3rd Person POV

As James goes flying through the mirror Edward rushes to Bella's aid. He felt bad with what he was about to do but right now his priority was getting Bella to safety even if it meant sacrificing her sister and Jasper's mate.

With apologies he picks Bella up bridal style and goes to make a leap for it to escape through the perch, which overlooked the studio and led to what would have been the dance instructors office. However as he jumped a grip of steel catches his leg yanking him back and throwing him and Bella towards the glass shards which had just been scattered.

Bella and Edward roll along the floor, Edward grunting while Bella screams in pain as glass sticks into her leg. She pulls the shard out as Edward gets up to attack James only to be tossed into one of the ceiling windows. More glass rains down as he is momentarily incapacitated.

James walks up to Bella as she lays on the floor grasping at her leg which seems to be losing a lot of blood and fast. Meanwhile over in the chair flinching at the sounds around her; Y/n struggles to free her hands, tugging, pulling and bashing at her restraints in futile attempts. She even tries to use her teeth to pull the knife from her shoulder but that only results in her cutting her cheek.

With a menacing smirk from James and a frightened looking Bella, the blonde man takes her wrists and is quick to bite down on it. Edward quickly recovers seeing the man feeding on his mate. A fire lights in him as anger and pure animalistic rage takes over.

Edward growls tackling James off the girl with such force they slide across the wooden floor leaving a trail of broken floorboards. They zip past Y/n and crash into a nearby pillar causing cracks to run up it and small bits of debris to fall from the ceiling above the girl in the chair.

Bella writhes in pain on the floor, Y/n sits helpless to do anything and Edward growls in an animalistic way as he pins James to the pillar causing more debris to fall on the blind girl.

Edward tosses James, aiming for a wall across the hall to slam him into. The man however, expertly does a somersault landing in his feet and tries to run away. But like James said, Edward is fast and quickly leaps to pin the man against another glass mirror holding him by the neck with both hands a few feet off the floor.

They both growl and snap their teeth at each other asserting their dominance but in the end Edward stays true to his word and clamps down on the man's neck ripping his throat out. James howls in pain as Bella's rapid gasps are heard alongside them.

The cavalry arrives.

Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper, Henry and Alice jump down from the perch. Carlisle, faster than the others, is the first down and placing a hand on his son's shoulder. The minute his eyes lock with Edward's, all he sees is pure animalistic rage.

"Son!" He says in warning as Edward turns back to finish James off. "Enough." Henry and Emmett are quick to stand either side of James taking both of his arms ready to finish the job of destroying him.

Jasper has his own priorities as he heads straight to the tied up girl still struggling to pull her hands free from her restraints. Her attempts faltered when she heard someone approach all of a sudden.

Her head darts around.

"I'm here." Jasper whispers kneeling in front of her. He sees the knife in her arm, the cuts and bruises to her face and wrists. He can feel his own anger boiling.

None of that matters when the girl flinches at his touch.

"Hey, it's just me." He reassures as he starts to untie her. He notes the sniffles coming from the girl as he works fast to free her from her binds and help her stand. When she does she quick to throw herself into his chest hugging him tightly.

Jasper freezes at the sudden display of affection but more so at the fact that she's got blood dripping from wounds. It was taking everything in him not to jumper her here and now.

Feeling the turmoil in her emotion though helps him concentrate on something else. He hugs back and begins to calm her down using his gifts. The girl still had the knife in her shoulder which disturbs Jasper.

"Come, we should get Carlisle to look at you." He says taking her hand but she pulls on him, stopping him from moving. Her face seems conflicted as she hesitates to move.

"What's wrong?" He asks.

"Is it true?" She asks, confusing the boy.

"What?" He counters.

"Is it true you and your family are vampires?" She asks again, causing Jasper to pale even more. He knew she'd have questions about this situation. He had hoped to keep her in the dark and spare her this ugly world he lives in.

But she's found out, and like Edward he knew she was always gonna be stuck in it from now on.

"Yes." Was all he had to say before the girl latches on to him once again.

"That's all I needed to know." She says pulling away and holding her hand out for Jasper. The boy was riddled with confusion as he took her hand, guiding her over to where her sister laid on the floor.

While the pair were conversing James had already been ripped apart by Henry, Alice and Emmett and set alight using torn up floorboards and fire starters.

Bella who was writhing in pain still, had torn her femoral artery in her leg so Carlisle had Alice make a tourniquet out of her belt.

As they approached they could hear Carlisle convincing Edward to suck the venom out of Bella's wrist or else she'd turn?

"We could try to suck the venom out." Carlisle suggests.

"You know I won't be able to stop." Edward growls staring intensely at Bella writhing in pain. Jasper helps lower Y/n on the other side Bella to her knee. She searches for Bella's hand, taking it worriedly in hers.

"Then find the will to stop. But choose. She only has minutes left." Carlisle argues, pushing the boy to make his decision.

"Edward please." Y/n voice pleads. "It's my fault she was here. If there's a way to save her, do it."

"I'm gonna make it go away, Bella." Edward says, hearing her sister's words. "I'm gonna make it go away." He reassures as he takes her other hand in his and brings her wrists to his lips.

Bella grips Y/n hands as her grunts begin to subside. Relief washes over Y/n's face at the sound of her sister's pained gasps diminishing.

"Edward, stop. Her blood is clean. You're killing her. Edward. Stop. Stop." Carlisle tries to pull Edward away but it seems the taste of his mates blood is far too powerful.

"Edward, please, find the will." Y/n begs once again. Her soft voice lulled Edward to pull away. Bella was now passed out barely alive but still breathing. Y/n sat knife still in her shoulder being relieved Edward had saved her sister.
