Chapter 3: Why?

APOV

I brought Christopher onto the floor, and began punching him. As I thought even more about what Christopher had done to my best friend, my brother's one and only love, I began punching him harder, and shouting at him

"You sonofabitch!!! What the hell do you think you are doing?? I'll kill you!" As soon as I had said this, Edward snapped out of his state of horrification, and ran franticly to Bella who by now was trying to rise from the couch to try and help me kill the stupid vampire who was going to try to kill her, and my brother. Edward blocked her path to him, and leaned down so that he was in front of her, and with a strained voice that actually had fear in it, he asked Bella if she was alright. She nodded, and pushed him aside. She came over to were Christopher was lying with a dazed expression. She kicked him right in the stomach, and his arms wrapped around his ribs, as I heard Bella's bone crack, and most likely break. She hopped up and down, and screamed, and then Edward swept her off of her feet one of his hand on the small of her back, the other under her knees. Edward set Bella down on the couch, and turned around telling me through his eyes that he was going to finish Christopher off. He turned around a moment after we had passed by each other, and asked Jasper to look at her foot. Then he turned his head down to me, and asked me to stand in front of Bella to make sure that she didn't see my enraged vampire brother take out his anger on another vampire, and then dismember him. I nodded, and kneeled down beside the couch. I looked at my future sister, and asked her in as caring a voice as I could manage if she was going to be alright she nodded, but I could see her biting her lip out of pain from her most likely broken foot. I looked over at Jasper, and he nodded signaling that sure enough, her foot was broken. I looked at Bella with apologetic eyes, and she nodded again. She probably didn't want to open her mouth in fear that she might scream out from the pain. I looked back over at my husband who was still observing our sister's foot, a look of worry on his handsome face. I asked him in a whisper after a moment how bad it was, and he looked up at our end of the couch with a scolding facial expression.

"She's broken it pretty bad. Bella you should have known better than to do that."

I heard the bastard who was behind us scream, and thought how right it was that he endure every bit of pain that we could inflict on him. As Christopher screamed again, Bella answered Jasper, raising her voice over the screams of agony.

"I know Jasper, but I just couldn't help it. The sonofabitch tried to fuck me!! And he was going to kill both Edward and I!" I could tell that Bella had now passed any limits of anger that she had probably ever experienced in her entire life because of the fact that she had cussed. Jasper, Edward, and I looked up in shock at the words that she had used. When Christopher began to scream, and squirm, Edward got his senses back, and went back to tormenting Christopher before being able to kill him. When Jasper and I turned our attention back to Bella completely, she had both of her hands over her mouth, and her eyes were wide in shock just as ours had been only moments ago. Jasper and I began laughing in unison at the expression on our beloved sister's face. In the time that it took Bella to recover from her shock, Jasper and I had decided that it would be best to attempt to fix her foot then, and there so that maybe we could make her pain a little less. Just as Jasper and I were about to try to fix Bella's foot, we heard another cry of pain, and agony. This cry was the loudest though, and so I assumed that Edward was in the middle of the act of killing Christopher. In curiosity I turned around to see if Edward was killing Christopher like I thought that he was. Sure enough Edward was standing there, Christopher's limp and lifeless body in his hands. Jasper turned around with me, and looked at Edward. He turned back to Bella a few moments later. As I realized that he had turned around, I followed suit leaving Edward to do whatever he planned with the body. Bella turned back to us only seconds after we had turned our heads back to her. She looked at Jasper, and said

"I'm terribly sorry for the trouble I've caused you all." Jasper put his hand up to signal her to stop talking. She looked at him her face frozen in shock. As he continued looking at her, he broke the silence that had been going on for the last couple of seconds, and said

"Let us speak about this after we have finished with this." He made a small movement that looked a little bit like a nod, but I knew that he was motioning to her foot. She nodded, and closed her eyes, ready for the pain that was coming for her. Jasper asked her if she was ready, and she nodded her head once again. He pushed her foot up, in the exact opposite direction that it had been before. I'm sure that how ever far away that Edward was, he still heard it, because as Jasper and I winced at the sound of what was surely either her foot falling back into place, or getting worse, and Bella screamed out in complete pain, a scream that I had never heard, nor thought could come out of Bella's lips, Edward appeared by our sides. He asked me to move over, and kneeled on the side of the couch above Bella's head, where I had previously been. Before Bella had tears running freely down her cheeks, Edward began stroking her hair, and whispering to her.

"Shhh… baby… you're alright… I'm here now… you're gonna be okay nobody's going to hurt you."

Before Bella slipped into unconsciousness, she blessed Edward with her eyes lying upon him, and saying in a voice that was filled with love, and care, but I'm sure that we all noticed also pain

"I love you Edward… now and forever."
