Chapter Twenty-one-Saviours BPOV

"I love you" I mouthed to Edward, who was struggling with all of his might to break free. I saw the tears pour down his and his screams for mercy, to kill him and not me.

I felt Tommy's hands wrap around my neck and begin to pull slowly, torturing Edward. And as I saw my life flash before me, begging for it to be quick and painless, and that it won't be long before Edward joins me, I heard the terrifying sound of ice crack. But I knew it was vampire skin.

I squeezed my eyes shut, waiting for the pain to happen, and then the death. I heard Edward scream, 'NO BELLA! I LOVE YOU TOO!' But a second passed, and I still didn't feel any pain. Was I already dead? Was it that quick, I didn't feel anything at all?

I looked around bewildered. Edward's eyes were wide open and I turned around to see what he was looking at, and I saw Tommy's hand on the floor, and Emmett had a hold of his neck.

Jasper, Carlisle and Esme came then. Carlisle ran into another room somewhere and grabbed a key. He threw it to Esme, before joining Emmett and Jasper. Esme ran over to Alice, Edward and Rosalie and let them go one by one. Alice had pulled on the chains so hard, that one of her hands had broken off. 'Carlisle, can you help Alice please?' Esme called. Carlisle ran straight over and began to help her at once.

As soon as Edward was free, he shot over to me. He stroked my cheek with the backs of his fingers, and he put a strand of loose hair behind my ear. 'You're really alive. I thought I was dreaming,' he told me, bewildered. 'My Isabella's still alive. Oh my Bella, I thought I was going to have to live without you,' he wept.

Esme came over then and unlocked the chains on my wrists. It felt so good to be free. Edward wrapped his arms around me and I knew he wasn't going to let go in a while. 'Edward we have to help the others. Come on,' I said to him, getting up onto my feet.

'I think it would be best if I checked you out Bella. Edward can help his brothers, but I don't think you should, you've been through too much already,' Carlisle said from the other side of the room.

'No. I'm going to help. No one's going to persuade me otherwise. Anyway, I want to get my own back for what he's done to the family.'

'Okay, if you wish. But promise me you'll get looked at afterwards.'

I rolled my eyes, ready to argue back at him, but Edward answered for me, 'I can assure you Carlisle, I'll force her to be checked out, even if she will hate me for it. Now come along Isabella, are you going to help or not?'

We ran over to where Emmett, Jasper and Tommy were. Emmett was in the corner, upset and surprised. He was staring straight at Tommy who was shouting at him, whilst stopping Jasper attacking him. 'You left me! You both did! How could you! Why didn't you find me? I waited all of my life for my biological parents to come and find me, but they never did! How could you just forget about me!'

'I know we did Thomas...'

'Don't call me by that name!' he snapped back at Emmett.

'And I'm so sorry. But we had no choice. We had to give you away, we couldn't look after a human child, could you imagine what we would be like when you fell over and cut your knee. The tiniest bit of blood would have driven us insane and we'd suck all of the life out of you. We did find you, we were watching you all of your life, just from a distance. We thought it best that you didn't know us, that you didn't know what we were,' Emmett sobbed. 'We never, ever forgot about you Thoma... Tom. Every day we thought of you. But then you disappeared. We couldn't find you anywhere, you just left.'

'That's because I was changed. I was bitten by some random nomad who wanted companionship. I killed him a few years later. And now, I'm going to kill you and mommy.'

Emmett's face changed as soon as Rosalie was put in the picture. 'I'm afraid we can't let you do that,' Edward said. Tommy looked around and stared at Edward.

'Yeah, you're going to have to get through us if you want them,' I said.

Tommy stared at me then. 'Oh hello there, Bella. You certainly are beautiful. Maybe I'll keep you alive, and you can be mine. My little... prize.' Edward growled at him.

'Yeah...um...I don't think so. I'm Edward's, and Edward's only. You might as well kill me, instead of 'keeping' me.'

'As you wish.' Tom lunged towards me, but Edward whirled in front of me and got down low into a protective position. Jasper got behind Tom and Emmett at one side. I decided to go the other side, trapping Tommy. I grabbed one of his arms and began to pull with all of my strength. It came off, without difficulty to my surprise. Emmett was doing the same on the other side, and Jasper forced Tom onto his knees. Edward wrapped his fingers around his neck and said to him, 'We can give you a second chance. You can get away and carry on with you lowly life if you wish. But you cannot come back to Forks or Seattle. You cannot see any of us ever again. We will give you this chance, in exchange that you do not kill any one in this area as you leave. And you leave this family alone.'

'I'd rather die,' he spat.

'Okay, your choice. Goodbye Thomas Hale.' And he pulled and pulled until his head came off with a horrible cracking, just like ice.

Emmett got down on his knees and began to sob at his dead son. Jasper got a lighter and set fire to Tommy's body and I watched Emmett, in horror, as he began to crumble down like he did before. Rosalie ran to his side and did the same, grieving for the son she never stopped loving. Edward grabbed my hand and attention. 'Come on Bells, lets go home.'

And we walked out of that hell hole, hand in hand, wondering what was going to happen next. I was just glad I was alive and with Edward. As I climbed into the car, I opened my mind up again, feeling completely safe with my Edward at my side. Edward joined his lips with mine and made me forget about absolutely everything.

Hiya guys!
