Moonlight

Confrontation

BellaPOV

I started for the forest and I got a good few metres before the others noticed I had disappeared. By now I was already in the shadow of the forest.

" Bella," Jasper shouted out. I ignored him and kept going, forcing my way through the dense foliage.

" No you don't Bella," Carlisle said as he wrapped his arm around my waist and started to pull me back to the baseball clearing. I struggled but there wasn't much I could do against a 300-year-old vampire.

" Edward," I kept saying.

" We will get him back Bella," Eleazar promised.

" Now Alice why are they here and why didn't you see them before?" Esme asked taking her daughters hands in her own.

" I don't know why they are here but I didn't see them before because they weren't going to visit. They were passing by and decided to drop in," Alice answered closing her eyes.

" We have to save Edward," I urged.

" We will Bella," Carlisle said rubbing my back, " we will,"

" But you two are going home," Esme said firmly.

" What!?" we both yelled.

" These are normal vampires. They could kill you," Tanya said gently.

" So could you," I burst out.

" Yeah, but we take our chances. Why not this time?" Jasper argued, " That is my brother out there that needs my help,"

" Absolutely not," Carlisle said firmly, " Irina, Kate could you please take these two back home?"

" Of course," Irina said.

" Okay," Kate said, " Come on. Bella, Jasper. Please don't make a scene,"

" Fine," I huffed. Jasper grumbled but we both followed Kate and Irina to the edge of the forest.

" Now, hop on," Kate instructed me. I took a running leap and landed on her back. I was angry.

" Woah, slow down there. That almost hurt," Kate said. I growled and clung on tighter.

" Up you get Jasper," Irina said. Jasper narrowed his eyes.

" I can run," Jasper said.

" Not fast enough," Irina said and grabbed Jasper flinging him onto her back.

" Why can't you be Alice?" Jasper grumbled.

" Sorry mate," Irina replied as the two girls started running. Last time, when I was on Edward's back, this run had felt exhilarating. Now, on Kate's back, it felt terrifying. But that was probably because Edward wasn't around to carry me.

My phone started to ring but I assumed it was Dad so I left it. And like there was anyway I could answer it on the back of a vampire.

" You wanna get that?" Kate asked as we ran to the Jeep.

" Nah, I look later," I replied.

" Okay," she replied as she basically threw me into the backseat with Jazz. I was tense. I could feel it. I was so worried about Edward. Jazz felt my tension and he grabbed my hand. I instantly calmed down a little.

Jasper was weird like that. It was like he could make you fell what he wanted you to feel. Charisma I suppose.

We arrived at the Cullens to find the lights on.

" Did we leave the lights on?" I asked as Kate opened her door.

" I didn…," she started but then both her and Irina went rigid.

" What?" I asked. They instantly both started to get back into the car but suddenly we were surrounded by black. Everywhere I looked was black. I reached out for Jasper's hand but I could feel anything but blackness. I cried out. Tears started to cascade down my cheeks. All I wanted was to see the light. I could feel myself starting to pass out but I wouldn't let myself give into the blackness. If that is what it really was. I fought to stay conscious. Faces cropped up in my mind. Edward. Jasper. Emmett. Rose. Alice. Dad. Mum. Renesmee. I screamed again.

Then, just as suddenly, it was light. I tried to collapse onto the floor but found I was being held up.

" Bella,"

I looked up into the golden eyes of my love.

" Edward," I gasped.

" Ah, happy reunion,"

I tried to turn but I couldn't.

" Let them go, Caius!" Edward yelled.

Them? I looked around the room to see Jasper, Kate and Irina also being held. A large, Emmett-sized vampire was holding Edward. Jasper was being held by a small vampire with a, almost angelic face. Kate and Irina were both being held by vampires who I couldn't see the faces of.

" Ah company," the vampire that Edward had yelled at drawled. I frowned but then understood as the rest of our family burst through the door.

" Bit late Alice," Caius smirked.

" Go away, Caius," Alice said rudely.

" Okay," Caius replied simply and clicked his fingers. Edward, Kate and Irina were dropped but Jasper and I were still being held.

" All of them," Carlisle ordered.

