Hey! This isn't one of my usual chapters, this is only BONUS! My A/N at the bottom should explain this better, at least I hope so. There will still be one tomorrow, so don't be upset that this is barely 1,000 words.

Enjoy, please!

Bonus Chapter One: Denali

Edward's Point of View

My plane touched down in Denali, where the rest of my family were already waiting. Alice and Jasper where the only two who had been there before; Carlisle and Esme had been on Isle Esme, Rosalie and Emmett had been honeymooning in New York, I had been…

I never did manage to go kill Diego; as soon as Alice told me that, I knew I wasn't going to be staying down here all that long. In fact, I immediately got tickets for the first plane headed north after we hung up.

It was the very end of September, so it was obviously going to be a little chillier than it had been, but when you go from the jungle to Canada, I don't care if you are a vampire, you're going to notice. Especially when it's snowing, little white flakes covering everything. It reminded me of Bella, and one of the first things she ever said to me.

"I don't like the cold. Or the wet."

As if I didn't have enough things to worry about as it were. Now, and though I never truly forget about her, I had my mind centered on her. Now, instead of thinking solely of this, the family meeting, I would be thinking of her, only of her.

I wondered where she was, what she was doing. I assumed that she was still in Forks, probably in the kitchen, preparing supper for her father. Hopefully she hadn't forgotten me, but she would be over me. Forever, as long as I continued in this life, I would love her, and only her. Bella, however, would fall in love many times, and eventually, I would just have been her first love, her first boyfriend, and nothing more. Measly a high school crush.

During the time I was thinking of Bella, I had ran all the way to the Denali's, to where the only other vegetarians we knew of maintained residency.

Instead of knocking, I just barged inside, slamming the door open, and leaving it like that, calling for my family. Esme reached me first, running to me, and giving me a hug. Alice and Rosalie followed suit, though Rose continued to call me an idiot. Jasper gave me a nod, and a smile, while Emmett punched me on the shoulder and picked me up, twirling me around in a hug. Then Carlisle entered the room. He smiled warmly, and his only thoughts centered around his family, us, and how he was happy that we were all together. That was when he backtracked. All of us, but one. He tried to hide it from me, how he actually felt, but I knew the truth. He reviewed his memories, again, he hadn't wanted to, yet he did. I saw how everyone else had acted since we left. No one smiled, or laughed, or acted as themselves. They all wallowed around, even Rosalie. My sister who had been jealous, had even missed the object of her jealousy. Carlisle would always love me as his son, secretly his favorite. But, he would always love Bella as his daughter, and I had taken her from him. From all of them, from myself. And, even though I found no resentment in his thoughts, and even though he hugged me, I felt guilty. I was to blame, no one but myself. I had ruined this family, just as Alice had said.

"I'm sorry," I whispered.

They all just smiled at me, it wasn't one of happiness, but one of sorrow. And I had caused it.

Alice spoke up, changing the subject so that I wouldn't wallow in my self-loathing and pain. She always brought up my spirits when I didn't deserve it.

"We need to talk, Edward, about this. The war. And…I had a vision of her."

"What about her?" I demanded, not caring about the other things suddenly.

"Later. We need to talk about the war. Then we'll talk about Bella."

Edward, look, I know what's most important to you, she's most important to all of us. Regardless, you need to know more about the war then you do, because that will help everyone, even Bella. Okay? And thanks for coming home; we all need you.

I smiled at her inconspicuously.

"Okay," Esme said. "As much as I'm opposed to war, we need to know everything, right? Alice," she called, glancing at my favorite sister. "What can you tell us about this big fight?"

"Well, Esme, it's mostly just a pissing contest. It's between two groups: The Cold Ones, and our mascots are the Volturi. The other group is The Originals. All we know is that the leaders name is Klaus. Apparently, he's practically unbeatable, which only can be said for him and his family, not the original race. I'm not sure why they're fighting, but it was the first thing I saw. My first vision was of this."

I remembered that; her vision, though I hadn't seen it when she first had it, was one she had had multiple times, because she relived it every night. It started with them both in this gigantic field, buds were just beginning to bloom, so you could tell it was springtime. On both sides, either a group of werewolves, or some form of shape shifters stood, protecting their chosen race. For vampires, they walked slowly, both attempting to draw it out. The Cold Ones walked with arrogance, as if they knew they would win. The Originals, or at least the one I assumed was Klaus, smiled happily, and it seemed even less of a façade than that of the Volturi. From what I could tell…

"Aro is scared," I told them.

You got that, too? I tried not to think about it, I mean, what has ever scared Aro? If he's terrified, and of an unbeatable original, how could we win?

"Why's he scared? How horrible can they be?" This was Rosalie. She wasn't scared for herself, only us, and especially Emmett. If she didn't make it, she wouldn't have to survive without her mate. Though, she knew Emmett would do something stupid to get his revenge, so that's what scared her the most out of this whole ordeal.

Everyone feared for their mate. Who did I fear for? Bella wasn't my responsibility anymore. And, not that I deserved it, nor did I want it, but no one first and foremost thought about me, and how they would be without me. They all cared about me, of course, but their world wouldn't end if mine did. And I missed that, rather I be the one with those feelings, or the one receiving those feelings.

"Very, Em. They have powerful people on their side. They have witches."

"But, not all witches can be on that one side can they?" Jasper asked.

"Many aren't. But, the ones that are, are most likely there because they're slaves. When a vampire saves a witch, that witch is enslaved to them, until they are even, and a witch has done something in return," Carlisle offered, remembering coming across them before he had created even me.

"This is all we know, isn't it?" I asked Alice.

She nodded her head. "Yeah, it is." She looked up at me, then sighed, and took Jaspers hand in hers. "Edward, it's the first vision I've had of her since we left her. She's different. She's not happy, of course, and she's not wallowing in her pain, but it's there, and she won't forget it. And she left. Bella isn't in Forks anymore, Edward. She's in Virginia, with an uncle, and…"

"And what?" I seethed, too scared to get into her mind.

"Well, she's with…other people."

"Other people? Like who, Alice?"

"Oh, Edward! She's with the vampires from the front of the line. She's with the originals that are fighting right alongside of Klaus."

Did you like it okay? This was mostly just a bonus chapter, though you hopefully got some important things from this. Like, the last sentence, perhaps.

Okay, well, because this chapter wasn't posted on my usual schedule, I won't be adding my thanks until the next one. Still, I appreciate everything that you guys do, I'm just not going to go into any specifics.

Anyways, next chapter will be in Bella's POV, unless I do another short, bonus chapter, and that would be in Aro's POV again. I don't particularly like writing for him, because, as I said, he's just icky. But, he's kind of interesting, and he knows a lot more than the Cullens do, so you guys should like that. Either way, I'm definitly going to post a Bella chapter tomorrow, I'm just not sure about when I should thrown in another Volturi one. So, if anyone is reading this, can someone tell me their opinion? Would you like an Aro chapter, or not? Is there any other charachter, Twilight or VD, that you would to see with their own POV chapter? PM and tell me, so I can write something you'll like. Oh, and, I'm thinking about doing short little bonus chapters each day, and if there's someone who you want to see, TELL ME!

Well, that's it. Thanks for wasting your time on me, and my silly people pleasing rants.
