Chapter 18 BPOV
He didn't look back, and I wouldn't either.
We all had retreated back into our home grateful that the pack had been open to reasoning. A part of me was saddened by the fact that I know that I would never see Jacob again, but at least I got a goodbye.
I had decided on the wedding. I wanted it to be just the family, and we could get married at twilight on top of the cliff that I loved. It was beautiful there with an amazing backdrop and the surrounding area was littered with beautiful flowers all along the edges of the clearing.
As soon as I had decided Alice shrieked with happiness. "It will be absolutely amazing Bella" was what she had told me. I wanted to do it fast, and put all of this drama behind us. I wanted to be able to claim Edward as only mine.
So the day before the Denali coven leaves will be the day of our wedding. A part of me did not want Tanya there, but another, bigger, part of me wanted her to witness our vows so she could see for herself that we were bound to one another, and that he would never be with her.
Time had flown by. The wolves had left, and Tanya seemed to behave herself. She even went to the mall with us to pick up Rosalie and Alice's bridesmaid dresses. They were dark blue, and Alice's was short coming to her knees with a cut that changed lengths. The top of her dress was strapless and bunched around her chest. Rosalie's had an even cut at her knees, and it formed a V neck accenting her cleavage nicely but not in a flaunting way that would make me feel inadequate.
Alice was going to be my maid of honor, and Jasper was Edward's best man. Esme would give Edward away and Carlisle was giving me away. We included everyone in our wedding. The only guests were the Denali Coven, and the priest who was marrying us. His name was Father John Macholl, and he was human, but we only needed him for the 15 minute ceremony.
The dress that Alice had got me was a vintage dress. It flowed smoothly down past my feet sweeping the floor as I walked, and it had a sheer lace fabric delicately overlaying the white silk. It bunched around my chest and abdomen gently accenting my chest and it had little sleeves that covered just my shoulders.
When she had shown me it I wanted to cry. It was simple and beautiful, and I loved that it was vintage because my husband to be was over 100 years old, and I also acted so much older than I was so it held more meaning to me because of it's classical age.
Now it was the evening before the wedding, and Edward was going to go hunting. Everyone except Jasper, Emmett, Tanya and myself were going.
Tanya had already hunted earlier the other morning so she did not even know that the others were gone when she would get home. I didn't want to wait for her to return to explain that they had all left. Emmett or Jasper could do that. Edward and I avoided Tanya as much as possible, and Edward had still not said a single word to her since she had tried to attack me. Well, actually nobody except Carlisle and Esme actually spoke nicely to her. Jasper glared at her a lot, Emmett kept bragging about mine and Edward's sex life, and Rosalie and Alice talked loudly about what lingerie I should wear on our honeymoon.
Nobody lectured them or interfered. Tanya was in the wrong, and everyone knew it.
Not wanting to over think things since Edward was gone, and Tanya was still not back, I decided to take a nice bath in mine and Edward's bathroom so I could relax.
I went into our huge bathroom. There were heated white marble floors with double sinks and a huge mirror that covered an entire wall. There was a separate shower with massaging nozzles all over the walls, and we also had a huge jacuzzi tub that could probably fit 5 full grown people, and I quickly flicked the hot water lever all the way down in that. The water would be scolding, and probably burn a human, but it gave me a nice warm relaxing bath. The jets came on, and the water started bubbling in circles.
I lighted a couple vanilla and strawberry candles letting the scents drift around me, and fill my senses, and I drifted into the tub.
I may be a vampire, but I still enjoyed relaxing atmospheres. All of Alice's pampering was beginning to spoil me.
I let myself lean my head back, and enjoy the heat. I washed with Edward's favorite strawberry scented shampoo, and body wash, and I just let myself enjoy the peace and quiet.
As I lied there I briefly considered why it was so quiet. Usually Emmett and Jazz were much more rambunctious and loud. They had wanted to stay with me to spend time with me, and we all wrestled and played Need for Speed: Pro Street on the Playstation 3. I won in wrestling, but Emmett and Jasper alternated kicking my ass in the game.
I sucked at video games. I could live without them. Then I had left them to their business.
I wanted to push my shield out around Edward so we could talk, but I knew Alice would kill me. She wanted to keep him out of my mind so he couldn't see my dress. She was having a hard enough time keeping him out of her mind, and did not want to add my mind to the problems.
