I want to thank all the readers who didn't log in and I hope you stick with my story. Sorry for the unexpected twist, but I hope you will enjoy this chapter! Next chapter going to be written for my one-shots will be the chapter where Bella reveals her abuse (chapter 20) previously in Bella's and Edward's POV, now in Esme's. This was proposed by Twyfan. Thanks again for the proposition!

Chapter 22

Jacob POV

"Time to go get her, dad." I called. He grunted in response and I helped him into the car.
"Okay, now remember Jake, we go in there, then we bring her back to Charlie. He wants to finish her off so don't be tempted. Soon, everything will be okay." I nodded. Over the years, Billy and Charlie have remained friends, my dad knows Charlie's secrets. He was like a second father to me, and I grew up despising Bella for all the sadness she had caused Charlie. My hands started shaking when I remembered every single time Charlie came to our house, drunk and in emotional pain- it was always her fault.
"Steady now, it will all be over soon." I quickly controlled my anger; phasing here would only injure my father. I was struggling to calm down, so my father tried to earn my concentration,
"Remind me of what we need to do Jacob."
"W-we need t-to go to the hospital a-and" I took a deep breath. "We need to go to the hospital and find a way to get her out of there before we bring her back to Charlie's apartment in Seattle. We wait until he is finished and calls us and we help him dispose of the body. Then, we help him change his name once again and get into Europe where we will join him in about six months to make sure nobody gets his trail." I repeated our plan for like, the hundreth time.
"Well done." Billy approved. I drove in silence for a while longer before I spoke up.

"How do you think she survived? Charlie was sure he had killed her, or atleast only given her a few minutes to live. How did she get help? Even if she did get that help, how did they get there that fast?" This part still puzzled me. There was no way Isabella should have survived her last encounter with Charlie. That is why he told her his secret- she was never supposed to live.
"I don't know. But it doesn't matter anymore, the mistake will be rectified today." My father responded coldly. He hated the girl as much as me, if not more. However, he had more control than me, and instead of being rash, he came up with smarter ways to cause others pain which doesn't include harming yourself.
"We're here." I said eventually before helping Billy out of the car and into his wheelchair.

As soon as we entered the hospital, a sickly sweet scent hit me.
"Vampires." I spat. We went up to the front desk and asked for Isabella Barker's room. She wasn't allowed visitors, but once again my dad was very persuasive. A nurse led us up to her room. The vampire's scent got stronger and stronger as we neared the room. When we entered, we were surprised to see seven vampires crowded around the bed of an ugly girl. One of the vamps with bronze hair growled at me.

Crap, this isn't going to help anything.

Alice POV

I was extremely angry, yet satisfied at the same time. Finally, I could understand why Bella's future disappeared ten years ago. It was when her future mingled with this creature. How? I am not sure yet, but I am hoping that the dog isn't a friend.
"What are you doing here?" Emmett hissed.
"Bringing Bella back to her father where she belongs." The dog spat back. The old man in the wheelchair groaned while we snarled under our breath.
"Isabella Barker is no where near being discharged yet, and when she is, she isn't going within a ten mile radius to her father or you." Carlisle said, anger bubbling up to the surface. To that, the pup had the nerve to laugh- a low, harsh laugh.
"Ooh! So Isabella Barker hasn't told you then?" he mocked. What was he saying? Jasper tried to diffuse calm.
"Who exactly are you?" Jasper asked as controlled as he could muster.
"You worst nightmare." The mutt joked sarcastically. Rosalie growled but the old man intervened.
"I am Billy Black, Marc's best friend and right now, we need to do him a favor, so just get out of the way." Billy may have said it calmly, but there was hatred in his voice. I had another eureka moment during his speech. Bella was blind to me because her future was mixed with her father's and her father's was mixed with a werewolf. So I have been worrying my head off for the past ten years, unable to help Bella because of this stupid MUTT! Abruptly, my husband's hand was on my shoulder.

"Calm down dear."
"Eugh! 'Dear'. As if that bloodsucker has EMOTIONS!" The boy roared taking us all by surprise. He was shaking violently now.
"No. Not here with Bella." Edwards suddenly said. We were all confused until Esme's mouth opened with a tiny 'o' of horror. Reality hit me a second later, if the mongrel was to shift here, in this tiny room, Bella wouldn't survive. However, even with Jasper's frantic waves of calm, the dog was already in too deep. Billy slipped out of the room, but I was too preoccupied to care.

