Chapter 9: Proof

Bella POV:

The Cullens were here. They were HERE! I thought that I had finally escaped them and their insufferable smothering. I guess not. They were in the throne room waiting. I lead Caius to the feeding room and waited by the throne room for them to finish. It didn't creep me out, now that I think about it. I was perfectly fine with him killing people while I just idly stood by. When I was with Edward, I would have freaked out if I thought someone had died just to sustain him. But, with Caius, I really didn't care. Strange. So not like me. Actually, Not like Bella. It's like Isabella. I'm a new me!

Caius was walking towards me, but I didn't register his footsteps until he was right in front of me. His hands slid into place on my hips like they had always been there. I hope they always will be. I smiled up at him and he smiled back. It wasn't his smirk or a coy smile. It was a plain old smile. I felt like I was glowing. He smiled like that for me. Little old me. I was practically jumping for joy. Since I couldn't do that, I settled for a kiss.

I pressed my lips to his sweetly, but things didn't stay sweet for long . . .

But then I remembered. Aro was expecting us. I sighed into his mouth and pulled away. He rested his forehead on mine. "We will finish this later" His low voice promised things that made me shiver. I grinned up at him as I took a step back. "you're looking better." He did. He was walking well, all by himself! "Feeding helped alot. Thank you for mentioning that. I would not have thought of it without you." I smiled again. Small smile this time. This moment seemed precious, easy to break. "You are welcome" I whispered, just before pressing my lips to his.

My heartbeat sped up erratically, I think that's what tipped Aro off. He cleared his throat loudly, loud enough for little human me to hear. Caius pulled away and growled lowly. I put my hand on his cheek. "Calm. Patience." A smile came onto my face as he relaxed at my touch. I leaned in, my mouth at his ear. "Later." His wicked grin was all I could see was he led me into the throne room. He sat on his throne and I seated myself comfortably on his lap. I then turned my attention to the guests. Oh. I had forgotten about them. "Cullens" I hissed. I was mad. I sounded like a vampire.

I scared me.

Caius POV:

I think shes mad. "Cullens" She hissed out and I quickly put my arm across her waist. Right then, I think she could do harm to the cullens and their rock hard asses. The way she was looking at them was enough to make me mad. I readied myself to hold back a very pissed off and very dangerous human.

She was scary.

Emmett POV:

Woah. I think she was mad at us. The way she had hissed my choice made me shrink back. Rose didn't seem scared. She smiled at Bella and took a step forwards. Bella was practically glaring daggers at us. If looks could kill . . . Bellie bear. My little sister. So innocent. So nieve. We took that from her. We made her this. I focused on her. If I didn't put all of my concentration onto her, I would start to think about who she was sitting on. That monster! HE didn't deserve her. Rose had started talking, I should probably play attention. She'll kill me if I don't.

"Bella. The only reason we are here is to see. To ask. To talk." Her voice was sure and steady. I was proud of her. Bella stood up after making Caius let her go. She stalked to the front of the stage and looked down on us. "Then talk" Woah. Frost bitch much! I might have frost bite from the ice that practically dripped from those two words. She really didn't like us.

"Bella, we know that we hurt you. Well, I know we hurt you. I'm really glad that you are finally getting the life and choice you deserve. To me, you chose right." Good so far . . . keep it coming Rose. " I care, Bella. I just want to know one thing. Are you happy? If you are, we will leave, and you can forget about us. Are you happy? That's all I ask." Yes! I think my wonderful wife did it! Bella wasn't expecting that. Her mouth fell open and I saw the surprise in her eyes. I decided it was time for me to do my part.

"Bellie bear, Fuckward deserved to die after what he did to you. We are here for you. Just wanted you to know."

I felt happy at the small smile that graced her features.

Bella POV:

Rosalie? On my side? Well, thats new. Then Emmett spoke his part. Once he was done I snorted. "Fuckward. I like that." Emmett let out his goofy chuckle as I smiled slightly. "Rose. yes. I am happy. I am the most happy I have ever been." Rose smiled at me. A real, true happy smile. Then, because I was happy and not stressed out for more than a second, a growl ran through the room.

Jasper. God! Listen to your wife like a good vamp.

"Bella! I blame you. Edward made some mistakes but that doesn't mean he deserved to DIE! Your fault! Its all your fault that he is dead. I should kill you. Show you what you did to him." oooo! Who pissed of The Jasper! Dum Dee Dum Dee Doooooo. Heh. "Fuckward did deserve to die, Jasper. What he did to me . . . Well, I should show you what he did to me" Rose was next to me as a single tear ran down my cheek. Well this is all very dramatic. Like a movie or a book. Her presence was strangely comforting, I could tell we were going to be best friends. Well, new times, new things, I guess. "Prove it. Prove that he deserved to die for what he did."

He didn't. Oh, he did. He went there.

"You want proof, Jasper? Here's your proof."

I walked down the steps without stumbling once. A miracle! I remembered from the incident with James that Jasper's gift was strengthened with physical contact. I walked up to him and laid one hand on his smooth, cool arm. The feeling of it was nearly enough to send me to tears . . . It felt so much like his arm. I thought back to when he had left me. The hole in my chest. The huge, gaping, painful hole. The feeling of incompleteness. The feeling that something incredibly important had been ripped away.

His gasp echoed through the room. I remembered the sharp edges of the hole gnawing away at my life. His face was contorted in pain. I remembered feeling like I was drowning, as if he was my ability to swim . . . I remembered finding it hard to breathe. Jasper was on his knees, but I held contact with his marble skin. I remembered that night. I remembered his words. "Bella. I don't love you . . ." God, the pain. "you were just a plaything. Something to occupy my time. I never loved you, Bella" I pulled my hand away, pushing the memory's back into banishment. My face was twisted into a mask of pain and hatred.

I took a shaky breath as Jasper curled into a ball on the floor. I composed myself and leant into Rose. "Have you heard the expression, 'I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy' Jasper?" He was getting better, slowly clambering his way onto his feet. "I felt that way for months, Jasper. Months!" He whimpered in remembered pain. "Jasper, that was a memory. Not nearly as bad as the real thing." My voice changed into a snarl. "There's your proof. He deserved to die."

Jasper was on his feet, looking better.

"He deserved to die" His whispered echo of my words seemed loud in the silent room.

"Yes, he did. Yes he did"
