Hope for the Hopeless

"You can't, Bella. Where we're going…It's not the right place for you?"

"Where you are is the right place for me."

"I'm no good for you, Bella"

"Don't be ridiculous." I wanted to sound angry, but it just sounded like I was begging. "You're the very best part of my life.'

"My world is not for you," he said grimly.

"What happened with Jasper-that was nothing, Edward! Nothing!"

"You're right," he agreed. "It was exactly what was to be expected."

"You promised! In phoenix, you promised that you would stay-"

"As long as that was best for you," he interrupted to correct me.

"No! This is about my soul, isn't it?" I shouted, furious, the words exploding out of me- somehow it still sounded like a plea. "Carlisle told me about that, and I don't care, Edward. I don't care! You can have my soul. I don't want it without you- it's yours already!"

He took a deep breath and stared, unseeingly, at the ground for a long moment. His mouth twisted the tiniest bit. When he finally looked up, his eyes were different, harder- like the liquid gold had frozen solid.

"Bella, I don't want you to come with me." He spoke the words slowly and precisely, his cold eye on my face, watching as I absorbed what he was really saying.

There was a pause as I repeated the words in my head a few times, sifting through them for their real intent.

"You…Don't…Wa-" I Instantly froze. There was a firey red blowing in the distance. A pale face, bright red eyes, a smug smile.

Victoria.
