-Chapter 18-
-EPOV-
I can see you and Bella right now. She's across the room from you in a blue dress and you're by the punch bowl. If you don't want her dead, follow my instructions carefully. When Tanya comes over begin making out with her and do NOT tell Bella about this. When you're done reading, delete this message or she dies right in front of your eyes.
I read the message and quickly deleted it and surreptitiously glanced at the windows. Sure enough I spotted Jacob in an upper window with a rifle on his shoulder. When Tanya came over to me I followed all his instructions exactly. I wasn't sure what his intentions were, but I would rather Bella hate me for all eternity then Bella being dead.
-BPOV-
He…but…how…why? I saw him embrace her eagerly and began kissing her with a determined look on his face. Had he planned this? What about the love he had felt for me? Where was it now?
-TPOV-
The plan was perfect. When Edward and Bella were over I was supposed to take Edward to meet Jacob for a surprise as Jacob called it.
-JPOV-
She was so stupid. Tanya had no idea that I was going to kill her. Sure she maybe suspected that Bella was going to die but she didn't know that she and Edward were too. But Bella was going to suffer the most.
-EPOV-
The look of pain on Bella's face matched the horrible pit in my stomach. But instead of fleeing like anyone would else have—including myself—she marched over to me and punched me.
"What is wrong with you?" she began to yell but seeing the curious looks from people she dragged me into her room. She slammed the door and then watched in pure confusion as Tanya slipped in.
"Get out." Was all Bella said and Tanya moved closer to me. I felt something sharp prick me and she leaned up and whispered in my ear.
"Tell her it's over. End it or she dies." She hissed.
"It's over! I'm not playing these stupid games!" I had been about to speak but the anger Bella had been withholding rushed out of her like a flood rushes over the banks of a river.
"Good. Now get out of my house." I tried to lie as effectively as I could while mustering up a glare. Bella, honey darling sweetie I love you. Why can't you see their plan? It's not real. See that
I love you Bella. I'm doing this to protect you. I LOVE YOU! I begged her mentally and practically screamed in my head but she couldn't see it. She brushed past me and every fiber of my being ached to grab her and kiss her so passionately there would be no doubt. But she left.
-BPOV-
Tears poured down unhindered as I ran outside and towards something that could take me far away as possible. I decided I would just walk to my house since I had no car but a rough hand grabbed me and shoved something over my mouth and choking my screams. Jacob. I knew it was him the moment his hands touched me. Slowly my vision darkened and then I was out.
-EPOV-
As soon as Bella left, I turned and pinned Tanya up against the wall.
"Where is Jacob? What is he planning?" I growled viciously.
"He's taking Bella to the warehouse. It was supposed to be a surpise." She pouted weakly.
"What is he planning!" I yelled and she flinched.
"He wants revenge and we're supposed to go and meet him because he wants something but I don't know what it is." She said desperately. I dragged her roughly by the elbow and found Emmett.
"Call the police and tell them she's an accomplice to Jacob Black in kidnapping and…oh my God."
-JPOV-
This was way too easy. A complicated love triangle gone bad. A triple murder. Now I just have to wait for Edward and Tanya.
-BPOV-
I woke up slowly, my head aching and my vision blurry. I was tied to a chair in an old abandoned warehouse. I tried to scream but only a weak protest came from my mouth. Suddenly Jacob appeared with a large grin on his face.
"You really thought you would escape me?" he said cockily. He started to launch into a long speech on my death but a revving engine and the protest of brakes outside stopped him. Edward ran in and saw us. A mixture of fear, anger, and strangely relief was on his face as he sprinted toward us. But the cock of Jacob's pistol stopped him. He put the gun to my head. I felt the cold metal but all I could think of was how my last moment on Earth would be looking at the only man I had ever loved.
"Before you die, I'll let you say some last words to each other." Jacob chuckled maliciously.
"I didn't cheat on you. It was a plan to get you away from me so Jacob could lure us here and kill us all to make it look like a love triangle. But they know about you Jacob. Tanya told us everything and I gave her to the cops." Edward said quietly. Jacob was so obsessed with revenge that he didn't even notice that Tanya hadn't come in with Edward. He bellowed like a rabid animal and shook with anger.
"I love you Isabella Marie Swan and I swear that I have never loved anyone as much as I have loved you. I have been in love with you since we met and I never pretended anything. I would have proposed to you tonight." He spoke with such assurance I almost began crying again. I was so ready for death because it brought relief from the intense pain I felt from walking away from my soul but now I wanted to live forever.
"I love you too. I've been in love with you since the day that I met you and my only regret is that I didn't tell you sooner. I love you." I said and Jacob angrily hit me with the stock of the pistol. Blinding pain shot through my head and suddenly everything was blurry as I saw Jacob go down on the floor, crimson blood leaking out of his chest. I struggled to comprehend this but all I could think about was the fact that I couldn't see Edward. The ropes fell off me and I gazed up at Edward and the pain stopped. My vision was foggy and darkness was slowly descending again but I kept murmuring I love you to him. Little droplets of water hit me and the last thing I remember thinking was "The angel shouldn't weep, it was wrong."
