Chapter 1

BPOV:

"so what do we do with you now?" Aro sighed

Edward and Alice stiffene. this was the part they'd been waiting for. i began to tremble.

"i don't suppose there's any chance that you've changed you mind?" aro asked edward hopefully. "your talent would be an exellent addition to our little company."

edward hesitated. from the corner of my eye, i saw both felix and jane grimance.

edward seemed to weigh each word before he spoke it.

"i'd...rather...not."

"alice?" aro asked, stil hopeful "would you perhaps be interested in joining with us?"

"no, thank you," alice said.

"and you, bella?" aro raised his eyebrows.

edward hised, low in my ears. i stared at aro blankly.

was he joking? or was he really asking me if i wanted to stay for dinner?

it was the white haired caiurs who broke the silence.

"what?" he damanded of aro; his voice, though no more than a whisper, was flat.

"caius, surely you see the potential," aro childed him affectionately. "i haven't seen a prospective talent so promising since we found jane and alec. can you imagine the possibilities when she is one of us?"

caius looked away with a caustic expression. janes eyes sparkled with indignation at the comparison.

edward fumed beside me. i could hear a rumble in his chest, building a growl. i couldn't let his temper get him hurt.

"no, thank you," i spoke up in barely more than a whisper, my voice breaking in fright.

aro sighed. "thats unfortunate. such a waste."

edward hissed. "join or die, is that it? i suspected as much when we were brought to this room. so much for your laws."

the tone in his voice surprised me. he sounded irate, but there was something deliberate about his delivery - as if he'd choosen his words with great care.

"of course not." aro blinked, astonished. "we were already convented here, edward, awaiting heidi's return. not for you."

"aro," caius hissed "the law claims them."

edward glared at caius. "how so?" he demanded. he must have known what caius was thinking, but he seemed determined to make him speak aloud.

caius pointed a skelental finger at me. "she knows too much. you have exposed our secrets." his voice papery thin, just like his skin.

"there are a few humans in on your charade here, as well," edward reminded him, and i thought of the pretty receptionist below.

cauis's face twisted into a new expretion. was it suppose to be a smile?

"yes,"he agreed. "but when they are no longer useful to us, they will serve to sustain us. that is not your plan with this one. if she betrays our secrets, are you prepared to distroy her? i think not," he scoffed.

"i wouldn't - ," i began, still whispering. caius silenced me with a look.

"nor do you intend to make her one of us," caius continued. "therefore, she is a vulnerability. though ut is true, for this , only her life if forfeit. you may leave if you wish"

EPOV:

there's no way for her to live edward, caius thought you might as well leave with your life.

i bared my teeth at him too angery to speak. he knew that i would ratter end my life right now if it ment that bella was safe.

edward, alice thought if you attack now then they will grab us. don't do anything rash, there may be some way out of this but we need to leave bella here to think of a planwith the others.

i turned to face alice and hissed at her. leave bella? how? i don't think that she would last a minute let alone the 3 days it would take to get back not to mention the fact that we might not be able to think of anything. i barely noticed when bella started talking but was shocked at what she was saying.

"aro," bella said "if what caius says is true, then if i stay here, edward and alice are free?"

"yes, dear bella, however they would have to wait downstairs until the sun has set."

"if you agree to let them go unharmed, then i will go with you willingly."

for a few seconds, i just stared at bella. how could she be so selfless? to offer her life to save us? she must know what would happen to didn't she? why would she give her life to save us when we didn't deserve to life?

she met my eyes and i was sure she could see the pleading in them, telling her to stay.

edward, i love bella to but you have to let her make that deal edward, i barely heard anyone but alice was shouting directly at me i don't know what will happen but if we try to take her with us then she'll die!

bella... the only one i care for, the only one that i couldn't live without, and yet i can't stop putting her life in danger, i can't stop everyone from taking her away from me.

"so, my dear bella, do we have a deal?"

"edward," bella whispered. i noticed her eyes were closed. "you have to let go of me."

"bella," i pleaded "don't go. we can find a way, we could leave together."

i tried to sound like i was sure we would but my voice didn't help. it sounded hopeless.

"bella?" aro called

"yes, aro, we have a deal."

when she said that i wrapped my arms around her so they couldn't take bella away, not when we were just reunited.

ahh, edward, aro thought i know how you must feel. i've felt it in your memories but do not worry, if i choose to end her life i'll send you a letter and i promise it will be quick and painless for her.

i hissed at him. but i sensed the gaurd moving closer, all thinking of getting bella away from me.

aro raised his hand.

"peace, brothers, there is no need for force. alex, if you please."

i started to panic, there was no way to stop him. there was no way to stop that mist.

i was looking at alice for help but she was competely curtain that i would need to hand bella over. then her eyes went blank and i noticed that the mist was faster then i thought, then it got me i couldn't hear a sound and i saw only darkness, the heat i felt from bella in my arms disappered. and i was drifting in nothing.

one by one my senses returned to me. the first thing that returned was sound. i could here footsteps above me. then i had touch. i could feel i was lying down on what felt like a couch. then i was able to see. i was lying on a black leather couch and a pillow onder my head. then i smelled flowers and ... strawberrys?

BELLA!?!

i sat up, and my head was turning in ever direction but i couldn't see her anywhere, then i noticed the the scent came from a piece of paper in my hand.

on the front it said edward.

"about time you snapped out of it," alice said. my head snapped up to see alice standing in frount of me, arms crossed. how did i not notice her beside me?

"where are we alice?"

"after alex knocked us out we were carried here and since i woke up first alex told me to wait down here until they said it was dark."

"where's bella? is she okay?"

"they said their not going to do anything to her until they know we were at home them they would dicide what to do to her,"

"if she's here then we should find her,"

alice just shook her head

edward, if we do anything we're not supposed to, then they'll kill her.

"but we have to do something!"

we have to go back and ask carlisle for help.

"hey what does that note say anyway? i tried to read it but you wouldn't let go of it,"

i knew it was from bella, her scent linger on the paper but i was afraid of what it would say, but i knew that i had to read it.

so i slowly opened the piece of paper. i could feel alice behind me reading off my shoulders.

Dearest Edward,

i hope that you can forgive me for choosing to give up. i have given you my heart and i have always been willing to give you meself in body and in soul, so don't think that its your job to save me. i have changed since you left and theres nothing that they can do to keep me here for long. trust me. i will be able to get out of here in a couple of days so please, please don't come back for me.

remember i love you. forever.

your love bella

she still loves me. after everything that i have done, shes willing to sacrifies herself for me.

"alice, what does bella mean that she has changed?" i barleyspoke about a whisper so the human receptionist wouldn't hear us.

"i'm not sure but i'm guessing she didn't say because she thought they might've read it but i don't smeel any scent of the voltori on it"

my poor bella. so many things were working against her. why her? why would fate dam such a pure soul? not just once but many times again and again?

"edward, the best thing we can do is go home and wait a couple of days to see if she can come. you have to trust her. bella always knows what shes doing."

trust her edward

"i'll try"

good

there it is!

Hope you liked it!