Edward flashed to Bella's side and removed all tubes and wires with Carlisle who gave her a shot to make sure she wouldn't wake up anytime soon. Edward then proceeded to jump out the window with Bella safely cradled in his arms. He was flanked by Rosalie and Esme. All this was done in a matter of seconds. The loud, familiar explosion noise reached me first, before I was roughly slammed into the window with enough force to break it and send me flying out the building.

"Alice!" I heard Jasper cry, but I was okay and he should know it- we are vampires. I swiftly angled my body so that I landed on my feet. Jasper engulfed me in a hug shortly after- he had followed me. The sweet moment was shortly lived as the dog also jumped out of the hospital followed by the rest of my family. He immediately ran in the direction of the forest; following Bella's scent. Jasper, Emmett, Carlisle and I ran too.

What did the world have against Bella?

Emmett POV

As I was running after that jerk, I couldn't help all my built-up anger from the past fifteen years to rise in me again. I could see Edward, Bella, Rose and Esme ahead followed by the idiot and I was right behind him with the rest of the family. He really was stupid. Did he honestly think that he could beat seven vampires? Not only that, but seven vampires who would rather die than have Bella harmed again? Edward wasn't as fast as he usually is since he was desperately trying not to jostle Bella too much and harm her. This allowed the werewolf to close the distance between them. The dog abruptly jumped on Edward, sending the still unconscious Bella sprawling to the ground. I lost it.

I caught up with the dog and immediately pinned him to the floor while Jasper and Rose helped me restrain him. We were not deep in the forest, but far enough that we didn't need to be worried about being seen.
"Is she ok?" I called over the struggling mass of fur. Carlisle let out a strangled moan.
"I think she broke another rib." He whispered. I growled and tightened my grip on the mutt until I broke one of his ribs.
"You hurt my sister, and I will do the exact same thing to you!" I said menacingly. The wolf yelped and tried to snap at my face. Rosalie snarled.

"Enough." Came a strong yet scared voice. I turned around to see the dog's father in the wheelchair, having finally reached us.

"Let him go." His voice held authority but we didn't even loosen our grip.
"For god's sake! Release him and we won't harm your stupid protégé!" The dog let out a surprised yelp and we all stood in shock. Could it be that ease?
"You have my word." Edward nodded in confirmation. We let go of the struggling werewolf who immediately phased.
"Dad, are you crazy? What about all she did to Ch- I mean Marc?!"
"All she did?" Esme hissed.
"He practically beat her to death!" I enforced.
"She got what she deserved." The mutt growled and we all crouched protectively in front of Bella.
"That's enough Jacob. I will not have you fight when you have no chance of survival." Oh so the pup's name was Jacob now was it?
"Ye, Jacob you don't want to get involved with out crowd." I sneered and he bore his teeth at me.

"We will not harm Bella." Billy assured his voice hard. I am not completely sure, but there was a little too much emphasis on 'we' for me. After a bit more of persuasion, Jacob pulled his father away, sending us glares.
"I'm so scared!" I mouthed to him, grinning.
"Emmett you idiot! Don't aggravate him!" Rose slapped me on the head.
"But Rose! He was being a total ass!" I complained and she just rolled her eyes.
"Is Bella okay?" Alice asked.
"I gave her enough sedative that she didn't wake up, but I need to tend to her rib." Carlisle answered.
"Let's get her back to the hospital." Edward whispered and took Bella back into his arms. We started walking back in silence.

"Edward, I felt mischief coming off of Billy. Did he mean what he said?" Ahhh Jasper, my man! Asking my questions so I didn't look stupid. Edward rolled his eyes at me. Why does everybody do that?
"Yes, they have no intention of harming her themselves. However, they hate her. Especially the dog. Billy was partially blocking his thoughts though. They want her in pain." Edward's voice contorted in anger.
"Edward, control yourself and loosen your grip on Bella!" Rose shrieked. Edward's face abruptly crumpled in guilt and he decided to pass Bella to Esme.
"Sorry." He mumbled.

"Mhmmm. Not again." Bella whispered in her sleep.
"We need to get her back to the hospital before she wakes up." Carlisle stated. As we ran back, Bella talked softly and the irony of her words didn't escape me. 'Not again'. When everything seems to start to get better, it all collapses. Not again…

Just as we settled her in her new room (Carlisle had to do some major cover-up story for her old room's destruction) and put her in her new bed, she mumbled,
"What are you?" We all tensed, but what shocked us more were the startling brown eyes staring up at us.

Bella was awake.

Ooh! Another important scene coming up! I am sorry if anybody was confused or upset about this chapter. I am seriously nervous about it! There was a lot of hinting to why Jacob and Billy gave up so quickly- sort of a prediction… But I will give no more away!
