The week passed slower then ever, anticipation and fear growing in each and every person on the Cullen residence. For some death was not an option but for other death seemed like the only road taken so far.

Vi prioritized herself around Bella and Jacob, she was always either making sure the human girl was taken care of or keeping the perimeter of the house secured.

Jacob revealed to Vi that not only had Seth joined their side but so had Leah, which had not gone over well. Begrudgingly she had agreed to let the she wolf stay so long as she kept in line.

Bella was another problem, each day more problems arose, more bones broke, and their hope lessened. She was growing weaker, colder, and the stench of death was that much harder to ignore.

Edward grew bitter by the days, eyes darkening as well as his families. They were slowly growing weaker and Violet could do nothing about it.

She stepped out into the forest when Esme gave her a break, the fresh September air felt perfect against her skin. She breathed it in deeply and wondered briefly what it would be like to just run, the trees called her and the wind caressed her skin as if asking her to just go.

"Don't do it."

Vi turned abruptly, being caught by Leah who had now shifted into her human form. The faint smell of the Cullen's wafted off the wolf girl and towards the hybrid, she was wearing a plain grey shirt from Alice's collection along with white shorts from Esme. From the disgust on the wolf's face it was clear she didn't like it but there was really no other option if she wanted to walk around human or eat.

Vi stared at the girl, attempting not to let a scowl overcome her face before she sighed and looked away. "And why is that?"

"Before I left, Sam said he wanted you captured and then brought back to Emily's. He didn't want you involved in this or to kill you so he was going to kidnap you. I bet my life they're just waiting for you." Leah explained, eyes traveling the darkening terrain.

"Typical Sam," Vi snorted before really staring down the girl. "Why are you here Leah? Like really here?"

"Seth." She answered bluntly and without thought. "And your brother. I can't leave my baby brother to get himself killed over something he has nothing to do with. And I was tired of hearing Sam's constant guilt, I couldn't stand it any longer."

Vi nodded her head silently, she could understand the former. After her break up with Jacob that's all she was able to feel, they hung out with the same people so it was evident they would face one another and each time it was the same pain written across his face. It grew worse after he turned into a wolf and was over the house every other day.

"Well, I can understand that." She sighed. "I warn you though Leah. You turn against us and you'll be the first to die."

Leah nodded towards her warning.

Violet turned from the forest despite her need to be free, walking past Leah she mumbled. "If you and Seth get hungry just howl, I've got food stacked in the house and it smells more like me then vampire."

If Leah nodded she didn't see as the brown haired girl made her way back inside the Cullen home.

She took a seat on Emmett's lap, the large male was intently watching the football game on tv while he sat in a Lazyboy. She relaxed into his lap, his arm automatically wrapping around her waist and legs adjusting to her comfort as his lips placed a kiss to her temple.

Vi breathed in his warm set, tangling her fingers with his own. Her eyes flickered over to Bella once she'd grown comfortable enough, finding the human girl laid across the couch with Jacob holding her feet in his lap. She was wearing a thick sweater and a blanket but even so she shivered.

Violet went to stand and grab her another blanket when Jacob moved around, "I got it."

Bella smiled up at the wolf, face brightening just as much as when she looked at Edward which Violet felt odd, she hadn't even stared at him that way before she was married. Apparently he noticed too as Jake grew uncomfortable. "Don't do that."

The human looked curiously at his remark. "What?"

"Smile like I'm your favorite person in the world."

Bella's grinned return, "You're one of them. Feels complete when you're here, Jake."

Her words were followed by a gasp of disgust as she leaned over and threw up any scraps of food she had been keeping down. Whimpers and shivers followed as she groaned in pain.

Violet stood, walking over just as Edward knelt down and brushed hair from her face. "We need to find a way to get some food into her system."

"If I could I only see the fetus... " Alice murmured

"The baby. " Bella but in to correct.

"Maybe I could figure out what it wants."

Despite her jab Alice was telling the truth and everyone stayed silent, no doubt racking their brains for an answer just as bad as Violet was currently doing. Edward snapped his head in Jacobs direction. "Think you might be right. Jacob just had an idea."

Jacob snorted, "it wasn't an idea. lt was a snide comment."

"What were you thinking?" Violet stepped closer knowing that what ever it was could potentially give them a silver lining in all this darkness.

