BELLA POV!
"You don't...want...me"? I struggled through my words, unable to comprehend what was happening. Edward said he didn't want me, that he was leaving with his family and would never return. I guess it makes sense, how could a Adonis like him ever want a plain, stupid, boring, weak, clumsy human like me? I guess I fooled myself into thinking he loved me, James was right, I was just a pet to him.
"No". The words fell out of his mouth coldly, his face showed no emotion, his eyes were empty, I knew he hated me.
"If...that's what you want, I can't force you to...stay" I whispered, my voice breaking, I was already dieing inside and he hadn't even left...yet. My heart was shattered into a million pieces, never to be patched up again. I knew I would never love again, how could I? Edward is my one and only, love, even if he did not love me back.
"Goodbye Bella" He quickly kissed my forehead and with a sudden breeze I opened my eyes and Edward was gone.
I ran, I ran and ran and ran, trying to find him. Calling out for him, screaming for him. The tears were coming fast and thick now, the ones that I had held back when he was saying...goodbye. I fell over something, most likely a tree stump and collapsed to the ground. I didn't have the will to get up again, I knew he was gone but I didn't want to accept it. My life, my world, my heart and soul, my love, Edward had taken it all with him.
I laid on the ground for hours, never moving, just crying, sobbing, whimpering for Edward. He never came.
I heard a wicked laugh and my head shot up. Standing before me was her. Victoria. And I knew what she wanted. Me. Dead.
"Bella, I am ever so sorry for you" Her voice sang, though her words came out sarcastically.
"I do not want your pity" I spat, climbing to my feet.
She ignored my comment and carried on, glaring at me. "I heard your and Edward's conversation" she said his name with disgust and I wanted to rip her to pieces, "you were just a pet after all".
"What do you want" I asked, the panic inside of me becoming more prominent.
"After your precious Edward killed my mate, James, I wanted revenge, and I still do. That is why I'm here to kill you" Victoria's voice was sadistic, evil.
"You can do what you want, I have nothing to live for now" I answered, living without Edward was not a life I wanted.
Victoria seemed to think for a while, her head tilting, examining me, she finally spoke. "I change my mind. I understand what it is like to live without your mate, it hurts, it kills, you feel like dieing yourself. You will not have a easy way out, I will make you suffer like I do, and Edward will suffer too".
I didn't understand what she wanted to do with me now. I didn't know whether it was death, torture, what was she planning?
"What are you saying" A small voice which belonged to me answered.
"I will change you, and you will have no way out. Death will never come to you, you will live in pain for the rest of eternity. And Edward will suffer too" Her wicked animistic voice made me shake, I didn't want my change to be like this, I wanted Edward to be the one, I wanted his venom flowing through me for the rest of eternity.
"No, please don't" I begged in a weak voice, I didn't want my eternity without Edward.
"Yes" Victoria grinned evilly, and then she lunged for my throat.
2 YEARS LATER - BELLA POV!
I'm in hell. That's the only way I can describe it.
I went through the three days of pure pain to then be transformed into a vampire. I had to leave Forks, never to see Charlie again, or my mother, or anyone again. I go by the ways of the Cullen's, I feed on the blood of animals. I did have a struggle with resiting the temptation of human blood at first, but I never bit a human, and never will. I beat that temptation quite easily, and I now run alone.
I suffer everyday, just like Victoria said I would. I'm in constant pain without Edward. I miss him terribly, more than terribly. I wander through life, feeding, travelling, thinking of Edward every second of every day.
The pain is unbearable, I feel dead inside, more so than a vampire is. I think of myself as a zombie/vampire, because I am a vampire, and I feel like a zombie.
I knew being a vampire was what I wanted and I have it. But I wanted it with Edward, Alice, Jasper, Esme, Carlisle, Emmett, Rosalie and even more of Edward. But I have nothing.
I'm sitting by a fast flowing river, just watching every single detail flow by with my intense eyes. Everything is more...beautiful when your a vampire. You see things more clearly, hear things like their right beside you, smell things like their sat right in front of you, taste things before their even inside you. My senses are stronger, much, much more than a human.
I worked out that I have a mind shield. I am forever working on it, I can push it out 15 metres now, much better than before. It protects me and everything that is inside my little protection bubble. Its like a blue cloud that comes from me, protecting what I want it to protect, and ignoring whatever I want to ignore.
