We'd All Be Under Gravestones Now

Rosalie's POV

It wasn't supposed to happen this way – this wasn't the happy ending that I wanted. I wanted; no I needed Emmett in my life along with my family. I didn't want to lose everything and everyone. I would relive that horrible night all over again if it meant that I wouldn't have to lose my husband and family.

The possibility of losing our memories made it even worse. I wouldn't even remember Emmett, and I wouldn't even be wrinkle in his mind. I would die by the hand of Royce and his goons; and Emmett would die via the grizzly bear. We would never meet. I'd be living in Rochester, New York and he'd be in Tennessee.

I couldn't take it any more; I rushed out of the room. I had to get away. The tension was so thick in the air none of us needed Jasper's power to feel it.

"Rose," Emmett called after me.

I didn't stop when I heard his voice; instead I retreated to our bedroom and threw myself on our king-sized bed that was only used for one thing.

I heard him sit down on the edge of the bed. I buried my face into the pillow as I let out tearless sobs. He lovingly ran his fingers across the back of my calf.

"Please talk to me," he pleaded with me.

I removed my mouth from my pillow and turned my head on its side.

"What is there to say? I'm going to lose you and your family. I thought I wanted this, but not like this. Never like this…" I trailed off.

"Ooh Rose," He consoled me, pain evident in his voice. "I promise you that I'll do anything in my power to make sure that none of us are separated," he foolishly promised.

"But how? Alice doesn't even know who's behind this – yes she knows the person who will be causing the disaster, but she doesn't know who sent him. He didn't just poof out of thin air – someone brought him here," I exclaimed.

"Trust me, I've every intention of finding out who it was; and when I do I'll rip that demon apart limb from limb," he declared.

I sat up and joined him by the corner of the bed. I rested my head on his shoulder; he placed a kiss on top of it.

I felt his body tense beneath my head.

"What's wrong?"

He inched his shoulder up indicating to me that he wanted to get up.

"We aren't the only people that will be affected by this."

"What do you mean?" I asked, my voice dripping with concern.

"What about our victims from when we fell off the band wagon; especially Edward's victims – even your victims?"

"I still don't understand what you're getting at? They will be able to live full and happy lives now," I replied, "but I can't say that I'm too thrilled with the idea of Royce and his friends having that privilege."

"I'm mostly concerned about our brother's victims, the serial killer and serial rapists. They will be free to murder and ravage more people. Generations of families are just going to disappear, certainly now you must see just how serious this has gotten," he exclaimed.

Who would have thought that something good actually did come out of Edward's rebel stage?

"There's no time to waste – as soon as Edward and Bella arrive we need to start acting. Time is no longer a luxury for us."

Edward's POV

The impossible just became possible. I knew exactly who was wreaking havoc upon my half life and family – Alice was right…it was the last person I would've ever expected. Still though I had to reason with him, if there was anyone I could show reason to, it had to be him. I knew exactly how his mind worked.

I felt Bella's small, warm hand grip mine. I look down at her. She couldn't know about this. We still had awhile before we had to leave. I had to be completely discreet. I couldn't afford to have Alice find out – I couldn't make any decisions yet.

"Are we going to leave for the airport yet?"

"There's no need, we still have an hour left."

I couldn't take Bella to meet him. I knew that he truly wasn't dangerous; it was just his presence here that was the problem – not him. I wasn't sure how he would react when he saw me? I knew it wouldn't be pleasant in the least bit. Regardless though all my worries were for my wife; I knew she was strong, but even she had her limits. Would this be her breaking point…the one thing that finally drives her away screaming? I'm honestly surprised that I hadn't reached that point yet.

I needed to picture Bella and I going to the airport in order to ease Alice's mind and preventing her from calling.

I had only two options: tell Bella the truth and risk her reaction, or feed her some fabrication about how I have some unfinished business that needs some attending. Yes, option number two will work just perfectly. I can tell her that I need to make sure everything in my house is still in order. If this causes her any distress I will just ease her worries by letting her know that I have every intention of catching the earliest flight tomorrow.

I once again made the decision to fly home tonight.

"I have bad news," I began. The tempo of her heart sped up, "there are a few things at my house that need some attending to, and it will take me all night to make sure they're attended to."

"Alright then we can fly home tomorrow," she pointed out.

I shook my head. "No, I'm not taking any chances with you. I want you on that plane tonight."

She pressed her mouth in a hard line. "This is my life; not yours," she declared.

Before I could respond, she glared at me. She saw right through my façade.

"Edward, I insist that you tell me right now what's going on. I know that you're lying about the drive by shooting, and that somehow your house is connected. What's so damn important that I can't come along?"

I bore my eyes into hers and breathed on her in attempt to dazzle her. I hated having to do this to her, but I was only keeping her safe. But what if I was wrong? This person would never harm her; he was raised to respect women.

My mind went back to the spat between Jacob and I when he went came to Forks High to talk to me. Could he possibly right? Perhaps Bella isn't as fragile as I think she is. This is my over reactive nature acting up again. There's no need to keep her safe; this isn't a blood thirsty vampire or an out of control werewolf…it's a human and if I can't trust him, then who can I trust?

I turned my head away before she was fully dazzled. Unfortunately, she was still a bit wobbly; I held out my arms to catch her.

"Bella, I'm ready to tell you everything now…I won't hold back," I sighed.

And once again I made the decision to get on the plane with Bella.

Third Person POV

Feeling tired, he decided to retreat to the one familiar place that he knew. He took his key out of his pocket – only to be stopped by the strange looking device with numbers that was placed by the right side of the door. After scrutinizing the mysterious device, he arrived to the conclusion that it looked like a calculator.
