Chapter 15

EPOV

"What's the plan?" Emmett asks me once he's filled in on everything.

I point back to Jacob, "Get that fucker in a chair, tie him up and stick a bag over his head. Any dead bodies nearby, have them cleared out immediately." I tell him.

The cleanup crew is already on it, though the cops are fucking everywhere," Garrett informs me.

Emmett snorts, "I watched two cops collecting bodies off the street that no one else went down; fucking crooked ass pigs." he shakes his head.

Of course, they'd want to get as many of their men off the street, it's so we don't know who is who and who is undercover for them.

I pull up the hood on my black jacket and swing a chair around to be face to face with the dead prick who s being tied to the seat.

Damn, I can't believe Bella did it. There was so much fire and passion in her eyes I was worried she might stab me by accident. I feel my lips twitch into a smile thinking about how amazing she is when Carlisle pulls me from the beauty inside my head.

"Got word of a black sedan heading our way. For whatever reason, there are only two people in it." Carlisle says walking from the back.

Two people? Does Aro really think Jacob could pull this off?

"Aro and Marcus?" I ask.

He nods, "That s what Jasper says."

Relief floods over me at hearing Jasper's name. He hadn't shown up yet, and I worried he'd been hurt or picked up by the police.

"Let's end this, Edward. For them," Garrett says. I couldn't agree more. I want him dead. I don't care if he suffers the way Caius suffered. I just need him dead.

"Stay out of sight, stay close." Emmett heads for the stairs, he'll cover the door. Carlisle turns back to the kitchen, and Garrett heads for the broken back door. Fuck, this place is a mess. I lean back in the chair and wait. The second the front door opens, I'm tense.

"Ah, Mr. Black, you have definitely proven yourself worthy," Aro says his heels click with every step he takes. I nod along. "Is this any way to greet your boss?" he asks with a slight chuckle. "Please tell me Edward Jr. is under that sack."

I know my hood covers my face well, as I see Aro's legs and feet come into view, yet he can't actually see me. I lift my hood the same time he lifts the sack from Jacob s head.

His smile drops, his eyes land on the gun in my hand and then they meet my eyes. "Edward Jr survives..." he does this nervous little laugh.

"You killed your own friend?" He asks incredulously.

"Jacob Black was never my friend. Besides, I didn't kill him." I move to stand and motion for him to sit.

He gets comfortable, crossing his legs. "I always told him that girl would be the death of him."

I smirk, "He's not the only one she killed."

His smile falters again, "I guess she s a perfect fit for this family after all. Who has she killed other than Jacob?"

Now it's my turn to smile, "She killed your brother..."

He interrupts, "Marcus is outside." he sneers.

I laugh, "Your baby brother... Caius."

I watch as his eyes widen, his look turns murderous. "I'm going to kill that little bitch, and I'll make you watch! He shouts as he starts to stand.

"I don't fucking think so," I say, pulling the trigger. Aro flies backward, toppling over the chair before lying limp. My heart is beating so loud in my ears; the whooshing sound is all I can hear.

"Aro!" I hear a strangled yell from outside. Emmett comes barreling down the stairs.

"Grab this dead fuck," I tell Emmett. He lift's Aro's body like its nothing and follows me to the door.

This shit is risky, with cops running around and Aro's crew still out there, but I continue walking and laugh at the site in front of me.

Jasper has the barrel of his gun pressed into Marcus's head; he's on his knees with his eyes wide.

"I figured since Bella got one and Edward got the other that I'd save this fuck for you, Emmett." He smiles at my brother.

Emmett looks to me, and I nod. "Bring him inside," Emmett says.

Once in the living room, I watch, as Emmett turns even bloodier as he literally beats the life out of Marcus. When he stops, he turns towards me, and I see the anger turn to relief. But then I see him sway, and my heart clenches as I rush forward and catch him before he hits the floor.

"It's over," he whispers. "It's over, and they're gone, and they're never coming back."

I know he's not talking about the Volturi ... He means our parents. "You still have me, you will always have me," I tell him as a sob from deep in his chest escapes. He grips me in a bear hug as I hold on for dear life. My eyes sting with tears and my chest burns from lack of oxygen. The second I suck in a breath my own strangled sob escapes me.

This is it, our breaking point.

Emmett, my brother, is one of the strongest people I know both physically and emotionally. It breaks me further to see how much he's been holding back.

I don't know how long we sit there, holding on to each other but when Jasper speaks, it sounds much too loud.

"Where is Alice?" He asks.

"Panic room, with Bella," I say.

Bella, she's safe now.

She can be free.

Emmett releases me, "Go ahead, go get your girl."

I stand and head for the basement door, Jasper, and Carlisle hot on my trail. I punch in the code that lets me into the room, and the second the door opens, she is in my arms.

*Remember*

Bella's POV

If anyone would have asked me where I saw myself six weeks ago, it definitely wouldn't have been here with the Cullen family, killing for revenge. Now that I'm here, there's no place I'd rather be. The things I've done were necessary ... kill or be killed.

The Cullens are a real family; they have each other s backs all the time, and I admire and respect them for that.

I watched as Janey gathered some of her belongings, things that were irreplaceable. They have Esme out in a van that looks suspiciously like an ambulance on the inside. The boys gathered all the dead, but not including their own. They're taking them back to their families. The rest are placed in the middle of the house before dousing the floor in gasoline. We stand outside and watch for less than a minute as it goes up in flames.

Someone, a soldier, looks on from the shadows, making sure the place stayed lit, and that all the evidence is destroyed.