Jacob sighed, looking down at the bump and speaking. "That it's probably just looking for someone to sink its teeth into."

Everyone stayed silent, realizing that was just the answer. "He's thirsty."

"l know the feeling." Emmett commented and Violet felt her heart cave in at his strained voice. She knew that it was partly her fault off this was happening, Emmett was in constant pain because of this and there was nothing she could do about it.

"If it's craving, it's not gonna want animal blood." Violet pointed out, only speaking from what she'd learned of newborn vampires.

"I have some O negative laid aside for Bella and from when Violet almost turned entirely." Carlisle pointed out.

Alice stood, walking across the room towards her boyfriend, pulling him outside as she cheerfully spoke. "Walk with me."

Violet turned in the direction of a retreating Carlisle, he went straight towards the cellar while she looked for a styrofoam cup with a lid and straw. The doctor was back before she could set the cup on the counter and already he was pouring the scarlet liquid into the container.

"You think this will work?" Violet asked, watching the thick drink flow.

Carlisle looked at her, seeing not a fragment of her being care for the drink and answered. "It's just a theory but it's worth a shot, besides this stuff was going to go bad one way or another. I guess this way at least it serves a purpose.

Once they were done both the doctor and hybrid walked out, Vi holding the cup as she walked over to a now sitting Bella. Jake seemed freaked out as the situation set in and stood, "Wait, wait, wait. You're gonna make her drink that? "

"Well yeah." Vi shrugged to his weirded out expression. "It's the fastest way to test the theory."

"Only if you're comfortable with it." Edward added to his wife.

Bella didn't hesitate, "l'll try anything."

Jacob looked uneasy as he turned away from Vi handing the cup over, "I think I'm gonna be sick."

The hybrid scowled his way, "oh don't be such a baby. You love gory movies."

"Tastes good." Bella announced after her initial sip, and her eyes shut as her shoulders relaxed like it was the best thing ever. "Mmm."

Edward smiled, grasping her free hand between his own. "Your pulse is already getting stronger. It's working."

They all sighed in relief, all their problems weren't solved yet but at the very least one was slowly going away.

The following day Violet was lounging in her room, Bella's health was increasing by the day which meant she didn't have to be on constant surveillance. Her heartbeat was loud in Violets ear as she brushed her hair in the vanity. She caught her reflection, tan finger running through her brown locks when an idea came to her head. She dropped her fingers from her hair and lifted her palm straight in front of her face.

Fascinated she conjured up flames, watching as they played with her soft skin yet none of it burned. How she could do this was a wonder to the world but for some reason she was meant for this gift... only her. Well... her and someone else as Luther had phrased it, still it seemed not to be the biggest worry considering this situation.

"I haven't seen that smile in awhile." Emmett stepped into the room, having been watching his fiancée.

The smiled dropped, unknowingly having displayed it she stood from her spot. "It's been a tough time... I think yesterday gave us something to smile about. We have a higher chance of keeping Bella alive."

"I like that you're optimistic." Emmett commented, walking up to her and wrapping his arms around her waist so she was pressed against him.

"I want to marry you after all of this." She stated, "as soon as this is all done you and I run off to Vegas and get married. Then we go off to some deserted islands for a few centuries. How does that sound?"

"It sounds perfect." He nodded, pressing his lips against her smiling lips. His palm pressed against the small of her back, eliciting a hum of happiness from her lips. "I love you."

"I love you Polar Bear." She breathed between kisses.

"Violet, Jacob."

The sound of her name broke them apart, in an instant Emmett was clasping their hands together and rushing them out of the room. When they came downstairs Bella and Edwards soft murmurs were heard from the living room followed by a joyous laugh which Vi found heartwarming, no matter how annoying it had once been for her now it seemed like a victory.

Once in the kitchen they found Carlisle, Esme and Jacob standing around a blood bag, the last one.

"So, that's the last of it?" Jacob pointed to the small pouch

Carlisle grimly nodded and went on to explain. "Bella could deliver as early as tomorrow. lf she's going to have any chance at all, she'll need more blood."

"And you need to feed." Esme pointed out to her mate. "You have to be at your strongest for her, Violet won't be able to do this by herself. We need to go tonight."

There was no need to further explain, Violet stepped forward, standing next to her best friend who was already speaking, "Carlisle, you're the enemy now. Sam won't hesitate. You will be slaughtered."

