A/N – I decided that since I couldn't stop writing that I wouldn't, I have the chance to get as much of this story out as possible.
Started another story Beyond Reason, trying my hand at a Bella/Emmett story
Happy Reading
DISCLAIMER - ALL CHARACTERS BELONG TO STEPHANIE MEYERS.
STORYLINE BELONGS TO ME.
Walking through the door I call out for Charlie and it takes me a moment to realize that the room reeks of blood, freshly spilled blood, so much of it my senses were shot. I look back out the window thinking how odd it is that Charlie doesn't answer, and then my foot hits the lamp that should have been in the living room on the end table next to the couch.
I feel a breeze and finally focus on the scent of blood as a chill runs through me; I hear whimpering and realize that it's me as I slowly make my way further into the room. I weep louder at the squishing sound under my foot and look up to see the room splattered in blood, completely torn about as if a bear has charged through the room.
I gasp in shock, trembling as my eyes dart to where Charlie is lying in the middle of the room next to what's left of the couch. I slide to my knees as my mind fights against the image in front of me, but still I reach out whispering brokenly, "Daddy?" My mind shatters and becomes numb as I realize that I never got the chance to say my final goodbye. Unthinkingly I crawl through the blood not noticing that it's soaking into my clothes and pull him halfway into my lap as I wail in agony at the top of my lungs.
I sit there for Goddess knows how long as my mind shuts down flooding with anguish, I completely forget everything else even the fact that I am pregnant and nothing penetrates the black void that has wholly consumed me. I stumble up and out the back door into the woods not knowing where I am going until I unknowingly reach a cliff with the sea crashing violently against the rocks below.
I fall to my knees screaming over and over again while the mantra "I invoke thee Athena, I invoke thee Athena, I invoke thee Athena, Fill me with your power" plays subconsciously in my head. As I continue to scream in a violent and fury filled haze, my body is set ablaze with fire as I keep seeing Charlie laying there surrounded by all that blood. Every scream of pain and fury summons more clouds to appear, as well as thunder and lightning shooting through the sky, the more I cry the more rain and hail that pours down in buckets drenching everything.
I am engulfed in a tornado of wind sitting right in the middle as the storm my emotions has created rages around me. Then lightning strikes me and I am filled with so much power, the power of the Goddess Athena, in my grief and rage I forgot that I am pregnant. With the first strike of lightning a set of visions come…
Jacob snarling at Jasper as he cradles me in his arms……..Jacob in a corner crying rocking himself …… Edward as he hangs in midair…….then him screaming in pain……….
With every strike of lightning comes another set of vision…
Jasper and Emmett as they rip the limbs off the red haired woman who killed Charlie while I watch ……Jasper holding the babies in each of his arms as he smiles proudly
Strike
Jasper cradling me in arms as we make love for the first time after I give birth…….Biting me at the height of our passionate embrace…..Jasper whispering how much he loves me as I burn in my transformation for one day
Strike
Looking into a mirror as a vampire transformed and happy……watching my children playing in the forest as we all hunt….Alice reconciling with the family after her time away
Strike
Edward angry at my form of justice……Edward going to the Volturri…… three men in white robes....Jacob starring entranced at my baby daughter
Babies POV
Hold my hand sister, close your eyes feel the power and know that it will be okay as I close my eyes and tighten my hold on my sister's hand feeling the first shock of lightning pass through Mommy to us as the power flows through all of us.
Jasper POV
Sitting my study reading a book as I waited for Bella, I am immediately knocked out of the chair and to my knees with the onslaught of rage, fury and agony that ripped through me. "NO!" I roar in agony and despair as an image of Bella screaming at the end of a cliff struck my lighting flashes across my mind, and I fear for the babies that she carries, I CAN'T lose Bella or my children.
