Part 1- Torn Apart

Chapter 3- Tourniquet

EPOV

After they had pulled Bella away, I felt my life end. Everything around me just came crumbling down. I could hear my heart shatter into a million pieces and crumble to dust. "Edward! Edward!" I heard Rosalie's paniced cries. I didn't respond. I heard her sobs and felt her curl up beside me. "They took Bella..." she was actually crying, I never thought I would see the day that Rosalie cried over Bella. She pressed her face into my shirt and cried. "They took Bella... They can't do this... it's not fair... they took her..." I had never, in the whole time I had known Rose, I had never seen her like this.

"Edward, they took her, they just came and snatched her away... they took her..." She cried some more. I comforted her as if she was my baby sister, I felt tears run down my cheeks, just as they were Rosalie's. The door burst open again, my brain half registered Emmett, he came and picked Rosalie up, comforting her, rocking her back and forth as I would have if it was Bella crying, but it wasn't. My Bella was being dragged half way around the world, I wish I could pull her in and hug her and kiss her and tell her I loved her, but the point was, I couldn't, she wasn't here.

I pulled the hood on my sweater up and rolled onto my stomach, burrying my face in my arms. Oh god. I could smell her scent all over. I had seen her everyday, knew her face so well, yet now that she was gone, I found it harder to remember it. My foot lifted and then dropped to the floor multiple times before I registered it. "They took her, Emmett, they took her! They took her... they just snatched her away... they took Bella!" Rosalie said through her sobs. Yeah, they did, and what the hell can we do? Their the oldest, biggest and strongest vampire family known, what the hell can we do?

I heard more people come in through the door. I hadn't said a word this whole time, I didn't feel like talking to anyone, I wanted my Bella back. "They...took...her..." Rosalie must have been crying even more now. Next thing I know I feel something rather light in weight next to me; Alice. She pressed her face into the back of my sweater and cried.

"I can't stay here... I have to go." I heard Jasper, I could swear I heard him sobbing. Alice's small arms wrapped around my middle as she cried. She was looking for something to comfort her, yet at the same time her thoughts were trying to comfort me, but they just weren't doing it. My brain hadn't really registered it until now, and I started to cry harder. Bella was gone. She wasn't here. I couldn't hold her. I couldn't tell her I love her. I couldn't kiss her. I coudn't breath? I had just realized, this whole time that I hadn't been breathing, I had just stopped.

"Edward, what happened?" Carlisle asked. I didn't reply, I couldn't reply, I didn't even think I could speak. My mind was spinning, yet somehow, my thoughts were empty. "Edward, who took Bella?" with those words I could feel my heart tear into shreads again.

"The Volturi." I whispered, it was all I could do, my voice wouldn't go any louder, as it was my whisper was almost inaudible. The room seemed to just drop, there was dead silence, though I was sure it was just my ears blocking everything out for a moment. Slowly I could start to hear Rosalie crying, Alice crying, Esme crying, Emmett's sad thoughts and his calming voice as he tried to quiet Rose. Carlisle still remained silent.

"Then... there's nothing we can really do, Aro isn't known for negotaiting, heck Aro isn't known for doing anything anyone else says... There's no point in staying here, we should head back to the house..." I felt Alice's light weight slowly leave my side, I heard Emmett pick up Rosalie and cradle her in his arms. I heard them all slowly walk back outside, all except Carlisle. "Edward, are you coming?" I shrugged, my mind way so blank, my thoughts so depressed I didn't even care. "Yes, or no?" I sighed, at least I think I did, I don't think the message got sent all the way to my brain, either that or it got pushed to the back with 'things to do later' under that list was, think, breath, move on and keep living, all of which would probably never be done. I shook my head. "Edward?"

"No," I whispered, closing my eyes and breathing in the quickly fading scent on my sweater, Bella's scent. More tears ran down my cheeks, burning my eyes and soaking my sleeves. I heard Carlisle hesitate at the door before leaving. I listened to the distant sound of the cars speeding out of the driveway. I let myself cry freely now, more tears falling onto the sleeves of my sweater. Slowly I rolled over and looked at the ceiling. I felt the gun in my waist band, I pulled it out and examined it. I checked the bullets, there was a couple good ones still in it. That was good to know.

