Edward doesn't leave in new moon. Bella carries on with life as normal, but what happens when a certain vampire comes to see Carlisle. To her surprise, they have a special bond. What will Edward do about it?
Vladimir
What had just happened? He kissed me. Vladimir had kissed me, and I had let him.
I was in a dark room in the middle of nowhere. I was his prisoner. I hoped Marcus would find me soon.
The door opened and I froze when I saw Vladimir walking towards me. He smiled a dark grin and knelt down to me. He leant in to kiss me again but I turned my face, causing him to skim my cheek.
He smirked and whispered, 'Wrong move.' He picked me up and threw me across the floor.
My head hit against the wall, cutting it. I felt the back of my head, watching the blood trickle off of my hand. He stood over me, then picked me up and bit my neck. Once he had let me go, an excruciating pain rose in my body. A burning feeling that I had felt before. I screamed. He looked me in the eyes; I watched as his anger slid off his face, being replaced with shock at what he had just done. He picked my collapsing body, bridal style and carried me out of the room.
He sat us on a bed and laid me across his body, stroking my hair. The pain spread throughout my body, causing me to scream as it pulsed along with my heart. I winced and bit my lip to keep myself from screaming over and over.
Vladimir continued to stroke my hair and whisper soothing words into my ear. I hated how close he was to me, I hated the way he touched me, I hated that he was changing me when I wanted Marcus to do it that very night, I hated him
'Get away from me...don't touch me...ahhhh...don't touch me!'
'Bella, I love you.'
'No! No...You can't! I can't...I won't!'
'Ssh...Calm down. Why can't you? Why won't you?'
'Because...,' I screamed in agony, 'I love Marcus, I love him. He is my soul mate. I'm not yours, I never...,' I screamed again, 'I never will be.' I grinded my teeth together, to stop myself from screaming.
'Bella, Marcus is dead. Stefan killed him.'
I stopped moving, forgetting about my pain. My world stopped. There was an aching pain in my chest and it wasn't from the venom. Sobs started to form in my throat but I pushed them down and turned away from Vladimir. I bit my lip to control my pain and to stop myself from crying.
'Bella, I...'
'No, Keep away from me.' I moved away from him, while silent tears ran down my face.
'I'm sorry Bella, I know it's going to be hard, I've been through this. I lost my soul mate years...but Bella, if you just give me a chance, give us a chance, then you may learn to love me. You may not ever love me as much as you loved him, but I promise that I will love you just as much as he did.'
I clenched my teeth together to stop another scream escaping my lips. Once the pain had momentarily subsided, I turned to him.
'I would rather die than be with you.'
The next thing I knew, Vladimir had disappeared and glass covered the floor. I was alone, completely alone. I had no one in the world. The Cullen's all had their soul mates; I couldn't go back to Forks, because everyone thought I was dead. My last choice was...Volterra, but I knew that they would probably kill me for having anything to do with Marcus. Even with Marcus dead, I couldn't die yet. I had to sort out everything else first. I had to go to Volterra; there was no way that if I was to stay in this world then I wouldn't be ruled by these two masochistic beasts. I had no other choice.

Time passed slowly, very slowly. The pain just kept getting worse and my screams, they became more piercing.
'Bella?'
I turned my focus to the door, then turned back to the ceiling again when I noticed Stefan was standing at the doorway.
'Your transformation should be nearly over.'
He sat in the corner, on the floor, sharpening a knife.
'Do you know how ridiculous you look?' I asked in all seriousness.
'Enlighten me Bella?' He smirked. It was a very dark smirk, it almost scared me.
'You look like every other cliché bad guy. What do you need a knife for anyway?'
He stood and started to walk closer to me, slowly. 'Knives aren't just for cutting rope, or bodies. I use them for clothes as well.' A dark sparkle glimmered in his eyes before he winked at me and revealed another dark smile. I gulped, my eyes going wide. 'Don't worry; I'm not going to rape you...yet.' He smirked at my petrified face. 'Your heart is slowing down. It'll be over in just a minute.' I hadn't noticed that my pain had subsided.
My heart started to race, but then suddenly it stopped.
'Vlad!' Stefan called. 'It has stopped!'
Vladimir walked in, his eyes black and his hair a mess. For once, he looked almost human. I stood from the bed, as he watched my every movement.
'Stefan, leave.' Vladimir's voice was harsh, angry. Stefan did a mocking bow behind Vladimir's back. He turned around and growled at Stefan, who in return smirked and left the room.
'Vladimir?' I reached out to him. He grabbed my neck and forced me against the wall. Even with my new born strength, I had no desire to fight him off.
'You will not speak unless you are spoken to. You may speak but make it quick.'
'I'm sorry Vladimir.' I had to keep on his good side. I needed to stay here for a while and I needed his trust so he would let me leave. 'I need you Vladimir, I want you, please, I...' I had to force myself to say it, 'I love you.'
He let go of my neck. 'I don't believe you.'
He started to walk away but I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards me. As soon as he was facing me, I kissed him.
Once he had recovered from shock, he started to kiss me back. He pulled away after a few minutes and smiled.
'Bella, what I said to you before, I meant it. I'm so relieved that you accepted my offer.'
