50 years later

(i do not own twilight. my idol, stephenie meyer does.)

EPOV

the news hit me hit a wall. a cold, lifeless, helpless wall. i just wish that she knew that i still loved her.

the day i left my poor bella made me emotionally and physically distressed for the next 50 years. because it wasnt until 50 years later that the news had reached me about her passing.

at least when she was alive i knew that i could always go back to forks to see her. but now, if i went to forks, i would only be reminded of the terrible thing that i did to her. but now, there was really no point in living.

ive had my backup plan sitting around for the past 50 years. i considered it often, but i never wished it would happen.

right now, i was sitting in a plane on my way to italy. my whole life with bella was glancing infront of my eyes. i would do anything to make more memories just like those.

i was interrupted my the pilot giving us a speech.

'we have now reached cruising altitude. you are free to move about the cabin.' said the calm sounding pilot. yeah, easy enough for him to be calm. as he said that, a few people got out of there seats to do who-knows-what. my eyes wandered to a couple sitting across the isle of me. they were holding hands and talking to each other like bella and i used to. they looked happy. oh, how i longed to be happy.

my fantasies were punctured by the stewardess.

"hello sir, my name is annie. i was wondering if you needed anything." she said in a soft voice. she tucked a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear.

"no, thank you." i said as i tried to be polite. i really really didnt feel like talking right now. the stewardess' friendly smile neutralized as she turned and walked to the next row.

'what was his problem?' i could hear her think. it didnt phase me. i just kept staring at the seat infront of me and tried not to think about bella's cold lifeless body sitting underground.

i hoped that alice didnt see me decide to commit suicide. but if she did, i would have to do this quickly. if i didn't, well, i dont know what else i could do.

my thoughts streamed through my mind like this the entire flight. at the airport in italy, i pretty much ran just to get to volterra faster. i didn't even bother with a car. i just ran and ran.

i slowed down to a human speed as i approached the city of volterra.

for a normal human, the streets of volterra would be a treachurous climb. but for me, it was a breeze. i have seen steeper.

volterra was normal. no huge crowds, but not too little crowds. i had slowed down to a walk at this point. i wanted to seem normal. but then again, what is normal? the world may never know.

i approached the huge castle in which my death would soon take place. i was about to open the huge metal door that hid the volturi's secrets, but felix opened the door for me.

"edward! what a wonderful suprise." he purred.

"hello felix." i replied. my voice seemed lifeless. i pushed past him and into the magnificent building.

"now, what brings you here to italy today?" he asked. i could tell that he was at least making an effort to make conversation, but it was pathetic.

"i have just been informed that my mate has died." i informed him. i kept my chin up and kept walking. i knew exactly where to go. there was a map of the whole city in any of the vampire's heads. they didnt know they were thinking anout where to walk, they were just absentmindedly thinking where to go.

"oh, thats terrible. hopefully your sorrows will be lightened if you joined us."he purred.

'oh, yes your sorrows will definetely be relieved if you join us. im sure you will move on.' felix thought. i immidietely stopped in my tracks.

" what do you mean i will move on? i loved her. theres no women to compare to my bella." i growled. i let my body relax as i continued forward.

'never mind.' he thought. i just let it go. normally, i wouldnt have. but today i was in no mood for arguing.

we had gone out of the elevator, and were approaching a set of doors twice as big as emmett.

"are you sure you want to do this?" felix asked me. i knew that felix was no mind reader, so he must have guessed why i was here.

i ignored him and pushed through the doors.

7 vampires stood before me. only 6 had their hoods on their cloaks pulled down.

to my left stood demitri, jane, and alec. then in the middle, there was aro, marcus, and caius. a cloaked figure stood next to aro's throne.

i don't know why, or how, but i vaguely recognized the figure next to aro.
