Author's Note: This is my first Bella and Alec story. I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT! I wish I did, so that I could write more books, professionally for each character. PLEASE COMMENT! Thank you. Also, in Bella's first P.O.V what they say is from the movie, New Moon.

Preface:

I thought I would die. That all I knew to be, would end because of his departure. That my soul would be worthless now that I didn't have someone to take it. To trade it for love, and family, and eternal life. My expectations for my ending were so far from the actual end. But that was the thing about expectations, they could be proven wrong.

Bella's P.O.V

Today the Cullens weren't here. The day that I thought would center around redemption, the day after my birthday. I sat with Eric, Jessica, Mike, and Lauren, much to their benefit. They could hardly believe that the Cullen pet would be back in their inner circle. Let me tell you, so was I. My classes weren't the same without him there, to hold my hand, to whisper into my ear, to tell me how much he loved me and astound me with his quick witted smart humor.

The whole day I felt a emptiness in the pit of my stomach and a nasty bile sting my throat. Like when you knew something bad was going to happen in a old scary movie and you had to wait till the killer finally hacked the poor defenseless girl to pieces. Yeah, that was how I was feeling.

I drove back home in the truck. I didn't use the car stereo, it felt like I was betraying the old dinosaur by using it. I loved that Emmet cared enough to get me something, but I just couldn't do it. Instead I quietly hummed a Thom Yorke song that I had heard while Alice did my makeup for the party last night.

When I got to the house I spotted Edward standing in my front yard staring deeply at the ground. I sighed in relief, it was odd that they would be gone on a day that was cloudy. I slammed the rusty door to my truck closed, stuffed my hands into my overstuffed, parka like jacket, and walked over to him.

I tried giving him a small smile but he didn't smile back. My face deflated, I felt like sighing but didn't want to sound desperate. " Hey." I said quietly. He avoided eye contact, and I gulped. He turned his head towards the forest and spoke quietly, " Come and take a walk with me." He said. Now finally looking at me. He began walking, probably knowing I would follow. I stood there for a moment, considering what this could mean. It felt a bit like dejauvu, remembering how it was me who had him following me to the woods to talk. Whatever it is has to be important, I finally concluded, and began walking behind him at the slow pace.

We walked until we stopped in a small open patch of dirt, encircled by trees. Edward turned slightly and glared at the ground, as if battling with himself about saying what he was going to say. He turned towards me, " We have to leave Forks." He said, cutting a knife through the heavy silence. " Why?" I asked. " Carlisle's supposed to look ten years older then he looks, people are starting to notice." He answered. I felt a heavy wait crash onto me. This was so sudden, I would be leaving it all behind. But this was what I had to do, he was to precious to lose.

" Okay, I, I've got to think up something to say to Charlie." I looked up at him expectingly. He didn't answer, and that's when I started to panic. Did he mean all of us, or just him and his family? It couldn't be, he loves me. No, no, it can't be, it, it just can't.

I felt my lungs start to close a bit, and my body becoming weaker. " When you say we…" I asked as calmly as possible. " I mean my family and myself." He stated in a deadpan voice, finally looking in my eyes. I searched them, hoping that this was all just some horrible twisted prank, that he was only lying, but all I could see in those topaz eyes was emptiness. I felt myself beginning to shake and my eyes watering up. " Edward, what happened with Jasper, it's nothing." I tried to reason with him. " Your right, ' he said,' it was nothing. Nothing but what I always expected… And nothing, compared to what could have happened." He paused and his eyebrows scrunched together as though he was trying to figure out what to say next, or how to put it. " You just don't belong in my world Bella." He said.

We stood there for a moment, as I came to face what was happening, he was leaving, leaving me. No. I couldn't allow it. But if only my voice was as strong as my mind. " I belong with you." Was what I said. " No, you don't." He said. God! Why was he so stubborn. I couldn't take it anymore, he was being stubborn and stupid, we were soul mates and we would be together. " I'm coming." I said with force.

