A/N: Wrote by Elena McVoy. This is the first chapter but it sort of serves as an introduction also. I hope you enjoy feel free to comment structured criticism is greatly appreciated.

As Edward Boarded the plan he felt an array of different emotions, he was proud of himself that he was capable of making Bella believe that he didn't love her anymore, yet hurt that she would actually believe that he had stopped loving her. He was glad he wouldn't be hurting her anymore, but pained by the fact that he had caused her so much harm and that he had to break her heart in order to stop doing so. Above all it had absolutely killed him that he would never see her again.

As he sat on the plane he was so sick with himself he almost considered going into the cockpit and killing both the pilot and the copilot and flying the plane himself straight to Italy and skipping a painful life in Rio completely, but it wouldn't do him any good. He had not yet schemed up a plan to peeve of the Volturi enough for them to order their servants to hunt him down and kill him. He wished he could just commit suicide but being a vampire it wouldn't be as simple as a gun shot to the head to kill him. In order for him to be dead his body would have to be ripped to a million pieces and burned. Just like he and his family had done to James in order to protect Bella from him. Great now he was thinking of Bella again but he really knew he had never stopped thinking of her and he never would. She was his soul mate and he knew it.

As the sky grew darker and darker he tried to fake sleep so as not to scare the flight attendant when she noticed all the other "humans" where fast asleep and he was not. But try as he might he was not capable of pretending to be catching those zzz's that he would never been able to catch since 1918 and for that matter never again. All he was capable of doing was thinking about that sleepy little town in Washington where Bella would be in bed by now but instead of being fast asleep or trying to stay awake until he snuck in she would be crying her self to sleep tonight wondering why he didn't love her any more and what she had done. But what she had done was believe the lie that he didn't love her anymore one of the few things that Edward would never be capable of.

So somehow despite his pain and to his disbelief Edward survived the plane ride and everyone who boarded the plan in Washington was still alive when the plane landed in Rio. As he exited the plane he devised a plan, consisting of four steps. One make it to luggage pick up and retrieve all five suit cases that Alice had sent him with caring enough designer clothes and shoes to last him 2 months. That was the limit that Esme had given her forcing Edward to visit her and the rest of his adopted family because Esme couldn't live much longer with out him and Alice would come and get him herself if she ever saw a vision that Edward wore the same outfit twice or an outfit that she had not coordinated. Two find the nearest car dealership and steal a car. Three use that car to get as far from human life as possible. Last but not least go hunting his thirst was absolutely killing him he knew he should have never let it get so out of control but he had needed to get away from Bella and Forks and quick.

Next we find Edward in a cave in the country side just back from a day filled with hunting he had managed to kill and drink every drop of blood from two brown bears and three mountain lions. Now back in the cave his mind once again focused totally on Bella now that his thirst was no longer there to distract him she was all he could think of. He convinced him self if he wrote letters to her and just never sent them he could tell her that he still loved her and all ways would he could pretend that she had move on and would never reply and he could actually forget about her a little.
