Bella's Point of View

I ran to the door, nearly tripping on the last step. I steadied myself and sped up, hoping I could stop whatever was happening. I had just reached the door when I heard a deafening crash ahead of me. Looking onto the scene, I saw each of the Cullens standing at the ready, making sure Edward knew they could step in when needed. I could only see flashes of the fight itself from the amazing speed that it occurred. One thing I saw scared me so much I had to grab hold of the doorway. What flashes of Edward I saw, he was circling and attacking a monstrous wolf. His words immediately flashed through my mind.

“Your friend is a werewolf. He could kill you if you simply looked at him the wrong way.”

That wolf was Jacob. And Edward was attacking Jacob. Why would he do this? He knows Jake means a lot to me. Why would he be trying to kill him?

Edward appeared again in front of the Jake-wolf. He threw a punch right into his muzzle, which threw Jacob into a nearby tree. An explosion-like crash rang out through the property. Jacob collapsed to the ground and Edward walked slowly towards him. Edward was going to kill him. He didn’t have a chance. I had to stop this.

Gathering my thoughts, I stepped onto the porch. Everyone was so engulfed in the fight that they didn’t even notice my presence. I stepped out into the yard and bolted.

“Stop! Stop it right now! You can’t do this!” I yelled over and over again. Still, nobody took notice. I was now a few yards from the fight. Edward jumped on top of Jacob and Jacob shook him off, sending Edward a few feet from me. He landed in a crouched position and sprang again. Tears streaked my face as I neared the chaos. Once again, my racing pulse gave me away. Looking to my left, I saw Alice’s head flicker to the side, seeing me and ruining my plan. She was at my side at once, holding me to her in an inescapable grasp. I yelled at her.

“Alice get off of me! I need to stop them! Edward will kill him!” Sobs broke out from my lips as Edward smashed his fist into Jacob’s side for a second; third time. Alice nodded, understanding my dilemma. She let me go and appeared seconds later behind Jacob. She grabbed him up from the ground into the same hold I was last in and pulled him away. Edward paused, clearly upset that Alice stepped in. I was behind Edward now, placing my hand lightly on his shoulder. Without thinking, he swatted me back, sending me several yards back. I cried out from the pain in my head. This seemed to snap him out of his trance. He turned and a look of horror smothered his face. I forced myself up to my feet as he appeared at my side.
