Bella

Although I was sitting on the floor in our room I could hear the clock in the kitchen tick by slowly. He had exactly 15 seconds to come in the room before I would leave. I was terrified about facing so many enemies at once, but I was desperate knowing that Jasper most likely wouldn't come meant that I had to call in back-ups.

I could no longer hold on to the belief of seeing my parents anymore, after finally embracing the life I had to lead now I have to rely on my new family. Although Carlisle and Esme were disappointed in my mission, they understood and were sending the rest of the "children" to help me. I couldn't wait to feed my inner Vampire Bella. She was feeling hungry again, but not for blood, although I knew I would have to feed before I left to maximize my strength. I was hungry to destroy the one person who ruined what could have been my fairytale ending.

Didn't I deserve to have a happy ending? If she hadn't gone and fucked up my mate I wouldn't be seething to tear her up and rip apart the pieces. I knew that I had a long, long way to go before I would be a gifted warrior, so I would have to depend on my gift. I would end her even if I killed myself in the process.

The last second ticked away and echoed in the beautiful farm house that had become my home in the last week. I sighed. I regretted even keeping a shred of hope that he would want to fight this demon with me. I ghosted downstairs. Giving Peter and Char a hug and kiss goodbye.

"Take care of him for me, you know, if I don't make it back," I just barely controlled the choking emotion that tried to invade me in the end.

Char looked at me sympathetically.

"We will," she whispered into the dark room, "take care of yourself, too. He doesn't say it, but he loves you so much. You are the other piece of him." I couldn't even look at her as I quickly looked towards Peter.

"I know that everything will work out," he tapped his temple," and your sister Alice does too. Just make sure to trust every instinct."

I nodded somberly and walked out their door, shutting the door softly behind me. He said that everything would work out, but had it ever for us?

I started running as I neared the tree line outside of the house. I had a family to meet, a bitch to destroy, and a happy ending to make myself.

I couldn't heal his scars, he had to do that himself, but I could destroy the thing that burnt him. This must be love if I had the need to kill anything that hurt him.

-TtM-

My new body would never feel the release of sweet and tears, but I could barely feel my way out of the emotional turmoil that the last few months had been like.

I let my mind try to untangle itself and thought about becoming a vampire, falling so deeply in love with my sire that I couldn't see straight, losing the only people I cared about, gaining so much more, killing wolves, and now; another fight to the death. The worst part was that I wasn't sick of fighting. I wanted to sink my teeth into the flesh of Maria's neck and hear the grinding of her dismantling body parts.

I smelt them before I saw them. Thank God I didn't have to think as I let myself travel to our meeting place.

Alice gave me an almost identical look as Charlotte. She gave me one second before she leapt at me and hugging me fiercely.

I let the tearless sobs flow, clutching myself to the person I was closest to.

"Shhh, I know sweetie, I know," Alice patted my back, letting me lose myself without the condemnation of Jasper.

I could feel Edward trying to listen into my thoughts, but I kept them tightly latched to me, I didn't want to bring anyone inside of my dark thoughts.

"Hey! Are we ready to go or what?" Oh Emmett, impatient as always.

I managed a smirk at him and he gave me a shudder in return. Must be the crimson eyes.

"Yes, I am all for leaving. Are you sure you want to do this with me, this is your last out." I looked around at my family.

Their expressions were vast but all offered me support. Emmett was determined and excited, Rosalie was unsure but still supportive, Alice was excited and my anchor, and Edward, of course, was worried but would still be there for me and his wife.

We left as a group, Alice was chattering a mile a minute, giving me the game plan as I thought of things back to her.

"I really just need to goad her into going with me alone, so that I can give her my shield. I would love to do it with my own hands, but I have to fight dirty just like she does."

Everyone nodded their heads at my directives. It was risky but I thought that it should only take me a short time if I can get her to raise my temper enough. My trigger with the wolves was leaving my family, but I knew that wouldn't be enough to hold me this time. I would have to think about the wrongs she did to my Jasper.

Even if he wouldn't stand with me now, I would still fight for him to be free from her.

I needed to feed before we got any closer. I felt uneasy though since everyone else was very vegetarian while I was now a meat eating carnivore.

"I need to bring up my strength. We should stop in the next town. You can all get your animals in and I need to hunt for my food."

They tried not to show their disgust, but I caught a little. They really couldn't do it though, and I know they had friends who had the normal vamp diet.

"I agree," thankfully little Ali was always trying to keep things smooth, "we need a little alone time anyway before we get there. We have one full day of running before things get crazy."

I nodded at her, thankful to her for being there for me when the one person who really mattered left.

We left our separate ways and I smelt my way into the alley. I needed a fast meal, but I was slightly nervous, then I felt him. My non-existent blood boiled while fire and lust ignited me.

"Excited to see me? How could I ever leave you? I'm not fucking perfect, but I am in love with you, and I will be with you kicking that bitch's ass. So? A positive or B negative tonight?"

A hysterical laugh burst from my chest.

"Oh my God, you came. I thought you would just leave me and I would die for you, and God I love you SO much!" I didn't give him a chance to answer me and launched myself into his arms. An atomic bomb could have dropped, the president could have been watching, but still I gave him all of me.

I sighed into his mouth as he wasted no time in gently tugging my clothes from my body. He groaned as I kissed my way down his chest and slowly unbuttoned his jeans, sliding them down so I could reach him and wrap my arm around him fully. We both gasped as I lowered myself onto him and tipped my head back, my hair brushing his knees. I cried out as he furiously pumped into me, proving to me finally that we were one. I shuddered as his body claimed me, crashing me into oblivion and tipping him along with me.

