Well here is Chapter 7! This is basically chapter six but through Edward's perspective.

I wanted to convey both Edward and Bella's perspective.

Please review! I hope you like it!!!!

7.) Wishing For Death

Bella came through the doors, struggling. The moment I saw her I felt like the sky had been lifted off my shoulders. That feeling was brief, but appreciated. I knew what Aro was planning now.

He was planning on torturing my Bella. He wanted nothing more than to kill her and all my family. He just needed an excuse for it. He was concerned about his control over everyone. He thought that if he got rid of all of us, he would never have to worry about losing his precious control again; with Bella alive that was impossible. I watched in horror as my wife was led to her death like a pig for slaughter. I struggled to get away from my restrainers, but there were five of them against me, and I couldn't free my arms. Suddenly I heard her thoughts.

Edward. I love you. I love you. I love you. I missed you more than you can imagine. Oh Edward, I'm sorry this all happened, I should have fought harder or done something that would have prevented all of this. I love you.

I couldn't bear to hear the apologies in her head. I was the one that needed to apologize. This was entirely my fault. I wanted to tell her so many things, but realized what was most important.

"Bella I love you, I love you." I shouted across the room to her, but as I finished I heard Jane's evil thoughts.

She must die. I wish I could just give her a taste of pain…

"NOO!" I shouted, but it was too late. I saw and heard Bella gasp and fall to her knees, feeling Jane's power for the first time. I couldn't think through the pain of seeing Bella hurting like that. I was immobilized. She stood up again three seconds later, glaring at Jane. Then she answered Aro's question that I didn't hear.

"How do you think I am Aro? You cut my arms off and threw me into a cell. Does that sound like a happy picnic to you?"

Hearing her voice shot a jolt of relief through me. I lived off of that voice, that face, those lips. I needed to hold her. I struggled more than ever to break free and run to her, but my efforts were futile. I barely listened to the conversation happening in front of me, I just stared at my Bella and struggled. Then I heard Aro's thoughts.

Let us see how she reacts to this….. Aro looked at Felix.

"Felix will you make Bella see reason?"

He wanted to threaten Esme, which Bella would never allow, and then he they would hurt her. I struggled even more, but it wasn't enough. I was a failure. Then Felix punched Bella. I was livid. I would have shred Felix to pieces if I could have.

"What are you doing Felix?" Bella asked.

"Getting you to see reason. Open your shield."

"What? Why would I do that? Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Yes, I do, and this is why you would do that." Felix snapped his fingers and the man restraining Esme came forward.

"Bella, open your shield or I will kill her." Felix grinned, and then traced his finger along Esme's throat.

"Bella darling, don't do it. Don't do it. Don't listen to them." Esme cried, hoping desperately that Bella would listen, but I knew what Bella would do.

"Do you want her to die, Bella?" Felix asked again.

"Let her go Felix, it's already done." Bella said resignedly. Jane smiled at Bella, and Bella fell to the floor, squirming. She didn't scream, and soon she lay completely still, but I could hear her thoughts. She was in agony. She was using all of her control to say still and quiet. The pain of seeing and listening to her like that was worse than any pain I had ever felt. I was dying in a slow, tortured way. I couldn't make myself breathe. I heard her think to me that the reason she was good at staying still through pain was because when she changed, the morphine held her down. It was another gash to the already dying heart inside of me.

Jane was not happy that Bella seemed immune to her powers. She complained to Aro, who knew the way to test if Bella had put her shield down or not. He walked over to me. I didn't want him to hear Bella's pain. I hated giving him the joy of seeing the agony he was inflicting on Bella and me. I tried for a moment to elude his touch, but it was useless, and he put his hand on mine.

I read his shocked mind as he felt a glimpse of the pain Bella had been in, the anguish I was in, and he looked sharply at Bella.

