The Golden Swan // Edward Cullen

Chapter eighty-six

Alice walked passed them... keeping her head forward, walking straight up to Aro.

"Darling Alice! It's so good to see you again," Aro smiled.

Alice nodded.

"I want you to prove to me that Brea isn't lying about carrying the twins," Aro replied.

Alice held out her hand... allowing Aro to read her mind, within moments he saw the truth... that Brea in fact carried them.

"It is true brothers," Aro smiled.

Alice looked over her shoulder, looking from Brea to Edward... opening up her mind.

"He has other plans for us! Get the twins ready... say goodbye to them," Alice thought.

Edward and Brea placed River and Meadow on the back of their mates.... kissing them both goodbye.

Suddenly Brea grabbed her head and groaned... she dropped to her knees and closed her eyes. Alice was showing her a vision.

"It doesn't matter what I show you, you still won't change your mind," Alice frowned, pulling her hand away.

She turned away and mouthed NOW.

Brea jumped to her feet and looked at the twins.... Quickly looking at Seth and Leah, and nodded.

"Take care of them," She whispered.

And with that Seth and Leah turned around and ran off into the woods.... Alice pushed Aro back, and soon his guards grabbed her....

"Let her go!!" Carlisle growled, rushing towards Aro.

Aro snapped his head up.... smiling as Carlisle got closer.

Aro and Carlisle stood face to face, practically touching noses.... both breathing hard.

"Let her go! Now!" Carlisle snapped.

"And if I don't? What are you going to do?" Aro asked.

"What I should've done along time ago," Carlisle said.

Carlisle grabbed Aro by the neck... squeezing as hard as he could, but he quickly fell to his knees... groaning in pain.

Brea looked around searching for the one who caused pain just by looking at someone... within a matter of seconds she found Jane, appearing from behind Aro... looking down at Carlisle.

And in a blink of an eye... Aro ripped Carlisle's head clean off.

Everything moved in slow motion in that moment... Brea looked over at Esme, watching as she fell to the ground in utter pain from losing her mate.

Alice broke free and rushed towards her family... jumping into Jasper's arms.

Brea grabbed Edward's hand and squeezed it... letting him know it'll be okay.

Brea soon found herself running towards Aro... ignoring Edward's screams.

She stood just a few feet away from him and Jane..... she glared at both, watching them fall to their knees.... grabbing their heads and screaming in pain.

"How dare you kill him!!" Brea growled.

"Yes! Release it! Release all of your powers," Aro yelled.

Brea walked up to Jane and kneeled down in front of her... she stood to her feet and walked behind her, grabbing her by the arms and started pulling back.... ripping her arms off.

"You fool! How dare you," a familiar voice said.

Brea looked over her shoulder and saw Jane's brother....

"I'm sorry? Did you want me to do something else?" Brea asked.

She grabbed Jane by the hair.... having Jane look into her eyes. She placed her thumbs on her eye lids and pushed down, quickly popping Jane's eyes out.

Brea looked across the field... seeing her family just stand there.

"Edward? Why aren't you fighting?" She asked.

"You seem to be handling it by yourself," Edward replied.

"But I'm not! We are supposed to be doing this together," She growled.

"She's right, Edward! Carlisle would do the same... we must protect what's ours," Esme whispered.

Edward nodded.
