Truth of Lies
Inside Cullen Residence
Chapter Eight
The pain…it never came… The rush of fear and panic…never came… The smell of blood filled the room, overwhelming Edward's senses with a complete wave of intoxicating scent. Slowly, as his children struggled in his arms, he opened his eyes. Aro was froze like a statue, his eyes wide, and mouth slightly open, his arm was frozen in the postion to deliver the final blow that never came. The drip…drip of blood falling to the floor reached his ears and finally the whole picture came into focus. Sticking out of the middle of Aro's chest, was a fist completely covered in blood.
As whoever Aro's killer was pulled his fist out of the once great vampire, Aro fell to the ground, and Edward saw Carlisle standing behind him. Blood was splattered over his clothes and face, his right arm and hand completely bloody. There were tears in his eyes as Edward watched him, drop to his knees, his fingers gently closing Aro's eyes. "I had…no choice…" Carlisle said in a soft voice to the lifeless figure, the tears falling down his cheeks.
Quietly Edward placed the twins on the floor and they toddled over to Carlisle, hugging onto their grandpa who scooped them up in his arms and kissed their cheeks. Edward smiled and went over to him. "Come on Carlisle, let's head outside," he said softly and helped the vampire to his feet, leading him outside. The vampires were gone. Not even Jane remained. And all who remained were completely fine except for a few cuts and bruises, but no one was dead. A smile formed on Edward's lips as Jacob walked over to him.
He slipped his arms around the werewolf's waist and nuzzled his shoulder lightly. Jacob kissed his head and whispered. "We're finally safe…"
And they were.