"Emmett will come with us." Esme added, looking to her strongest son for assurance. Despite the pang of pain in Violets heart she knew it to be for the best, her boyfriend was their fighting chance.

"That won't be enough." Jacob replied, looking to his friend for answers. Vi stayed silent as she awaited some form of a plan to come to her mind.

Carlisle sighed, "We have no choice, Jacob. lf there's anything we can do to save her, we have to try."

He blankly stared back for a second, "You'd risk your lives for her?"

Esme was the one to firmly nod this time as her response did not hesitate. "Of course we would. Bella's a part of our family now."

"Yeah. I can see that." He nodded back, face softening. "This really is a family. As strong as the one I was born into. I know what I have to do. Vi, care to join?"

Vi squeezed her imprints hand, "for them, hell yeah."

₩₩₩₩

Violet pressed her lips against Emmett's tightly, savoring the memory of his print against her skin in her mind. She didn't think of herself as a pessimistic person so instead of saying anything she merely stepped away from him, giving his hand one last squeeze.

He was going to be leaving with Esme and Carlisle and they would be in grave danger of the wolves, whatever happened she prayed it didn't end badly.

Jacob stood next to her, waiting as she dropped his hand, "ready?"

She pursed her lips and reluctantly looked away from her mate, "let's go."

They made the trek deeper into the forest, where Sam's pack had been awaiting the right moment. Just as they took a step forward Leah and Sam burst through the trees. "Guys! They're coming."

Violet didn't even flinch, hearing the feet pounding their way she bit her lip anxiously. "We know."

Leah jumped on the balls of her feet, looking towards the alpha male. "We should phase, Jacob. We can't protect ourselves like this."

Jacob and the hybrid shared a look as she nodded, letting him know it would be safe for them. "They'll see it as a threat. We wanna talk! Be easier if we could hear you, too."

He shouted into the open void, well it appeared that way until from out of the woods stepped forward Jared, Quil, and Paul. Each one held a stern look upon their faces, although Quil's did soften. Jared was the one who stepped forward. "This isn't your territory anymore. How's the new family working out?"

"Cut the shit." Vi snapped, knowing it was just Sam throwing a jab her way. He was listening into everything and if possible she could sense her brothers eyes on her.

Jared stayed silent, keeping his anger intact. Quil was quick to speak up then. "You two coming home yet?"

"Not until we finish this." Jacob responded, keeping his composure as he continued to lie.

"What do you mean?" Jared questioned. His eyebrows furrowing at the implied phrase.

Jake looked to his pack, not having told them the plan before coming. Instead both the hybrid and wolf awaited their reactions to help this lie go smoothly. "I want Sam to take back Leah and Seth."

Leah was the first her eyes widening, "What?"

Seth shook his head and took steps back. "No way!"

Jacob snapped at them both. "Quiet! I want them safe. And I want this over."

"We need Sam to wait until Bella's been separated from the problem." Violet went on to explain, her voice was dead from emotion, arms crossed over one another. To the wolves she looked lethal, like it was all serious. And in their minds they were hoping that Vi was finally seeing what little light was left for them, like she was surfacing once more.

"You mean till she's dead." Paul retorted sharply.

Her eyes slit, and Jacob from beside her fidgeted although neither made another move towards them. What they needed was an audience not a fight, with Violet there it was guaranteed every wolf was near but if she so much as punched one it would all be over. So that's precisely why Quil turned towards the male and huffed. "Ease up, Paul. Then what?"

Jacob sighed heavily, the next words like poison escaping his lips. ""Tell Sam that when the moment comes, we'll be the one to destroy it."

They stayed silent, eyes moving towards the petite hybrid who's face stayed neutral, they didn't believe him. She swallowed thickly and looked then dead in the eyes. "I'll kill it, I swear. We're the only one who can. They trust us. Do you really think I'd be here if not?"

She could feel Sam's eyes analyzing her so she stayed completely rigid, listening for any sign. When a loud howl announced itself, and feet rustled away she let out a breath.

Jared snarled towards them, "you played us!"

"Wouldn't be the first time would it!" She retorted as they changed into their wolves and back out to the forest.

Jacob and Vi looked at one another, disbelief that they'd actually completed their part.

"Did they make it!" Vi burst out of the woods, wolves following her as she stepped towards Edward.

He nodded, allowing her to relax her shoulders as she knew Emmett was alive.

