A/N: Thanks to the people who actually review. It would inspire me more if more of you would review but I guess you all are too busy. But please do review! This chapter was sort of inspired by one of my favorite songs, Cellar Door by Escape the Fate.


Chapter Nine: Cellar Door VPOV

We walk through the doorway, heard you calling from the hall

To find you in the bedroom not breathing at all

I drag your body to the cellar where we lay,

the wax it melts away, I kiss your face...

After the whole ordeal where I almost killed myself and Leah and everything else that was going on I went to the doctor to confirm what we already suspected. The doctor told us that I really was pregnant and Jace's family couldn't be happier. Renesmee spent all her time with me, asking me about names and what I thought it would be, the normal baby stuff I guess. But what worried me was that the baby would have a lot of human in it and less supernatural stuff. So would that mean it couldn't live forever? Would it eventually die and leave me heart broken? Jace told me not to worry so much about it, that the baby would be fine but still I wondered. Somehow the kids at school found out about it, even though I was sure Jace's family didn't tell anyone, and soon everyone in town knew.

Rumors spread like wild fire and even though before I met Jace I was used to them, they started to get to me. I mean they were about the love of my life and my child! How could I not let it bug me? Going into the bathroom at school one day I heard one of the rumors, and man did I get pissed. "So I heard that the only reason she let him knock her up was so that he wouldn't leave her. He must have finally seen what a freak she is and how better off he'd be with someone like me," Amber, the head cheerleader, said, swishing her shiny auburn hair behind her shoulder, smirking. I stood there staring at her and her bitch squad, mouth open. She slowly glanced over at me and began walking over to me. "Isn't that true, Emo Girl? Did he finally see what a freak you were, how much better off he'd be with me? We're both rich and good looking, and he knows it," she said, an evil grin bestowing her face. I couldn't stand any more of the rumors, the insults, anything. How could she stand there and talk about me, telling me how much better off Jace would be with her? Anger built up in my body and before I knew it my fist pulled back and I punched her in the nose. I didn't stop there, I jumped at her, pulling on her hair and beating her head into the wall. How dare she say anything like that? She had to pay! She was squealing like the little spoiled pig she was, blood rushing out of her nose. Her three friends finally pulled me off of her, I started squirming, trying to get out of their hold. "Let me go, that bitch has to die," I screamed. She sat there on the floor, too stunned with her crying to get up. Apparently someone had heard all the commotion and teachers came into the bathroom, one helping the sobbing Amber up, a few others questioned the other blonde bimbos about what happened, another escorted me to the principals office.

I had calmed down a little, not by much though. I still wanted to punch something and make Amber die. Sitting down in the chair in front of the principals desk I looked down at my feet, too scared to say anything. "Would you care to explain what happened and why you so childishly beat up Amber Jones?" the principal asked me. He was a short, pudgy man with only a little bit of gray hair left. "I walked into the bathroom and she was in there talking about me. With all of my raging pregnant hormones I got pissed and tried to beat the living hell out of her. Is that good enough?" I said sarcastically. Principal Hogan turned red in the face, a hard glint in his eye. "What you did is totally unacceptable! I will not tolerate such behavior at my school. I don't care if she was insulting the president, you do not take matters into your own hands! I could send you to jail for this, its what I would do to any other student. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't!" he yelled at me. I was just about to answer when in walked Carlisle, his golden hair gleaming. "And who are you?" Principal Hogan exclaimed in authority. "Doctor Carlisle Cullen, I'm here to take responsibility for my daughter," he said calmly, sitting down in the chair beside me. Principal Hogan's face looked shocked, for some reason unbeknownst of me. "Your daughter is about to go to jail for assault," Hogan replied, sitting down in his chair from where he had been standing up before, lecturing me. "Well I'm sure she had a good reason, and I don't think its fair with her being pregnant and her raging hormones," Carlisle stated calmly. "Violet, go wait outside while I talk to your father," Principal Hogan said, gesturing to the door. As I walked by Carlisle he winked knowingly to me, as to assure me that everything would be taken care of.

