A/N Hey people! It's me again. I would've gotten this chapter up sooner but my brother hogs the computer and I'm a procrastinater. As usual, I own nothing which completely sucks. Anyway, lets roll out chapter 3!

The line of vampires stopped dead and looked over in the direction of the scream. Jake, Nessie, and I followed their gaze.

It was Esme. She had left her spot in the back of the group, and was now just a few short yards from her son.

"Yes, dear Esme?' Aro asked. I could've sworn I caught a hint of annoyance from Jane. "She must like tearing peoples' husbands apart." I whispered to Jake. He barked in agreement. Then Nessie showed me a picture of Jane on fire. I couldn't help but laugh.

I guess she heard me, because I heard her growl, and then felt her vain attempt to torture my daughter and Jacob. I just flashed her a big smile, and enjoyed her frustration.

Aro cleared his throat. "Esme, do you have something you would like to say?"

She nodded, and said "Please, don't kill Edward. He he's only been with his mate for two years." She glanced at Sulpicia. "How would you feel if you lost yours?"

Aro locked eyes with his mate for a long moment. I was still trying to wrap my head around how someone so heartless could possibly love.

Aro looked back at Esme curiously. "So if Edward is not to die, then who is willing to die for him?"

It was silent for a few seconds. Then…

"Me." She whispered.

An indescribable gasp ran our side of the clearing. The wolves' jaws fell open. Nessie started sobbing again.

That's when she put her hand to my cheek, telling me to look at grandpa. And when I did, it made me feel completely hollow.

Carlisle's expression was one of utter shock, devastation, horror, and – above all – pure agony.

A/N did you like it? I hope you did, cause I lost a lot of sleep over this.

My sister thought the "Jane on fire" thing was adorable. In an "everyone hates Jane" kind of way. Also, my plan to take over Twilight has failed. Oh well. I tried to make this chapter longer than I normally would have, but it think it's too short. Can someone tell me? Also, can anyone explain this – how the feck do you put a vampire back together? No one ever explains it.