They all entered the residence then to find Alice helping Bella stand, a cup of blood in her hand. Her eyes lit up when she found them walking in. "Are you all okay?"

Jacob was the one to respond. "Yeah, it's not like we're the one carrying a demon."

Vi smacked his arm, although her top lip lifted in amusement.

Alice soft smile turned towards Bella, "This is pretty important, Bella. Why don't you tell them what you've decided?"

"What now?" Jacob muttered. Vi grinned knowing fully well where this conversation was going, it was the baby talk all over again.

"Alice is trying to talk Bella out of her baby names." Edward explained.

"Vi hates them." Bella pointed out, earning a head nod from the hybrid.

Jake looked towards the brunette and teased. "Well, then l'm on your side no matter what you picked."

"They're not that bad." Vi actually sighed in defeat, rolling her eyes. It's not that the names were horrendous... they were just too different. Odessa was one thing but a name like the ones Bella had picked out where on a whole different level.

Bella pulled her lips into her mouth, "if it's a boy, EJ. Edward Jacob."

Edward patted his wife as Alice let her stand by herself. "Okay, fine, that one's not awful. Why don't you tell him the girl's name?""

"I was playing around with our moms' names. Renée and Esme. And l was thinking... Renesmee." She shyly spoke.

A laugh escaped everyone at Jacobs awestruck facial expression, Bella waited a second before speaking up. "Too weird?"

"No, that's not too weird. lt's beautiful." Edward comforted his wife.

Jake shrugged, "And it's unique, which certainly fits the situation."

A laugh echoed around the room, like everyone was relaxing for the first time since this abrupt situation. But like every calm before the storm there was a storm right after, and it hit at the worst of moments.

Vi watched as the cup fell out of Bella's hands, her own outstretching to catch it like everyone else's. However Bella bent, and her spine snapped. The sound was horrifying, sending chills up everyone's backs. Bella screamed at the top of her lungs, her face contorting into pain as Edward grasped her.

They were in the hospital room in a flash, Bella screaming at the top of her lungs.

Everyone was yelling, panicking as they moved quicker and quicker. Bella was yelling at them to get the baby out.

"Vi, pass the morphine." Edward ordered the hybrid who already had the syringe in hand. She was detached, almost like an out of body experience, she could hear everyone's orders but she stayed still.

"Carlisle said the placenta must have detached." Alice came into the room, her fingers pressing a silver earpiece. "He's coming as fast as he can, but... We'll have to do it."

Everyone looked towards the hybrid her hands grasping the scalpel. Vi was the only one prepared to do this besides Carlisle, they had talked it over for months. Edward turned towards her and shook his head. "Vi! Let the morphine spread."

"There's no time. He's dying. Get him out now!" Bella yelled towards her husband, thrashing on the bed.

Vi looked towards Edward, seeing him nod reluctantly. Without another second wasted she pressed the thin blade against Bella's stomach and began to cut a long scar across her body.

Over the yells of the human there was Edward attempting to calm her, keeping her face solely on his own as she screamed in pain. "Look at me, Bella."

Vi lifted her hands filled with blood, setting the scalpel down and attempting to push the baby out when Jacob screamed from beside her. "Alice, don't!"

The scalpel clattered to the ground as Vi abruptly turned and elbowed Alice in the face, she was quick to restrain the vampire with all her strength. Her snarls were loud, blackened eyes almost glowing at the prospect of a meal. Still Vi kept her at an arms length, shoving her further away.

"Vi, get her out of here! I've got this!" Edward yelled towards the hybrid.

"Violet! Ow!" Bella screamed towards the one person on her side. Still the hybrid continued to shove Alice away.

She got her out to the hallway, towards the kitchen when Alice began to go limp. Vi's hands were covered in blood, soaked in them as the floors were dripping with the thick liquid.

"Alice! Alice! Listen to me," she continued to calm the pixie vampire who's eyes were trained on the girls hands. "This isn't you, you're not like this. Come on! Bella is dying and you can do this to her!"

Slowly she felt the vampire drifting back to her, and her eyes moved away from the blood. She looked almost dazed like her mind had been snatched from her own being and something else was possessing her, having fought for control once more.

Alice stepped back, flashing towards the sink and rubbing her stone skin raw until all the blood was gone. "Wash your hands, the smell is everywhere."

