So I've recently started writing again, however this is an old story that I just edited like crazy as I'm pretty sure I was 11 when I first wrote it. I'm hoping my re-write makes it more bearable for you guys :) I hope you review and let me know what you think and if you have any ideas as to where this should go, as even though the rest of it is finished, I'm open to ideas to help. So without further ado, enjoy!

What Happened to Goodbye?

When Edward leaves Bella for her own good, she is left vulnerable. Victoria finds her and does the one thing Edward has tried to avoid from the beginning, changing Bella into a vampire. When Bella awakes from her change she discovers she has more power than she had ever imagined.

'Your past is always your past. Even if you forget it, it remembers you.'

Chapter 1- Be safe

I'm not entirely sure how long I've been lying on the cold hard ground. The dampness of the grass started seeping into my clothes long ago, leaving them now completely wet and sticking to my damp skin. I can't feel or see anything that surrounds me. It's been all just blank. With the small exception of the searing red-hot pain that courses through my veins. It's like fire. I wish I were dead. Anything would be better then to continue to lay here, hopeless and weak, unable to move or even scream for help.

I never should have come here. I was just asking for trouble like always. Everyone knows that a klutz like myself shouldn't be roaming the woods by myself; I'm bound to get into trouble one way or another. I knew that when they left, that I was completely vulnerable if any of the Nomad's came looking for me, yet I still thought it a wonderful idea to go off hiking on my own. Brilliant Bella. I begin to think back to the day that left my future with no hope. The day that he left me in the woods, the dreadful words he spoke, haunting me, playing in my head over and over.

We were in our meadow, lying in each other's arms like usual. I snuggled into Edward, enjoying the feel of his body close to mine. I just wished I knew that he was actually just savoring the very last moments we had before he ripped us apart. I should have seen it coming. He was distant and the rest of the Cullens' were virtually non-existent. When I questioned him as to why I hadn't seen them in a week he would change the subject or just ignore me.

I looked up at him as he just stared at the sky, emotionless.

"What is going on Edward?"

"Hmm?" He doesn't even look at me.

"Why are you acting so strange and out of it? And where are the others? It never takes them this long to hunt." I questioned him yet again. He said nothing in return, but released a slight sly.

My heart ached at the thought of him keeping something from me. All I wanted was for things to be normal again. I felt the tears slowly gather but I blinked them away, refusing to show any sign of weakness. I sat up, looking at him expectantly.

"Edward." I said. He got up too, looking at me in the eye, and suddenly I didn't want to know the answer.

"Bella, we're leaving."

"Now? But I thought we were waiting until I graduated?" I asked, confused.

He sighed. " Bella. You're not coming. It's just us. You're staying here, with Charlie and Jacob."

His words played in my head, like a CD on repeat. I didn't understand. Why would they want to leave me here?

"W..What? Why? I'll come now, it's no big deal. I'll just tell Charlie that I'm finishing school with Mum in Jacksonville or something."

"No Bella." Sigh. "I have to go, I'm sorry. It's not safe for us to stay here" He got up to leave. I quickly jumped up too, grabbing his arm and pulling him to face me. I couldn't let them leave. I couldn't let him leave. I needed them all. I would die without him. I thought back to a week ago, my birthday. Jasper tried to attack me when I cut my finger, but nothing happened. The boys stopped him and he left. I was safe and alive. Nothing happened.

"Wait! Please don't go… don't you love me? What happened with Jasper, it… it isn't a big deal. I'm live aren't I?" I practically began to beg. "You can change me! And it won't be an issue for anyone anymore. We can live together forever, Edward." I reached for his hand but he pulled it away. He sighed yet again, seemingly irritated this time.

"You can not make me stay Bella. I'm leaving. I don't want this anymore okay? I'm sorry."

His words hit me like a ton of bricks. He doesn't want it anymore. Of course. I mean, from day one I had always questioned how such a beautiful thing could ever possibly love me. I thought maybe I'd hit the jackpot. But no, I was right, he didn't love me. I wasn't worth him.

