Last chapter:

I just stared at Jane and I stared at Alec and I pulled all of the pain that I'd ever felt and I thought of what Edward must have been feeling and I hurled it at them—I didn't know the mechanics of it—but I hurled it at them with full force. I was so dizzy at that moment that I fell and I blacked out.

Chapter 13

Evanescence

(EPOV)

I was attacking that mutt when someone pulled me off of him. I was so distracted that I didn't realize it was a vampire. She was talking to him sweetly. If she only knew what he did to my perfect Bella and then he said something that caught my attention before he ran off, "You're one of them." He only would have reacted that way if it was… no it couldn't be…. I had to be sure.

"Bella!?" I gasped.

"Edward!" her voice was captivating. She was a vampire! How? She had never looked better. Even with some grass stains. Her body was more rounded, she had more curves. Her eyes were red from just being turned. Her skin was whiter than before. Her lips seemed to look fuller. She put Rosalie to shame. She almost flew into my arms and I couldn't think. "I'm so sorry. I had to, I thought I had to, you have to know I love you." She continued to apologize, but I had already forgotten about the wedding. She was here, she loved me and she was alive. She pressed her cold lips to mine. I didn't have to hold back. She didn't have to hold back. I had never kissed another being the way I kissed Bella at that moment. I didn't care that she left, I didn't care that I was fighting Jacob Black, and I didn't care that she was a vampire. She was here safe with me!

Something flew into my side. I was so enveloped in my own thoughts and in her kiss that I didn't focus on the mind of the attacker. As soon as I felt the pain run through my body, I knew it was Jane. I closed my eyes in a vain attempt to pretend it didn't hurt. I couldn't get up to protect Bella and I could hear Alec's mind as he ripped a piece of her flesh off of her. "She'll suffer more if he dies first." Alec growled out. I was withering in pain, not from Jane, but because I knew I couldn't save her. I wanted to protect her from them, from everyone, but I was stuck on the ground with waves of pain engulfing my body. I heard her cry out in pain and I never wanted to die—or whatever it is we do—more, I couldn't stand to hear her pain. At that moment everything stopped. Jane stopped torturing me and Alec was stopped from tearing off another piece of her precious flesh and for that I was heavily grateful. What had stopped everything!? I couldn't move, I could only think. Was this Bella's power? Was she able to stop time?

In a split second a force stronger than anything I'd ever seen or heard of, knocked both Jane and Alec to the ground. They were both trembling in pain and they immersed into flames. I was awestruck and I turned to Bella and she was about to faint. I quickly jumped up and caught her before she fell. A million questions were buzzing around in my head. I needed to tell the others, but they were fighting the war I started. I looked down chagrined. I couldn't believe how idiotic I had been. I never let emotions run me that way.

I was tearlessly sobbing as I tried to think of a way to get them to stop. Bella would be the only one to soothe Jacob and maybe even the rest of the pack, but could she do it in her vampire form? I was holding her. I didn't even know what was wrong with her. I felt guilt consume me for not realizing how hurt she was. She looked as if she was asleep, but I knew better she couldn't sleep. Was she killed in the process of saving me? That thought stung through my body. That couldn't be it! I began to unconsciously rock back and forth as I sobbed, "Bella, oh my precious Bella, please be alright."

(BPOV)

I came to when I realized I was shaking. My whole body was sore, not only where I had been bitten. My head was throbbing as I was shaking and heard someone weeping. It was the sweetest voice I'd ever heard and it sounded so pained. I wanted to comfort the voice so much. I opened my eyes. I turned my head to see Edward shaking. Everything suddenly made sense. I saved him somehow, where was Jane and Alec?

"Edward, I'm okay." My voice was soft and it cracked. His beautiful face looked down at me and I saw relief consume his glorious face. He bent his head to mine and placed his silky lips to mine. My hands immediately intertwined in his hair and I parted his lips with my tongue. Our tongues swirled and danced around each other when I remembered the war going on only fifteen feet away from us. For the first time I gently, but forcefully pushed him off of me.

"Edward, what are we going to do about the war!?" I was shaking then. I was terrified of someone getting hurt because of me. "I told you not do anything stupid!" I was infuriated.

"Bella, I'm so sorry. I thought you were dead and Jacob was responsible for you going away…"he started growling at the thought of Jacob.

"Edward what happened?"

"I honestly don't know, Bella. You have a lot of power, I know that." I looked at him frightened.

"We have to stop them." My voice was quavering at the thought of Esme or Alice or any of them getting hurt.

"They will be fine, but you're right, we need to stop them. I'm sure if you talked to Jacob you could calm them down."

I sighed then realizing I was the only one who could stop this and I was now a vampire which wouldn't make things easy. I got up then and Edward followed suit. I interlaced my fingers with him and he brought my hand to his lips. He kissed my hand sweetly as to encourage me.

We ran unable to let them hurt each other any more. I was running faster than Edward and this made me smile, finally someone faster than him. The feeling was so invigorating. I wouldn't let them kill each other. I was determined to stop them. If I could do that to Jane and Alec I could only imagine what I was capable of. I had to stop my curiosity there; I had to wait until I could sit with Carlisle to figure out what was going on with me. I let my senses take hold of me and I could smell something disgusting and I decided it had to be the wolves. It smelt like formaldehyde to me, it was the only way I could describe the sickly nasty smell. It almost made me nauseous trying to pick apart the scents. In the distance I saw Emmett was now fighting Paul and Carlisle was fighting Sam, I couldn't see anyone else, they were too far in the distance, even for my new approved sight. I grabbed Edward before he could speed past me.

