This story has a lot of my own views that would probably be considered conservation. I do not belong to any religion because I'm dedicated so I don't mean to offend anyone.
Thank you Karen for reading this chapter and helping me in the tough parts.

Edward's Pov-
I didn't even have to turn around to know who was behind me. The wolf could be smell from miles away. When matter right now was Bella was dying. Never before have I heard such a faint heartbeat. Each beat was weaker then the pervious, each breath farther apart. I knew not even if I bit her would she survive. Desperately I started CPR knowing it would help, but I had to try. Behind me the wolf, Sam talked.
"Get off of our land you know the treaty still holds. I will kill you if you don't leave now."
I didn't even realize that I was responding to him. "Bella…have to save her…can't leave her…please."
I continued with the CPR the wolf, had stopped talking, he was thinking about going to get help for Bella. By the time he was ready to leave time had ran out. Bella Swan, the love of my life, died. My biggest fear had come true. Bella was dead, it was entirely my fault.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" I screamed and if I had tears I would be crying. I couldn't live in a world where she was dead. Knowing it was the only way I first kissed Bella's forehead and whispered "I love you" and then went to bit her neck. Before I was halfway there, the boy behind me phased into a beast. I didn't stop him as he tore me limb from limb.
Bella's Pov-
I woke up in our meadow with no idea how I got here. I wasn't alone so I knew I wasn't dreaming. Beside me was Edward. Somehow he was sleeping but, that was impossible. There was one more person out here with us. A woman with long blonde white hair stood there watching us. She wore a blue dress that was set up the way the ancient Greeks wore theirs and no shoes.
"Hello Bella. My name is Destiny. I control the fate of the world with the help of thousands of angels. I am s-"
I had to interrupt her, "I died didn't I?" I was so stupid. Why did I do it? "Why is Edward here he can't die."
"If you remember the stories werewolves can kill vampires. One killed him for going to bite you after you died. He knew it wouldn't save you, but he didn't want to live in a world without you."
Behind me I heard Edward sigh, as if he was still tired, but when he saw me he looked wide awake.
"Bella are you ok? I thought I was going to loose you. Wait…how are we in the meadow? Who is she?"
Density spoke again starting off with her name and what she does, the same thing she said to me before I cut her off. "I am sorry. I am the real reasons you too are here. Because of the vast numbers of people in the world my kind have long ago stop keeping track of mystical and supernatural creatures. Generally, with Bella being 1 of only 5 to ever not do so, humans stay away from non-humans, if they can help it. When I saw Edward and his family had began school and stopped killing humans I should have had them watched over too. Instead I incidentally let you both slip through the cracks."
Edward then asked, "You mean we made our own fate? I thought that was only possible on Terminator movies and stuff like that."
"Yes. I don not mean to say that mortals have no free will, though. We guide them through life with things that would be smart to do or that would make the person happy. Sometimes people are more independent without us on making choices but we are there for the rest. Everyone alive was born with a soul mate already chosen, not by us, before their soul was given a body. People are reborn until they find their other half. When they do they get to stay together forever in heaven. What we do is try to get the soul mates together."
My mind was swimming with all the new information I had to sort through. Surprisingly I only had one question.
"Are Edward and I soul mates?"
Destiny smiled and said, "Yes, you were supposed to meet in 1952 at a classical music performance. When he became a vampire we thought that it would never happen so we were planning to see if you could find a new soul mate, but I am finding out it doesn't work like that. You two didn't even have to look to find each other as it was meant to be. Even our mistake couldn't keep you apart."
This lead to another question, "Do we get to go to heaven."
Her smile faded. "I am afraid you can't. Not yet at least. Instead of the two of you becoming ghost as you would have because of your needs you get another chance to find each other. You will be reborn and the cycle will continue as it would have originally until you find each other."
Edward now asked, "Can't we stay here together?"
Neither of us was ready to say goodbye again. The last time we were separated did us no good at all.
"It doesn't work that way. You have until midnight, that 1 hour and 20 minutes. If you wish to check on your families look through the lake up ahead and you will be able to see them. I must go now, just say my name if you have anymore questions. I'll see you both soon." She then abruptly disappeared in a swirling light.
Edward began to speak before I could, "Bella, I am so sorry I did this to you. I was planning to come back. I never wanted to leave you in the first place but I was scared I would just ruin your chance of a relatively normal life. I really do love you."
"I love you too Edward. You don't have to be sorry I made my mistakes. It was so stupid of me to do all of this."
Before I could blame my self anymore Edward kissed me like he never did before. Here there were no boundaries needed. When we pulled apart we just held each other not ready for the fact that it will be a while before we are together again after tonight.
After a few moments Edward mentioned the lake. I just nodded. I knew what I would see we would be very painful, it would be all my fault. We walked hand and hand trying to keep strong for the other. Not sure what to do we just looked down. Through the clear water we say everyone from school in the assembly room. Many were crying.
Mr. Banner our old biology teacher stood at the podium on stage. "As you all know Friday evening two of our students were killed in a car accident. School will be closed for that day and counseling is available for any who need it. Edward Cullen was as bright a young man I've ever seen. Bella Swan was a caring intelligent young lady. I'm sure it was obvious to anyone who has seen them how much they loved each other. My heart goes out to both their families. They will both be missed terribly."
That was more painful then I expected. The scene then changed to the Cullen house, now full of people.
Esme was dry sobbing in a corner, Carlisle just held her, looking as if he was crying too. Emmett stood facing out the window clearly upset but trying to stay strong. Alice and Rose were on the couch trying to comfort each other. Jasper was out of the house, clearly unable to deal with everyone else's emotions and his own at the same time.
I looked at Edward who never looked so sad or so much in pain. Not knowing what to say I just hugged him. Before I could brace myself the scene changed once more.
This time we were in my house. Charlie was almost unrecognizable. He looked as if he hadn't slept in days, on top of that his face was puffy red and he hasn't shaven in a while.
In his hand was a picture of me from my childhood. I was dressed as a princess and had tried to put make up on but messed up so badly. Lipstick covered my face.
Without thought I whispered, "I'm sorry daddy." A tear crept down my cheek.
I then saw Renee in the yellow cabinet kitchen; her head was on Phil's. I wished I could see her face. I could hear her sob, "I was supposed to go first not her. She's my baby girl. Why her Phil? I haven't even seen her in months." This brought on even more heartbreaking crying.
I felt as if my heart was torn out of me. How could I've done this to them? The scene change once more, to a television inside the only decent dinner in town.
Friday evening this Forks Township lost to of its residents. From what we know Bella Swan 18 and her boyfriend Edward Cullen18 were visiting each other for the first time since Mr. Cullen moved. After taking a drive they lost control of the car, possible avoiding some kind of animal, driving off a cliff. Ms. Swan's body has been recovered and her funeral is Wednesday and is open for everyone. Mr. Cullen's body has yet to be found but his memorial will be directly after the funeral.
Edward was silent but held me tightly in his arms. We didn't talk except for occasional "I love you." Too soon Destiny came back.
"It's time."
I began to cry and beg, "No please no. Not yet please no." I held on to Edward tighter.
He looked right into my eyes and said" Bella I promise I will find you. No matter what we'll be together again. I love you."
I didn't even get to say it back when we both disappeared in the swirling light.
