Twilight Reimagined (Vampire Swap)

Chapter twenty:Mixed POV:Guilt

Guys, I have really sad news. . .We have this chapter, and epilougue, ans then an outtro. That's it 😭😭😭 I do have an idea for an add on, tho

I wiped my chin, my mind making me think I had a bit of Jaguar blood dribbling down it, though there was none, and straightened up from my possessive crouch over the fresh carcass. I have to admit, Jaguar blood had to be one of my favorites.

My mind switched gears to Edward, and I was thankful to see Alice run up to me, hoping she could distract me, until I saw her facial expression. "What's wrong?" I asked, anxiety tightening my voice like the strings of a finely tuned violin.

"It's Edward." Alice claimed, her voice just as tensed as mine. "I'm sorry, Bella." She choked on the words as they came out.

I snarled, lunging to the edge of the small, wildlife filled island we traveled to to hunt. When I hit the water, effortlessly running fast enough to glide over it, the other had joined me. "Alice what do you see?" Carlisle asked, his tone still calm, though the edge of concern was hard to miss.

"It was clouded by indecision." Alice defended herself. "Jinyu scoped out Demetri, asking about our whereabouts. He didn't make a decision for a few days, and acted on the decision he made so quickly it hardly registered in my mind. Jinyu has been indecisive as well, striking quickly." Her pained gaze flitted over to me, and my heart plummeted, leaving my body to drown in the ocean beneath me.

"We may not make it." Alice breathed, her voice dying halfway through the sentence. I growled, somehow pushing myself farther, using my leg strength to lengthen my lunges.

I nearly cried in relief as the soft white sand of Isle Esme caressed my still bare feet, the soft wind appearing harsher as I cut through it, the leaves brushing against my arms as I desperately ran through the evergreen tropics. I inhaled deeply, tasting Edward's scent, fear and confusion on my tongue.

And I broke through the tall palm trees and suddenly couldn't run. I snarled in horror, anger and shock as I saw Jinyu biting into my Edward. Mellan and Lee were nowhere to be found, and I didn't even have time to cry in relief at that miracle, not that Emmett would have any trouble scaring them off.

I lunged for Jinyu, who was too absorbed in Edward's blood slowly trickling into her mouth to notice me. Carefully and with a vampire's speed and precision, I clung to Jinyu's back, grabbing her jaw and nose, using my grips to pull her teeth away. Her growl vibrated through her, and I was on my back in an instant.

Jinyu lifted a hand up, preparing to scratch my face, but I grabbed her wrist and used my legs-still pressing forcefully on her waist, to flip us over. I wasted no time, biting into Jinyu's throat and creating the start of a crack. I pulled away, using my hands to finish popping her head off.

I looked up, seeing Emmett and Jasper take care of two drenched, sea-salt smelling vampires and Alice and Rosalie quickly creating the makings of a bonfire. My eyes landed on Edward, who was lying on the sand with his body tenses, flinching occasionally in agony. "No." I breathed as everything washed over me. I sprang towards my love, shivering in revulsion at what I caused.

Carlisle knelt besides me, pulling me into a tight hug, and I shivered in revulsion towards myself and the coven we just ripped apart. Esme came and hugged me, as well, and the sweet scent of burning vampires filled the air. I struggled and my parents released me. Edward's skin was still warm and soft, human, as my hands cradled his gorgeous face. "Edward?" I softly mumbled, breathing in relief when he groaned, his eyes opening a bit. "Edward, please open your eyes fully." I softly commanded.

"Bella." The tender way he said my name, almost like a caress, made me shake with dry sobs. I curled up frantically against his body, my head laying over his heartbeat. "I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry." I replied over and over again.
