I've never wrote Emmett's POV before either, but I didn't struggle as much as with Rosalie's.


Emmett

Jasper and me were coming back from our hunting trip. I was a little worried about how Rose would be once we got home. Ever since Alice had announced Bella's death, she had been insistent on phoning Edward. I couldn't blame her. We all wanted the little pain-in-the-arse know-it-all, and I call him that with love, home.

But Alice had said not to and Carlisle agreed, so I wasn't going to argue with them, they always knew what was best. But my Rose is a different story. She fights for what she believes in, it's one of the many reason I love her.

I still can't believe Bella killed herself. She didn't seem like that kind of girl. Despite looking fragile even for a human, she always seemed tough as nails to me. She had knowingly dated a vampire, for crying out loud. Damn, I was going to miss that little klutz.

"Emmett! Emmett!" I heard Rosalie's voice shouting. She sounded panicked. Uh-oh, this can't be good. I ran at full speed to the house.

"Rose, what's wrong?"

"I really fucked things up, Emmett," she whimpered. This wasn't good. Rose never whimpers.

"Rose, Rose, what happened?" She was really worrying me now.

"I phoned Edward." Behind us, Jasper groaned. There was a long pause. Clearly he's not coming home. "Alice saw him going to Italy." Going to Italy?

"Italy?" Jasper cut in from behind, alarmed. OK, what am I missing?

"What's so bad about Italy?" I asked. Both Rosalie and Jasper shot me the look that says 'Emmett's an idiot.' I know that look well, and I despise it. Emmett McCarty Cullen is no idiot.

"The Volturi," Jasper answered flatly.

"Oh yeah, the psychopathic royals. Why's Edward going to them? That makes no sense." That earned me the look from both of them again. But it didn't make sense. Why would learning Bella's dead make Edward go running to the psycho royals?

"He's going to die," Rosalie answered. Die? Edward can't just die! I won't let him!

"Melodramatic idiot. Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" I looked at them both expectantly. Why are we just standing around when Edward is trying to get himself killed?

"I don't think we can stop him, Emmett," Jasper stated.

"Well, we have to try!"

"What if it was Rosalie who was dead?" That stopped me in my tracks. I tried to imagine my life without Rosalie. It was a bleak future. If it were Rosalie who was dead, would I want to keep on living? No. And if I'd decided to go to Italy to die, would I want my brothers following me to stop me? No.

"Bella's not dead." I looked at Rosalie surprised. Surely, I had heard her wrong. Bella was dead. Alice had seen it.

"What are you talking about Rosalie?" Jasper asked.

"Alice phoned, she was wrong. Bella's still alive." Alice got something wrong? If it hadn't got us into such a serious situation, I would have been over-the-moon at the idea of having that to tease Alice about.

"Well, if Bella's alive, then there's no reason to not go and get that little idiot. Come on!" Again I looked at them expectantly.

"We can't just march into Volterra, Emmett, the Volturi would just kill us as well," Jasper stated flatly.

"I'm not sitting around doing nothing! I'm sure we could take these Volturi guys!" Jasper gave me the look again. God, I really do despise that look.

"I'm coming with you," Rosalie said. "I caused this, I have to help fix it." That's my girl.

"Let's go then!" Together we headed into the garage and into Rosalie's car. Rose didn't say anything the entire time, which was very odd for her, she usually wasn't shy about sharing her opinions.

In silence, she started the car and started driving toward the nearest airport.

I began to ponder what we would do once we got to Italy and how we would find Edward. I didn't know. I just knew we had to. The idea of the Cullen family without Edward was implausible. I tried to imagine it and came up blank. It just couldn't happen. Therefore we had to find him. Simple as.

We're coming, Edward. So just hold up on the Romeo crap until we get there to stop you. Because you can't die. I won't allow it.

"What if we can't stop him?" Rosalie finally spoke. Her voice was so wretched that my heard bled for her. It hurt me to see her looking so downtrodden.

"We will, babe," I said confidently, putting my arm around her shoulder and squeezing it affectionately.

We will. Because we can't fail. I can't lose my brother. We just can't be the Cullen family without him. And if Bella truly is alive, then the two of them can get back together, at last, and finally enjoy it like they deserve. It's the only possible future that I can imagine. So we just can't fail.


I'm was trying to get across that Emmett just can't stand the idea of the possibility of a future where Edward's dead and therefore can't envision such a possibility as plausible future for him and his family, so he's confident they won't fail. I hope that came through, and you understood what I meant.
