Jacob POV

Caroline and the other leech hovered over Bella's unconscious beaten body. I growled and they tensed for a fight. A fight I was happy to give them. I took a step forward, ready to jump and crouched to fight.

The Mexican leech threw herself at me which I neatly dodged as she went crashing into the dry wall. The wall cracked and she stood quickly. I almost felt bad for destroying the hotel room yet again, but the Cullens had plenty of money. She made another lurch for me but I caught her with my mouth and threw her into Caroline and they both flew backwards.

"Ah you mutt! How dare you!" she stood, "What do you want from her anyway? As far as I know all she's ever done is cause you pain!"

I ran at her ignoring her stinging words. I knew about her mind games, though I'd figured out that she couldn't get into my head. I guessed that it was along the same lines as Alice not being able to see us.

She grabbed my front legs and threw me into the bathroom. I landed in the over sized bathtub but quickly recovered and charged again. The Mexican threw herself at me and I caught her by the leg and with a quick flick of my head, her leg came off and she let out an ear piercing scream. I spat out the leg and went for her again but she was gone.

Caroline was over by Bella again reaching for her. I pounced on her, pinning her to the blood stained carpet. She tried to bite my leg but I quickly jumped off of her.

She stood. "Honestly Jake, why are you still around? She obviously chose Edward over you. You can't honestly still want to be her friend. She put you through the ringer. Seriously."

I growled.

"I mean look at her," she said. I did. She was on her back covered in blood and bruises. Her breathing was shallow and labored. She wasn't going to last much longer.

"She's weak, pathetic and soon to be deceased. After that, she'll be nothing but a memory. But I'll be around for a long time."

I growled. I needed to end this and get her to a doctor or something. I wanted Dr. Fang to see her so I wouldn't have to make up an excuse but he was across the country.

I snapped at her but she neatly dodged it. I tried again and caught a hold of her arm and threw her across the room. She recoved quickly and stood, staring me down. It was serious now.

Edward's POV

I followed Caroline's scent back to the hotel that the Bella girl was staying at. I entered the building and could smell the sweet blood several floors up. I took the stair fly up them at incredible speed and came to the room. The door was locked so I pushed it open.

The scene was an odd one. Caroline was staring down a sandy brown wolf and the wolf was growling back. The Bella girl was lying on the floor barely breathing. She was bleeding from several places and her limbs were contorted in unnatural ways.

At that moment, a flood of images hit me. One of me in Forks High School and the beautiful brunette girl sitting next to me, looking scared. Another of her smiling across from a table in a restaurant. I saw her talking to my family in the clearing and I saw her sleeping. I saw her looking at me with the saddest eyes, and I felt the pain she felt.

Images of her in Volterra, and more of her writing on paper. I saw her talking to a Quileute boy named Jacob and her talking to Alice. I saw her crying heaps of tears and walking toward me in white.

Everything made sense now. Bella. My Bella. My wife, my reason for existence.

I ran to her and cradle her to my chest gently. If would cried if possible. "Oh Bella. I'm so sorry! Please forgive me! Please!"

Her breathing was shallow. Her eyelids fluttered open and her brown eyes looked at me. "E-Edward?" she said through bruised lips.

"I'm here, love. God, I'm so sorry. I love you." I told her and kissed her head very softly.

"You...remember?"

"I do. Oh god, I do."

"Good... I love you.." she closed her eyes and her heart started to slow.

"No Bella! Please no!"

I heard Caroline cackle. "Oh what to do, what to do! Change her and make her a soulless monster or let her fade." She laughed again.

I looked at Bella again. I heard Jacob's contradicting thoughts. He didn't want to see her become like me but he didn't want her dead either.

What did I want? What did Bella want? I sighed trying to block out Jacob's thoughts as I made a decision...

ha.