"Bella!" He cried out into the night.

I kissed him tenderly, slowly as he wrapped his arms around me. Everything clicked into place. Finally, finally I knew what it was like to have a mate that would face his biggest fear and heartbreak and follow me into the fire. It was anyone's guess if we would make it, but at least I finally knew that we would live or die together.

"Ok, I love you enough to go back to humans. The vile disgusting ones."

"That's all I asked," I smirked.

After an easy feeding we fled back to the meeting place to wait for the rest of the family. I was getting anxious. I just wanted to fight, I wanted to start a fire.

I heard the light footprints of our family, Alice and Edward leading the way.

"It's time," Alice's voice barely reached above our hearing and I could hear the nerves in it.

"Everything will be ok, no matter what," Edward whispered tenderly to her. I turned my head. I was selfishly selfless. I wanted to save Jasper, but I was condemning the rest of my family at the same time.

Emmett impatiently cracked his knuckles.

"Are we doing this or what? We're almost to the point that they'll know soon, so we either gotta go face this bitch, or we ain't doing shit."

A chorus of ready's echoed in the forest and we ghosted our way closer to the inferno.

I let my rage feed the ink of my shield, stretching it and snapping it back in place. As long as Jasper could feed me his anger my shield would pulse with the rage and be able to hold as many of them as I could.

I just wanted Maria's head, everyone else would either be a casualty or free, I could care less.

"We'll distract them for as long as we can, just get Maria and then we're going."

I nodded to Rosalie.

We smelt them before we saw them. There had to have been at least twenty newborns plus Maria and the newest one to take my Major's place.

Jasper and I locked hands and I let our bond feed my anger. I thought of how she fucked him up, how I didn't get a normal mate because of that bitch. The ink thickened and stretched, and I zapped it as far as I could. I only caught about ten but it was enough to alert the rest of them.

The haze took over again, vampire Bella was out in full force.

Emmett and Rosalie fought together in sync the only way that mates could.

"Are we late to the party," I nearly gasped as the twang behind me rang out into the night.

"Almost, fucker. I thought you weren't comin'?"

"And leave my brother? No way in hell. I told the little one it was going to work out, and fuck it if it ain't."

I managed a laugh at Peter and pulled myself back into the fight. Another blood brother and sister I could count on.

Jasper and I dropped the newborns on our way to get Maria. She waited for us at the top of her herd. Through our connection I didn't feel any fear from her.

I heard the grinding as the family easily decimated the strong vampires behind us. I guess after fighting wolves a group of baby vamps was easy.

We gasped and fell. I felt like I was being torn apart from the inside. I desperately tried to catch my shield and break my connection from Jasper. If I could get us apart I wouldn't feel whatever was happening and be able to save us and pay back whoever the fuck thought it would be ok to mess with us.

"Stop," I heard a Spanish sonata from the person I knew to be Maria. I gasped and broke the connection, shielding us and throwing the rest as far as I could.

I heard a scream as a different female fell to the ground. She looked like she didn't belong in the current company.

Now along with Maria and her lieutenant there was a small blonde girl on the ground next to them cloaked in deep black, her eyes ruby red.

She glared at me from the ground and smirked, trying to cause the inside agony again.

As chaos reigned around us I popped to my feet and ran, Maria ran towards me and it was as if the river parted and allowed us to just fight.

"No tricks, just you and me," Maria bit out.

I nodded my head, although I had no intention of letting that bitch get close to Jasper again.

Jasper ran towards the other two, even with that crazy little bitch there I had no fear that he would be able to destroy them. I banned my mate to the back of my mind and switched back over to the fight I had been waiting for since I discovered my love for Jasper.

She came at me, her experience far advanced than anyone besides Jasper, but I refused to even let her try and strike me. I shot my shield out forcing her to the ground. She must have figured that because I nodded I would fight fair, she was wrong, but then she may have known that too and thought that her skills would beat my shield.

I jumped into my shield and felt the dark energy pulse around me. Although she was weak, she still fought me tooth and nail within the haze. I felt my arm detach and tried to bite for her neck, snapping towards her chest.

I stomped on her leg, snapping it from the knee down. I zapped my shield with more power and heard her gasp. She was fighting now, but she wouldn't be for long.

I stopped for a tenth of a second as I heard from clear across the dirt what the little witch said to Jasper.

"Kill me know and you will have to deal with the whole Volturi," Jasper merely ignored her and tore her neck from her shoulders. Shit. He didn't really think that one through.

Jasper ran for me after, his face set in stone panic. The attention I spent on him was spent in our bubble of Maria using the last of her strength to snap off my other arm. I screamed. The pain from both of my arms was making me lose my shield.

Just as she went for my neck Jasper grabbed her by the head, ripping it off of her. My shield shuddered and snapped back into me and Jasper grabbed Maria and tossed her into the pyre closest to us and sped back towards me.

I laid prone on the floor. I felt like I could pass out from the pain if I were human.

Jasper spat on my arms and reattached them. A scream bellowed out again. It felt like the fire burning again as venom attached my arms to my body. As my body fixed itself Jasper went to check and make sure everyone else was ok.

Between Edward and Alice, Emmett and Rosalie, and Peter and Char they decimated the measly amount of newborns. I was so grateful that no one besides me was hurt this go around. Then my brain sped towards the blonde girl.

The Volturi would come for us.