Walking out into the hall I sat down on the bench in front of his office, staring at the wall. A few people mulled about in the hall, when they saw me a look of fear became clear on their faces and they were quick to get out of the hall. A few seconds later Jace rushed down the hall, a relieved expression on his face. "Violet," he breathed, rushing to sit beside me. Cupping my face in his hands he stared intently into my eyes. "Why did you do that?" he asked, concern plastered on his face. "I walked into the bathroom because I really had to pee and when I did I heard Amber talking about me and you and our child and how better off you would be with her because she's rich and everything and I kind of lost it and started beating the hell out of her," I stated so quickly I would be surprised if he caught any of it. "Violet, everything's going to be okay, I called Carlisle and he'll straighten everything out," he said, leaning down and kissing me on the cheek. Sighing I laid my head on his chest, his arms encircling me in a protective vice. A few minutes of silence engulfed us before the door to the principal's office clicked open. Carlisle stepped out telling me to step back inside so the principal could talk to me. Getting out of Jace's cozy embrace I walked into the principal's office and sat down into one of the beige colored chairs. "I'm not going to make you go to jail," he said. I sighed in relief, thank goodness. "But you are going to be suspended for the rest of the week. If this happens again though, don't expect me to be so kind," he said. I nodded, thanking him for being "so kind" and walked out the door.

Carlisle was still in the hall, so was Jace. "He isn't going to make me go to jail but I'm suspended for the rest of the week," I stated solemnly, standing beside Jace. "Violet, I'm not going to punish you for doing this but if it happens again I will," Carlisle said, looking me deep in my eyes. "Yes sir," I said. I didn't mind, hopefully I had hurt her bad enough that no one would ever try to mess with me again. All three of us walked to the parking lot together. When we got to our car Carlisle said he would see us after work and we rode home. "Did I break any of her bones?" I asked Jace as we were pulling out of the parking lot. "You broke her nose, she has a bald spot, and you almost gave her a concussion," he said, laughing a little. "Remind me never to make you mad," he said sarcastically. "Well the bitch deserved it," I said jokingly. Reaching over I put my hand on top of Jace's, our fingers immediately intertwined. Any kind of touch from him sent shivers down my spine, I loved him so much. He cast a loving glance in my direction, the rest of the way home we rode in silence.

Pulling into his garage he came over and helped me out. Not feeling like moving I spread my arms out like I was about to give him a hug, exclaiming, "Carry me, Jacie." Picking me up bridal style he whispered deviously in my ear, "How many times do I need to tell you I hate that name?" Giggling I reached up and kissed him on the cheek, "But why not? Its really cute. And you look even cuter when you're upset that I called you that." He growled playfully at me, we were already in his living room. Plopping me down on the couch he began kissing me on my neck. I giggled, his mouth moved up to mine and we kissed. Biting down on one of his lip rings I pulled it with my teeth. "SO," a booming voice echoed through the house, startling both me and Jace. "Holy fuck, Emmett! What do you want?" I said in a loud, demanding voice. I didn't like it when someone interrupted Jace and I while we were kissing. "I head that you beat the hell out of some bitch at school today," Emmett exclaimed, sitting on the couch beside Jace and I. "Yeah, so what?" I said back. "If you don't leave us the hell alone I'll do the same thing to you," Jace said, glaring at Emmett. "Oh, I'm so scared of the little faggot emo boy. What are you going to do, cut me?" Emmett said back menacingly. Was it me or was he scary? "No one is going to do anything to anyone," exclaimed Renesmee as she came floating down the staircase, Jacob following her. Emmett rolled his eyes and got up, zooming off to his room.

Sitting down on the couch beside me Renesmee took my hands in hers like a mother would and said, "Now tell me exactly what happened at school today." Sighing, I began, "Well okay. I walked in the bathroom because I really had to pee and Amber was in there and she was talking about the only reason I so called 'let him knock me up was because he finally saw what a freak I was and knew how he would be better off with someone like her.' So I got really mad and punched her in the nose and started beating her head against the wall," I said. The part about how Jace would be better off with Amber made me tear up, a few spilling over. "Now we both know that's not true. You and Jace are soul mates, nothing could change that. And he loves you, not some spoiled rotten brat. And you two are having a baby because you love each other," she motherly said. "Thanks, Renesmee," I said solemnly. "Mom if you wouldn't mind I'd like my girlfriend back for a little bit," Jace said almost jokingly. "Sure, Jace. Violet, remember, if you want to talk to me about anything I don't mind," she said softly, standing up Jacob took her hand. "Thanks, Renesmee," I said, snuggling back into Jace's welcome embrace.

