Eye Of The Tiger

Chapter 103

After the wolves and Bella destroyed what they could of the burning buildings and made sure all the vampire parts were taken care of the group decided to do their debriefing at the Cullen's house so they weren't around when the authorities came to eventually check out the fires as they were becoming more visible from farther away. On the car ride home Rosalie decided to let Jasper drive her car back so that she could sit in the back seat with Bella. Even though Alice was in the passenger seat Rosalie wanted some quiet time with her mate before they were thrust back into the real world.

Rosalie snuggled closer into Bella's side almost laying on top of her. She promised herself that when she got a chance she would buy a bigger car so they would have room in the back seat for better access to Bella's body should the need arise. The steady thump of Bella's heart against her ear made her feel like for the first time since she met Bella she could actually take a breath and enjoy her mate without worry of immediate danger. Yes, the volturi were still a problem but they liked to make grand gestures and would let them know when they decided to make a move against the Cullens. She hadn't realized until this moment that not knowing what Edward was going to do was causing her more stress than she had originally thought.

His hatred of her mate had started the moment she saw Bella so the two became intertwined. With her love of Bella was Edwards hatred and plotting. He almost had equal parts in their relationship without Rosalie even knowing. Now that he was gone she could feel her love for Bella without the feeling of fear always in the background of her mind. She didn't think it possible but Rosalie finally felt secure in the bond. The irrational fear of losing her mate or Bella choosing someone else and leaving her melted away the second she saw the last of Edward's body turn to ash. She had never had the chance to actually love Bella completely and relax in her bond fearing the unknown from the moment she laid eyes on Bella.

"What are you thinking about?" Bella asked.

Rosalie sighed. "Just how much I love you."

Bella kissed the top of her head. "I love you too."

"I'm also thinking about that isolated cabin in the woods you told me about." Rosalie said with a chuckle.

"I think with how incredible you were today you deserve a vacation to that cabin.I'll call Gene when we get home." Bella told her.

Rosalie pulled back to look at Bella. "You mean it? We can go away for a few days?"

Bella gave her a gentle kiss. "If my lady wishes to go away then who am I to deny her?"

Rosalie laughed. "Thank you sweetheart."

"We can't have you being the only half gentleman in this relationship." Bella told her.

Pulling up to the Cullen's home they all made their way to the living room along with the rest of the group. Sitting down next to Bella on the sofa with Alice next to her Rosalie took a look at the group. Minus some dirt, singe marks and ripped clothes, no one seemed injured and Alice's arm had healed just fine. Noticing that Sam was the only wolf there Rosalie figured he sent the rest of them home to see their families and report to the elders.

"Alight, as I'm sure everyone wants to clean up and Sam needs to get home and speak to his tribe, let's go over everything that happened.Sam you go first." Bella said.

"Thank you white tiger. We followed your instructions and stayed in the area you wanted us. Four vampires made their way to us and we easily dispatched them. We then cornered Edward until you came and dragged him away. After that we patrolled and you know the rest as we helped you deal with the fires and collecting the remaining body parts making sure everything burned. We had no injuries or death." Sam stated mater of factly.

"That's good to hear. Why don't you go home now, you more than earned your rest." Bella told him. "Please let your people know of how much I appreciate all the help you have given and that I will come to visit soon."

"It was our honor to stand beside you white tiger." Sam said as he made his way to the door.

Bella looked around the room. "How did you guys manage?"

"We didn't have to do a thing. The tornado of death took care of everything." Bella gave Emmett a confused look as he explained. "Rosalie was a killing machine. One second we were fighting a group of about 25 vampires the next, one takes Alice's arm and then Rosalie is a blur and all we could see were body parts flying. We all just stepped as far back as we could to get out of the way."

"I'm fine." Alice promised seeing the concerned looks from the group. "Rosalie saved me."

"Yeah, she punched a vampire right through the eye socket. Her hand came out the other side and brains flew all over the place." Emmett told them excitedly.

"You were able to break a vampire's skull open with a single punch?" Carlisle asked going wide eyed when Rosalie nodded. "I've never seen or heard of such a thing being possible. Our skulls are the toughest parts of our body. The strength alone to do that is incredible and to not be left with a splintered hand or missing fingers. Did you do anything other than punch them first."

"No, I was just really pissed off." Rosalie told him.

Alice hugged Rosalie's side. "She saw I was in danger and panicked. Proving that she does love me. Even if she can't admit it."

Rosalie rolled her eyes. "More like I respect Jasper to much to let him lose his mate."

Alice kissed Rosalie's cheek. "I don't care what you say. You love me and didn't want me to die."

Rosalie pushed Alice off of her. "You can believe what you want. I know the truth. It was like I told you, no one is going to kill you but me. As a matter of fact now that Edward and his army of pansy vampires are taken care of I may just focus my attention on doing just that."

"Anyway." Jasper said interrupting the discussion of killing his wife. "All vampires were destroyed in the barn, how about the house?"

"There were only about ten of them in the house. We quickly dispatched them and Bella took off after Edward. We met with you in the barn right after lighting the house on fire." Charolette told them.

Bella stood up."So now we have dealt with the immediate danger that was Edward, I think we are going to get cleaned up and get some rest. Thank you everyone for all the help dealing with this threat. We couldn't have won today without all of you."

"White tiger a word please?" Victoria asked as everyone started making their way out of the room.

"Of course." Bella said motioning for her to follow them to the kitchen so she could get some food."What do you need?"

"Well now that James and Laurent are taken care of I wish to go out on my have done me a great favor but being around you and your mate cause me a great deal of pain because of my gift." Victoria explained.

Bella gave her a smile. "I told you you could stay with us and could go when you wish. I meant it. Do you need anything from us to help you get set up for your new life?"

"No, I am alright. James wasn't interested in anything other than the hunt and left it to me to deal with mortal problems as he called them so I have access to money and a couple properties." Victoria told them.

"I wish you well and want you to know that should you ever need anything, anything at all I want you to call myself or Rosalie." Bella said.

"Thank you white tiger. I am going to clean up and be on my way."

Rosalie finished putting together a plate full of sandwiches. "Can you eat these in our room?"

Bella gave Rosalie a kiss."Of course sweetheart."

"Good because we both need a good scrubbing and I want some time to ourselves before the world interrupts us again." Rosalie said leading the way to their bedroom Bella following behind her.