I laid there for another three hours or so, I hadn't realized I had been repeating 'she's gone' over and over again until I found myself practically yelling it. The silence of the house was pressing down on me harder than it did when the house was empty during the time they were practicing for the talent show. I just laid there and didn't move, didn't breath, didn't do anything but stare at the ceiling. There was a knock at the door. Why now? Why do people always come at the most inconvenient times? Slowly I pulled myself off the ground and dragged my feet over to the door. I opened the door, but didn't really look at the person. "Um... Maybe I have the wrong house?... Um, is Isabella Swan there?" I was staring out at the trees beside the house, infact I didn't even know who was at the door.

"She's not here right now." I said in a hoarse, raspy voice.

"Can you take a message?" I nodded. I heard a shuffling of papers. "You must be Edward, correct?" I nodded. "Yes, so it is your name that is signed along with Isabella's for the ownership of this house, correct?" I nodded slowly. "May I ask you if there is somewhere I could find her? Work perhaps?"

"I don't know where she is, she... went out with some people..." my voice was still little more than a whisper.

"Than can you just give her this when she comes back?" he handed me a large yellow envelope, one that would obviously have many papers in it. I nodded. "Sir, is something wrong?" I looked at him, but it was almost as if I didn't register him at all, like he was there, but he wasn't. I shook my head. He stared at me for a moment longer. "So can you give this to her when she gets back?" I Sighed,

"Yeah,"

"Great, thank-you." the man left the doorway and I closed the door. I tossed the envelope onto the kitchen table and then dragged my feet over to the stairs. I slowly made my way up to our room, what used to be Bella's room, she didn't like touching her parents' rooms much. As soon as I pushed open the door I was greeted with a strong wave of her scent. Although it was strong, it wasn't anywhere near as strong as it was when Bella was actually there. I pulled off my tear soaked sweater and collapsed on the bed and was engulfed in Bella's scent. I could feel more tears rolling down my cheeks. I pressed my face into her pillow and breathed deeply, inhaling her scent.

I must have been lying there for days, I hadn't realized it, images of the day the Volturi pulled Bella away replayed in my mind, but that wasn't just it. Everything was replaying in my mind, "Bella, what are you doing?"

"Seeing if I can trust you." came her simple reply. "Catch me." she dropped from the tree. I quickly caught her, it wasn't really even a challenge. "You can put me down now." she said matter of factly. I smiled and put her down. She handed me the blue crane. I automatically began flipping it over in my hands. About the third revolution I saw the small peace sign under the wing. I stopped and looked at it, then I saw written in blue ink almost the same color as the paper was the words: God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you...

...she was by her window, which was also wide open despite the complete down-pour. She was sitting on the ledge of it, completely still, looking out into the rain. Water, mist and the darkness cast by the trees made it near impossible to see.

"It's only been a few minutes." I looked at the clock, and sure enough it had only been a couple minutes. I glared at it and she laughed. Her laugh was so charming and delecate, it sounded almost fragile, like little a glass wind chime hanging out in the wind.

I was thankful when I heard a loud explosion behind us. Then she got up and turned around, I did the same. My car was gone, well it was still burning, the gas and oil fueling the fire and making the flames partcially blue. She looked like a complete mess, but she still looked incredibly beautiful, somehow even sexier than before.

Her black hair half out of her pony, creating a frame of untamed tangles around her face, her always alert eyes even more so than usual, she had oil and stuff all over her shirt, I couldn't tell with the black pants, she had some dirt, soot and black on her face but she still looked gorgeous, at least through my eyes.

I took as step towards the house, but then turned back to her, wrapping one arm around her, my hand on the small of her back and pulled her into me, I pressed my lips against hers, pulling her body closer at the same time so her curves were pressed against my body. I was surprised when she didn't fight back, she seemed like the girl that would kick someone's ass if they did that, she surprised me once again by kissing back. Her lips were perfect and tasted sweet against mine, her scent surrounded me and pulled me in, only making me hungry for more, her arms slowly wrapped around my neck and pulled me in to her even more.

When she pulled back her forehead was rested against mine, she looked up into my eyes. Her eyes smoldering until they looked like pure melted gold, they entranced me. I could have stood there for hours but she spoke. "Come on, I'll get you a new car." I opened my mouth to protest but one of her cool fingers pressed to my mouth. "I owe you a new car, they weren't after you, they were after me, they have been for a while." I pressed my lips to hers again, but only breifly so I wouldn't be pulled back in again by her enchantment and my greed.

The neckline of the sweater plunged fairly low and her red bra was clearly visible through the sweater. I looked at the sweater and then back up to her penitrating eyes. "Yes Edward, the sweater is see through...