"NO!!! Bella!!!" I whimper brokenly as clouds appear then thunder and lightning as I struggle to my feet and streak out the house quickly flanked by Emmett and Rose. I roar "FIND HER!" before running as fast as I could to her house. I didn't even need to enter to realize what had happened to know that a vampire was responsible. I call the police for appearances sake and because someone needs to take care of Charlie while I take care of Bella.
Even before I enter I can smell the blood and while I am joyous that is not Bella's, I am still heartbroken to realize that it belongs to Charlie, then I notice something odd – one of Bella's shirts that she mentioned she was missing in torn apart and laying at Charlie's feet, the odd part being that it reeks of Edward and another vampire's scent. The scent is not one I recognize but as soon as I find them both I will rip them to shreds for causing pain to my beloved, as well as anyone else involved. I roar in fury because I now have proof that Edward caused the grief that my sweet Bella is in, so I grab the shirt and put it in a bag to take with me.
I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket and whip it out to see a text from Rose.
Found her at First Beach Cliffs. HURRY!!!
Just as I'm streaking out the back door that has been torn off its hinges, claw marks dug in deep – I whimper in despair unable to imagine how much pain she is in as her vision has come to pass, all I can think about is that she didn't have enough time with him. I find it odd that the storm does not even touch the house, but I shake off my own pain and confusion focusing on Bella knowing that if I don't reach her in time I will lose her forever.
As I run I wonder who it was that had killed Charlie, I know Edward is involved but in what context I'm not sure, was it because his and our scents are over the house, was it an act of revenge by another vampire that knew us and Charlie is just a random victim. Somehow I knew it wasn't because Bella's shirt was left as a message, but to whom I will find out later. As I enter the edge of the forest I have to lean forward because the wind is whipping up everything in its path.
I am unhindered by the severe wind storm and rain, I start to pick up Rose and Emmett's scent as I feel their anxiety, love and fear for Bella – then I feel Bella's emotions flow smoothly between rage, despair and a thick black void of nothingness. The storm gets worse with the wind picking up, hail and rain are falling hard – a tsunami has struck Forks and everything within a 100 mile radius. I have to claw my way towards Rose and Emmett hanging onto a tree a little ways from Bella, whose stills screaming at the top of her lungs at the edge of the cliff. I take a moment to look over at Bella who is inside a tornado of wind and realize that is why they can't get closer to her.
"What happened?!?!" yells Rose.
"A vampire killed Charlie!" I yell back as both Rose and Emmett hiss and growl in fury.
I claw myself closer to them, huddling together next to the tree and say loudly, "Find Carlisle and Esme let them know what happened and make sure Carlisle calls the wolves, and get them to run a patrol around Forks as well as La Push to see if they can find the scent, make sure he tells them that it was not us then have Carlisle meet me here."
"I'll try to talk her down" I say as I turn around to see her getting struck by lightning for the first time, but instead of falling down she seems to glow. I hear Rose and Emmett gasp in horror as they watch her get struck by lightning repeatedly. "BELLA!!!" I scream in terror and agony as I claw my way towards her again, attempting to get her attention even for a moment as the bag with the shirt in it slips free from my grasp.
I inhale sharply as Emmett reaches out to catch it smelling the vampire scents through the plastic bad, hearing the both of them snarling and growling in rage in recognition of one scent. We didn't have time for that right now so I growl at them, "All will be revealed in time. NOW GO! Get Carlisle!" as I move closer, clawing and digging holes in the ground as I fight the wind to get to Bella – beautiful, sweet, compassionate, kind hearted, intelligent Bella, she didn't deserve this.
I get close enough to actually see that the tornado surrounding Bell, struggling in agony under the assault of her fury, rage and grief. I dig myself in calling her, "Bella!?!? Bella!?!? Please let me help you! Bella, I'm sorry about Charlie, we'll find his killer I promise you that. Please!! Darlin' come back to me, think about the babies. I don't want to lose you or the babies like this, Bella please!!!"
