AN. That is so not fair! My mom is making me load the dishwasher because I won't say "Oh crap" Isn't that totally unfair?! I mean how often does you mom tell you to say oh crap? Whatever on with the story! In this chapter, Edward and Bella see each other again, from a distance, and it just includes some little bonding angsty moments, that will might make you cry now, and will make the end so much worse. By the way, I have decided to add an alternate ending when I am finished. You'll see why later. Now the story continues.
The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.
I cry for the time that you were almost mine, I cry for the memories I've left behind, I cry for the pain, the lost, the old the new, I cry for the times I thought I had you
Not all scars show, not all wounds heal Sometimes you can't always see The pain someone feels
Whats the sense of wishing for something when I always just wish it away?
Every night i talk to the stars pretending its you.. it acts just like you tho.. far away and never replies to my questions
Why do people tell you to believe in what you want to but then tell you not to believe in the one true thing you do believe in?
Times a precious thing to waste, but friends are more precious
Kiss me, I'm Emo!
The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.
The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.
Do not assume that he who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. His life may also have much sadness and difficulty, that remains far beyond yours. Were it otherwise, he would never have been able to find these words.

Bella's POV
I stood up slowly, cautiously. I turned on the cold water, and splashed my face. Slowly, the two twin trails down my cheeks disappeared. I walked out and walked downstairs, avoiding everyone's gaze, hinding behind my hair. It hung down like a curtain, sheilding me from curious eyes. "Bella, are you alright?" Mandy asked quietly. It set me off all the same. "Me?! Yes, because I just broke up with the love of my entire life, and he STILL thinks that I do't love him, because YOU stole the effing tape that would tell him otherwise, so of course I'm alright MANDY!" I screamed, the sarcasm in my words audible. I dropped to my knees in the middle of the living room. "What am I supposed to do? It's so much worse now, I broke his heart. I...I can't stand this" I sobbed. Alyssa ran over and wrapped her arms around me. "Bella. Shhh it's going to be alright, I swear." "You don't know that. How do you know, you told me I could never see him again. You don't understand just how much I love him!"Everyone stayed silent. Good choice.
Jenny reached over, and flipped on the radio. The song Snuff by Slipknot. I sobbed lightly, silently. Realizing it was the music, Jenny reached over to turn it off, but I grabbed her hand. "No don't. I deserve it." She pulled away, looking sad. I stood up, I couldn't take it. "I'll be back later." Alexa sent a glare my way, and mouthed 'Crybaby' 'Bitch' I mouthed back. She folded her arms, pursing her lips, and I walked outside. Then I ran.
I looked around. I didn't know where we were, but it was just like Forks. It was rainy, and was surrounded in Forks. I thought of something. I still had HER phone number. Maybe I could just tell him? I had no clue. I dialed in the numbers, 555-2559. Alice. I could have called Edward, at 555-3339, or even Esme at 555-3763 but I knew Alice was the best choice. (AN. Haha I love this. If you look at the numbers, the last numbers spell: Alice- Ally, Edward- Eddy, Esme-Esme, and then it would be Rose-7673 is Rose, Emmett- 3667 is Emm's, Carlisle- 2275 is Carl, Jasper- 5299 is Jazz, and now Bella's is- 2355 is Bell. I love it!) The phone rang. I waited, hoping, and praying that Alice would pick up.
--
I slipped into a vision. Bella was going to call me. I pulled out, and ran. Bella. I needed to find that god damn phone! I heard the song With You playing. It was in Edward's room? I ran in to get it, and it was soon in my hand."Bella!" I practically screamed. Jasper, and the others burst into the room, Edward still missing. "Find Edward" I whispered to Emmett and Jasper at vampire speed. They nooded, and ran out. "Where is he?" Bella asked. "What?" "You heard me Alice, and I heard you. Now where did Edward go?" Bella sounded dead serious, and pissed. I winced. "Edward just went to your guy's meadow, that's all." I said calmly. Bella's voice broke. "Alice, it's his, it has always been. It isn't in any way mine." I rolled my eyes. "Bella, it is yours too, I think it has always been."
"Alice! Listen to me, I can never come back, never see you guys again. I am not allowed, under any circumstances allowed even in the Olympic Peninsula EVER again, or within about an entire state of you guys, so just knock it off, because I am breaking the rules by telling you guy's all of this, and if I weren't in the middle of the forest right now, your numbers would be banned from my phone, so just shut the hell up and listen!" I was in shock. Was Bella serious? "Okay." I whispered.