Her hand ducked underneath the cabinet, not breathing as the hybrid walked past her. As Vi rinsed the blood off Alice soaked the floors in chlorine.

Vi and her looked at one another, "you good?"

Alice sighed, running her hands through her hair, "I'm gonna go check on Jasper, he's running the perimeter."

Vi nodded, turning away and speeding back down the hall where the sounds of baby's wails were coming.

When she came back her heart nearly stopped as well. Edward was holding a small bundle in her blood soaked arms, the child crying relentlessly. Jacob was ahead placing pressure on Bella's chest... who was dead.

"No! No!" Vi yelled, rushing forward. She placed her hand placing against the base of Bella's throat to feel no pulse. "Bella! Bella! Wake up! You promised you wouldn't go out like this! Come on! Come on!"

Still the girl did not move, she was as stiff as a board... dead.

Vi felt tears pour from her eyes, and despite Jacobs efforts she knew nothing would work now, nothing human like.

"Vi, take Renessme," Edward shocked voice called out to the girl. "Now."

Reluctantly she stepped away, hugging the dead girl quickly before walking over to Edward and taking the baby from his hands.

"Take care of her." Edward pleaded for the life of his daughter, his eyes looked towards Jacob for a millisecond and she didn't need to be told twice.

Bella was dead and Jacob was going to want some retribution, she nodded abruptly to the new father and widow. "With my life."

She walked out of the room, holding the fussing baby in her arms.

She was beautiful, covered in blood but still the picture of perfection. With her creamy, ivory skin, bright brown eyes, tinted pink cheeks, and full rosy lips the child came from labor and love.

"Renessme," Vi cooed instead of grieving for the girl who had just died.

Besides the newborn child's heartbeat there was not another, not a human one at least. Bella was dead, and there might not be a chance of undoing this wrong.

She worked quickly, cleaning the child up and changing her into a diaper and warm clothes. The baby cooed at her, giggling as if it were months ahead instead of only minutes.

"Renessme," she softly sang, bouncing the child in her arms.

She heard growls and cries of frustrations, and she grew panic stricken. The wolves were coming for justice there was no doubt about it which meant it was inevitable she would have to kill some of her best friends or be killed.

Footsteps creaked towards her and she whirled around to find Jacob, tears streaming down his face and shaking. She took a step back, one of her hands lifting from the baby and towards Jacob, flames dancing around her fingers. "Jacob don't do it. I can't let you."

"It killed Bella! I have too!" He growled, eyes trained on the bundle.

Almost as if she knew they were speaking of her Renessme lifted her head and turned towards Jacob, and surprisingly giggled his way.

And fate was sealed.

Jacob stopped in his tracks, jaw going slack as the emotions ripped from his facial expression and he dropped to his knees at Violets feet.

She was confused until she realized what was happening, Jacob Black had imprinted on Renessme Cullen. Her eyes nearly popped out of her skull at the realization.

There was no time for her to question though because outside the war was coming to its climax and the worst happened.

"EMMETT NO!" Someone screamed but she didn't care to take notice of who it was.

Vi snapped her head towards the outskirts of the house, and without another thought she was setting Renessme down in the crib near Jacob, only running her hand through the babies soft hair before dashing outside.

She found her mate pinned to the ground, her brothers wolf about to deliver the final blow and rip his jugular out. She screamed, running right into the chaos and shoving the wolf right off.

It landed with a thud against one of the tall oak trees, shaking the strong wood but not knocking it over. When Sam stood once more he found he was matched up against his sister. She was standing protectively in front of her mate, fingers dancing with flames as well as the tips of her hair, there was no trace of the girl he had vowed to protect, not since she had chosen a side.

Emmett abruptly stood, the Cullen's somehow managing to form a circle around the entrance to the home.

Jacob came running out of the home, voice strong as he ran in front of Vi so he stood directly against Sam's wolf. "STOP! Stop! lt's over! lf you kill her, you kill me."

Sam growled, not understanding what was happening until Jacob shifted into his own wolf. And seconds ticked by as every wolf grew silent, Sam howled once and the wolves were off.

The clan of vampires were awestruck at their actions until Edward's bewildered voice spoke. "Jacob imprinted. They can't hurt her. Whoever a wolf imprints on can't be harmed. lt's their most absolute law."

And the war between the Cullen's and wolves was over, forever.
