EDWARD
Bella and I made our way into the house and down into the basement.
"Good you're here. We were just about to call you. I need to get her into Emmett's Jeep," Carlisle said to us. I walked over to where Jasper and Emmett were holding each of Emma's arms and put my hand on her shoulder. We led her to the car and we all climbed in with Carlisle. Rosalie, Alice, Esme and Bella all followed in Carlisle's car.
We arrived at what looked like a church less than ten minutes later. We got out of the jeep and made our way inside.
It was a church. It had the stain glass windows surrounding the walls. With a very large cross at the altar. There were half a dozen humans standing at the end of the church. We made our way up to them.
"Carlisle, I am sorry we have to meet on such an occasion. However it is nice to see you again," the man dressed in white robes.
"Yes Christopher. It is." Carlisle answered him.
"Bring her over here and tie her up," Christopher ordered. Emmett, Jasper and I all brought Emma to the table in the centre of the humans. They had all formed a circle around the table. With Christopher closest to the cross.
We tied her to the table and stepped away.
"That will be all, thank you boys," the priest said to us. I turned to look at Carlisle. He nodded.
Go son but stay near. I nodded back and we walked out of the building. I ran to Bella who was standing at a distance from the church, wrapping her up in my arms. She let out a sigh of relief and securely threaded her arms through mine and around my waist, resting her head on my chest.
"Come on, we need to move away," I said to my wife and siblings. We all made our way further into the small town. I wasn't completely sure where we were. We found a small café not far from the church. I was still in range of Carlisle's thoughts. I couldn't hear anyone else's but that was only because I was more in tune with Carlisle, it was easier to hear him.
"It's starting," I said to everyone. Bella still had her arms around my waist as we sat down, she remained curled into my side and I put my arm around her, kissing her head. I focused on Carlisle's thoughts. They had begun the exorcism. Christopher was reading from an old book at the head of the table. He was alternating between English and Latin. The other humans around him recited their lines perfectly. Watching it from Carlisle's mind made it seem like a movie. It didn't seem real watching it from a distance.
"They're performing the ritual now," I told everyone.
"Is everything going ok?" Esme asked. I watched her face carefully; I could see the pain she was in having Carlisle in the church.
"So far, yes. They're purifying the area. They are just about to communicate with the demon." I said to her, she nodded nervously.
"Demon, I call you. Why did you take the body of this girl?" Christopher commanded. The girl just stared furiously at Christopher. "I demand you in the name of the father, answer me!" Christopher shouted. Emma squirmed and screamed.
"She was weak. Alone. I took her because I wanted to," Emma snarled.
"I demand you leave the child!" Christopher ordered.
"Nooo!" she hissed and pulled on the chains holding her to the table. Carlisle ran over and held her down.
"Away Carlisle!" Christopher shouted.
"She's strong, she will get loose!" Carlisle said back. Christopher nodded.
"LEAVE THE GIRL!" he ordered the demon again.
"NO!" Emma snarled in her deep crazed voice.
"I call upon the father, the son and the holy spirit. Aid me in banishing this creation of evil. Protect the children of God. Save this child from domination." Christopher shouted through Emma's screams. "LEAVE THIS CHILD DEMON!" he shouted one last time at Emma.
Emma shook violently. Screaming at the top of her lungs.
"I can hear her screaming Edward," Esme said. Bella cringed into my side. She was right. We could hear it.
"It's nearly over," I said as I stroked Bella's back.
"LEAVE HER!" Christopher ordered again. Emma's body continued to shake and her face distorted as she screamed. A huge cloud of black smoke escaped her mouth, surrounding her and Carlisle at the table. The cloud faded away and all was left was the limp body of Emma collapsed on the table. Carlisle put his fingers on her neck. Still breathing. He thought.
"Emma?" he asked the unconscious girl. Whilst Carlisle worked on getting Emma back, Christopher and the rest of the humans finished the ritual.
"Thank you witnesses, you are free to go," Christopher said. The humans made their way out of the church leaving Carlisle and Christopher with the girl.
"Is she ok?" he asked Carlisle. Carlisle nodded.
"I think so," he said.
Come back Edward. It's all over. Carlisle thought.
I stood up from the table to address my siblings.
"Come on, it's over, we can go back," I said to my family. Everyone sighed in relief and stood up. We made our way back to the church. Esme ran ahead and straight into Carlisle's arms. Carlisle held her securely at the foot of the table.
"Is she ok?" Esme asked.
"Yes, we are just waiting for her to wake up," he whispered to her as Bella, my siblings and I made our way to them.
"What are we going to do with her?"
"We will take her home, let her sleep, feed her, then return her to her family. Assuming she can deal with this." Carlisle said.
"Oh I hope she will be ok," Esme said sadly. Bella curled back into my side, Emmett took Rosalie's hand and Jasper placed his hand on Alice's shoulder. We all hoped she would. Not long after Emma turned over. She sucked in a sharp breath and sat up.
"What…?" she asked looking around. She looked into Carlisle's eyes and burst out crying. Esme rushed over to her and pulled her into her embrace. Emma continued to sob and eventually her sobs became tearless cries. She pulled herself up from Esme.
"Thank you," she said to Carlisle and then turned to Christopher. "Really," she said. They both nodded to her.
"So do you remember everything Emma?" Carlisle asked.
"Yes, it was like I was trapped in my own body. Someone else was controlling me. I couldn't do anything except watch." She sobbed.
"Emma, do you have any idea why this happened to you? How it happened?" Carlisle asked. She shook her head.
"I have no idea. I was by my locker, putting my books away before I went to lunch and I felt a strange feeling in my stomach. Like someone had winded me. Then my vision became blurry and I lost control of myself. I couldn't move. Then I remember seeing Renesmee trying to help me I was trying to call out to her, I wanted her ask her what was happening but when I opened my mouth the voice that came out wasn't mine, and it didn't say what I wanted to say," she said.
"Can you remember what you said?" Bella asked her. She nodded.
"I said vampire," she replied.
"Emma, it is very important that you do not tell anyone what has happened to you. Not a lot of people are going to believe you; people are going to think you're crazy." Carlisle said. She nodded.
"I know. I don't think I'll be able to tell anyone." She whispered.
"If you ever need to talk to anyone we are here, we'll give you our address. I know you don't know us well but we're Renesmee's family. We would never hurt you."
"Thank you," she said. "And thank you for saving my life."
"You're welcome, come on, let's get you home," Carlisle said and Esme helped her off the table. Carlisle thanked Christopher and we left the church. Bella rang Jacob to let him know what happened and Bella and I ran to La Push rather than back to the house with the others.
We explained everything to everyone and the girls went to bed. Bella and I sat together on the couch for the remainder of the night. Jacob went to bed soon after the girls and Eddie decided to go hunting for a while.
"Do you think everything will go back to normal now?" Bella asked me.
"I hope so. We just need to help Chloe adjust. It wouldn't surprise me if she's at our house a lot now." I said to her.
"Hmm," she murmured and moved into my side. I pulled her closer to me and rested my head on her shoulder with her hair near my face. I breathed in the sweet heavenly scent of my Bella and closed my eyes. Sighing in complete content.