Carlisle, Jasper, Alice, and Janey all go with Esme to a different safe house, but for whatever reason, Edward, Garrett, and Emmett take me to a motel.

"Okay, I've booked two rooms right across from each other. We just have to figure out how to get you two bloody fools in without getting noticed." Garrett says to Edward and Emmett.

Edward is less noticeable thanks to the giant hoody, but Emmett is still shirtless. Even if he puts a shirt on, his arms and face are covered in blood.

"Do you have a hoody like Edward's?" I ask as Edward pulls his up to cover his face.

They look around before Garrett just tosses his to Emmett. "It's not as big, but it should help, just keep your head down, we'll go in the back way." I'm sure we all look like crap.

We all follow Garrett's lead, and we manage to make it into the place without anyone seeing us. Edward and I head into one room after Garrett gets all our sizes so he can go shop; he's the only one who doesn't look as if he just stepped out of a war zone. Our bags were left in the vehicles at his place, and they've sent someone to try and retrieve them.

"Go take a shower, I'll order pizza," Edward says turning to the window. "We can talk later."

I don't argue, I can't make things any harder on him. After what happened last night, today, and so many weeks ago, he's in pain, and I would give anything to take just a little of it away for him. If he needs time to process, I'll wait.

When I'm almost through with my shower, I hear a knock on the door. "Yeah?" I call out, heart racing.

"I have clothes for you." Edward's muffled voice comes through the door, slightly calming the fear in my heart.

I'm not ready to get out yet, but the shower door is glass, completely see through. My heart speeds up for a different reason.

"Um, it's unlocked," I say.

A minute passes before the door slowly opens and he steps in, looking away from the shower. He clearly showered already, probably in Emmett's room.

"You can put them over by the towel," I say.

He looks around before spotting my towel, just never in my direction. He walks over and places a bag down, then turning, he meets my eyes. They flicker down, roaming over my body before meeting my eyes again. I can feel the blush warm through me.

I think he's getting ready to leave when he steps closer. He opens the shower door, and swallowing hard, he holds out his hand towards me. I don't hesitate to take it, and he doesn't hesitate to pull me from the shower, directly into his arms.

His lips meet mine, hot and passionately. My hands reach up to his damp hair, and I hold on to him. His hands reach down my naked body, lifting me by my waist. I wrap my legs around him as he carries me out of the shower room and into the bedroom. I pull his shirt off before he lays me down gently on the bed. I'm careful of the wound on his arm, but it's hard when I want to feel all of him.

His teeth come down on my bottom lip before lightly sucking on it, making me moan. Somehow, he loses his jeans, and the only clothing between us are his boxers.

He leaves me gasping for air as his lips attach to my neck. His hands stop short of my breasts, resting on my ribs. He's throbbing hard on my thigh.

"Fuck, fuck, Bella..." he's out of breath, but his next words are desperate and clear. I need you ... I need you so fucking bad." but he's shaking his head slightly and I don't like that.

My heart clenches, "You can have me," I whisper in his ear. "You can have any part of me or ... You can have all of me, take whatever you need."

I meant it; I would give Edward whatever he needed. He lifts his head and looks down at me. So many emotions flashing through his eyes and I watch as they change color, they change from that dark smoldering forest green to a bright emerald green with flecks of gold. "I need you, just you."

I nod, "I need you, too."

The second I finish saying it, Edward's lips are on mine. He presses into me causing me to moan. I pull down his boxers the best I can, and when I can't reach any further, he pushes them off. He snakes a hand between us and rubs himself against me, spreading the wetness before slightly pushing in.

"Say it ...," he says breathlessly.

"I need you, Edward."

Moans escape us both as he sinks into me. This feeling is more than I ever expected, my past is nothing compared to my present and hopefully my future.

*Remember*

I woke a few times during the night or day, I'm not sure what time it is anymore, only to find Edward in my arms or vice versa. Every time I woke, he would too and his lips never failed to find mine. I don't know how many times Edward made love to me and fucked me senseless but it's the best time of my life and I really hope it means something to him too.

I catch my reflection in the mirror after we decided we should check in with everyone else and I can't help but smile at the girl staring back. She looks the same but different. My hair is a curly, wild mess, and my eyes are bright. I poke at a few bruises along my hips and the love bite on my lower chest and laugh, I thought Edward couldn't hold me tight enough, but there's the proof. I take a quick shower and dress as fast as possible to meet Edward in our room.

"Ready?" he asks, taking my hand.

"Ready."

Esme is recovering nicely, she's awake and talking so, we're all relieved.

Word of what we've done has apparently traveled quickly throughout the crime world, and Carlisle is nervous of retaliations coming our way. The Volturi family had ties everywhere and some very loyal partners. Carlisle wants us back home in New York as quick as possible.

"What about me?" I decide to ask Alice as the men arrange travel plans.

"You're coming with us, duh," she says like it's obvious.

I shrug, "I just thought with them dead now..."

"There's still a danger out there and until we're sure they won t be trying to even the score you're with us."

I nod, "I'm going to miss you so badly when this is all over." I tell Alice honestly. I'll miss all of them.

"We can keep in touch. You're family to me, Bella. You always will be." She pulls me into a death grip of a hug. "You've done so much for my family, you've brought justice to my aunt and uncle, and you ve saved my mom." she tightens at that, "You brought Edward back to his old self. I absolutely love you, Bella."

I sniffle, "I love you too Alice."

A throat clearing breaks us apart. "We're going home, girls," Carlisle says with a slight smile. I think he may have heard part of our conversation.

"Let's get out of here."
