So, I would just really like to thank all the readers. You guys are awesome. I love knowing you're reading.

And again, I'm really sorry that I didn't post earlier. You guys did your part, and I didn't do mine on time. I was with family, and out of town all throughout December. So, I hope you are all still there.

Also, in today's chapter, there is a little bit of a mind fuck. Edward, Bella, Emmett. Everyone needs a mind condom right now. Stuff is going to happen, and it just needs to. You can't be mad at me, because everything is fictional, and nothing is happening in real life. I hope you can accept, and maybe forgive..?

I don't own twilight.

I kept pacing back and forth, my entire body shaking with rage. Pacing was the only thing that kept me from running downstairs and killing that crazy woman… ugh. Bitch. I wasn't exactly succeeding, though. My legs kept trying to make a run for it, as if I couldn't control them.

My control has never been this far out of my hands than it has in the past few weeks.

"Love, calm down." Edward said, walking over to me. His arms slowly, as if cautiously, started to make their way to my waist. All I did was glare at those damn hands.

"You want me to calm down? Really… I wouldn't touch me right now then." I barked harshly. I was being cruel, but I just couldn't stop. The only thing I saw was red.

"Bella, you're doing exactly what she wants. Losing control, getting angry. She wants you mad." His hands grabbed my waist, pulling my body to his.

I started to protest, my body still shaking, but he basically told me to shut up. I silently complied, weaving my arms behind his neck, playing with the hair there.

Venom started vigorously pouring into my mouth and eyes, burning. I tried swallowing, but it just formed a lump in my throat, causing a small sob.

"Shh, Bella." He tenderly rubbed my back.

"I hate her so much, Edward!" I cried into his chest.

Never had I felt so weak, and just drained. My entire body just felt tired. I hated all of it.

His fingers moved to my hair, stroking it gently while whispering into my ear.

"I know how hard this is for you. She keeps trying to make you mad; it's all she thinks about. But, she's nothing. Just a pesky human, who will be gone in a little over four weeks."

We rocked back and forth, almost like dancing.

"I never thought that this whole situation would be so difficult. She was such a sweet girl. Only sixteen years old. No one is that awful at sixteen. The things she says, the way she acts. It's as if something else is turning her into someone else."

"Don't be silly, Bella." He scoffed. "Her true colors were just revealed, that's all."

"No, really think about it. I had known her for a while before she came here. Emmett fell for her, almost instantly. She didn't want anything with him while Rose was in the picture. She's a sweet girl, who knows what it's like to be hurt, and she knows boundaries. She loved her family, especially that sister of hers… now what? She went from asking about her, multiple times a day, to now…"

"So what?" He pulled back to lock eyes with mine.

"She hasn't asked about her in two and a half weeks, Edward. That's not natural."

"Bella, that doesn't mean anything. She probably just gave up. Nothing could do that to someone."

"Maybe the pregnancy did… the baby."

"Bella, you're acting crazy. He's a baby, he couldn't do anything like that. And besides, Ness wasn't like that at all."

"It isn't exactly the same thing as Ness was. But she was smart, and she got smart fast. She could control me sometimes, like the whole Jacob thing. Maybe this baby knows that Isabelle is not his mother. Maybe he's mad at us, or just hates us."

"What would he have to hate us for?" He laughed.

"Not being able to be the right kind of mother, not carrying him myself."

He laughed again, walking towards the mirror and fixing his hair a little and grabbed a grey t-shirt from the dresser. "Bella, you are the one going insane."

"I'm not kidding, Edward! Something has gone wrong."

"No, she's just a lunatic. Stop trying to make something out of nothing."

I glared at him, pulling my shield down.

'Feel, feel how I feel; something isn't right.'

He just shook his head and started unbuttoning his shirt.

I walked into the bathroom, turning on the shower. Hopefully this would clear my mind.

"Want me to join?" his voice barely carried from the other room.

He already knew the answer.

'No' I thought coldly. 'Just go talk to Emmett.'

The only sound after that was the door shutting.

Peeling off each layer of clothing was draining. I didn't want to do anything, except maybe cuddle up with Edward and my daughter, watching a funny movie. That obviously wasn't going to happen. She was in a different state, and Edward was being a prick.

I opened the shower door, stepping in with ease. The water was hot, but felt great running down my marble skin. I grabbed the white bottle of shampoo, pumping three times. Scrubbing it into my scalp felt amazing, as if all the weight of the day was being taken off.

All I needed to do was think.

There is no way that this whole thing is natural. She is, or was, such a sweet girl. I don't understand how she could change so much. It has to be that baby. He is changing her.

And the scariest part of everything: If he could do that from insider her, what would he do once born?

He was starting to have more cons than pros, making this whole thing seem stupid.

He just wasn't worth all the pain and anger anymore. There was no motherly connection to him, it was as if he weren't mine to begin with…

I contemplated that through the rest of my shower, finally coming to a decision.

My little E.J. wasn't mine anymore, or maybe to begin with. He only wanted me upset, or to kill Isabelle. Either way, both were happening, tonight.

"You can't be serious?!" I coughed, almost laughing. He believed the same bullshit Bella did.

"I am completely. Ed, we need to… fix it."

I wanted to laugh at his joke, but he wasn't kidding. "How do you expect to do that, Em?"

