Alex's POV
We went back to my house and Bella and I started to
pack bags. We told dad that Esme invited us to go to
a retreat to try, and help us come to a compromise.
He agreed since one, it was about to be spring break,
and two I pointed out that he had the whole house to
himself for some alone time with Cora
Esme was there and promised to keep an eye on us.
She said that Rosalie, and Alice would be going as
well and it'd be a nice girls' week filled with
shopping, mani-pedis, and bonding. Dad was happy
that Bella and I made friends, so he agreed with little
hesitation. Also it was girls only, so that means no
boys for Bella.
~~~timeskip~~~
Alice and Jasper took us to a hotel while Edward and
the rest handled James and Victoria. We stayed at a
hotel for a few days in separate rooms to prevent
Bella from trying anything. Alice was following
James's path since he figured out our ploy, and
Jasper went for a quick hunt and to grab us food I
requested bbq (A/n: I am in fact craving bbq ribs 😅)Jasper had been gone for 5 minutes and Alice was in
the other room sketching on her vision pad trying to
figure out where James would go, when Bella barged
in "I started my period and I need to go get supplies.
Come with me" before I could respond she grabbed
me by my arm and yanked me from the bed where I
was watching tv. Bella dragged me out the hotel and
to a taxi that was waiting for us.
I had a bad feeling about this.
~~~another timeskip because I don't want to be in a
car with Bella Swan~~~
We arrived at our old ballet studio much to my
confusion. We entered and I heard a recording of
Renee call out to Bella. Bella bolted to the voice
before I could warn her.
Bella ripped open a closet door only to find a
childhood video of her and Renee. Pissed off she
stomped towards me and looked like she was about
to yell at me as if it were my fault that her mother,
who was still in prison, was not here. Bella froze as
she stared behind me, then I heard a sadistic
chuckle."You were a stubborn child, weren't you Bella? A
spoiled one too. Not as obedient or as graceful as
your sister here. Definitely not as pretty either. She's
the whole package, unlike you" James purred from
behind me "No wonder Edward is so attached.
Maybe I'll turn her and make her my pet after I kill
you" "No! Kill her! You were supposed to let my
mother go, kill her, and turn me! That was the deal!"
"W-what?" I asked breathlessly.
I was crying out of fear now and I placed both my
hands on my stomach in an attempt to shield my
unborn children. "Oh, no, no, no. None of that, now.
You see your sister and I had a deal that I would give
her eternal life and beauty if she handed you to me"
James cooed at me. I whimpered and screwed my
eyes shut "P-please" I barely managed to choke out.
I felt so weak and helpless just like before with Phil,
and with those boys'. I hated it. I hate this feeling of
being powerless. How was I supposed to protect my
babies like this? How was I supposed to protect
myself? James continued to coo at me and he
grabbed my waist about to bite me, but he froze and
pushed my hands away to feel my stomach. He
looked at me wide eyed.Before he looked at Bella with a look of pure
unadulterated rage. Before I could blink I was locked
into the storage closet, I started banging and
shouting to be let out. Bella had taken my phone
earlier in the cab, so I couldn't call for help. I started
shaking the door handle as I heard glass shattering
Bella's fearful pained screams, and James's angry
yells. "You know I've done a lot of unforgivable
things in my human and immortal life, but I never
harmed a pregnant woman or a child!"
I faintly heard a snapping sound and Bella's screams
get louder. More glass shattered and I heard Bella
beg for help, then I smelled smoke. I panicked more
and started banging on the door and screaming
louder. The door was ripped open by its hinges and
there stood Edward looking panicked. He yanked me
out of the closet and into his arms. I peered over his
shoulder to watch the chaos behind him.
Jasper and Emmett had ripped James off of Bella,
and were dragging him towards a fire that Alice had
started. Esme and Carlisle were hovering over a
beaten up Bella who's leg had been twisted at an odd
angle and glass was sticking out of her body. She was
currently claiming that she was dying and begging
Carlisle to turn her. Carlisle was shaking his head saying that her leg was the worst of her injuries. I
looked around for Rosalie and saw her appear next
to uS.
"Edward we have to get her out of here, the smoke"
She didn't need to say another word. Edward
scooped me up bridal style and sped me to the
nearest hospital. Bella, Carlisle, and Esme followed
shortly after.
~~~timeskip~~~
The worst part about knowing the truth about the
Cullens was having to lie to the people I love. The
story we told dad was that Esme, Bella, and Rose
were going down to the indoor pool when Rose and
Bella got into an argument. Esme managed to break
them up, but Bella stormed off and Esme and Rose
followed only to lose sight of her after she slipped
and fell through the hotel window.
Meanwhile Alice and I were baking cupcakes when
Alice remembered that she couldn't cook and blew
up an oven after adding too much sugar and baking
soda. Thankfully the only bad thing about our injuries was smoke inhalation. Emmett had a field
day remaking the crime scenes.
Edward didn't leave my side for a minute. Dad was
relieved to see that we were all mostly okay. Bella
complained about having broken leg for prom.