"I'm a hitman." she whispered.

With as much force as I could get at the moment I threw them back at her and quickly shot at her right after. I didn't look until I heard a light thump on the ground. When I did look, Bella was on the ground, her back arched in pain, one knife was in her stomach, the other, her chest, I could see tons of blood covering her jacket in the small sliver of moon light that pushed through the trees. Then she just went lifeless, she laid on the ground completely motionless.

I tried not to get sucked back in, but that didn't work so well, I ended up just doing the same thing. I could tell she was fighting herself, I don't know what it was, but I could tell. We broke away at the same time, foreheads still rested together, her eyes remained closed, but then she looked up at me, her eyes looking like melted gold again. Everything about her pulled me in, her scent, her eyes, her lips, everything. She was biting her lip, still looking up at me. Her white teeth pressed down into the plump skin of her lip, her sweet, delicious tasting lips, she had to have been teasing me. She was evil... but I loved her more than anything else in the world.

I looked at her eyes and her lips, everything, I wanted so badly to press my lips back down on hers, and taste their sweetness again. Her right hand removed its self from around my neck and lightly trailed down the front of my shoulder, and down my chest. I shivered. "Stop." I said grabbing her hand. She looked up, startled by my sudden harshness. That did it, I greedily placed my lips back on hers, I could feel her smile, I felt pathetic, I gave in that easy? She was just too much to stay away from. She kissed back and seemed just as greedy. Her fingers tangled themselves in my hair, as my hands ran up and down her sides and her back, without even thinking, I pulled her closer, until I felt her body against mine. I winced slightly, because of my chest, she immediately started to recoil, but I pulled her back again.

Then Bella came out, I swear every mind in the building turned to goo, at least it sounded like it did. Bella looked gorgeous, she was wearing what would appear to be a knee length dress, the bottom was slanted, the shorter side going to about her mid-thigh, she was wearing a pair of black pants under it, which didn't surprise me the slightest, she had a black jacket on, open to let the bright, vibrant red show, she would appear to be wearing red strappy heals too, her hair was curled a little more, and it was pulled half up, she had make-up on too, she looked... whoa. Every thought was on her, most I didn't like. She had the microphone held delecately in her hands, her pale skin and bright red nails standing out against it, she had taked the bandages off her hadns too. The music started.

Her exposed skin sparkled like diamonds making her look even more spectacular in her dress. Her eyes even seemed to sparkle, she closed her eyes and smiled as she stood in the center of the room, sparkling like some angel. She tossed her bag onto the bed and continued to just stand there. I set my bag down and came up behind her, snaking my arms around her waist. I kissed her cheek, she was so warm, it's like I could feel the joy rolling off of her. "You're gorgeous, you know that?" she leaned her head back on my shoulder and relaxed in my arms.

"You're gorgeouser," she whispered, her lips lightly grazing my ear. Her finger ever so lightly grazed my collar bone, I shivered from the foreign sensation, Bella giggled. She giggled! When does Bella ever giggle? I thought back to when I had met her, she had never, ever giggled. Her lips ever so slightly grazed my jaw line and finally came to hover over my lips, her lips barely touched mine, ever so slightly grazing mine, mostly hovering over mine. She looked up at me now, her eyes seemed to sparkle as did her skin, but I was locked in a trance, her eyes smoldered and were melted gold, sparkling and looking deep into my eyes.

That did it I couldn't just stand there anymore. I roughly pinned her to the wall, pinning her wrists above her head, I urgently pressed my lips to hers. I was sick of worrying about the time, about what people would think, I needed the taste of her lips now. I couldn't help but let her arms go and pull her right in to me. Her hands travelled over my chest, her hands closing and unclosing on my shirt, gripping and re-gripping the fabric. My hands slid up and down her sides and her back, we were against the wall again, momentarily movng away from it before. I felt her foot rubbing against my ankle, slowly up and down, her leg slowly rubbing up and down against mine as she moved her foot, my hand travelled down her side and then her thigh down to her knee where I held her partcially elevated leg against mine.

She stopped and started over once more, a beautiful melody filled the room, echoing through the house, I do believe it would have sounded better on my piano, but that was back in Forks. After a few more notes she started to sing, adding her voice to the beautiful sound filling the room.

Making my way downtown, walking fast, the faces pass and I'm home-bound

Staring blankly ahead just making my way, making my way through the crowd ahhh. I knew what song it was. I listened carefully as her voice sang the perfect notes, pronouncing each and every word.

