Author's Note: Thanks so much to all of you who reviewed my story. I hope I don't disappoint you in this chapter. You guys gave me that boost I needed to write more. Srry for not updating sooner though. Hope you like!

We both stood there motionless waiting for the other to say something. The silence was killing me. He stared at me in disbelief with his wide topaz eyes as if he had just seen a ghost or something. There were no words to describe the situation. It felt like it was a dream more like a nightmare , but of coarse that wasn't possible. I felt something like when a kid got caught doing something they weren't suppose to like sneaking out of their house after their parents specifically said not to go out. But nothing felt like this. I wasn't sure if I was scared, angry or in plain shock like he was. His whole family thought I was dead and for him to see me 50 years later as a vampire, wow that must have been a great surprise to him. I desperately wanted to run in that moment that seemed to last forever. I was sure only a couple of seconds had gone by but believe me it felt like years. In fact it felt more like time had paused and only both of us were able to move. I was literally speechless. The strength I had built these past years to forget about the Cullens was slowly falling to pieces.

I waited and waited until the silence drew to an end.

"How is this possible" he whispered in amazement.

I didn't respond. I couldn't I was at my weakest point and couldn't speak or think at that moment. My eyes just stared at him, not in disbelief but in hatred.

"I don't understand your suppose to be...dead." I could see the confusion in his eyes but what showed more was the fear behind them.

Everyone stood around us just waiting for me to speak. William was on my left side while Aro and Demetri were behind me, Jane was standing behind Carlisle and Lillian to her right. It was total silence. The moment just got suspenseful by the minute.

I couldn't take it any longer. I drifted to a way out of here. I moved as fast as I could at a blink of an eye. I ran out of the building desperately looking for a way out. I searched and searched and finally I saw the wide open night sky. I ran out faster then I ever ran before. I was going to run all the way to the hotel. I wasn't in the condition to drive right now. Besides I needed the open space for once. I needed to think things through of what had just occurred.

I knew I had just ran off like a coward but I was absolutely not ready for this. I should have listened to Lillian this once and stayed back at the hotel. How could I not see this coming. I felt so stupid. All these years being so careful not to lead suspicion about our existence and now it had all been to waste for one little mistake of mine. Suddenly I felt for the first time ever that it had been best if I had just died that night in Forks. None of this would have happened.

In fact at that moment I wanted to kill myself, but there was no way I could. The only people that were capable of doing that were the people I had just ran from. Going back was the last thing on my mind. Nothing had prepared me for such encounter. No one could blame me for not being ready or maybe they could. But come on what were the chances of me running into one of them in this whole planet. Not likely that's for sure. That's why I never bothered to think of what would ever happen if something like this ever did occurred. Now look at the consequences.

I didn't know what I was going to do next. One thing was for sure, we had to leave the country fast. I know Lillian wouldn't agree with the idea but we had to leave and she had to understand. If she wanted to stay then that would be fine with me which I think that's what was most likely going to happen.

I ran and ran. It seemed like an eternity until I finally spotted the hotel a few miles away. I slowed down a bit until I got close enough to stop and walk at human speed.

I walked into the hotel not stopping to even look at anyone. I headed straight to my room. I opened the door and hurried to my bedroom. I took everything out of my closet my clothes, shoes, etc. It took me about 5 mins to get everything ready. I made sure nothing of mine was still here. I wanted to leave no trace of myself here as if I was never here which was exactly what I wanted. Suddenly I heard the door bell ring. Immediately I dropped what I was doing. I didn't know whether to get the door or not. I slowly walked to get it. I stopped once I was in front of it. Slowly I grab the door knob and turned it. I looked to see who it was once I opened it.

I was relieved.
It was Lillian.

"What in the world has gotten into you!" she yelled before I could say something.

"I mean you literally ran off and made yourself look bad! And why didn't you listen to me! I told you specifically not to come and get me! And what's the first thing you do, you come looking for me and look what happened!" she yelled so hard I knew she was mad.

"Bella! You should have trusted me! Don't you think when I said those words 'Stay Here!' it was for a reason!"

"Just SHUT UP LILLIAN!" I had had enough.

"I'm sorry that I didn't listen to you, I admit it OK I should have stayed here like you told me to. I should have trusted you that way none of this could have been happening right" I yelled as I felt the tears come down my face. "I know I made a big mistake and I'll probably be paying the consequences. But now I have to leave the country fast." I finished.

"Why the hell would you do that?" she asked.

"I want to pretend like none of this ever happened. Maybe if I leave the country now I'll never see him again. I want to leave no trace of me as if I never came to Italy and lived what I just did about 30 minutes ago."

"Do you honestly think that's going to work?"

"I don't know ,but it's worth a shot"

"But Bella your forgetting that he saw you too. If you leave he'll just find a way to look for you and eventually he will."

"I know but he'll have a ..."

Not again. I didn't need to think twice this time. I knew he was here now. My plan had been ruined. Before I finished the sentence there was a knock on the door and we both knew who it was.

"Bella you have to talk to him" Lillian told me. "I've seen he his past he won't tell anyone not even him. I trust him. Besides if you run away again he'll find you and sooner or later you'll have to confront him".

I couldn't believe I was saying this but "your right" I said. She was I couldn't run away every time I saw him or he was near. He knew I was alive and nothing was going to stop him now. Sooner or later he was going to find me. And Carlisle was trustworthy I guess.

I slowly walked to the door just as before but this time I knew it was him for sure. It seemed ages when I finally got there. I opened the door to reveal the person I had to face.

I didn't know what to say to him. I was speechless.