I close my eyes against the wind, hail and rain concentrating all of my energy on sensing her emotions, but I come up against a void, like a large black hole gasping in shock realizing that's exactly how I felt when I became a vampire and realized the life I had was dead to me. The only difference was that I could feel the hole consuming Bella – the most self sacrificing human being that I have had the honor of meeting. I realize my power has become ineffective unless I can make her feel something or just anything at this point.
Just as I attempt to try again I feel Carlisle's fear for Bella and the babies as he approaches behind me so I let myself be whipped back towards him, anchoring myself to the same tree he's at – only mildly paying attention that it's not the one where the shirt is hidden. Being in close proximity with him enables me to talk to him without yelling.
"I can't feel anything from her, there's a black hole where her emotions are supposed to be. There hole is so deep and strong that I can't even push in to give her any emotions."
"I stopped by the house right before the police showed up and I recognize the scents there, one is Edward's, the other is Victoria's and then there is one that I don't recognize. I'm guessing that she was looking for Bella and attacked Charlie instead; I made sure that I stayed long enough to give them the impression that it was a bear attack. They also think it might be related to the serial murder from Seattle since a couple of the attacks have happened close to Forks."
"Also this storm that she has created reaches all the way there and then some, it's on the reservation as well. I spoke with Billy and he has the wolves out running the perimeter of the reservation as well as Forks, and I agreed with him to null the boundary lines in order to capture her and whoever was with her. Billy and Jacob are at Charlie's house trying to get the search started for Bella, they think she was also attacked as well. We need to calm her down or sedate her one so we can get her back to the house, let them know she is okay physically. Rose and Emmett told me that she was struck by lightning several times as well as glowing, but I can still hear her heart beat as well as the babies going strong."
"I can't get her calm there's a black hole where her emotions should be, my ability is not working on her when she is like this, so we're going to have to sedate her, not enough to put her out but just enough to calm her down and end the storm." Carlisle pulls out a needle with some clear liquid in it, "Small dose of Diazepam" he says.
Lightning strikes her once more before the storm really starts to get out of hand as I growl, "Give me the needle Carlisle give it to me now!" Holding the needle gently between my lips I claw my way towards her until I am crouching behind her in the eye of the tornado. I reach out and cradle her in my arms holding her tightly as she starts to thrash about attempting to buck out of my arms.
"I'm so, so sorry Darlin'" I say as I inject her with the sedative, watching her the entire time while little by little the storm ceases as I sit there with her in my arms rocking back and forth whispering how sorry I am and that I won't leave her or the babies. Watching the tears roll silently down her face as she sadly gazes at me whimpering, "Jasper he's dead" repeatedly, breaking her gaze for a moment to glance up to see clouds still in the sky as the storm settles down to a light sprinkle.
Carlisle is finally able to walk up to us and I see Esme wringing her hands as she looks down at Bella in sympathy. "Let's get her back to the house so that I can check the babies, this can't be good for them or for her health. I'll call Jacob and the others to let them know we found her and are on our way."
"Maybe we should stop by her house first so they can see she's okay and stop the search for her but continue the search for Charlie's "killer," then we can take her to our house to check her and the babies."
"Good idea Jasper, let's go the sooner the better," Carlisle says.
Standing up and cradling Bella in my arms bridal style I start running to her house, stopping only when I get to the edge of the backyard and see Jacob running towards us.
"What did you do to her!?!?!?!" Jacob snarls trying to snatch her from my arms as Bella whimpers in protest tightening her hold around my neck. He gasps when he takes the moment to see that she's pregnant then starts to tremble and shake in fury.
"Jasper, he's dead" Bella whimpers then starts crying again and the sound of her tears causes Jacob to instantly calm down as he focuses on truly seeing Bella and how devastated she is, his face crumbling in agony and despair.
Carlisle calmly walks closer and says, "We found her wandering around aimlessly in the woods, Jasper came over because she was supposed to meet him later for a school project. She's been struck by lightning several times but is otherwise unharmed as you can see, the blood is all Charlie's however. I had to sedate her because was becoming hysterical."
