A huge shout out to Le-Le and Kakabel! I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing this chapter XXD READ ON~
"Just like that?" I asked raising my eyebrow up at Edward as we walked hand in hand walking down the winding path that lead to the Cullen Household. We had been talking about how his plan would work without causing a big commotion with the family.
"Yes, Love, just like that" he chuckled snapping his fingers in the air to prove his point, "Just explain to them that you'll be leaving and that you'll be back before they know it". Yes that sounded perfect- because he wasn't the one that had to break it to everyone. Edward said it would make it seem that he was the one planning everything if he told the family, but if I told them it would seem that I had actually thought it through and though it be the best option. We both thought it through, and I hated the one to spill bad news to anyone.
"What about Jasper?" I asked gripping his hand tighter. I didn't want to leave Jasper, not for a long time. I had just gotten him back and we were truly acting as if we were still human, it was calming. Not that Edward didn't fill in his spot once in awhile but he is my blood brother and it cuts deeper just thinking about leaving him. "I love him too, Edward" I stated resting my head on his upper arm.
"I know.." Edward sighed letting go of my hands and draped his arm around my shoulder, "I'm not going to lie to you, Love, he will not take it well. The first time he thought you were leaving him his mind exploded into grief. It was over bearing…".
"Then how am I supposed to tell him, Edward?" I asked stilling on the spot. I looked up at him in agony as he too stopped and took his spot right in front of me. "He is my Brother, my own blood, it hurts me to see him in pain".
Edwards face scrunched up as he took my words in. He suddenly took a deep breath and looked me in the eyes, "I don't want you to be in any harm, Bella. It is better this way, I will take Jasper aside when we first get into the house. We, both of us, will tell him before we tell the rest of the family".
That is very considerate of him, but this is my brother he's talking about. If Edward was with me Jasper would assume that this was his doing and blame everything on him. It wasn't Edwards fault, just his idea.
"No, I'll just tell him separately be myself" I mumbled stepping back and then around him. "Why don't you go hunting before we have to tell everyone, I don't want Jasper getting mad at you".
"Why would I get mad at Edward, Bells'?" Jaspers voice made me jump and cling on to Edwards side for dear life. Holy crow, I need to get used to him being a vampire. "Bells'? Did Edward hurt you?" he asked and I saw him step out of the shadows of the forest.
"Why would I hurt Bella?" Edward asked his eye brows furrowing, I guess he heard something from Jasper's mind that he didn't like. "Jasper, why? I love Bella, you know that. Why would you ask out of all the other questions you were thinking? Why that one in particular?". I didn't like where this was going, not at all. Edwards tone was getting harder each time he spoke and Jaspers fists were clenched up as he said all of this, his face twisted up in different emotions I couldn't place.
"Edward, I can't see the future like Alice can. It worries me sometime that you would loose control with her, she has a limited amount of blood in her. I'm not trying to say anything, Edward, it's just-" Jasper tried to explain through clenched teeth. Oh god please don't let anything happen, I just want this to go smoothly..
"I WOULDN'T RAPE HER! HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT!" Edward snarled viciously, pulling me with a hard yank behind me as he crouched in front of me baring his teeth at Jasper. What? How did this-
"I would know. I can feel what her body does to you- but no, not as much as her blood effects you, your hunger more then anything else" Jasper growled, his body crouching and his eyes wide, alert, ready to fight. I never saw it personally, but just then his healthy, bright, exotic, golden eyes were overturned and went pitch black.
Wait. "What are you -?!" I asked in complete confusion but was immediately cut off by an outraged Rosalie. She was storming up to the side of us, her eyes too were pitch black.
"Get the hell away from her Edward! If you even touch her wrongly I will personally rip you into a million parts and burn the pieces!" I jumped at the harshness and authority of her voice, her eyes were trained on Edward.
I urgently tugged Edward's shirt, trying in vain to make him stand up. But nothing happened, he continued to emit a rippling sound that was coming out of his chest. "Edward, stop! Jasper, come on!" I cried out fumbling to get in front of Edward, pushing, unsuccessfully, on his chest. "STOP!".
Everything became a blur within a second. I heard Esme's voice yell out in panic and arms encircled around my waist, pulling me a good ten yards away from Edward. I was about to cry out in disapproval but then I saw Jasper lunging at Edward.. Right where I would have been standing.
"STAY AWAY FROM MY SISTER!" Jasper snarled raising his fist and started to blindly hitting Edward. This is insane, why are they doing this? What did Jasper mean that my blood tempted Edward more than anything else? Rape? I stole a glance at Rosalie and saw her shaking in pure anger, ready to jump in Jasper's spot at any moment.
