Bella's POV

My heart was racing and the burning coursed through my veins like a wildfire. I screamed, so loud I thought my lungs might burst; I begged for someone to just make it stop but it was no use the burning continued. How long had I been like this? Days? Seemed like weeks. I could feel my body gaining strength, not just physically but sensually I could hear almost everything. The fire began to seep toward my heart, the hotter it got in my chest the faster my heart beat. It had to be over, how much more of this pain could I be expected to endure? And finally my heart stopped, and when I opened my eyes I didn't expect who was standing beside me smiling.

"Darling Bella, your awake!" said the angel with his piercing golden eyes and sweet honey colored hair. He was my angel.

Edward POV

I could feel the pressure in the air begin to change and even without my enhanced abilities, I knew the fight was starting. I was in the clearing with Bella, standing so statuesque and I could see the fear and anxiety painted all across her beautiful face. She was so scared for all of us, well my family I was in no danger, and thankfully at the moment neither was she. Watching the fight through the eyes and ears of the pack was fascinating, they were so calm and collected, something I was not sure if I could be in that situation. I watched as the newborns split up and headed in two directions, one side toward my family and the other to the wolves. Everything was going according to plan, and then I saw her. She came stalking to my family like they were what she was after, but it wasn't. She was looking for Bella, my beautiful Bella. Alice was the first to go near her, they danced, but neither gaining any advance. At an instant Jasper was by her side trying to fight off another vampire, Riley, he was a newborn just to the one year mark, he fought with such passion and diligence and eventually the had Jasper nearly to the ground. Alice turned to look at Jasper and Victoria caught her off guard, tearing a chunk out of Alice's left arm. Alice hissed, so did I.

"What's happening?" I heard her voice strain on the words, I turned to look at the girl all but forgotten standing beside me.

"Victoria" I spit through my teeth, the loathing seeping through each syllable.

Bella looked at me terrified and confused. I didn't need to read her thoughts to know she had misinterpreted what I meant.

"She's fighting Alice, and a newborn buddy of hers has a good grip on Jasper" I looked back to the fight where Alice was so desperately trying to help Jasper but at the same time trying to save herself. Her focus was going in and out and I could tell she was seeing something, but what? I wasn't close enough to hear her thoughts. Why had I decided to stay behind? How could I do this to my family? I turned to Bella no longer being able to endure it.

"I have to go help, Alice and Jasper, they need me" I looked at her pleading with her. She began to tear a little but I couldn't let that stop me I had to help my family I couldn't stand and do nothing.

"Go" she said, and relief washed through me, "Go save Alice. Please be careful" I smiled glad that she wasn't going to fight me on it. I leaned down and kissed her forehead and then her lips.

"I will. Stay here with Seth. I'll be back as soon as I can." I looked at her and I could see she was holding back all her tears, she would let them go when I was gone, "I love you Bella, my dearest sweet Bella, I love you"

"I l-love you too" her voice broke a little at the end as she held back more tears.

I reached the fight in a matter of seconds. I could see Jasper struggling against the newborn, and finally I saw Alice and her. I let out a loud snarl and Victoria looked at me for a moment, she smiled, and then looked back at Alice. Alice was practically defenseless, she was having a vision, I saw her vision and I couldn't believe it. I turned to look at Jasper and then I heard it, there was the sound of metal tearing and screeching, I turned back and Victoria had Alice's head hanging by just the smallest patch of skin. She reached and took out a small lighter. Jasper screamed, crying out in pain, and there on the ground lay sweet, silly Alice burning to death. There was nothing I could do for her now, accept what she would have wanted. I ran to Jasper and got the newborn off him so he could have a fair fight then I turned to Victoria. She was smiling again, I couldn't take her smugness anymore. I reached out to her and grabbed hold of her neck and then pulled her closer, her thoughts hit me like a wall of bricks. She thought of how easily she believed it would be to get away from me and back to Bella, she wanted to kill my precious Bella. There was no way I was letting that happen.

"You'll never touch her" I hissed

"We shall see" she twisted her mouth into a grin and lunged at me. I stepped into a defensive crouch and was prepared to strike back, but she never touched me. I looked to my side and she was on the ground being held there. Where had she come from? What was she doing here? More importantly why was she helping me?