I carelessly didn't smell another vampires scent, and I was suddenly grasped by two pairs of strong arms. Instinct's set in and I fought back but, I am not a very good fighter. My shield wasn't stopping them dragging me, it just stopped them from hurting me.
"What in the world are you doing" I growled, as I was thrown over a very tall, strong, muscular vampire. I aimlessly punch my tiny fists against him, but it didn't hurt him, it just made him laugh.
"You are coming with us, to Volterra. We belong to the Volturi, and our master Aro would like to speak with you". The vampire walking beside us said, he seemed very amused.
I gasped, the Volturi. My memories of my human life were very strong, I remembered them as if they happened seconds ago, I believe its something to do with my mind shield. I remember Edward telling me about the Volturi, who lived in Volterra in Italy. He told me the night of my birthday, the night when everything went wrong. Edward said that Aro was the 'master', he said that the Volturi were like the royal family of the vampires, and they weren't to be messed with. If you did mess with them, you would be disposed of, immediately.
"May I ask who you are?" I asked, glaring at the two vampires, who were now running with me.
"I am Demetri" said the one who was carrying me, and the other said he was Felix.
"Well Demetri, Felix, may I ask why I am being forced to go to Volterra with you?" I spat, still punching at Demetri's back. My attitude had changed since I had been changed, since he left. I didn't bother with politeness anymore, I mean what is the point? Edward didn't like the way I used to be, so I changed. I will only ever be the real Bella again, when I was with him, with the Cullen's - my family, and with Edward, my soul-mate.
"All will be explained when we arrive" sneered Felix, but I didn't give up, I kicked and punched with all I had as they easily took me to Volterra.
EDWARD POV!
It had been two years since I had left my only and ever love. On the very same day that I left her, alone in the forest she was killed by a bear. We never went to the funeral, knowing we had caused enough damage, but after the funeral was over, we went to pay our respects. I broke down at her grave, I screamed and sobbed and whimpered, into Esme's arms, while everyone around us cried too. I told her I was sorry, that I never meant anything I said, that I lied, which of course I did. I needed her to have the chance at a happy and normal life, which she could never have had with me.
It will forever kill me to know she died thinking I never wanted her. Thinking that I never loved her. All of which was lies.
I haven't left my family, they won't allow it. They know I want to go to the Volturi and die, so they keep a very close eye on me.
Everyday that I live through is utter hell. Without Bella beside me kills me, more than I already am. Without seeing her beautiful face everyday is a nightmare, without her freesia scent to sooth me, without her warm lips pressed to mine is like being killed over and over again.
I am dead.
I will never be the same again. I will never love again. Bella was, no, is my one and only ever love.
Alice suddenly came bursting through my bedroom door, where I hide away everyday. A look of panic is plastered on her face, I knew she had a vision.
I read her thoughts to see her vision.
There was a loud bang at the door, Carlisle quickly answered it. Aro and many of the Volturi were standing there, one being Jane. "Aro" Carlisle greeted him, almost wearily. "Carlisle we have no time for greetings, you and your family will come to Volterra with us. No questions asked". "Why on earth do you need us? We have not broken any rules, we certainty do not need to come with you". "Carlisle, you and your family, will come with us willingly or not, Jane is more than happy to use her gift to help us succeed". "Very well Aro, we will come with you".
"Alice how long do we have"? I asked frantically, now the whole family were gathered in my room.
"3 minutes, maybe less" Alice answered, clutching to Jasper tightly, I had to look away.
"We have no choice to go with them, using Jane's power or not, they will get us to go to Volterra" Carlisle stated, his voice filled with worry.
"I guess we have no choice then. Children I want you all to follow what ever orders we are given, I will not lose another child" Esme ordered, her voice filled with sadness over the loss of Bella. I felt a pang of pain run through me, Esme and Carlisle thought of Bella as a daughter, Alice, Jasper, Emmett and even Rosalie, love her as a sister, and I love her as my soul-mate.
The Volturi did come for us, and we did follow them to Volterra. We had been here no more than an hour when we were summoned to the throne room, as they like to call it. Of course we had to follow their orders and we walked to the 'throne room' where Aro and his disciples were.
"My friends, may you stand over there, I see this will be a very interesting hour" Aro cheered, waving us off to the right hand side of the 'throne room'.
My family and I watched everyone closely, watching for any sign of attack. Alice was cradled is Jasper's arms, Rosalie in Emmett's and Esme in Carlisle's. Another pang to the heart.