He looked around for someone, and when he saw no one, he frowned.

Taking his right pointer finger, he dragged it across his neck slowly.

Death.

"Are you retarded?! Seriously, Em!" I wanted to scream, and yell, and just… run.

"Shut up!" He screamed. 'He can hear you, dummy! And he's evil. If he were to find out any of us were against him… fuck, we'd all be screwed!' he screamed in his thoughts.

Bella chose to walk down the stairs at that moment, looking lovely.

"Hey guys… wanna go catch a few deer?" she gave us both 'the look', motioning with her head to go outside. Not taking no for an answer, she grabbed both our hands and walked us over 3 miles away from the house.

"I made a decision, and I don't think you're going to like it."

"Bella," Emmett stopped her. "We… have to get rid of him… even if it means both of them. He got messed up somehow, and it is affecting her. He… if he is to be born, he can do ten times more damage."

"Don't worry Em, she agrees with you." I growled, venom pooling into my mouth. I hastily spit to the side, trying to get rid of some of it.

"Please Edward, don't be mad at me." She grabbed my hand, squeezing it.

I just spit again, closer to her than intended.

"Give me a little bit of time. I… I just need some time." I pushed her hand away, walking further into the woods.

My mind was going crazy, and the only thing I could think to do is sit.

Falling against a tree was a nice start.

I sat there for maybe four or five hours, until something surprised me.

"Edward… Edward Cullen…" a sticky-sweet voice came out of nowhere, surprising me. "Its me… Josey." She paused again, clearly upset I wasn't looking up. "Josey Summers."

I finally pulled my head up, focusing my eyes on her.

I knew her, I just didn't know her, know her.

She had long slender legs, covered by white ankle pants. She was very slim, probably weighing 111 pounds, give or take a few. Her dark brown hair was curled in waves, while her bangs remained straight and off to the side.

"Come on," She laughed, annoyance in her voice. "We have four classes together!" she laughed again.

Her laugh could be described as… annoying. It was high pitched, and rang a little big in my ears. It just kept going and going, and was really fake.

"Mind if I sit?" she asked, walking closer to me.

I stood before she had the chance, placing a phony smile on my lips.

"It's dirty, wouldn't want to ruin your pretty outfit,"

"No, I wouldn't. It's top of the line." Her green eyes focused on mine, betraying truth and worry. "Are you okay Edward? It's getting dark, and you're just chillin' in the woods? Kinda sketchy."

"I just had a fight with my family. I started walking, and got tired."

"Oh," she smiled at me, scooting a little closer. "well, my car is just ten minutes back there. Wanna go get a bite to eat?"

I thought about it for a second, looking back in the direction of my house, twice.

"Are you alone?" I questioned casually, at least that was my intention.

She nodded, biting her bottom lip a little.

"I would…" I stopped.

Come on Eddie… you know you could kill her so fast, it'd be over before she knew what was happening.

Welcome back Monster.

He roared inside me, bringing all the hurt from this afternoon into my head.

They don't care what you do; they plan on killing Isabelle, and that baby.

No. I… I can't. I won't. I have worked too hard for control.

Eddie boy, it would be one girl. You owe it to yourself. They get to kill someone, so should you. Knowing Bella, she's probably chowing down on her right now.

Bella wouldn't do that. She has too much control. Since the beginning.

Really? Well… would have fooled me. This morning's activities would prove you wrong. She had to use the door from stopping her from ripping that girl's throat out. You are a mind reader, think about it.

"SHUT UP." I screamed, apparently out loud.

"Edward?" Josey asked. "You… are you okay?"

"Do I look okay?" I yelled at her.

Ooh, Edward here has a backbone. Come on, one bite. Izzy is already gone. Give yourself a treat for putting up with her for so long!

"I'm sorry, so sorry Josey. I don't know what came over me. Stress." I looked her deep in the eyes, trying to tell her to run.

This monster was starting to win.

That's right, Edward. Just… apologize. Go get a bite. Maybe two. I'm starving.

I grabbed her hand gently, pulling her towards me.

She wasn't all too innocent herself. The second I grabbed her hand, she wanted me all over her, especially kissing her neck.

I did what she wanted, kissing every inch of her neck before lining my jaw up with her jugular vein. My mouth opened, feeling the soft skin on my teeth.

Do it Edward, Bite! Now!

His voice made me pause, realizing the situation.

"Edward… what are you doing?"

I couldn't move, my mouth was literally watering.

"I'm so sorry, Josey."

Before I knew what I was doing, I sank my teeth into the soft flesh, ripping and tearing into her veins. The sweetest blood imaginable flowed into my mouth, gushing like river water. It poured over my lips, dripping down my face and neck, staining this damn grey T-shirt. The feeling of strength was getting stronger, and I couldn't believe I'd ever stopped living like this. Her screams were nothing but chants to drink faster. They died down, slowly, until nothing remained of Josey but her lifeless carcass.

I pulled away quickly, remorse filling every inch of my body.

The remainder of blood in my mouth fell out, falling to the forest floor.

What had I just done?

With nothing left to do, I ran back to the house.

I had to stop Bella and Emmett.

But, I was too late.

I hope you enjoyed! Big changes are happening, and it's almost over!
