Three Months Later
"Bella!" I screamed, as Victoria was about to bite her. Looking around franticly for something sharp on the ground, I remembered I had a razor in my bag, so I quickly dumped out everything and picked up th erazor.
I sighed.
"I'm sorry Edward." I said, before slidding the blade across my arm. Immediately, blood started running down my arm. Victoria's head shot up quicker than lightning the moment my scent filled the air.
I looked at Bella. She was frightnened. Victoria let go of her, throwing her to the ground.
"Elizabeth!" Bella screamed in horror as Victoria made her way towards me. She wrapped her hand around my neck, lifting me off the ground.
"I'm going to enjoy this." She said, before sinking her teeth into my neck. I could hear her drinking my blood.
"No! Elizabeth! Please stop!" Bella screamed.
"Victoria!" Jaspers voice filled my ears.
"No!" The voice I longed for screamed, more like growled. I looked up to see Esme and Alice helping Bella, and leaving. I then felt myself being thrown threw the air.
"Rose, Carlise!" Edward screamed. Before I could hit the ground, I felt two arms catch me. I could now feel my skin catch fire from her venom.
"Carlisle, Victoria bit her." Rose cried. She was the one who cought me.
"I have to get the venom out." He said, as she ran with me. Three minutes later, I felt myself being put on what I think is the bed in the room Carlisle fixed up as a hospital room.
"Tessa, sweetie, in order to stop the burning, I have to suck the venom out or you will turn." Carlisles' voice filled my ears. I nodded.
"Do it." I said. With no hesitation, Carlisle sunk his teeth into my neck. I could feel the burning slowly disappearing, but Carlisle continued to drink.
"Carlisle." I choked out.
"Carlisle! You're going to kill her!" Esme screamed. He was then pulled off me, a growl ripping from deep in his throat. I looked up at him, his eyes slightly red. Once he saw me staring at him, he calmed down, his eyes filled with regret and horror.
Suddenly, everything went black.
Edward P.O.V.
The moment I knew Victoria was dead, I started running home. I had to get to Elizabeth. Images of Victoria biting her, almost ending her life filled my head. I shook the images from my mind and pushed my feet faster.
As I get closer to the house, her blood fills the air as venom fills my mouth. I then begin to hear Bella screaming for Elizabeth to wake up, to open her eyes.
"Elizabeth! Come on, you can't do this to me, to Charlie. He just got you back! Come on! Wake up!" She cried.
I ran faster, bursting into the house and up to her room. Carlisle was working on her. She had flat lined. I could feel my heart breaking. I then hear Jasper groan out in pain.
"Jasper, what is it?" The girls asked.
"It's not me." He said, looking at me.
"What do you mean?" Alice asked.
"It's Edward. I can feel his heart breaking." He said. Everyone looked at me as I kept my eyes on Elizabeth. I took a step forward when her heart began to beat again. I watched as Carlisle patched up her wounds, then turn to me.
"She's going to be fine. She just need to rest. She's been through a lot today." He said. He then looked at Bella.
"I'm sure you have questions, so we will answer them down in the living room." He said. With one last look at Elizabeth, everyone made their way down stairs.
Bella sat down on the chair facing everyone.
"Im sure-" Carlisel started, but Bella stopped him.
"What happened back there? Who was that woman, and what did she want with my sister?" She asked.
"Sweetie, I know that youre upset-" Carlisle said.
"Upset? My little sister was bitten by some psycho, thrown fifty feet into the air, died for seven minutes, and is now laying in a hospital bed. I am passed upset!" She cried, angry.
"And I am sorry about that. We never meant for Tessa to get hurt." He said.
"What are you people? What was the woman who hurt my sister?" She asked.
"Bella, you have to know, if we tell you this, you cant tell anyone else. Youre life will be in danger if we tell you, so you have to promise not to say a word to anyone." Carlisle said.
"Okay, I wont say a word to anyone. Now, tell me what hurt my sister." She pleaded.
"The womans name was Victoria. She was a vampire." He said. All she did was sit there, staring at my family and I.
