Chapter 20: For Now….
Bella Pov:
I had gotten a few good swipes at Tanya but she had gotten in some good ones as well. I had a torn blouse. Well it was almost completely torn off my body. I had nail marks that started on my left side of my ribcage and went down to my left side hip. They we slowly healing it was a painful process.
I felt Tanya's teeth rip into my shoulder blade. I swiftly kicked her in the stomach. I felt I stinging sensation in my back. Rosalie was still fighting Irina. Rose had torn jeans with deep scratch mark going from her thigh to her knee.
Tanya and Irina weren't giving up and neither were Rose and I. Rose was determined to win. Irina took a swift blow to the back of the head. I leapt on Tanya's back and bought her to the ground. She struggled against me. I was stronger than her.
I still had my human blood absorbed into my tissues, which made me a tad stronger but not much. I had Tanya pinned down to the ground. I dug my nails down Tanya's back and she shrieked in pain. Venom began to flow freely down her back and onto the grassy clearing.
I ripped my teeth into Tanya's throat ripping it out. She shrieked louder. I had venom dripping down my shoulder from where Tanya had dug her nails. I brutally tore off Tanya's arms one by one then I separated her legs from her body. She was still alive but barely. I wanted to drag this out longer to make her feel the pain I felt but I wanted over and done with so I could get Carlee home and me cleaned up. I tore her head from her body swiftly yet effectively.
I piled her limbs into the still blazing fire. Purple smoke rose into the sky. Rosalie was finishing off Irina. Irina grabbed around the neck and was about to rip her head off. I reacted immediately. I tackled Irina down so Rose could recover. I pinned down Irina and Rose ripped her head off. We tossed her into the fire.
It was all over. I looked over at Rose and she was a mess. I bet I was too. I couldn't pick Carlee up I was too sore. A flash of bronze appeared in the clearing then. It was Edward. He eyes were panicked. His eyes flashed to the blazing fire with the purple smoke still coming from the fire.
His eyes flashed to Rose and his eyes widened. He ran to Carlee and picked her up she was safe in his arms. I was now frightened Carlee had seen the whole fight. It would scar her for life. Edward saw me and pain flashed through his eyes.
"Bella. What happened?" Edward whispered. He walked slowly over to me. Edward tore off his shirt and ripped a long bit of material and tied it tightly around my shoulder. Edward tied his shirt tightly to Rosalie's thigh to stop the venom. Edward lifted me you bridal style and placed Carlee in my arms.
Rosalie was close to us as we began the trek back home. Emmett was running through the forest and stopped immediately as he saw us. He picked up Rosalie without a word. Jasper and Alice followed. Carlisle followed behind.
Once we arrived home Carlisle began fixing our injuries. My scratches on my waist were already healed but there were no scars. I had Tanya's bite mark still on my back. That was never going to go away.
My shoulder was going to take longer to heal. Carlisle said four hours. It was going to be painful. Edward and I were in our room lying on our bed with the twins in between us. "Bella. I am so sorry you got hurt it was all my fault." Edward sobbed.
"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen. This wasn't your fault. It was Tanya and Victoria's fault so don't pin this on yourself." I snapped. I pulled Edward to me he rested his head in my lap. He looked so vulnerable. He had nearly lost his only daughter and he could have lost me.
It must have been so terrifying for him. I ran my fingers through his hair. Carlee and Carter we fast asleep at the end of the bed. I had quickly move them so Edward and I could lie together without squashing them.
Edward cuddled into me holding on tightly but not enough to hurt my injuries. He held on as if he left go I would disappear before his eyes. "Hey, I'm not going anywhere. You have nothing to worry about." I said softly into his ear. I began to hum a song into his ear.
The words just came to me as I hummed a song that had great meaning. I began to sing the song into his ear.
Oh I need you in my arms
Need you to hold
Your my world my heart my soul
If you ever leave
Baby you'd take away everything good in my Life.
And tell me now
How do I live without you?
I want to know
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I?
How do I?
Oh how do I live?
Without you
There'd be no sun in my sky
There would be no love in my life
There would be no world left for me
And I
Baby I don't know what I would do
I would be lost if I lost you
If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything real in my life
I sung. I cut off part way through the song because everyone was standing in the doorway and it was embarrassing. "Bella, why did you stop singing?" Edward asked. It sounded muffled since his face was pressed into my stomach.
"Our family." I stated. Edward shot up. He saw his family. He grinned sheepishly. I hugged him to me and kissed his forehead. "Sorry to interrupt but this came for you Bella." Carlisle said handing me a letter. Everyone left then.
I began to open the letter.
