Hi everyone! Oh my gosh, I feel so bad for keeping you guys waiting like this for months! I know it once again finished on a cliffie, but I promise that I already have the chapter written and it will be up within a week or so. Thank you all for your loyalty, though you're probably all pretty fed up with me at the moment! So I hope you all enjoy this and thank you once again for your continued support!

The plane ride was excruciatingly long, with nothing to do, meaning my thoughts were free to wonder wherever they pleased. I hadn't meant to push Edward away, I truly hadn't, but I had lost a child and I wanted him to feel our pain. As my heart beat louder and louder, I was aware of how human I was. Alice sat next to me, as still as marble and concentrated on the seat in front of her.

"Alice?" I said quietly and then sighed when she ignored me. I felt like a kid who had done something wrong, like I was in the naughty corner.

As the plane bumped along, my thoughts went to my lost child. For some reason, I had pictured my baby as a boy, with bouncing red curls and dark amber eyes. When he grew up, he would be the spitting image of his father, with no trace of me in him. But I didn't mind; I was plain and uninteresting, but his father was an angel sent from heaven.

She, you fool. I thought to myself, shaking my head angrily. My baby was a girl, a small fragile girl. What would her hair have looked like if she had lived? Would it be a bright auburn, so fierce and bright that fire would be envious? Or maybe her hair would have been brown, but not the plain brown like mine. It would have been dark, chocolaty with streaks of auburn through it when it hit the sun.

I sighed; there was no point in imagining my dead child as it would only bring more pain. Instead thought of Edward and what I would say when we reached the Denali coven. Maybe there would be a fight, where Tanya refused to give my husband back. It would help if I was a vampire, but Edward had refused to change me, his reason being that he didn't want me to be a monster like him.

"Dear passengers, this is your Captain speaking." The voice crackled over the intercom and Alice whipped her head towards it, breaking out of her stupor. "We will be landing shortly so please return to your seats, put your trays up and fasten your seatbelt. We know you have a choice of airlines and we would like to thank you for choosing us today."

Everyone returned to their seats as the altitude started to lower. My seatbelt had been fastened the whole way even though I knew nothing bad would happen to us; Alice made sure of that.

"What do we do when we get there, Alice?" I asked her.

"We do not provoke them at all. We ask for Edward back and if it comes to a fight, then so be it."

I shook my head. "But you're only one person, how would you defeat them all?"

Alice chuckled. "I'm not a person, remember? You underestimate me, Bella."

Sighing, I decided to drop it. Alice was smart, she knew what we were doing and it was best just to go along with whatever she was doing.

Within 20 minutes, we were off the plane and in a rental car with our luggage piled in the back of it. The car was fancy and fast, a Lamborghini I think it was called. Trust Alice to rent only the fastest and most expensive car in Alaska.

We sped down a highway, snow and trees were everywhere; this place was more beautiful than Forks but also just as depressing. It was like it had a black cloud hanging over it. I shivered in my seat despite the warm heat coming from the vents in the car. My heart was beating faster and faster and it all but stopped when Alice turned off the highway and started down a long drive.

It took at least 10 minutes of winding and turning through a long lane before we reached a beautiful, white house. It was so white that it almost blended in with the snowy background and it was the complete opposite from the Cullen's house back in Forks. This house had hardly any windows, save for a few small ones here and there. It felt like they were hiding something, unlike the Cullen's who had an open home that felt so welcoming and warm.

Alice stopped the car and jumped out, while I slowly and clumsily followed her lead. I looked around the beautiful property and was just about to compliment it to Alice when out of nowhere, four figures stood in front of us. I jumped and almost slipped before Alice caught me and steadied me on my feet. How graceful.

A beautiful man with black hair and golden eyes, Eleazar, the leader of the coven, stepped forward. "Hello dear Alice." Alice nodded an acknowledgement. "What can we do for you on this fine day?" His accent echoed throughout the surrounding mountains.

"Eleazar, we came here for Edward. You remember Bella?" Alice replied, gesturing to me while I nodded to them all. Of course they did; they came to mine and Edward's wedding. "Where is Tanya?"

Eleazar smiled warmly at me. "She is in the house with Edward. Shall we all go inside the house out of the dreadful cold?"

I exchanged a look with Alice before following the beautiful vampires into the house. I noticed that Irina was here and she looked as though she had never lost her mate, Laurent. Of course, she held no grudge against me; it was Jake and the others that she hated.

The house looked more inviting on the inside, with great artworks taking up the huge walls and I recognised replicas of classics such as the Mona Lisa, The Lady and the Unicorn and The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne. Even though they weren't genuine, I could only assume that they were still incredibly expensive.

There was a huge roaring fire on the far side of the living room, though there was no need for vampires to have it, I assumed it was there for decoration and it certainly did give the depressing house some warmth.

Eleazar gestured to couches in the centre of the room. "Please, sit. Bella, would you care for some refreshments? Hot cocoa perhaps?" I nodded and said thanks while I took my seat next to Alice. Within 5 seconds, I had a cup of hot cocoa and a blanket around my shoulders.

"Thank you very much." I said to the beautiful woman with dark hair, Carmen, who was Eleazar's mate. She smiled at me and sat on the couch opposite me, Irina and Kate sitting next to her. "Where's Edward?" I asked.

The coven exchanged glances before settling their eyes on their leader. "He will be here shortly, we promise you sweet one. And can I just say, we are very sorry for your loss."

"How did you know about that?" I asked.

Eleazar smiled a sad smile. "Edward told us all about it. It is a grievous thing to lose a child, especially one you had never met."

What would he know about it? He was a vampire with a vampire mate; they couldn't have children. "It hurts more than you could ever know." I answered and he just nodded.

Alice stiffened beside me and I whipped my head in the direction of the footsteps that were coming around the corner. I held my breath and released it when I saw my husband standing next to Tanya. Without thinking, I jumped up and threw myself into his arms. "I'm so sorry about what I said. I love you, I love you and I never want to be away from you." I murmured into his marble-like chest.

Edward wrapped his arms around me and gave me a gentle squeeze. "It's ok, Bella, I forgive you." He unwrapped my arms from around his chest and looked at Tanya. "But maybe we should spend some time away from each other." I looked into his eyes, hurt written over my face. "Just so you can have some time to think and dead with everything that has happened."

I shook my head, trying to comprehend what he was saying. "Don't you love me anymore?"

Edward stepped forward but I back away from him, going to stand next to Alice. "It will only be for a little while; a couple of months perhaps."

Alice gave a small hiss. "How could you, Edward? Can't you see how upset she is?"

Tears were flowing down my cheeks while everyone looked at me with pity. The room started spinning before my eyes settled on Tanya. The fury bubbled up inside me; the pain from losing my baby and now my husband. My muscles clenched, my lips drew back over my lips and I exposed my teeth. I felt like a vampire; a warrior here to protect my love.

"This is all your fault." I roared and ran for Tanya, hands outstretched, completely forgetting that she was a vampire, an immortal and strong being. I touched her beautiful face before her hands whipped out and I heard a loud crack. I collapsed to the floor, completely paralysed with a strong burning sensation in my neck. Alice screamed my name before blackness once again surrounded me.

Sorry for the cliff-hanger! The next chapter will be up in a week or so Thanks guys!
