Here's the next chapter! I hope you all like it!
Bella's P.O.V.
It's hard to be around my family. Not because I'm a vampire and their blood appeals to me, because it dosn't, but because they are weeping over me, touching me, hugging my 'dead' body, and whispering to each other.
I, Bella Swan, am laying in a coffin. Huh, ironic right? Vampire in a coffin, that's funny. Those stupid, human folktales.
No, I'm not dead in that sense of the word. More acting and pretending than anything. I could hear Alice, Edward, Esme, Rosalie, Renee, and Charlie sobbing. I knew that the Cullen's were pretending, but Charlie and Renee's sobs tugged at my dead, unbeating heart. If I were human I would have cried. Then again, if I were human, I actually would be dead. The only thing that kept me from running over to comfort everyone, was Edward's family. They would all be revealed, and most likely killed by the Volturi.
"Bella, I'm so, so sorry. Baby, I miss you so much. Bella-" I heard Renee's voice choke up at the end. Something soft was pressed into my hand.
It was my old blanket that kept away the 'evil monsters' under my bed as a little kid. My heart felt as if it had been broken into a million peices. She had kept it that long? I was touched. I knew that this would be the last time I would ever see my family ever again. I cracked my eyes open and looked up. Renee's face was red and blotchy, and she was sobbing into a scrap of lace.
"Mommy, don't be sad, I'm free and happy now. I'm not hurting anymore. I'll always be there with you." I said, only loud enough for her to hear. I didn't dare move my lips, but said this through my teeth.
"Be-Bella?" She looked around, then back at me.
I repeated the sentence, and Renee looked up amazed.
"Charlie! Don't be sad! Bella's spirit came to me, she said she was free and happy now! She's not hurting anymore! She said she'll always be there with us! Her spirit will! Oh Phil!" I heard her say crying again, tears of sorrow and joy now.
"Renee Bella's gone." Charlie said, sounding depressed.
"Then you go stand over there, see if she says anything!" Renee cried.
I heard Rosalie mumble something to Jasper about me being an idiot, and that I should probably shut up before I expose them.
"Shut up Rosalie." I said loud enough that only a vampire could hear me. I heard Emmett let out a low, quiet chuckle.
"Bella?" Charlie asked, "Is your spirit here with us?" He asked.
"Yes Daddy. I'm happy now. Don't be sad, and whenever you go down to La Push, try to cheer up Jake. Don't let him be too sad. Daddy, I'll always watch over you. I love you Daddy, be nice to Edward please, as my final wish.I have to go now. Bye Charlie." I whispered, still not moving my lips.
"Renee! Oh My God! Renee! Her Spirit! She told me to not let Jacob get too sad, and to be nice to Edward! Renee! Bella! She's happy now!" I heard Charlie collapse into a chair, and the sound of his tears falling.
"Let's all say a few words for our dearly departed. Bella Swan. A young girl full of life, hope, and happiness. She was taken from this Earth too early a time, by the deadly monster that is cancer. We will miss her greatly." The priest said.
After everyone gave their sentiments, I was lowered into the ground where dirt was piled on top of me. I lay there about nine hours, when I heard footsteps coming. I really hope that it's someone to get me out of here.
I heard Edward's voice saying, "Okay Bella, push your way through."
I pushed the lid of the coffin through the dirt easily, and stepped out of the hole. Then I helped Edward put the coffin and dirt back in place.
Almost instantly, Edward's lips met mine. There was a new passion in this kiss.
"You've been holding out on me." I accused.
He just laughed, then scooped me up, and ran me to the volvo. We got in, then drove back to his house.
"Bella! Why did you talk to your parents?! That was stupid!" Rosalie yelled at me when we got there.
"I wanted to say bye." I said evenly.
Rosalie was about to retort, but she stopped. "Fine." She said, turnng back to Emmett.
I stayed holed up in the Cullen's house for a couple weeks, when Carlisle announced that we were all moving to Alaska to better hide me from the people who thought me to be dead.
We packed everything up, and left the next day. We got on a plane, me in the cargo hold, and flew to Alaska.
We got off the plane, Edward retrived me from the hold, and I left to see my new home.
It was like a giant log cabin. We were living next to a frozen wilderness, so we could hunt, and incidentally, we had cable and internet.
One night, everyone but Edward and I were hunting, so we were just sitting around, watching the t.v., when Edward got up off the couch, and shut the t.v. off. I stood up as well, and Edward turned to me.
"Bella can I ask you something?" He asked.
"You just did, but yeah, go ahead." I said.
"Okay then, wait for me to finish before you interupt." He said, I just nodded.
He got down on one knee, and then it hit me.
"Isabella Marlie Swan. I promise to love you forever, will you marry me?" He asked.
He pulled an ornate ring from his pocket, and held it out to me.
"Edward- I- don't know what to say." I said.
"Say yes." He said.
"Yes." I breathed finally.
His face broke into a breathtaking grin, he took my hand, and put the ring on it.
"Did you spend a lot on this? Lie to me if you did." I said, looking at it.
"Not one cent. It was my mother's ring." Edward said, his molten gold eyes looking into my reddish-gold ones.
"Edward, I love you. More than anything." I said pulling myself to him.
"Bella, thank you for giving my life meaning." He said pressing his lips to mine.
