Sadly Beautiful

I know I know, doesn't post for two weeks and then posts two in two days. I love you guys, and girls, what can I say?

I had a few nice reviews on the last chapter, I'd like to say a special thanks or two. Firstly, a thanks to Dejee, your continuing support is so endearing and makes me want to keep writing. Also, your profile picture is a wolf and you seem to love them, so it makes me want to add the infamous wolves to my story.

My second thanks is to Redlikeroses (Jazzykins ;) for being my motivator and pushing me to write, and level, it's really helpful for me, and it means that everyone can enjoy my chapter, or not enjoy it, to each their own. I'm glad you pushed me to write fan fictions, and showed me that they're fun to read, and I'm glad we can share this haha.

I know most of you probably don't even read my authors notes, I don't read other peoples very often, but if you are reading this, tanks! I hope you all enjoy and find this chapter to be as good as the others, or as bad whatever ;)

Lastly, I hate writing in third person but it makes more sense for Alice's visions, if I fucked it up, which I probably did, forgive me? I tried to make this chapter flow nicely and make sense, whilst being a bit darker than the others, I don't know how well it went but ah well. Oh, and should I do her vision in italics? Or is that annoying to read, and if it is, give me a suggestion?

Nyaa~ (I stole that from you Jaz, I know I know. I've done this chapter just because you asked, so suck it up.)

Chapter fifteen - Pain

Alice POV

I loved holding her like this, even in the cold, damp forest. I loved the feel of her skin against mine, the dull heat radiating off of her body made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. I didn't even have to concentrate on running back, I was able to dodge the trees and other obstacles easily, without any effort.

I'd been running with her in my arms for about a minute, it may have been more but time was hard to measure as a vampire, when I suddenly stopped and my vision glazed over.

Jacob was sitting on a beaten, dirty couch in a small house. He looked like he was waiting for something, he was tapping his leg anxiously and scanning the room periodically. He was wearing only tattered shorts, displaying his muscled chest for anyone to see.

After a few moments, the door opened and a man walked in. He was wearing fishing gear and his sun glasses and large hat made it difficult for anyone to identify him. Jacob stood, and shook his hand.

"I'm glad you agreed to talk to me Charlie," Jacob told him.

He waved the thanks away and took a seat opposite where Jacob had been sat. "It's not a problem, I've known you for a long time and you sounded serious, figured I'd come and see if I could help you out," Charlie informed him.

Jacob took the seat he'd been, he leaned forward and put both elbows on his knees, before studying Charlie intently. Neither of them spoke for a while, Charlie did shift uncomfortably under his gaze though.

"Jacob what's this abo-"

"Did you know that your daughter is in a relationship with another girl?! Jacob asked incredulously, cutting across Charlie.

Charlie stiffened, and sat upright. "I don't see how that's any concern to you, but yes she is. I'm happy for her, if she's found the person she wants to spend the rest of her life with, then I'm happy with whoever she's chosen." He put heavy emphasis on the word 'person,' making it clear to Jacob that he was fine with it.

Jacob stared at him, practically shaking with anger. He stood up and walked towards Charlie, taking heavy, angered steps. "You mean to tell me that you're okay with what your daughter is doing? She. Is. A. Freak!"

Charlie recoiled like he'd been physically hurt by Jacob's words. He didn't say anything for a few minutes, this seemed to frustrate Jacob further.

"You're a failure as a father Charlie, you've fucked your daughter up. She should be with someone like me, but no. You. Are. A. Failure."

Charlie stood up and punched Jacob, hard, in the face. Jacob stood completely still, un-moving while Charlie waved his hand around and gasped in pain.

"You shouldn't have done that Charlie..." Jacob told him, shaking in anger.

"You shouldn't have called my daughter a freak just because she had better taste than you." Charlie told him, furiously.

This was the final straw for Jacob, he roared and phased into his russet coloured wolf form. Charlie flew backwards and landed in a heap, blood seeping out of him.

