Chapter Thirty-Seven "Maintaining the Balance'

Everyone looked over at Nicolas and then looked back over at Bella. "How are we going to do that?" Carisle asked causing me to sigh and look over at Alva.

"I need you to change me back," Bella said causing Edward to rush over to her.

"No," Edward said shaking his head. "I won't allow it," he said causing Bella to glare at him.

"This isn't your choice Edward," Bella said glaring over at him and he shook his head.

"You are my wife it is my choice," Edward said in a firm tone and she snickered. "I am not going to let you turn evil again I am not going to risk losing you again," he said causing Bella to sigh.

"The fate of the world lies with getting that staff," Bella said coming closer to him. "We have to do this Edward and you know it," she said causing him to touch my face.

"You come back to me," Edward said in a firm tone. "Or I will never forgive you," he said glaring at her. Bella kissed him softly on the lips and rested her forehead on his

"I will be fine," Bella said in a low voice. "And I will spend the rest of our lives making it up to you," she said causing Emmett to make a gagging sound

"Come on Bella," Alva said leading her away from them. The others kept of fighting with everything they had trying to hold them off. Inside Bella laid on the alter and with the help of Jezebel they preformed the ceremony.

"Let us begin," Alva said looking down at the book. "Ma…ka…na….ne….so….na," he said beginning the chant.

Nicolas was watching his arm begin to slaughter the small rebel force but then stood up. Bella came out of the compound and throw the ground of rebels. "NO!!!" Alva yelled out causing the thunder to clash.

Bella looked the same way she did when Nicolas changed her except Alva had control. Bella stood in front of the rebel force with her uncle at her side. "Destroy him and get the staff," he said into her ear.

"Yes Uncle," Bella said looking back at him and the ahead at the army. She began blowing them all to bits sending them flying as they came charging forward.

"GO BELLA!!" Emmett shouted causing everyone to look at him. "What just trying to show my support?" He asked shrugging his shoulder.

Bella finally got to Nicolas and he stood in front of her. "Give it to me," Bella said glaring over at him.

"They might have been easy to kill," Nicola said standing up. "But I won't," he said slapping her across the face and she turned back to him glaring.

"That was a mistake," Bella said throwing him back and he growled over at her.

"Could he kill her?" Edward asked looking over at Alva.

"Bella is strong," Alva said causing Edward to glare at him.

"That didn't answer my question," Edward said causing Alva to just ignore him. He turned back to watching Bella as she fought with her father.

"I am going to kill you my child," Nicolas said with a smirk on his face. He raised his hand to her and she began to choke. She placed her hand on her neck gasping for air.

"BELLA!" Everyone from the Cullen family yelled out.

"We have to help her," Emmett said in a firm tone and Alva stopped him with his arm.

"No," Alva said in a firm tone. "Bella kill him," he said softly. She could hear it from the distance between them and her eyes flashed with fire.

Bella raised her hand up shooting a ball of fire in her father's direction. He dropped his hold on her and tried to recover from the burn. She went over to her grabbing him by the neck and threw him against a rock.

"You stupid child," Nicolas said. "Just like your mother," he said standing up. "Good only for one thing," he said laughing and shot a fire ball at her. She went flying back as Nicolas charged over to her.

Nicolas picked her up by her neck and slapped her across the face. She glared down at him and spit her blood on him. He threw her down to the ground and was getting ready to kill her. Bella stood up from the ground and moved around him quickly. She grabbed his head and ripped it off. His body fell in front of her and she tossed his head to the side. "YES!!" The rebels cheered just before she was chained up again.

Bella began to struggle against the chains and Lucifer picked up his staff. A surge of power went through him and he went over to Bella. "Get ready," Alva said to Jezeblel and Nazar who were holding her down.

"This makes us even," Lucifer said placing the staff on her head. She began to convulse and the chains were removed. She collapsed to the floor and Edward rushed over to her.

"Bella," Edward said stroking her face.

"Hey," Bella said with a smile on her face. "Its over," she said causing him to nod.

"We must go," Lucifer said to the demons around him and Alva went over to her.

"It was good seeing you," Alva said kissing her forehead and she smiled up at him. "Goodbye," he said before disappearing with Lucifer and the other demons.

"Come on my love," Edward said lifting her up bridal style. The vampires and wearwolves all met together in a large room.

"Thank you for all your help," Aro said standing in front of them. "We have maintained order maintained a balance," he said looking over at Bella. "But the real thanks goes to our Bella," he said motioning her over.

"This can always come back," Bella said looking over at them. "Be ready for anything at anytime," she said. "If it wasn't my father it'll be someone else," she said in a firm tone and everyone nodded.

"We will be ready," Sam said causing her to nod at him.

"I just wanted to say how sorry I am," Bella said with a sadden look on her face.

"You are already forgiven," Sam said causing her to smile down at him. "But its time for us to get back home," he said causing all of them to nod and Jacob came over to Bella.

"It was nice seeing you again," Jacob said touching her hand.
"Yeah," Bella said with a snicker on her face and Edward came over to her.

"Goodbye Jacob," Edward said glaring at her and Bella slapped him playfully.

"Be nice baby," Bella said with a smile on her face and Jacob walked away form him.

"He was thinking bad thoughts," Edward said turning to Bella. "Thoughts that only I should have," he said causing her to smile and wrap her arms around his neck.

"Want to show me those thoughts?" Bella asked causing him to groan and they headed out of the room. The other vampires watching just rolled their eyes and went their own way.
