Chapter 13

Visitors and Killing

We sat in the living room and now only Edward was by my side. Mom looked at our hands.

"When did that happen?" She asked as she pointed at our hands. Edward squeezed my hand lightly.

"Well…we're kind of taking it slow mom…after everything that happened I didn't want to jump into a relationship so…it's just slow and steady." I explained. Mom smiled and nodded in acceptance. She would have been a little annoyed if I had just jumped into a relationship after everything that happened.

"I'm kind of happy that you're a vampire now, Bells." My dad whispered. I looked at him in shock.

"Why?" I asked. Dad ignored me and continued on with what he was saying.

"I'm not saying that I wont miss your half human and half vampire self, Bells. What I'm saying is that it's good that we don't have to move away from here. I can see that you've settled in and that you have great friends who are just like us." Dad finished in a whisper. My face softened and I smiled at my dad. I ran over and hugged him.

"I'm happy too, dad." I whispered in his ear. I felt like crying at the moment, but nothing came. I pulled back. "But in all honesty, I didn't really want to be changed by Jaden." I told him. I hugged him once more before sitting back down next to Edward.

"We're so glad that you're home. You don't know how much that letter broke our hearts." Mom told me. I smiled at her sadly.

"Even Jaden's letter was heartbreaking. Knowing that he had used mind control over you to get your blood. I hate him." Dad hissed. I looked over at my dad in understanding. I hated Jaden too and wanted to kill him.

"Can we kill him?" I asked brightly. Mom and dad looked at me in surprise while Edward just chuckled at me. "What? We all hate him and he was a bastard –" mom cleared her throat at my language. I smiled sheepishly at her. "Sorry. Anyway, we all know that he took me away so he could…kill me. Isn't that enough reason for killing him?" I demanded. Mom sighed.

"We really shouldn't kill him, Bella…but maybe the Volturi could." She smirked.

"The Volturi? Are they coming…here?" I demanded. I tightened my grip on Edward's hand. Though I was a vampire and knew that the Volturi wouldn't take me, I was still scared of them.

"Yes. They are and Bella, loosen your grip on Edward's hand. I think you're about to crush the bones." Mom looked at Edward's hand with a worried expression. I quickly loosened my grip and looked at Edward apologetically. I forgot that I was a newborn vampire.

"Why?" I demanded. Mom sighed.

"They figured out about you. I don't know how, but they did. I'm just glad that you're a vampire now. It should be okay." Mom explained.

"Should." I stressed under my breath. Edward gave my hand a little squeeze and I smiled at him. "Can I go see the rest of the Cullens?" I asked mom, dad and Edward.

"Sure. If you want to." Dad said with a shrug. I turned to Edward.

"They'd love to see you." Edward smiled and stood. I stood with him and followed him to the door. We walked out and hopped into his Volvo before speeding towards his home.

"How does your car stand this terrain?" I asked him as we bumped up and down in his car.

"I don't do this very much…besides, it isn't far to my house." And he was right. His house wasn't as far as I had thought. I suppose that I had taken a long way to get there when I followed that scent. Oh well. Edward had stopped the car and was by my side in a flash, opening my door.

"Thanks." I smiled at him as I got out. We walked to the door and just as Edward was reaching for the door handle, the door swung open and there stood all the Cullens in the doorway with Alice at the door. Alice had seen us coming.

"Bella!!" Alice yelled before pulling me into a tight hug. I greeted all the Cullens and we were all sitting inside the living room.

"I see you made it through your transformation, Bella dear." I turned to see Jaden standing in the doorway with a smirk across his face. Rage filled me as I stood up and faced him.

"What are you doing here?" I hissed at him. Jaden pretended to check his nails as though he had won something.

"Just bare in mind that I own you." A snarl escaped my lips.

"I belong to no one!" I snarled at him. Jaden raised an eyebrow and smirked at me.

"Really?" He was testing my control. I could tell. "How so? I do believe I claimed you when we were in that little cottage."

"That was just so you could have your fun you bastard!" I didn't want to hear anymore, so I lunged at him. I missed him and crashed into the wall before following him outside where I caught him. I would have to apologize for the damage I just made with the door.

"Do you really hate me that much?" He demanded as I stood in front of him in a tense, crouch position. He was standing in the same position. I growled.

"Bella!" I heard someone call my name but I didn't listen. I was focused on Jaden at the moment. His eyes a burning crimson red, I knew that I didn't have as much strength as he would have; as I had animal blood inside of me and my small amount of human blood. Jaden and I continued to fight, trying to tear each other to shreds. Jaden had ripped of a few of my fingers on my right hand and had ripped my left arm off, which gave me a major disadvantage…if I hadn't already ripped out one of his legs and both arms.

"Let's finish this." I hissed before jumping at him. I wrapped my arm around his neck and pulled hard. He fell to the floor and tried to get up. I sat on his chest and looked to Edward. Edward came over and ripped Jaden's head off. I winced at the high pitch sound and Jaden's scream. I got up and Edward ripped the other leg from Jaden's torso. He picked the parts up and started piling them up. I watched as the fire burnt with the strong incense and the purple pillar of smoke. Jaden was gone and I wouldn't have to worry about him anymore and other girls would be safe too. Alice came skipping to my side.

"Here are your fingers and arm." She sang. I smiled at her and made sure that everything reattached properly.

I danced over to Edward and took hold of his hand. He looked down at me.

"Thanks." I whispered before giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. I felt rather embarrassed as I remembered that his family was watching. I hid myself in my hair. Then some movement caught my eye. My head snapped up and I watched as seven people walked forward wearing large cloaks, followed by my parents.
