Chapter 13: It Ends Now
Bella and Edward raced through the woods as Edward tracked Paul and Seth through their thoughts. Finally, they came to a cluster of trees where Paul had Olivia pinned to the ground and Seth was standing guard. He looked up when Bella and Edward approached. Edward nodded for Paul to let her up, and then he grabbed Olivia by the neck and threw her against a large rock. Olivia looked up at him with wild red eyes and Edward growled, "You come after my family, scare and torment my daughter, control my brother and make him hurt those he loves most! Tell me why!"
A humorless giggle escaped Olivia's throat. "They ordered me to," she smiled.
Edward's grip on her neck tightened. "Who? The Volturi?"
She giggled again. "You have a very special daughter, Edward. She could be of great use to us. But we knew she'd never agree to it as long as you and your family were around. That's why Aro made a deal with Alexander's pack. He was to kill them and that mutt your daughter is so fond of. Aro wanted you, Alice, and Renesmee. And your pretty little wife too, of course."
"Alexander's pack was part of this?" he said in shock.
"Well he was," she cooed, "but then he decided to take matters into his own hands and kill Renesmee out of revenge for his mate. You did us a favor by wiping out his pack. When Alex failed is when they sent me to finish the job. By then though, the Volturi had decided that Renesmee was a worthy addition in her own right, without you and your sister. Tell me, was Major Whitlock as good of a fighter as they told me?"
Edward shouted in anger and threw her against another rock, slamming her down harder than before. He positioned himself to tear her head off, when she laughed cooly, "You may kill me now, Edward Cullen, but know this, your nightmare is just beginning."
"No," he growled. "It ends now!"
Bella watched from between Seth and Paul as Edward bit into Olivia's neck and ripped her head from her body. She had only seen him this angry one other time in her life: when he was killing Victoria. Edward staggered away from the rock, letting the girl's limp body fall to the ground. Taking a lighter out of his pocket, he tossed it on Olivia's still form and watched as the venom left in her body ignited and covered the one who had tortured his family in flames. He turned and nodded his thanks to Paul and Seth before taking Bella in his arms. "She's gone," he whispered into her hair. "She's finally gone."
Bella sighed in relief and hid her face in his chest. At last, her precious daughter would be safe.