And I need you, and I miss you, and now I wonder...

If I could fall into the sky, do you think time, will pass me by?

'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles if I could just see you... tonight She was such a good singer... sadly only the Forks student population knew that.

It's always times like these, where I think of you and I wonder if you think of me

'Cause everything's so wrong and I don't belong, living in your prescious memories I watched as her fingers started to get into the flow of the song, still stumbling slightly over the keys, but getting it.

'Cause I'll need you, and I'll miss you, and now I wonder...

If I could fall into the sky, do you think time, will pass me by?

'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles if I could just see you... tonight She would make millions as a singer, her voice was perfect in so many ways, hitting each and every note so it matched the sound the piano was producing.

I, I don't want to let you know

I, I don't want your memory

I, I don't want to let this go

I, I don't... Her skin glittered slightly as a small ray of sunlight managed to get through the dust covered window, looking around the room, I was betting this was Bella's mother's room, it had gone untouched.

Making my way downtown, walking fast, the faces pass and I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead just making my way, making my way through the crowd I don't know where she got the practise but she sang better than anyone I had ever heard.

And I still need you, and I still miss you, and now I wonder...

If I could fall into the sky, do you think time, would pass us by?

"Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles if I could just see you... I closed my eyes and just listened to her voice ringing out through the house, filling the silence.

Oooh, oooh, oooh, ooooh

If I could fall, into the sky, do you think time would pass me by?

'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles, if I could just see you, if I could just hold you... tonight... I smiled as the last note slowly died away into silence.

My body completely relaxed and held Bella close to me. "Love you," she murmmured.

"Love you too,"

I should just stop thinking, it was only hurting me more to think about it all. My eyes slid over to the clock; three am. Without thinking I just got up and went to have a shower, images of Bella still burning the back of my eyelids.

December 18th-

My head pounded, I felt empty and I wish they would just tear me up already. My weapons had been taken away and I had been dragged out of the house after Alice blurted my freak almost-suicide-attempts that would involve putting a gun to my head and pulling the trigger on numerous occasions. I was laying on the couch in the living room, not of Charlie's old house, but that of the large white mansion. Emmett was flicking through every channel imaginable, Alice was playing every song out there, Jasper trying to convince me of everything possible through thoughts, Rosalie was just ignoring me and Esme's thought had worry written all over them, it was driving me insane, so I started blocking them out.

I heard Carlisle's car speed in the driveway, but it was also followed by another car. Great. Carlisle came in the door, followed by none other than Tanya. I automatically rolled onto my stomach, not wanting to face either of them. This was about the fifth time Carlisle had brought someone home, trying to get me together with them and forget about Bella. All his attempts had crashed and burned horribly, it would be followed by Carlisle yelling, Rosalie saying 'get over it', Emmett chucking something at me, Esme taking sides with no one but all the same telling me that I should try and move on. Jasper on the other hand would be all for killing me and forgetting all about the whole thing, Alice would slap him and tell me to mourn as long as I wanted.

Though they usually all kept there thoughts under tight surveilance, every now and then they would slip and thoughts about Bella would leak through, usually saying they wished she was here. But Tanya, Tanya's thoughts were the exact opposite. Tanya's thoughts consisted of ways to kill Bella and get with me, this thought was usually followed by many disturbing thoughts which I quickly pushed out of my head. Today was a little different, today her thoughts only screamed with many disturbing Jessica Stanley style mind images.

I heard Carlisle clear his throat behind me. I didn't turn around, I already knew exactly what he was going to say, he had said it for the last four people he had brought over. "Edward, Tanya's here..."

"Your point?" I felt Tanya's hand on my shoulder. "Don't touch me." I said through gritted teeth. I felt her hand slowly move away.

"Edward." Carlisle said in a warning voice, I slowly rolled over and looked at him. Emmett looked shocked, Carlisle looked taken back but quickly recovered. I hardly looked at Tanya but she looked more dressed up than usual.

"Tanya, I'm sorry for being so very rude to you and your... sisters, but I do not like you, or any of your sisters the way thay Carlisle so obviously wants me to." Tanya huffed and then stomped out of the house just as her sisters had and then Carlisle turned on me.

"Edward, you and Bella were never meant to be, Bella's... different, really different, Edward, you're probably never going to see her again." I glared at him but I knew he was right.

