A/N: If you don't like the characters or plot, then don't read. This is slightly AU as fair as Lana and their ancestry and stuff like that. But the main premise will not change.

Chapter 13

Your Fault

Bella stormed in, "Edward, I said leave me alone!" She yelled as both Charlie and Lana looked up.

"Bella, don't do this, please!" Edward begged.

"It's over, get out!" Bella slammed the door in his face with Charlie running up to comfort his eldest as Lana ran to the door, opening it to see a very normal-looking Edward, who grabbed her around the curvy waist and in a flash, Lana was whisked up, through Bella's window and carefully set on the ground.

"Stay hidden." Edward breathed before flattening himself against the wall next to the door, so only Bella could see him as Lana lay down, out of view from her father.

"-I just gotta get out of here, I'm leaving, now." Bella said, storming into her bedroom before she slammed the door in his face.

Instantly, all three snapped to action as Edward easily flashed around the room, grabbing Bella's things. 'What the hell is going on?' Lana thought to Edward.

"We got too careless. Vampire tracker after Bella, need to keep Charlie out of it." Edward breathed back and with that, Lana knew what was going on and stared at Edward with the most murderous glare she could muster, before she helped her sister pack her things.

There was a knock at the door, "Bella?"

"What am I going to say to him?" Bella asked, worried and concerned, "I can't hurt him." Lana stopped, knowing what had to happen.

"You just have to." Edward touched her arm softly, "We'll be down by the truck." He grabbed Lana and in an instant, they were in the truck, with her in the back.

Lana grabbed him by the shirt, 'you're making a stop in my room and getting my bat, no questions asked and then, you're going to leave a note on the dining table and the back door open, like I've chased after you. Hide my bike somewhere where Dad won't see. Got it?' With blazing hazel eyes, she thought-growled every word. Edward nodded and quicker than lightning, everything she had asked for was done and she hid, on the floor between the backseat and the front, cradling her bat as Bella stormed out of the house and threw everything into the wagon, carefully avoiding her little sister from being detected as she gunned it down the road.

When it was safe to come out, Lana slid upward, still holding her bat, "you told him about Mum, didn't you?" Her voice was low, melancholic. Bella didn't even need to answer, Lana already knew. She always knew.

Bella looked in the rearview mirror to see her sister, looking fearless and on guard, like an Amazonian warrior with a sword, ready to do battle, but instead of being Amazonian, ancestral native blood ran through her veins, more so than Bella, and instead of a sword, she wielded a wooden bat.

Lana was always stronger than Bella, ever since they were children playing on the playground and the boy that had first pulled Bella's hair, ended up in the nurse's office after Lana was done with him. Bella knew it and always wanted Lana close, because she felt safe with her baby sister by her side, but this time, she couldn't help but feel like she had made a mistake.

Lana would always protect her big sister, until her last breath and that was what Bella was afraid of.

(..)

The drive to the house was full of tension as the Cullen children protected James' intended target, Bella.

Entering the Cullen house, Edward, Bella and Lana encountered a dark-skinned vampire with dreadlocks coming downstairs, Edward started to hiss, but Carlisle silenced him, "wait! He came to warn us, about James." The patriarch of the Cullen family informed them.

"That's this vampire tracker's name?" Lana asked, her jaw clenching.

"Yes." Carlisle answered, "thank you for coming, Lana, I truly appreciate it."

Lana nodded, before turning to the unknown vampire, who was staring at her oddly before turning to Edward, "this isn't my fight and I've grown tired of his games. But he has unparalleled senses, absolutely lethal, I've never seen anything like him in my three hundred years, and the woman, Victoria, don't underestimate her." He informed them before leaving the house altogether.

"Okay, what the hell?" Lana asked, clutching her baseball tighter, "I demand to know what the hell is going on, right now."

"I'll fill you in." Rosalie murmured, taking Lana by the elbow gently and leading her to the garage.

(..)

"Oh my God." Lana sighed, hopelessly, sitting on the bench of the Cullen's garage as Rosalie finished filling her in.

"I've had to fight our kind before, not easy to kill-"

"but not impossible." Emmett finished as they opened one of the cupboards, "we'll tear him apart and burn the pieces." The thought made Lana sick to her stomach.

"I don't relish the thought of killing another creature, even a sadistic one like James." Carlisle commented as they all roamed about the garage, getting everything they needed.

