I own nothing
-Bella-
"You are more trouble than what your worth, Isabella. Hell we haven't even gotten the time to have a lot of fun with you yet" Phil growled at me, but I made my face remain emotionless.
"A whole coven, we have had to keep a whole coven away from this area, planting traps, false trails, everything! We have to do it so constantly because they think you are in this area!" I was shocked, but I kept it off my face.
That was why they disappeared so much, because the Cullen's were coming after me. They were gone so much, so it must mean they are close to us, and they need to keep them away. They can't have fun and be disrupted by a large number of vampires they couldn't possibly fight off. I almost smiled. Almost.
I could do this. I needed to distract them long enough for Alice. I let my wings spread, smirking.
"You think you could beat me?" I asked, putting all my effort into being intimidating. I needed to buy time. I couldn't attack….not yet.
"Isabella, you couldn't hope to defeat me" Phil laughed.
I could hear the lock mechanisms moving around as Alice expertly unlocked her chain. I tensed myself, focusing on Phil.
"You can't defeat me" I whispered. I ran at him, forgetting about the chain that was still clasped around my neck. It was a blur, with my wings came speed. A lot of speed. Spinning, twisting, dodging. I would kick, he would dodge, he would punch I would dodge. It was getting us nowhere quickly. I glanced at Alice and saw she was in the same predicament with Charlie.
I pivoted on my foot as he threw another punch, setting myself to his side as I brought my fist down. My strength had apparently grown too, for the cusses that came from Phil were defiantly not from pleasure. While he was distracted I placed a well-aimed kick at his legs, he jumped at the last second, turning faster than before and landing a punch to my side.
It hurt. A lot. I bit my lip and swallowed the developing scream, I wouldn't give his the satisfaction. I noticed my problem when I turned to him, before he stood at the mouth of the cave, the chain around my neck was behind me, now I was close to the entrance and Phil was holding the chain. He smiled wickedly, and I did the only thing that came to mind. I focused my mind on Charlie, focusing all the pain on him.
I needed to save Alice, I wouldn't let her die for me.
"Run!" I screamed at her as I pulled my chain while keeping focus on Charlie. She didn't flee, she ran towards me. While I was in a tug-of-war match with Phil, while keeping Charlie occupied with pain, Alice grabbed the chain, pulling with one hand as she began to work the lock. It was then Phil who ran at Alice, intend of taking her life.
It happened so quickly, I switched focus to Phil as Alice picked the lock; it fell from my neck as Charlie attacked. Instinctively, without thinking, I manoeuvred Alice behind me, my wings splayed wide to protect her as I took a fighting stance. Charlie came at me; my focus broke from Phil as I focused on Charlie. It took mere seconds for Phil to recover, but I had already turned and ran. I grabbed onto Alice and ran, my wings started flapping and before I knew it I was in the air, with two vampires following my on the ground. I was right, flying came instinctively. I glided over the trees, careful to stay high enough so they couldn't reach. It was only when I felt the pain that I realised we might very well die.
I screamed as something pierced my wing, I looked over to find an arrow. My wing seized, and with what I had left, I bought both my wings around Alice and myself, protecting her and myself as much as possible. I was unable to hold back whimpers and screams as I fell through the trees my back and wings hitting branches, and eventually the hard earth. I heard the sound of bones snapping.
My wings moved out of the way, Alice was fine, but I didn't inspect my own body, afraid of what I would find. Alice's eyes where black, butI couldn't move, it hurt so much, and the last thing that registered was a redheaded vampire with a crossbow in her hand, and Charlie and Phil standing by her, Alice moved into a fighting position, ready to protect and I was sure I heard distinct growling unlike any vampire's I had heard.
-Edward-
Pain! Jasper yelled in his mind as he raced forward. Bella. Alice. I ran after him, and stopped in a clearing. Jasper was beside Alice in an instant, helping fend off the three unknown vampires, and I was by Bella. Broken. Her wings…. No! Her blood smelt so sweet, I felt myself leaning towards her when I hel my breath and told myself firmly I couldn't kill my mate,
I pushed back the rage, directed at who ever had defiled my girl, and took stock of her injures. She was more important than the fight right now. There was blood, her injuries not life threatening, and yet even at I stared at her, she seemed less pale. It was then I realised she was healing, her body healing itself even in sleep. Amazing….
Carlisle was with me minutes later, Emmitt had joined the fight, and I approved as I found everyone was holding their breath. I turned to join the fight, but a warm hand stopped me. I turned my eyes towards Bella's.
"I….love" her eyes closed a moment as she wheezed out the last word "…you" If my heart was beating it would have stopped.
"No Bella! You can't! Don't, no don't! You can't die! I love you, you can't leave me!" I cried out in pure agony. Her heart began to slow.
Thump…thump…thump…thump…..thump
"Bella! Wake up, please wake up!" I cried desperately
Thump….thump….thump
"Do something Carlisle! Save her!" I screamed at him, but he shook his head.
Thump….thump
"She doesn't need to be saved" Carlisle whispered, but I was too far gone in agony and desperation to read the thoughts that made him say this.
…Thump…
"Bella… Don't leave me. I love you, Bella, I love you. You can't die here" I whispered as I pressed my forehead to hers. Tears that were unable to fall gathered in my eyes and Bella's heart stuttered.
