~Esme's POV~

   I woke up to a dimly lit room. I sat up and saw Ki crouched between me and Bella.
"Bella?" Ki shushed me so I moved around to the others. I crawled over to Carlisle an shook him fiercly. I was mentally yelling for him to wake up but it wasn't working. I went over to Rosalie and shook her awake. I held a finger to my lips to tell her to be quiet and she nodded. I motioned her to wake up the others just as Jasper shot up looking around. He went straight to Alice and smoothed back her hair. I went back to Carlisle and he was finally stirring awake. I pulled him up and hugged him breathless. He hugged me just as much and kissed me afterwards. I looked at our family and they were all awake. I smiled at them but Edward was staring at Bella and Ki. He had pinned her down and a knife was plunged into her chest.
"Where's the amulet Esme? We need to get Chucky out of her." I gulped and placed a hand on my stomach. Ki turned around and looked at my hand.
"Good hiding place but I need it now." Carlisle had Emmett and Edward hold my arms and wrists down while the girls went over to help hold Bella down. Carlisle looked at me apoligetically before he tore open my abdomen. I screamed out in pain but I heard laughing along with it. I could feel everything that was happening as he tore through my non working organs again. I felt him reach the amulet and yank it out. He threw it over to Ki and turned back to me. Emmett and Edward went over to Ki while Carlisle patched me up. I groaned a little standing up but we took our time. Ki was holding the amulet above Bella's body and was reciting a chant he knew. This chant was in a language I didn't know so it sounded like gibberish to me. I heard clouds gather above us and noticed we were outside of the house surrounded by trees. Lightening struck around us and I clinged onto Carlisle as one hit just next to us. Bella was convulsing like electricity was traveling through her body.
"Join hands! That way he won't escape!" Ki shouted at us and we quickly made a circle to help Bella. Ki joined us and then we were frozen in place.
"I can't move!" Rosalie shouted over the thunder rumbling overhead. I looked up and gasped seeing two spirits fighting.
"Bella!" I shouted up at her and she looked around. Everyone else followed my gaze to the spirits.
"She can't hear you! She has to do this on her own!" Ki yelled over to me. I looked back up and silently prayed that she would be okay.

~Bella's POV~

   Everyone was gone from the apartment but I wasn't there now. Everything faded away and Chucky appeared in front of me laughing. I steeled my gaze at him as he approached me.
"You are very stubborn. I should've killed you when I had the chance!" I growled at him and he laughed again.
"You'll have to go through me first, stud." A light grew bright between us and when I pulled my hands from my eyes Tiffany was there.
"Bella!" I looked around but I didn't know where the sound came from.
"She has to do this on her own!" I recognized the voices and smiled towards Chucky. I stepped forward alongside Tiffany and held her hand. Her form changed into a human one and she smiled at me with sky blue eyes. We turned to Chucky and his form changed too into the criminal that he was before the doll. He growled at us and tried lunging towards us. I held out a hand at him and a bright light shot out and hit his left arm. He groaned in pain and held the stump that was left.
"You don't get to hurt my family anymore!" I yelled out and Tiffany held her hand out at him; shooting his other arm away. Another pained groan came from him but also a growl. I saw a door open behind him and a cloaked figure come out of it. The hood dropped as a wind blew and I gasped. Death itself was here! He held out both of his hands and when he opened one hand my soul was there. I moved my hand other a little and my soul floated to my open palm. I felt the warmth of my soul move through my body. I opened my eyes and they were golden with what I was about to do. I looked over at Tiffany and held up our joined hands towards Chucky.
"NOOOOOOO!" A beam of light shot out from our joined hands and it pushed him back into Death's grip. Another whoosh of air came from behind me and tried pushing Tiffany towards Death.
"No! She is not going to hell! She's good!" Death turned his gaze to me and memories pushed into my head. Most of them was of her killing people but there were a few good ones as well. I felt a hand cover mine and saw it was Tiffany smiling at me.
"It's okay. I know I've done aweful things and this is what I deserve. Don't worry about me; just take care of my children." I nodded and let go of me. Death grabbed her arm and pulled her through the door.
"Take care." A voice whisperd through my mind. I smiled at where the door was and then felt myself falling. I closed my eyes as my spirit fell down into my physical form.
   I groaned as pain took over me as concisnous came back to me. The grass under me was tickling my neck and arms. It was very wet like it just rained and I got caught in it.
"Bella?" I cracked open my eyes and saw Ki.
"Ki." I smiled at him and he helped me sit up. Pain raced through me from my back and I hissed out a curse. I gripped Ki tighter and he stopped moving me.
"Her back." Hands pulled up my shirt and I felt a coldness brush against the wound. I sighed a little and then the hands were pulled away.
"She needs stitches." Ki nodded to the person behind me and he tried moving me again.
"Let me help." A pale hand came into my vision and I scanned my eyes up into golden eyes.
"Edward." He smiled at me and helped lift me up onto my feet. I was able to turn around just fine and I smiled at my family. Memories rushed back to me and I grabbed my head as a searing pain rushed through my mind.

"I killed them cause they were snooping where they shouldn't have been." Ki's told me and I growled at him.
"Your father was getting suspicious of me so he had to go." I lunged at Ki then.

"You killed them."I spoke low and deadly to the open air. I felt myself levitate and turn towards Ki.
"You killed my family. Now you'll pay for that." I held up my hand towards him and he was picked up off the ground. He tried grabbing the invisible hand that was around his throat.
"I didn't....know; Bella I was...following..orders.." I clenched my hand tighter and watched him grow limp.
NO!
The word shouted through my mind and I snapped out of it. I saw Ki on the ground and gasped as I didn't see any breathing. I was moved slowly onto the ground and ran towards Ki. I turned him face up and put my head on his chest. I heard a faint heartbeat and sobbed.
"Help me, please!" Carlisle came over and looked over him.
"I can't do anything Bella. Our venom is poison to his kind, I'm sorry." I sobbed against his chest just as the sun rose breaking through the trees. I listened to his heartbeat as it fought against his chest.
"Bella." I looked up into Ki's eyes and smiled through my tears.
"I'll be okay. Let me go." He handed me his necklace he always wore and dropped his head. I felt his heart stop and the dam inside broke. I hugged the necklace to my chest and sobbed harder. A hand touched my shoulder and I turned to the chest that brushed against my side. The body pulled me away from Ki and held me tight. I heard leaves being broken behind us and I turned around to face a bunch of people walking towards our group. I knew it was Ki's family and I smiled as I stepped out of Edward's grip. The leader held his fist over his chest and bowed towards me. I reciprocated the gesture and let them through to Ki's body.
"Our brother needs rest. Thank you for your service; we shall meet again." The shawman said the prayer to his body and I physically saw his body relax. I smiled knowing he wil be able to rest and not worry about me anymore.
"As an imprint of our tribe you are to be protected at all costs. This is Ki's last wish and so it shall be." I felt something brand onto my heart and I felt the love of hundreds of people.
"Thank you." The shawman smiled at me and touched my shoulder.
"He knew this was going to happen and he was ready to let you go." I nodded at him and saw them carry his body away.
"You will always know where we are." He left with that and I turned to the Cullens.
"So how long now?" Edward stepped forward and grabbed my hands.
"That is up to you. I will never leave your side unless you tell me to." I smiled and hugged him.
"I think I'm ready to let go of this life. I have no one except you guys and I'm okay with that." Edward led me to the house where we would begin our forever.