A soft click registered inside of my mind, but I paid it no attention. I sniffed the air to try to smell if someone walked in, but all I could small was vanilla and strawberries along with a hint of Edward from before he left for the hunt.
I pulled myself out of the tub, and dried myself off wrapping a fluffy yellow robe that came down to just above my knees around myself tightly. I wasn't sure if Emmett or Jasper had came in the room. Surely Tanya wouldn't have entered, we didn't speak let alone go to one another's room.
I slowly opened the bedroom door, and I felt my eyes widen in shock.
There on mine and Edward's bed was Tanya.
There laying out like whore with nothing but a skimpy purple and black lingerie piece on was this strawberry blond bitch.
Her eyes widened and her mouth dropped as she scurried to get out of my bed. She didn't have anything to cover herself with, and a loud growl erupted from my chest.
Suddenly, the band snapped in my mind, and I heard Edward.
Bella, what why are you opening your mind? Bella...Oh my God...
He snarled in his thoughts as he saw what I was showing him. Tanya half naked sprawled out across the bed we laid in together.
I couldn't restrain myself as a louder and fiercer growl came through me. I was standing in the doorway to the bathroom as Tanya cornered herself to the edge of the room trying to reach the doorway that would lead her to the hallway.
"Be....Bella..." She stuttered. "I didn't know you were here...I mean...I thought it was Edward in there..."
I snarled now letting my lips curve up in a bitter snarl. I crouched down ready to attack her. Her words were only making me angrier.
Bella, I will kill her if she hurts you. Bella, please we're running back. We're only 5 minutes away. Please Bella.
She won't hurt me Edward. I am going to kill her. Rip her fucking head off. She came in here to steal you from me. I am going to fucking kill her.
Bella.
"Bella please..." Tanya had her hand out like she wanted to calm me by extending a hand. She was at the door now, and I heard Jasper and Emmett burst in through the front door screaming, "Bella, why are you growling?"
Before Tanya had time to move.
Before Edward had time to scold me in my thoughts.
Before Emmett had time to get up the stairs.
Before Jasper had time to send calming waves towards me.
I lunged.
I hit Tanya with so much force that we went flying through the door and off the landing.
We hit the floor next to the staircase, and Emmett and Jasper stared at us like they had lost all train of thought for a moment.
Two half naked girls were attacking one another right in front of them.
Except Tanya wasn't fighting. She was barely even trying to stop me. All she did was cry out and let me punch her.
I kneed her in her abdomen, and I punched her until my fist seemed to be indented in her shoulder.
I was getting so carried away in attacking her that I could barely hear Jazz and Emmett.
"Stop smirking Emmett we need to stop this, Bella is going to kill her." I could feel Jasper trying to send me waves of calm, but I pushed through them and focused on my anger.
I could hear Edward asking me to stop attacking her before I got hurt, but his voice only reminded me of her laying in our bed waiting to try and seduce my fiancée.
I whipped Tanya into the staircase and it crumpled beneath her. I lunged at her again, and this time I bit her. She screamed out in pain as a metallic screeching filled the air as I started to tear her arm off of her body.
Bella!!!
Edward sounded worried.
"Shit." I heard Jasper yell, and suddenly I felt Emmett putting his arms around my waist pulling me away.
I opened my mouth to scream for them to let me go and then Emmett pinned me to the floor.
I looked at Tanya with so much hate in my eyes, and I wanted to kill her. I wanted to keep tearing her body apart, and still I wanted to kill her.
Since that bitch would just not give up trying, I would have to kill her.
But I was on the floor, and Emmett was pinned on top of me holding my legs down, and Jasper had my hands pinned above my head.
"Shit Bella, it's over. You got her okay. She won't mess with Edward anymore. Bella calm down." Jasper was trying to rationalize with me, and keep me calm, but I kept thrashing around.
Emmett couldn't speak yet, and when his eyes met mine I stopped screaming.
Emmett who almost always found humor and kept smiling through the worst of situations was now scowling.
As he looked at me I stopped thrashing, and he spoke.
"Bella, you are my baby sister and that whore keeps trying to hurt you. Don't think that I don't want to hurt her. I want to let you kill her, better yet, I want to kill her, but we can't Bells. That would make us just as bad as her. Just as bad as the Volturi. You think I like seeing my baby sister in pain. You think I want to hold you down?"
