Chapter 14

The final showdown with James...

Jasper got in the car with Alice and Vivi felt a tad bit guilty that she had yelled at him. But maybe it was better for them to be mad at each other right now.

"Rosalie, Esme, could you put these on so the tracker will pick up Bella's scent?" Edward asked, tossing them Bella's clothes.

"Why? What is she to me?" Rosalie asked.

"Rosalie, Bella is with Edward. The same way Genevieve is with Jasper", Carlisle said.

"One of them isn't an annoying defenseless human", Rosalie argued back.

"Bella is part of this family now and we protect our family", Carlisle said holding the coat out to her.

Rosalie took the coat from him as Edward walked over to Bella.

Vivi watched as Edward and Bella said goodbye.

The garage door opened and engines turned on as Edward stepped back from the car.

"Wait!" Vivi said. She ran to the car and grabbed Jasper's face, slamming her lips onto his. "I love you Jasper Hale", she told him, "You come back to me...to us. Please don't let Sophia lose another father".

"I won't", he promised her, "I love you Genevieve". He kissed her gently, before she stepped back from the car.

Edward placed a hand on her shoulder.

Vivi normally would have rejected the touch, but for now, she needed the comfort. "I need to call Sam", she said. She left Edward alone in the garage dialed Sam's number.

"Vivi?" he asked.

"Hey, um...so something happened and I need you to keep Sophia".

"Genevieve, what's going on?" he asked, his alpha voice leaking through.

"I'm so sorry, Sam", Vivi said, tears filling her eyes.

"That's it. We're on our way".

About 10 minutes later, 3 gigantic wolves were in the woods surrounding the Cullen house.

"What's going on?" Sam asked her after he shifted back.

Vivi told him about what happened.

"And they just left you here?!" Sam yelled.

"I'm not defenseless. Witch, remember? Besides, Bella is their number one priority. James wants Bella".

"Then let him have her!" Paul yelled.

"Look, they said they'd only bring me in if it was necessary", she said.

"Jared, stay here with her", Sam said, "Paul, get back to La Push and protect Sophia".

"What are you going to do?" Vivi asked him.

"I'm gonna run patrol around the area. If I'm lucky, I'll get to rip a bloodsucker's head off".

Sometime the next morning, Edward and Emmett came running into the house.

"Vivi!" Edward called.

"You have to go", Vivi told Jared, "Thank you for being here".

He nodded and ran out the back door.

Vivi came down the stairs and found Carlisle there as well. "What's going on?" she asked him.

"James figured it out", Edward told her.

"So...?"

"We're in need of your powers", Carlisle said.

"No one tell Jasper. He'll only worry and be distracted", Vivi said.

The three vampires nodded and they headed for the garage. The four of them got into Emmett's jeep and sped off for Phoenix.

Edward called Bella.

Vivi opened her mouth to say something, but Emmett grabbed her and put his hand over her mouth. With Jasper's super hearing, he'd be able to tell that she was in car and the last thing they wanted was Jasper to over react.

"We've lost the tracker. The woman's still in the area. Rosalie and Esme are going back to Forks to protect your father. I'm coming to get you. Then you and I are gonna go somewhere alone. And the others will keep hunting. I'll do whatever it takes to make you safe again", he said and hung up.

Emmett released Vivi.

She desperately wished that Jasper was here to calm her down.

They were a few miles outside of Phoenix when Edward got a phone call from Alice. "Bella's gone", he said. He threw open the door and started running.

Vivi crawled into the front seat and said, "Whatever you do, don't crash the car". Vivi's eyes turned amber and the wind around them picked up.

They felt something hit the jeep and start pushing them forward.

"Vivi..." Carlisle said, warning in his tone.

"Shut up and drive Carlisle", she told him. Vivi wasn't going to let anything happen to her new family.

They pulled up the ballet studio and ran inside.

Bella was lying on the ground screaming.

"Vivi!" Emmett yelled.

Vivi snapped out of it and fire appeared in her hands.

Jasper pulled up the floorboards as Emmett held James back.

Vivi set the floorboards on fire. "Alice!" Jasper yelled.

Alice ran forward and ripped off James' head, throwing it into the fire.

Jasper and Emmett ripped his legs and arms off, finishing the job.

Vivi stared into the fire watching James turn to ash.

Jasper wrapped his arms around her and turned her head into his chest. "You don't have to watch this", he told her.

All Vivi could hear was Bella's screams. "Make it stop. Make it stop", she begged. Her eyes started to feel heavy and Jasper could feel the strength leaving Vivi's body.

Soon, both girls were passed out.

"We'll take Bella to the hospital. You should take Genevieve home", Carlisle said.

Jasper picked Vivi up and cradled her in his arms.

"She'll be fine Jasper. Just worn out", Carlisle reassured him.

One more chapter and then we're done with Twilight! Then it'll be onto New Moon. I won't say much, only that Vivi will not be left behind in Forks.
