And Then Edward Came Back And Ruined It.

Right, so now you know, that is how I met the Smiths.

Casey was calling me. " Look,Bella, We don't want you to get hurt again, even if your not going out with him." Jonathan told me.

"I won't " I said softly.

"Doctor Cullen wants a meeting at their house!" Peter said running in.

"When?" Max was curious.

" An hour."

"I'll call James and ask him to to come with Laurent." Victoria offered coming down the stairs.

"Thanks, I'll call Jake" Anais said disappearing into another room.

"Why?" I asked "Why, should we go?"

"We should go, because we have to try to get along." Casey explained quietly.

Anais ran in. " That is not why I'm going, Mom, I'm going because I want to beat up Edward!"

"I'm with you!" Zain agreed.

"We should make a 'We Hate Edward Club!" Faolen said excitedly.

"I'll make badges!" Max said enthusiastically.

"Guys!" Peter complained "I want to join!"

It was a long drive to their house, Zain and Anais offered to run, but, Casey was worried they would do something to Edward before the rest of us could get there.

When we knocked on the door, Carlisle opened it and said formally "Do come in"

"Where is that son of a-" Peter began, barging past Carlisle.

"Peter!" Casey sternly scolded him.

There was a whirl of wind and Laurent, James, Jacob, and Renesmee (Faolen's little sister) were beside me. " You could have called earlier!" James complained. "We missed all the fun!"

I smiled and followed Max into the house.

In the living room, Edward sat beside Esme, then Carlisle, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper and finally Alice. I sat nervously in the middle of our group, Zain on one side,Laurent on my other.

"What?" I was the first to speak " What do you want?"

"I want you to forgive me" Edward said softly "Please"

"Why should I?" I was angry.

"Because I still love you."

I looked at Anais who was pretending to be sick.

"He's telling the truth" Max announced. She could tell the truth from lies.

Anais had to grab onto Zain to stop him throwing himself at Edward, while Edward smiled smugly.

"Well,Too bad I don't love you and I never will." I wouldn't let him hurt Zain.

Edward's smile disappeared and Zain stopped struggling.

"That's it, It's time to kill him!" Anais announced,lunging at him.

She slammed into his shoulder, sending him reeling back, and lashed a kick into his stomach, that didn't hurt, but distracted him while she grabbed his arm and pulled. Edward screamed loudly as his arm was ripped from his body. Anais threw it to Peter, and smiled viciously as she attacked again. Rosalie jumped on Anais' back, and Anais threw herself backwards, crushing Rosalie, and rolling to a crouch, before she attacked Edward again. Max went at Rosalie.

Jagar went at Jasper, and I watched as Jagar threw Jasper the length of the room. Jasper twisted in mid-air, and landed neatly on his feet charging back at Jagar, who ducked under his lunge, came up behind him, twisted his arm behind him, and pulled Jasper's limb from him with a sickening crunch.

Esme saw Casey going quietly after Alice, and went after her. Casey turned just in time, and met her punch with an arm to block her. She kicked under Esme's defense, but Esme responded by grabbing Casey's leg, and twisting it off. Peter was busy collecting body parts that belonged to our family, so we could re-attach them later, so James and Victoria went after Emmett together. Zain and Laurent stayed beside me, while I used my shield to protect my family from Edward's mind reading. Renesmee had learned how to beam her thoughts without touching people, so she was our early warning system. Jacob disappeared for a while, while I watched Jasper grab Jagar's afro, and yank it back. Jasper bared his teeth, and was about to rip Jagar's head off, when Faolan knocked him off his feet. It was getting hard to keep record of everyone, to protect just my family. Casey was beside me, attempting to re-attach her leg, before Esme realized where she had gone.

I returned my attention to Anais, who was still fighting Edward, who had re-attached his arm. Edward grabbed her, and flipped her into the air, holding onto her arm, and ripping it off. Anais screamed in pain and fury, and dropped to the ground, rolling to her knees, and looking for her arm desperately before Edward attacked again. That's when my anger cracked, and I threw myself at Edward, grabbing his arm, and pulling it as hard as I could, hurling the limb into the air, and watching as Peter grabbed it.

I looked around to see Anais standing up again, controlling a ball of light, and then she sent it straight at Edward, who screamed as it burnt him.

I returned to where Zain and Laurent were standing, and there was a sudden crash as Jacob, in wolf form, led his pack into thee sitting room. "Guys!" I heard Renesmee call. "We've got to go! Jake's got it under control!"

Casey nodded, and grabbed her husband's arm, dragging him from combat with Carlisle. Jagar and Faolan backed away slowly from Jasper, before turning and following Casey and Jonathan out the door. Peter gathered the ripped off limbs, and James helped Victoria to her feet before they ran. Max tried to stand up, but Rosalie knocked her down again. Renesmee threw herself at Rosalie, knocking her off Max, and together they darted away. Laurent followed his coven members, and Zain and I paused.

"Cowards!" Rosalie yelled after my retreating family.

"Who are you calling cowards?" a quiet, musical voice asked, and she turned around to see Anais there, smiling prettily. "I don't like people calling my family cowards." That's when Anais hit Rosalie, hard, across the face, before running over to me and Zain. "That," she said as we ran out the door. "Was the most fun I've had in years."

"You could have died!"

She shrugged. "Well, I was handing it. Thanks for helping out, by the way."

"No problem." I answered, smiling.

I'd hurt him and I liked it.