"Now put me on speaker phone. ... Okay good, now everybody listen. I can never come back, and you can never come find me, if either of us does, you guy's will get killed, not me. I know that I can't handle that, and I won't let it happen, no matter what it takes. I can't tell you everything right now, but I will try to talk to you again, when I can. The six of us have powers, and Alice, I assume you have seen that we have wings, yes strange, but affective. We also have powers, and we can run as fast as you guys, strength, senses, everything. The only difference? We aren't really invincible, but we have powers. Powers that vampire's do not. Powers like earth, and water, and so many more. (An. Sorry I just used the word powers five times!) We are all pretty evenly matched, but me and Jenny, the girl with white wings, are stronger. We are faster, and we heal quicker. If they just get a couple other people to help them, they can easily beat us. They won't hesitate to do so. I don't think they would kill me, but I can't protect you guys, my power won't work against all that. Do you understand?" "I think so." We all said in unison.
"Okay good, so this is a dangerous situation. Everyone except the Volturi believe us to be myths, and the Volturi don't trust us. They are keeping tabs on us, and already know what is going on. If they get involved, both me, and The Angels, and you will get killed. The Volturi don't like us, and will kill anyone who associates with us, so you have to be careful. You have to avoid Aro at all costs! The werewolves are on this side too, a risky combination. Turns out Emily, Sam's fiancee, is Amanda's best friend. Then Quil imprinted on Emily's little cousin. This isn't a good thing, both of these races, are very volatile, and are not safe when they are angered. One little arguement, can turn into a three, maybe even four way war, where your choice of sides can mean life or death, and I won't let you guys be put in that situation. So far it is only a two way, us and the Volturi, but it can get split. I also have a feeling that Alexa and Jennifer are up to something. They keep sneaking away, and talking to people. I think they have an alliance with some human-drinkers, and yet they can't be! All our families swore long ago to fight against vampires, and werewolves, but now every line is getting blurred. People are switching sides, and nobody knows where to turn, but please, just try to stay out of this unwinable battle. Please." She pleaded with us. We were all shocked.
We needed Edward, fast. I knew he would get here soon, but Bella's future had just disappeared. The wolves? Or something else? Finally Edward, Emmett, and Jasper got back, and I quickly showed Edward what happened in my mind. He burst into the room. "Bella." He said. "Edward!" Bella sounded relieved. "Edward, you have to know that I still love you, and that I always will, but I can never see you again. I won't risk your life." "Bella, I think your under..." "DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT! I am not underestimating you! With just a little bit of help from the werewolves, they can kill you all, easily. If I fight, it will just be worse. You don't understand!" Bella screamed. "Okay Bella, okay. I...I love you." Edward whispered. "I love you too Edward, so, so much! With every single part of my heart, and I can't stand to see you hurt, it would just kill...Ahhhhhhh! QUIL!" Bella screamed. We heard a thump, and a voice. "Who were you talking to Bella? If it was them, you know what I have to do." "NOOOOOOOOO!!" Bella screamed. Edward was pissed. His hands were shaking, and Jasper was leaning agaisnt a wall for support. Emmett was glaring at the cell phone, and looked ready to rip the wolf into pieces. "If you do it Quil, I swear I will not hesitate to fight you." Bella warned. "Think about Claire, Quil, don't do it." "Bella. You know I have to." His footsteps got louder, and then I heard Bella. "I'm so sorry." Quil yelled, and they heard a thick thud. He had dropped to the ground. Bella came back. "I'm sorry, I really have to go." "I love you so much Bella." "You're family." Everyone else said.
--
He did it. Quil actually threatened me. "If you do it Quil, I swear I will not hesitate to fight you." I meant it. I really wouldn't. "Think about Claire, Quil, don't do it." I whispered. "Bella. You know I have to." He walked closer to the phone, and I cracked. I had to use it. "I'm so sorry." I stood, and put my hands at my hips, fingers pointing down, and pulled my arms up in one sweeping motion. Shadows wrapped around Quil as he yelled. They darkness devoured the sound, and Quil was soon unconcious. I pulled the shadows back. The pale skin showed I had used my power. They would know. I grabbed the phone again. "I'm sorry, I really have to go." "I love you so much Bella." Edward whispered. "You're family." Everyone else said simply. I smiled. Maybe my story wouldn't have a horrible ending. Maybe it would. I shoved my phone in my pocket, and continued with my walk. I toyed anxiously with the bracelet around my wrist, and smiled when I remembered that last night. I decided to fly, to scope out where I was. I shot into the sky, and hovered, gently pulling the black wings up and down. I had been here before, I was exactly one state North of the love of my life, I was on the Oregon coast.
