Chapter 14: James Battle

BPOV

"Edward, I love you." was the last thing I said as I walked out of the house. I wanted to make sure if something did happen to me that I knew he was safe. My first stop after once again running the perimeter was to the La Push boarder. I waited there for all of about five minutes before I was being surrounded by wolves. A young man no more than 20 walked out of the middle of them. I looked for Jacob but I didn't see him among the rest.

"What are you doing here bloodsucker?" He asked trying to sound tough. He was trying to play like he was the alpha wolf when I knew for a fact that Jacob was.

"I'm here to speak with your alpha Jacob Black." I aid loud enough that all the wolves could hear the authority in my voice, being best friends with the pack alpha does have some perks.

"Jacob is away watching a vampire. What do you want with him. We can transmit the message to him for you." The man said. "My name is Sam, I am the Beta wolf so you know."

"My name I Bella, thank you." I paused and turned on my mind reading power. "Jacob who are you watching?"

Through the wolves eyes I saw James he looked like he was thinking of a surprise attack that he was planning. Must be planning his attack on the Cullens home but he will never be able to get in there. "Jake be careful that vampire there I dangerous." I could hear his mental chuckle. "Where are you Jake?"

We will take you there, thought one of the wolves.

"Thank you," I said to the wolves while same ran to the woods to transform back into his wolf form. "Let's go."

We took off running and we met up with Jake just a couple of minutes later. "Jake how many are there?"

Just the one which is why I don't understand, why would he go up against 7 vampires alone? (Jake)

Are we sure that he is the only one? (Sam)

Yes I have circled around here several times. (Jake)

"Okay here is the plan…" Just as I started to say something more we heard several more vampires coming. "Crud! He called in reinforcements."

What took them so long to get here? Why are they coming now? Darn this is going to get bad. (Jake)

We have to find out how many there are and if we can beat them. Bella we will help you if Jake will allow it. (Sam) This was followed by several wolves saying, "I'm in."

"Okay, thank you all. I will do all I can to make sure that no one gets hurt." We looked and waited as three other vampires joined James. I didn't recognize any of them. Crud… crud… crud. was all that I could think.

"How many wolves do we have?" I asked to no one in particular.

Ten of us. (Jake)

"Okay here is the plan, I want to take him by surprise because if we all just charge then someone can get hurt. I will take James you ten take the other three. None of there powers will work on you as long as I am alive. Trust in me and we can do this." I said.

How do we take him by surprise? (Jake)

"I am going to walk out alone and you all wait till I signal you. They can't get away I have a bubble around us to keep them in." I said to them.

Be safe. (Jake and Sam). Was the last thing I heard before I walked out towards where James was talking to the other three. When I stepped out into the clearing I recognized it as the place where we in the baseball field. "James!" I screamed.

James jumped startled at the fact that someone snuck up on him. "What are you doing her Princess?" He asked spitting the last word.

"I'm here because you have become a problem for a friend of mine." I said.

"What ever do you mean Princess?" He asked sounding sickly sweet.

"Don't play games with me James." I said in the same tone.

"Fine, but you are alone what are you going to do about it. There are four of us even if you are as powerful as they say there is no way for you to take us all." He said with a trumpet grin.

"But am I really alone?" I said with a big grin as the wolves started walking out. I could see the fear course through all the vampires eyes. "Don't bother running you won't get no where."

With that last thought the fight broke out. James charged at me only to get thrown back the other way. Then I charged at him he was too easy before he could even stand up I had his arm ripped off and thrown into aside to burn later. "What's wrong James I thought that I couldn't win alone."

He charged again this time I ripped the other arm off, followed soon by both of his legs. I waited till I knew that the others were safe before I started a fire. As soon as I threw James into the fire I heard a loud growl and turned around just in time to see one of the vampires charge at me. I didn't have time to do anything other then move out of the way of the fire but by that time I had already been thrown much harder into a tree then I had ever been before and I felt all my shields go down and my world faded to black…

"Edward, I love you." was the last thing she said as he walked out of the door I couldn't believe that even through all the problems we are having she still loves me even when I am having a hard time fighting my feelings for her. I love her but she is Volturi, I know that shouldn't matter but for some reason it does to me.

"Edward you idiot you just let her walk away." Alice screamed in my face.

"Edward you are bigger then an idiot. You have no idea what you have put that women through how she can still love a selfish stupid moron like you is beyond me. If you did what you did to her to me then I would have turned my back on you a long time ago. That goes for everyone here in this room Bella just walked out the door to save the life of your daughter or your sister and all you can do is sit her and think about how she is freaking Volturi? Well let me tell you this the Volturi can not be that bad your own father use to live with us." Victoria screamed. We all looked at her with shock all over our faces.

"The Volturi can not be all bad in the fact that they send you Bella to protect you. Bella is the nicest, sweetest, and most selfless person that I know. You all turned your back on her and yet she defends you with her life. Edward I hope that you smarten up before she comes back because if you don't you will never get near enough to her to hurt her again and if you come any where near her I will rip off your manliness." Victoria said with a sickly smile.

I didn't know what to say. I finally had my mind to myself and I didn't know what to think of this whole thing. I couldn't believe that Victoria was right. I was such and idiot I have to go after her. I got up to run out of the house but I got not more then five feet from the front door then I ran right straight into a freaking brick wall, or at least that's what it felt like to me.

"What the hell?" I screamed.

"She already told you that she put us in a bubble the only way it is going to come down is if she is here and takes it down herself or.." Alice trailed off.

"Or what Alice?" I asked I hadn't been paying close enough attention after she said she was going after James. I was having an internal battle over if I can forgive her or if I let her leave when this is all over. Then she was gone.

"If she dies." Alice said in a sad whisper.

"No I can't let that happen, Alice. Why did we let her go. Victoria why didn't you go with her. She can't fight them herself." I yelled pacing and trying not to freak out.

What if something happens to her? What if she dies before I can tell her how I feel for her? What if this is the end? I can't let her died? I kept thinking glad for once that the only thoughts going on in my head were my own but then the worst thing in the world happened Bella's shields fell and Alice screamed, "No!!"

What does this mean? Is Bella dead or alive?
