Protective Sister
(EPOV)—Yeah you all wanted this!
I knew that no matter what happened in the next moment I would follow Rosalie, who had chose to be better than me and protect Bella. Listening to her thoughts assured me that she would let no harm befall Bella. I put my whole trust into Rosalie's hands. She had spent the last two months watching over Bella so what would be just a little bit longer. I grabbed Bella when I saw in Victoria's mind that she was going to attack. I pushed Bella toward Rosalie and whispered, "No matter what Rosalie, you had better keep her safe." Then I lunged for Victoria and pounced on her.
I wanted to get her as far away from Bella as I could so I tossed her toward the big window in our living room. She landed about four feet in front of me. I made my way out the broken shards of what was left of the window toward her. I could sense that the werewolves followed us outside and formed a circle around our fight. I did everything I could to beat her down. Every attack I sent her way she countered me by biting me anywhere that she could. I knew I had several bite marks already covering the majority of my face and hands, but I didn't let that stop me from trying to destroy her.
I felt the shift in the wolves whenever Victoria would get to close to them. I felt bad thinking that they were watching two vampires going at each other and they couldn't even help destroy her. I was letting myself get distracted because as I thought that Victoria grabbed my left arm and jerked it as hard as she could. I felt as my arm detached itself from the socket and now laid limp at my side. The pain from that being done, and all of her venom that had begun to seep into my body was causing me excruciating pain. This pain was double the amount of pain that I felt as my human body was dying while I was changing into a vampire.
Victoria was also driving me insane with her jostling as she beat me. I not only was losing to a sadistic vampire all set on killing my Bella, but the damn wolves were just watching. I collapsed on the ground out of weakness, though I didn't think I would ever lose my strength. The wolves now tried to end her life, but as a rusty colored wolf went to nip at her she shoved her way through the other wolves. I watched in horror as Victoria escaped, but right now I needed to get inside and see Bella.
I was a little disappointed with the wolves so as I stumbled from the ground I pushed my way past them. I didn't care about hurting their feelings; they sure as hell didn't do a good job of protecting Bella by allowing Victoria to escape. I listened into the minds of the people in the house as I continued to fumble and stumble into my home. Bella was safe, she wasn't hurt. As I entered the front door I watched heart broken as my sisters, mother and Bella's heads turned to look at me. I could see in all of their eyes the sadness from seeing me in this broken state. I would be of no help to them in my detached mind set. I was of no use to our cause in this manner.
Bella was the only one who made any movement at all as she lunged at me. I had mustered up just enough energy to keep her from landing flat on her face. I looked over at Rosalie and she just shrugged her shoulders. I guess I was on my own now. Bella just snuggled into my sore side and tried to trace the faint crescent shapes from Victoria's bites on my face. I gave her my favorite crocked smile and hugged her the best way I could.
"I'm sorry Bella, I hope that one day you'll be able to forgive me for ever putting you through all of this" I whispered into her hair as I snuggled my head down on her shoulders. I was caught up in the moment that I forgot about the rest of the people who were all in the room until someone cleared their throat. I looked up to see Aro looking at us quite amused. He gave a small chuckle and smiled. He then whispered to his people and they took their leave. He stayed behind to see if he could be of any help.
"We still have a situation, bloodsuckers" spoke an unfamiliar voice clearing the space. "That bloodsucker got away" everything came crashing down again. I tried to stay focused on my Bella who was in my arms, but I couldn't with all the pain I was feeling. My good arm slowly slipped to my side as darkness began to overpower me.
(RPOV)
I watched in horror as Edward walked or should I say stumbled into the house. He was all torn up. Bella was at his side in a flash. It broke my heart to see Bella in so much pain, even after all she has gone through this shouldn't be happening. She loved Edward so badly and now she would be hurting because he was.
Esme broke the silence after that foul odor smelling dog made his comments and views known. I mean he was out there as Edward was fighting with Victoria, what was he doing just watching as the sadistic bitch tore my brother apart. Does that dog even have a heart, and yet he has the nerve to degrade vampires?
"Bella dear you're going to have to let Carlisle take Edward to fix him up" Esme whispered as she knelled next to Bella. Edward had just passed out, we all knew that, but didn't want to alarm Bella.
