Only In Vengeance

Chapter 4: Anger's Casualties.

Anybody can become angry, that is easy; but to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way, that is not within everybody's power, that is not easy. ~ Aristotle

Carlisle's POV:

I knew beforehand that Edward would not take this very well…and I was hoping he would not make it harder on himself than he already was. However, I knew better than to think he would. I was just cleaning up the scarred tissue of Bella's skin when I heard thundering crash come from outside. Sighing, I got to my feet walking towards the door. I knew this would happen, and I would never even bother to send Jasper out there to prevent Edward from entering the house.

Suddenly I heard shouting coming from Edward as I went back to Bella, "JASPER! Don't you dare say I can't see her she's my wife!!!"

Jasper's POV:

After Edward stomped his foot on the ground and punched the wall I could feel the anger radiating off him like crazy, and it was starting to affect my emotions as well. Edward was really frustrating me…I wish he would just listen to Carlisle's advice and stay away from Bella for now! Suddenly Edward started to growl viscously, and that was just enough to flare my temper.

"Edward, she doesn't need you right now. She's fine." I whispered dangerously.

"You think she doesn't need me! What makes you think you have the right to say that?!" Edward growled, while walking closer to me.

"The right as her brother, now just stay out here and leave her be." I said, trying to be as calm as possible.

As soon as I turned to walk back in to the house, I felt an explosion of fury. Just as I was about to turn, to face Edward again I felt a searing pain on my right shoulder. While screaming bloody murder I felt around that area to find Edward's teeth biting hard on my flesh letting the venom enter my system. Immediately I grabbed him and somersaulted, forcing him on his back. Strangely, my shoulder was smoldering with pain, when it should only be stinging. However, I ignored it as I kept Edward from moving.

Then, out of nowhere, his foot smashed into my face forcing my body backwards and on to my back. While recovering from the blow I felt my leg being ripped apart, and just as I was going to make a blow on Edward, I felt my calf being ripped off, knee and down. That was enough to stop myself from going any further.

"CARLISLE!" I shouted, as Edward started to mess up my face, including breaking my nose and jaw.

"CARLISLE!" I shouted, again, too much in pain to fight against Edward's blows.

In less than a second I heard rushing footsteps coming from the house. The second I saw Carlisle walk out of the back door I screamed his name, "CARLISLE!"

"EDWARD! Get off of Jasper NOW!!!" Carlisle shouted, running over here.

As soon he was here he pulled Edward off of me and held his arms.

"EDWARD! Edward! You're acting like a five year old! Stop it now! Edward!" Carlisle yelled, as Edward was trying to break out of his grasp while growling.

"Emmett, Alice come here!" Carlisle shouted, while wrestling Edward to the floor.

While Carlisle was handling Edward, I tried to stand but only fell back down to the ground in pain. It probably wasn't best to move. Just as I was about to reach down to my injured leg I heard a scream then a gasp.

"JASPER!!!" My wife screeched. "OHMYGOD! I HEARD YELLING AND I THOUGHT YOU TWO WERE JUST YELLING AT EACH OTHER! WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU!?!" Alice said, as she sat down next to me.

As Alice was helping me stand, I saw Emmett holding Edward from the back as Carlisle was yelling at him.

"Carlisle! You can yell at him later all you want! Right now Jasper needs help!" Alice screamed, as Carlisle finished his speech to Edward and helped me walk towards the door.

Unexpectedly, I heard someone gasp.

"Edward?"
