Twilight: Eternal Fight {Completed}

Chapter 8. Promise Me

Bella.

I've been running through the woods for who knows how long. I was angry I could feel it in my cold dead veins. But I didn't know what I was so angry about. I didn't realize that I had just snapped at my Edward. He didn't deserve that. I was just so angry and scared for my family, and it just somehow took over me. It felt as if I was running from something, but I didn't know what.

I didn't know what to do. I mean, all I'm doing is just causing more and more pain to my family. Maybe Tanya was right...maybe I should just leave, but how could I. I have no where else to go. I could never leave my family, but it's for their safety. They'll die because of me. They're risking their lives because of me. Everything I do will now affect their lives.

Maybe it is best of I just leave. I can leave and never come back just like Tanya told me to do. But what about Edward? What about Renesmee? I can't live without them. But I promised myself that I would never put them in danger, and it looks like I'm breaking that promise. I know that I could never leave them, but part of me wants to. I mean if I do, no one would get hurt. No one will be at risk because of me.

But then again, what if they still get hurt even if I were to leave? That would be because of me too. No matter what people will get hurt because of my decisions. The only person I'm focusing on is hurting Edward. We both promised that we would stick together no matter what happens, but what about his safety? What about mine?

I'm mean, I could care less if I die or not because it's for my family. If I were to die, they'll be safe. Sure they'll be hurt, and maybe broken but I'll be doing this for them. I honestly don't know what to do about whether or not I should leave or not. I want to leave to keep them safe, but I don't want to leave my family and most importantly Edward.

It would kill him if I left. He would go numb again just like he did when I left before. It would kill me as much as it would kill him which is why I can't leave. I can't leave him even if we could be at risk. But then again, were more powerful than Tanya now...according to Cassie.

So how could I possibly leave? How could I possibly leave my family and the one person I truly love with all of my heart? I can't leave. If I did, then I would be weak. In Tanya's eyes she'll see that she defeated me. She'll come back for Edward, and when she does, I'll be ready. She's not getting him even if I have to die in the end.

I would die for him. If it meant that he'll be safe, I'll die for him. Him and my family. I would put myself at risk just for their sake. I owe them that much. They've been my family for a long time. I've never met a family like theirs. I've never seen so much love contained in one family. They took me in, and now I own them. I owe them my life.

When it comes down to that fight, I'll die for them...all of them. If people die, it'll be because of me. I'll hurt more people since I was the cause of this. I could already feel half of my world start to slip away from me. That was only because of the fight. When the time comes, I'll end this once and for all. I don't care if I die. I only care about my family and my lover. I'll die thinking about them, and no matter what, they'll always be my family.

•Twilight: Eternal Fight•

I went back to the cottage once I had calmed down. I regret everything I had said to Edward...I mean I yelled at him. I could see the shock in his eyes as I yelled at him to mind his own business. I don't know what had come over me. I knew that I was different. All of this made me feel dark inside. Like there was someone else inside me rather than the other Bella I had once knew.

I entered the house and was immediately crushed in a hug from Edward. I returned the tight hug even if I wasn't gone for that long. I knew I hurt him with my words, but I think he knew why. All of this is just too much for us to handle now. We have to focus on not only our family, but what is coming after us. We have to train with more vampires, we have to learn how to master our new powers without anyone knowing, and we have to just stay together.

"Bella...where were you? Are you alright?" I smiled at Edward's worried questions and I gently caressed his cheek.

"I'm fine...I promise...I just needed to clear my head again," I wrapped my arms around his neck and made him look down at me.

"Well I'm glad you did...I was almost positive that you were going to destroy the place," he let out a small chuckle before I cut him off by pressing my lips to his.

"I wouldn't be the only one to destroy the place," I smirked while placing one of my hands on his chest.

"You know you're going to be the death of me right?" He laughed and I nodded while pulling away from him.

"Oh I know...that's why you love me," I laughed and gave him a devious smile.

"Now that is very true," he said while pulling me back into his arms.

"I love you," I whispered while looking deeply into his golden eyes.

"And I love you too...forever and always," he said with a crooked grin and gently pressed his lips against mine.

"Forever and always," I repeated and attached my lips to his as he lifted me up in his arms.

Yeah...I'll be alright...I hope. I just need Edward by my side in order to be alright.