Calming down completely Jacob asks quietly, "She caused the storm, didn't she?"
Surprised Jasper responds, "Yes, that was her."
"I figured as much, you're the father, aren't you, you really love her don't you?"
"Yes, she's my life" replies Jasper quietly as he tightens his hold on her and looks down at her with a look of utter devotion and love.
"If she was struck by lightning why is she still alive? How are the babies, are they going to be okay?" Jacob asks urgently.
"We're unsure; we want to get her to the house to check on her." Carlisle says.
"Can I come with? I promise not to cause any trouble. I know what you guys are and if she trusts you, so do I. Next to Billy she's all I have left, like the sister that I never had. Charlie was all she had left, I just want to know that she's going to be okay," Jacob pleads as tears roll silently down his face and he reaches out to stroke her hair gently.
"Sure Jacob. Let's go let them know she's okay and then we can head to the house so I can examine her" says Carlisle quietly.
They all walk towards the front of the house and to speak with the police, who upon seeing the state that she's in, they agree to wait until the next day top question her and since Jacob and the Cullens vouch for her whereabouts prior to the attack they just need to find out what happened when she arrived home. They accept the story that Carlisle gives them about finding her in the woods and after getting his numbers they let him take her to his house.
On the way there I finally start to feel her emotions and I am overcome by the depth of her pain and suffering, it takes all my concentration and strength to be able to send her calming waves of tranquility which put her back to sleep. I keep her like that so that Carlisle won't have to sedate her again, she sleeps through the sonogram and I am extremely relieved to see the babies are alright. He hooks up some blood and saline solution with some added nutrients to help with the babies to keep them from drinking her blood.
After I get her settled comfortably in the guest bedroom that Esme has prepared while we were on our way, I sit with her for awhile sending her wave after wave of calm until I hear her deeper breathing letting me know that she is completely out and only then do I head downstairs to the living room where everyone is gathered. Jacob is sitting in a corner rocking gently back and forth as tears roll silently down his face; Emmett and Rose are on the other side of the room huddled together as she dry sobs quietly while Esme and Carlisle are quietly talking. Alice is by herself sitting quietly on the window seat gazing out at the forest and Edward is nowhere to be found.
I zip in front of Alice growling out quietly, "Alice I'm going to only ask this once and I swear if you lie to me, you will truly see why I am called the God of War."
She shifts quietly to look at me as I take a deep breath and close my eyes to calm myself before opening them and asking, "Did you see any part of Charlie's death happening?"
"No Jasper. I swear on my life I didn't see anything or I would have come forward as soon as I found out" Alice replies softly.
'Then where were you!?!?!?!" I roared. "Why weren't you with your family in their time of need?!?!?!?!"
"Because she was looking for answers from the source" Bella replies quietly standing at the top of the stairs. No wonder I didn't notice that she was there.
"Bella" I whisper as the fury and agony of her pain cripples me and I crumble to the floor, it hurts so much I can't move.
Bella POV
Blackness surrounds me as I hear two distinct voices whimpering in fear "Mommy, please wake up, Daddy needs us, Mommy please." Then another voice repeating a mantra, "I invoke thee Athena, I invoke thee Athena, I invoke thee Athena, Fill me with your power. Goddess of War and Chaos, lend me your strength. Fill me…FILL ME.....FILL ME ATHENA!!!!!"
My world goes from black to purple as my eyes flash open and I hear conversations from downstairs. I think "STAIRS" and there I am standing at the top of the stairs gazing down at them. As soon as I hear Jasper ask Alice where she was and not being with her family I know where she was and why, that knowledge fills me with so much fury and agony that I cripple Jasper causing him to fall to the floor.
Closing my eyes I picture a black hole and instantly the pain stops, I open my eyes to see Jasper getting to his feet taking deep breaths as he works to calm himself and the room in general.