Rosalie sat next to Lana, "what if he kills one of us first?"

"I thought you guys were supposed to be crazy strong?" Lana asked, the heels of her feet kicking the back of the pristine cupboards.

"Even we have trouble fighting our own kind, Lana, just like you have the same troubles with yours." Rosalie gently stated, smiling softly to the fifteen-year-old, who smiled back, still cradling the baseball bat to her large bosom.

"I'm gonna run Bella south, can you lead the tracker away from here?" Edward asked.

"No, Edward, James knows you'd never leave Bella, he'll follow you." Carlisle stated as Lana bit her lip.

"I'll go with Bella and Lana. Jasper and I will drive them south, and with Lana's blood having a thicker scent than Bella's, it should be harder for him to find out where we are. I'll keep her safe, Edward."

"Can you keep your thoughts to yourself?"

"Yes." Alice answered before taking Bella and Lana with her in the car and everything was muffled from that point on.

As soon as Lana settled in the car, she fell asleep, her body relaxing somewhat as her eyes slid closed, replenishing her mind and body as it was very close to one in the morning.

Bella looked to her sister in irritation, 'I'm the one in trouble and she's fallen asleep?'

(..)

Jasper didn't mean to wake her so soon, but as soon as her hazel eyes opened he knew it couldn't be helped. Lana looked around, only to see that she was being cradled by Jasper. Oddly enough, she didn't find it nearly as harrowing if it had been Edward carrying her. "Y'know, you could have woken me up when we got here."

"Seemed to peaceful, I didn't want to. You're only fifteen, you need your rest." Jasper answered, gently setting the young Swan to her feet on the ground of the hallway in the hotel in Phoenix they had arrived at.

Lana yawned, stretching, "that's your vampiric way of calling me a child isn't it?"

"In a way, it's just that you're very young and this must not be easy for you." Jasper watched Lana's eyebrows slowly crease as her tired expression faded and was left with an alert but tense face that made Lana look older than what she really was.

"That stopped mattering to me the moment Bella was in danger." Lana's jaw clenched before they entered the room that they booked.

After a little bit, they were sitting in the living room, Lana's knee bouncing as she sat next to Jasper and Bella on the ottoman, just as Alice gasped.

"What is it? What do you see?" Jasper asked, holding onto Alice gently. She was having a vision.

"The tracker, he just changed course." Alice revealed and the tension heightened as Lana's breath picked up, her heart thumping in her chest.

"Where will it take him, Alice?" Jasper quickly grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil for his mate to draw, putting the paper in front of her and the pencil in her hand.

Alice started to draw, her eyes unseeing, looking into the future of James as she spoke, "Mirrors, a room full of mirrors." Her eyebrows creased in confusion.

Bella had moved and was now in front of them, "Edward said the visions weren't always certain."

"Yeah, the future can always change, right?" Lana asked.

"Yeah, Alice just sees the course the people are on when they're on it, if they change their minds, the vision changes. Nothing is for certain." Jasper explains.

"So the course the tracker's on now, is going to lead him to a ballet studio?" Bella questioned, both Swan girls looking down at the familiar place that Alice was sketching at heightened speeds.

She stopped instantly, her gold eyes flicking to Bella, "you've been here?"

"I took lessons as a kid, the school I went to had an arch just like that." Bella observed, pointing to the sketched arch.

"Holy crap, you're right." Lana breathed, looking up at Bella.

"Was your school here in Phoenix?" Jasper asked.

"Yeah-" Bella's phone started to vibrate and she walked away to answer it privately, so Lana moved to face both Alice and Jasper.

"What exactly does that mean, if he's going to Bella's studio?"

"It could mean a multitude of things. It could be a coincidence, or he's that fixated on Bella that he's willing to do anything to get her there." Alice explained, looking at Lana with the same worried expression.

Lana's lips tightened at the frightening prospect of the second option, "I don't know about you, but to me, that feels like a vampire tracker's M.O."

"Same here, which is why we're leaving tonight, at dusk before he can catch up." Jasper decided and both girls nodded.

Later that night, Lana walked out of the hotel, watching the car pull up by the valet but no Bella was anywhere in sight, "hey, where's Bella?" Turning to the two vampires that approached behind her, she asked them.