"That is impossible. How did you not move or make any noise? You even had coherent thoughts as it was happening. There is no doubt that you felt all of it." He looked at Bella for a few more moments, amazed and frustrated, and then looked back at me, briefly thinking that I had tricked him somehow. He shook his head deciding against that.

He looked at Felix and nodded, and I read what he was thinking. He wanted Felix to stab Bella. My heart exploded, pain filling me like I had never felt anything before, and then I ceased to feel anything. I watched as Felix took out a slightly sharpened vampire bone, and stab Bella in the side with it. She didn't even see it coming, and gasped in pain. She shouted at Felix, but I didn't hear her words. I just listened to her thoughts. She was very angry. She wasn't thinking about the pain, only that she would never see her daughter again, and that she loved me. I wished for death.

Felix pulled the bone out of Bella and then stabbed it into her back again. I felt as if acid had filled by brain. I could hardly see anything but Bella, who thinking of kept me from losing myself to the blackness completely. Bella looked at me for a moment, wondering about the poor soul that had been ripped apart to serve as torture tools for Felix. Only Bella would think about that whilst being tortured.

When Bella looked away, Felix stabbed her again, and Jane tortured her at the same time. Bella screamed and fell to the floor. She writhed in agony for a longer amount of time, and when she finally managed to still herself, Felix pulled her up by the hair and stabbed her again.

I was a failure as a man and a husband. I couldn't even protect my wife. I deserved to die a billion tortured deaths. I wished they would be so kind as to grant that wish. None of those deaths could ever hold a candle to what I was feeling now.

Aro told Bella to stand up. She didn't think she could do it. She was in too much pain. She stood up slowly, and then was standing, shaking in front of Aro. He then told her to speak to him, but she was using all her strength just to stand. Aro wasn't even trying to hide his evil now.

I watched as Bella struggled to be able to speak, but when she opened her mouth, she screamed. Her screams were like a knife to my brain. She sank to her knees, giving up, and whispered,

"Rot----- In-----Hell------ You-----Evil----Despotic----Fiend'' After she had spoken those words, she stood up, staring angrily at Aro. Aro merely smiled happily.

"Stand and speak, Bella."

The anger in Bella's thoughts peaked, giving her strength.

"NOO! I HATE YOU!" she shouted, and then Felix stabbed her again. Bella whirled around at an amazing speed and flung herself at Felix. She tore his head off with her teeth, quickly pulled the bones out of her body, and threw them out the window, causing all of the glass to fall to the ground, shattering loudly. The pure sunlight poured into the room, illuminated all of the vampires, and the room was filled with sparkles.

"He will not be happy. This is the second time…." Aro mused.

"He deserved it." Bella spit at him. She did all of this even through the torture of Jane's abilities. She was incredible.

"Join us Bella. No one wants this to continue." I wasn't the only one who could hear that Aro's words were lies.

"Yeah, except---- for you!" Bella gasped, thinking that she was getting better at speaking through the pain.

Aro was circling Bella like prey. "Bella, Bella, what will we have to do to make you see sense?"

"What sense? There is no sense in this! You will never make me give in to you!"

"Hmmm." Aro mused, and I read his thoughts. He was going to use me to get to Bella. It would work.

"NOOOOO!" NO! Bella, don't do anything they say no matter what!" She was looking at me with horrified eyes. I knew without reading her thoughts that my words would have no impact on her. "Even if they hurt me!" I added, but my words were pointless. She was thinking that she wouldn't let anything happen to me.

"Demetri, come over here." Aro instructed. Demetri came over to us and looked at Aro for approval. When Aro nodded, Demetri swung his arm out and stabbed me in the chest. The pain was nothing. I felt almost happy as flames of feeling whipped through my veins. It was incomprehensively better than watching Bella get tortured.

I looked up suddenly when I felt a dense, electric wave blow through me. It felt like a thick, liquid blanket of pure energy, and couldn't imagine the cause of it. I had never felt anything like it before. That was when I saw my Bella. She was glowing. Not from the sunlight, but she had a bright glow over all of her skin. I couldn't hear her thoughts anymore, and quickly searched my memory for when that had changed. I realized that it had happened as soon as I was stabbed.