"Bella, what happened to your emotions? I can't feel them anymore" says Jasper as he walks closer to the stairs.
"There are none" I reply calmly devoid of any emotion at all as I walk down the stairs and stand at the bottom.
"Bella, you can't ignore your feelings, Darlin', you have to deal with the grief of Charlie's death baby. This isn't good for the babies" Jasper says quietly.
"Would you have me feel what I felt before when I found Charlie, while I was at the cliffs, just now? Would you Jasper? Or would you like to get family business out of the way first? Seek justice for Charlie" I ask quietly.
"No baby, I just want to help, what can I do to help you and the babies Bella?"
"You didn't start this Jasper; Charlie's death is not your fault it's mine." Jasper and everyone else gasps in shock at this statement.
Jacob rushes forward trembling, "Bell it was not your fault!! What are you talking about!?!?! Charlie was murdered by a vampire with red hair; the pack found her scent, chased her and another vampire into the water."
At the mention of red hair Carlisle gasps in shock and staggers in pain.
"Yes, I know but she was looking for me and Charlie got in the way as a convenient target and a message."
Carlisle steps forward in anger, "No!!! She couldn't have found us. He wouldn't willingly have any contact with her."
I turn to Carlisle with eyes blazing a swirl of black and red saying, "He did."
Carlisle crumbles to the floor in pain as he realizes the truth while Esme kneels down next to him in comfort and confusion.
"WHAT!!?!?!?!" roars Emmett and Rosalie simultaneously in frustration.
"Edward" whispers Carlisle as Esme stiffens next to him.
"What. About. Edward?" snarls Rose attempting to stalk closer to Carlisle as Emmett holds her back.
"Victoria came back looking for Bella after running into Edward carrying clothes he stole from Bella's room. He lied to Victoria, telling her that Bella is his new mate and he didn't want her anymore. Victoria didn't take the news well and after leaving Edward she came looking for Bella to kill her assuming that if she wasn't in the picture Edward would come back to her. She's left James, who is also coming to find Edward to get revenge," Alice says quietly sobbing as she comes out of the vision.
The house is suddenly filled with snarls and growls of rage and fury, the sounds coming out of each one of them built until it looked like the heavens could hear them. Everyone had come to the same realization that the tragic consequences of Charlie's death were the result of Edward's obsession over Bella.
Jasper, once he has calmed himself and attempts to calm the others approaches me with his hands forward showing me that he means me no harm.
I smile madly at him as my eyes start to get blood red with black dots in the middle and saying too calmly, "I'm fine Jasper."
Jasper paces his arms around me and pulls me into a hug in hopes of getting a response from me but I say, "I will deal with Charlie's death in time, right now I'm in need of war, carnage and justice."
Although Jasper realizes how serious this moment is, I feel him send me a wave of pride and love as he realizes that this is something that I must do in order to live free in my life without the negativity of my fury at Edward's actions. He knows that I can't forgive him or forget, but that I must have justice.
"Why did you say it was your fault, Bella?" Jasper asks, but instead of answering him I project for all the scene of Edward at my house threatening Charlie if I did not go out with him.
"Charlie won't get hurt as long as you go out with me. I'll stay away from him and leave him out of this, but if you don't do as I say..."
"YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!!!" I am getting angrier at his conceit and arrogance.
"Do you realize you're family will be implicated in Charlie's death? Does your family know you're willing to sacrifice their existence for a conquest? How heartless are you, risking the lives of your family because I won't give you the time of day. The wolves would get involved because you killed a human in Forks. You would start a war with the wolves because I won't go out with you? " At this question his confidence starts to waver and is replaced by curiosity.
"Wait, how do you know about the wolves?"
"I know a lot about a lot of things you don't Edward, and the majority of these things I have already shared with your family, others I will share with Aro."
"You wouldn't?" He snarls. "Try me!!! I swear you better stay away from Charlie and stay away from me." I snarl right back.
