Roses Are Fiesty

"How long until she's here?" Emmett's voice was almost cold. He still stood against the wall, no real expression touching his face.

"I'm not sure. She keeps changing her mind." Alice sat down at the little table in the corner. I felt myself ache inside as I looked at Emmett in the corner. I looked at Bella who gave me remorse.

"Can we talk? Maybe go for a walk?" she asked. I nodded and we both got up to leave.

EDWARD'S POV

I concentrated on Elizabeth. I got flickers of her thoughts. I remembered how I could hear a single thought from her head all those years ago, when Rosalie had tried to interupt their dinner.

'Edward, get out of her head.' I turned to see Emmett, his gaze harsh. I nodded and decided to go through Alice's visions. He had never been so hostile towards anyone's thoughts, but decided I best stay out of it.

ELIZABETH'S POV

I matched her stride step for step, never losing my gaze on her face. I could see so much of me in her. Along with the Charlies and Renee. Her face was like Renee. She had a mix of mine and Renee's hair, her eyes almost completely reflecting my old ones. But I could see Josh's ears.

She then looked at me, redness touching her cheeks.

"So what was granny like when she was young?" She asked, looking back down at her feet.

"Very ambitious, very bold. Smart too. But, very stuborn, she hated me for a long time. Charlie-your great grandfather and my husband-too. He died when she was fairly young. Just before she married your Grandpa Josh."

"I remember some pictures of her when she was little...she has that ring around her neck." she nodded towards my finger, where Emmett's ring shawn like new.

"Yeah, she had it for quite some time. I took it back after Charlie died, but left her a ne-"

"A necklace..." Bella looked at me in shock.

"You have it now." I told her smiling. "It was my grandmothers and your great great great grandmother's." I laughed a little as we kept walking. Her face scrunched up in frustration.

"What's wrong?"

"It's still in Pheonix...I'll get it when I visit..." she lost her thoughts as I grinned. I was so happy about how accepting she was of me. We eventually circled the entire property, not talking much. Just enjoying the company.

"ELIZABETH!" We both looked up to see Alice on the front porch in panic. Edward rushing up beside her. Before I could even react, something came at me quickly and caused me to go scraping across the ground. Trees knocked aside and were uprooted as I came crashing into them. I eventually stopped, and whatever had tackled me ontop. It was Rosalie. Rage hit her face with pure determination. She lifted her hand to hit me and I quickly knocked her off. She went flying into a tree with a loud sickening crack. She fell into the cloud of leaves. I ran back out into the clearing of the house, only for her to tackle me from behind. She began pulling at my arms, threatening to rip them off.

"NO!" I screamed and spun as fast as I could, knocking her off. She scraped across the ground but landed on her feet. She looked at me, a smirk hitting her face. She came running at me again.

"ROSALIE STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" I heard in the background.

"SOMEONE DO SOMETHING!" I heard someone else say. I ducked in time for her to go flying to the other side.

"Seriously Rosalie, stop." I said in a calm voice. She simply rolled her eyes and came running at me again. I sighed and made myself invisible only to her. She suddenly stopped and looked around, wondering what to do. I ran up to her, grabbing her arm. The sheild was immediatly broken, but I had the time to take her and swing her into the forest. A loud crash could be heard, more trees toppling over.

"How did she..."

"It's her power."

Rosalie stepped out of the forest, she was shaking with rage now. Her perfect hair now filled with twigs and leaves.

"You will leave my husband alone bitch." She snarled, crouching. Her teeth rippled with growls. I simply stood there, glaring at her. My vision of her suddenly became someone's back. Emmett.

"Rosalie, stop it." he said. He stood infront of me, his arms spread out in protection.

"She shouldn't be here! Why are you defending her?!" Rosalie spit out.

"Because, she's done nothing wrong. Unlike you." his voice was cold and dripping with hate. Her snarls stopped, and she stood up straight. She came running over to him, ignoring me behind him. She placed her hands on his chest, looking into his eyes, hers filled with begging.

"Please don't be mad. I only wanted you for myself. I was and still am in love with you...All I wa-"

"AND SHE DIDN'T!? GOD DAMNIT ROSALIE! SHE LOVED ME TOO! YOU TOOK ME FROM HER!" his face slowly sunk out of rage. His hands were wrapped tightly around her hands, he now ripped them off his chest and pushed them down at her. Emmett looked at me, and my ring, then back at her.

"You...broke her. And I can't forgive you for that." his voice suddenly broke in a dry sob.

"Emmett..." Alice said carefully.

"No! Alice! I can't forgive her. And I don't give a shit what you see in your visions. I can't." Edward suddenly stepped forward.

"He's telling the truth Alice. He's-"

"Don't Edward. I'll say it myself." he turned back to Rosalie, who was still frozen in shock.

"I'm not in love with you anymore." his voice was emotionless, but also saying his truth. He took off his wedding ring and dropped it at her feet.

"Our marriage papers will be shred in the next day, you can count on that." he then turned and headed for the house. Edward was suddenly at my side.

"Go inside." he whispered silently to me. I began walking away, listening to what he was saying to Rosalie.

"It's best you go Rosalie. He's meaning every word."

"Oh Edward-"

"Don't! I have no pity for you Rosalie. I told you to leave him alone. And you didn't. You had this coming, one way or another."

I took Bella by the shoulder and guided her inside.

***************

The house was quiet that night, except Emmett's screams of rage echoing from his room. I sat in one of their rooms in darkness, the moon shining down on me. Edward had gone home with Bella, Carlisle had an emergency at the hospital, and the rest left me to myself. I tried blocking out his screams of agony, but they hit me with sadness. Hours seemed to pass, and his screams stopped. But I felt my hurt continue. I couldn't stay here, I just couldn't, it was wrong. I had to leave. Anywhere but here.

I got up and headed for the door of the room. I swung it open, only for someone to be standing there in shock by the sudden opening.

"E-Emmett..." I said breathlessly.

"Hey. Uhm..." he shoved his hands in his pockets and looked at me nervously.

"I wanted to ask you if you would want to stay here, with me and my family. You could come to school with us and everything!" he said happily. I laughed a little as I looked at him.

"Sounds great bu-" just when I thought of him, I heard his voice.

"ELIZA! Hellooo!!??"

"How the hell?" I walked out of the room passed Emmett to go into the main hall. There stood Jeremy.

"How did you find me?"

"I can smell duh! Where have you been!? I thought you were a gonner!" he hugged me suddenly. I laughed at him as we broke apart. He looked over my shoulder to see Emmett.

"Whoo..."

"Oh, this is Emmett Cullen...his family is around somewhere." Emmett waved dorkily and shoved his hands back in his pocket.

"Emmett...you mean...?"

"Yes, that Emmett. It turns out he was with the Cullens."

"Wow..." Jeremy said shrugging a little. There was a bit of silence as we all wondered what to talk about.

"Listen...I've got to go..handle some things. He can stick around if he wants to. Just introduce him to the family." Emmett said turning around to go to the back door.

"Okay, bye Emmett." Once he was gone I turned back to Jeremy, who gave me a shocked look.
