburban.

"We need to leave." I repeated and opened the back door to get in. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Edward, Carlisle, and Jasper exchange a look. Carlisle passed Jasper the car keys, trying in vain to be inconspicuous. I pulled my aching body into the middle of the back seat and put my head in my hands. I began to rub my temples trying to relieve the intense pressure that was building up in my mind.

Edward slid in beside me and Carlisle slid in on the other side. Edward took off his leather jacket and slipped it silently over my shoulders. The white sweater that I had been wearing was nothing but shreds now. I gently took his hand before he could take it away, without opening my eyes I gave Edward a small smile of gratitude. He was ever my knight in shining armor.

Their minds were still running with a frenzy of questions. I released Edward's hand and started to focus harder on my own mind. The black boxes were pulsating, pushing with great force against their boundaries. I was losing it.

What's wrong with her?

What happened to her?

How could this have happened?

What was he doing out here?

This isn't her. She never acts like this.

Why am I feeling so much hatred coming from her?

I wish she would talk to me

We need to find out what happened. This could have some very bad ramifications.

"STOP!" I screamed, gripping my head.

The car swerved across the road as Jasper was hit by a strong wave of my emotions, but he quickly compensated. I opened my eyes to find an intensely pained Jasper looking at me in the rearview mirror.

"I'm sorry." I said in a strangled, hollow voice.

"I think we should just let her be for right now." Jasper said still trying to recover. His eyes flashed over towards Edward.

"Bella, maybe it would be a good thing if you lock away your powers. Just to make things easier on you." Carlisle said with a quiet, sympathetic voice.

I'm trying I thought to myself, bitterly.

I closed my eyes once more and focused. Some of the black boxes, the ones I never opened were set firmly in the back of my mind but others were still trying desperately to explode. My raging mind was so foreign feeling right now. Hatred was such an ugly emotion and I was filled with it. I didn't understand why though.

"How is Rosalie?" I asked after a long silence.

"She is at home resting. She was a bit shaken up but she will be ok." Edward answered.

"Good." I said. I was glad that she was ok but my voice didn't sound it. I would endure ten werewolf attacks in order to keep my family safe.

"You saved her, Bella." Jasper chimed in, from the front seat. Guilt was building in the back of my mind. She shouldn't have been out alone in the first place. I should have gone with her.

After an incredibly long ride home in silence, we finally pulled up to the front of the house. I still wasn't in control yet. The thoughts were still there only they were muffled, like listening to them through a pillow. Feelings were similar. There was a sense of them but they were a pale shadow of what they should be.

Edward jumped out of the car and turned to help me out, I took his hand in mine and slipped out. I was focusing on stifling my raging emotions and surging powers, but as I made my way up the front lawn an intense wave of sadness and anger hit me, causing me to wince under the pain.

Emmett came barreling out of the house screaming at the top of his lungs. Edward and Jasper grabbed onto his arms to keep him back, but he still fought to get to me. Carlisle put himself in between Emmett and I, trying to calm him down. They were all yelling at Emmett but all I could focus on was his words of hate.

"Where were you Bella?" Emmett's voice was filled with loathing. It was apparent that he wasn't concerned about me when he asked. His sorrow had turned into full anger the instant his gaze met mine. His black eyes were filled with pain. His fierce expression tore holes into my heart. I had let him down in the worst way.

"Emmett, I…" my voice was a bare whisper. I could feel a lump building in my throat.

"How could you let this happen?" His voice was deafening. He was still struggling against Edward and Jasper. They were trying to pull him away but Emmett wasn't going anywhere. Not before we had this out.

I remained silent because I had no answer for him. His anger kept growing with the building silence. Even with all of Jasper's efforts he wasn't able to calm him. I just stood there staring into his angry eyes, wishing I could find the words that would ease my brother's pain. Emmett finally snapped under the pressure of his rage and he let me have it.

Emmett was standing with his massive, normally gentle hands, balled into fists. His whole frame was shaking with anger. He was taking large labored breaths and his eyes were fully black. The woman he loved more than anything else in the world was upstairs recovering and I was the one who put her there. He hated me with a passion at that very moment and I didn't blame him.

