Life sucks, and then you die.

Chapter 1: Broken

"You don't want me?" I whispered slowly.

"No."

That one word cut through me and ripped my heart to shreds. He didn't want me. He didn't love me.

"If it's not too much to ask," his face finally betrayed an emotion, it was concern, "promise that you won't do anything reckless," his face once again became the cold mask.

"For Charlie's sake," he added.

I nodded.

"And I promise you this. You will never see me again. It will be as if I never existed. You are free to live your life without any interference from me," he said.

"Please," I whispered.

"Goodbye Bella," he reached out and kissed my forehead. I squeezed my eyes shut and hoped that I would wake up from this nightmare.

I opened my eyes and he was gone.

"No," I sobbed.

Suddenly my chest felt like it was about to explode. I fell to my knees and gasped for air. I could barely breathe. My emotional pain had suddenly turned into physical pain. It felt like someone had injected hydrochloric acid straight into my heart and lungs.

Thunder suddenly roared louder than I thought was possible. A white light flashed in front of me, and I was pulled away into some sort of vision.

"NOOOO!" I screamed.

My fiancé, my soulmate, was gone. Murdered before my eyes.

I struggled to free myself but couldn't.

"HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME CAIUS? WHY?" I roared, tears streaming down my face.

"It was necessary Isobel," he said confidently. "If we can ever be together then I must remove bad influences such as him, from you."

I glared at him with murderous hate. I struggled again but it was useless.

"Let go of me!" I demanded.

"Felix, Demetri, let her go," Caius ordered.

I was released. I rushed to my love's dead body and threw myself on him and wept.

"Isobel, my love, it was necessary," he said in an attempt to sooth me.

I turned and spat in his face. He took a step back, his crimson eyes gleaming with rage, and then he slapped me. I glared up at him.

"Maybe after a few years in isolation you will finally learn to love me back. Say goodbye to your lover's corpse and let's go!" he said angrily.

Never! I could never love that demon even if he kept me in prison for eternity. There was only one way out of this.

I grasped the wooden handle of the stake in my fiancé's body and pulled it out. The metal of the stake still glowed red with the heat. Perfect.

I turned and faced Caius, still holding the red hot stake. Confusion was evident on his face. I brought the stake up to my chest and pointed it at my heart.

Realization suddenly dawned on Caius's face.

"I will return," I promised. I paused, and then added with a smirk, "To kill you."

I plunged the stake into my heart.

There was no pain. I had just suffered the greatest loss in the world. No pain could compare with that agony.

I welcomed the darkness that overtook me.

Please review guys. I'll love you forever if you do.