FUCK...NO, I almost screamed, I ran as fast as I could towards the house. It seemed to take an age to get there, but finally I ran through the door. I set Bella down onto the couch, not wanting to look into her eyes, scared my un-dead heart would break.

"Call Carlisle, tell him it's an emergency and he needs to get back here as fast as he can, okay?" I asked frantically, it was ruder than I meant it to sound but right now I didn't care. My vision glazed over again.

Charlie lay on the floor, not moving with blood pouring out of his wounds. Jacob stood there, in his wolf form, staring at the spot where Charlie had been standing.

Within seconds the Alpha of the pack rushed in, flanked by two other members of the pack. "Jacob, what have you done?!" Sam asked, paniced.

Jacob didn't reply, he continued to stare at the empty space that Charlie had once occupied. Sam didn't wait for a reply, he turned to face the two pack members on either side of him.

"Quill, get to a phone and call the Cullens, ask Carlisle to come over here. Only he can save him."

"B-But... Traditions?" Quill asked confused

"Fuck traditions, this man will die!" Sam shouted. "Go. NOW!" He ordered, using his Alpha command.

He turned to the other Quillete, "Embry, go to the council and tell them what happened, don't edit the story in any way, we all saw it. Now," He growled.

My vision ended, just as the phone rang. I ran at super human speed and picked it up, cutting off the message we were about to recieve from Quill.

"It's Alice, the psychic, I saw what happened. Carlisle is on his way, we'll be there as soon as we can, thanks," I told him before quickly hanging up.

I heard Bella talking to Carlisle on the phone, meaning that he'd be here in a few minutes, probably less giving the severity of the situation. I took the time I had to wait, to grab a few supplies that Carlisle would probably need. I didn't know what any of this stuff did, but I figured if we had it in the house then it would help on a human patient, mainly because it was all here for Bella anyway. I piled all this equipment into Emmet's jeep before walking into the living room, just as Carlisle walked in.

I walked towards him immediately and whispered into his, making sure to be as quiet as I could so Bella wouldn't hear.

"I'll give you the short version. Jacob made Charlie angry, Charlie punched him, Jacob phased next to him." Carlisle gasped but I ignored him and continued taling, "The wolves want us to come to their land, you're his only chance Carlisle..."

I paused and let the information sink in.

"It's bad, really bad. He's in critical condition, I could tell from the amount of blood, we need to leave now."

He nodded in agreement and he left the room, quickly telling everyone what had happened. I heard them all getting into cars but I knew that I had to tell Bella what had happened, and offer her the chance to come, it may be the last time she would ever see Charlie again.

I turned to her, my head held low, holding in tears.

Bella POV

I felt my heart sinking, not Charlie. Oh god please not Charlie.

Alice turned to face me, her head was held low but I saw her eyes sparkling. If I didn't know that they were probably tears, it would have been a nice effect. Sadly though, I knew that whatever these 'tears' (Vampires can't properly cry but tears can form) meant, it was nothing good.

"Bella, honey, can you listen to me for a second?" She asked, timidly. I nodded numbly, not trusting my voice.

Before she had a chance to tell me what had happened, Carlisle walked in quickly. "Alice, we need to leave. NOW!" He said urgently. This worried me more than anything else, I'd never heard Carlisle raise his voice before, ever.

"LEAVE! Go now, we'll take another car." She shouted at her 'father,' he didn't waste a second, as soon as she was finished, his car was purring to life and roaring out of the drive. When he was gone, she turned her attention to me, her face was a portrait of regret and pure agony.

I felt my heart throb painfully when I saw this, I hated that she was in pain. The instinct to protect and comfort my mate was all consuming, before I was aware what I was doing, I'd pulled her into an embrace and put our foreheads together.

"Alice, we can get through this together, what happened?" I questioned.

"Charlie upset Jacob and he phased next to him-"

"HE WHAT!?" I exploded. My vision clouded over red, I was going to kill him. I was going to rip his filthy arrogant head off his shoulders and pull his fucking heart out of his chest. I was going to make his suffer. I wa...

