Have you ever had those dreams, where you see something you badly want but you just can't have it?
Have you ever had those dreams that that thing you wanted so badly was right next to you, but you couldn't move to get it?
I have. Plenty of times. But to me, it's different. Not a dream. A memory.
"Edward, no!" I choked out. Two of the Volturi were holding me back. They're grip was tight against my arms, even though I was a vampire. I struggled to get out, but I just couldn't.
Aro walked forward. I wanted to close my eyes, but I couldn't. I was going to witness the whole thing, wasn't I?
He leaned down and bit Edward in the neck. He screamed in agony. Aro bit him again and again and again, until the screaming stopped and his body collapsed to the floor.
"Edward!" I yelled. I snapped myself back to attention. I was in 'my' room. The room that used to be 'his'. I hadn't been sleeping, but I had been daydreaming. No, I couldn't have, that was daynightmaring. A horrible memory.
"Why, Edward?" I whispered. He was gone, I thought, stop mourning over it!
But I knew I would never stop thinking about him. Never. He was gone, but he would remain with me in my memory.
He had killed Jane and Alec. He had done it out of anger. For me. But that ended up in his death. Aro had killed him because he killed Jane and Alec because they hurt me by attacking me for the fun of it with their powers while I let Edward read my mind. I had started it all.
Esme walked into the room, as she did every morning. She sat next to me on the couch, and rubbed my back soothingly.
"It's okay, Bella." She said repeatedly. "It's okay."
After I got over it, I walked downstairs to the rest of my family. They were all watching TV, as usual. Except for Carlisle.
"Where's Carlisle?" I asked
"Outside, he said he heard something." Jasper mumbled.
"Probably just an animal." I said, and sat in an empty chair.
The door burst open with Carlisle standing in it. He looked panicked.
"What?" I asked.
"Edward... outside." He said.
"What?" I asked in amazement.
"He's alive!" Carlisle moved out of the way and Edward walked in.
