Prologue

She was dying; I knew it. I felt the rise of panic as my feet hit the pavement. I ran though the streets of Tuscany shoving the citizens out of my way; regretting all the time that I had wasted, and now she'll never know how much I'll love her, how our forever was just beginning. I reached the castle I could hear her screaming in agony. I felt the pain that was dormant for long; I stopped running for the pain I felt the fear of loss, of her life stopping as mine would go on forever. I heard her screams again and felt a new fire. A flame that I would make sure would never rest for her.

I entered the castle and found the Volturi standing prim and proper watching at the destruction of her take place. Aro gazing at her like a prize, turned his crimson eyes to me. His neutral face turned into a slow smile. "It seems we have company, come brother join us for our feeding." The rest of the leaders turned their attention to me, as the rage flowing through my body was becoming uncontrollable.

"Let her go!" I raged.

"Well brother I'm afraid we can't you see the law that has been set about loving this disgusting mortal! As well even if we did let her go she's seen too much; and besides…she makes a beautiful platter for that succulent blood of hers. I'm surprised you've held onto your control for this long, it's simply…fascinating."

"Let. Her Go!"

"Oh dear…" He sighed. "Felix…could you please help our brother understand what must be done."

Felix lunged at me with his arms stretched. I quickly dodged his attack as he pounded his fist into the marble pillar which cracked under the force. As he turned around I had the opportunity to deliver a quick punch to his cheek, and in victory I saw it crack. I was about to give him another punch as he quickly grabbed my fist and gripped hard as he tossed me in the air and into the steps at the Volturi's feet. I could feel the chunks of marble impale my skin. I felt the agony course through me and heard the sharp crack of my jaw almost mirroring Felix's fracture along his face. Before I had time to execute my next jab Felix grabbed my arm and wrenched it behind me putting me in a kneeling position, and grabbed my throat with his other hand. I felt the cracks rip throughout my body and I grit my teeth in order to not cry out in pain.

"Oh God! Please no!" I heard her scream. But that plea was soon replaced with the cry of her own pain.

"No! Bella!" I cried as I felt my body start to give out.

"C- Ca- Carl-Carlisle!"
