What You've Done
E POV

'WAIT' I yelled.

What was everyone playing at? I have to get her back, as soon as she snaps out of this ridiculous 'angelus' thing. She should apologise for calling me a bastard as well. My Bella would never swear.

'What do you think you are doing? Get out of here! You're coming with us right now!'

I walked over to her, slightly faster than intended, and looked her firmly in the eyes.

'No. I'm happy here. You hurt me. So much that I tried to kill myself.'

What.

'I was so depressed that I just wanted to die.'

What?

'I just wanted it all to stop.'

WHAT?

'But then Aro saved me.'

That did it.

'STOP TALKING LIES!' I roared at her.

Then I brought my hand up...

A POV
He hit her.
Someone had physically laid hands on my precious filia and harmed her. She had been hurt, not only physically but emotionally. Going with my instincts I gathered her in my arms, she was weeping. I had to deal with this, and now. I passed her to Carlisle, he was the only one I trusted enough to keep her safe.

'Look after her.' He nodded solemnly.

I turned to Edward. I knew my eyes were black. I knew even the whites of my eyes were tinged with anger.

'I'm not going to kill you. Because that would upset Bella. She is the most important person here. Now get out, and if I ever so much as smell you again don't think I'll be as merciful.'

He ran. Good riddance.

C POV
Wow. Aro didn't kill him. The Aro that I knew would have had his head in a heartbeat. He really must have changed. As has Edward. How could he have hit her? I understand why he might be angry but that's no excuse for violence. He actually struck her! I'm so disappointed in him. There was also the fact that Aro had deemed me trustworthy enough to hold Bella. I realised now she obviously meant the world to him, for the first time in over 300 years I was worried about harming a human. Not because I wanted to harm her, but because I knew how precious she was to my friend.

E POV
Edward is no longer my son. I love my children with all my heart and soul but I cannot love someone who would physically harm a young girl such as Bella. Her face afterwards reminded me of Rosalie's when she remembered what had happened to her before her change. I trusted my husband to keep her safe.

J POV
Everybody feeling sorry for themselves having to watch Edward hit Bella, they didn't have to feel her emotions. There was the pure terror, obviously. But there was also this terrible sense of resignation, followed by the worst thing I have ever felt. She felt like she deserved it. She was still hurting from when we left her, it seemed not even Aro could fix her fully which must have been the hint of regret I was getting from him. She felt it was her fault that we had left, that she was somehow unworthy of him. She was so wrong, he was unworthy of her. There was no way I was going to let Edward get away with this.

A POV
Jasper gave me his hand, although I didn't need help from an empath to know what my darling was feeling. I hated how that child was making her feel. She was still crying in Carlisle's arms, he looked at a loss for how to console her.

'Give her to me.'

I cradled her in my arms and she settled a little. This was it; I finally had to fix her. But before that the Cullens had to know what they had done to her.

'Tell them Jasper.' I failed to hide the anger in my voice. 'Tell them what you've done.'

His expression was pained.

'She believes she deserves to be struck. She thinks it's her fault and that we left because she was unworthy of us.'

Gasps echoed around the room. I looked down at Bella, she was sleeping now, but her face was still unbearably pained.

'Look at her. Take a good look at what you've done.'

Esme and Rosalie broke down into tearless sobs, and I considered my point proved. I didn't notice how unusually quiet Alice had been throughout this whole debacle...

A POV
He hit her. I can't believe he hit her. Hell yes! Nice one Edward! I left the room whilst everyone was pointlessly crying over that human bitch to go congratulate him. I found him outside an airport in Rome, and ran up to hug him.

'Nice one Edward! Way to assert your authority!'

He grinned at me.

'I know right? Soon she'll be my Bella again.'

'But how are you gonna do that?' I asked 'Aro banned you from going anywhere near her'

He glared at me.

'Sorry', I said. 'It'

'Aro will come round. I'll convince her to be mine and then she'll serve me forever!' (AN - was SO tempted to add an evil laugh in here!)
Well I personally thought that was a brilliant plan. He just had to wait a while; Aro had obviously gone so soft keeping a human for a pet that he wouldn't put up much of a fight. From the corner of my eye I saw Jasper running towards me, great! I thought he had come to join in the fun. It appears I was wrong. He went straight for Edward, grabbing him forcefully by the throat.

'YOU BASTARD!' He screamed. 'DO YOU REALISE WHAT YOU'VE DONE?'

'Yes.' Edwards expression was smug 'I've asserted my authority.'

I think that did it for Jasper. He closed both of his hands around Edwards's neck and twisted, hard.

AN – Does anyone else think Edward sounds a bit like an evil genius in this? Now I don't want to be one of these authors that are all 'REVIEW OR DIE!' but some feedback would be very lovely. Next chapter coming up soon!
