Summary: She was supposed to be dead. He witnessed her death.
He was supposed to be dead. She witnessed his death.
So how are both of them alive if the other one saw them die?
Why does their creator want them back?
Me and Bella walk slowly back into the house, both of us ashamed and embarrassed that we let Major and Izzy reign control over us.
Alice, Rose and Esme all embrace us the second we enter the living room. Bella holds onto Esme longer than I did but Esme doesn't seem to mind. Bella sits next to me, her head on my shoulder.
"I know this is a stupid question to ask but why is Maria after you guys, and why now, why after all this time away from her?" Edward asks. Me and Bella both sigh before Bella answers. "We wish we knew, Edward but with Maria, it could be for a number of different reasons, but the question is how does she know that we're alive and who told her and how long has she known that we've been alive? Because she wouldn't have just found out, she's known for a long time and was waiting for something to happen before she could attack us, or recruit us again.." Bella trails off with a loud gasp, her eyes wild. She looks at me. "Jazz, we're known as the God and Goddess of War, she'll want to make examples of what happens when couples are in her army, and what better way to make examples of than the God and Goddess of War?" Her voice trembles as she looks at her scarred arms. "And she won't kill us first, she'll use every torture thing she has, keep us separated then kill us when we're weak and can't fight back." I pull Bella into my side.
"Jasper, I can't go through that again, I won't survive it this time, we both know I won't. I won't go back to her. I'll throw myself into a fire if it means not going back to her." I growl at the last sentence. "You are not committing suicide, Isabella, how many times have we discussed this?" Bella looks at me with fire in her eyes.
"You have no idea what I went through the decades after you died!" She rages. She gets to her feet, staring at me with her hands on her hips. "No idea, Jasper, what she did to me! So if I want to jump into a fucking fire then I'll fucking jump, regardless of what you say because news flash Jasper, I'm not that broken, abused, raped girl that you found in that alley, I'm stronger now so if I want kill the woman who made us lose each other then I'm going to fucking kill her with or without your help, you know that I can easily kill you if I wanted to." I sigh before nodding. "Alright Bella, alright, do what you want but don't expect me to save your ass if she decides to light it on fire." I snap harshly. Bella growls and throws up her arms.
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
I zoom up to my room and slam the door shut. I sink onto the couch and bury my head in my hands.
"Why did I say that Bella, my other half?" I ask myself.
