Chapter 43

Looking at the three who had surrounded him, Jack lifted his arms up and widened his legs apart so he could form some type of combat stance.

He was simply improvising however as he had never actually trained in combat and this was only something he had seen in movies and never in real life.

'Fake it until you make it is what they say' Jack thought before showing a small grin on his face.

With his eyebrows still furrowed and a grin on his face, Jack looked as if he had gone completely insane.

His pupils enlarged as he looked from one Cullen to the other.

"Jack, we're sorry, all right? But the circumstances between you and Bella are different." Alice said once more as she tried to reason with Jack.

At her words, Jack and even Emmet and Rosalie turned toward Alice in surprise.

"What do you mean by that?" Emmet asked with a gruff voice.

Alice looked at her brother for a slight moment before turning her sight to Jack.

"Bella is Edwards's soul mate, someone who is destined to be his lover for the rest of her life. That's the reason why Carlisle and Edward reacted that way to the situation and why they took that decision." Alice said, her eyes didn't convey sadness or empathy in Jack's eyes, however.

'Pity, she pities me' Jack thought as he looked at the pixie-like woman.

Jack lowered his arms, getting out of his stance, and then slightly turned his head to one side, giving Alice a closed-eyed smile.

"And why should I care? You're telling me that you didn't do to her what you did to me because she's Edward's soul mate? I knew that already Alice" Jack said causing Alice to express surprise as she took a step back.

Jack instead took a step closer to her, causing both Emmet and Rosalie to tense up.

"I don't care what you do to other people, I don't care if you kill an entire town. That's just not who I am. What I have a problem with." Jack said before pointing his index finger at his own face.

"Is that you did it to me" Jack finished his sentence with a deep rage-filled voice.

Lowering his arm once more, Jack furrowed his brows further before stating.

"Now let's get this shit over with, no matter what you say, Alice, this is my decision, and I'm going to carry on with it," Jack said before becoming a blur and arriving right in front of Alice.

Because Alice had moved as she had been talking, Emmet and Rosalie weren't close enough to stop Jack.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

And all it took was three punches for Alice to be down for the count.

Emmet's face which had shown controlled anger before finally exploded in rage as he ran towards Jack with his entire strength.

'This isn't dragon ball Emmet, anger only makes u a weaker opponent' Jack thought as he looked at Emmet whose punches had only slowed down further than before.

Emmet had already been damaged by Jack so he should have stayed behind, tried to put him in a chokehold, or simply held him down but anger had clouded his decision-making.

Before Rosalie could do anything...

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

Another three punches and Emmet was down for the count.

Turning his sight to the last remaining vampire, Jack started walking towards her slowly.

Rosalie didn't back away and stood there defiantly while glaring at Jack.

"You know something, Rosalie?" Jack said as he arrived to stand in front of her.

"Out of all the members of your family, I respect you the most. You don't go back on your words, you believe in your own morals and decisions. Quite unlike that brother of yours" Jack said as he shifted his eyes toward a downed Edward a few meters away.

Rosalie didn't reply for a moment before sighing.

"Just get this over with bastard."

Jack smirked at her words before unleashing two punches to her head which she couldn't avoid at all.

*Bang* *Bang*

*Thump*

And she also fell to the ground just like the rest of them.

Jack had been lucky, he had managed to get Edward down with his perk, had managed to surprise the Cullens and quickly remove Jasper, and then Alice hadn't wanted to fight so she hadn't used much of her strength.

Alice's defeat had enraged Emmet even further and caused him to lose his reasoning which also led to his downfall and Rosalie hadn't even fought back at the last moment.

Lifting his head up, Jack looked at the sky through the hundreds of tree branches and leaves.

'I expected to feel better but I don't' Jack thought to himself, lowered his head, and started walking to Edward.

Standing in front of the vampire, Jack started kicking the man over and over.

He only stopped a few minutes later.

Edward looked like a mess, his entire chest looked to be caved in an his arms most certainly didn't look useable anymore but he wasn't fatally injured.

'It's definitely giving me satisfaction but this hatred, these pent-up emotions they just aren't going away. Wasn't revenge supposed to make them go away?' Jack thought once more before he shook his head.

'What's done is done, I can't go back in time, and doubting my decisions isn't something I want to be thinking about.' Jack thought before turning around and started running toward his next destination.

He was going back to the Cullen Mansion.

'I'll get my stuff from there and go back to my studio apartment, as for the Cullens going after me? I doubt they would do that and even if they do, I can simply run away and they wouldn't be able to catch me at all. The problem is after I lose my newborn power boost. So I need to train much harder in the dungeons so that I don't lose much if any power.' Jack thought as he ran through the forest. It was like he was a black blur of death as the wildlife ran away as soon as they felt his presence.

It was at this moment that he heard a notification sound.
