Thank you littleditto, and Stjarna04, you are some of the people who have loyally followed…thank you. I'm still kinda new here and the advice really helps me know that I'm a decent writer. Oh, and a shout out to Mexican-Pride3 and Raina-Rain-ySunshine, welcome to The Halo! Hope to see you liking it more!

Oh, and yes, Renie is inside Janetta. Basically Janetta has to, ahem, be with child to allow her to become Ren's full Guardian. Hope I could answer your question!

In fact, thanks to all of you. :)

Hee, hee, anyways :S…Sit back, have a cupcake, and enjoy.

I don't own any characters of Twilight Breaking Dawn. I'm simply borrowing them to share my creativity with the world.

14: Attack

(Paul's POV)

We reach the Cullen house, and the sickly-sweetness of a leech burns my nose. We phase back from behind the trees. Pulling on a pair of cutoffs and a black T-shirt, I stand beside my imprint. She looks at me with those big eyes and steps closer. "I won't let her touch you without your permission, 'Nettie," I look at her. "I promise."

My words seem to make her relax. "Thanks." she whispers.

A cool breeze whips around us, and I tense as I see a flash of long blonde hair. "Rose."

Janetta leans forward slightly. "It's good to see you."

Her eyes soften when they meet mine. "We can trust her."

(Ria's POV)

Something changes in his amber eyes, and he nods, releasing my hand but still keeping close as I approach Rose. Her blonde hair, as always, tumbles perfectly down her back, making me feel slightly self-conscious.

"She's angry."

"We figured as much," I murmur. "How bad is it?"

"Jasper's struggling."

I sigh with anxiety. "I suppose we'd better get in there then. Where are Seth and Leah?"

"Here," Leah answers, slipping out of the woods with her brother in tow.

The tension is thick enough for a knife to slice. I look at the two groups, stepping back. "You are a family, like it or not. I'm going in, with or without you."

Walking towards the house to prove it. Paul silently falls into step beside me. My hands shake, and I begin to reach for his hand, but then I stop myself. You can't fall in love...

Rose opens the front door and beckons for me to follow her. The rest follow. I notice that Francesca steps closer to me. I look over to my twin, who immediately walks over to wrap an arm around my shoulders.

The house is eerily silent. I can feel my heart racing, pounding loud in my ears. But that's when the trouble really starts.

"WHERE IS SHE?!"

The screech makes me cringe and reel back as if I was slapped.

There she is.

Newly changed Bella Cullen stands before me, thrashing in Emmett's strong hold. Her eyes are pitch-black with rage; venom flies from her mouth as she screams out threats and insults that should never be said out loud.

"WHERE IS SHE?! WHERE IS MY BABY, YOU LITTLE-"

Her words are cut off when Emmett jerks her back in further attempts to restrain her. Jasper has a tortured look on his face as he gives a futile attempt to calm Bella down. I send him a sympathetic glance, letting him know that he doesn't have to stay. His mouth quirks into an acknowledging and thankful smile, but he shakes his head no.

"Bella." I whisper.

Her piercing eyes land on me as she slowly stepped forward. "Give me my daughter, now!"

"I-I can't."

"Why not?!"

I didn't answer, and this angers her further. "Answer me!"

She shoves me. I grunt as my back makes contact with the floor, sucking in a breath. I wrap protective arms around my torso. Paul lets out a terrifying growl, trembling as he moves to stand in front of me. "Angel, get away from me. Please," he grits out.

I nod, slowly getting to my feet. Nina helps me up, supporting my weight.

Paul phases, and with another growl, begins to stalk Bella. A warning.

"Let me go," I murmur, too quiet for any of the room's occupants to hear. "He's going to get himself killed,"

"Paul's able to take care of himself, honey. Besides, you have to be careful, you're looking out for two people now."

She said that part a little too loud. Sixteen pairs of eyes are now trained on me, and I send a panicked look in my sister's direction. Bella looks at me, then at my stomach, and understanding suddenly dawns in her bloody eyes.

It all happens so fast.

Bella wrenches herself out of Emmett's grasp, Paul tries to stop her, but her strength is enough to push him away, slamming him into the wall. I scream, but my voice is cut off. An ice-cold hand wraps tightly around my throat; I feel a sharp prick there, and suddenly my body floods with indescribable pain. Spots appear in front of my eyes as fire surges through my body.

A strong wind whips my hair into my face, stinging my cheeks. The room heats up; the ground shakes.

I vaguely see a flash of golden hair, and suddenly the pressure on my throat is gone, and I can breathe again, taking in a desperate gasp of air. My knees buckle and I collapse, coughing. But then the pain truly registers, and I find myself shrieking. Warm hands clasp my shoulders, and I look up, weakly.

Paul, my brother, and my Guardian stare down at me.

(Francesca's POV)

I want to kill her. I want to kill her so, so badly. I try to keep my rage under control, but Bella is seconds away from becoming a pile of ashes. Dominic screams out a curse, his winds blowing his short black curls off his forehead. "Francesca, look!"

I crouch down. "What?"

My Bond's brother gently turns her neck to the side. The blood I see seals Bella's fate.

Looking at Dominic and Nina, I see the seething anger in Nina's eyes. Dominic nods to me. I let out a yell as I launch myself at the newborn. Dom, Paul, and the rest of our respective groups follow me, but I hardly notice, my infuriated gaze locks onto frightened crimson eyes.

Paul's murderous glare is directed at Carlisle. "You get that poison out of her now."

The doctor nods and runs over, kneeling. Promptly, he begins to suck the venom out of her system. Janetta writhes and thrashes in discomfort. Rosalie runs over to her and grabs her hand.

I throw Bella into the wall with a satisfying crack. Dom pins her back with a strong wind while Nina summons thick vines to keep her there. My hands call for the flame that blazes in the fireplace. It flies obediently into my palms, swaying with excitement.

"I don't know why we ever agreed to help you." I spit, switching my language from English to my native tongue.

"We are now withdrawing our services." Dominic continues in Spanish.

"Good luck with the Volturi." Nina finishes in Latin.

With that, we turn and leave her, tied up and looking stricken. "You can't just leave!" Alice exclaims, looking sincerely upset. "Please! You have to listen, the Volturi are working with your kind. They're after you!"

We all freeze in unison. Nina sighs, closing her eyes. "It begins again."

Ok, I am so sorry for not updating. School has pressured me to no end. But now that the major-point assignments are over, I can finally update faster. So, tell me, was this chapter worth the wait? If you were confused about the Bonding concept tell me and I'll find a better way to explain it next chapter.

Oh, and if you do want the elementals to leave say "Bon voyage!", if not say, "Stuck like glue"

Don't ask why, just go with it. PS I had a lot of sugar today…

Just 1 review 'till I update! Tell me your thoughts you amazing people! *attempts to do heart with hands but fails drastically*