"Edward, I hate to be saying this, but Carlisle's right, you have to stop living in the past..." Alice was standing at the bottom of the stairs now.

"I know you feel bad and all but..." she stopped looking wearily at Carlisle, almost as if she was wondering if she should say it or not. "I still can't see your future." the whole room seemed to freeze, Carlisle's head snapped to Alice, who sunk back, making herself look smaller than she already was.

"How long have you known this Alice?" Carlisle inquired.

"I... well... I, um, uh, a while?" Carlisle's look was demanding. "Um, well at first, the first month, I could see his future more clearly than anyones, and then, then it started to cloud over again and got fainter and fainter until it became thicker than ever... I don't know what that means Carlisle, I didn't know wheather it meant Bella was in his future, or if his future ended, if there wasn't one." Jasper finally made his appearance, sending a glare back at Carlisle, Alice was obviously feeling very uncomfortable.

"Edward, I know how you feel, god do I ever, but could you please move on? You're killing us!" Alice suddenly left and fled up the stairs, Esme slowly turned back to the kitchen, shaking her head as she went, Rosalie slowly slid onto Emmett's lap.

"Oh, grow up and get over it already! We all felt bad for a while, she's like family! But you're taking this way too far Edward... here's an idea, why don't you and Emmett go have a fight? If you're planning on remembering all your techniques and stuff, you have to keep it fresh in your mind."

"That's a wonderful idea Rosalie! Edward, go out into the backyard with Emmett and wrestle." I glared at him. "Now." Slowly I got up from the couch, this surprised all of them.

"Fine, if it's a fight you want, this is going to be one hell of a rumble..."

"No weapons Edward."

"I don't have any, remember?" I reminded him, glaring at him one last time before heading out to the backyard. Emmett quickly got up and followed. We were quickly stationed outside, Emmett facing me, still looking slightly surprised.

"Yo, bro, hit me as hard as it hurts..." he was giving me a free shot, not a smart move. "Just puch me as hard as it hurts... trust me, Rose and I have fallen apart a couple times, I know it hurts but-" I punched him, hard, too hard actually. He crashed into a tree on the other side of the yard. Carlisle, Rosalie, Alice and Jasper all came out on the porch to see what the loud bang had been, they had all obviously been expecting to see me thrown into a tree. I brushed past them and was about to go into the house when I felt a blade inbetween my shoulders. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt, nothing had hurt after Bella was dragged away, my head hadn't hurt, I only constantly felt blood pulsating through my veins. They were nearly healed now.

I reached back and pulled then knife out. Everyone was frozen to the spot as I slowly turned around, I knew my eyes were black, I hadn't hunted in forever. I dropped the knife on the deck and slowly moved back out infront of Emmett. He was glaring at me, and looked ready to kill me at the same time. He pulled a gun out and aimed at me, I stood rooted on the spot, calmly watching him. He pulled the trigger and I didn't moved as my eyes followed the bullet as it whizzed past my head. "Nice to see you haven't lost your aim." I said in the same bored tone I said everything in now.

"Emmett, put the gun down." Carlisle warned, though I was sure he would rather pick it up himself and shoot me.

"You know, Bella may not be here, but she did happen to leave something behind... she happened to teach me a few things..."

"I trained with both you and her, I know both of our techniques-"

"Ah, but Emmett, see I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about something, much more powerful than timing and technique." They were all looking at my confused now. "It should be interesting to see if I'm still able to pull it off though..." I started concentrating, Emmett laughed, a faint smirk flashed across my lips as he was sent flying backwards, being knocked unconsious as he did so. I was impressed, it worked rather well. Now they were looking shocked, as if they weren't before.

"Edward..." Carlisle started as I brushed past them into the house. That had been the last straw, that fight, that had just proved something, I was still willing to fight.

A/N- So there is yet again another chapter of Blood Red Tears, now things may be a little foggy at the ending there, but it will all be explained soon. As for the next chapter we have to go back a bit, as in back to about a week after Bella and Edward were torn apart, why? Because there's a whole lot Bella's going through too and if I just picked it up in December, you wouldn't be able to find out how drastic the change in our characters actually is. By the end of the next chapter we will be at the same time as the end of this chapter, possibly even farther ahead, but things will start to clear, I hope that you'll find out about the end of this chapter in the next chapter... whoa, ok, that sounds confusing, but you'll see what I mean after the next chapter! And now of course, you want to press that periwinkley button that needs a color change ASAP! 'Cause reviews make the world go round, and you know it!