Once I had dropped to the ground again, the sun was setting. I love the night. I climbed up a large tree, and sat down, just watching the sunset. That was soon over, replaced with twilight. My favorite time of day. I wonder what Edward was doing at this very moment.
--
I immediately ran outside, greeted by the soft cool shade of the trees. I ran through the forest, just thinking about what Bella had said. Alice had showed me everything, and I couldn't believe what was going on. Was she serious? She definately sounded like she was serious, and why would Bella joke about that? And she really did still love me. Alice had been telling the truth. When Alice had shown me what Bella had said, I had also gotten from before. Bella going in to make the Cd, telling them all what she was going to do, telling them goodbye, and Alice's vision. Bella...had wings?! I didn't think I would ever understand the enigma that is Isabella Marie Swan.
Once I had calmed down and relaxed again, the sun was setting. I now loved the night. I climbed up a large tree and sat down, just watching the sunset. That was soon over, replaced with twilight. My new favorite time of day. I wonder what Bella was doing at this very moment.
--
(AN. Yes that was a cute moment, both of them doing the same thing pretty much, but it all ends now. The rest of this chapter is kind of sad, somebody dies. I have also changed the song for this chapter to Snuff by Slipknot, instead of the normal Zombie by The Cranberries. The next chapter is Halloween by the way.)
A little past midnight, I ran back home. It was pitch black, but I easily found the house. Quil was still unconcious. Gotta love the shadows. I walked inside. "Hi you guys." I whispered. "Bella!" They all screamed and wrapped their arms around me. When we pulled away, I saw Jennifer mouth to Alexa, 'That was stupid. You suck at acting, so just stop trying.' Bree stepped forward. "I am so glad that you are back. I was worried." I smiled. She was the youngest of us, only 14. THe others were all 15, and 16, only Jennifer was 17. I was the eldest. I hugged her. "You don't need to worry. I know how to take care of myself." "B...but Alyssa said that the Volturi are supposed to be here! She said they were out tonight!" This was bad, very bad. "Um, just one minute, I'll be right back." I said, and dashed up the stairs heading towards my room. Once inside, I locked the door.
I snatched my cell phone and quickly texted Alice. 'Ally, did u hav a vision? R the V in V city, or in OR?' 'V in V city, but r wondering bout Fallen Angels. W is that?' 'That is us. We r the Fallen Angels. Just a myth name. Will V come to OR soon?' 'Ooo ok. They might. Hav not decided. Keep up guard.' (AN. Just in case you don't know, the translation is 'Ally, did you have a vision? Are the Volturi in Volturi city (Volterra) or in Oregon?' 'Volturi in Volturi city, but they are wondering about the Fallen Angels. Who is that?' 'That is us. We are the Fallen Angels. It's just a myth name. Will the Volturi come to Oregon soon?' 'Oh, okay. They might. They haven't decided yet. Keep up your guard though.')
I ran back downstairs. "The Volturi are in Volterra." "How do you know?" They all asked. "Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to. I just know, that they might decide to come here. We have to keep on guard." They all nodded. Let's hope they trust me. I nodded too, and went back upstairs. I looked around my bedroom for the first time. There was a large black bed, with black sheer curtains, and black silk sheets. Next to that was a black table with a black three Cd stereo on one side, and on the other side was an identical table with a silver iPod stereo resting there. That was on the left of the room, against the west wall. The wall to the east was covered in shelves of Cd's, and closer to the bedroom door was another door. This led into a small room with a large black couch, and a wall sized window, along with a door to a closet and a bathroom. Back in the main room, the north wall had two beautiful French doors.
I dropped onto my bed, and heard the front door open, and then close as I drifted off to sleep.
--
I lay across the bed just thinking. Bella was a horrible liar, so she must be telling the truth right? I heard a strange noise, and went down into the living room. I shook my head. There was nobody down there. The other's were all in their bedrooms. I went back upstairs, and saw a silver Cd laying on the bed. I grabbed it, curious and placed it in my stereo. I pressed play, and there was music in the background.
"Hello Edward. Did you believe me? I sure hope so. 'I love you Edward, so much.' In your dreams. I thought you were born in 1901. You've had years to gather knowledge, and then you were enough of an idiot to believe me when I told you that I loved you. I don't. It was fun, and I DID love you. But how can I continue to love someone that puts me into danger? I could easily get out of it, but that would mean I would have to reveal my secret, and why would I do that? That's right Edward, I easily could have kicked James ass, before he ever had a chance to touch me. It was fun, but I just wanted to see how long I could keep my secret just that, a secret. I just believed you deserved to know in the end, after I had finished playing. You wouldn't believe me if you thought I didn't love you. Well now I can tell you Edward. I hate you. You ruined my life. Because Of YOU we are now in a war. I got too attached to my game. When the toy was taken away, it broke me, for the second time. But now I'm healed. I need to be, to stop the war that YOU caused. I hope you have enjoyed youself Edward. Don't get lost."
