Edward waved me away, yelling, “Let me take care of this wretch. It's the least I can do for Bella after having to leave her alone.”

I slowly backed up and went to help Jasper. Jasper had been bit several times by Riley and had lost his hold on the boy. Riley was now crouched low across from Jasper with one hand dangling from his arm and the other completely missing. I snuck up behind the unsuspecting vampire and jumped onto him, wrapping my legs around his waist so he couldn't knock me off. While Riley scrambled to get me off of him with only one mangled hand, Jasper ran forward and ripped his head clear off. Then we disassembled the rest of the body together and let it burn. By now, all that was left, were Edward and Victoria.

The family gathered around them in a semi-circle to help block Victoria from escaping. This made Victoria uncomfortable and lose her attention for a moment long enough for Edward to lunge forward and rip her neck off with his teeth, mangling the body into minuscule pieces and lighting it on fire. We stood together among the five fires. Carlisle and Esme, Emmett and Rosalie, and Jasper and I all huddled closer to each other, glad that we still had one another. I could feel Edward's sorrow from being alone as Jasper absorbed it and released just a bit of it among us.

To lighten the mood, Jasper sent a wave of calm and Emmett immediately started laughing. He dusted off his hands and said, “Well, that was fun. Can we do it again?”

All of us glared at him, and Rosalie smacked him upside the head.

We went back to the hotel, Edward just walked in sullenly and laid down, probably wishing he could sleep. I checked my visions of Bella's future to make sure she was alright, and everything seemed clear, except something caught my eye in the vision of her graduation.

Wonder why he was there?

I awoke with a start from an all too real nightmare. Vampires coming for me in the dark, I couldn't tell who it was. At first I thought maybe the Cu—they—hated me so much that they had come to get rid of me, but realized that was just silly. That meant it had to be someone else. I mean, I knew they were still out there right? They had to be. They were real which meant there had to be others.