"You are supposed to be this super powerful vampire. No worse! You are supposed to be the MOST powerful vampire in the world, Bella! You took out the Volturi… You took out Morgan…But you couldn't even protect your sister from a single, good-for-nothing wretch of a DOG! Bella, you are the most pathetic excuse for a sister."

I wanted to start crying right now. His hatred was killing me. I kept the sorrow out of my face and let Emmett have what was rightfully his. He was right. It was my fault Rosalie was laying in their bed, curled up in a ball. I shouldn't have let her go off alone. I should have pushed myself harder to get to her before the werewolf could inflict this much on her. I let Emmett have his rage. It was the least I could do.

I made my way out from behind Carlisle's protection and walked towards the house. Emmett had finally stopped struggling with Edward and Jasper, but his hate-filled gaze and sharp words did more damage then his fists could ever do to me. I stopped within inches of the front door. I would leave him be, but before I left, I spoke over my shoulder, in barely whisper, without looking at him again.

"I'm so sorry, Emmett." With that I entered into the house.

I made my way down the hall to my bedroom in silence. I wanted to be alone right now. I walked across the room and opened the doors to the balcony. Darkness had once again encompassed the landscape. Inhaling deeply and felt my sore body ache. I turned around and went into the bathroom. I turned on the hot water and soon the steam began to plum into the air. The mirror mercifully fogged over so I no longer had to look myself in the eye.

The chaos that was raging in my skull was killing me. Dulled, as my extra senses were I still couldn't block them out completely. I pulled my hair up into a bun and removed Edward's leather jacket and hung it on the back of the bathroom door. I pulled my white sweater over my head and threw what was left of it into the wastebasket. I hadn't noticed before but my jeans weren't in any better of a state. Into the trash they went as well. My muscles were so sore and my skin was still extremely sensitive. I entered into the inviting water, hoping with all my heart that I could wash away every unwanted aspect of my existence.

It wasn't helping though. I finished washing my body and jumped out. I toweled the water off gently and grabbed my white silk robe and started to pull it on but my attention was caught by the face staring back at me from the mirror.

The door had opened a crack letting out all of the steam. The mirror was now completely clear and I sat there entrapped in my own gaze. The thought of Rosalie ran through my mind and then Emmett's words hit me like a ton of bricks. There in the privacy of my own bathroom I collapsed onto my knees and doubled over crying onto my hands.

Releasing my sorrow opened the floodgates. The defenses that I was building in my mind were crumbling quickly. Memories started flashing in my mind, only they weren't mine. They were Alice's visions of what she had seen when she left with Rosalie. Images of the werewolf and I. Alice was showing Edward what she had seen down in the living room.

The silver werewolf on Rosalie tearing at her shoulder

Me screaming at Alice to run

The stranger's evil smile.

"Stop." I whispered to myself. I could feel my mind slipping. The anger and rage was now loose. More images started slamming into me.

Leech…

Bloodsucker…

…the last thing you will ever see

"STOP IT!" I screamed but it was too late. I had lost all control. All of the black boxes busted open. A shockwave of my powers exploded out from deep within me. Every window in the house shattered from the force. My mind was lashing out and I couldn't stop it. Now it was my memories that were being played, being forced into the minds of everyone in the vicinity.

The vial images of the Daniel's slaughtered wife and daughter

The numerous destroyed vampires that suffered the wrath of the pack

The silver werewolf breaking free and tearing at me.

Tumbling down the hill, plunging into the depths of the ice cold water.

The stranger's dead body.

I screamed uncontrollably because I couldn't take it any more. Edward's CDs started flying around the room. The bed slammed into the opposite side of the room. The French doors to the balcony were ripped off of their hinges and were sent hurtling out into the night.

My bloodlust…

When I snapped in forest and tried to attack the human

Sending Jasper flying into the trees

My haunting red eyes staring back at me in my bathroom mirror

What had my life become? I could see nothing but darkness and sorrow. Event after event that flashed through my mind was nothing but pain and misery. I sobbed without mercy as I mourned my own existence.

Morgan's dead body

Being slammed through the castle walls

My own family being turned against me, tearing and ripping at me.

Dominic's lust

Emmett and Edward busted through our bedroom door, followed by Carlisle and Esme. They were being pelted by the chaotic debris that was flying around the room. Edward ran into the bathroom and found me crumpled into a pile on the ground, clutching my head in agony.

