Bella's POV

Forks, Washington

I woke with tears covering my face. Jake had left me just like he had left me, but at least Jake came back. Love. I didn't believe in such a thing anymore. The only thing that existed was sadness. Don't' do anything stupid his voice rang clear in my head every morning. Right. Plain little old Bella was just supposed to sit around and be a good little human. NOT. I was going to his house today. His voice would only come to me if I made it come.

So, I pulled on my sweatpants and a t-shirt and left in my truck. I drove slowly to his house. It took a while considering it was so deep in the woods. I hadn't been here in a while, and the turn-off was very difficult to find. I pulled over and got out of my pickup. I faced the house for a long time. I finally built up the courage to go in.

I slowly walked onto the porch and into the house. The place wasn't empty, indeed it looked like it had the first time I had come here with him. I walked upstairs into his room. His CD collection stood still up against the wall. I filed through them slowly, just like I had so many months ago. 'I'm not scared of you.' 'You really shouldn't have said that.' Words spoken so many months ago repeated in my head.

Bella! Leave now! His voice was beautiful in its fury. I smiled. Then I thought of what possible danger was in his house, except a mental breakdown from me, which I could handle. Bella! Run! It's not safe here right now! They'll find you! Leave while you still can! Who would find me? I began to worry. I decided to listen to the delusion and slowly made my way down the steps. You must walk faster than that Bella. They'll be here any minute! Leave! I jogged down the steps only to fall and tumble to the bottom. Only a few bruises and a little blood. Bella! His voice was antagonized now. Don't' mind the cuts! Get into your truck and drive! I limped out of the house as fast as I could. The last thing I remember was a cloaked figure coming toward me smiling and Edward snarling furiously in my head. Then something came down hard on my head, knocking me into an unconscious state.

Edward's POV

Alaska with the Denali coven

I sat on the piano bench staring at the wall. Since I left, there was no more inspiration. No will to live, no anything. 'She must hate me.' It was better for her to hate me than to be hurt by me or my family. I decided to play a song that I hadn't played in several months, Bella's Lullaby.

I heard all the thoughts of my family morph into thoughts about Bella. Esme began to sob tearlessly. My daughter... why did we have to leave my daughter? And Alice. Edward.... if you're gonna make us leave her, don't make us constantly think about her! I stopped at that. She was right. It was wrong for me to do such a thing when it was my entire fault in the first place. Tanya came and hugged my shoulders; she still hadn't given up hope of... us. It would never happen, I was sure of it. I would never be happy with anyone other than my Bella. But I was a monster, and monsters don't deserve happiness. Tanya moved herself to face me and began to 'comfort' me. I gently pushed her away.

"No Tanya." I said firmly.

"But Edward....." Tanya complained. We had this conversation at least once a week. It has gotten ridiculous. I just got up and ran into the wilderness to clear my head. As usual Alice followed me. She practically hated me for leaving Bella, her best friend, the love of my existence. Thankfully, Alice came down the stairs that exact moment.

'A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y and Z… Now I know my A B C D E…' I wonder what Alice wants to tell me… hmm. "Edward," Alice interrupted my thoughts, "Can you come for a run with me?" "Sure, Alice," I replied puzzled. "Bye, baby!" Tanya said as her lips grazed my cheek. I growled. Alice and I left the house. I allowed myself to practically fly through the trees. Running didn't allow me to escape anymore. "Edward," Alice began, "You know, in a way, you brought this on yourself. You're worried about her, aren't you?" I nodded at this. "I just want to 'see' how she's doing. I'm worried about her too you know. So can I?" I nodded solemnly.

(Vision begins)

Bella is walking from the Cullen house covered in bruises and cuts, she is limping to her truck. Someone knocks her out and picks her up. Everything goes blank.

(Vision ends)

"Alice.... what just happened?!" I said, my voice shaking.

"I-I.... I don't know...." she said, fear evoking her high-pitched voice.

"Alice, I have to go... NOW!" I said indefinitely.

"I know, can I come?" she questioned "I want to see her too."

"Fine, let's go!"

We began running to Forks. Alice called Jasper to let him know what was going on.

"What just happened out there?" he asked concerned of his wife.

"Jasper, Edward and I are going to Forks, don't come. We think something might have happened..... Just let us be alright?"

"Fine, call me if something happens."

"LOVE YA JAZZ!!" Alice shouted into the phone, even though it really wasn't necessary.

"LOVE YOU ALICE!!" Jasper called back, and the line disconnected.

Once we reached Forks, a horrible smell sat waiting for us at our old house....

Bella's POV

In a plane over the Atlantic

I woke as my eyes flipped open. My wrists were tied behind my back and my mouth was gagged. I was slumped against the base of a leather seat.

"What the-" I started through the gag. While examining myself.

The man across from me cut me off, "You are on a private jet headed to Italy. My name is Demetri and Jane is in the cockpit. You know too much about our world and will be persecuted by what punishment master sees fit."

Demetri was most definitely a vampire. He had shoulder-length blonde wavy locks with ruby red eyes. He had the same angular features of the other vampires I had met, but they were somehow harder than the Cullens'.

I stared at him confused. "Your little friends, the Cullens, broke the rules and I'm sorry to inform you that you must pay for this mistake."

"What mistake?" it came out muffled through the gag.

"Humans, such as yourself, are not to know about us, so you must be executed. Lucky for you, Felix will be doing the execution. He usually gets carried away.---"

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer had a very shin- Demetri answered his cell phone. I was pretty sure Jane was laughing hysterically in the cockpit. I didn't want to think about the plane without a pilot right now. "We're on our way, Felix," Demetri spoke rapidly into the phone.

I didn't want to be here in this weird place with these wacked vampires. I began to get up; however, once I was on my feet, Demetri knocked me in the head once again, and I slipped back into the darkness.
