Protective Sister
(APOV)
I was still holding Edward as he dry sobbed, when I was hit by a vision. This vision made me realize why I hadn't been able to see Rosalie or Esme. It was only now I could see them because they were in trouble, I felt Edward stiffen up under my arms.
"Alice are you sure that is going to happen" he asked very worried. I nodded my head and let of a whimper. "We need to get to Forks and we need to get there now" he spoke up again. Carlisle, Jasper, Emmett and I took off after Edward. I hoped that we would get there just in time. I didn't really know when it would happen, but if we could at least help. We raced for hours not even stopping to hunt. It seemed like an eternity when we reached the house we left in Forks. As we stepped out of the forest I faintly saw Rosalie race into the house.
We followed behind Edward as he moved in behind the wolves. I couldn't believe the sight in front of me. Esme was right behind Rosalie as we entered the house through the kitchen doors. We followed the smell to the living room. There stood several vampires I didn't know, but could remember seeing in a portrait of Carlisle's in his office, and they didn't look happy at all. It was now that knew who they were it was Aro, Caius, Marcus and some other vampires along with Victoria. Bella stood in the middle of the room. I watched as Rosalie motioned for her to walk to her. She even took a step toward her, but it was almost as if she was frozen in place.
"Bella, come to me, please just walk this way" she said as Bella eyed her up. She looked in the other direction and searched the faces.
"Rosalie, I want to, but I need to go the other way. I want this more than anything. Please understand that" she said as she took a step in the other direction. Rosalie lost it then, she jumped to her and pulled her to her side. There were now more wolves behind me and beside me. The vampires across from us were shrieking and hissing at us. It was war and there was no way to know what would happen. I was getting fuzzy and muggy images; it must be the darn wolves.
I looked at Edward; he began to move toward the front, where Esme and Rosalie stood. The rest of us followed him. The wolves didn't like to be pushed to the side, but allowed us pass by them. Carlisle took his place beside Esme and Rosalie reliantly moved to Emmett's side as Edward took her place beside Bella, I took my place beside Jasper.
"Aro, May I ask what your business is here" Carlisle asked politely. He stepped forward just an inch to show respect to Aro.
"Carlisle I wish I could have come to see you and your family under better circumstances, but it seems that you and your family have broken the law" Aro spoke as he moved toward us. "You see it's not often that we have one of our own killed or destroyed in your case to protect a human" he continued. He was a little bit puzzled by why there were giant sized wolves in our company. He looked around from person to animal. This wasn't a good sign.
"Aro, the human girl wasn't his to take and James tried to kill her" Carlisle began, but was cut off by one of the other men.
"Human's are our food source, so what if James wanted to kill the human. Her purpose is for our nourishment" he said in a snapping voice. He couldn't care less what would happen to Bella. I was sad now; I thought she would be alright.
Then I heard a whimpering voice speak up, "Aro, sir please spare the Cullen's. This is my entire fault; I discovered their truth about them being vampires. It was me that James was after they shouldn't be punished for that. Edward tried several times to make me understand how dangerous it was for me being around them, but I wouldn't listen to him" she wanted to continue but was cut off by Edward.
"If there is anyone to blame it is me. I allowed myself to be weak and to fall in love with the human. It was I who decided that James had to be destroyed. I will take the blame, but I am not sorry for that choice. He murdered people for fun as a game. He was no more a saint to the vampires as I am. Yes I have murdered humans, but only those who deserved to be killed. I would never choose to be that kind of a monster if it was the only way to exist" he said as he moved forward.
"Aro, my friend, we have lived together and been friends for a long time, but can you honestly say that what James was doing was right. Hunting humans as a sport, Aro, Caius and Marcus we have rules for a reason. What James was doing goes beyond your rules? Yes it troubled me to have to watch as my family had to destroy him, but it was that or for my son to lose his own life. He would have come to you for death if anything happened to the human. I couldn't lose him" Carlisle spoke as he moved forward to Aro.
I noticed no that the wolves now replaced by teenage boys. I looked at Edward who shrugged his shoulder and I searched his memories Quileutes from when they were here before. It seemed strange that these boys would change into wolves, but I guess no stranger than us being vampire. What a thought mortal enemies brought together by one human girl, how silly that seemed.
"I would like to see if what you are saying is true" Aro spoke kindly, "Edward Please come forward and raise your hand to me." Edward moved up to Aro and put his hand up. Aro placed his hand over Edward's and closed his eyes. I could see all of Edward's memories flashing before Aro's eyes. Edward didn't like having to give up his private thoughts one bit. "Wow, my young friend. Your own personal Siren is standing right behind you. It's weird how you can stand to be around her when you trust for her blood. I guess strangely the fact that you have taken blood from her to save her life changes one's views about another" he said looking at Bella. He moved closer to Bella and put his hand out. Bella placed her hand under his in an instance. She was already plotting on how she was going to get Edward to stay.
"How strange it is, this was seems to have a protective shield around her. You can't read her thoughts I can't see her memories. She is a special human at that. No wonder every mythical creature wants a piece of her. She not only draws vampires to her, but also werewolves. Ha, what a story to tell the guard back home" Aro spoke kindly to Bella.
"Brother, have you forgotten our purpose, she knows to much" spoke up Caius as he gestured his long finger to Bella.
"It's not forgotten. Her mate gave up that she will one day be just like him. It has already been written in stone. She will be very valuable if she ever joins us. Can't you see the potential? I wouldn't expect our young friends here to change her now, not when she is expecting anyhow" he went on to say. I was puzzled, how could I not see that coming.
Three things happened all at once; Victoria jumped over the guard, Edward grabbed Bella to protect her and the werewolves transformed in front of us. I don't know what was about to happen, but I was scared stiff. Would we still make it out of this all together or would we perish?