Bella's eyes were glazed over, her jaw firmly set. Remarkably, she started rising off the ground. I watched in amazement. I felt a concrete wall of electricity hit me and I flew backwards, hitting the ground about ten feet back. I watched Bella's eyebrows furrow as she looked around for the source that pushed us back, and then saw understanding flood her face as she recognized that she did it herself. Bella smiled slightly and turned towards Aro. I felt another wave of liquid energy hit me and watched as the people on other side of the room soared back and smashed into the wall, leaving it in pieces. I couldn't believe my eyes. Bella was absolutely incredible. Apparently she was shocked too, because her eyes became more focused, and she fell back to the ground without a sound, turning to look at the rest of the family and me. Everyone's thoughts were similar. They couldn't believe their eyes. No one had seen anything like Bella before.

The guard members who had been restraining us approached her tentatively. They were all terrified of Bella, and had no idea what to do about her. Bella stretched her hand out towards them, causing them to jerk back in fear.

"I know you don't want to do that." She said carefully. Her eyes glassed over again, and she slowly lifted off the ground. The guards moved backwards, trying to get out of the way, but then an invisible barrier encased them, and I watched as the walls of her liquid shield pushed them in further and further until there was nothing left of the guards but bits and pieces. I was busy marveling at the sight, but out of the corner of my peripheral vision, I saw the rest of the guard members hurrying over, hoping to take advantage of her turned back.

"Bella, look out!" I shouted to her. She wheeled around and saw the advancing line of guards. I saw the hoard hit a barricade, and they all followed Bella with their petrified eyes as Bella walked forward slowly.

"Do you still want me to join you now Aro?" Bella asked sarcastically.

"I---- Bella, we meant you no----'' Aro started, stuttering.

"Harm?" She finished for him. "Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking the whole time you were running me and Edward through with vampire bones. You really must have not wanted to hurt me."

"Bella, please, give me a chance to speak. I just wanted you to join us. I really wanted it, so I had to resort to certain measures to accomplish that."

"He's lying." Maggie said from a few feet behind me. "He has been the whole time. He may have started off wanting you in his group ten years ago, but he knew that wasn't possible, so if he couldn't have you, no one could."

I watched Aro fidget and squirm, loving every second of it. Eighty-five percent of my mind still couldn't believe what Bella was doing and what she had done. It was astounding.

Aro was still making excuses. It enraged me.

"What? That's ridiculous!" Aro said in response to Maggie.

"No, it's not." I said. "You were just using that as a cover the whole time you brutally tortured Bella."

"But----'' Aro started.

Bella interrupted sharply. "But nothing. You are evil, malicious, vile, selfish, and cruel. You never think about how your actions affect other people. You deserve to die more than anyone in this room, and that's a pretty big feat with Jane, Alec, and Caius standing behind you in comparison. I will let you watch as I kill the rest of these people, and then I will kill you? Deal?"

I saw an invisible hand grab Jane and Alec, who both kicked and screamed, and watched as they were squeezed into non-existence. I didn't look very pleasant at all, and next Bella picked up Renata and Chelsea. Once they were gone, Bella looked up at the rest of the guard members. I had no idea what she was planning.

"Please can I speak to you for a moment? Chelsea, a member of the guard, had the power to make people feel loyal and obligated to be here. Now that she is dead, do you feel that pull?" Bella looked around at the people who were shaking their heads. "Those who wish to leave, may, and those who wish stay and be guard members still, just not under oppressive lunatics like him," she said, pointing at Aro, "May stay. The people that still feel that I am doing something wrong can fight me if they want, but that will only result in death."

