A/N: I do not own Twilight, Stephanie Meyer does.

Chapter Sixteen

(BPOV)

Cody crouched down to attack, but I help up my hand to stop him. "I can handle this guys, I promise." I told him. He whimpered but stayed where he was. Rose looked back at them and saw it was my kids. She smirked and looked towards Charlie. I saw red, I would not let this woman hurt my children, or my pack children, and I didn't even care if she was almost my sister once upon a time. I ran at Rose and pulled off her left arm. She screamed and came at me, but I dodged her and ripped off her other arm. The snapping of bone and crumbling of rock filled the air.

She screamed as I jumped on her, straddling her waist, I twisted her head to the left, then to the right and I snapped it right out of it's socket. I saw that Austin and Chelsea had phased back human and started a fire. Sam J in his wolf form came forward and finished tearing up Rose for me, then human Austin threw her parts in the fire.

I felt bad, but what could I do? She was hell bent on killing me that much was clear. I had to tell Carlisle and Esme myself. I knew Alice would know there was something wrong, but she couldn't see me so she wouldn't know what happened. I turned and walked into the house. Jake had just come in from work and saw something was wrong with me. I told him everything before he could even ask and he just put his arms around me, letting me weep tearlessly.

We pulled into the Cullen's drive. Luckily, Alice had seen Rose's decision to come back to Forks, but she hadn't seen anything else, so they all rushed back. Slowly, my mother, father, Austin, Charlie and me got out.

Alice came onto the porch, looking worried. "Where's Rose?" She asked. She was scared, I could tell. Before any of us could answer, mom slipped her arm around Alice and said, "Let's talk inside, okay?"

Alice looked even more scared, but she ran into the house anyway. We all followed and sat down in the living room with the Cullen's. Carlisle and Esme greeted us warmly, and I couldn't help but wonder how long that was going to last. Carlisle sat down on the love seat next to Esme and said, "So, what brings the Black family to the Cullen household today?"

Mom sighed and started telling them of how Blondie crossed the border, breaking our treaty and then attacked her. The Cullen's looked devastated at the end when they found out mom had killed Rose.

Esme looked like she would cry if she could. Alice was staring at the floor, Jasper looked extremely uncomfortable and Carlisle's face looked calm, but I could see the sadness in his eyes. Emmett was just staring at Charlie. Carlisle looked up and said, "So you've come here to kill the rest of us?"

Mom looked horrified, "What? NO! Why would you ask that? Why would you even think that? We just wanted to come here so I could tell you in person. I didn't think a simple phone call would suffice. I really am sorry, I didn't want to hurt her, but she wouldn't listen. It was either kill her or have her kill my children. When my children and pack children stepped out of the trees, all I could think about was their safety and when Rose saw them, I didn't know what she was thinking or what she was going to do. I had to protect my children, I understand if you hate me." Mom finished quietly.

Esme looked up and said sternly, "Bella, we don't hate you. We're not happy that you killed our daughter, but we understand why you had to. Rose has been against you since Edward died. No matter what anyone said, she wouldn't listen. I didn't know she would go so far as to attack you." She shook her head sadly.

"I did." Alice said quietly. Every head in the room snapped toward Alice.

My dad was on his feet in a second, "What are you talking about?" He demanded.

Alice looked up shyly and said, "I had a vision of her going to La Push. I could feel her rage and desire for revenge but I didn't know she would go that far."

I looked at Emmett to see how he was doing. He just looked blank. Weird. I looked at Jasper, he didn't look sad either. He looked uncomfortable, still.

"Hey, Jasper?" I asked. He looked in my direction, acknowledging me so I could continue. "Why do you look so uncomfortable?"

He looked at Charlie, then at Emmett, then back at me and he smiled. I looked over at both of them; they had a guilty look on both their faces like they had just been caught doing something wrong. Their eyes met for a half a second. Only a half a second, but in that half a second, I saw both of their eyes fill with love and adoration.

No. No. No. No freaking way. No freaking way that did not just happen. I stood up, glaring at Emmett. He smiled apologetically at me, I lunged towards him, but mom and dad grabbed me and pulled me outside. Austin, Charlie and the Cullens followed behind.

A/N: So Charlie imprinted on Emmett! Thank AllytheVampChick for that, I just wanted to kill Rosalie but she said then Emmett would be sad. I didn't want him to be sad either so, I had Charlie imprint. Didn't see that coming did ya? HA!

So today was a really bad day and all my plans got shifted, so I'm updating regularly, if there was anything left to update. I'm putting up the epilogue right after this. So thanks to Curtis, 39XXmythicalcreatures101XX, Rachel2w2, Black Rose, Aya163 and (of course) AllytheVampChick for reviewing last chapter, it is very much appreciated.