"Bella…" he shook my shoulders. Panic lacing his voice. "Bella, snap out of it. Look at me, please."

I wasn't in control anymore I couldn't command my body or mind to do anything. All that was left was the chaos.

Aro…

Marcus…

Cacius…

Screaming in sorrowful agony alone on the mountain tops

Volterra

The death and hatred that filled that vial city's walls

The fear

The pain

"Bella, you have to stop." Carlisle said his voice was strained with pain.

"Can't" I pushed out with everything I had left.

Carlisle was now kneeling next to me. I could hear Esme crying brokenhearted in the doorway while Emmett tried fruitlessly to console her through his own horror. I heard Edward grit his teeth as each swell of emotion thundered out of me. I was causing them immense pain, but I couldn't stop myself. Thankfully, Jasper wasn't here; he must have left the house because I could no longer feel his presence. I could only image what it would have done to him

"Bella, focus on me." Edward's sweet voice filled my ears. "Focus on my love for you. Feel it. Please." He pried my hand off of my head and pulled it up to his heart. The images started to change.

Edward…

When I was in Volterra, it was Edward that came charging into the depths of Hell to rescue me. In Morgan's castle, it was Edward who protected me from the chaos and brought me home safe. It was Edward that gave me the strength to survive when all I wanted to do was drop into oblivion. It was Edward that helped me hold on to my humanity. When I snapped in the woods, it was Edward that I could hold on to as he carried me in his strong loving arms to bring me out. It was Edward that gave me my life. It was Edward that gave me love. It was Edward.

His warm voice filled the room with the sweet sound of my lullaby. His pale strong hands ran through my hair with loving caresses, soothing the raging storm. The war inside my mind finally began to calm down. I began to take control once again. The boxes were stuffed back together. The sorrow and anger had emptied itself out of my heart. The sounds of breaking plastic and soft thuds came from the bedroom as all of the CD's and books started crashing to the ground. Then there was silence.

I took in a deep breath and sat up. Edward put his hand up to my face and stroked his thumb over my cheekbone. His topaz eyes held my gaze and his love was washing over me. I grabbed on to him for dear life. I hugged him tight and pushed my lips into his with reckless abandon. His sweet lips kissed me back with a passion that was awe-inspiring. I ran my fingers through his beautiful hair and let my pure love flow into him.

After a blissful eternity, we relinquished each other. I leaned in and placed my forehead to his.

"I love you more this you could ever imagine, Edward." I breathed. I could feel the love bursting out of my chest.

Bella I love you more than words can say. He thought to me. With that he picked me up and brought me over to our bed. The destruction could wait for the morning. The others had left us be. He pulled down the covers, sending a few stray pieces of broken glass to the ground, and laid me down. Then he pulled himself up behind me and covered the two of us in the white comforter.

We laid there in each other's arms all night soaking in each other in our love. The sun finally broke over the horizon. Our white room became all the more brilliant as the sunlight flooded through the northern windows.

There was a quiet knock on the door. Edward and I already knew who it was so Edward got up out of bed and gave me a gentle kiss.

"I'll let you two talk." He said with a beautiful smile as he looked at my glittering form.

"Ok." I said as I watched him exit the room. Emmett walked in and sat next to me on the bed. He had an incredibly pained expression on his face. He just sat there quietly for moments. I knew everything he wanted to say. I reached over and pulled his gentle hand into my own. He sat there looking at our intertwined hands for an immeasurable amount of time, as did I. My hand seemed so tiny in his.

I could feel his love as he sat there. He was my big brother, plain and simple. I loved him as such, no matter what.

"Bella…" He started. His voice seemed so small for him.

"Emmett you don't have to." I said giving him a reassuring smile. "I already know."

"Bella, there was no excuse for what I said to you last night. You have been through so much in your short existence and no matter what life has thrown at you, you were strong enough to take it and continue on. You are an amazing person, Bella, powers or not."

"Emmett, I…"I couldn't continue on. My words were caught in my throat.

"What's more, Bella, you are the most selfless person I know. No matter what, you have never put your self first. Even when you were going through hell you were more worried about us then yourself. You have always been there for us. Protecting us the best you can."

With that Emmett pulled me up into a tight bear hug and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I was so touched by his words, my voice came out in a bare whisper, "Thank you, Emmett."