"Why does someone always have to butt in when we want to kiss?" I asked playfully, my arms wrapped around Jace's neck, sitting in his lap. "I don't know but its really annoying," Jace said back. He stood up, me clinging to him like a magnet, and ran us up to his room. Sitting me down once we were in his room he whispered lovingly in my ear, "I love you." "I love you too," I said, smiling. Slowly our mouths inched towards each other's. Right when they were about to touch an immortal pixie's voice echoed through the door, "Jace!" Growling he replied, "What in the hell do you want, Alice!" Laughing she replied, "I was just going to tell you that Esme made some food in case you're hungry!" Laughing I said, "They just love to interrupt us, don't they?" From somewhere in the house a muffled "yes" came as a reply. "Well its annoying as hell and I wish they'd quit," Jace growled, his arms pulling me closer to him. "Me too, but you're so cute when you're upset," I giggled. Rolling his eyes he reached down to kiss me, but I ducked out of the way. Wriggling free of his embrace I scrambled to his door, calling out, "No kisses right now, we need to eat!" After that I took off running like hell because I now knew that he could catch me thanks to his super naturalness. He came running behind me, his fingers brushed my back and I squealed like a little girl. Spying Bella walking down the hall with Edward I jumped behind them. "Protect me, Bella," I yelled out jokingly. Jace tried to dodge past Edward but Edward didn't let him. I was laughing really hard by then, so was Bella. Jace finally made it past Edward and scooped me into his arms, swinging me over his shoulder. "Not. Funny, "Jace said through clenched teeth. "You know it is, don't even pretend to be mad," I said kissing him on the cheek. Bella and Edward had left by then so we were standing alone in the hallway. Sitting me down he whispered darkly, "I'm gonna get you back later." "Oh, I'm so scared," I chuckled back. His hands clutched the small of my back, pulling me close to him. He brought his mouth to mine, this time I didn't pull back, I didn't resist. After a minute of kissing I breathed out, "I really am hungry, Jacie. I'm eating for two now you know." "Yes I know darling," he said back, taking my hand and leading me to the kitchen.

We sat down and ate, man I was really hungry. When we were done he took me back up to his room. Sitting on the couch, my feet in his lap, I said, "Jace, will you play me a song on your guitar please?" Smiling he went and got it from his closet. Sitting back down in his original spot he began strumming his guitar. Immediately I knew what song it was, Hummingbird by Nevershoutnever. When he started singing I couldn't help but grin, maybe our child would inherit his music skills. When he was done I was grinning from ear to ear. He slid his guitar onto the floor, reaching over and pulling me into his lap, sideways. "Who taught you how to play the guitar in the first place," I asked, stroking his cheek with my hand. "Jasper. When I was little I head him playing one day so I asked him to teach me. I've loved it ever since," he said. Smiling I replied, "Tomorrow I want to go back to my house to get a few things. I really miss my Ipod and I feel kind of guilty wearing your clothes." "Okay, baby. Its ok for you to go back because that bastard is in jail and can't hurt you. I still can't get over that. If I ever see him again I am going to kill him," Jace replied. I didn't really doubt he would kill him, Jace hated what he did to me and what he caused me to do to myself in return. Ever since I started living with him I hadn't felt the need to cut myself anymore. My life was perfect in that moment of time and I didn't want anything to change it.

In the morning we woke up and got ready for the day. I was suspended so I didn't have to go to school, thank goodness. But Carlisle almost made him go. I begged and pleaded for him to stay home with me so finally he gave in and said yes and headed to work. Everyone else besides Esme went to college, leaving Jace and I able to kiss without any interruptions. I was about a month pregnant and already I had a tiny baby bump, but I was terrified about becoming fat. "Jace, will you still love me even when I get really fat and can't see my swollen feet?" I sobbed into his chest. Damn my hormones. One minute I was happy, the next I was ready to jump out a window. None of the Cullens who had powers could use them on me. Jasper couldn't even feel my emotions. Only Jace could use his power on me which was weird. I guess I had blocked out so many things throughout my life that I was immune somehow and since Jace was the only person I could open up to about anything his power worked on me. "Yes, Violet, yes. I will always love you, no matter what. You could never look ugly or fat to me," he whispered back lovingly into my ear. "You don't think that Leah is prettier than me, do you? Why did you even date her if she wasn't your soul mate?" I sobbed even more. "Violet, I already told you Leah can't even compare to you. I went out with her back then so I wouldn't be lonely. Then I saw what a bitch she was and broke up with her, I love you. I never loved her," he replied back fiercely. Looking up into his eyes I knew he spoke the truth. Reaching up I kissed him on the lips.

