Emmett scoffed, "As if I would let you control me, you stupid do-", Emmett suddenly stopped and started to shake his head violently, as though trying to expel a wasp from his mind.
"Emm?" Rosalie started to move forwards, towards Emmett, but she abruptly stopped when Edward spoke, "Rose, don't get too close", Edward looked wary; he kept glancing from Emmett to Elliot.
"Why?" Rosalie's stubborn nature remained intact and she started to walk towards Emmett again, who was continuously shaking his head.
Edward darted in front of Rose, blocking her view of Emmett, and held his arm out, his palm facing Rosalie, "He's not thinking straight, I can't tell if Elliot has control or not", Rosalie peered around Edward to look at a confused Emmett and Edward continued, "He's trying to fight it but Elliot's gaining control", Edward's worried eyes flicked to mine and then widened as Emmett's huge hand closed around his neck. I screamed as Emmett picked up my husband and threw him into the rock face, causing a few of the rocks to break off and skitter down the mountain. Edward got to his feet and held his palms up and started to back away from Emmett as though he were a wild animal. Rosalie moved rapidly in front of a charging Emmett and stood with her hands on her hips and a determined look on her face. Emmett continued barrelling towards her and from below me, on the grass, Alice screeched, "Rose!"
It was too late. Emmett used the back of his stone hand to batter Rosalie out of the way; she flew sideways into a tree, which snapped in half with a thunderous CRACK! I could see Jasper struggling to control Emmett's emotional climate as he sat, comforting Alice, and I knew that there was no way a breath of "calm air" from Jasper was going to stop Emmett from killing each and every one of us.
Emmett turned to face me with a hollow expression; there was no denying that Elliot had full control of him as he shot towards me like a torpedo. I heard Edward yell my name from behind Emmett and then, at a speed even I couldn't comprehend, Edward was in front of me, blocking my view of Emmett. Edward pushed me aside and stood, prepared to protect me at any cost. Emmett swung for Edward but Edward managed to dart swiftly out of the way and onto Emmett's back like a deadly monkey. Emmett then started to thrash his arms about, trying desperately to remove Edward from his haunch. Emmett was still thrashing and swinging at Edward when Jasper suddenly stood up, leaving Alice to lie in a ball on the soggy grass, still whimpering and rocking from side to side. Jasper walked up to me and touched my shoulder, something that he had never done, even when he knew I was no longer a temptation, "Bella, could you look after Alice please"
I stared into his ruby red eyes for a moment and then nodded as he marched off in the direction of Elliot.
I sat down in the damp grass next to Alice and watched as Emmett continued to run around like a raging bull, clawing at his back. I watched as Edward clung to the raging bull with little effort. I watched as Rosalie stood in the shelter of the trees watching her husband trying to kill her brother. I watched as Alice sobbed without tears on the ground beside me and I watched as Jasper walked up to Elliot with a determination I had never seen before.
I heard Jasper's crisp voice clearly even though he was at least twenty feet away from me, he spoke to Elliot in a demanding tone and Elliot moved back slightly as though Jasper's voice could actually harm him. Jasper began with a hint of a smile in his voice, "You use people's desires against them, is that right?"
Elliot smirked and straightened himself as he spoke, "Yes, that's right"
"That's how you made me murder that girl?"
"Yes"
"And that's how you've made Emmett attack my family?"
"Yes"
Jasper's voice turned into a snarl, "And that's how you've hurt Alice?"
Elliot cleared his throat, "Yes"
"And this gift of yours, it only works with the most powerful desire we have at the time?"
"That's right. I'm afraid I can only see the surface desire"
Jasper clasped his hands behind his back, a habit he'd picked up from his army days, and he leaned in to Elliot's face, so that he was almost touching his neck with his teeth, "Then why don't you force my desire right now?"
Elliot scoffed and waved his arm in a gesture towards both Emmett and Alice, "Why? I've already seen your desire and I'm having so much fun with these two"
Jasper leaned back from the dog, to a more acceptable distance, "But my desire has changed"
"Really? That could be interesting" Elliot played absentmindedly with his long hair and then smiled a huge, false smile at Jasper, "Okay, let's see what you want this time"
I saw Elliot close his eyes and then frown; he looked as though he was contemplating something and then his eyes shot open, "Interesting"
I suddenly felt the urge to be excited, I didn't know why but I suddenly felt happy, as though the past few days had been a bad dream and now I was free of all worries. I soon realised that Jasper was causing this feeling; he was trying to make Elliot feel joyous, excited and carefree. I saw Elliot smile and then he said, in a cheery voice, "Okay bloodsucker, let your desire take over!"
Jasper's eyes suddenly glazed over and he looked as though he might faint; he staggered slightly and then stood up straight, staring at Elliot. The feeling of excitement and joy was fading rapidly and I saw Elliot's features change in an instant; he suddenly looked shocked and terrified.
"No! No!" Elliot was starting to scream at Jasper, "Stop! Stop it!"
Jasper continued to stare blankly at Elliot and then he sprung at the dog like a jaguar. Jasper knocked Elliot to the ground and started to tear pieces of flesh from him; he ripped at his face with his teeth and tore at his chest with his hands, eventually leaving a bloody mess of what used to be a man.
Beside me Alice sat up, her eyes were bright and she looked alert, back to her usual self again. Behind us I heard Edward jump off Emmett's back and land softly in the grass before patting Emmett on the back once. Jasper had already picked Alice up and she had wrapped her legs around his waist like a small child. Rosalie walked sheepishly up to Emmett and he picked her up in his arms and kissed her passionately; I heard him whisper "sorry" a few times before placing her back on her feet. Edward stepped beside me and looped his arm around my waist before speaking to Jasper, "That was very good"
Jasper nuzzled Alice's spiky hair and spoke with clear satisfaction, "My desire was to destroy him for hurting Alice". Alice hugged him tighter and practically chirped with joy,
"Who could resist giving in when they were that happy?"
I saw Jasper give Alice a wry smile and for a moment I felt like everything had been a bad dream, that everything was fine. That's when I realised Renesmee was still with that dog up the mountain.
I grasped Edward's hand tightly in my own and spoke abruptly, immediately ruining the moment, "We need to save Renesmee. Now"