I looked at Tanya who was laying against the debris of the broken stairs clutching her half detached arm to her as if she was trying to hold it together.
She looked pathetic.
She was pathetic. She kept trying to seduce Edward even though he didn't want her.
"Bella," Jasper spoke now. "Please let me calm you down. The others are almost here. I can hear them."
I nodded slightly still pinned by their iron bodies, and still hating Tanya. But I let Jasper try to calm me. I didn't want to feel it, but there was no fighting it when I let my will go.
The waves swept over me. He wasn't trying to influence any drastic emotions on me.
Jasper just made me feel indifferent. He let me keep my hate for her, but he pushed away my intense want to kill her, and to laugh when I kicked her strawberry blond hair covered head off of my cliff.
Bella, please love, I love you. Bella, I am here please.
Edward came rushing into the room. He was alone because he was faster than everyone else, but his eyes narrowed slightly as he saw the position I was in.
What are they doing to you!
I saw my position in his eyes, and thanked God I couldn't blush. This was embarrassing. All I had on was my yellow fluffy robe, and it was partially open exposing a small part of my chest, and it had risen to the middle of my thigh. Jasper still had my arms pinned above me causing my robe to open more slightly, and Emmett was literally sprawled on top of me.
I swear to God I am going to rip their eyes out.
Please Edward. This is so not the problem now. They aren't hurting me, and they weren't trying anything. They just tried to stop me from killing the bitch.
Tanya was no longer Tanya to me now. She would always just be the bitch.
Just because it is innocent, and probably even necessary doesn't mean I have to like seeing it. What man wants to see his brothers pinning his future wife down as she is barely clothed.
I sighed in frustration at his one track mind. "Edward! Please, one situation at a time!"
Emmett looked at me confused before saying, "Oh the mind link thing...." I nodded and offered him a weak smile trying to pull my arms up so I could get up, but Jasper kept them pinned to the floor securely.
I looked at Edward. A little help here please. I am not going to kill her....not right now anyways.
Edward scowled at Jasper, and he instantly released my hands, and then Emmett slowly crawled off of me. Edward was glaring at Emmett as he rushed to me scooping me up in his arms, and cradling me to his chest.
"Edward, I had to hold her down. She was literally ripping Tanya apart bro." He gestured to Tanya whose left arm was still dangling off of her shoulder.
I had almost ripped it away, but their interruptions had distracted me.
Edward, they needed to stop me. Don't be mad at them. I would have killed the bitch.
Love, I don't care. You could have killed her. I just didn't want you to get hurt.
Well, I totally kicked ass so ha. I mentally stuck my tongue out at him, and he kissed my hair.
Just then everyone flew into the room. The bitch's family rushed to her, and my family rushed to me.
"Carlisle, make sure that whore isn't going to lose her arm. I'm fine." I told Carlisle as he started to walk towards me obviously checking me out to make sure I was not harmed. I was his priority.
He nodded and turned to the bitch, and he looked at her arm, which was starting to sickeningly reattach itself to her shoulder. I grimaced as I saw the tendons in his arms reach out and twist together. It was sickening to watch.
The whole family crowded around me blocking the gross image from my sight, but nobody spoke.
Everyone looked angry, and it confused me for a minute. Were they mad at me or were they mad at the bitch, or was Esme mad about the house. Oh my God, look at all of the damage.
My mouth opened slightly in horror as I examined the destroyed staircase, and the railing on the landing that I had thrown ourselves off of. The door to our bedroom was laying across the hall splintered in different directions and angles, and there were indentations all along the floor and walls in the room.
Bella you are utterly ridiculous. The house can be fixed easily and quickly. Esme is just upset because she thinks that you are angry at her.
For what! How could I ever be angry with her? She did nothing wrong!
She insisted we give her a second chance, and look at what happened. She feels that she let her daughter down.
No never!
"Oh Esme!" I cried out pushing myself out of Edward's arms. "I am sorry about the house and everything. Please this is so not your fault. Please..."
I hugged her tightly and she leaned her head against mine. "I am so sorry my daughter. I am so sorry. She is gone now..... tonight." she spoke gently and she pulled away kissing my forehead as if she were really my mother.
She turned around and her voice was firm and angry.
"It's time for your family to leave."
