Prologue

The rain was heavy. Heavier than any normal day. It poured and poured, like the clouds were crying. Mourning over me. Mourning for me. Mourning with me. My long brown hair clung to my curled body as it shuddered in the cold wet air. I whimpered as I felt the cold wind blow against me, I hugged my knees tighter to my chest and gulped. My eyes were open, they were always open. Where was I? I did not know. I could not see clearly. My eyes were heavy and with the cold droplets of rain stinging against my face they almost fell closed. Almost.

"Bella!" I heard a shout from behind me. I did not turn around to see who. I knew. Who else would it be?

"S..stay…a…away…y.." I whispered with difficulty. I could not tell if my voice was shaky from my weeping or the cold.

I felt something wrap around my shoulders. A blanket? A jacket? "God! You must be so cold!" whatever it was that was wrapped around me was pulled tighter around me, as if trying to keep me warm.

I tried again in a more pronounced voice, "Stay a…ah..away…" I refused to meet the eyes that I knew very well would be concerned.

"What? Bella? What's going on?"

My eyes burned and with the expected pain my blood fumed. "Leave!"

Silence. For minutes…Maybe hours there was nothing but the sound of the rain falling on the wet ground…mud…leaves. Was I in a forest?

I felt a hand on my arm, squeezing it, rubbing it, trying to keep me warm. The cold was the least of my problems. "Can we just get you inside where it's warm then we'll discuss what is the meaning of this?" The voice pleaded.

My voice was bleak, "There is…s no…d…discussion….you.. n…need to leave…ve."

"Why?! Why Bella? If you give me one good reason, I'll leave right away."

Another silence. But this one was heavier than the first. This one was harder. Even though I could barely feel anything, I could feel this. I could feel the horror of the reality that I knew and which he didn't. How it closed on my chest and tightened my throat. The reality that left me awake in bed at night, in fear of what might happen. The reality that I have to save him from.

I turned my head slowly as if I could escape the inevitable and whispered clearly as I stared directly into his worried green eyes, "Because I do not want to kill you too, Edward."

His eyes widened and his gasp was loud even in the rain. "You….you do not mean that." He whispered disbelievingly, shaking his head. Denying even the thought.

I kept my gaze and voice even, my face emotionless. "No. I do."

My heart broke as I saw in his face how he noted the seriousness of my voice. "But…why?"

I turned my even gaze into a glare, "Leave!" My voice was low but it scared me. His eyebrows furrowed and his eyes filled with tears that I knew he would never shed in front of me.

As I saw the pain twist on his face I saw the resolution. He wasn't going anywhere. I felt my throat close, refusing to ever say the following words……but it had to be said. He has to be warned.

"If not for you then for your sister. I do not want her dead, Edward." I could not meet his gaze when I said this. It was a good think that the rain was so heavy, that way he couldn't tell that the drops on my face were actually tears. I'm sorry. I love you!

"No! No! No!" First it started as a whisper but it became louder till he was shouting. He took my face in his hands and lifted my face, forcing me to meet his desperate eyes. "No, Bella. These are not your words. Please tell me the truth. This is not you. Please." His plea was broken and his tears mingled with the rain causing the pain in my chest to tighten. I tried to escape his gaze, staring at his wet bronze hair that appeared darker while wet and clinging to his face but he kept bring my gaze back to his.

"Leave, Edward!" I saw it in his, he noticed the warning in my tone. He knew I wasn't joking. But a part of me begged him not to listen. Please don't, please stay. You're the only one I have left. But I did not let that part announce it's presence. Yes, he was the only one I had left and for that he must leave. I kept my face emotionless as I tried to stop my eyes from conveying my pleading side to him.

He started shaking as he felt it all coming to an end. I knew because I felt it too. I could feel my soul leaving my body cold and dead. Nothing was left, no one was left. His hands slowly fell from my face and I couldn't stop my fingers from reaching a little to touch his. He froze and stared at my face.

Don't leave! Please don't! But for once, Edward did not do as I secretly wished. He stood up and whispered, "Goodbye Bella. I love you!" I closed my eyes and let out a breath I did not know I'd been keeping. I closed my eyes not seeking sleep as I always did, but to block away the image of him walking away. That was a picture that I did not want to have carved in my head. Let my last memory of him be his last words. I heard his footsteps as he backed away slowly. Walking out of my life forever. And leaving me for the shadow of loneliness to do whatever it wished with me. I was in the shadows hands now and there was nothing I could do about it.

My held back sobs broke free as I allowed my head to fall on the wet mud. I wrapped myself with what I had left from him. His jacket, filled with the scent of his cologne. I breathed in the scent as I whispered.

"G..Goodbye, Edward…d. I love…you…t…too."
