Bella's POV
Emmett was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Come in" Rosalie said lazily.
With no surprise, I saw Carlisle and Alice walk in with somber faces.
Emmett stood up "What's the game plan?"
"We need to talk… to just Bella right now." Carlisle said. He said it much too quietly, I knew something was wrong with Alice's vision. I just didn't want to know what it was.
My voice cracked when I spoke. "Okay."
I followed him and Alice into the hallway.
"Bella, I need you to tell me every single thing that you and Edward did last night. We won't be able to save him if we don't know how he lost his soul." Carlisle said, putting a hand on my shoulder.
I took a deep breath. "It is my fault entirely that he lost his soul. I know how he lost it. And I would understand if your entire family hated me."
"Is isn't your fault Bella." Carlisle shook his head. " I know that you make him happy, but it takes something much stronger, and truer, to make a cursed vampire lose it's soul."
"So you think Edward and I don't have something special?" I glared at his flawless face.
"No Bella, but there are forces behind Edward's curse that are much more powerful than anything you can posses. It isn't anything to be hurt about, I am just trying to look at the situation realistically - …."
I stopped him.
"We slept together, alright?" I said abruptly, "We also were feeling much for in love that entire night beforehand. That was the night he vanished, and the next time I saw him he was evil." I hissed.
Carlisle was drawn back, but he didn't look too shocked. "Thank you for telling me, I truly had no idea."
Alice held my hand. "And we don't hate you, you had no idea what would happen to Edward, in fact… we should have told you. And we should have known that being loved by a human could give real happiness."
"Thanks Alice." I sighed. "So is anyone going to tell me what was in the vision." I looked at them with raised eyebrows.
Alice winced. "I saw him kill you and feed on you. But don't worry Bella, my visions are not prophecies and that is never going to happen."
I pulled away from her. "I don't understand any of this, a few days ago Edward would have done anything to protect me. And now what? He is suddenly a Volterra and he'd kill me without a care? This doesn't make sense."
I felt myself beginning to cry, I held it in. They couldn't know how hurt I was… like Rosalie said, it would only make this situation worse.
"You're right, it doesn't make any sense, we know. Bella you need to understand that Edward did not tell you everything about vampires. The making, and the depth of our kind is much greater than it is portrayed." Carlisle said.
"Explain." I breathed.
"Vampires are basically demons, we are meant to be bad. Since killing humans is the ideal way to survive, it seems impossible for us to be good. Most vampires will merely embrace the evil and fulfill what they are meant to be. But some of us don't want to. I had the Volturi curse me many years ago, he cursed I and my family. We all have souls. However. The Volturi doesn't like to give things without a spin. If a vampire with a soul feels even a moment of peace, one moment where they don't feel cursed. It will be taken away and they will be a monster again."
I couldn't hide my horror as Carlisle spoke. How could I have never known this?
"Th-then lets curse him again. We can, can't we?" I asked desperately.
"Were going to see what can be done… but… I'm sorry Bella but you shouldn't think about that too much. The restoration of a soul requires a knowledge of the dark arts that I cannot claim." Carlisle answered.
"But nothing is going to happen to you, I promise." Alice added.
"Can I go home now?" I asked quietly.
"Jasper and I are keeping watch on your house tonight, and we will every night until… this ends." Alice said.
I kept holding my tears, "I don't want to think about the end."
Edwards POV
"Edward." Jane moaned. "Why did we have to swim? I'm all wet and soggy now."
She squeezed more water out of her dress as we lay on the Washington beach.
"Because, Jane. For the millionth time, we could not take a plane because there was no sure way to stay out of the sunlight." I said with gritted teeth.
"Alright… no need to get all pouty, dear. Can we eat now?" she asked.
"You can eat, I'll find you later, I need to make a stop and you are not coming." I said.
"But love! It's nighttime, we need to eat before the sun comes up so we can plan the torture on the girl!" she said, sounding like a child.
"I TOLD you on the way here that there isn't any sun in this damn town. Now go get something to eat and I need to leave." I growled.
"Humph!" she turned and went into the town area of good old Forks.
I didn't enjoy being in civilization, everyone seemed to smile or nod at me when I walked by.
Silly people, I was going to kill this whole town eventually, and they thought I was a friend.
Don't worry, little humans. You will all be fine… at least until I get Bella.
And that's where I was going, to Bella's.
I had a perfect memory of my life… it just all seemed so comical that I chose not to think about it
I however, thought much about my… "family". They all… loved me. So did Bella.
To be honest, I don't understand love.
When you can kill who you want, have sex with who you want, it's such a waste to throw it all away for one person.
Especially someone like Bella Swan. I couldn't help but chuckle at the words I'd said to her.
"I could never hurt you?". Why would I say that to a human? I made a mental note to speak to the Volturi about their curses when I returned to Italy.
Oh what a day this has been.
I saw a young man with a red convertible parked next to me.
Knowing I couldn't travel myself at human speed all the way to the Swan house, nor did I have my Volvo, I approached him.
"Excuse me… Sir? My dog just ran into that alley. Will you help me look for him?" I asked politely, pointing to the dark passage a few feet away.
You've got to be kidding me, he wants to mug me! I can kill this guy.
Humans can think the silliest things…
"Sure man." He said with a toothy smile.
I followed him into the dark alley, and he certainly wasn't the one doing the killing.
With a wipe on my mouth I walked out of the alley, with keys in hand. And a great new ride.
I pulled up to the house, Bella's truck was no where in site. I smiled to myself knowing that she was crying with the Cullen's wondering what in the world had happened to me.
I was filled with millions Bella memories when I knocked on the door of her house.
"Edward? What are you doing here? It's late, I thought Bella was with you, I was worried." Charlie said abruptly when he saw me with my innocent face on the front steps.
I softened my voice. "I know, Charlie. She isn't with me, Alice is bringing her home. I just need you to… convince her to take me back."
"Excuse me? You two broke up? After all you went through? My God, Edward!" He said.
Anger was building up in him… I could hear it in his mind.
"I know, I haven't even been able to sleep since the night we made love." I said.
That ought to get him.
His mouth fell open, he was completely shocked.
Just as I was about to get my second kill for the night, I heard Alice and Jasper's mind incredibly close.
It was no use starting something tonight. With a final glace at Charlie, I got in my new car and vanished into the night.
I felt defeated, I had planned to kill Charlie tonight… it would have been great for Bella's blood, however, the fear and tremble in Jasper and Alice's minds gave me back my ego.
If they thought that standing in front of Bella's house at night would keep me away, they were oh so very wrong.
Sneak Peak:
Edwards POV
If Jane wanted fun, I was going to give it to her. I held her against the wall and she got her way.
"Ohh darling... don't be too rough... you know what my gift is" she said with a giggle.
"Don't be silly, I love your gift" I breathed heavily and did her harder. "Your gift is going to be very handy tomorrow."
AU: This chapter was a little on the dull side, sorry I just want the story to develop a little. The future chapters will be alot more sexy and suspensful.
And once again: If something doesnt make sense in the plot..TELL ME. I don't want this story to be all gay and confusing.
