The Cullens didn't know if they were more shocked that Edward attacked Bella or that he cursed.
His right hand grabbed her by the throat, pushing her through the wall and pinning her against a tree outside.
The other Cullens zoomed after them, calling out for him to stop.
"I can't believe it was all a lie," hissed Edward.
"Believe it," sneered Bella, seeing a momentary flash of Victoria's image superseding his own, a distasteful reminder of her weak past. Taking hold of his arm, she forced him to let go, fingers digging into his hardened flesh, twisting it painfully away, making him fall to his knees with a grunt, and then kicking him hard, his body sliding back several feet, smacking against the side of the house, half his right arm still in her hand.
"Edward!" cried Alice, running to his side.
"Edward, Bella, what's going on?" questioned Carlisle calmly.
Edward scowled, climbing back to his feet with Alice's help, "She used us. She never cared about any of us; all she wanted was for us to turn her, but that's not the worst of it. She made a deal with the wolves, they're coming."
"How do you know?" asked Emmett, still willing to give Bella the benefit of the doubt.
"I can read her now," said Edward as all eyes turned towards her, "And to think I was foolish enough to believe you were special, I won't be making that mistake again."
She wasn't surprised, Dean had warned her this could happen.
"Do you ever shut up, god, you are the most insufferable controlling little shit I've ever had the displeasure of knowing, I should win a fucking oscar for putting up with your crap for as long as I did," said Bella irritably, dropping his arm like hot garbage.
"You would betray us like this, after everything we did for you?" asked a heartbroken Alice.
"Do you mean when you treated me like your favorite dress-up doll, or do you mean like some pet to use and throw away when convenient?" Bella scoffed.
Esme was decent enough to look ashamed at her words, the rest looked at her with hurt, hateful eyes at her supposed betrayal.
Surprisingly, Rosalie was the only one to be genuinely impressed by her and couldn't find it in her heart to hate her.
Suddenly, Jasper spoke, "We should kill her before the wolves arrive."
Bella grinned, "Knew I could count on you to make this fun, but I'm afraid playtime is over," she said, and then they heard the distinct sounds of giant wolves running towards them from all sides.
"This was her plan, we've wasted too much time, we'll have to fight now," said Carlisle, moving to his wife's side.
Frowning, Jasper hit her with all the fear and despair he could muster as the wolves attacked, crippling her in place.
Sam and Jared struck first, aiming for the big guy.
"Emmett!" cried Rosalie as Sam and Jared tore into him, sprinting over to knock them away, only to be cut off by Paul's snapping jaws. Dodging, she again went to her husband's aide.
Emmett grunted as Sam's jaw bit into his left shoulder, his arm snapping out to grab the offending wolf's lower jaw to prevent it from damaging him further as his feet slid back and grunted painfully again when Jared slipped around and bit into his right side, grabbing him too.
Letting out a mighty roar of defiance, Emmett curled his right hand into a fist and began slamming it into Jared's head repeatedly, until he was forced to retreat with a broken jaw.
Turning his attention to Sam, muscles bulging, he forcibly opened the black wolf's jaws right as Rosalie arrived to kick him free, sending Sam rolling away with a few cracked ribs that would heal easily enough.
"Just like old times, eh Rose," Emmett joyfully said, rolling his hurt shoulder that had already nearly healed. A ghost of a smile crossed her lips as the memory of saving him from a bear back when he was human played on her thoughts.
"Shut up, we'll get through this, and then go somewhere far away, just the two of us," said Rosalie, watching the two wolves preparing for round two.
.
Jasper zoomed over to his mate, "We have to run, live to fight another day," he said, pulling a reluctant Alice away from Edward as a familiar rusty-brown wolf leapt at them. Using his gift to get her to comply, putting a healthy amount of fear and trust into her, and taking away any feelings of loyalty she may have had for staying.
Paul, spotting the pixie, gave chase.
"Jacob, why am I not surprised, always knew you would need a handicap to face me, even still, I'll put you down like the filthy mutt you are!" yelled Edward angrily.
It didn't take long, though, after dodging multiple near-fatal strikes by the skin of his teeth, that he admitted that without both arms, he stood no chance.
Quickly thinking, an awful idea came to his head, one that might just work; he grinned evilly even as Jake's next attack slammed him against the back of the house.
