Scales of Twilight[18+][ NEEDS EDITING. READ AT OWN RISK]

**Edward's P.O.V.**

"THANK GOD! Stop polluting the house, bottomless pit!" Emmett dared call her that name, my eyes narrowing to slits as I turned around facing him.

"Emmett, I think you should shut up." I noticed how Exhausted and irritated Nieve looked, her silver serpent eyes seeming to narrow in on him, my lips parting. "Do I need to stick a glass shard up your ass?" She stood abruptly, her fingers turning into talons at her side.

"You wanna Tussle, baby sis? Huh? Huh? COME AT ME, BRO!" Emmet laughed as he stood up. All hell broke loose after that, my lips pulling down into a frown, watching my mate and my brother wrestle on the living room floor.

We all watched on, bewildered and confused; it then turned the shock as they both tumbled out of the window and out into the front yard.

*There's never a dull moment with her...*

I was almost sad that Bella wasn't here to witness this; if it weren't for her jealousy, Eve and she would have become good friends.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a shattering crack and Emmett's grunt of frustration and pain. Rosalie got up in distress and leaped out of the already broken window, tackling Eve. I felt something in me tighten painfully, leaping out the window right after Rose. She had Eve in a headlock while Emmet tried to pull her off.

"Rosie, Babes, I'm alright, I'm okay. Let her go-----C'mon!!!" He manages to pry one hand off before she does some damage. Eve, however, her silver eyes were now golden and narrow slits, her fingers had become talon-like, the claws on each finger coming to a precise individual sharp invisible point, and she happened to have one of Rosalie's wrist in her grasp. She showed no hesitation as she ripped her arm clean off, her lips parting in a vicious canine snarl.

Rosalie's scream of agony seemed to fill the entire clearing before Emmett managed to pull her and her arm away.

"Eve...---EVE, it's okay." I was Infront of her, her serpent gaze already watching me. Her chest seemed to be rising and falling rapidly as I felt the adrenaline jarring her abnormally slow heart to beat at an even more abnormal fast pace. At the moment, we were enemies to her.

It hurt me more that she stared at me as if I wasn't her mate. The fear I could smell, but it was quickly replaced with caution and growing rage. It broke my heart...

"Nieve, please." I captured her irises with my amber orbs, tentatively reaching out to stroke her face. She seemed to freeze in place as she felt my cold flesh brush against her cheek. " Edward---- I'm sorry." Her plush lips trembled, my other hand reaching out to grasp her waist, pulling her slowly into me.

Her silver gaze flickered to Emmett; guilt seemed to swarm in them as she met his gaze. He shook his head at her, brushing off the entire situation with a smile. "Rosie and I are okay. " I could see the wheels turning in her head, and yet I couldn't hear her mind at the moment. When her eyes met mine, she closed them and fell slump against my body, fainting.

"I don't care if it was an accident; I'll rip her arm off." Rosalie suddenly shouted as Emmett helped her stand, a guttural snarl leaving my lips and echoing throughout the clearing. "I am warning you, Rosalie, DON'T speak any more harm on Eve, or ill rip your other arm off." I didn't even hesitate as I stood, walking away with my love unconscious in my arms.

**Nieve P.O.V.**

   An annoying throbbing in my temple was what awoke me, the events of today's wrestling match replaying over like a horror movie. I hadn't meant to hurt Emmett, and the arm I managed to dislocate I had helped him pop it back in place.

That's when Rosalie came leaping to the rescue, tackling me away. I'm pretty sure I told them before that the Volturi used to hunt me, which meant plenty of fighting and death on their side, so I didn't understand why she attacked me the way she did. I thought Vampires didn't forget.

It was as if a switch flipped, and one moment I had her arm, and the next, her anguished screams filled my ears.

What hurt me more than the man I spent time searching and avoiding, I almost attacked him...

It took everything in me not to go back home and ward the entire building so I wouldn't be heard or sensed. At the moment, again, I didn't want to be in any of their presence, though I'd only be hurting myself and Edward.

With a short sigh, I sat up in the bed Edward had placed me in and looked out the glass doors, watching the white curtain hollow softly by the gold breeze that stirred them. I was going to walk out of those doors when Edward walked in; his expression worried as he watched me contemplate without any idea what I was thinking.

The frustration grew on his face as he tried to get and stood over me in a second. "Are you purposefully blocking me out?" His brows pulled together to give his face a distraught expression. He knew I was thinking of closing myself up again. He was hoping he was wrong. I then decided that maybe instead of running, how about taking him on a trip.

"Yes... I am...." I whispered, glancing back out the open glass doors.

"I'm just thinking, wondering if the situation earlier could have been avoided if Rose Hadn't attacked me." I threw my legs over the side of my bed and sighed, standing, turning to face him. "I saw what happened but, I want to hear it from you. What happened to Emmett?"

He closed what was left of the tiny space between our bodies, grasping my hand in his larger one.

I heaved a sigh and rolled my eyes. "I accidentally dislocated Emmett's shoulder. In trying to fix it, that's when Rose came down and smiled me away." I pulled my hand from his and walked onto his balcony.

"I want to take you all somewhere for a while, and something tells me that you all need a vacation." I could almost see Edward's head tilting in the confusing turn in the conversation.

"Eve----What-----" Edward was cut off when Alice barged into the room, a grin on her face. "YES, YES!!! LETS GO, Esme is going to be thrilled, and Carlisle will have a FITTT!" She darted to Edward's closet and threw a decent size suitcase on the bed.

"Alice, what are you doing?----Why are you singing the birthday song in Gaelic in your head?" Edward was beyond confused; he glanced between her and me like we had grown four heads. I just winked at Alice and then rolled my eyes at Edward. It may have been in a short while, but I fell in love with this disco-Vamp.

"Hurry up, I already told the others, their packing.  Eveie, come with me." Alice demanded eagerly, dragging me away from Edward and out of the room. With one fleeting glance in his direction, I watched his lips turn down in a frown before going to pack his things in a blur.
