Edward's pov:
It's been 26 hours, 16 minutes and 52 seconds since I last tasted her lips, felt her touch and gazed upon her eyes. My heart may have died years ago but never have I felt this pure excruciating ripping feeling in my chest. My whole family had hardly spoke a word, hardly made an effort to act human. I see people but I feel nothing. i read minds but hear nothing. Bella is the only word I want both on my lips and mind. I will race to save her or die willingly trying. Forever will I love this day and hate it. An Anniversary of my love for a beating heart and a cruel fate given to that heart. Those minutes of decisions and misunderstanding played on my mind:
My hand merely grazed upon her stomach and I felt life, I'm almost sure of it, I look even more confused as she did. Jasper's and Emmett's holds on me although restraining was never as near as the crushing effect of the Volturi's decision. Bella's life for the pack? Causing such a selfless person decide to die or kill friends, it's without a doubt the most cruel act anyone can bestow upon a single creature. Bella's made up mind up glowed thought her eyes, my eyes! She was willing to sacrifice herself. Esme, Alice, Rose and Carlisle broke down. Emmett and Jasper stayed strong just to hold me in place. Bella's lips brushed upon my own and she walked to her waiting fate. My screams and crys echoed by the dogs opposite and my broken family around. Alice searched in vain into the future, Bella wasn't there.
"I chose my life as payment for the wolves" Bella's voice sang to all ears and confirmed her choice. I tried to break free and run to get her. Jacob had the same idea, as did Seth. The pack made sure that they struggled but stayed put. Aro smug smile would be ripped from his face. Whether now at my own peril or in Italy at my own peril, he will die and so will anyone else I can lay my hands on.
My voice finally found me and screamed louder than my snarls "TAKE ME, LEAVE HER!" All eyes burned upon me including my loves, her eye's pleading me to take back what I had just said.
"I think today has been filled with misunderstanding's, my dear Edward your precious wife's life is worth the value of these wolves and more. I do in fact want her life to be taken from her, eventually. Her potenial as one of us, as a member of the guard is all I ask. I don't wish to end this magnificent creature only create her into the god like one she can easily be. She has agreed to this, no words or violence can stop this. Edward I do wish you would consider joining us at some point but at the moment your emotions don't make you capable of being one of us. Now Bella, darling follow us" Aro's words cracked through my weakness, a member of he guard, turn Bella into a vicious killing machine? Kill all that she is, with a bite? Never. I broke free of Emmett's steel grip but was quickly fell to the floor burning in agony. Jane that witch. "I ... WILL.......... KILL ...YOU!" I managed to spit out through the pain that was now raging through my body. I caught glances of my family snapping out of dazes. Emmett and Jasper making their advances on the guard only to fall to the ground with the rest of my family, they've been blinded. Alec and Jane placing their spells upon us and stopping us with out doubt killing ourselves. The wolves too howled in blindness.
I've never felt such a feeling of despair and depression hit me in waves as Bella's lips met mine for one last time as she flew of into the woods with the Volturi. I soon feel the ease of Jane's power and begged for it to continue. I must feel something, I want to burn knowing what Bella will be put through. I must get her creating a war or not. Bella is mine and non-others to stake a claim on. I will get her.
I can only see one way of revenge in my sights, left in the dust of the Volturi. Tanya, sense meant nothing to anymore, me not without her, I ran for Tanya. Death is her only option.
Bella I sobbed into Alice's arms waiting for human transport. I would ran if I though it would get me there faster. "Flight 23,to Italy is now boarding" I flew not caring about our human charade and ran, giving the tiniest bit of hope. My family in hot pursuit. I will not be returning to this place without Bella or I will not be returning at all.
Bella's pov:
Its been just over a day with out my family and my Edward. In Italy at last, my new home where I shall stay where, I shall live as an immortal soldier. The only piece of Edward I will carry with me is his name, Cullen. I know he will follow but I also know he will die in this case. I when I saw one of the childlike twins mentally attack my Edward, I lost control and went for the vampire, now feeling that effect from my undoubtedly broke my arm.
"Are you ready Bella?" Aro's words cut through my though my thoughts. Ready? I nodded.
"Close your eyes, this is going to hurt." I did as I was instructed.
Edward, I love you.
