Isabella's POV:

I stared down at Liam's unmoving body, tears flowing from my eyes as I grit my teeth together. "Liam!" I cry out, but know that he wasn't going to answer me anymore.

This war...it's already just started but it's caused so many lives to be lost, and some of them were my friends. King Edward would've been killed if it hadn't been for Liam. But even though Liam saved him, his life was the price for that. "This is enough." I whisper and I wipe my eyes, trying to stop myself from crying.

It's only been a day, only one day, and over 300 people have died. Everyone was fighting around me, but I couldn't bring myself to fight anymore. No one even seemed to notice me as I numbly walked around, tears running down my face.

I had now moved away from Liam's body, but I felt as if my legs would give out on me at any moment. Most of my father's men had died, and half of the Royal Guard has died as well.

Rob had started to fight my father, who was now having to fight since so many men of his were lost, angry at what the palace has become. It's become a bloodbath. Bodies were lying everywhere, there were small fires going on even through the rain and blood made the entire place reek.

It looked like a horror movie scene. People fighting people, killing each other while innocent blood is shed. Blood that could've been spared....like Liam's.

Harry was fighting with another man, rage in his eyes over his fallen comrade. He even had a few tears falling from his eyes, just because of Liam's loss. Louis, Zayn and Niall were all fighting just as viciously, avenging Liam's death to the fullest.

I looked around, seeing everyone engaged in battle, some winning and others losing, meeting their end at this stupid war. No one was going to survive this way.

As the fight continued on, I sunk to my knees, crying. "Stop. Please, stop!" I cry but they don't listen. Rob continues to fight my father, the battle even. My father has the same crazed look in his eye, laughing maniacally while fighting Rob.

I've seen too many deaths with this war, and I couldn't bear to see another one. I've already seen my friend die, I don't need to see another one. "Bella, you've got to get out of there!" Harry says from where he's fighting, but I can't bring myself to move. I feel numb.

I look up and see my father knock Rob to the ground. I let out a scream of terror as he plunges the sword into Rob's chest, blood spurting out. "NO!!" I scream again, my eyes wide as I stare at Rob's dead body, and my father looks up at me, a deranged smile on his face.

This is not my father. It can't be. My father wouldn't let his ambitions go this far...would he?

My father staggers over to me, my eyes wide and my body shaking. "My dear, dear daughter. I was just trying to make you have a good future. Why wouldn't you listen to me?" he says before bringing the sword up again. I flinch away from him, but look up at him slowly as he still has the crazed look on his face.

"I won't kill you, but I do know the reaction it will cause out of that pirate. I've finally realized it, Isabella." He says, his crazed smile faltering some as tears came to his eyes, falling down his cheek slowly.

"I've really screwed things up, haven't I? I've gone too far this time, didn't I?" he asks and I find tears falling down my cheeks. Whenever I realize what he's doing, I start shaking my head. "Daddy, don't! Don't do this." I beg and he just smiles at me.

His body is shaking horribly and he's unstable. This is how I know that he doesn't mean any of this. He can't mean any of this. He's my father!! He's not evil!!! He...he's my daddy!!
