Chapter 13

Jake's POV

"Jake, you know you can't make this decision for her. You have to let her decide. Even if she lets him stay and live, you have to honor that," Sam told me. I flinched when he rested his hand on my shoulder. I was way too angry about Edward for anyone to touch me. But Bella. She can always touch me. I nodded.

"I will honor her decision. But don't think for one minute I won't be there. Waiting to rip off his stone balls!" I told him, striding toward the council. It had been decided that Bella would come with Emily and I would arrive with Sam. I knew that the Council had done this on purpose. If I were to have ridden here with Bella, I would have swayed her decision. My father sat in his wheel chair, his face looking like he had seen a thousand years of agony.

"Is she here yet?" I asked my dad. He shook his head, and motioned for me to sit in one of the chairs they had provided. Sam sat next to me, and began to discuss my way of keeping calm when I saw Edward.

"I'm not going to look at him. I'm just going to keep my eyes on Bella. She's all that matters now," I told him, my hands making a fist within the other. Sam nodded.

"Are you ready, son?" My dad asked. I nodded, and turned toward the entrance. Just a moment later, the doors swung open, and in came Quil, escorting Emily and Bella. Embry was walking behind them. I nodded to my boys and sent a quick reassuring smile to Bella. Her eyes flicked to mine and she mouthed the three little words that made my world go round. I love you.

"It is a time of great sadness when we have to hold one of these trials. Our sincerest apologies go to Isabella. We were initiating our new Alpha, and we didn't sense it in time," My dad stopped to lower his head. I knew it was considered a great loss on his part. He felt guilty enough as it was, but when it happened to Bella, his almost daughter, it killed him that he didn't sense it soon enough.

"Bring out the accused," Sam's grandfather's voice boomed from behind my Dad's. I looked back at Bella. Her face was white, and I grabbed Emily's eye. I gave Emily the look, and Emily nodded. Emily whispered something to Bella, but my ears were trained elsewhere. Edward and his father filed in. Embry, Paul, Jared, and Quil flanked them, making sure that there were no sudden movements that the Council hadn't approved of. Bella's face had gone ghostly pale. Paler than usual. She gripped Emily's hand so hard I saw Emily wince. I mouthed the words that I hoped she would be able to find comfort in. I love you and I'm here. She nodded and relaxed a little. As Edward made his way to the front, his family settled in behind us. My dad sat up straighter in his wheelchair.

"Edward Cullen, you have been brought here today because you have violated the peace treaty. You broke into the house of Isabella Swan, and bit her several times on the arm. You have broken into her house, and have made a mockery of your family. Instead of our original way of punishment, we ask the victim to choose a punishment suitable for you. You will oblige to the chosen the punishment, or we will consider the treaty at violation and begin the attack,"

Edward's face became tortured. As if he didn't know what he was doing at the time. I tried to keep my face composed, but I let out an accidental growl. His head whipped around to glare at me. I'll never forget the look in his eyes. It was a crazy, demented look. Half sorrow so deep like if you had told him that he might never see the sun again, and the other an anger so furious I wanted to recoil and hide. I heard a sharp inhale. Bella had seen the look as well. Edward composed himself and turned back to my dad. Bella's mouth became set, and I knew that any doubts she had were now gone. My dad looked at all of us, his face solemn.

"Isabella Swan, you are the Talini-Wahya. The second wolf reincarnation. The reason she chose you is unknown to us, but since you are as much of a pack member, if not more, than us…We believe that the punishment will reside in your hands. All decisions you make regarding the matter are to be carried out and respected. I'm sure none of you want a war," My dad paused to look at the Cullens, "So you will need to honor her decision as well."

"We are gravely disappointed in our son. We wish to inform you that we knew nothing of it. Any actions taken were his own. We hope the treaty can be continued after this matter is settled. We apologize for his behavior..." Carlisle told the Counsel. Quil's grandfather nodded and spoke once my dad had nodded.

"Carlisle Cullen, for many tens of years we have withheld our end of the deal. You say you have kept up your end of the deal, but yet here we stand, one of our own hospitalized. We are displeased that your "son" has chosen to act in such a manner that he would shame the family."

"I understand. We will accept whatever punishment Edward is dealt, and we will understand if you feel the treaty cannot return to where it was before," Carlisle hung his head in shame. I kind of felt bad for the bloodsucker. He was clearly embarrassed. My dad and old Quil nodded.

"Isabella, we will give you a moment alone with the defendant and his father," My dad said, motioning for everyone to file out. I stayed where I was, ignoring my dad's look. Bella ran up to me and buried her face into my chest.

"I don't want to hurt anyone…" She cried. I soothingly rubbed her back.

"He hurt you Bells, you don't know that he won't do it again…" I told her. She nodded. I could sense the vampires approaching.

"Bella, I am so sorry," Edward's voice was broken. Bella shook her head.

"I'm sorry Carlisle… but I know what I need to do," She said bravely. Carlisle seemed to understand, and lowered his head. If the stupid leeches could cry, he would be sobbing.

"You have been horrible to my pack and me. You went too far Edward...and if it didn't stop here, then who knows what you would become…" Bella told him. Edward's face was one of pure shock.

Edward's POV

The bitch had chosen him. Over me. She basically told me I was going to die. And by her hand too. I would stand for this no longer.Darkness consumed my every thought, until all that was left, was hate. I looked up and saw the Vermin's smirk and I knew that his time would end with mine. So without thinking, I lunged.

Jacob's POV

"No!" I heard Carlisle and Bella in unison. I turned away from her only to have my forearms sliced.

"You think you can just take her from me!" He snarled, his eyes burning with red. I yelped and threw a punch. It connected with his nose, and Edward lurched back. I took the time that he gave me to slam my foot into his abdomen, and he staggered back. Before I could make another move, he dragged his hand across my chest, nails digging in through the skin.

"Die pup!" he growled. I looked back at Bella. Her face was a mess of tears and horror. I couldn't leave her like this. I wouldn't. I turned back to Edward, and shoved him off of me. Before he had time to register what had happened, I threw myself onto him, and exploded into a werewolf. My teeth snapped inches from his neck, and I managed to get him down.

Jake! Back down! We're coming! I heard Sam's voice say. While I had been communicating with Sam, Carlisle had pulled me off of Edward and had Edward in a tight grasp. The red had melted from his eyes, and you could sense defeat.

"I think that is all the evidence we need. Bella, your decision?" My dad inquired, rolling back into his place.

"Kill him..." Bella's voice was flat. Carlisle stepped away and the pack and I moved in to do our job. We tore him to pieces one by one. Just as Quil went to start the fire that would end it for real, Carlisle stopped him.

"If it is too much to ask, I would like to take home the pieces. My family will be more at ease. I can assure you that he will never be alive again."

"If it gives you closure, then do as you please. Just make sure that he never gets the chance to live again," My dad told him, with just the right amount of gentleness and ferocity. Carlisle nodded, and picked up the pieces of his son.

"I am so sorry for this," he said, gravely.

Narrator's POV

At the Cullen house, Carlisle dug a grave. Before entering the house, he deposited half of the body parts in, and buried it. He threw the other half deep into the woods.

"Forgive me, Bella."

He entered the house and told his family what had been done. Nobody noticed the pieces of Edward moving toward each other, reforming out of hate.

Sorry if its not long enough or you didn't like it. Story Twists! Reviews are my life, so give me something to live for! ;D
