"Come a step closer and I'll bite her!" Adeliza growled when we arrived. The werewolves were already surrounding her.
"Bella!" Andria called fearfully. "Don't let her kill me!"
"Let her go," Carlisle commanded. "You're surrounded and outnumbered."
"But I have dear Isabella's friend. She won't let me kill her, will you Isabella?"
"You evil witch!" I growled from Edward's arms. I still couldn't move or I would have been across the room in an instant. But I could still use my powers…
I called Adeliza towards me as hard as I could, making the call so urgent that it was impossible to ignore or fight.
But I was so mad that my power went out of control. Adeliza, instead of walking across the room, came flying across the room, completely helpless as she hovered inches above the ground. She nearly flew into the werewolves, nearly hit Jasper, and ended up landing a foot in front of Edward and me.
"Never. Mess. With. My. Family." I growled. Emmett grabbed Adeliza and Jasper took Andria away from her. Andria clung to Jasper and Emmett handed a shocked Adeliza over to the werewolves.
"Get her out of here," Edward ordered Jasper quietly so Andria wouldn't hear. Jasper took her out, and the rest of us weren't far behind.
"Are there any more members of the club that we haven't killed?" Carlisle asked Edward and Alice.
"Not here," Edward answered. "There are some out tracking right now."
"What about the ones that were following Bella's family everywhere?" Esme asked Alice.
Alice closed her eyes. "They were the brainwashed ones too," she said. "When the werewolves killed the vampire who had control over us, it broke the control over them as well. They'll leave her family alone and go back to where they came from."
"What about me?" Andria asked quietly.
"What do you want to do?" I asked her.
"Live with you, if I can," she said softly, shyly.
"Does she know what we are?" Edward asked too quietly for her to hear.
"Yes," I answered him. "She knows." I looked back at Andria. "I'm not sure that's a good idea, honey. Not everyone in my family is immune to the smell of blood."
She looked at their red eyes and then at my topaz eyes. "I can see that," she said, "But I'm willing to take that chance. If it ends badly, then it's not like I'm losing anything."
"We're done here," Sam announced as they emerged from the room, interrupting our conversation. He refused to look at me. "We're going home."
"Thank you for coming," I told him. "I know how much of a sacrifice this was. I appreciate it."
"We all do," Carlisle said, speaking for the whole family. "We can't thank you enough."
"You're welcome," Sam said gruffly.
"If there's anything we can do for you…" Esme said, then trailed off as Sam gave her a look that said we could.
"You can do something," he said. "Get that crazy kid off our lands and keep all the matches away from him."
I laughed. "We can do that," I agreed. "I'll call him once we get home."
"By the way, Bella," Jake said nervously, as if he expected me to get mad. "Mark said to tell you that he won the bet…"
I groaned.
"Bella?" Edward asked worriedly, glancing at our siblings who knew what Jake was talking about. "You actually agreed to that?!"
I groaned again. "I'll talk him out of it."
"But you agreed to it!" Edward said. "Why would you do that?!"
"I thought I would win," I explained.
"What am I going to do with you?" Edward asked as he shook his head.
"Take me home and let me rest," I suggested. "I think that sound like the best plan."
"Am I coming with you?" Andria asked.
"Sure, little sis," Emmett said. He messed up her hair and said, "We won't leave you here."
"We'll talk about what we're going to do once we get home," Carlisle agreed.
"Home," I sighed contentedly.
"It does sound nice," Edward agreed.
And with that we all turned and headed for the exit as one big group.