"Boys, stop this immediately!" Carlisle voice sounded from somewhere behind me, but I wasn't focused on him. I was watching the two men I loved more than my own life, fighting over me, because of me. Carlisle blurred past me and locked his arms around Jasper, pulling him away from Edward. "Emmett, grab Rosalie!" Carlisle ordered grunting as Jasper went against him.
But it was too late, Rosalie was already on top of Edward, flailing her hands at him in every which way.
"Rose, come on!" Emmett whined trying to get Rosalie off, but with no success. Then that was when everything went into a hellish state.
"Get the fuck off of me!" Edward roared grabbing Rosalie by the hair, and before Rosalie's hand could make contact with his face he snapped his head to the side and bit her upper forearm.
Rosalie screamed in distress and rage, making Emmett go insane.
"EDWARD!" Emmett yelled, his voice literally shaking the entire woods. I saw his eyes flash, no not to pitch black, but to red, blood red. He smashed into Edward knocking him into a tree and grabbed Rosalie, holding her close, teeth still bared at Edward. I felt the sudden urge to protect Edward but Esme's grip was true and wasn't about to let go.
"It will be alright, Bella" Alice's voice appeared next to me, but it didn't have its perkiness like it usually does, I glanced at her quickly. She was waiting in distress next to Esme, her eyes all for Jasper who was still fighting against Carlisle yelling at him to let him go. I looked quickly back at the scene.
"He bit me!" Rosalie roared thrashing in Emmett's hold. "Let me go, Emmett! I'm going to kill that bastard!". I knew Emmett wasn't about to let go anytime soon but by the looks of it he himself wanted to have a piece of Edward.
Then Edward lunged at Jasper who was still in Carlisle's grasp. This time Alice wasn't watching.
"Just stop!" Alice snapped running behind Edward and pulled at his ankle. I never would have thought that she had the strength to do it, but Alice flung Edward away from everyone. Everything stilled, everything was quiet except this strange ripping sound.
"I have Jasper, Carlisle" Alice grounded out grasping Jaspers arms and pulled him to the side, away from me. Carlisle nodded, rushing over and taking Edward in his hold, like he did with Jasper only a bit harder.
I heard everyone of the family members breathing deeply in mental exhaustion, and it was then that I figured that the ripping sound was coming from me, the sobs that were breaking out from my chest.
"Edward" I cried trying to walk out of Esme's grasp but she still wasn't letting me go. I looked at Edward with pleading eyes, and he looked back at me with pain filled ones. "Let me go" I sobbed closing my eyes as a strange pressure came into my eyes.
"Why do you want him, Isabella!? He could kill you without a second thought" Jasper growled but I didn't dare look up to see his face, fearing that I would freak from his expression. "Do you hear me, Edward! You wouldn't even care if you killed her!". Why doesn't he just let it go? Edward wouldn't-
"You don't know anything about me, I wouldn't lay a hand on her the wrong way! I LOVE HER, I would die if I ever hurt her!" Edward snarled leaning forward out of Carlisle's grasp, not breaking it but to get closer to Jasper.
"You don't give a damn what happens to her," Jasper snarled back ignoring Alice whom was trying to get him to calm down. "you don't care about her well being, you probably want to change her, just for yourself, you selfish bastard."
"Jasper!" I cried out trying to make him stop, but it felt like he wasn't listening, his rage filled eyes were just glaring at Edward.
"Jasper" Alice whispered touching his face gently, he unwillingly turned to her his eyes turning to a softer medium, "I've already seen it, Bella is destined to become one of us". I froze.
What?
Alice's words were planted in my mind, engraved in my being. One of them, I yearned to agree to plead to change me but my throat constricted. The first sign of denial and closer of my mine. I wanted this but I was already ruining this family, what would happened if I stayed for all eternity? I would probably break them apart….
"NO! I won't let Edward, he would just suck her dry!" Jasper screamed his frame stone still, lips pulled over his teeth.
"I would never!" Edward snapped his body shaking.
"Tell me, what did you do when Emmett brought her home after she disappeared? With her covered in her own blood. You literally had to restrain yourself from lapping it all up!" Jasper snapped back, "Your sick with blood lust around her! Carlisle had to kick you out of the house until he cleaned up. You wanted to kill her, I felt it!".
"Shut your mouth!" Edward yelled and they went at it again. I didn't hear anything though, voices were coming in all directions, everyone was screaming, some muttering but it felt like the were screaming it at me.
"I shouldn't have come here, no.. not ever…" I gasped as everything went dark and I heard a couple of gasps and a few quick intakes of breath.
"Bella…" Edward voice cried out pleadingly and ending the endless torture.
"Oh, Bella" I heard Esme cry out as I fell in her arms and went limp.