"Can we go get my stuff now?" I asked impatiently as soon as we pulled away. "Yes, let me get my keys," he replied. He got his keys, walking to the car I tripped. Before I could land on my face Jace had pulled me up and helped me to get steady on my feet again. "Are you okay?" Jace asked worriedly. "Yeah," I breathed back, stepping into the car. It would have really hurt if I would have landed on my face… Closing the door, Jace sped off towards my house. Pulling up into my gravel driveway I unbuckled my seatbelt. "I'll be right back, I'm only getting a couple of things. You can stay in the car," I said, smiling in reassurance to him. "Okay, hurry back though. I'll miss you," he said. Leaning across the car he gave me a kiss. Getting out of the car I walked back to my house. I could hear Jace turn up the stereo in the car really loud. He shouldn't have done that. It looked eerie, quiet and still. A chill crept up my spine but I ignored it. Unlocking the door with the spare key in the eve of the door I stepped inside. It looked exactly the same as it did the last time I was there. I walked quickly up the stairs and into my room, it was kind of chilly in there. Stepping up to my closet I began pulling some of the clothes off of the hangers. Another chill crept up my spine, a hand touched me on my back and I jumped in surprise. "Jace what do you-" I trailed off, because when I turned around it wasn't Jace standing there. It was Kevin.

My eyes widened in shock. "But you're supposed to be in jail," I said. I hadn't moved an inch because I was scared to death, I knew he was going to hurt me. "I was tired of being in there, and with my good behavior I managed to get out early. I heard about what you did to my girlfriend's daughter, and that was very naughty of you. Getting pregnant was very bad too, so of course I'm going to have to punish you," he stated matter-of-factly. My breath hitched as he pulled open my top dresser drawer and pulled out my knife. "You don't think I didn't notice the cuts all over your arms? Amber is right, you are an emo bitch. She's like a daughter to me, you never were. All you did was mope and complain. So another cut wouldn't hurt that much, would it?" he asked. I was truly scared, I was surprised I hadn't crapped my liver or something yet. Tears streamed out of my eyes, why hadn't I let Jace come in with me? "It's a shame your child won't live to be born, now isn't it?" he said, taking my knife out of its case. What was he talking about, was he going to kill my child or something? Before I could think of anything else he swung the knife and then plunged it deep into my stomach. It was like the nightmare I had had that caused me to tell Jace about my horrible life in the first place. Screaming I dropped to my knees. He kept stabbing me repeatedly, I was screaming at the top of my lungs for Jace. "Stop screaming, he's not going to rescue you!" Kevin screamed. With one last stab he dropped the knife on the floor beside me, I couldn't feel anything, I couldn't breathe. "See you at your funeral," he said, turning and strolling out of the room. I lay there in my puddle of blood, thinking about Jace and our child that would never be born. I hoped that he wouldn't blame himself for my death, it was my stupid mistake of not letting him come with me. With my last breath I whispered out, "Jace, I love you," and then blacked out.


JPOV

As Violet got out of the car I turned my stereo up to just about as loud as it could go, I needed something to keep me occupied until she got back. I couldn't even fathom how lucky I was to actually have found my soul mate. I loved her more than anything else in the world. My whole family loved her too, I couldn't imagine my life without her. And with her having my child I couldn't be more excited. Secretly I hoped she had a little girl, but whatever she had was fine with me. Tapping my hand on the steering wheel in rhythm with the song I sighed. I missed her already. Flipping my hair out of my eyes I laid my seat back, counting the seconds until she came back to me. Five minutes later I began to get worried because she wasn't back yet. I was just overreacting, I assured myself, she was fine. About three minutes later I saw someone run out of her back door and into the woods, what the hell? Turning the car off I got out and made my way towards her house.