He looked at me with something I had never really seen directed at me. Anger. And it scared me almost as much as what he said next. " Bella, I don't want you to come." I felt my heartbreak at his words, the cracks just appearing. I couldn't believe it, after all that we had gone through, he didn't want me. " You don't, want me?" I said, coming out more as a statement then a question. Cause really, who was I to think that someone as perfect as him, would want someone as plain as me? He looked at me intensely, his mouth in a tight line. " No." He said.

I felt something eating away at me, I couldn't believe what was happening, though enough to speak. " That changes things, a lot." I half whispered more to myself then to Edward. I couldn't believe how calm I was being. " But if it's not to much to ask, can you just promise me something?" He asked. All I could do was sputter, which he took as a go ahead. " Don't do anything reckless; for Charlie's sake. And I'll promise something to you in return. This is the last time you will ever see me. I won't come back. And you can go on with your life, without any interference from me. It'll be like… I never even existed, I promise." He said. I shook my head over and over, as though it were some bad nightmare I could eventually wake up from. His words angered me so much I couldn't help but burst. " If this is about my soul. Take it, I don't want it without you!" I yelled. " It's not about your soul. You're just not good for me." He said.

" Not good enough for you." I corrected him. " I'm just sorry I let this go on for so long." He said.

I was then past arguing and on to begging. " Please," I whispered, " Don't."

" Goodbye." He said.

I felt my body shake and the earth turn. He slowly walked up and kissed me on the forehead. My eyes closed as I felt his presence till it was gone. I called his name once, hoping to try and talk to him one last time, he didn't answer. I kept calling his name, and I stupidly ran after him. Hoping to God that he would come back. I tripped and stumbled only a few times, it was surprising how less clumsy I am when determined.

I searched until it turned night, when the crickets chirped a almost disturbing melody to my sad tail. I finally broke down as I realized that he wasn't coming back. I tripped on a branch and fell to the forest floor. I couldn't make myself move so I curled into a ball and weeped. The pain in my chest had turned into a festering hole. It felt like someone had drilled a hole into my heart and dubbed out their cigarette in it. I was done, broken and would be forever. He was my only plan, the only thing that mattered and meant anything to me, and now he was gone.

Alec's P.O.V

We had been watching Isabella and the Cullens for a few days now, orders from master Aro though I obliged without a problem. We had heard of the Cullens and the girl days ago from a vampire named Victoria. She told the leaders about how Isabella was a pet of the Cullens. How her mate, a comrade, and herself came upon them to discover the human girl as they were playing baseball. James, as she called her mate, started chasing after Isabella when he found out that the mind reader known as Edward Cullen could not read her mind, easily intrigued. When he found her the Cullens killed him. She said she wanted revenge on them for killing her mate and felt that we should know since they broke the law by telling a human of our kind. Aro fancied the idea of a human girl who was immune to certain powers.

After reading the Victoria he decided to investigate the girl for a new member of the family. He of course, had Vicoria killed finding out that she had also broken the law. Aro showed us what the girl looked like using the power to show people some of the visions he sees from other's minds. A power that has been kept at great lengths to keep secret. The second I saw the Isabella though I was bestowed. She had long, curly, mahogany hair, deep brown eyes, with pale white skin and the complexion of a porcelain doll. As images of her went by I knew it, she was my soulmate, the person I was to be with.

This connection was rare between vampires let alone vampires and humans. Even just looking at her picture I knew she was mine. My mate, my lover, my soulmate. I smiled when I saw her smiling at the carmel haired women named Esme, her hair was in a ponytail underneath a baseball cap, it was cute. I growled though when I saw her in the arms of the mind reader Edward, his arms were rapped around her waist as she cuddled into his chest. That should be me, not him. I thought, she was mine, well she would be mine. I knew Aro would keep her as a guard, her power would be of great use to us.

