.A/NI am so thrilled because of two things. First toay is my sister's birthday, I am so happy she's getting closer to being in a sane age everyday lol. And secondly cuz I finally found the perfect Epilogue for this story yay. Well most of you jumped to the conclusion that I thought you would jump to. Jacob. Sorry lol, it has absolutely nothing to do with Jacob or his pack. I'll leave you with this cliffy for a while. You will know why in the last chapter lol. I like playing the evil part lol. Anyway, on with the story (I babble a lot)…. Oh and again, Thank you Amna. You dunno how much it meant to me.
Recap:
I'm not dead. Of course I wasn't. Then what was going on? Why did I disappear?...
Chapter 9: Loss
"Ok, ok. Calm down guys. Listen up" I shouted. Alice and Edward were having what they were calling a 'discussion' but it was actually a fight. Edward was insanely worried which made him a bit snappy. Alice was the same. So I shouted to make them both stop. They both turned to look at me.
"What?" They both shouted. Alice looked annoyed. I looked away. It was the first time for Edward to shout at me. And I was already panicking I didn't need their panic too.
"Oh Bella I'm sorry" Edward said appalled, "I didn't mean to shout like that" He turned my head to face his, "You must be more worried than us." He said softly.
"It's ok. I just want to know something" I mumbled quietly.
"What, love?"
"When are you going to change me?" They both stiffened.
"Bella, how can we change you when we don't know what's going to happen next?" Alice said fearfully.
"Well I guess you have to try and do it like a human. We do stuff everyday without knowing their consequences." I shrugged. They both looked at each then back at me. Alice looked ok with it but Edward looked troubled.
"I dunno Bella" he hesitated, "what if you don't survive it?" he stared at me in fear.
"Did this happen to anyone before?" I asked calmly.
"No but…"
"But nothing. We'll do it and see. I trust you and I know that you won't let me die" I said softly. He stared into my eyes for a while and then gulped. I sighed, "there's always Alice if you're afraid to do it" A smile spread on Alice's face and she nodded. He looked at Alice and then back at me.
"What do you want, love?" He whispered softly. I put a hand on his cheek.
"I want you to be the one to do it" I whispered with a smile. A small involuntary smile formed itself on his lips.
"Then I will"
"Yaaaaaaaaaay" Alice squealed loudly. Edward and I jumped. It was so quiet and Edward and I were whispering so having Alice squeal suddenly…..Urgh!
"Way to ruin the mood Alice" Edward complained. I chuckled.
"Thank you" She teased, "Ok now what are we going to tell Charlie?"
"Certainly not the truth" I said thoughtfully, "it would give him a heart attack" Edward chuckled.
"Not to mention that he would kill me" Edward laughed, "or try to" I chuckled.
"Ok, leave him to me" Alice said standing up, "Bella I'll go pack your things and when I call you" She said pointing at Edward, "you'll bring Bella and come" We both gaped at her, "don't worry, when I'm done talking with him, he won't have a problem with Edward or me" Edward nodded.
"Thanks Al" Edward told her.
"Don't thank me, I didn't do it for you anyway. I only care about her" Alice said in the 'annoying little sister' tone. Edward rolled his eyes.
"wait Alice" I stopped her.
"Yeah?" I stood up and hugged her. She laughed and hugged me back, "sorry you just dunno how much I've missed you" I mumbled against her shoulder.
"Believe me I know" She whispered then pulled away. In a second Alice disappeared. I sighed. I felt Edward's arms wrap around me.
"You missed her that much?" he whispered in my ear. I leaned my head back on his shoulder.
"You can't imagine. I missed her almost as much as I missed you. Almost"
"I'm sorry" He said his voice turning to pain.
"Don't start that again" I said pulling away and turning to look him in the eye, "I know why you did it. What happened, happened. You can't do anything about it" I said trying to sound firm but his face looked so heartbreaking that my voice came out as a soft murmur.