"You try to calm them down and keep them from fighting; I'm going to find Jake." I was more nervous than I had ever been. Jacob wouldn't accept me for what I was. Not now. Too much had happened. I really did love him, he was my best friend and I couldn't believe it would end like this, but it had too. He looked at me lovingly and ran off to stop the mess that I had put his family into. Even when I wasn't around I was harming them, I could see why Rosalie hated me. I ran then. I could feel the ground pounding beneath my feet. I had to find Jacob. I had to make this right.

I stopped abruptly when I smelled him. I turned into more glossy green trees and there he was sitting on the same rock of my engagement night silently sobbing.

I could visibly see him shaking and trembling. Something happened that I never thought would happen I could hear his thoughts!

Bella. My precious Bella. She'd rather die than be with me. I can't believe she changed for that filthy bloodsucker. He never deserved her. I loved her so much and I was supposed to protect her and I failed her. I failed her and the whole pack. I broke that damn treaty for no reason. It doesn't matter now. She'll never be with me, not ever. What does that filthy leech have that I don't!? I would have treated her better. I never would have left her. He should be damned to a million horrible deaths because of that. He tricked her into her own death and then tricked me into breaking the treaty first. That…

I had to tune out from there I didn't want to hear any of the mean things he was saying about Edward. I decided to speak up from there.

"Jake, will you please listen to me?" No. Why should I? You didn't stay human for me.

"You should listen to me because I'm your friend." I snapped. Then I realized I answered his thoughts and his face quickly distorted into anger at the fact I could read minds too. Oh what is this just a perk of being one of them He snarled in his mind.

"I honestly don't know what this is. Please listen." I don't want to listen to a filthy blood sucker.

"How could you Bella?" he spoke aloud this time with sorrow covering every word.

"I told you before I had too. I had to or else the Volturi would have killed me. I tried to tell you before, but you didn't let me finish, or start for that matter. That was the condition on me coming back alive."

"You should have never gone to save him anyways!" He stopped to calm himself before he continued, "I could have saved you! The pack could have saved you! We're stronger than you think Bella; I might have killed your filthy bloodsucking …"

"Jacob! Quit it right now! I don't want to hear about your discriminations with my fiancé! I love him and I love his family just as I love you and your pack as well! You told me to choose and I'm choosing both dammit! I'm choosing you both! You can't make me pick a side when the lines are clearly muddled!"

"You already chose them Bella! You already did it! I can't even stand your smell much less being around you! You chose this Bella! You chose to be damned for an eternity! Call me a monster all you want, but at least I didn't choose to be one!" He was furious now and his words stung.

"I never said you were a monster." I was sobbing now, if I could have cried a river would have been flowing from my eyes. "I'm not a monster either. I'm in heaven now, don't you see it? I get to spend an eternity with the person that I love. You're just mad that the person isn't you!" Fury rang through those last words and I instantly regretted them. I didn't want to hurt him. I needed to stop this war.

"Jacob I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that. I didn't mean it. I do love you Jake, just not that way. I'm terribly sorry please, please forgive me. I can't live an eternity with you mad at me like this."

"You shouldn't live an eternity at all!"

"Jake please understand." I was sobbing harder now.

"You can't even cry!" He was trying to wound my lack of humanity, but it didn't matter to me, it never had.

"Please listen, you have to stop this Jacob. We'll forget that you broke the treaty."

"I broke the treaty!? They bit you! They turned you!"

"They didn't change me Jacob. The Cullens didn't want to change me. I had to be turned, but I'm fine with it, because I did it out of love, not out of spite."

"If the Cullens didn't turn you then who did?"

"The Volturi."

"Sure the ones that were going to kill you for being a human let you come to them, human and all, just so they could turn you."

"They didn't know I was coming and Aro was hoping I'd join their guard someday. He was very curious about why no one could hear my thoughts when they could hear everyone else's. He was sure I'd have great powers and he'd never been more right." I looked down at my feet. I must have looked like a hot mess. Mud and grass stains were all over my clothes and I could smell the dirt in my hair.

"What do you mean great powers?"

"I really don't know. I haven't had time to explore it, but when I do figure it out, I'd really like to talk to you about it, I have a feeling you'd understand what it's like to be sore and confused about everything going on with your body, especially since it was forced upon you." I saw a small smile creep up his face and we both let out a low laugh. "You were right Jacob; things were so much easier when we were both human." We both sighed at that thought.

I don't know what to do with this girl. How is it that I still love her even with mud and grass all over her and she's turned into my one and only enemy? Maybe she isn't lying and didn't have a choice. I'm nervous about this whole "great powers" thing. It was plural. What does that mean? Can I handle loosing her completely? I don't see any other way though. He sighed aloud.

"Jake love can overcome everything let's just pretend this doesn't matter, just pretend we're both human."

At those words he got off the rock and I could hear him holding his breath he stepped up to me and engulfed me into a hug. He immediately moved my face to his and put his forehead against mine.

"I love you Isabella. I promised not to hurt you and I'm going to try to stay your friend." A smile took over my entire face and I looked up at him under my lashes. I could hear his heart stop and I immediately looked down. His thoughts were something I didn't need to hear at that moment, I knew he was dazzled by me.

How does she do that to me? She's even prettier than before. I wish I could kiss her right now. This will probably be the last time we actually talk.

I realized he was right; this would probably be our last face to face so I moved my head towards his and kissed his cheek. He smiled up at me, knowing I read his mind. He kissed both of my cheeks and then he quickly put his warm lips to my cold ones for a split second and pulled away. His smile grew by the shocked expression on my face. I decided not to make it a big deal because even though neither one of us would say it, we both new our friendship was over.

"What should we do?"

"First off we need to stop this war, it won't end well and you know that."

"Yeah I know." He sighed and ran far off to change into a wolf and tell them to all stand down.