"A vampire?" She asked. Carlisle nodded.
"If she was a vampire, that would mean, so are you and your family." She said.
"Yes, we are, but not like the ones you read about. We dont feed from humans, but animals." He replied. Her eyes then fell on me.
"Did my sister know about this?" She asked. I nodded.
"Yes. Shes known since you guyses second day of enrollement." Jasper said. Her eyes widened.
"That was three and a half months ago." She gasped. She then looked at Carlisle.
"Why was Victoria after my sister?" She asked.
"She was after Elizabeth because of me." I said. She spun around to look at me, a glare on her face.
"You?" She snarled.
"Yes." I said.
"What happened?" She demanded.
"A month ago, one of our kind, cought wind of her scent and began tracking her, His name was James and he was Victorias mate." I said.
"Thats not telling me why she tried to kill my little sister." She snapped.
"Her mate James, is dead." I said.
"Dead? What happened?" She asked.
"I killed him." I said. She gasped.
"He was able to get her to come to him saying he was going to kill me if she didnt. By the time I got to the hotel, she was gone. I followed her scent, which led to a ballet studio. When we got there, he had bitten her." I said.
"After we killed James, I had to suck the venom out of her, to prevent her from turning." I said.
"And because you killed her mate, she wanted revenge." Bella snarled.
"She promised to take away the one I loved, the most important person in my life. Your sister." I said. She let out a bitter laugh.
"My sister." She said. She then stood up, and punched me in the jaw, only to break her hand. Esme gasped. Carlisle attempted to help her, but she moved away from him, glaring at me, with tears in her eyes, but not from the pain.
"This is all your fault! My little sister is laying in a hospital bed because she was trying to protect you! You!" She cried.
"Shes fifteen! Fifteen! She hasnt even lived her life yet, and already shes almost died twice. I watched that woman sink her teeth into my sister, and almost suck the life out of her, because of you!" She screamed angry. I flinched at her words.
"Why!? Why did you do this to my sister, to my family? I thought you loved her!" She snapped.
"Sweetie, he does love your sister." Esme said, defending me. Bellas eyes landed on me.
"If he loved my sister as much as he claims he does, he will stay away from her. Let her live a normal, human life." She snarled. Rosalie grew angry.
"You little bit-"
"Rosalie." Esme warned.
"No! I will not just stand here and let her talk to Edward like this!" She snarled. She then glared at Bella, who stood her ground, but you could tell she was beyond scared of Rosalie.
"Elizabeth means the world to Edward. He loves her more than you will ever know. So, dont you stand there and tell him he doesnt love her. You dont know a damn thing." She growled.
"Well I know one thing. My sister almost died because of him."She said. She then looked at me.
"Like I said before, if you love my sister as much as you say you do, then you will leave. Give her a chance at a normal life." She said, before making her way up to Elizabeths room. Once I heard the door close, Rosalie growled.
"That pathetic excuse for a hu-"
"Shes right." I said.
"What?" Rose growled.
"Shes right. If I loved Tessa at all, I would leave, give her a chance to live a normal life." I said.
"You have got to be kidding me! Youre going to let that wench get in betwwen the two of you?" She snapped.
"Tessa died Rosalie! Died! For seven minutes her heart stopped and for seven minutes, I took her from her sister, her family. Tessa was safe, she had a normal life before I came and risked her life." I snarled.
"Yet, she was unhappy. I mean, come on Edward. Tessa was not happy, at all, until she met you. You made her happy, you make her happy." She pleaded.
"And before she met me, she had a normal life." I said, more calmly.
"Edward-" Alice started.
"Im leaving tonight." I said.
"What?" Emmett gasped.
"I dont know where I will go, but I will not stay here any longer and risk killing her." I said.
"Edward, you love her." Alice cried.
"I cant. I cant love her anymore." I said, making my way up the stairs.
"So thats it? Youre just going to leave, like that? Pretend she doesnt exist, pretend you dont love her?"Rosalie asked, her voice sad.
"Its better this way." I said.
"For who? For you, or for her?" She asked.
"...for us both." I said.