What? Bella was...lying? Bella had willingly gotten hurt by James just to keep her secret from me? She didn't really love me? She had just been playing with me.Bella sounded so angry, and hostile. Why did she do this to me?
My dead heart crashed in my chest. It was killing me, slowly but surely, and I gratiously welcomed it. Why could those who wanted to die, never die? WQas it some twisted irony that fate liked to play on me? Did fate love to torture the ones like me? It was overwhelming. Bella had lied, many times. Who knew she could? Who knew she would?
--
(AN. I'm so sorry, but I had come up with an idea for what happens in the next chapters, all the way to the end, and for it to work I had to have Edward think that Bella still hated him. I know I am a horrible person for doing that to Edward, but you do know that isn't the real Cd that Bella made right? I really hope so!)
I noticed two Cd's on bed. One was labeled To Edward, From Bella and the other one was labeled To Edward Love Bella. I listened to the first one, and was horrified. (AN. It's the one from above in Edward's POV) then I listened to the second one, It was the first part of the one I made.
"Hello Edward. Did you believe me? I sure hope so. I love you Edward, so much. Could you believe me, even in your wildest dreams? I thought you were born in 1901, and then I was an idiot, but you believed me when I told you that I didn't love you. I do. I was fun, and I did love you. I still do. But how can I continue to love someone that puts me into danger? I can't answer that, but I do. I could easily get out of it, but that would mean I would have to reveal my secret, and why would I do that? How could I? That's right Edward, I easily could have kicked James ass, before he ever had a chance to touch me. It wasn't fun, but I wanted to see how long I could keep my secrt just that, a secret. I believe you deserve to know in the end. After the vicious game against us was finished. You wouldn't believe me if you thought I loved you. Now I can tell you Edward. I love you, but I hate what this mess has done to you. You never could have ruined my life, but I did. Because Of YOU I might be able to get through this war we are now in. I got too attached to this game, of keeping my secret, and it began to toy with my life. When I had to leave, when you were taken away, it broke me, for the second time. But now, I don't think I can be healed. I need to be, to stop the war, that I have put YOU into, and I have caused. I hope you enjoy yourslf Edward. Don't get lost. I did."
(AN. Eerily similiar to the first tape huh? Hmmm curious.)
This was horrible. How was the first Cd made? Why? What had been the purpose? I grabbed the first Cd, and brutally threw it against the wall. Tears poured down my face. How could this happen? How could I have so completely ruined my life? "Bella you have a letter." Jenny said, before handing me the letter and leaving. It was from London, England. Inside was another letter, this one from Volterra Italy. I opened it slowly, afraid of what it would say.
Dear
Isabella,
We have the knowledge that you are a Fallen Angel, and
therefore you were forced to break you Edward's heart. Soon after, we
realized that if we wanted to talk to you, we would need to have
something you want. Therefore, we have taken your father, and your ex
brother-to-be, a young man by the name of Jasper Whitlock Hale. If
you want to save their lives, you must come and talk with us. You
have until November 3 to arrive, or they will both die. Come and they
won't die Bella.
Aro Volturi
Isabella
caro,
abbiamo la conoscenza che lei è un'Angel Caduta, e quindi
lei era forzato per romperla il cuore dell'Edward. Poco dopo, abbiamo
realizzato che se abbiamo voluto parlarle, dovremmo avere qualcosa
lei vuole. Quindi, abbiamo portato suo padre, e suo ex-fratello-a-è,
un giovane dal nome di Jasper Whitlock Trascina. Se lei vuole
risparmiare i loro viveri, lei deve venire e deve parlare con noi.
Lei ha finché il 3 novembre di arrivare, o faranno entrambi muore.
Venire e non moriranno Bella.
Aro Volturi
Oh dear god. The Volturi had Jasper and my dad. I tried to breathe. I ran outside, not bothering to stop and answer the other's questions. ONce far enough into the woods, I grabbed my cell phone and once again dialed Alice's phone number. "IS IT TRUE?" I screamed when she answered. She was sobbing. "Bella, they have Jasper! I don't know what to do!" "Calm, calm down Alice!" I said, even though I too was sobbing. "It's going to be alright. I just got a letter. All they want is for me to go there, and talk to them, and they won't...die. They also have my father, and I have until Novenber 3rd to get there. It will be alright Alice, I swear."
