AN: This will probably be the last chapter I can do tonight but I will try to update again tomorrow. But it depends on whether I can get the computer tomorrow or not.
Chapter 4
When I left the Volturi with two shadows behind me I started plotting how to force their hand. I could just show off my strength and then they would get rid of me but that might not work and they may stop me first. So that plan was definitely out. I was very thirsty so then I entertained the idea of going on a killing spree throughout the city. It would be quick and my last moments wouldn't be used in complete pain since the bloodlust would take over my thoughts and actions. But then I though of my face when I had hunted humans and I didn't want to hurt Carlisle anymore than I already would. Not to mention if Bella was looking down on me from heaven like the angel I always knew she was she would be so disappointed. Unbidden another thought of her went through my mind.
Bella and I were in the hospital after James attacked her. She was looking very distressed and cried out desperately, "Edward don't leave me!" I had responded that I wouldn't.
I nearly collapsed as I remembered that. Yet another thing I lied to her about. How I wished I never had. If only she had known how much I truly do love her she wouldn't be gone right now. I was a monster and she threw away her life for me. I remembered the day at the meadow when we had pronounced our love for each other. How awed she had been at me in the sunlight. The sunlight…
That was it! I had heard the local here talking about St. Marcus Day when supposedly all the vampires had left. The Volturi had been very careful to keep it that way and I knew it would cause them to react that much quicker if I made my move at that time. I thought about my plan some more and decided I should do it at noon when the sun was the highest and step out into the center of the plaza.
My plan being set I just had to wait. I decided to spend my last few hours on this earth with my thoughts of Bella.
A/N: I am really touched by the three reviews I have gotten so far and I really appreciate it! I'm sorry this chapter was so short and I promise to update soon. I hope you enjoy it! Please review!
