(ANNA POV)

"Hi, Seth," Bella says as she comes out of the tent. Seth goes to help patrol. I go sit on a log.

"Where's Jacob? Did he already..." Bella asks Edward.

"Not yet. He's checking to see if the woods are clear before he goes," Edward answers.

"I'm really sorry about last night. It couldn't have been easy for you," Bella apologizes.

"It definitely won't make my list of top ten favorite evenings," Edward says and I mentally gag.

"You have a list?" Bella asks. I hear Jake coming back and know what Edward is doing.

"All ten I spent with you. Number one is when you said you'd marry me. Mrs. Cullen," Edward says.

"This is the twenty-first century, I always wanna hyphenate my name," Bella explains.

"You're marrying him?" Jake asks angrily.

"Jake... You knew he was listening?" Bella says accusing Edward.

"He deserves to know," Edward says and Jake had taken off. I go to check on Seth, but I can hear Bella chasing Jake.

"Jake, stop. Jake, stop. Jake, please," Bella yells after him. I get where I can see them but can't be seen myself. Jake stops.

"I'm done. I'm so done," Jake states.

"What can I do?" Bella asks.

"You can't do anything. I can. By going out there and killing something," Jake says angrily.

"No. You're not thinking clearly, don't do that," Bella says worriedly.

"Maybe I'll get myself killed and make it simple for you," Jake says and I almost whimpered at the thought of him dying.

"No. Just, Jake... Stay," Bella begs.

"Why? Give me one good reason," Jake states.

"Because I don't wanna lose you," Bella says.

"It's not good enough," Jake says.

"Because you're too important," Bella says not sure what can change his mind.

"Still not good enough," Jake says and begins to take off again.

"Jacob. Kiss me. I'm asking you to kiss me," Bella says and Jake kisses her. I get beyond angry and phase. It takes everything in me not to attack Bella. If she wasn't my sister I more than likely would.

"That should have been our first kiss," Jake says as they break apart. "I gotta go. I'll be back." Jake then leaves for the fight. I start pacing trying to burn off my anger. I stay in the woods near the campsite. Seth comes up to Edward and Bella.

"It's starting. Jacob just got there. He's good," Edward explains before going stiff. I smell vampires that are close. One of them is Victoria.

"Someone's hurt?" Bella asks.

"She's close. I can hear her thoughts. Seth, go. She knew we weren't there, but she caught my scent. She knew you'd be with me. She found us. She's not alone," Edward explains as Seth goes to hide. "Riley... Listen to me. Victoria's just using you, to distract me. But she knows I'll kill you. In fact, she'll be glad she doesn't have to deal with you anymore." This makes Riley freeze.

"Don't listen, Riley. I told you about their mind tricks," Victoria says. "I can read her mind, so I know what she thinks of you," Edward explains.

"He's lying," Victoria says.

"She only created you and this army to avenge her true mate, James. It's the only thing she cares about. Not you," Edward says and Riley looks toward Victoria.

"There's only you. You know that," Victoria says.

"Think about it. You're from Forks, you know the area. That's the only reason she chose you. She doesn't love you," Edward tries again.

"Riley... Don't let him do this to us. You know I love you," Victoria says.

"You're dead," Riley says.

"Seth, I got the first blow," I think to Seth. Riley runs toward Bella and Edward. I jump out and shove him out of the way letting Seth get him. Victoria sees us and starts to run away.

"You won't get another chance like this again. You want her. You want me to feel the pain you felt when I killed James. When I tore him to pieces. When I turned him into ash. When I turned him into nothing," Edward says making Victoria stop. She turns and starts fighting Edward.

"Victoria. Victoria," Riley call for Victoria. Seth kills him. Edward kills Victoria. I start heading to the fight. The fight is over when I get to the bottom of the mountain.
