Kiss Or Kill

Chapter 41

Previous Chp:

"Ok, so what happened?" Bella asked as they all gathered in the living room

"Well," Sam started

"Just as we were getting ready to burn the pieces, we caught a whiff of more scents." Sam said

"She brought more vamps with her?" Bella asked

"Uh, not exactly." Embry replied

"What do you mean not exactly?"

Paul heaved a sigh and Bella turned her attention to him,

"What are they talking about?"

"The scents weren't exactly unfamiliar." Paul said

"Will you guys quit being so vague and just tell me what happened!" She shouted

"It was the Cullen's." Paul answered

Bella's mouth opened and closed several times, incoherent babble spilling from her lips.

"The Cullen's? All of them?" She finally asked

The guys nodded their heads.

"So what happened? Did you guys get in a fight with them?"

"Well the mind reading one saw flashes of you in our minds; then he filtered through Paul's thoughts and saw, well I'm sure you can guess what he saw." Sam explained

"And he attacked you guys?" She asked

Once again, the pack nodded their heads.

Bella's face grew red, and she balled her fist so tightly that her nails broke the skin of her palms.

"HOW DARE HE!" She shouted

The pack jumped, having not expected such an outburst, and then watched as Bella paced back in forth.

"He's the one who left me, and in the woods no less! Seriously who does that? Anyway, what right does he have to come here and attack you," She said pointing her finger at Paul "because of what he saw in your mind. And then there's the treaty, how stupid does he have to be to attack you on your own land? Did he not realize that it would be within your rights to kill him? Did his family even try to stop him?"

"They did." Sam answered

Bella paced back and forth some forth, seething and muttering about stupid virgin vampires.

Once she had calmed down, a little bit, she turned back to the pack and demanded more explanations.

"So what happened after he attacked you?" She asked

"Well, naturally we fought back. And I suppose his family thought it was a little unfair to have six against one so they decided to help him out."

"Wait a minute….. Are you telling me that the rest of the Cullen's helped Edward to attack you guys?"

"Yes." Sam replied

"Well judging by the fact that you're all here and none of you seemed to be injured, I'm guessing you guys won."

It was Quil, who nodded enthusiastically,

"It was awesome!"

"So did you toss them in the fire too?" She asked

"No." Sam answered

"Uh, why not?" She asked, turning to stare at Sam as if he was the biggest idiot ever

"Dr. Cullen realized that they weren't going to win and that if he didn't do something than his entire family would be roasting in the fire; so he called for them to stop." Sam explained