"And if I don't?" he asks conceitedly. "Then death will be the least of your worries, as will be the confrontation with your family. I will NEVER go out with you or have anything to do with you. No matter how many times you ask, the answer will always be no because I. AM. NOT. INTERESTED!!!! NOW GET. THE. FUCK. OUT!!!!"
Growling under his breath and pissed off Edward looks every bit the vampire as he snarls, "You will regret this, you stupid human bitch. This will never be over, either you will be mine or Charlie will die" he snarls as he picks up his books and walks out.
Esme sobs, "I can't believe it, my own son" as she completely breaks down in Carlisle's arms as he just rocks her back and forth, but the look on his face contorts with rage.
"Well how about we ask him" I ask snapping my fingers and Edward appears suspended in midair. Edward looks at me in fear as I keep him floating in the air; I turn him around to face his family who look at him with disgust and fury while Carlisle and Esme couldn't even bring themselves to look at him at all, finally I turn him around to face me again.
"Hello Edward" I say as I look at the abject fear on his face, until he looks at my belly to which I say, "Yes, pregnant with twins, Jaspers babies. My babies and my love for Jasper is the only reason you are still alive right now, but that can change at any moment" as I snap my fingers again and a small pyre appears under him. Edwards eyes widen in panic and I smile at the fact that I have never seen anyone, human or otherwise, as terrified as he is right at this moment.
"How was your meeting with Victoria? Did you know that she killed Charlie? She came looking for me and killed him instead as a message to you. Are you wondering how I know about her?" I ask snapping my fingers and conjuring all of my stolen clothing including the one that Jasper picked up that was left next to Charlie's body.
"Then there is also this," I say projecting his meeting with Victoria in the meadow.
Edward continues ranting to himself darting around the meadow until he's back in front of the pile of clothes he stole from her house
"Whose Bella baby?" a silky seductive voice asks from the edge of the meadow.
Victoria walks into the clearing from my peripheral sight. Frowning as she closes her eyes and inhales deeply several times, frowning more as she smiles evilly before opening her eyes to stare at me.
"What is that delectable scent all over you?"
Smirking and pushing her away I reply, "That is the scent of my new mate. So I won't need your lovely services anymore."
I was so stuck on myself that I did not hear the last words echoing in her head as she runs off, "I will kill that BITCH!! Then I will come back to kill him." It never crossed my mind that my decision to completely break off from Victoria would be the catalyst for things to come.
"She was really obsessed with you, like you are with me, now she's just a scorned woman on a rampage. I would have looked past the threats to Charlie because you are a member of my new family, but your selfishness was the catalyst to his death and that I can't let go. I actually entertained the idea of burning you piece by piece" I say as I spread my hand which spread eagles him as he screams in pain.
Jasper POV
I didn't want her to have to face having Edwards death on her hands as we started our future together with our children, not that I didn't want him dead and ash, but I knew what it was like to take a life and the effects you had to deal with afterwards. I love her too much to lose her to the fury that is engulfing her right now and I had to try my hardest to talk her down from the ledge she would crash off of if she actually killed him.
"Bella, Darlin', I love you. Don't kill him please, for Carlisle and Esme. I know he deserves it, but please…"
Bella POV
"I'm not going to kill him right now Jasper. I have to remember that no matter how disappointed your parents and family are in you, that you were not always like this. Your family believes that deep down, a part of you – microscopic that it may be – is good. I don't believe there is any good left in you, if there was you would not have resulted to threats and would have accepted that I was unattainable."
"But then I had some time to think and I believe it goes deeper than that." I close my eyes and concentrate digging deep inside his locked thoughts, "Ah there it is does your family know how you truly feel, your jealousy of the couples in the house. You could have been mated with Rose when she first got here, but you refused and she saw through you, and therein lays the problem – SHE refused YOU, and she became the unattainable."
"So what would be a justifiable punishment for you, something that will serve to remind you of the damage that you have done, the suffering you have caused, how about castration?"
