Mary managed to look apologetic in the doctor's arms, as though his third rule still applied.

"Good going, Carlisle." Edward was extremely proud of himself and was having a grand time crushing Jasper onto the ground with his elbow.

"Carlisle," he pleaded from his completely uncomfortable position, "please don't hurt her... she's innocent."

The older vampire looked practically unrecognizable with his blonde hair and pale skin riddled with human blood. An unstable smile stained his handsome face. "Oh I know she is, son. So innocent that this whole family had to go down for her so that this ungrateful bastard that we took in could keep his conscience clean." Mary whimpered as he applied more pressure to her neck and it began to crack.

   Jasper's struggle became more feral as those sounds reached him.

And then the weight off his back lifted at the same time that a growl ripped through the tunnel. As he watched, large canine teeth closed around Carlisle's throat and his 'father''s head once again fell to the ground.

   "What the-" Edward gripped his head as a pale hand gripped his shoulder.

"Good thing you can't read my mind." Bella's smile was grim as he collapsed to the ground and began to writhe. "Now she has a place to stay until I can put her to rest."

   Jasper got to his feet slowly, his eyes on his brother. Then he looked at the girl he considered his sister. "Real lucky you got here in time."

   Bella's eyes wandered to her actual sister. "Yeah, real lucky."

   He looked at his girl and she waggled her eyebrows at him playfully. So it had all been planned to a perfect T.

   She ran into his arms and grinned up at him. "We've got two minutes to vacate this area. Might not be able to fight yet, but I sure as hell can help out with the small things."

   "Well darlin', let's get the others and hightail it out." He swung her once in a tiny celebration before shoving open the door of the detainment cell. His family, all varying degrees of rugged, looked up at him. Rosalie was flatout mean-mugging it. "Your bail's been sprung." He tipped an imaginary hat their way, still so happy not to be hanging up in a cell with the world in shambles around them.

   "Bout fucking time." Rose snarked, sashaying out of the cell as though she hadn't been detained in a cell for days. A grinning Emmett strode out behind her.

   That left Esme. Dark shadows crept under her face and made the lovely features stretched into a sadder rendition of the woman that he'd grown to love and respect as much as he had his own mother. She got stiffly up before running into his arms, startling him.

"Thank God you're safe." Low sobs ran from her body into his much larger one. She clutched at the back of his shirt in an unusually desperate grip. "When they took you... I thought another one of my family members was gone."

   He rubbed her back soothingly. "I'm here." He reassured, not doing the best of jobs to hide his surprise. "We need to get out of here now though."

Edward still sat on the stone floor, flexing his hands. "I think I've got the hang of this body now." He told a hovering Bella. A familiar Southern accent hung on to his normally stiff cadence.

"Luca?" Jasper asked incredulously, even as he simultaneously arranged his family members in a suitable arrangement.

Red eyes gazed at him in boredom at the same time that Bella promised to explain at a later time.
