Lizzy POV

I stared at Mom as she grimly looked out of the window, she got up and moved closer and stared for a second. She turned back to me and spoke in a monotone.

"We're surrounded." Surrounded? By who?"

"By who Mom? What are you talking about?"

"The werewolves Lizzy, Edward killed Jacob and the werewolves are mad." About what? He abused us every day!

"Who are the werewolves Mom?"

"All of your Uncles and Aunt. Paul, Seth, Jared, Embry, Quil, Leah, Collin, Brady, and you father was one too. Uncle Sam is the leader." Her eyes were filled with pain.

"But why would they do this to us? Their our family!"

She turned to me. "They wouldn't hurt us, only Edward." Tears fell from her eyes. My own eyes welled up.

"But Mom, he abused us; and their mad because he was killed? That doesn't make sense!"

"I know but they didn't know about the abuse, he kept it from them so they think Edward came back and killed him for no reason…" and when she said that Edward came in the room, and we heard a growl come from right outside the window. Edward came over to us and ducked down, his face was blank. He leaned down and whispered in Mom's ear.

"I have to go out there." What? No! He'll die!

Mom seemed to agree with me. "NO Edward! They'll slaughter you!"

In the time I knew Edward, I could tell he kept things from people to keep them from worrying, they fact that he is an excellent liar helped this skill. "No Bella, I'm only going out there to explain the abuse to them and help them understand. I'll be fine."

No. He was lying. I knew he was; he was only trying to comfort Mom. To save her from worry, he was self sacrificing. I only wished I could be half the person he is.

"No! I'm coming with you Edward!" Mom whispered through her teeth, and I knew if I didn't intervene and give her reason to stay away, she would find her way out there one way or another. Edward opened his mouth to protest but I cut him off.

"If you go out there Mom, I go out there." Both of them looked at me as if I had just sung the national anthem in Japanese. "Look, I'm sure the pack knows you'd say anything to save him, thus making you a little biased. But- as far as they know- Edward and I have no relationship what so ever. So if I tell them, there's a better chance they'll stop and listen. Plus they won't hurt me, I'm just a kid." I concluded feeling confident; I knew she couldn't find an angle to argue on.

Mom stared open-mouthed at me for a second. "That is… out of the question!"

"But why Mom?!"

"Because I said so-"

Edward intervened. "Neither of you are going! I can't risk either of you getting hurt." He leaned down to give Mom a chaste kiss, when he turned to me he slowly moved his head to kiss my forehead. I froze, the tears poured down harder than before, I knew this was a good bye gesture.

It wasn't fair. It just wasn't fair! Ugh! How come whenever something good happens to me something out there has to destroy it? Why? Mom got her happiness back and I was starting to think that life just might be good from now on! Edward was only protecting the one he loves when he killed Jacob. When Edward killed him so fast, he was lucky! The wolves don't know how much more was coming to the bastard. I would have enjoyed watching him writhe in pain a little longer. And what I wanted most of all was… an apology. I would have been elated to get an apology from him, a sincere apology! But that dream died before it had a chance to life. The dream of him ever apologizing lived once upon a time; but there was never a chance of it happening. Only in fairy tales do people get sincere apologies; though my Mom got one from Edward but that is different.

Why does Edward have to die because of the packs ignorance? Where is the justice?! Why should Edward die for something that would have happened one way or another? Once again, it wasn't fair! My broken sobs filled the room as Edward marched out of my door.

Mom pulled me close and cried into my hair. While she mourned, I planned.

No. Edward wouldn't die for Jacob's malicious acts. I refused to let Jacob get away with something like this even in death! I refused to let the pack slaughter Edward. I refused to give him that satisfaction. I refused to let him win.

I knew I only had about a few seconds before my plans were ruined so I acted on adrenaline. I shoved Mom off of me and ran out of the bedroom door; I ripped open the back door to see Edward standing defensively as one of the wolves was about to pounce. I had to stop this now!

"Stop!" I cried out, causing Edward to whip his head around, and for whichever one of my Uncles (or Aunt) to stop dead in their tracks.

They all stared at me; I walked over to position myself in front of Edward. He scolded me. "What are you doing?!" And I proceeded to shush him. I was going to protect Edward; he made Mom happier than I'd ever seen her. And if protecting Edward meant death, then so be it. They'd have to slaughter me in cold blood if they wanted to get to him.

I saw Mom stop dead and she was running in the doorway, she gaped at the scene in front of her. The wolf about to attack shook his head telling me to move. I started talking.

"Look, I know that you all are my Uncles and Aunt," One of the wolves jerked when I said 'Aunt', I guessed that, that was Aunt Leah. "But you never understood what took place at our house. Ever since I was born- and before that it happened to Mom- Jacob, and no I will not refer him as my father, beat us daily. You were all oblivious to this." Some of their eyes widened in either disbelief or horror, or a mixture of the two. "He… well I'm exactly how this all works but he apparently 'blocked his thoughts' from you all," I used air quotes. "And I'm guessing you all know about Edward and my Mom's relationship and how he was… gone before. He makes Mom happier than I've ever seen her, in the past hours I've seen a significant change in her demeanor and her overall mood. Now, you are all here to punish him for wrongfully killing Jacob. I wanted to explain that, that isn't true! Jacob was about to kill Mom and I! You were at the party so you don't know this, but Edward is the reason we are both alive." To emphasis my point, I pointed at Edward who was in shock from my outburst.

"Edward saved our lives, and I feel I owe him because he has made improvements to our lives and given me something I haven't experienced… ever!" I stared into each one of their eyes. "Hope." I admitted.

"Edward has brought me hope. And if you want to get to Edward," I spread my feet apart and crouched slightly, I took a deep breath so I can say this with as much conviction as possible.

"Then you will have to go through me!"

Nobody spoke, or growled. Nobody breathed. I didn't move from my protective stance to make my point further. I stared into the eyes of my family just daring them to lunge and take me out. But the sweet part is, I knew they wouldn't do that, I'd already won. Hope washed through but I didn't let it show, I still had a role to play.

The wolf not 10 feet away from made a yelping sound and they all took off into the dense over growth, leaving nothing but the cold night behind.