Opening the door I smelt blood, lots of blood, and that blood smelled like Lilacs and Violets, meaning it had to be Violet's blood. Cursing in my head I raced up to her room as fast as I could. There she lay in a pool of thick blood, it was still streaming from her stomach and I swear I could see some of her intestines. "What the hell?" I said in surprise. Did she do that to herself? No she wouldn't have, I thought. Not wasting another second I picked her blanket up off of her bed and pressed it to her stomach, I had to stop the bleeding. Picking her up with the blanket still wrapped tightly around her I ran to my car as fast as I could. I places her in the back seat as gently as I could, I could hear her heartbeat getting fainter and fainter. Cranking it up I shoved it into reverse, almost hitting another car in the process. Pressing the pedal to the floor I set a course to the hospital. Taking out my cell phone I dialed Carlisle's cell phone number. On the first ring he picked up. "Hello, Jace. Is something wrong?" he asked. "Yeah. Violet and I went to her house to get a few things of hers and she told me to stay in the car and wait on her. So I did and a few minutes later I saw someone run out of her house so I ran up to her room as fast as I could. When I got there she was laying in a pool of blood, it looks like someone stabbed her in the stomach. I'm on my way to the hospital now, yes I wrapped something around her torso to stop the bleeding. Bye," I spoke as fast as I could. The hospital was about a mile away when the shock of what had happened got to me. I could lose Violet, she could die! I wouldn't be able to live without her, she couldn't die! Her heart beat was almost nonexistent by the time I got to the hospital with her. Slamming on the breaks I gently got her out of the car and ran her to the entrance where doctors were waiting with a stretcher. I laid her gently on it and with one last look at my beloved they rolled her into the operating room.

Falling into a chair I picked up my cell phone and called my mom. She, my dad, and Esme arrived a few minutes later, shock written on all of their faces. Retelling the story of what happened caused me to tear up but I had to let them know what happened. "Who do you think did it?" asked my mom, who had shed a few tears for Violet too. "I don't know, I'm thinking maybe her step-dad but I thought he was supposed to be in jail but maybe he got out. I'm just so confused I don't know what to do," I said, tears leaking out of my eyes. "What if I lose her? I already know that the baby died but I don't think I would be able to live if she died," I cried. I didn't care who saw me do it, all I could think about was her. Getting up I walked to the bathroom. Trying to steady my breathing I locked myself in one of the stalls. Ever since I met Violet I felt that the void in my heart had been healed and I didn't feel the need to cut myself anymore. But now I was so sad and scared and alone that I couldn't resist the urge. Reaching into my pocket I pulled out the pocket knife I always carried with me. Flipping it open I pressed it to my skin. Crimson beads of blood swelled up underneath the blade until they burst. Not feeling satisfied I cut myself again and again. Finally the adrenaline rush that always came with the cutting came to me and I could no longer feel the pain swelling up in my heart. Finally it began to wear off. Going to the sink I washed my wrist off with water, along with my knife. Slipping it back into my pocket I walked back into the lobby where my family waited patiently. Sitting down beside my mom I stared at the clock on the wall that ticked by so slowly that every second it ticked off felt like a century. "Jace, did you cut yourself?" my mom whispered, touching my arm softly. "No," I lied. "Then why is your wrist all sliced up? I know that you're upset but was it really necessary for you to do that?" she asked. I knew that she was upset but she didn't understand it, no one except Violet understood my cutting, another reason why I loved her so much. "Mom you don't understand why I did that, its my way of coping, just leave me alone," I growled, turning away from her. Her crying started back up again, but I didn't care that I had hurt her. All I could think about was Violet.