"No, I don't want to leave him. I haven't seen him in two months. Esme he might leave me again" Bella half whispered and half cried. I was really torn to see her so broken. Bella just snuggled herself closer to Edward making him wince once more. Aro moved toward Bella now.
"Bella, sweet child, Carlisle won't allow him to leave you. I also believe from that fight he just endured he really doesn't plan on leaving you. He needs to be put back together or it'll be more painful for him. He has endured a very horrible and terrible ordeal. He needs to get better. He won't be able to help his family in this state" he spoke in a whispering voice trying to calm Bella down. She just shook her head and buried it into his sore shoulder.
I decided I needed to help so I bent down to Bella and gently pried her off of Edward. She wasn't going smoothly; she wiggled and struggled with me until I had her firmly in my arms so Emmett could get Edward. I watched as Emmett picked Edward up as gently as possible trying hard not to jostle or hurt him anymore. What a sight that was me watching as he lifted Edward up like a broken rag doll. Aro took his leave and whispered to Carlisle he would be in touch about Victoria. Alice had his black bag in her hands. Emmett led the way with Edward, followed closely by Alice and Carlisle, Bella and I brought up the back.
Bella was just whimpering as we headed for Edward's room, which Esme and I had made into Bella's room for whenever she stayed with us. It was pretty much set up the same as before he left except for now there was a huge bed in the middle of the room. Emmett laid him on the bed and I placed Bella on the couch. She snuggled up to one of the pillows, Alice decided to sit beside her. Emmett took his leave, so I decided to follow him. I just couldn't stand to see my family so broken.
I forgot that I looked different as I tried to give Emmett a kiss. He pulled away from me and went to push past me.
"I'm sorry, but I have a wife. Who would be really mad at me if I made out with you even though you are pretty darn hot" he said as he went toward the stairs. I smiled at him and laughed, damn he was hot when he was trying to act all smart. Seriously was Emmett trying to play dumb or did he really not know who I was. I decided to let it go and went to pas by him to head down the stairs when he pulled me to him.
"Although I don't think I should let you go so fast 'Hot Stuff." Let's just keep this to ourselves. What my wife doesn't know won't hurt her?" he said with a smile on his face as he pulled me to him for a kiss. After getting one he smiled again and whispered in my ear, "I've missed you babe" and continued to kiss me. Damn he made me go all soft as he began to trail kisses on my neck and lips. I pulled him toward our room and went in. I sure did miss him to. I was now planning on showing him just how much I missed him as I closed and locked the door.

Rosalie and Emmett had just left us all alone. I knew in my mind what Emmett had in store for Rosalie. He had just spent two long months away from her had almost drove him and me crazy. Rosalie was in store for it I know. I also knew even though Rosalie didn't look like herself Emmett knew it was her. I'm glad I'm in here instead of out there with them in the hallway. I really don't want to watch as my brother hit or should I say flirt with my sister. I had already seen it in a vision, and I was still nauseated from it. I mean come on I have all of eternity to see that stuff, I didn't have to watch it right now at this moment.
Carlisle was really shook up; he was having a hard time getting Edward to relax. Even though Edward was out cold so to say, he was still fighting in his mind. Jasper came into the room; he looked almost as bad as Edward except for all the brokenness. He was feeling everyone's emotions right now and he wasn't in the best state. He looked we were all driving him insane. He tried his best to push all of our emotions out of his mind so he could focus solely on Edward. He was able to get Edward to relax just a bit, it was enough to allow Carlisle what he needed to work on Edward. He watched as Carlisle worked – in the midst of Edward's arm being resituated we heard as the wolves were getting loud with Esme. There was one Quileutes boy's who was being very harsh to her. Yet Esme was determined to settle them down and make them wait till Carlisle was finished with Edward.
Bella continued to sob and whimper next to me, but every time I would try to place my arm near her to comfort her she would snuggle closer to her pillow. I didn't want to push her any more than she would allow me to. After two hours of working on Edward, Carlisle stood up. He looked toward us, "I fixed him up the best I could, it's now up to Edward to finish the rest" when he was done he grabbed his bag and made his way to Esme. He wanted to speak to the boy's before they left.