When he had finished the slideshow for us he, along with the rest of the guard set me with fixed confused stares. Obviously hearing my loud growls. I looked at Marcus, knowing he would see the connection I had with the girl. He fixed me with a knowing look and soft smile. Something he had never done towards me. When Aro hear the news he was absolutely thrilled, saying that she would definitely become a Volturi. He practically shouted the news to the rest of the guard. Their shock to say the least was, noticeable.

My sister on the other hand looked very unhappy, saying that it was disgusting that I was to be with a human, which was countered with the fact that she would become a vampire. When she was not convinced I told her about my happiness, and how I loved her and wouldn't be happy till she was mine. Grudgingly she accepted it much to my satisfaction.

We traveled from Volterra, Italy to Forks, Washington in a day, Felix, Demetri, Jane, and I. I had been restless knowing that the love of my life was only so far away. When we finally got there I had made sure to get this done as quickly as possible, to wait for the exact moment when we could take her.

The sight though was unbearable, during her school hours I watched as she and the Cullen whispered to each other and held hands. After school was the hardest, during the afternoon they would go to a small meadow and supposedly do work as they were really kissing. It took Felix and Demetri holding me back and a threat from Jane to keep me from ripping Edward to pieces. Though nothing was as bad as in the night, when they would lay in bed talking and kissing, getting so close to the unmentionable that I had to leave to clear my head. This had led also to Felix becoming blind, death, and ultimately paralyzed at night.

On the night of her birthday roused alarm when the youngest Cullen, Jasper, attempted to attack Isabella, or Bella as they called her, after getting a paper cut. I had to again be restrained for two reasons, one because she was bleeding and her blood was extremely appealing to me, and two because of my animalistic instincts to protect her. After that night when the Cullens and Bella parted I took surveillance of Bella while the other three watched over the Cullens after hearing something about leaving.

That night Bella was alone as she slept and I couldn't help myself, I climbed through her window and lied next to her as she slept. It had felt amazing to be so close to her. She smelled of roses and cotton, sweet and clear, something my lungs haven't tasted in years. Her warmth seemed to evaporate as it surrounded me like my own personal beam of light.

In the morning Demetri, Felix, and Jane told me of the Cullens plan and how Edward was going to break up with Bella. We decided then would be the best time to take Bella. As we waited in the woods I was buzzing with excitement, I felt like a young boy on Christmas about to open presents. Though when Edward broke up with Bella I couldn't help but feel sadness and rage. She had looked so broken, I couldn't help but mourn for my mate. Rage was felt for when Edward had stomped on her heart, when he broke her.

She followed him though he was already long away. It wasn't until nightfall that she gave up and fell to the floor in sobs. This was where I was.

I sat crouched in a nearby tree with Demetri, Jane, and Felix, watching my love pass into sleep. This was it. " We are taking her now." I said and jumped down from the tree, the other following at my heels. I kneeled down next to her sleeping form, her face was emotionless yet highlighted by the silver moon's beams. Making her look like an angel. I place my hand against her cheek and gently rubbed it. I relished in the feeling of her warmth. The warmth I would have, my warmth, my personal light, that is until she is turned of course.

" Are we just going to sit here and stare at her or are we going to move? We haven't got all night you know, this is the best opportunity we have since she's asleep. I honestly don't want to deal with the hysterics." Jane spoke, breaking my trance of warmth. I shot her a heated glare.

" Jane, if you don't mind I would like it if you just left me alone. I'm finally going to be with my mate and I don't need you useless whining." I snapped. She just glared. I looked back at Bella. Jane still didn't like my love for Bella, she only gained a soft spot for her after what happened with Edward. She felt bad for what he did to her. I sighed and picked her up with ease. I turned back to the three. " Let's go, I want to get her on the plane while she is still asleep." I ordered. Felix gave me a wry grin. " You're dating a cougar, nice. She's got younger men falling all over her." He joked. " Shut up Felix." I said and walked past him. " Whatever you say man." He said and followed along with Demetri and Jane as we ran back to the plane where we would leave back to Volterra. Me with the love of my life, my Bella.
