A Long Way Down

When I came to again I was laying on a the bed and alone it the room, at least I wasn't tied to the chair anymore. I got up slowly, stretching my sore limbs as I did. My head still hurt something fierce and my eyes stung slightly. My eyes caught on the wall and I stepped closer to have a look.

I was wrong with my first assumption, I noticed as I looked them over. I had thought they were only pictures, but now I could see that there was a few scattered around that at least use to have me in them, My face had been scratched out though. Some were of him and her, but the pictures that caught my eye were the three in the in the dead centre.

At first glance I had thought it was Edward and Tanya together in a hotel bed, blonde hair obscured the faces in the first, I clearly recognised Edward's body though. The second wasn't much better, all you could see was the back of her as she straddled his waist and had almost dismissed it as something I didn't need to be looking at.

The third though, was the one to made me stop and stare, Edward's face was completely visible as he sat back on his heels staring down at the woman on the bed, his hands on her hips ,only the top of the blonde hair was visible as she lay in front of him, her legs wrapped around his waist and there it was, a faint, only just there scar, the same one that ran down my thigh, then I began to notice things other things about the pictures, like the slight curve of the stomach, not the stick thin waist Tanya had, the hips were too wide and the hair too short.

It was me. Someone had gone through a lot of effort to make every strand of my brown hair a light strawberry blonde, but it was still me. Why would she do that though? I knew about the affair, Edward hadn't even denied the affair, so why go through all the trouble? I had so many questions and I doubt I would be getting any answers anytime soon.

I shook my head and sighed. There was no use stressing over things I could do nothing about right now. I lay down on the bed, my mind drifting in and out, I had almost fallen asleep when I heard the bang and shot up. It sounded close, it was followed by two more before there was a loud crash and voices, they were muffled by the door so I couldn't make out what they were saying, they sounded distinctly male though.

I jumped up from the bed and went over to the door. What if they were helping Tanya? But I guess, what if they weren't? I sighed heavily and banged on the door. "Hello?" I called out and the voices stopped, I banged on the door again, harder this time. There was a commotion on the other side and then I heard a voice next to the door.

"Bella, is that you?" I sighed in relief and almost cried at the sound of Rosalie's voice.

"Rose, yeah it's me. I'm so glad to hear your voice," I said through the door.

"Not as glad as I am to hear yours. Move away from the door, Emmett is going to kick it down." I backed up quickly and gave my okay when I was far enough. I flinched the first time his foot hit the door, but he had to kick it another four times before it even started to crack. I heard arguing on the other side before there was one final kick and the door flew open.

The first one to enter, I was surprised to see was Jasper, I threw my arms around him and clung onto him tightly. "It's okay now, Bell. We've got you now." he whispered holding onto me just as tightly.

"Holy shit." I pulled back from Jasper to look at Emmett, who was staring at the picture wall with wide eyes, "That's one hell of a crazy stalker wall and creepy as all shit," I laughed and stepped up next to him.

"Tell me about it, I've been stuck in a room with it," I heard someone clear their throat and my breath caught as I took in the sight of Edward, he looked awkward standing there and took a hesitant step towards me, when I didn't move away he brought me into his arms.

"I'm so sorry, Bella." he kept mumbling into my hair. I just nodded, not speaking.

"Well isn't this sweet. The cavalry is here," we all froze at her voice and turned to the door, she was leaning against the door casually and Edward pulled away from me, making a move to put me behind him when she pulled a gun from the back of her jeans, "Uh uh ah, I don't think so, sweetheart." she said waving the gun around.

"Tanya-" Edward started, but she shot him a glare.

"Shut up!" she screamed, her voice shook and she breathed heavily, before speaking again. "Just shut up, Edward." She repeated softly now. "Bella?" she held out a hand to me, but Edward stepped in front of me, Tanya laughed softly and pointed the gun to the closest person, Rosalie. "Please," she added with a smile. I stepped around Edward towards Tanya.

"Tanya-" Edward tried again.

"I said shut up, Edward." she gritted out between, "You've ruined everything. We could be happy, she just keeps getting in the way. Don't you see that?" she asked frustrated. "Everything was going to fall into place and she just had to ruin it again."

"Nothing is ruined," Edward said taking a step towards her, "We can go somewhere, start over. We'll never be able to do that, if you don't just let Rosalie and the others go," she shook her head though.

"No, she'll always get in the way. I thought we needed her, but we adopt another baby and everything will be perfect. Don't you see? She has to die and then we can be together. Always."

It happened so fast. I would have missed it if I blinked, suddenly Tanya was pushed forward as Emmett tried to grab her from behind, there was a fumble for a second and then the gun went off.

The majority has spoken and the poll came down this afternoon, the alternative ending will be put up soon, it will be posed as a full story. Just skip until you get the chapter 'A Fork In The Road' (see what I did there, hilarious) and that chapter, as well as the chapters posted after that will be different from these ones, obviously and it will be called 'The Perfect Catch' (The Wrong Fish will not be connected at all to the alternative ended.)

Also, if any of you guys haven't read The Wrong Fish and/or The Fish She Let Go, I recommend reading them, it'll give more information about the whole story and it explains the importance of the photoshopped pictures. Thanks for reading! :D