Jasper reached out his hand for me to take it. I knew he needed to get away for a while before he burst and did something he might regret. I didn't want to leave Bella. I looked at her, she whispered, "Alice just go with Jasper. I will be fine." I nodded my head and followed Jasper as he jumped from Edward's window. We were leaving Bella alone with Edward, I wasn't sure if that was a good idea. He wasn't in the best shape, but she was set in her ways. With those damn boys's at our house I wasn't able to see if Bella would be fine or even if Edward would be fine. I hated flying blind I thought as I was jumping from tree to tree to keep up with Jasper.

As I sobbed and whimpered next to Alice, I watched as everything that Carlisle was doing to Edward to fix him up. Alice kept on trying to console me, but at the moment I didn't want her to do that. I wanted to first make sure that Edward would be fine, until then I would push everyone away. I had brought this all on the Cullen's. It was my entire fault. I should have listened to Edward when he tried to tell me how dangerous his family was, but I didn't I let myself fall in love with him.
Who the hell am I trying to kid, I am still head over heels for him. I love him all the same, even though he did leave me, but I know from what Rosalie told me when she fixed me up, he left me to try to protect me. He wanted to keep the dangerous things away from me. I was lost in my own world until I saw Jasper in front of us, he was holding his hand out for Alice. She was just looking at me. I knew she wouldn't leave me, so I whispered "Alice just go with Jasper. I'll be fine." She nodded her head and followed Jasper as he jumped out of Edward's window. I was now totally alone with Edward. I wanted to make my way to him, but my feet wouldn't move.
(EsPOV)
I watched as most of my family went up the stairs with Edward. Aro had already sent his guard out to look for Victoria and stayed behind to make sure everything was alright. It wasn't but at least he cared enough to do that. He hugged Carlisle goodbye right after Rosalie was able to get Bella away from Edward. I watched as he left. Sam and his pack went outside of the house. I wanted to talk with them before they left.
"Sam, I want to thank you and your pack for all of your help" I said as I moved toward him.
"I don't know if we can help anymore because it looks like all of the Cullen's are back" he said as Jacob came to stand beside him. It was quiet for some time. I was trying to think of what to say to them, I was thankful that they had helped us. I mean it was Sam's quick thinking that saved Bella from being attacked in our front yard.
"I'm sure our families could work something out" I was saying before I was interrupted by Jacob. That boy didn't know when to be quiet and listen.
"Why would we want to help you filthy leeched bloodsuckers out any way?" he said as I watched him trembling to stay in control. His words had brought Rosalie, Emmett and Carlisle out of the house.
"Jacob watch how you speak to them" Sam said loudly. "We are on their land. They came to us for help protecting Bella. Your dad is her dad's best friend. Don't you want to help keep her safe? They have gone out of their way to protect her all this time. So show Esme some respect" he continued. I could he didn't like having to stand up for me, but he knew what he spoke was the truth.
"We're you not listening to that man in there. That vampire said Bella will be one of them once her baby is born. She will no longer be worthy of our protection" Jacob screeched at Sam. I knew Sam knew that he was getting to that.
"Jacob, I promise we'll do everything possible to make sure Bella's not turned for some time. Our rules state only human's who know about us has two options for them. They either are killed or changed into one of us. Would you rather she be killed than to see her as a vampire" asked Carlisle as calmly as he could. I could tell from his eyes he didn't like Jacob.
"That's exactly what I would rather see than for Bella to ever be one of you damned bloodsuckers. If she turns into one of you she isn't worthy of living and I will be forced to take care of her" he said. I knew from how loud he was speaking that Bella had heard his words because right after he finished I heard her heart beat skip, and growls coming from my family.
Jacob was smart after he said his piece he took off into the forest. The entire pack left except for Sam. He moved closer to me, "Esme please forgive him. He is hurting and I'm sure he will come to his senses, but until he dose I will keep him away from Bella. I know you have taken great lengths to protect her and if there was another way to keep her safe you would do it. Our people will help you if the time ever comes for us to fight together. Please though do not come down to the reservation. I left my number on the fridge, call me. I'm not sure what Jacob might do" Sam said and then took off after his pack.
I knew Sam would help if we needed him, but I also felt bad for Jacob. He was in love with Bella. I could tell it. This was going to be hard on everyone. I turned to my family and fell in step with them as we entered the house. My family was back together but at what price.