At this statement his eyes widen as does the rest of the men's, except for Jasper who just flinches, while the women gasp in surprise and slight pain except for Rose who chuckles darkly in amusement.
"Although that serves no one but me and you would still be getting off easy, so how can I lower myself to your level and not have karma come back to bite me and my new family in the ass. The bottom line is I want justice with my conscious clean because after this day I will forget you exist in relation to my family and never think about you again."
"I seek justice," I seethe in fury "because you knew she was coming after me but you're so focused on selfish needs, pride and your ego that you wouldn't man up enough to admit defeat to Jasper. You have always been jealous of him because you thought he was the weakest link and the family gravitated towards him. But in truth YOU are the weakest link for you lack of faith in a member of your own family."
"You are a danger to yourself and others, which is an issue I can help you with until I decide a proper punishment for you."
"Death is too good for you and the easy way out, I don't care about anyone else but I WANT you to suffer like Charlie suffered, like your family suffers, like those you have harmed suffered. You will spend your entire existence, if necessary, acknowledging that what you have done was wrong, to show some remorse or regret. SOMETHING!!!" I roar in fury.
I take a deep breath attempting to calm myself as I speak again, "So in the interest of the family that you have so callously torn apart and that I will join as well as for the future that will come, you must SUFFER on a daily basis. You will be bound with the soul you once had, and you will know what it's like to suffer."
Everyone in the room gasped in shock as Edward's eyes widen in horror at my decision. Never in the history had this ever been done to vampire as their kind believes that their souls were delivered to hell when they became the undead. There're no telling what would happen if a vampire had a soul or a conscious to know that what he did, to be imparted with the absolute ability to feel what everyone or thing felt would drive a person insane until the learned how to control themselves. Maybe that was the point; Edward would have to learn to control of himself in order to return to the family and society. The monumental changed and fear that would instill in every vampire he comes across would cause a ripple effect unlike any other. The repercussions would ripple in the time line for years to come and would not be something that could easily be forgotten.
"YOU!!" I sneer raising my hands in front of me and forming them into claws that inflict pain on him in the circle "will be forced to remember every horrible thing you've ever done and I'm going to include that you that you feel every emotion that they felt when you killed them. So, Edward, I now bind you from doing harm, harm to others but not to yourself, I bind you Edward from harming any one or thing that does not have to do with your survival. I BIND YOU EDWARD!!!!" I ROAR in fury my eyes blazing black and red, "to spend the rest of your ETERNITY contemplating the horrors that you have inflected upon others."
"I BIND YOU EDWARD!!!! With your human soul," I roar trembling and shaking in fury wind comes out of nowhere and blows around only me, my eyes flashing fire as the circle I have encased him in catches fire.
"I BIND YOU EDWARD from doing harm, harm against others. For your final act of penance," I close my eyes and murmur an incantation to low for them to hear, he screams in pain and my hand opens as light flashes showing his penis and balls encased in glass.
"I changed my mind, you have 100 years to earn these back" as I release him and he crumples to the floor looking at me in horror, watching as the glass disappears. I close my eyes to reign in the fury that is coursing through my body and pass a powerful wave of calm and tranquility throughout the house purposely missing Edward.
Jasper POV
Bella snaps her eyes open after binding Edward and if fury alone could kill, he would be dead. I have never known a person would feel like that, even during my time of the Newborn Wars, the amount of energy it took me to stand and remain standing prevented me from feeling anyone else. I had to concentrate all my energy mind, body and soul just to block out the fury emanating from Bella alone. Then I feel such a powerful wave of calm and tranquility coast throughout the room that when I open my eyes I can actually see waves rippling out from Bella as her eyes open blazing blue.
