This is definatly not a one shot. I don't really like one shots alot because they're really quick, or some of them are at least. This is a story about how Bella has not become a vampire and never will become one. Edward comes back from college and Victoria attacks them during their happy reunion.


It was the longest day of the year. The sun was high up in the sky. It was the twenty first of June and it was the day that I dreaded about. Edward would be coming back from Dartmouth anytime now.

I was walking at a brisk pace, hoping that I wouldn't find somebody stalking me just like all of the other not so normal days.

My walk finally came to an end in front of a very strange car. One that I had seen before. It was Edward's volvo. He would be waiting for me, waiting for the right moment to show his face to me again.

After Edward had left, and agonizing pain appeared in my heart. One that would never let the image of Edward slip away.

I saw something move from the corner of my eye. the object moved quickly with a movement that a human eye could not see. I knew at that moment that it was a human, or was it?

Something tapped me on the shoulder with one quick movement and quickly fell away from it. The one moment of touch felt different and cold.

"Edward?" my voice whispered in a voice that no human would be able to hear, no matter how close they were to me.

A burst of emotions ran into me with a quick jerk. A tear ran down my face bringing back many memories. A cool hand moved to my face, wiping the tear away.

"Edward?" my voice repeated with a moment of hesitation.

"I'm here." he said, his voice full of emotion.

I looked up and our eyes met for the first time in about a year. His eyes were topaz, the usual when he was happy about something. He smiled his crooked smile at me and my face quickly fell between my knees.

"What's wrong?" he asked me, his voice full of worry.

"You." is the only thing that I could manage out between sobs.

His face turned from happy to depressed and worried.

"You don't love me anymore, do you?" he said, waiting for me to make my response.

"I do love you, really I do. It's just I have not seen you for a year." I said, still with my head between my knees. I was worried about what Edward would say about me. Did he still love me as much as I did him?

"Alice told me that you were attacked by Laurent while I was away."

Yes he did attack me, but it was my fault. I went there while he was hunting. the werewolves came and saved my life, probably because Jacob was following me and knew what I was doing at just about every single second of my life." I said to him, hoping that he would understand where I was going with our first conversation in a year.

"Did he hurt you?" Edward asked me, anxious for my answer.

"Almost." I said. I knew that he would want me to explain everything that happened to me while he was away.

A twig snapped from inside the small forest by my house and a growl sounded. Was it another vampire or was it a werewolf?

Topaz eyes appeared from the other side of a tree. The sun shined right where the dark figure stood. It was definitely a vampire, but it didn't look like one that I had met before. It was Victoria and she was waiting for the right moment, when I was alone, to attack me and finally bring a close to my life. Was I ready for what was about to happen to me.

Edward quickly drew me closer and closer to him. His lips finally met mine and we kissed passionately. Would he rip away from me like he had all of those other times before? After a few moments I was gasping for air. He finally let me go.

"Bella, I love you more than I have anything else in my life." he said hoping that there would be a reaction to what he just said to me.

My eyes were wide with terror. Victoria had creeped closer and closer to where Edward and I were. She stood just behind Edward, ready to attack him. I had to warn Edward that Victoria was behind him, didn't I. Edward was mine and I wasn't going to let him go. At least not without a fight.

"Move Edward." I said yelling at the top of my lungs. Victoria lunged at Edward with one movement. Edward moved quickly out of Victoria's way, pulling me with him.

There was no way for us to escape. No way to get away from what was about to happen.

Victoria had made a lung at me while I wasn't looking. Edward had also not know about the unexpected attack. Victoria pushed Edward and I apart from each other. Edward, now, had no way of protecting me. I was totally vulnerable.