Alice nodded to Jasper who ran back in and like a flash, was back out again, considering there wasn't that many people left outside since it was nearing night. "She's not anywhere in the hotel or around it." Jasper answered, worry deepening every line of his face as Lana's breathing quickened into pants as she dug for her phone and quickly punched in Bella's number.

The only problem was that it went straight to voicemail.

"Oh God, Bella! Please pick up! Pick up, damn it!" Lana tried Bella's number half a dozen times but it always went to voicemail each time, she whirled to Alice, "can you see anything?"

Alice's eyes became blank and unseeing before they widened into shock, "she's going to the ballet studio! She thinks your mother's in trouble."

"We're going! NOW!" Lana roared as all three ran for the car and Jasper sped away from the hotel and gunned it down the road toward the city toward Mimi's School of Dance.

"I'll call Edward on the way." Alice murmured, whipping out her phone almost blindingly fast.

'I'm coming, Bella.' Lana thought vehemently, tears dripping down her cheeks, 'I'm sorry I failed you.'

(..)

James snapped her leg like it was a twig. "Tell Edward and little Lana how much it hurts." James' gleeful voice was drowned out by Bella's agonized screams, "tell them to avenge you!"

"No! Don't!" Bella screamed, cradling her broken leg, the pain too much to bear. She didn't want Edward and especially not Lana to avenge her death, it wasn't worth it.

"Tell them! TELL THEM!" James roared, but he was cut off by a hard body slamming into him, throwing him off his feet but he quickly recovered to look at what caught him off guard so effortlessly and was surprised when he was face-to-face with Edward Cullen and fifteen-year-old Alana Grace Swan bursting through the open ballroom doors, looking wild.

Her baseball bat slung over her shoulder and a menacing glare all over her face, rage coursing through her veins to the point where her entire body was trembling, "get the hell away from my sister, you undead freak." Lana roared, pointing the bat menacingly at the tracker vampire.

James looked to Lana, a childlike look of joy gleamed in his eyes, "oh, a new plaything!"

"In your dreams, fangboy." Lana spat angrily, her grip tightening around the bat as she heard the creak of her skin against the wood, hazel eyes blazing in rage as she watched her sister writhe in pain. "I'm going to rip you apart!" Her voice was clear, confident, like she was capable of ripping a vampire to pieces, when they were (according to lore) 'harder than diamond'.

Tonight, she was going to prove that theory wrong.

She was going to kill Edward for this, after she made quick work of James.

James stalked toward her, relishing the sound of the younger Swan's rapid heartbeat. His head twisted to the side as he sniffed the air, a delighted grin curled his lips. "Ah, a blood guardian. Let's see how you taste." Baring his teeth, he sped toward Lana, but she didn't flinch.

She knew what she had to do.

Lifting the bat up into position, Lana watched the blur that was James and with quick precision, she swung and screaming in exertion as the bat made incredible contact with James' face, feeling the wood splinter in the middle as she pushed through the force of James' body and swung with her all her might and the tracker went flying in the opposite direction. Stumbling to his feet, his face had a large crack stemming from his jaw and it branched all along the right side of his face and down his neck like cracked marble, he looked at the younger Swan with a shocked look on his broken face, "you aren't getting a drop out of me, Fabio."

Turning, Lana was distracted by Edward, who was enthralled by the blood on Bella's hand.

Her blood.

Unfortunately, that momentary distraction was enough for James to recover and starting forward, Bella didn't have a chance to warn Lana as her little sister was thrown against the wall of mirrors and he came after Edward, slamming him against one of the mirrored columns.

"Lana? Lana!" Bella's panicked screaming slowly pulled Lana out of her stunned reverie as she slowly lifted her head to look up at her sister, cuts and scratches adorning her face from the shards of glass that dug into her light russet skin.

"You're alone, because your faster than the others," James snarled before ramming Edward's head into the column, cracking the glass, "but not stronger."

"I'm strong enough to kill you." Edward vowed, pushing James away from him violently before kicking the tracker as hard as he possibly could, before running to get both Bella and Lana off the ground and into his arms. "I'm sorry." He whispered to both injured Swan girls.

Lana felt the rush of air as Edward jumped, but it stopped and suddenly, both Lana and Bella were thrown to the ground as Edward was launched into a nearby window. Lana's body skidded before her head hit a column, dazing her once again and she watched on helplessly as James moved toward Bella, who was whimpering on the ground.

