Chapter 9-Reunite

Edward's POV

My eyes fluttered open with a groan. I stared down at my body, it was bleeding. What was happening? Why did I hurt so much? Where was…where was I? I was in a forest, in a clearing, but where?

I tried to stand but the pain was overwhelming. From the corner of my eye fire was blazing. From a distance a soft, female voice could be heard.

"Alice!" she yelled.

My head shot up in the direction of the voice. The woman was beautiful. She had long, wavy brown hair and the most beautiful golden eyes with a hint of brown. Her perfect face was filled with terror as a brown haired male had arms wrapped round her, aggressively. She screamed as he squeezed her closer. She shot me a pained glance as I, unthinkably, rose to my feet. A red haired girl also with golden eyes glanced at me then looked back to the woman.

Then I remembered.

"Bella," I sighed then felt something wet trickle down my cheek and realised I was crying. Humans.

But then I realised I wasn't human. I felt thirsty. The same thirst that had filled me for over 90 years. I was a vampire but different. Oh god, I was Damon Salvatore. Bella screamed again and the one with the blonde hair that I identified as Emmett pounced on Robert but was knocked off. Everyone else piled on him as Emmett hit the ground but from the centre of the crowd I could see Robert lift his hands up to Bella's head and I started to run as the others struggled.

I pushed through the crowed with shocked glances from Carlisle and Rosalie. Until I finally reached Bella I punched Robert in the face and he staggered back letting go of Bella. I grabbed her hand pulling her closer to me taking in the scent I missed for the past two weeks. I nodded to Carlisle and with a final glance he headed and the rest headed off towards Robert.

I pulled Bella gently away from the violence as she hid into my chest. She wrapped her arms round me. I returned the favour.

"Damon, thank god you're safe," she whispered as she rested her forehead against mine.

"Guess again, love," I whispered in her ear. I chuckled as she pushed me away confused.

She gasped as she realised my golden eyes. She stepped closer to me and held my gaze.

"Prove it," she whispered.

I sighed then smiled. "My name is Edward Cullen I was born in 1901. I'm a vampire. Two weeks ago I died. Something strange happens to vampires when we die. We have a certain second life that allows to keep in contact with others of our kind. I met Sasha again and she found love in this place. His name is Rufus and he died fighting against the Volturi.

"I have watched over you. You made me realise what it was like when I left you and I'm sorry for leaving you. And I'm sorry for lea-" she cut me off by pressing her lips to mine. Her lips were soft and just the way I left them. She smiled between kisses.

"Don't you apologize for being killed," she said between kisses.

I smiled as she pulled away. The fire crackled but she refused to turn round. Instead she gazed at me lovingly and smiled then laughed.

"What?" I smiled.

She gazed up at me again. "I haven't smiled or laughed in a while. Well not unless I'm around…"

"Damon," I sighed.

Her eyes were filled with sadness and guilt.

"Hey," I cupped her face in my hands. "I'm not mad. I've never been more proud. You moved on. Something I could never do."

"So what you mean to say is that you think I don't love you as much as you love me," she once again looked guilty.

"No," I whispered. "It means you're stronger and I know you still love me, inside and out," I kissed her forehead, my now black hair brushing her cheek. I sighed and she laughed then looked at me lovingly again. She ran a hand through my hair.

"Have you seen Renesmee," she asked with her eyes closed.

It didn't take a mirror to see that my eyes were filled with sadness. I remembered seeing Renesmee being tortured. It had hurt me and her.

She stepped back with a gasp. "Oh my god!"

"No, no, no, shh," I pulled her back into me and cupped her face reassuringly. "She's great, she's beautiful, she's you." She smiled. "It's just," I sighed, hesitantly. "Robert got to her, and he uh," but she knew what I was going to say and was already heading in my family's direction when her pulled her back, too hard and she crashed into my chest and wrapped her arms round me.

"I should be with her," she sighed, sadly.

"Don't worry when all this is over the family will be back to normal," I pulled her closer.

"Without you," she looked up at me.

I lifted her chin up to meet my gaze. "I'll always be here, I promise," I kissed her again as tears streamed down both of our cheeks, all from me.

"I never thought I'd see the day that Edward Cullen cried," she laughed. She jumped as a hand was placed on her shoulder. Esme stood behind her and pulled her into her embrace.

"Bella," she sighed. "My beautiful daughter."

"Hey, mom," she smiled and she hugged her again saying motherly words of comfort.

Carlisle gave me a serious look and I nodded. Bella didn't notice this as she chattered with Alice and Rosalie. Before all of it Jacob staggered over to me and gave me a confused look.

"Jacob," I smiled. He returned a smile.

Couldn't have been more careful he gave Bella a sad look. It's killing her.

I nodded. "I know."

I grabbed Bella's hand pulled her towards me. "I can't stay," I whispered.

She was silent for a moment then looked up at me. "I know."

I caressed her face and she closed her eyes, relaxing at my touch.

"I love you," I said.

"I love you," she replied and then I kissed her before fading away.

Bella's POV

And then he was gone but I still held onto him expecting to see his golden eyes when he reopened them. But my hopes meant nothing to physics. But did anything that just happened really did? My thoughts were disturbed by a gasp and I stared down at Damon. His black eyes had returned.

"I saw…" he paused gulping. "Everything. I know everything about Edward Cullen."

I pulled him close to me and embraced him. He was hesitant until he shakily wrapped his arms round me.

"Where' Robert?" he panted.

"He's dead," I smiled at him and he weakly smiled then raised a hand and tucked a strand of loose hair behind my hair. I sighed. "What?" he laughed.

"Renesmee," I whispered.

Renesmee's POV

I sat alone in my apartment watching a Sex and the City marathon. I laughed at certain parts but none of it took away the pain I was feeling. I rolled up the leg on my jeans to see the scar that remained on my leg. My fingers traced it feeling the slight chill of it travel through my body and down my back in a shiver. My cell phone vibrated in my pocket and I quickly answered it.

"Hello?" I answered not looking at the caller I.D.

"Hey there beautiful," a male's voice answered.

I sighed in annoyance. "What do you want, Damon?" I hissed.

"Oh nothing really just informing you that I may be popping in for a little visit soon," Damon said sweetly.

I laughed. "There's no way in hell that's happening."

"Didn't your mother ever teach you a thing called manners?" he chuckled.

"My mother, and grandmother for that matter, taught me to stand up for myself and not take anyone else's shit," I replied. "She also told me to despise the people she despises."

"Hmm I'll just ask her and double check," In the background you could hear Damon speaking to another person. I was shocked to hear my mother answer. My jaw dropped when I heard a kissing noise also.

"Damon, what the hell have you done to my mother?" I said through clenched teeth.

"Oh nothing it just kinda…happened," he laughed. "See you soon, sweetheart."

Then he hung up.

I was shaking. Anger boiled in the pit of my stomach and came out my mouth in a snarl. I knew what I was going to do the next time I saw Damon Salvatore. I would kill him.
