Meet your Match

BRI POV

I knew we were close; I was seeing things that were familiar to me. The pain in my chest getting a little less intense my body knowing it was closer to my imprint but at the same time, I was more nervous. I was jerked to a stop roughly, I knew we had arrived; not only could I smell the Cullen's, but I could smell the pack as well. Paul was here I could smell him and I could hear everyone who was giving me a headache. I was stuck in the back, everyone had come. The guard, Marcus, Aro, and Caius as well as their wives. I was stuck in the back right now with Brayden.

"I can't wait to kill him. I'm going to do it right in front of your face so you can watch as I slowly kill your brother and lover. I'm going to let you watch the life leave his eyes." He said in an evil tone.

"Ah, Isabella immortality becomes you." I looked up barley seeing Bella standing next to Edward. She did look good as a vampire. I saw Edward begin looking around as they slowly approached Aro. Jake and Emmett behind them, I noticed the small form of a child on Jacob's back. Was this the child, she looked like Edward and Bella but this couldn't be right. She was just born mere months ago; then I remembered the rapid progression of Bella's pregnancy.

"Aro she is no harm."

"I shall decide that, but other matters first. Brayden my child please come forward." Brayden pulled me roughly beside him as we walked towards Aro. I had a robe on and the hood was pulled up. I was jerked to a stop by Brayden roughly pulling me causing the hood to come off my head. For the first time, I looked up, scanning the area quickly stopping on Paul's wolf. I tried to move towards him when Brayden grabbed me spinning me around and pulling me against him his hand tightly gripping my throat. I heard Paul growl and looked at him.

"Brianna." I looked at Edward and Bella as they glanced at me. Worry and shock evident on their faces. I was fully aware I looked nothing like myself.

"Give her back."

"She is mine."

"You won't be told again," Aro said looking at him. Brayden then twisted me around to him.

PAUL POV

I watched for Brianna not once seeing her, but I could smell her. I finally watched as Brayden walked to the front of the group holding something by the arm. As he came to a stop roughly jerking the person to him the hood came off them and all of us gasped, except the newbies who had never met her.

"Bri." She locked eyes with me and it was then I noticed how much she had changed. Her hair hung past her shoulders although it was matted and the shine gone. She looked frail and sick, her beautiful curves damn near gone with how emaciated she looked. I growled when she moved and Brayden grabbed her holding her to him by the neck.

"She is mine." I heard him yell out.  After words were exchanged I saw him turn her sideways before he roughly grabbed her face kissing her. She brought her arm up hitting him to no avail. All he did was grab her arm and snap it before roughly tossing her as hard as he could.

"DON'T" I stopped as Sam's voice hit me, the alpha tone keeping me in place. I watched as She hit the ground bouncing before Emmett caught her before she was seriously hurt. The robe slightly coming off, I was shocked and sickened by what I saw before Emmett quickly covered her with the cloth. She wasn't wearing anything under the robe and she was skin and bones. I knew from the way she landed and the crack I heard that something else broke on her. I saw him bend down gently before lifting her in his arms. He looked up the same time Edward did towards the left. I then saw Alice come out of the shadows, where had she been. She and Jasper left weeks ago. They came to the line asking Sam to cross. She said something to them before standing in front of Aro as Emmett came running back. He bent down in front of me with my imprint in his arms, she wasn't moving, I only calmed myself when I heard her heart faintly beating.

"Do you want her on your back?" I didn't take my eyes off Brianna as I softly licked her face before nodding my head. I growled as Emmett touched her.

"I won't hurt her." He said placing her on my back as gently as he could. She felt like ice, she was colder than she normally was, she felt lighter too.