"No! Get away from her!" Slowly getting up from the ground, Lana could feel a hot, rushing feeling along the back of her neck, but the adrenaline in her body kicked in and she stumbled for James and she could just make out the tracker grabbing Bella's arm. "NO!"

But Lana was too late and heard the lush sound of him biting into the flesh of her wrist and she screamed along with her sister.

The rest was a blur.

Running to Bella and cutting her knees on broken shards of glass, she cradled her sister's head in her lap as she screamed and writhed on the ground as the venom started to work its way through her veins.

Tears blurred Lana's vision as she tried to get Bella to listen to her, to even see her, but nothing was working and she held Bella's arms down, as not to hurt herself. She didn't know when Alice and Jasper had come with Emmett and Carlisle and honestly, Lana didn't care, she pressed her forehead against Bella's sobbing quietly as the Cullen's conversation slowly began to pour into her ears, "-you can try to suck the venom out."

"You know I won't be able to stop!" Edward growled.

"Then find the will to stop. But choose, she only has minutes left." Carlisle answered, his tone urgent.

Edward was reluctant, he could kill the only woman he had ever loved, but this was the only way to save her. "I'm gonna make it go away, Bella. I'm going to make it go away." He reassured her, before taking her arm gently.

Jasper quickly came forward and took Lana by the arms, enduring her thrashing, "no! Don't take me away from her! Let me go! She needs me!" Lana's sobs were drowned out as Jasper enveloped her in a tight embrace.

Edward needed to do this on his own.

Lana watched as Edward wrapped his lips around the bite James made and started to suck the blood that had mingled with the venom out, he looked disgusted by it, the taste of the venom that had started to convert Bella's blood but soon, Lana watched as Edward turned and moaned into her sister's wrist. Bella's screams had quietened down, but what Carlisle said was terrifying, "Edward, her blood is clean, you're killing her!" Edward gripped Bella's arm possessively, clutching at it as if Bella would try to pull away if she had enough strength. "Edward, stop. . stop."

"Find the will."

'Please, don't hurt her anymore.'

(..)

Lana watched her sister, sleeping peacefully on the floor of the studio as Carlisle made preparations for Bella to be transferred to Phoenix hospital quietly as he also made sure that the bleeding had stopped.

Jasper had let go of Lana a while ago to help Emmett and Alice burn James' body, but the fifteen-year-old never moved from her place just as Edward never moved from his, but that was until her hazel eyes swept over Edward's statue-like form. Lana's fists clenched, she hadn't felt anything in a while and rage seemed like a perfect emotion right now. He did this. He did this to Bella, all of this was his fault and he had to pay for it!

Storming forward to Edward, Lana picked up her bat with ease and Lifting it high, she swung with all her might and smashed it into Edward's face, watching as the, cracked but still sturdy, wooden weapon burst into splinters around the granite texture of his skull, but that didn't stop Edward's head from snapping violently back, a large crack forming along his face.

"THAT'S FOR BREAKING YOUR PROMISE!" Lana roared, her raven hair like a wild mane that framed her face as she threw the remains of the bat down, ignoring the audience that gathered. "You promised to take care of her! Is this what you call it?!" She screamed, pushing at Edward, "you promised my father and you promised me!" Her voice cracked, becoming hoarse, "I should do worse than this, but I can't and it tears me up inside to know that I can't! I can't even protect my sister from your kind!" Her breaths turned into heaving sobs as Edward's face slowly healed as his eyes followed Lana sadly. "You don't even know how that feels, not being able to protect a sibling, especially one you've protected all your life, having to put your life on hold for hers! You have no idea what it's like, to let her down! To leave on death's door and not having the knowledge to save her!" Lana angrily swiped the tears away, "damn you! DAMN YOU!"

Lana launched herself at Edward, punching and kicking at every spot that was available to her, cursing him and spitting every expletive she knew in English and any other language she knew until she could hardly lift her fist before Edward's arms slowly came around her small frame, resting his cheek on her head. Lana didn't have the strength to push him away and instead, gripped at his shirt, sobbing heartbrokenly in his chest, screaming and crying hysterically.

Edward held her close, rocking the young girl back and forth like a big brother would, letting her hot tears seep into his shirt.

"I'm sorry."