The greater amount of vampires ran out the door, but a few stayed, wanted to stay as guards. Bella accepted that and turned to Caius and the wives. She killed them all swiftly. For some reason she didn't kill Marcus. She picked him up in her shield and he flew across the room, landing in the corner. She then turned to Aro, who looked trapped. He was. My Bella was the strongest and most powerful person in existance, and nothing could stop her.

"You have caused so much pain to my family and friends. I really should have prolonged the deaths of a lot of those people, but I didn't. That is because we are not like you. We do not kill people for fun, or hunt whole families down because they have more power than us and make us feel threatened. I should make your death excruciating. I should make you wish for death, but before I decide whether to do that or not, I want you to do something. Tell Marcus what you did." Bella said.

"What?" Aro said, surprised and confused.

"Tell him." I had no idea what Bella was talking about. I wished I could read her mind again. I tried Aro's head. He had no idea either.

"Tell me what, Aro?" Marcus asked emptily from across the room.

Comprehension dawned on Aro's face and he looked at Marcus fearfully. "Nothing." He answered. Whatever he was so nervous about he was hiding from me.

"Tell him now." Bella repeated.

Aro looked back and forth between Bell and Marcus, and then whispered. "I killed Didyme." I was shocked. I had no idea what had happened to Marcus' wife, and couldn't understand how Bella had found out.

"What?" Marcus gasped, horrified.

"Say it again, Aro." Bella said.

"I killed Didyme."

"There. Now you know Marcus. I thought you should hear it from him before I killed him. Now you did so…. Bye Aro. Have a nice time in hell." Aro let out a scream as Bella crushed him in her shield. We all watched as Aro died, never to cause us pain again. Bella stood for a moment looking at the pieces of Aro, and then turned to Marcus. Marcus was in pain thinking about his wife and how his evil brother killed her. I almost felt pity for him. But he didn't do anything while his brothers were making the orders to kill my family, or when Bella was being tortured, so I still was no friend of his.

"Why have you kept me alive?" He asked Bella.

"Because I don't believe that you are completely evil like your brothers. You never did, or said anything to make me think you are malevolent, granted, you never stopped any of your brother's acts of evil, but I still don't think you are all that horrible." Bella turned to me.

"Am I right?"

"Yes." I said. I didn't really agree completely, but she was close enough. I wasn't concentrating that much on what was happening anyway. I could only think about how my mind-boggling wife had saved us all again, and that she was safe. I was on cloud nine. She would be safe. I would never let anything happen to her ever again, and I would be able to kiss and hold her for the rest of my existence. If it weren't for the shield she had around us, I would have run to her and pulled her into my arms forever.

"Will you be the new and improved Volturi? You can gather guards the right way, not forcing them to join. You will do a good job. You know all the rules, and I know you can be good at it." Bella paused, looking at Marcus. "Please?"

Marcus was astonished that Bella would ask that of him, but he figured he didn't really have much else to do on this God forsaken planet, so he might as well do something with his existence.

"Yes, I will continue on here. I will try to find good men to help me protect the law. I however, do not have the power that was here yesterday. Would you mind coming to help if it was ever required?"

"Of course I don't mind. I would be happy to. Thank you so much." Bella said, relieved, and then she started to stagger. I couldn't get through the invisible wall to help her. Every time I tried, I was jolted as if by electricity, and pushed back. Bella started to sag, and I watched as she slumped to the ground, unmoving.

"Bella!" I shouted, and as soon as the words left my mouth, the shield was gone. I ran over to my Bella and gathered her in my arms. She was completely lifeless. I opened the slits of her eyes they stared back at me, unmoving, empty.

"Carlisle!" I said, but he was already there.

"Lay her down Edward, I need to see her." I laid her down on the cold floor and watched as Carlisle bent over her, checking different signs. He couldn't find anything wrong with her.

"Maybe it's the bone wounds." Jasper suggested, leaning close to Carlisle.

"I don't think so. These wounds wouldn't have caused her to react this way." Carlisle was nervous. "I haven't seen a vampire behave this way before."

