The Visitor

Alexandra's Point of View

It's been three days since the 'incident' in the mall with Alice. Everyone had been alerted now that something was going on. We still had no idea what, Carlisle and Alice said it was probably some kind of vampire that could control our minds. We were all on careful look out for any strange behaviour. Things were getting really tense and my dad was being the most careful of everyone, constantly guarding mom and not letting her even down the stairs alone. I was glad to see they were so close. He even wanted to take her on a 'date' tonight. I planned to call Adrian and ask then about the dad age thing. I knew it would be one of our few chances alone for a long time but I didn't want to have Nick in the house tonight. Carlisle told me he was being weird about the whole mind control thing and I wasn't in the mood. Tonight I was going to stay in watch a movie or go out into town and have a little alone time for now. I really needed thinking time and much needed rest. But I didn't need it as much as I wanted it. Everything was getting a little crazy with the twins on the way, the crazy mind control freak, and of course the many fights between my dad and Nick.

It had been ten minutes since my parents left for their date. It was nine thirty and dad said they would be home by eleven. I started my night of relaxation with a warm shower. When I got out it was already ten. I put on a grey tank top and pink shorts and a white robe that fell to my knees. I laid down on the couch and turned the television on. With in a matter of minutes I drifted to sleep. I don't know how long I slept but it couldn't have been too long, because my parents still weren't home. The sound that woke me was the sound of breaking glass and a loud thud. I knew I wasn't alone but I didn't know who had just broken in either. I wanted to know who it was so I dragged myself up from the couch and moved toward the sound. When I saw it I didn't need any light to know who it was, he was maybe six foot seven and had a strong muscular build, his copper skin and black hair shimmered in the moonlight. It was Jacob and he was mad. He had come in the same way he left, breaking through the back door. I heard him utter only one phrase: "Alexandra, you're gonna die."

At that moment I ran to my parents room where the phone was. I tried to figure where I had put the slip of paper with my dad's cell phone number on it. No luck, it was downstairs in the kitchen. I heard Jacobs boots thudding against the stairs and decided it was too dangerous to go get it. I knew I could call the cops but who was going to believe that a werewolf was about to rip me to shreds. I dialed the only other phone number that could be of any help, if someone was home. Luckily I heard the dial tone end and a deep voice echo a friendly 'Hello' into the phone. I recognised the voice immediately.

"Uncle Emmett?" I asked cautiously so that I didn't let Jacob hear me.

"Oh it's you. Hi Alex!" He said cheerfully.

"Listen Uncle Emmett, Jacob is the house." I said quickly.

"In your house or mine?" He asked stupidly.

"In mine", I answered "He's really mad. He keeps yelling something about getting even with Edward for killing his daughter. I think he has a gun." I began to cry. Jacob was right outside the door now but I didn't want to hang up. "I am really scared" I whispered. "Can you help me please?" At that moment the door to my parents room broke into a bunch of splintered chunks of wood scattered about the room. I was positive Emmett had heard it. I began to scream.

Jacob flew over to my side a crushed his gigantic hand across my mouth and nose. "I didn't want it to be like this Alexandra, I didn't think I would have to go this far. There are only so many things I can do to you now but there's one in particular I think I'll start with. Alexandra I am sorry I had to put you to such waste you honestly are the prettiest girl to walk this earth. It's just a pity to that I have to hurt your mother like this. She always said you were the only child she would ever have. She said she didn't want to have any distraction in your relationship. She always had some excuse to avoid sleeping with me as well. You always had something to do with my pitiful relationship. That's why I went to Leah. She gave me a daughter and a family. You took that all away. To think I used to love you. To think I was there everyday since your birth. I regret ever having married your mother! But I guess I won't have to anymore. And your father will pay." I cried harder and the phone fell from my hand. It didn't get hung up I could still hear my uncle shouting my name into the phone. Jacob was preoccupied. I began screaming again. Jacob started shouting at me to shut up.

Jacob picked me up and threw me on the bed. Jacob was still yelling when I heard Emmett say through the phone that he, Jasper, and Carlisle were coming and that he wouldn't hang up. I felt Jacob pull the robe from my shoulders and throw it on the floor next to the bed. His hand had pulled away from my mouth and was now working on holding me down. He had my pinned between his knees to the bed. He had a nine inch blade held above my chest. "Please don't do this to me." I begged through my tears. Then I realised, why wasn't I fighting back I was intimidated not helpless. I began thrashing beneath him. I finally managed to fight him off and rolled on to the floor. He grabbed me by the back of the neck and lifted me on to my feet. He clasped his other hand around my neck as well and began squeezing my neck. I felt the air being forced out of me. I kicked him between the legs and I fell coughing to the floor. I felt his rock hard fist make contact with my rib cage. I heard a cracking sound I knew something was broken. I felt the pain throughout my right side, then through my whole body as he began beating me again. My whole being was in agony, even though I was probably dying and probably alone I didn't want my parents to come back. I wanted them to stay as far away as possible. I wanted them both safe.

I felt a surge of energy. I began hitting and fighting back with all the adrenaline in my body flowing through my fists and tears. Then Jacob pulled his knife out again. He aimed at my heart and plunged the hellish weapon toward me. I ducked out of the way but felt his blade slice across my back. The icy wound turned warm with blood. "I hate your very being Jacob Black!" I screamed. I heard a thundering sound come from downstairs; It was Carlisle, Jasper, and Emmett. Jacob looked down as the phone's screen flashed on because Emmett had hung up.

"Who did you call?!" He yelled in my face. I spat a large glob of saliva into his face then laughed.

"The Cullens!" I laughed. Then Jacob did an unimaginable thing, he killed himself. He pulled his gun from his back pocket and shot himself in the head. I was never going to forget the sight and feeling of his six foot seven figure slumping on to me and the pain that his heavy body made me feel. And when his blood ran bright red over me. I stopped laughing and began crying again. I hated Jacob for everything he's done but watching someone losing hope and killing themselves. Then as if appearing from the hopeless smoke, Jasper and Emmett appeared. They lifted Jacob off of me. My body trembled with happiness. Carlisle looked at me.

"Alex, it's okay. We're here now, Jacob's dead. Can you tell me where it hurts so I can help you?" He asked quietly as Jasper turned the lights on and revealed the mess that was my parents room. "Alex where does it hurt?" He asked, worried. I realised I was hardly conscious and that my head rolled around as though it was disconnected from the rest of me. I was still trembling and covered in blood.

"Everywhere, mostly my back and ribs. He beat me and tried to stab me." I whispered. "Where are my parents are they alright?" I asked, no longer concerned for myself.

"Alex they are at our house. Your mother is resting with your father. They have no idea of any of this. At least not your mom. And yes they are perfectly fine. Unfortunately we were too late to help you Alexandra. I am so sorry. We shouldn't have left you alone. Right now we need to get to the hospital. You're going to need surgery. I hope I can help there. Jasper and Emmett will take care of Jacob 'k?" He asked. I tried nodding but my head just rolled again as Carlisle lifted me and carried me to his Mercedes. He was whispering to me but I was gone. I decided to sleep.

Carlisle's Point Of View

Alexandra is my first patient who has every really made me question myself and my job. This was the second time I was thinking that she would die. I can't keep this girl alive and out of trouble for much longer. Soon there will never be any 'maybes' she will die. And I -for some unknown reason- can save everyone except my own granddaughter. I felt like I was failing my son and Bella.
