Edward doesn't leave in new moon. Bella carries on with life as normal, but what happens when a certain vampire comes to see Carlisle. To her surprise, they have a special bond. What will Edward do about it?
Soul mate

I was crumpled in Marcus' arms, sobbing my heart out. He was my soul mate, not Edward. I can't believe this is happening. Why now? Why did it happen when everything was great? I had hurt Edward. I had broken and shattered his heart. He had taken a chance on me. He hadn't left for good. He had ignored the incident, with Jasper, on my birthday. He had given his soul to me, his whole heart. I had ripped him to pieces.
'Bella, it's okay. Don't cry my angel.' My angel? I looked up at him, choking out sobs, and gave him a confused look. He smiled a gentle, loving smile. I wrapped my arms around his waist and buried my face into the crook of his neck.

I wrapped my arms around her. Yes, she was my angel and no one could tell me any different.
That's when Edward walked through the door. His eyes scanned the room, stopping on Bella and myself. Bella had fallen asleep in my arms.
'I'm sorry Marcus, for the way I acted. I love her more than my life and I would do anything for her, and if you are what is best for her, then I won't stand between you. I will protect her though. Keep her safe Marcus; I trust you with her life. I'll show you to your room and you can put Bella on the bed.' He stood up and walked and started towards the stairs.
'Edward?' He looked at me. 'I'll find it; go hunt in the woods. Towards the La Push boundary line and about a mile west of it, there is a clearing. I think you will find something of great satisfactory there.' He gave me a confused look, but did what I had said.
I picked Bella up and made my way up stairs. I knew my way to the room because I had stayed here once before. I had been in the same amount of trouble then, with my brothers. This was before Carlisle had begun to add to his family. But the troubled had sub-sided then. This time I was not sure. It is fine to forgive someone once for this behaviour but a second time was almost unforgivable.
I laid my angel down on the bed and kissed her forehead. I looked at her beautifully innocent form and instantly felt a pang of guilt rack through my mind. The guilt of my vampire life never shook me, but there was something about her that brought out emotions I hadn't felt in years. Not even with Didyme, but when I had met Didyme, I was too human. Now I was a millennia old vampire, wiser, braver and emotionless. After she had died, I had lost all sense of living, it was also the reason I had been in trouble the first time.
I felt guilt for all the humans I had killed, for the first time since I had become a brother of the Volturi. I had killed so many to live. Back then, I would think that it was all a part of life, the food chain. I had not been drawn to the idea of feeding on animals when Carlisle had explained it. It was a thought to make me sick, but now it didn't seem so bad. Now the thought of feeding on humans would make me sick. Imagining it was Bella, making me angry, almost enough to attack any vampire who tried to feed off of humans.
From the moment, I had met Bella, I had completely changed. I had decided that I would hunt animals and not humans. I loved her too much to carry on that way.
Bella gave my life meaning, it was like she filled the endless gap in my heart.
Mine and Didyme's relationship had been completely different. It was almost human. I had never felt the gravity pull with her. I was never in pain about being away from her. It just wasn't the same. My mind was clouded over by the human recognition of love, not the soulful vampire love I felt for Bella.
The love I felt for Bella was pure, unconditional and completely natural. It was the kind of aching love that would never end. The love that, giving an example: If you were the happiest person in the world and nothing could change that, then one day, your soul mate dies, you become suicidal. It was the love that even if I was as close, to the person, as I could get, it would never be close enough. It was the kind of love that if I had everything in the world, but my soul mate, it would never be enough. I'd never felt this way before, not even when my emotions were at their borderlines. Not even as a human, had I ever felt this way, about anything or anyone, before. I never wanted to lose this feeling. The love for Didyme was somehow forced and misty.

I awoke on a soft bed, with warm sun rays shining on my skin. I smiled at the peaceful feeling. I opened my eyes, to look out of the window, the sun glowing through. There was a gleaming body standing in front of the window. The man was wearing dark wash jeans, his top half was naked. His beautiful chest was completely toned. His face was like shimmer paper, then he spoke in a deep silky voice, 'Good morning Bella.' He turned around and instantly chuckled at my gawking expression. I blushed deep shades of red and looked down, smiling to myself. He walked over to me at human speed and lifted my chin with his index finger. The moment our eyes met, I became fixed within a trance. He leant down and placed a chaste kiss on my lips.
'How's Edward?'
'Don't worry, he's fine. I hope you don't mind but I tried to make him happy. His soul mate happens to be in the area, so I sent him there.'
'Thank you Marcus.'
He smiled and I gave him one in return.

I ran and ran. Why did Marcus want me to come here to hunt? I had just given my Bella away to him, my Bella. I loved her; I gave her my heart, my soul. Bella never knew this but we were about to leave, because of the incident on her birthday. I, now, knew what I would have done to Bella. I would have destroyed her.
I reached the clearing. There was a girl there, with feathered, bleach blonde hair, down to her waist. She was very petite and just two inches taller than Alice. She turned around, when a twig snapped under my foot. Her eyes were electric blue and she was very pale, signalling she was a vampire. Her eyes became wide. I, soon, realised why.