Seven hours later Carlisle walked out of the two swinging doors that separated the lobby from all of the other stuff. I was beginning to get impatient, hopefully this meant that he had good news. Before he could say anything though I blurted out, "Is she okay? Is anything wrong with her that could make her die?" Sighing he sat down in a chair in front of the rest of us and retaliated the news, "Violet suffered a lot of blood loss from her injuries. We cleaned her wounds as best as we could and repaired her damaged organs as best as we could. But from all of the shock and blood loss she's in a coma, which is typical and she should wake up in a few days. But there is also the possibility she could get an infection and die. We couldn't save the fetus, it was to severed to even try and begin to save. She'll be lucky if she can ever conceive another baby will all the damage that was done and all the scar tissue there will be." My breath caught, she could die? She was in a coma? She could never have children again? Suddenly I was enraged beyond anything I had ever felt, Kevin or whoever had done this to MY precious Violet was going to pay! And I would be the one doing the stabbing this time! If I ever saw her dad again he'd be dead, but of course I'd torture him first like he had done to Violet for the past seven years. "Jace, are you okay?" my mom asked, concern thick in her voice. "Yeah," I said, "The only that's wrong is that my girlfriend could possibly die and she can never have kids again!!! I am going to kill the bastard that did this to her. I hope I get to see him again, he's dead!" I was shouting now, but I didn't care who heard me. Kevin needed to die! My poor Violet was probably going to and he was the one who caused it. "Jace, calm down," my mother said in a hushed tone. "How can you tell me to calm down when she could possibly die! How would you feel if dad was in this situation? You'd be upset too," I shouted, but softer than what it had been before. "Jace, she isn't going to die. There's a two percent chance, but I'm sure she won't. She has some of the best doctors in the world caring for her. You can come and see her for a little bit if you'd like, she's stable right now," Carlisle said.

I was expecting the worse when I walked into her hospital room and man did I get it. All sorts of tubes and wires were stuck to her, tubes were down her nose. I was shocked. She looked lifeless, all the color was drained out of her, only dark shadows remained under her eyes. She was gaunt and pale, lifeless. Seeing her in this state made me break down, tears poured out of my eyes. My mom was in the room with me and came over to me and started rubbing my back. "Shh, Jace. It'll be okay baby, she'll be fine. She is not going to die, she has Carlisle taking care of her. Its okay," she soothed me, but with little effect. I kept sobbing, I couldn't stand seeing her like this, if I lost her I would have nothing. I'd kill myself. I didn't care what the effect would be on my family, I would die and die in pain. My mom held me like when I was a little boy and let me get all of my emotions out. When I was done crying my eyes were sore and I couldn't breath well, but still I felt depressed about the situation I was in. Telling my mom I was fine, she went down to the kitchen to get something to eat, I decided to stay with my Violet to make sure she was okay.

A few minutes later I walked over to her bed and began stroking her hand soothingly, she looked so frail that I was scared I'd break her. Staring at her lifeless but still beautiful face I suddenly felt a determination to make her live, even if that meant turning her into a vampire. But I didn't want to do that without her consent, what if she thought they were heartless monsters and would rather die than become one and by turning her into one would ruin our relationship forever? A few more minutes of peace staring at my beautiful Violet I heard a snaky voice come up behind me, "Oh, so you must be the notorious Jace. Violet has begged-I mean said so much about you." It had to be one person and one person only. Turning around I stared the devil in the eyes, the man who did this to my Violet. How dare he actually have the nerve to come around here and show his face when HE was the one that did this to her? Anger building up inside me I rushed over to him as fast as I could, gripping his shirt and shoving him into the wall. "Why in the hell did you do this to my Violet you sick bastard! If she dies its all your fault and your going to be the next one to die!" I shouted. Slamming him as hard as I could into the wall I swear I heard a bone crack. I had to take my anger out on this man, he did this to her! He fell on the floor, but I pulled him right back up and began beating the hell out of him. That is until someone heard all the commotion and sent someone to break up the fight. "Jace, calm down," my dad said as he tried to restrain me. But I was trying hard to get out of his iron like vice. I hated Kevin for what he had done to my Violet and he needed to pay! Someone was trying to help Kevin up and I screamed out, "He did this to her! He needs to die! Kill him! Make him go to jail!" Someone escorted him out of the room before I killed him and my dad led me over to the couch to calm down. "Jace, calm down. He is going to jail for what he did, just calm down, son," my dad said. Not being able to deny the alpha's commands I calmed down. Everything would be okay, wouldn't it? He would go to jail and Violet would wake up, right? God I sure hoped so. Sitting in that hospital room was hell, not knowing what would happen, not knowing when she'd wake up or if she even would. Until I heard someone softly whisper, "Jace?" did I ever feel worse.


A/N: Ooh, so what's going to happen? Is Kevin going to jail, and who was that at the end who whispered his name. Will Violet survive and if she does what will her reaction be when she finds out what happened to her baby and what will she do when an unexpected guest shows up? Please review because it makes me feel inspired and I write faster!!! Lots of twists and surprises coming up!
