Time Traveling Revelations

I've finally gotten a full story length idea and here it is! I don't own Twilight.

Leading her into the sinister and desolate forest to say the heartbreaking and false words, which would divide us forever were almost impossible for me to even utter but I knew that I had to do it if I wanted to salvage her life, if she meant anything to me. How I wished that I could turn around with her grasped tightly in my arms and live eternity with her but that would be undeniably selfish of me and I owed her that much, being the deplorable person I am. I knew her sadness over my sudden absence would be a tiny pinprick to the anguish I would experience. But her happiness was valued over mine and she deserved a better life then the one I could offer her. I wanted to walk forever with her by my side and stare at her impassive face forever but I knew that I had to stop here, at the end of the path and deliver the unbearable news. I tried to wipe my face of all emotion so the lies would come easily and she would believe them if she didn't accept my goodbye, which I was certain of.

"Okay, let's talk" She turned to face me, her face perplexed but somehow accepting. Did she already know of my plans? If so then why was she taking it all so coolly? My eyes were intent on her face as I answered. I didn't want to miss a second of looking at her face in the limited time I had with her but tried not to show it.

"Bella, we're leaving." I said the words that would break me. She took a deep breath but astonishingly still looked calm and collected. Maybe I doubted her feelings for me. My heart sank at those thoughts.

"Why now? Another year" She asked, clearly not understanding the meaning behind my words. Ah that was it, she thought she was coming with us. Oh Bella, how I wish you were coming with me.

"Bella, it's time. How much longer could we stay in Forks, after all? Carlisle can barely pass for thirty, and he's claiming thirty-three now. We'd have to start over regardless" Her expression was still bewildered so I decided to give her a cold hint by staring back indifferently as if she mattered nothing to me at all. Once again I wished fiercely that I could be the person she needed but knew it wouldn't prevail.

"When you say we," she whispered and I could see that she'd finally caught on as I'd intended.

"I mean my family and myself." And you if I wasn't endangering your life

"Okay, I'll come with you" She told me after a few minutes of complete silence as she processed my vindictive but necessary words. Oh how I wish you could.

"You can't, Bella. Where we're going….It's not the right place for you." Now that was true out of all the lies I was yet to say.

"Where you are is the right place for me" How I wish it was!

"I'm no good for you, Bella" Another truth but one I may have to twist into a lie so she'd let me go.

"Don't be ridiculous. You're the very best part of my life" And of mine but I have to let you go. "My world is not for you," Another truth which I wished was a lie. "What happened with Jasper- that was nothing, Edward! Nothing!" Nothing but her being thrown into the path of a thirsty vampire, nothing but nearly losing her life, nothing but not even being able to hold her hand as Carlisle stitched her up in my own thirst. She thought what happened was nothing! "You promised! In Phoenix, you promised that you would stay" Back when I thought that I could keep her safe. If only she knew how much I wanted to stay and how much of me it would kill me to leave her.

"As long as it was best for you," Which definitely isn't it otherwise we wouldn't be in this situation and I would be content with life.

"No! This is about my soul, isn't it" She shouted, figuring out my true motives but I couldn't allow her to believe that, that was the case. If she did then she would never move on. "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- its yours already!" I took a deep breath and cringed internally as I realised that I'd have to take this a step further and hurt her even more than I'd already had. I'd have to break her heart and mine in the process.

"Bella, I don't want you to come with me" I spoke the words slowly and precisely so she'd take them in and believe the lies I was feeding her. It killed me to deceive her, especially since the words could never be true in any sane universe. I would always want her.

'You…don't…want…me?" She whispered and I knew that this would be the most erroneous lie I would utter. Just as I was about to answer her with a cold and unfeeling lie, everything disappeared and I was left in total darkness. I cried out in surprise and shock and reached forward to see if there was anything in the immeasurable dark. I could feel nothing and wondered dully if I had been sent to hell for all the lies I had fed to an angel. Was this what hell was? Darkness and solitude? If it was then I completely deserved it and should be grateful that it wasn't' worse although I would endure the burning fires of hell if it allowed me to glimpse Bella even once more. A sudden vivid light began pulsing above me and out of it a strange angel-like creature glided down towards me.

"Who are you? Where am I" I questioned the strange being.

"I have no name and no species but that is of no importance" She replied, her voice glorious and her appearance beyond any human or vampire's beauty. Rosalie would have died of envy from it. What nearly sent me sprawling to the ground in agony was her uncanny resemblance to Bella although her eyes were the colour of dusk.

"Then what shall I call you" I wondered.

"Call me, Isabelle" She said, a hint of smile in her words. I cringed at her name which was similar to my beloved's.

"Or I could change it if you wish" She frowned, still looking more perfect than all the supermodels in the world put together plus all the vampires.

"Isabelle's fine" I faked a smile.

"Well, your story is an intriguing one and it's my job to show you what will happen if you leave Bella like you were planning. By the end of it, I am sure that you will be indecisive about your decision"

"I doubt that but does this mean I'm not in hell?" I laughed without humor.

"Of course. There is no way that someone like you, vampire or not, could end up in hell" She laughed.

"Well that's good to know. So how will this work?" I wondered.

"I have the gift of traveling through the past and future although the past will be irrelevant in this case, only the future matters"

"Well where are we now?"

"Just a place I have conjured up in where I can explain everything to you. Touch my pendant and we shall travel to a few minutes in the present" She ordered, gesturing to the ruby red pendant glistening on her neck, which I hadn't noticed previously. Before I could regret it, I leant over and put the tip of my finger on the pendant, feeling an odd sensation as I did and seeing the blackness change into the dismal forest.

I know this first chapter is short but this was sort of a preview and I was really excited to put this up. If everyone thinks this is stupid then I won't put up the next chapter and I will delete it but if you like/love it then please let me know in the form of a review. Thanks for reading!
