I don't own this...Death haunts us all will be updated with Emmett and Rosalie's story...and the wolves story might be up in a few days...

As my voice broke the silence everyone in the room froze and stared at me. Esme looked as though she wold start crying, but she stepped forward and knelt down in front of me.

'Bella...Bella...' She looked down and took a deep breath, shaking her head slightly, 'It was to be expected, even though we hoped, foolishly we hoped...There were some casualties, of all kinds...The Volturi is gone, there are only a few members of the guard left, but they wont harm us.' she looked up into my eyes and took another deep breath, 'Some of the wolves, poor young ones, barely knew what they were getting themselves into...Collin, Brady and Joshua...and then Emmett, he looked into Alec's eyes. Rosalie killed Alec, but then she gave up and let Demetri kill her.'

I stared uncomprehending into Esme's eyes. Hearing what she was saying, but not quite understanding. I nodded slightly, trying to show that I was listening, as I sorted through the news she had told me...My family moved closer to me, even Jasper came closer than usual, in need of the comfort of his family.

After a while, Carlisle left the room, he was back in a few seconds carrying two glasses of water, handing one to me and one to Jake. I followed Carlisle hands and when I looked at Jacob I realised he had been crying. He lifted the glass to his lips and unconsciously I did the same, taking a small sip. Slowly I drank the whole glass and then Carlisle took both cups back to the kitchen. He slipped into doctor mode when he got back, 'Bella, you've had a great deal of shock and I think your in shock now, and it's probably for the best if you go and get some rest. One of us can stay with you if you please...and I think you should get some rest too Jacob.'

Jacob nodded once, 'I want to stay with Bella...I'll just carry a chair into her room or something and sleep on that so Charlie wont freak.'

The Cullen's all nodded, 'We'll be back in the morning.' Esme promised and then they were gone.

Jacob helped me walk up to my room 'Get changed, and I'll be back in a minute.'

I pulled any pajamas out of the closet and got changed quickly. There was a knock at the door and I went to open it. Jacob was on the other side, holding the chair from the lounge room, he placed it next to my bed and asked, 'Where are your spare blankets?'

Without talking I walked past him and pulled a spare blanket from the closet, then went to Charlie's room and grabbed a spare top and pants for Jacob. I handed him the clothes, placed the blanket on the chair and then sat on the bed.

'I'll just go into the bathroom OK?' he asked, hesitated, and then walked out of the room.

I stared unseeingly at the floor, waves of pain seemed to crash into me. Each one hurting more than the last. When Jacob got back I was still staring at the floor, he picked me up with one hand and drew the covers, placed me on the bed, then he pulled them back over me and sat down on the couch with the blanket draped over his legs. He reached over to me, and I realised my arms were wrapped tightly around my waist, trying to hold myself together, he pulled one hand away from my body and held it in his. The gaping hole in my chest, started by the loss of Edward, and deepened by the loss of Emmett, the wolves, and even Rosalie, burned unbearably. How could I go on? My family was being taken away from me one by one and I was powerless to stop it. The waves crashed into me again and my chest seemed to rip in two. As I lost all hope, I lost connection to the outside world.
