Only In Vengeance

Chapter 3: Rescued

Edward's POV

I was playing my Bella's Lullaby when I heard Alice's scream,

"EDWARD!!"

Before she was even finished calling my name I was racing up the stairs, and was met halfway by Alice and Jasper.

"Edward! Have you seen Bella?!" Alice asked, worriedly.

"No. Why?! What happened?!" I asked, fearing the worst for my angel.

"V-Vision! W-We need to go to the clearing now!!!" Alice screamed, running out the back door while dragging Jasper and I out with her.

Bella's POV

The searing pain in my back was now unbearable. Not to mention the new wound on my face, which was causing my right eye to tear up and swell. As of right now I don't think any vampire would ever want to cry because it hurts like hell. I can't stop, even when I try to the tears keep on coming and make the welt forming down my face burn terribly.

Defensibly, I am horrible. Every time I block a blow from either Jane's fist or knife I earn another cut or broken bone in which seems to take forever to heal. If there had been a battle against the Volturi I probably would have died. I couldn't bear to even think of what that would do to Edward… That's why I need to hold my ground. For Edward, Renesme, and my family. I couldn't afford to die… I needed to stay with my family.

Jane let out an aggravated cry, "Bella Cullen I swear if you don't die now it will be your blood on my hands!"

As I dodged another blow I heard a sickening crack, and then all of a sudden I winded up on the grass with a loud thump. As I was about to get up, I heard Jane's ear piercing growl, and then felt part of my side being torn open. I screamed like all Hell broke loose and was trying to pry me into its fiery pits.

I was numb with pain, and couldn't move at all. It was now that I expected Jane to through the match a get it over with. But to my surprise she was about seven feet ahead of me staring into the distance as if she was waiting for something to happen.

"W-W-Why…d-don't yo-u d-do…..i-it?" I croaked.

I almost wished I didn't ask, because when Jane looked over her shoulder she had the most terrifying expression on with the most engrossing smile.

Jane giggled uncontrollably, "Turns out you just got lucky, darling…that husband of yours and the psychic are here to save the day! Well…I guess it'd be ok if I kill you later on…the more pain you and…Mr. Edward Cullen have to bear…ta ta for now!"

With that Jane sped off further into the forest. I was so close to unconsciousness when I saw a figure approaching. Edward! THANK HEAVENS!

"E-Edw-a-r-d!"

"BELLA!?"

Turns out it was Alice and Edward and Jasper was not too far behind her.

Alice gasped, "Oh-my-god! WHAT DID SHE DO TO YOU!"

"BELLA! IS SHE HURT!? BELLA!?" Edward screamed just coming out of the forest.

I didn't want him to see me like this so I curled up into Fetal position and tucked my head in between my stomach and my thighs.

"Oh my god, Bella! What happened!?" Edward asked, pulling my form into his lap.

At this point I was sobbing and tearing up so hard, I thought I'd go blind.

"Bella, please tell me what happened." Edward asked, trying to lift my chin to look at him, but I would let him.

I could now feel Jasper next to me with his hand on my arm trying to calm me, but it wasn't working. "Bella, please tell us what happened so that we can get you to Carlisle."

What Jasper suggested started to comprehend in my mind and the more I thought about it the more I knew I would eventually have to show Edward. Slowly I lifted my head up so that my eyes could meet Edward's. I heard Edward and Jasper gasp in shock and then Edward's roar of pain. Almost immediately I put my face right where it was before.

"That little demon will pay!" Edward growled, dangerously, while shaking from his anger.

"Edward! STOP! We need to get Bella to Carlisle!" Alice shouted.

Before I even could register it we were on our way back to the house. Every time Edward would make a sharp turn or make a harsh movement I would always let out a cry of pain. Once we were at the house Edward carefully set me on the couch in the living room.

"CARLISLE! BELLA'S HURT!" Edward cried, while Alice moved onto the floor and put her soft hand on my forehead.

"I-I'm so s-sorry I didn't see this sooner Bella…I-I should have been making sure they were all gone…W-we were so convinced that…" Alice babbled.

"Al-ic-e…I-It's ok…I-I w-went looking f-for-" I was about to say Jane, but a pain that shot through my spine interrupted me causing myself to howl in pain.

Edward's POV

My angel was in pain because of that hell of creature. How dare she do this! I was on the verge of breaking down; the only thing stopping me was that I knew I had to be strong for Bella. I couldn't let her get upset. She was all ready in enough pain as it was.

"Mommy?"

Oh no!

"Renesme?" I asked, turning to face my daughter's innocent, beautiful face…so much like her mothers used to be…

"Daddy, what's wrong with Mommy?" Renesme asked, while walking slowly over towards me.

"Nessie, Mommy's…not feeling well…Why don't you go hang out with Jacob until she gets better?" I asked, picking her up and hoping that she wouldn't want to see Bella…I didn't want to scare her.

"B-But I want to talk to Mommy…" Nessie said, looking into my eyes.

I sighed, "Renesme I don-"

"E-Edward can I p-please talk to my d-daughter?" Bella whispered.

Sighing, I gave Nessie to Bella and while pinching the bridge of my nose called Carlisle again, "Carlisle! Please come down here! Bella needs help!"

I less than a second Carlisle was here with a huge bag that looked as though it weighed ten pounds.

"Sorry, Edward… When you said Bella was hurt I needed to make sure I had supplies for any form of injury she might have." Carlisle said, while making his way over to Bella.

Once Carlisle was beside Bella, I took Renesme, and then saw Rosalie heading towards the back door. I immediately opened it and put Nessie in Rose's arms.

"Rosalie, take her back to the cottage." I said quickly.

"Why? Did something happen?!" Rosalie asked, looking behind me.

"Rose, Bella's hurt, I can't have her see her like this anymore…not when Carlisle is checking her injuries, at least." I said, Pulling Rosalie away from the house.

Rosalie looked bewildered, "Oh-Um…Call me when we can come back."

"Ok, and watch Nessie for me, Jane's still here." I replied.

"Jane?" hissed Rosalie.

"Yes, don't let her out of your sight, and tell Emmett to join you."

"Will do." Rosalie said, and then took off towards the cottage.

With that I headed for the door and was stopped by Jasper blocking my way.

"Jasper?" I asked.

"Edward…your not going to like it…Carlisle told me to keep you out here for a while. I'm sorry." Jasper replied, sadly.

"Jasper." I snarled, "Let me in now!"

"Edward…"

I felt a growl rising in my throat, when I crouched ready to force Jasper out of the way if needed.

"Edward, I said, I'm sorry. You can't go in. You'll get too upset and you might even harm Bella more than she all ready is. She's too fragile right now for you to get so angry." Jasper said, mimicking my movements.

As much as I wanted to not harm Bella in any way, I didn't like the fact that they were trying to keep me away from my angel, my love, and my wife. I had every right to be with her right now. So I attacked.