Edward threw his arm up, yelling, "Wait! Jacob, I know we never got along, but why are we fighting when we should be on the same side?"
Seeing Jake pause, he rapidly spat out what he knew, "You heard right, we should be on the same side, both of us betrayed by the ones we love, you betrayed by Paul, Leah, Dean, and even Bella," he said, liking the way the name took aback his wolf foe.
He could just now hear Bella's inner turmoil as he spoke, racing to stop him as Jasper's influence left her, "Oh yes, even Bella, for you see she did not only betray me but you as well, first Paul took your sister behind your back, and then worst of all Leah and Dean took Bella's virginity," he said, accepting his fate having achieved his goal, laughing maniacally, right as the young women screaming no from across the yard crashed into him, smashing him through the wall and into the house, taking his head.
A stunned Jake turned human and stepped through, "Is it true?" he asked hoarsely.
She shook her head, no longer able to produce tears despite the overwhelming sadness she felt, "Jake," she croaked, never having intended to hurt him so deeply.
He screamed, "I ASKED IF IT'S TRUE!?"
The sorrowful silence was all he needed. "I'm going to kill him!" he growled, shifting and running off before Bella could stop him.
.
Dean, Leah, Quil, Embry, and the younger ones trapped the two family heads in a circle.
A desperate Carlisle tried to negotiate, "Please, it doesn't have to be this way. We've lived in peace for so long, we can continue to do so. This was but a turning of a mate, something you should be able to appreciate, you know how important it is. Think of all the lives I saved here as a doctor without taking a single one, doesn't that count for something!?"
Esme stood by his side, frozen with fear, unable to mutter anything at all as her family was torn apart around her.
(Don't forget what they are, they will always be a threat, not to mention the vast amount of animal lives wasted on our lands, their poisoned carcass still rotting to this day,) said Dean, encouraging the little ones to stay on task.
(You got this, Leah with me,) He said, spotting Paul chasing Jasper and Alice out of the corner of his eye.
(Yeah, you guys got this, I'm going to go help Sam and Jared) said Embry, noticing them struggle.
(Sure we do, right guys,) said Quil.
(Right,) Seth, Brady, and Collin echoed, their eyes glaring fiercely at the two vamps who didn't know what was happening as some of them left.
(Now! Go for the Doctor, I'll get the other!) Quil roared, and they attacked.
He went for the female, not only because he wanted to, but he didn't want any of the young ones to be scarred by killing someone so innocent-looking. Aiming solely for her head, intending to kill her fast to spare them from her screams and get back to helping them if they needed it with the doctor.
"No!" cried Carlisle as he was separated from his wife, weaving and dodging every fierce bite that came his way from the three aggressive wolves.
Collin let out a painful yelp when he overextended himself and was slapped away right on the ear, rupturing his eardrum.
Dodging to the right side, Carlisle stomped down on Seth's front right leg, snapping it in half. Ducking the incoming jaws of Brady, he rolled back through with the tackle, coming up on top and biting a chunk out of the wolf's vulnerable neck, leaving Brady gurgling on his blood.
Then Carlisle's head snapped up, mouth covered in fur and dripping red, as his eyes widened in horror at hearing his wife's final scream.
That's when Collin took his head, leaping over Brady.
.
Eying the black one, Emmett took an open stance, arms spread wide, inviting them in, hissing threateningly of what awaited anyone who tried. His mate, Rosalie, did the same on his right side, eyeing Jared's approach.
(I got this!) yelled Embry, running up from behind, straight for Rosalie.
(Dammit Embry,) said Jared, following his lead along with Sam, attempting to keep their eyes on him.
Aware of what was behind her, Rosalie tapped her husband, holding out her hands. Without needing to say anything, he grabbed them, spinning her around, allowing her to kick all three away, and then throw her at a vulnerable Embry, still shaking off the kick. Knocking him onto his back, Rosalie began to slice and dice his exposed underside with her sharp nails, tearing out his throat and innards before jumping off and dodging a leaping strike from Jared.
"One down," Rosalie grinned, licking her hands and laughing at the mad barking dogs. Not privy to the information, Edward knew about their healing abilities that kept Jake from dying without a heart and growing a new one, having forgotten to share in his anger.