Alice pulled me out of my thoughts, she slapped me across the face, albeit not very hard. "He's hurt, really badly. We need to go now." She rubbed my cheek apologeticly, obviously regretting that she'd had to do that. I didn't mind though, it helped me see through my rage induced haze.

My dad... The only family member I had left. I couldn't lose him, I wouldn't lose him. I don't know what I'd do if he di... No! Don't think that word, focus on just being there for him. Alice seemed to realise that I'd need some help, so she pulled me gently into her arms and zoomed out of the house.

She pulled me into my car, but in the passenger seat. I let her place me there, feeling numb all over. She was in the drivers seat in less than a second, pulling out incredibly fast in the same movement. I'd never seen her drive so fast, she was pushing the sports car to it's limit, which I was thankful for.

I knew that we'd be in La Push in a few minutes, probably less given the speed at which she's driving right now. I put my head in my hands, how had this happened.

Jacob... That was how it had happened. He was the common denominator, the one thing that kept everything going wrong. Kill...Maim...Hurt, my thoughts whispered to me. I shook my head, quieting my thoughts, not yet, this wasn't the right time.

Alice snarled in frustration, pressing her foot harder on the pedal, willing the car to go faster. I wanted to think of something to say to calm her down, but I was barely keeping myself together so I didn't know how I'd be able to help her. I realised that it was probably my feelings that were causing her to feel like this, part of the whole mating thing, being able to feel each others emotions.

I tried to reign my swirling emotions in, for Alice's sake, but I couldn't find the power. I was too angry, angry that this had happened and that someone had allowed Jacob to be there alone with Charlie. Hurt that my only family member could die, that someone who'd always been there for me could cease to breath because of one fucking wolf.

I let out the scream that had been building inside me, I screamed for as long as I could, trying to release the torrent of emotions inside of me. I screamed so hard, I felt the blood vessels in my eyes straining and knew I had to stop before I caused any damage to myself. I sighed, rubbing my head, capturing the tears that had begun to fall with my hand.

I looked and saw Alice eyeing me in the mirror, pain etched across every feature. It was as if someone had taken her perfect marble features and distorted them to convey every painful emotion someone had ever felt, seeing this caused another wave of pain to wash across me.

I shut myself up for the rest of the journey, refusing to listen to my thoughts. It was only about a minute before we finally arrived at Jacob's house. I saw about ten people outside, all pacing around anxiously. Jacob was being restrained, or guarded it was hard to tell, by three incredibly muscled men, I could only assume they were members of the pack.

The car stopped, Alice instantly pulled me into her arms, and carried me inside. I was prepared for almost anything, but not for the scene I saw when I walked in.

Blood was spattered across the walls, or what was left of the walls. Huge chunks and craters had been taken out of them when Jacob had turned, the entire room looked like it had been bombed. The worst thing about the room was the shape in the center.

Charl- No dad, was lying on the floor, Carlisle was frantically trying to save him, but it appeared to be failing. I climbed out of Alice's arms, and slowly walked forward to him. I knelt down next to him and took his hand, which felt incredibly weak. In this moment, something changed, it felt like my heart had stopped beating blood and was instead beating pure, undiluted, liquid pain. Causing every part of me to be in anguish.

This couldn't be happening, please no.

I'd never had a chance to tell him how much he meaned to me, he couldn't see me graduate, couldn't see me marry Alice. Tears spilled over, drenching my face, large sobs racked my body. No...

NO!

This wouldn't happen, someone could save him, anyone? "Carlisle...?"

He shook his head sadly and clasped my shoulder, staring deeply into my eyes, "There is nothing I can do, believe me I tried Bella."

My shoulders slumped and I nodded, taking my dads hands again, staring into his eyes, silently trying to show him out how much I loved him.

I held his hand like this, staring deeply into his eyes, for about a minute. It was one of the longest minutes of my life, but it had to come to an end. The erratic beating of his heart, slowed, before finally stopping completely. I stayed there, feeling completely numb.