Bella's POV
I open my eyes and watch as he struggles to stand suppressing the wave of pity that washes through me from my children telling him, "NO ONE but me can remove this spell in case you are wondering. It's for the sake of my children's future and the sanity of your parents that I am giving you such a merciful sentence. Don't make me regret it!" I snarl in disgust turning to walk back up the stairs to the room Jasper and I will be sharing to lie down, leaving the rest of the family to deal with Edward.
As I sit down on the bed I say "Jacob" who rushes upstairs to where I am stumbling into the room and crumbling at my feet as he wraps his arms around my waist in comfort. He sobs in earnest now, for Charlie and for me, as I stroke my fingers through his hair in comfort murmuring that everything will be okay.
"Jacob" I say quietly "It's alright; both Charlie and I knew the time we had was limited, we were prepared for his death. We just thought it would be further down the line and that we would have more time. I'm going to be okay, I have a new family that will help me, and I have you and the pack. We're going to find the other one and the future I have seen will be beautiful, trust me Jacob."
He lifts his head to gaze at me as he feels the babies kick, then looks at my belly and notices that I have gotten bigger.
I smile at him saying, "Yes, I will be giving birth soon. Now I want you to go home and inform the pack that I am okay, we will need to meet in the next couple of days to take care of the issue of Victoria and the other vampires that will be coming to town. Can you do that for me?"
Jacob wipes his face off and gives me one more hug, "Yes, Bella the pack will want to know that you are alright. Can I come back and see you?"
"Yes, Jacob I would love that" I say looking down and rubbing my belly as he gives me a reassuring smile that I don't see before quietly walking out and closing the door.
Meanwhile downstairs the family is circling.
Jasper POV
Shrugging off Carlisle's arms Esme stands and walks over to Edward who has struggled to a standing position leaning against a wall. Esme looks at him for a moment trying to reconcile the person in front of her with the person she knew when she was first turned. Then she remembers everything that was said tonight pulls back her arm and slaps him hard across the face, she then turns and walks away without another word.
Carlisle stands watches Esme walk out the room, takes a deep breath and says, "Edward I don't know what I did wrong, but I can't put the family through this anymore, nor your mother. I am deeply sorry to have sentenced you to this immortal life and I thought you were making adjustments to living like this. Now I can see what a waste it was to save you and I should have let you die, maybe things would have been different. You were my first companion and I loved you like the son that I would never have but enough is enough."
Carlisle starts to get pissed off, "I can't help you if you don't want to be helped I am sick and tired of saving your ass because of your selfishness. I've lost too much already attempting to help you back to the right path; you are no longer my son. You have cost this family too much and I will not tolerate it anymore, pack your shit and get the fuck out of my house."
Rosalie and Emmett just look at him in disgust as Emmett says, "I always knew there was something off about you, but you were my brother and I did not want to cause disharmony to the family. Looks like my attempts were wasted anyway; I hope you are proud of yourself for tearing this family apart. Watch your back Edward. Now you're really not a man, how are you going to get it up now, Fucktard?"
Rose goes over to tell Alice, "I will deal with you later."
Jacob goes to walk past him saying without looking at him, "It's because of my love for Bella that you are still alive and that I have not sent the pack after you. We will clean up your mess you dumb fuck, but this is your only pass. The next time you will not be so lucky." Then Jacob nods to Rose and Emmett, nods to me, before growling at Alice and walking out the door.
I walk up to Edward and say, "I won't kill you this time, but there will be no next time" before pushing past him and walking up the stairs to check on Bella.
I see her laying on the bed resting as I stand at the door marveling how I could have been so lucky to have this woman in my life. Then I feel her grief as the day's events come crashing down on us and I rush over to cradle her in my arms as she cries herself to sleep as I whisper, "I'm so proud of you, I love you Bella, I will never leave you."
Bella's POV
It's only as I am drifting off to sleep that I smell Jasper as I am drifting off to sleep that I smell Jasper as he enters the room and a few seconds later that I feel his cold comforting arms wrap around me and pull me closer, as he whispers, "I'm so proud of you, I love you Bella, I will never leave you."