"Bella, you know I can't let you do that! You have to come here. Edward has disappeared, and I have no clue where he went. He won't answer his cell phone, even though I know he has it, and I don't know what to do!" ALice screamed. "I'll call him, as I'm leaving. He might've heard that horrible Cd. I think somebody took the Cd I made for Edward, and twisted it. It was horrible. They might have sent it to him. So I'll call him, and leave now." "Bella! No I...I should go, I can't let you risk your life!" "I'm going Alice! It's my job. I'm going to go, and you are going to stay in Forks okay?" She just sobbed harder, and I hung up, calling Edward's cell phone.
Beep. He didn't answer. "Edward Anthony Masen Cullen! Answer this god-damn phone! Jasper and my dad were taken by the Volturi, and I have to go there, and if you heard that Cd, it isn't true! If you heard the mean one that is! I really do love you Edward!" He answered at the end. "Bella. I won't believe this mess anymore. This is the third time you have told me this, and I'm not going to listen anymore." "But Edward, please it's true. I'm on the plane right now, but Edward, I love you! I swear it's true, but someone is trying to tear us apart!" I screamed. I heard a sigh, and a click.
Edwrd had hung up on me. I was sitting on the plane, and began sobbing. "Excuse me miss, are you alright?" A woman with a faux worried look, and bright red hair stood next to me. "GET AWAY FROM ME! NO I'M NOT OKAY! THE LOVE OF MY LIFE THINKS I HATE HIM, AND HIS BROTHER AND MY FATHER WERE JUST KIDNAPPED! DO YOU THINK I'M OKAY?! SO JUST GO AWAY, AND MIND YOUR OWN FUCKING BUISNESS!" I screamed at her. She backed up, and fell into a man's lap. She hurriedly stood, and ran into a different section of the airplane. I pulled out my cell phone to check the time. (AN. I know this isn't right, because she left Edward two months after he came back, but scratch that okay? None of what happened in Eclipse happened, or Breaking Dawn. This happens instead. It is now October.) October 30th, 11:59 PM. It was almost Halloween.
The man next to me patted my hand and whispered. "It's alright. Everything will work out, I swear. The man you love will learn eventually, and everything will turn out fine, I swear." I smiled slightly. That was easy for him to say. His life must be practically perfect. Another line was brought to my thoughts. Do not assume that he who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. His life may also have much sadness and difficulty, that remains far beyond yours. Were it otherwise, he would never have been able to find these words. Maybe his life wasn't perfect, but it must be a hell of a lot better than my life was. The plane finally lifted into the air, heading towards New York. From there I would head to Volterra Italy.
--
I got closer to my home, and heard Alice's frantic thoughts... in Italian. La potrebbe come fa quell'Edward?! Il Bella non mentiva! L'ama realmente, ed il Volturi ha realmente Jasper ed il suo babbo! Proprio ora rischia la sua vita di volare a Volterra Italia e prova di risparmiarli! DIO a volte lei può essere tale idiota! Che il Cd che lei ha sentito non era fatto da Bella! Giuro Edward, non mentirei a lei! (AN. English Translation- How could you do that Edward?! Bella wasn't lying! She really does love you, and the Volturi really do have Jasper and her dad! Right now she is risking her life to fly to Volterra Italy and try to save them! GOD sometimes you can be such a moron! That Cd you heard wasn't made by Bella! I swear Edward, I wouldn't lie to you!)
I threw open the front door. Bella hadn't been lying? I doubted that. Jasper's thoughts were absent though, everyone's thoughts revolving around his disappearance. That part was true. The Volturi really did have him. I saw Alice's vision from before. Bella sat on an aiplane, sobbing as she hung up her phone. A woman with a false concerned look on her face, and flaming red hair walked up. "Excuse me miss, are you alright?" Bella screamed at the woman, "GET AWAY FROM ME! NO I'M NOT OKAY! THE LOVE OF MY LIFE THINKS I HATE HIM, AND HIS BROTHER AND MY FATHER WERE JUST KIDNAPPED! DO YOU THINK I'M OKAY?! SO JUST GO AWAY AND MIND YOU OWN FUCKING BUISNESS!" The woman backed away, adn the man next to Bella comforted her. Then the vision went black. Bella was risking her life to save my brother. She may not truely love me, but I still loved her. I couldn't let her do that. Alice put her hand on my arm. "Edward. It's too late. The plane is already on it's way to New York, and Bella is the only one that can save them. It has to be her.I shook my head. I was going.
AN. Did you like it? I don't really think it's that good, but it's definately interesting right? I mean at least it provides entertainmant, or something. Whatever, I dont care if it sucks. I'm going to submit it anyway.