I let out a primal, animalistic scream. I screamed until my voice croaked and I couldn't anymore, then I beat the ground with my fists, trying to release the suffering inside me. I picked up items that hadn't been destroyed already and smashed and broke them, pounding more holes in the plastered walls, snarling and growling.

I kept this up for a few minutes, before kneeling next to the body of my father, just sitting and sobbing.

I felt Alice's hand on my shoulder, but I didn't respond, I just sat there. It felt so surreal, almost like an out of body experience. I knew that I couldn't stay here, that I had to do something. I leaned over my dead fathers body, and closed his eye lids, before placing both his hands on his chest.

I stood up and turned to the Alpha of the pack, "Bring Jacob in here, I want to talk to him." He studied me curiously for a second, before replying.

"I don't take orders from yo-"

I silenced him quickly, "No, you do. At least today you do. My dad is dead because of YOU AND YOU'RE FUCKING WOLF PACK, SO YOU'RE GOING TO BRING JACOB IN HERE, DO YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND ME, MUTT?" I snarled.

He nodded and walked out of the room, deciding it wasn't worth the fight. Alice took my hand in hers and tried to console me, I vaguely realised I was shaking, not that I cared. I freed my hand from Alice's grip.

"No, let me do this... Please?" My voice cracked painfully, she nodded in defeat.

Jacob walked slowly into the room, his head held low with tears streaking down his cheeks. He looked at me and opened his mouth to speak. I shook my head, gesturing for him to come closer. He ablidged and something snapped inside of me. I lunged for him, somehow pushing him through the air and through the wall. We landed unevenly on the ground, I jumped quickly onto him.

I let my instincts take over, I wasn't really aware of what was happening.

Pounce on him. Enemy. Wicked enemy. Always grinning, always smirking, laughing. Must make it stop. Will stop it. Anger takes control. Punch in the face. He groans, bloody marks are left. I grin, evil, twisted, vicious. Don't care. I like it. His pain. My pleasure. He will suffer. I growl, strike him with other hand. Again. Right. Left. Right. Left. Right. Left. Right. Left. Right.

Try to speak. Shout command. Tell him. Scream. Can't. Words muffled. Come out as growl, loud and angry. Inhuman. Guttural. Garbled. Don't care. See my pain. Feel my pain. Beg for mercy! Beg. Bastard, beg! No response. Angers me. Speed. Arms moving so quickly. Time slowing? Can't tell. Don't care. Enjoying too much.

Time passes. Seconds. Minutes. Hours? Don't know. Hard to tell. Lost track. Never kept track. I don't let up. Blood splatters. Hits my face. What was that? Uncertain. Ignore. Seconds, minutes, time. Passes by.

Vision blur starts to clear. Arm speed decreases. Slows. Time normal. Fists continue. Refuse to stop yet. Mind begins to clear. Thoughts expand. Anger dissipates. Hate. Fury. Sorrow. Pain. All swirling together inside, like an inferno. The inferno is losing strength and size, but it did little to help the void left inside me, I felt myself numbing.

I was vaguelly aware of people pulling me off of Jacob, I let them, I didn't really care anymore. Alice wrapped me in her arms and whispered in my ear, "We have to leave..." I nodded reluctantly.

"Alice... My dad, the body, please?" I croaked out incoherently, she seemed to understand. "It's already been taken care of," She reassured me. As Alice was walking me back to her car, I turned back and saw two things.

Jacob's face was a mess, it was almost impossible to tell that he was human, it was just a mess of blood and flesh. I didn't feel any remorse, he'd probably be healed in a week anyway. The second thing I noticed scared me, but my mind wasn't working to shout out to anyone.

I saw Saun standing in the woods near the house, everyone seemed to preoccupied to notice him. He saw me, smiled and waved, before turning and running into the woods.

Annnnd finish.

I hope you all liked it, it was hard for me to write but I think I made it work.

To clear up any confusion there may be, Bella's 'gift' is incredible speed, meaning that she could hurt Jacob's wolf form. Her hands will be damaged next chapter, she's just too pained to notice.

Anyway, with that being said I hope nothing else confused anyone, if it did just ask.

Until next time

Bai!
