He can see how much happy and thrilled everyone is. This is the place they consider their home after all. Their joyful mood is actually helping him being slightly relaxed. Now, he has to wait, for something he doesn't know anything about. Where is his fate leading him to? He just wants to find his solace.

He needs to clear her head. He doesn't want to dampen the bright mood of his family. He sighs and get up from the loveseat in the living room of their house in Forks. He needs to hunt.

Edward, you know you can't hunt here. He hears Alice and rolls his eyes. It isn't like that he wasn't one of those who were present when the treaty was established. Don't roll your eyes at me, brother. I just want you to be safe, that's all. Yes, he definitely knows that and also that he doesn't deserve their adoration. Letting out a deep breath he starts towards the front door.

The daylight has faded beyond the horizon. Another twilight has come and gone again. He looks at the dark forest outside of their house.

It's time to hunt.

It's time to be the soulless monster he really is.

She thinks there's a faint knock on her door. She ignores it. The person knocks again, again and again. She hears a distance voice calling her from the other side of the door. She forces herself to come back to the present. Yes, definitely someone is knocking.

"Bella? Open the door for me, please? This is Angela." She hears the voice calling her, "Bella, are you awake? Will you please open the door for me?"

She is shocked that Angela would come to her house in this ungodly hour. She compels her unwilling body to move and slowly heads to the door; and after taking a much needed gulp of air, she opens the door, revealing a slightly nervous and excited Angela who grins at her.

Bella opens her mouth to ask her about the reason of coming here this early in the morning, but her friend beats her to it. "Good morning, Bella." She says brightly. Seeing the confusion clearly written all over her dear friend's face, she says, "Oh my friend, let me come in first."

Bella smiles faintly at her and moves aside to let her in her room. She watches as Angela takes a look of her surroundings, then looks at her way, "It's been a while since I've been here, isn't it?"

Bella feels a pang of guilt hearing those words. What has she become? When has she come to be this selfish? She has pushed away her friends and family. Gulping she looks at her friend, her pain is clearly visible in her hollow eyes, "I'm so sorry." She whispers.

Angela can't bear it anymore. She wants her lively, happy friend back. She rushes towards Bella and engulfs her in a hug, clutching her tightly. "It's not your fault, Bella." She whispers feverishly, rocking the small, fragile frame of her friend. "Everything will be okay. Believe me. It has to."

Angela drags her to the bed and sits down on it with her, holding her as Bella sobs holding onto her friend for her dear life. "Let it all go. Cry as long as you want. I'm here for you." She tries to sooth her.

When her sobs begins to faint and her tears dry, Bella looks up at Angela and croaks, "Thanks Angie," she can't express how grateful she is to have a friend like her in her life. Angela gives her a reassuring smile and squeezes her hand. "Now, go ahead and clean up. I'll be downstairs for you when you're finished." Giving her a last smile she gets up and leaves the room.

After freshening up, Bella heads towards the stairs. After a moment of hesitation, she sets her wobbling feet on them and starts where Angela is waiting for her.

Entering the kitchen she takes a look around her. This place used to be her one of favorites to pass her time. She loves to cook; she realizes how much she has missed this place. But the thing is she doesn't cook anymore. Not for her or for Charlie.

Oh God, Charlie. How much time has passed since she has hugged her father? Or made his favorites? All the things come crashing down on her.

"Bella!" Angela comes running towards her. She has seen her to zone out. She holds her and makes her sit down on the nearby chair. "Take deep breaths," she urges her and goes to fetch a glass of water for her.

"Here, drink this." She holds the edge of the glass between her lips and when Bella complies, she lets out a relived breath.

Bella nods her head to indicate that she is okay. Her furious heart beats have decreased and she is feeling fine. "I'm better now. Thank you."

"It's okay. Let's break the fast." Angela smiles.

…..….

After Angela leaves she goes back to her room feeling slightly relaxed. It's been what seems like a lifetime ago she has spent time with her friends. She is really thankful that she has Angela as her friend.

He scans through the countless minds roaming around the city. He walks along the footpath, just like other human beings. This thought makes him smirk. He is anything but that. He is a soulless monster, right now walking among the alive in search of blood. His soul has been damned that day, the last day of his human existence.

Shaking out the thoughts about his pathetic existence, he focuses on his task. He can always wallow in his self-misery later.

Today has been astonishingly good so far. In the evening Charlie has come home and she has tried her best to spend time with him. As tempting being in the solitude of her room sounds, she has forced herself to be brave and has gone downstairs to wait for her father. He's been taking care of her all this time after all. She has to do this for her father.

And then again another night comes. Lying down on her bed she decides she has to get out of this house. Maybe she needs some fresh air to breath. She closes her eyes and urges for sleep to come.

If only she could go back to him…

A/N: I know, I know nothing much happened in this chapter. But this chapter was necessary. So, Bella wants to get out of the house. Hmm… wonder where she will go. Will they meet sometime soon? I really, really hope so.

Hope to see you soon.

Lots of love for you all! xxx
