Just a Little Mental

The Battle

          Waking up I notice it's just Bella and myself in the tent. "Bella." I whisper pushing onto her shoulder. "Bella wake up." I say a bit louder. She finally opens her eyes letting out a groan. "Ugh what time is is?" She asks. "I don't know Emmett made me leave my phone at his house, but it's morning." I say sitting up and looking at the slightly open tent zipper. "Okay, well let's get ready and then we can go find Emmet and Edward." Bela suggests rolling over and getting up. I nod my head silently and grab the extra pair of clothes. I quickly change

After Bella and I finish getting dressed we send each other a glance and head outside the tent. Walking out I am immediately hit by the cold air. I feel a shiver go down my back and let out a shaky breathe. "Are you okay?" Emmett asks coming towards me. "Y-yeah, I'm fine, just a bit cold." I say offering a small smile. "Here, I won't need it." Emmett takes his hoodie off and puts it on my body. I put my arms through the holes and let out a sigh. "So warm." I say. I look up to Emmett and see him smiling. "You're so beautiful." He says looking at me with love in his eyes. We stare at each other for what feels like hours before Emmett finally leans down and places his lips upon mine in a kiss. "Don't." "You." "Need." To." "Go?" I ask between kisses. He lets out a hefty sigh and rests his head upon mine. "Yeah, I promise to be back, I love you." He whispers taking my hands in his. "I love you to." I whisper. He lets go of my hands and starts running away. "Stay safe!" I yell after him a small frown on my face knowing that this could've been the last time I saw him.

I walk back to where Bella was only to find a pained Edward. "What's wrong Eddy?" I ask. He looks at me a hint of saddness in his eyes. "Bella...She loves Jacob." He says softly. I wrap him into a hug which he hesitantly returns. "But she loves you more." I tell him sincerely pulling away and standing next to him. We stand in silence for a few seconds before his face contorts in confusion. "What is it?" I ask. "It's Paul, he's on his way over here to talk to you...He seems agitated." I silently sigh. "He knows." I quickly turn to look at Edward. "How?!?" "Emmett he was talking to Alice and Rose...Paul over heard." I silently curse in my head and frown. "Aria?" 'Oh no.' I turn around only to be met by Paul's emotion filled face. "Paul..." "How could you?" He whispers coming towards me. "Paul, look I lo-" "Don't say it Aria! Save it!" He yells anger showing clear on his features. He turns and walks away. I suck in a breath and run after him.

"Paul! Paul stop!" I call for the fifth time. He finally listens and stops keeping his back towards me. "Please look at me." I plead. He slowly turns around his face red and eyes slightly puffy. "Paul, I didn't want you to find out this way..." "Then how were you going to tell me that you're marrying that bloodsucker?" He asks harshly. "Paul, I'm sorry but I love him." I say. "Fine, I guess you don't need me. Maybe I should just go and get killed, let you be free of me." He says turning back around and looking towards the horizon. "Paul please don't." I plead my voice cracking. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't?" "Because I need you." I say close to tears. "Not good enough." He says. "Kiss me." He turns around and looks at me wide eyed. "What?" "I'm asking you to kiss me." I say silently cursing in my head. Paul walks up to me placing his lips on mine. He grabs my waist bringing me closer to him. After a few seconds we pull away. "That should've been our first kiss." He whispers his hands still resting on my hips. We hear a howl and he steps away. "I've got to go, I'll be back...I promise." Nodding I watch him run off towards the battle.

I quickly make my way back to Edward and Bella. "You love him too?" Edward asks. "Only as a brother, I didn't know what to do to make him stay." I say honestly. "Emmett will forgive you." "I hope so." I breathe out walking next to Bella. She takes my hand in hers and gives it a small squeeze. "Jacob and Paul just arrived." Bella and I suck in our breathes. "They're good." Edward finishes. I let a small smile come onto my face. Suddenly Edward froze. "Get behind me. Aria get your shield up." Edward commands tensely. We quickly fall behind him tense. "Riley she's using you." Edward states. A few seconds later I see a boy in his late teens come out. "Don't listen to him, I told you about his mind tricks." Bella and I quickly turn and see a red headed women. "Riley, think about it, why would she choose you? Because you're from Seattle, you know the area. I can read her mind, she hopes that I'll kill you, she wants to rid of you. She'll be happy that you're gone so she doesn't have to deal with you. She just want revenge for her true mate...James." Riley looks towards the red head waiting for a response. "You know that's not true. I love you, only you." She says quickly her eyes turning worried. Riley turns and looks at Edward an evil look on his face. "you're dead." He whispers. Next thing I know Edward's fighting off Riley and Victoria. Seth tries to help but gets knocked across the field. Edward knocks Victoria down only for her to get back up. Her and Riley end up getting Edward in a headlock and are about to rip his head off. Bella and I quickly look around for something. Bella finds a sharp rock and slices her arm then mine. All heads turn towards us. Victoria and Riley get ready to pounce but Edward throws Riley to Seth who takes his arm clean off. "Victoria!" He screams getting knocked down and pinned by Seth. "Victoria!" He tries again. Victoria looks at him and shakes her head before attempting to make an escape. "You won't get another chance like this!" Edward calls halting Victoria in her tracks. "You want her! You want me to feel the pain you felt when I killed him!" "When I ripped him to pieces!" "When I turned him to dust." Edward says. I hear a loud growl before a blur of red comes straight towards us. Quickly I put up my shield making her bounce back falling into a tree. She comes back and I use my powers to throw her back and pin her to the tree. Edward quickly rushes over and tears a piece of flesh from her neck before killing her. I let everything drop and fall to the ground. "Aria?!?" I hear Bella call but I pass out unable to answer.

Third Person's POV

Bella falls down next to her sister checking her pulse. She lets out a sigh of relief finding one. Edward walks towards the two no emotion on his face. He takes his fiancee's shirt and rip two pieces off wrapping hers and the sleeping girls wounds. "Come on, it's over." He whispers picking Aria up bridal style and carrying her to the field.

Everyone looks in shock at the passed out and bloody girl. "Aria!?!" Emmett yells rushing towards her limp body and taking her into his arms. "What happened?!?" The giant vampire asks staring down at his mate in worry. "Victoria and Riley happened." Edward says wrapping his arm around Bella's waist and pulling her close. "She used a lot of power to keep me safe and help Edward kill Victoria." Bella finishes looking at her sister with regret. Suddenly a loud growling sounds. Every turns and watches as a newborn rushes towards the group angered and crazed by the scent of blood. A certain female wolf goes to attack it. "Leah no!" Jake yells rushing after her. The newborn gets it's hands on Jake's wolf squeezing his body. Everyone winces at the sounds of cracking and other wolves rush to kill the newborn. "Argh." A loud groaning sounds and Jake hits the ground. "Take him to Billy's, we'll meet you there." Carlisle orders. All of the wolves nods and make their way to their injured friend. They all gingerly pick him up and carry him out. his loud groaning still ringing in the clearing. "Emmett get Aria out of the clearing it's not safe for her when they get here." Emmett nods and zooms out of the clearing holding his precious mate close to him.