"Good job babe," said Emmett, running to intercept the black wolf going for her while she concentrated on the other one.
Enraged, Sam barely registered the big guy as he slammed into him, Head snapping to the side so fast, Emmett didn't have a chance to react as his head was taken and spit out, body falling lifelessly to the ground.
"EMMETT!" screamed Rosalie, furiously charging the black beast, Jared right behind her.
Running straight at him like a game of chicken, Rosalie didn't back down. His jaws widening did nothing to deter her from him. Tilting his head, Sam readied to bite her in half. Anticipating her jumping over him, he leapt, cutting her off, only she didn't jump up as he thought. She instead dove low straight at him without a care for safety, bringing her hands together with the nails she carefully sharpened from whence she was human, for a deadly strike.
Spearing him from underneath, nails digging into open flesh as they collided, cutting him open from chest to groin, spilling his guts below, much like Embry, collapsing in defeat.
Shocked at what he saw, Jared slowed before gritting his teeth and continued the chase as she took off towards Emmett's fallen head and body.
(Quil, I need you! Sam and Embry are down!) Jared shouted, unwilling to take any chance of her getting away.
(We're coming!) answered Quil.
Seeing the path of escape cut off by four more wolves, Rosalie abandoned her idea of retrieving Emmett and decided to make him proud by taking as many as she could with her.
With an abrupt 180, she went for the lone wolf behind her.
Unprepared, Jared snapped hastily at her approach, missing the mark as her hand struck out, clawing out his right eye with part of his cheek, and slashing down his side as they passed one another.
Swiftly turning around, he faced her with a fierce growl, blood dripping from his wounds.
Quil and the others were closing in as Rosalie took up the attack again, sprinting straight at him.
Not backing down, Jared did much the same as Sam, hoping for a better result as the space between them dwindled.
Always overlooked for being just another pretty face, few knew how skilled she truly was, even among her coven, none save Carlisle and Edward. Ever since that horrible day all those many years ago, she swore never to let herself become a victim again.
Engaging once more with Jared, she easily evades his every strike, peppering his hide with cuts after every clash, his fur drenched with blood by the time the others arrived to help.
Hissing angrily, she unexpectedly kept close despite being outnumbered, using their size against them, forcing them to get entangled with one another as they tried to bite her while she worked on cutting them down to size.
(This isn't working!) yelled Jared, frustratingly as he felt another slash on his side, their blood pooling around them.
"Why, Won't, You, Die!" yelled Rosalie after each slash, equally frustrated.
(Next time she's between two of us, we need to trap her long enough for one of us to end her,) said Quil.
(Now! Seth, Brady,) shouted Jared, (Quil, you go high, I'll go low, and Collin, prepare to catch her if she escapes.)
Ignoring the pain of her strikes, they squished her against their sides.
(Okay move!) Jared shouted, charging forward.
(Seth stop! We can't risk her escaping, you'll have to go through us, we'll survive,) said Brady resolutely.
(Hurry, I can already feel her wiggling out!) said Seth, wincing when she sank her teeth into him.
(I'll do it!) yelled Jared, feeling it was only right for it to be him, (You and Collin get ready just in case,) he said, leaping at the trapped vamp, claws slicing into his companions as his teeth clamped victoriously over her head, crushing her skull.
(Fuck, that was one tough bitch,) Quil sighed, sitting back on his hind legs, (Could give Leah a run for her money,) he said absentmindedly.
(Agreed,) said Jared, following suit.
(You shouldn't say that,) mumbled Collin almost inaudibly.
(But don't let Dean hear you saying that,) Jared went on as if he hadn't heard Collin.
(Or Leah,) Seth added.
(Right, or Leah,) said Jared.
(Who would have thought she would be the best fighter? I doubt any of the others even came close,) said Quil thoughtfully.
(Where did Jake and Bella go?) asked Seth.
(Don't know, maybe they also went after the pixie and her mate,) said Quil.
(Let's check on Sam and Embry,) said Jared.
It wasn't a pretty sight with their insides still spilled out.
(Do we, do we push it back in?) asked Quil hesitantly, looking at the gruesome scene.
(I'm going to be sick,) Seth blanched with Collin and Brady feeling no better.
Jared turned human, "Seems a good enough idea as any, you go take care of Embry, I've got Sam."
