Chapter 4
Edward's POV -
Victoria was her sister! Shocked I stared into her hatred filled eyes, no wonder she was annoyed. Although I was still more upset, Bella was everything to me, my reason for living.
I groaned. I wanted revenge so badly, almost as much as I wanted to be dead with Bella.
"So you will die willingly? Or do I have to use force?"
I could picture Bella's beautiful face, now it was impossibly paler than normal.
I still love you Bella, even if you're dead, I thought wishing she was here.
Unexpectedly Emmett ran through the door with Jasper closely behind, followed by Jacob.
With one quick movement the knife Jane was holding slit through my arm. I screamed in pain and agony while Jasper winced feeling the strong emotion of pain that ran through my body.
Jane turned and chucked the pale white objected mixed with dark red blood into the fire. Turning back she lifted the knife again, however Jasper ran to my side while Emmett and Jacob dragged Jane away knocking the knife onto the floor.
I closed my eyes, I easily ignored the pain screaming round my whole body, but I couldn't block out the pain from where my heart used to be.
I fell to the floor and moaned "No.. she can't be dead.. she just can't."
I felt Jasper's cold hand upon my shoulder and tried to shake it off, the last thing I wanted was sympathy. "I want to die." I roared my whole body shaking.
"Edward you can't." He whispered "Carlisle would never forgive us if we came home minus Bella AND you.."
With my eyes closed I could see Bella frighteningly pale again. I shock my head trying to shake the sad picture away. I thought of how beautiful she looked on our wedding day, but even then she looked dead and pale.
"Edward if you want to die, then come over here and jump into the fire." Jane shouted.
I felt Jasper's hand fly off my shoulder followed by two piercing screams of pain and an agonising howl.
"Come on. Just step into the fire."
With my eyes still closed I stood up and walked towards the sound of the crackling fire.
"Edward?" I could hear her loving voice very vivid and distantly.
I smiled. Her voice would be the last thing I heard in this world.
"No Edward. I'm alive. Open you eyes and see!"
She sounded so close, yet so far, she was dead and I would be soon.
"GET INTO THE FIRE OR I WILL PUSH YOU!" Jane screamed down my ear. I could feel the heat of the flames ahead of me. I could picture Bella and hear her voice. I felt a tiny bit of happiness knowing that in a few seconds I wouldn't have a empty hole where my heart had been. But the tiny bit of happiness couldn't block out my unbearable misery.
"No Edward!"
The voice was getting more frantic and clear. Like she was in the room, it will all be over soon I told myself as I lifted my leg into the fire.
Bella's POV -
"No Edward!" I screamed again. I didn't know how I was still alive, but I was, and I had to save Edward. I was now in the room, I ran over to him and opened my mouth to whisper in his ear. "Please open your eyes." I whispered so quietly I nearly couldn't hear myself. I had the strange feeling of Deja vu, this reminded me of when I was in Italy and I had to save Edward who thought I was dead.
"You sound so real and near, near enough to touch. I wish you were." He moved his leg a little lower, it was now a few centimetres from the roaring flames.
I was now near enough to touch him, that was it.. He needed to feel me to believe me.
I leaned up and kissed his soft cheek like I had so many times before. I smiled, I had missed him, that's what made it so important not to loose him now.
Frantically he opened his eyes and his soft velvet voice made me smile.
"Bella? Oh Bella, I'm so sorry, I thought you were dead."
"So did I." I said my smile stretching across the whole of my face. Then my smile fell as my eyes met his left arm "What happened to your arm?"
He laughed as he lifted his foot from the fire and turned to kiss me back.
Jane was still standing there stunned, filled with anger and without hesitating I reached out and pushed her into the fire. Shocked with what I had just done I turned back and clung tightly to Edward as she went up in smoke. When she was nothing more than ashes the howling stopped and Emmett and Jasper stopped screaming.
I smiled, I was back with Edward again.
"I thought I'd lost you for real this time." He whispered into my ear.
"I promise that will never happen again." and kissed the place where his left hand had been.
"Does it hurt much?" I asked anxiously.
"Yes." He admitted.
"Carlisle will sort it, come on." Jasper said, standing up from where he fell while under Jane's power.
I turned to smile at him, then I noticed Emmett on his left and on his right was a big hairy werewolf.
"Jacob!" I squealed excitedly.
Before I could get over to hug him he and was outside and back again, but back as a human. I laughed as I saw what he was wearing, a skirt of leaves.
"How's Renesmee?"
His face fell.
"Jake, did anything happen to her?" I asked suddenly worried.
"When I left she was unconscious. I'm so sorry."
I opened my mouth to let out a loud cry. My daughter..
As if on cue Alice, Rosalie, Carlisle, Esme and Renesmee walked in through the back door.
"What did we miss?" Alice asked looking around at us all, laughing when she looked at Jacob.
"Mum your okay!" Renesmee squealed running over to hug me. I hugged her tightly, not wanting to let go.
"Renesmee your okay!" I said sighing and we both burst out laughing. "Were a right pair arn't we darling."
Alice ran over to hug Jasper, while Rosalie ran over to kiss Emmett, and Carlisle stood with his arms around Esme.
"I'm so sorry Renesmee.." Jacob began
"It's okay!" Renesmee said turning and smiling she jumped up into his arms.
I turned and fell into Edward's arms and kissed ever part of him I could. It was so good to be together again.
"We've got a lot to catch up on." Edward whispered, his lovely velvet voice tickling in my ear. "First close your eyes." I did as he asked, then I felt his cold hands around my neck. A second later I was wearing my necklace again.