I shudder in a breath, taken aback. "You… you don't want me." It wasn't a question, but the truth.

"Be safe. Please Bella." And with that he's gone. I blinked. It was almost like none of it had ever happened. But the burning pain in my chest told me otherwise. He was gone… forever. I wanted him to come back so I could yell at him and tell him he had no control over me. I wanted to tell him he broke his promise to never leave; I wanted to hate him. But I couldn't. Because every single part of me loved him, and there wasn't anything I could do about it. I was just a pathetic human, a toy for entertainment. I was just there to pass the time. He never loved me, how could he?

I hadn't realized that my efforts to stop my tears from flowing had failed. My cheeks were cold and damp, the slight breeze stung their cold surface. I suddenly realized that if I was going to lose him, I wanted to at least say goodbye. I began to walk through the maze of woods, having no clue as to where I was, but knew I couldn't stop. I just couldn't.

"Edward!? Where are you? Please, come back." I called through the woods hopelessly.

I walked for hours upon hours, calling and calling until my voice was hoarse and my legs ached. I stopped. I was no longer crying, I felt frustrated that he had the power to just leave me there, stunned and unable to say anything. He ruined my last chance to say anything by leaving, I wished he had giving me time to process.

"I may not be you're precious Edward, but I'm here too." The ring of a familiarly unwanted voice travelled through the air. I spun around, looking for the source, and in all her glory, there she was, seated on a low branch in a tree to my right. She looked exactly the same; Crazy locks of golden hair surrounded her flawless face. She was like a predator about to pounce on its prey, however she looked elegant all the while.

"Victoria."

She smirked at me as she jumped down onto the ground in front of me, her bare feet landing in the soft grass.

"What a pleasure to find you here, young Bella. Wandering the woods all alone, no Cullen to be found. Am I right?" She grinned. I wanted to smack the smile right from her face, but then she'd know that she got to me. I had to play it cool.

"Fancy that. Is there something I can help you with?"

"Well you see. I came here, searching for you actually. As you know, your Cullen killed my James. And of course I want revenge. However, I did a little thinking and I don't believe killing you is enough."

"So what? You'll just torture me and videotape it? Just like James did? How original." I pretend to play tough and roll my eyes. Inside I swallowed deep, and hoped her answer was not going to be yes. I'd rather her just kill me quickly, what else do I have to lose right?

"Hmm, I do like that idea, but like you said… not very original right?" She laughed. "No I was thinking more along the lines of making you suffer for eternity. I do recall that was the one thing Cullen hated the idea of most. So this way, he will never get to have him precious human Bella, and you'll suffer alone forever. Seems like a win win situation to me." I decided this was just about the best time to escape if the was any. I knew I had just about no chance but I wasn't ready to just give up. Also I quietly thought that maybe if I irritated her enough she just might kill me.

"You're just some slut who got used by some crazy vampire who didn't give two shit about you. Edward loves me, we can be happy no matter what our situation is because that's what love is. So screw you, Victoria. In all reality, you'll be the one alone forever, no one will ever want a useless thing like you." I lied the best I could.

"Oh… is that so?" She growled, obviously pissed off. Before I could even blink she had me in a strong hold, biting down on my neck. I screamed and screamed, but no one came to help.

She pulled away, dropping my almost lifeless body to the ground.

"See you in hell bitch." And with that she was gone. And I was left to scream and writhe on the ground in pain. I was changing, and there was nothing I could do about it.

The fire begins to ease; I can breath. I feel the touch of grass on my fingertips, cold and slightly spiky. I feel the cold wind brushing its fingertips across my body, refreshingly cool compared to the red-hot fire that coursed over me only moments ago. I can hear the whisper of the tree's as the wind trails through the leaves. I open my eyes and I can see everything. I finally understand what Edward had always said about the clarity of being a vampire and having every sense multiplied. It was amazing… it was beautiful.

Okay so there you have it. First chapter! Let me know what you think, as anything is appreciated. I hope to get this story's chapters out weekly, or even two per week, depending on how the response is. Thank you, for taking the time to read and review, I hope you enjoyed it.