The room was silent for six minutes before we all heard a voice yelling and what sounded to be tiny fists thumping against a vampires back. Of course I smelt no human, so the voice could only belong to a vampire. The voice was female, and some what familiar, the arising scent was too. Could it be?
"You put me down you lanky over-muscled bone head"! The female voice came again louder, closer, it had to be, could it? My family seemed to recognise the voice too, they were looking around confused, but hopeful, like me.
The large doors were opened and in came Felix, with a large smirk on his face.
"Madam, will you please behave yourself?" A deep voice that belonged to Demetri boomed.
"MADAM? MADAM?" Her voice screeched, I was almost positive that it was her. Bella. Her scent. Her voice. The electricity that flowed through my body when I was with her, was racing through my veins. I just needed to see her to be 100% positive.
"YOU KIDNAP ME, DRAG ME THROUGH A FOREST, THROUGH THE OCEAN, AND NOW YOU START WITH PLEASANTRIES! I'LL GIVE YOU BLOODY MADAM!" Again, we all heard the thumping of tiny fists against Demetri's back.
Would he just hurry up and get in here already? Alice was clinging to my side, smiling, so was everyone else in the family, smiling for the hope of Bella being alive, smiling for me.
"Fine, just get in there" Demetri's voice ordered, the tiny body was thrown to the ground, she growled, but walked back-wards into the throne room, watching Demetri intensely, ignoring everything else around her.
It was her.
Bella was alive.
Bella was a vampire.
Bella was alive!
Her mahogany brown hair, was naturally curled and damp, flowing around her shoulders. I couldn't see her face yet but I was internally begging for her to turn around, she was wearing simple jeans, sneakers, and the green shirt she always used to wear, all of which were wet. (Think of Bella's outfit in New Moon, when she went to save Edward, this is the outfit I'm describing).
"Do not order me around, lanky" Her voice growled, it was deathly low. "You ought to pick on someone your own size, although I wouldn't mind ripping off a few off your limbs".
"Like you would have the courage too" Demetri sneered right in her face.
Around us everyone was watching intensely. I supposed Aro was quite interested, everyone was.
"Courage! Do not start me on courage! I have faced a tracker in my human life. I faced a red headed vampire bitch, wanting to get revenge for...him killing the tracker! I faced having to leave all my family behind! I faced being left by my family and my soul-mate so don't even start me on courage, lanky!" Her voice was filled with so much pain that I visibly flinched. It was never supposed to be like that, it was supposed to be that I never existed, she was supposed to have a normal life!
"Demetri!" Aro's voice ordered, "You have done quite enough. I will not tolerate you upsetting our guests, go"!
Demetri huffed, and stood in the corner of the room with Felix, in case of attack.
She spun around very quickly, even for a vampire. But it was her, it was Bella. Her once deep brown pools, were now golden like mine. Her skin was as pale as any vampires, her pink full lips were still the same, not much had really changed. She was still Bella, utterly beautiful Bella.
Her eyes locked with mine, she looked completely shocked for a while, but then she smiled at me?
BELLA POV!
"Demetri!" A voice ordered, "You have done quite enough. I will not tolerate you upsetting our guests, go"!
Demetri huffed, but went over to Felix and stood in the corner, protecting the royals, who's a good little boy then?
I was going to spin around screaming, "Guests? Guests? You treat your guests like this?". But before I could, it was only then I felt it, felt them, felt him. I smelt them, I smelt Edward! His scent was even stronger, more mesmerizing than before. I picked up their scent, Alice's, Jasper's, Emmett's, Rosalie's, Esme's, Carlisle's, all of them.
I spun around quickly, eyes scanning the room. I came across many people, vampires standing around watching me intensely. There were three thrones sitting above a few small steps, occumpianed by three people. I then came across, them. Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice, then. Edward. My breath hitched. What was happening?
My eyes locked with his golden ones. The golden pools I had missed so much over the last two years, his eyes held, shock, hope, happiness, love.
I was sure that my face held the look of shock, but my eyes held love. After the shock had settled, I smiled. Smiled like I haven't in two years!
"Edward" I whispered, knowing he could hear, never breaking eye contact.
"Bella" He whispered back, smiling his crooked grin at me.
After two years of wandering, feeling dead, empty, I now felt alive, and once again complete.