" Ah Carlisle. You see I can't do that. Your family has broken our rule and these humans know too much. They must be destroyed," Caius drawled as the vampire holding me tightened his grip. The pain was excruciating that I couldn't hold in a scream.

" Bella!" Edward and Jasper yelled.

" Aww, did that hurt young one?" Caius asked but before I could reply Ruby and Jade walked in.

" Wow," Ruby said.

" Who is this?" Caius asked peering at the twins.

" Ruby and Jade. They are half-human, half-vampire and you will not touch them," Edward answered.

" Hybrids," a small vampire by Caius' side gasped.

" Yes," Ruby answered.

" Unbelievable," the small vampire sneered.

" Well believe it," Jade said boldly. The small vampire shrieked but Caius put a hand on her shoulder.

" Save that anger for someone else Jane," he said in her ear.

" Let Jasper and Bella go," Edward said again.

" No," Caius said harshly and then he turned to the small Jane, " But let's have some fun first,"

"NO!" Edward and Alice yelled.

Jane smiled her evil, angelic, smile.

" I think Jasper first. He thinks he is invincible," Caius laughed as Jane turned her sickly sweet smile on my brother.

Jasper started to scream and yell and he began twisting and turning in his captures arms. I started horrified, as my brother was tortured from the inside. Now I understood what Edward had meant as them having talents that made his look like a parlour trick. I wanted to save Jasper but there was nothing to could do in my current position.

" STOP!" Alice and I screamed. Jane's smile just turned into a grimace as Jazz creamed louder.

" Leave him alone," I sobbed. Edward took one look at my face and leapt in front of Jasper. Jasper stopped screaming but Edward dropped to the ground. He was twisting and withering but he didn't make a noise. The expression on his face was pure torture to him and me.

" STOP!" I screamed again, " LEAVE MY FAMILY ALONE!"

" Such big lungs on such a small girl," Caius smirked in my direction. Jane looked my way and Edward stopped twitching. He jumped up.

" Let Bella and Jasper go," he said slowly, " There transformation dates are set we are just waiting for them to get older. Let them go,"

" What age?" Caius asked.

" 18," Esme answered speaking for the first time.

" How old are they now?" Jane asked.

" 14 and 16," Ruby answered.

" Fine but one thing before we leave," Caius said and a threatening smirk popped up on his face.

" NO!" Edward and Alice yelled but Jane had already turned to me. I braced myself for the pain but nothing came. Jane's face screwed up as she tried to hurt me. But nothing.

" Impossible," Caius gasped.

" Mind shield. Now, if you please we would like our house back," Carlisle said calmly.

Caius scowled and with a flick of his wrist Jazz and I were dropped and they were gone.

" Jasper," I cried.

" I am fine Bella," I heard him cry back.

Edward ran to me and picked me up and he pressed his lips to mine. My hand wound its way up and tangled itself in his bronze hair. I crushed my lips back at his and he groaned in pleasure. Edward wound his arms around my waist and he lifted me up so my feet were dangling of the ground. I brought them up so the were bent at the knee and behind my backside. Edward's lips left mine and he hungrily began exploring the line from the corner of my lips to the hollow of my neck and back again. I groaned as he brought his lips back to mine and finished it with a small peck on the lips. I opened my eyes and he put me down. There was silence until…

" AWWWW,"

I blushed. Everyone laughed.

" Wow," I smiled.

" Bella are you okay?" Jasper asked from behind me. I spun around and threw myself into my brother's arms.

" Never better," I smiled.

" Sure, sure," he laughed.

" Well now, what should we do now?" Esme asked.

" Sleep," Jasper, Ruby, Jade and I all said at the same time.

As I had my shower that night I thought back to the kiss. Edward had never let go like that before. We had shared the occasional peck on the lips or cheek but never anything like that. It was magical and made me see just how much Edward meant to me and I actually loved him more, if that was possible.

What a day.

As I got in bed i remebered the text from before. I took out my phone and opened it. The message wasfrom Alice. I pressed the read button and laughed.

DONT GO IN HOUSE. VOLTURI WAITING. RUN TO ALASKA

Oops.

A/N: Hah, Bella and Edward's first real kiss… Haha I had fun writing that chapter… I had my Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack on while I wrote it and it made me feel all dramatic… Haha…
