Chapter 24
I was jolted out of my sleep by a loud siren - which I had not heard during the full time I was on that island. Something is wrong. I thought silently as I searched the room for Edward. That's when I heard the horrifying screams , tearing through my ears from outside my window. I rushed to look outside.
Everything was on fire. The trees that once stood, were quickly burning to the ground. Terrified people scurried every which way, screaming at the top of their lungs. The once beautiful, peaceful island, was now turned into a chaotic mess.
I could see people fighting in the distance. A thick, black smoke trailed from the huge fire in front of them. I couldn't tell who it was. Worriedly, I grabbed an old shirt to cover my mouth, and ran to the front door.
I yelled for Edward, but there was no use. He wasn't home. This made me worry even more. Is he okay?
I stepped outside into the burning pandemonium. Ashes flew throughout the air, along with the sound of death. I could not believe my eyes.
Hastily, I covered my mouth, and nose with the fabric - hoping it would help filter the air. My eyes investigated the island, but I could not see anything. I have to find Edward. I whispered with determination.
I could hear the bones crunching . Agonizing yelps for help surrounded me. That's when I saw him.
Jake was lying on the ground, about two feet away from me. I rushed towards him. He rolled around in misery.
" Jacob!" I screamed, ripping off a piece of fabric for him to breath through. " What's going on?"
" The Volturi." He groaned. " They heard about the fight between Edward and me. They weren't happy."
" But I thought we had it all sorted out." I mumbled.
" You were wrong Bella. Their number one rule is to keep vampires , and other beasts like me a secret. All of these people have to die."
I placed the shirt over his mouth, and rubbed his arm slowly, hoping to comfort him. I could feel his broken bones through his skin, and decided to stop. I looked around, and watched all the horrified people - running for their lives. And unfortunately, every single one of them had to die.
" Damn it!" I rose to my feet. " I'll be right back." I spoke down to him. " And if not, I want you to know - I love you." I kissed his forehead before running off towards the big fire in the middle of the island.
I could see them ; The Cullen's. They were combating with so much force, it sounded like thunder and lighting. I heard Edward, he was screaming at them to stop. But they had nothing but negative replies.
I watched in horror, as they tore people apart - limb by limb, and then threw them into the growing fire. I could see the skin burning. I could smell the flesh as it scalded.
At first, I thought it was only humans. But that's when I saw Laurent's burning body. This was all my fault.
I heard cries from far away, and spun around to see vampires with bright red eyes, attacking Jacob.
In all honesty- that man was my best friend. I loved him. Not the same way as Edward, but it killed me to see him this way.
That's when I heard Edward. He was yelling out in pain. Quickly, I turned to see a thin , blonde woman, simply standing in front of him. Her eyes were the same shade as blood, and her face was determined. Edward was on the ground, paralyzed by the torture.
I remembered one night, back in forks. Jacob had invited me over for a camp fire. All the Quileute's were there, sitting around , and listening to stories. Jake's father, Billy, told us about the tribe and their heritage. He told us specifically about the vampire attack they had years ago. He spoke of a noble woman, who killed herself - to save the rest of her family. See; her husband was getting attacked, and to save him, she cut herself, making the vampires come after her instead.
I knew what I had to do.
I took a deep breath, giving the two men I love most a sympathizing look, before reaching for a sharp rock. " I love you Edward." I screamed, before brushing the rock against my skin. I heard the skin tare, and I felt the blood trickle down my arm. I gave my stomach a glance, and whispered " I love you."
Suddenly, a pile of thirsty vampires were running towards me. Edward was off the ground now, running behind them. Jake rose to his feet, and even though his whole body was broken, he came running.
" I love you." I mumbled again.
I closed my eyes , and everything went black.