"We should just try healing her wounds first." Esme said, so we got to work on healing her stab marks.

"Bella, Bella, don't do this. If you can hear me, please, wake up. After all of this, will you make me lose you this way?" I sobbed over her body, scared to death. I couldn't lose her. I couldn't lose her. I just felt so helpless. I looked at Alice, who was sobbing too, and holding Bella's unresponsive hand.

"Alice, do you see her waking up?" I asked anxiously.

"Not yet." She cried miserably.

"She saved us all, she has to wake up." Seth Clearwater howled.

Carlisle worked over her for an hour, trying everything he possibly could think of. Nothing worked. I was regretting the loss of the Volturi, who could have put me out of my misery. I felt dead. I saw her body, cold, unmoving, dead. There were no words to describe the agonizing pain that I felt. I looked up at the remaining guard members who looked on at our pain sorrowfully. I wanted to make them kill me. I was about to go and ask when Alice grabbed my arm.

"Don't, Edward. I don't think she is dead. Her future is hazy, not gone. She will wake up. This might be because she over-used her powers too quickly. She might have gone into shock."

"That's not possible." I said, completely numb. But Alice's words stirred a tiny gleam of hope in my heart.

"We should take her home, Edward." Carlisle said, gently touching my shoulder. I shrugged. I picked up my beloved's body and walked towards the exit in the ground. Alice walked by my side, leading the way out of the Volturi's layer for the last time.

Alice stole a car for Bella, Jasper, herself, and me to ride in. It would look strange to carry a----- I couldn't bring myself to say the word. It would look strange to carry Bella out in public, so Alice picked us up at the exit of the tunnel. The rest of the group would take a bus to the airport. Then we would apparently get a wheelchair for Bella, claim that she is handicapped, and get on the plane. It didn't seem probable that out plan would work, but Alice insisted that it would.

Alice was, of course, right, and we got off the plane at Port Angeles some odd hours later, and drove home. Everyone else ran. When we pulled up to the house, I broke down again. I didn't know if Bella would ever get to see it again, or her daughter. I carried her inside and up to Carlisle's study, where there was already a bet set up.

All I could do was wait. I sat by my existence every second that she was unconscious. The whole time didn't speak. My family members came up to see us very frequently, but stopped trying to talk to me after a while. My heart was dead. My body didn't even feel like mine anymore. Living without Bella was beyond pain. It was beyond anything anyone had ever imagined. I was alone.

"You know, she will wake up. I see it now." Alice stood, leaning against the door frame, breaking me out of my reverie. I looked sharply at her.

"Are you certain?"

"Yes. Look for yourself." She showed me her vision of Bella waking up, and I smiled for the first time in what felt like ages.

My heart began to feel hope, relief, and love. I looked down at my beautiful Bella, and leaned down to kiss her perfect lips. I looked at Alice.

"Thank you. So much." I said, and I stood up to give her a hug.

"No need to thank me Edward, I needed to hear this as much as you did. She is my best friend." I knew she was wrong, but shrugged it off.

"So how long will it be?" I asked excitedly.

"About ten minutes." She said, looking at Bella. "I will kill her for doing this to me."

"Actually, no one will mention 'kill' and 'Bella' in the same sentence ever again." I said, correcting her. Even Alice couldn't joke with me right now. The only thing that I needed was to see Bella's eyes open.

It just wasn't normal for a vampire to black out. No one Carlisle had ever encountered had experienced or heard of anything like this. This was, once again, brand new to all of us. Bella never followed the rules.

"Right. Well I will go get everyone else." Alice danced out of the room, and I returned to my chair by Bella's bed. I stroked her face until everyone got up to the room.

Ten minutes passed very slowly.

Any second now! I heard Alice say eagerly. I leaned over Bella, looking at her eyes.

Twenty-seven and a fourth seconds later, Bella opened her eyes.
