A/N: Hi everyone, I'm back! Since every review requested it, this chapter is in EPOV.

Also, I noticed I made a few spelling/typing mistakes. I will clean it up, but for now, you have to live with it ;)

But now, on with the story.

EPOV

As I run towards Denali, I wondered why they needed me there. Alice had sounded like it was very important. The only thing I could come up with was that someones life was in danger. What else could be more important then hunting down that vile woman that had threatened my only love. I might have left Bella, but it was for her own good. Being around me has proven to be dangerous. She deserves a long, happy, human life. She was to stubborn to see that.

When I entered the front lawn of the Denalis, the first thing I noticed was the faint smell of strawberries, freesia and roses. It reminded me of Bella's scent. But of course, that was impossible.

I saw Alice and Tanya standing on the front porch. "Why did you need me to come, Alice?" I asked, coming straight to the point. I couldn't be bothered if they thought I was rude; I simply wanted to continue searching for Victoria.

"Someone would like to see you." Alice said with a mysterious smile.

I only had one second to wonder what she was hiding, before I heared feet running. I lifted my head to look at the person standing on the porch. And there she stood. She was even more beautifull than she had been. Her hair had become more auburn than brown, she was 5 cm taller than before and her figure had become more defined. And at last, her eyes were an intriguing bright red.

It would be an understatement to say I was shocked. Bella was standing before me, as a vampire. And the only thing my stupid mouth could bring out was a wispered "Bella?" I was feeling both hopefull and fearfull. Hopefull, since I could finally envision our perfect life together. I wouldn't be a danger to her anymore. Fearfull however, because she somehow became this way. I was afraid of the ways someone had hurt her to become like us.

I didn't have time to think anything else, because before I knew she was hugging me like her life depended on it. And it confirmed my worst fears, someone had hurt her, otherwise she wouldn't have runned to the one that broke her heart.

She was strong! I mean, I knew she would be strong, every newborn is strong. Still, I couldn't contain the low "ow". I instantly regretted it. Right now, she would probably realise the amount of hurt I put her in, and she would blame me for it for the rest of forever. And I deserved it.

However, the only thing she said was a wispered "I'm sorry".

She shouldn't be sorry! I deserved every pain she could give to me! I couldn't stand the insecure look on her face, so without further thought I took her in my own arms.

"Don't be" I said. I was cherising what could be the last moments of Bella in my arms.

But Alice had other ideas, since she started to shout at me mentally.

Edward! Listen to me!

My eyes quickly met hers to let her know I heard her.

It was Victoria who bit her. I don't know the details, since she didn't tell us. What we do know is that she probably has the gift of blocking other gifts. I can't see her future and Jasper isn't able to "feel" her.

I faintly noticed the last part that she "said". The only thing I could foces on was that name. Victoria. I had run all the way to Brazil, trying to stop her, while she had been in Forks, ending the human life of my love. I was truly a terrible tracker.

"Bella, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have left you. I should have stayed and protect you. Instead, I left trying to protect you from myself. I should have known better."

"It's alright. Esme already told me that you tried to protect me. I understand why you did it."

"I love you Bella, I still love you. I never stopped. I know I don't deserve it, but can you please forgive me?"

"I love you too Edward. And knowing your reasons, there is nothing to forgive."

I was amazed. Could she really forgive me, after all I had done? She surprised me yet again. And then, I felt her lips touch mine.

And I lost it. I probably looked like one of those vile teenage boys like Newton. I seemed like my self-restraint went out of the window. I couldn't hear any thoughts except of my own. My whole body was tingling. The only reason we stopped was for the gasped sounds surrounding us.

And I was amazed yet again. Surrounding Bella and me was an almost invisible dome. Had I been human, I surely wouldn't be able to see it.

Knowing the basic of how gifts work, I quickly put one and one together.

"Bella, you truly are the most magnificent woman I know."