"If only I could turn back time, I would've stopped myself from doing this horrible mistake" He sighed.
"But you can't do that. So please just let it go" I pleaded.
"Ok" He nodded. But I could see that he will never let it go.
EPOV
How could I ever let this go? Some mistakes just stick with you forever. This is one of them. Maybe after a few centuries I'll be able to forgive myself even though I really doubt it. My cell rang. I got it out of my pocket. It was Alice. She couldn't have possibly talked to Charlie that quick.
"Alice?"
"Edward! Take Bella and run" She ordered quickly.
"Why? What happened?" I said too quick for Bella. I picked her up with one hand.
"What's wrong?" Bella asked. I gave her a smile, I didn't want her to panic. She smiled back.
"They were here Edward" Alice sobbed, "They killed the shrink….and Charlie" her voice broke. My eyes grew wide.
"Charlie?" I whispered.
"Edward they caught her scent and they are looking for her now. You have to change her immediately. Don't tell her about Charlie yet"
"Ok, Alice. Look for my future and see if it's safe to change her in Seattle" Alice was silent for a moment as she searched for my future. When she broke the silence it was with a scream.
"Your future disappeared too. Urgh! What's wrong with me?" She screamed furiously. It was all happening so fast that it was confusing.
"Edward, why do you look so pale? I mean paler?" She whispered putting a hand on my face.
"Nothing love. I'm just worried about changing you" I lied calmly. She smiled a small smile.
"Don't worry Edward. We'll be together, isn't that what you want?" She whispered. I hugged her tighter, feeling pain for the pain that she'll get later on.
"Of course that's what I want"
"Then relax" I nodded and pushed what I thought was close to a smile on my face.
"Just go there Edward, I will be close enough to warn you if they were near"
"ok" I hung up and shoved the phone in my pocket. I picked up her legs and ran faster.
"Bella I will change you now" I told her as calmly as I could.
"What about Charlie?"
"Alice said that he didn't want to say goodbye. Because he hates goodbye" I struggled to say this in a calm way, but I think it sounded calm.
"Ok" she whispered disappointed and hung her head. I ran faster than before pushing my legs to their limits. I reached my destination fast. I knew there was a haunted house in Seattle that no one dared to come near to. So I took her their. It was getting dark and the house had no lights. I didn't look at it. I just ran up the broken stairs and looked for a bedroom. I found one. I laid Bella on the bed.
"Ok, are you ready?" I whispered.
"Give me your hand" she whispered nervously. I gave it to her, she held it tight in both if hers.
"Ok, now I am" She whispered. "I love you"
"I love you too" Then I slowly closed on her neck. Her fragrance was so concentrated there. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to do it but I had to. They killed her father, it would be so easy for them to kill her too. I opened my mouth and then I sunk my teeth in her neck. Bella screamed in pain. The scream pirced my heart. But I was dealing with something harder. I wasn't just pushing my venom into her system. I could feel her blood flowing under my teeth. Touching it. It smelt so good. So delicious. The monster in me fought to suck it but I held it back.
I won't be the one who will end her life! I shouted in my head. The back of my throat burnt with thirst but I ignored it. It took all my strength to pull away but I did. Bella's screaming continued till she pressed her lips together and decided that she won't scream. Her eyes watered with tears from the pain. I took her in my arms and started telling her some soothing words.
They are here Edward, did you bite her? I heard Alice's thoughts. Sh was near. Near enough to hear my voice.
"Yes Alice, I did it" I shouted.
I'll try to deal with them if I can't I'll tell you to run Alice thought to me. I hugged Bella tight. I bent to whisper in her ear.
"It will all be ok honey. It will all be ok"
A/N: Ok, before you hate me, I swear there is a reason to why I killed Charlie. Please trust me and wait till the end. I promise it won't be a tragedy. So what did you think of this? Please tell me. Misty? Do you think it was ok? (I hope so). Cya next chappy guys.
