Broken

Chapter 17

Today is the day I get use of my mouth again.

It's been a little depressing since I've been stuck in the hospital since the attack on Edward's life or maybe mine, we're not really sure.

The doctor came to us removed everything and told me no steaks for a while, soft foods only and to be careful and mindful of everything else as I was still fragile. She also put me on a vitamin regime to help strengthen my bones, muscles and immune system and a high protein diet to help me gain weight and an appetite. Which right now will be through protein shakes.

"Bella how does it feel?" Rose asked, concern laced in her voice.

"I-It hurts still." I said barely moving my mouth.

"It will Bella. Probably a few weeks. I want you to try and talk as much as possible, but for short periods of time. You have to be careful as not to get lockjaw. No yelling or singing either." My doctor told me.

After I was officially released, Edward, me and our families piled into our SUV's along with my guards and headed home.

"Bella, we've added additional security, so there's guards here 24/7, some you can see and others you can't and anywhere you or Edward go, they'll follow. We believe James is out to get you back at any cost and possibly kill Edward." Carlisle sighed.

"Then I need to go. I can't be here and risk someone else getting hurt or Edward getting killed." I stood to go and pack but Edward grabbed my hand.

"You're not going anywhere. I'd risk my life for you Bella. Haven't you figured that out yet? We're going to nail James and everyone else in his family. We'll be safe soon enough." He pulled me next to him and kissed my hand.

"Edward, I can't risk you and your family's safety for mine." I shook my head.

"Don't do this to me Bella. If you leave, I might as well have died." He shook his head.

"Don't you dare say that!" I snapped.

"Calm down Bella. Remember what your doctor said." Edward calmed me by rubbing my back with his good hand.

"Sorry, I'm just so overwhelmed right now." I cried.

"We all are Bella. Let's go rest until dinner." Edward pulled me towards the stairs.

We laid in bed snuggled together, whispering promises of forever and a better future.

"How the fuck could you miss that red headed freak!" I yelled at the so called sniper before my man put a gun to his head and shot him.

"Make sure he's not found." I snapped and went to my office.

"I see you're continuing to piss off the good people of Forks." My dad was sitting at my desk.

"Yeah, just a little. Did you get anything on the divorce? I can't let that little bitch win!" I slammed my hands on my desk.

"If you would've trained her better she wouldn't have left you! She'd be obedient like your mother. Do you think I have to raise a hand to your mother anymore? NO! She learned within the first few months of marriage. Occasionally she'd get out of hand or eat too much and I'd have to remind her but that's few and far between." My dad shook his head at me.

"Dad, Bella was meek and quiet, it was her damn family that was the problem!" I shouted.

"Then you should have taken care of them first! Or at the very least turned her against them!" he sighed.

"Well it's too late for that now. It'd look a little suspicious if anyone else gets hurt or dies with the exception of her dad because he's a cop." I shrugged.

"Well then what are you waiting for? Daddy has a date with a gun." My dad smiled, which made me smile. If her dad was out of the picture she'd come running back, afraid it'd happen to someone else she cared about.

"I'm on it dad." I picked up my phone and called Dmitri.

By tomorrow night Bella will be back.

"Did you get all that?" I asked.

"Yes sir. Names and all." My partner agreed.

"Good, now we need to warn them and set things in motion. The Hunters will fall." I promised myself and my partner.

AN:

So the demise of the Hunters is coming…

I hope you're ready for it…
