Thank you to everyone who reviewed, I love you all! Here's the next chapter, I hope you like it!

vanillaswirl- Haha it took me a minute to figure out what you meant, but now I get it. I guess I'm still used to human Bella. Thanks for pointing that out, though!

Alright, I lied. NOW here's the next chapter!

AudreyPOV:

Life was such a pleasure right now; nothing could bring me down.

Not only was I married to the most handsome, amazing man in the world, but my sixteen-year-old daughter had found someone that would make her happy. I knew the Quileute boys, and I couldn't think of one that wouldn't be perfect for her.

I loved my family, too. The Cullens were such kind, compassionate people. Well, most of them were. The model-like blonde, Rosalie, didn't seem too fond of me. I think she was too busy admiring herself and spending time with her husband to actually get to know me. The rest were all very hospitable.

I looked out the large window at the beautiful landscape on which the Cullens lived. Since I had nothing else to do, I ambled out the back door and went for a walk. I admired the vast arrangement of wild flowers and skyscraper-like trees. I had always loved nature. I used to spend the majority of my time outside, which was how Edward found me. I loved to breathe in the fresh air, listen to the songs of the birds, and just lose myself in the beauty of nature.

I continued walking, finding a small stream deep in the forest. I heard a growl and froze. I looked around, and saw an extremely beautiful, statuesque girl looking directly at me. I was reminded of Rosalie, although they looked nothing alike.

The girl was glaring at me, and was crouched in a defensive stance. Her large eyes were red, and her skin was snow white. Her shiny, dark hair flowed to the middle of her back. As I recognized these characteristics, a wave of terror crashed over me like a tsunami. My first instinct was to run, but I knew it would be useless, for her vampire speed could overtake me instantly.

Instead, I screamed, hoping one of my family members would hear me. Just as I let out the scream, the girl leaped in the air, more graceful than any ballerina. She landed on me and pinned me down with her super strength. I screamed more, but was cut off when I felt something pierce the skin on my neck. My world was slipping away as my eyes began to close. The beautiful earth around me faded to darkness as one final thought flickered in my mind.

Edward and Anna, I love you more than my own life.

BPOV:

I thought animal blood was tasty, but boy, human blood was exquisite. My thirst was fully satisfied as I drank the sweet blood of the woman. The pain in my throat was relieved instantly, and I had never felt such a great amount of pleasure. However, I felt really guilty since I had taken an innocent human's life. But I knew the rest of the Cullens had slipped up at some point, and I promised myself that this would be the last time I ever drank human blood.

I heard a snarl come from behind me. I looked up and turned around. I gasped when I saw him. He was even more stunning now that I had my improved vision. I knew he was perfect before, but wow, he was even more beautiful.

In other words, he dazzled me.

My eyes grazed his perfect features; I wanted to touch his flawless face. My dreams of him never did him justice.

His golden eyes appraised me and he stopped growling. I stood up and walked up to him, expecting him to take me in his arms and never let go. Instead, he jumped back, crouching forward, with his lips curled back over his teeth.

"Edward. . . it's me," I said softly. He still didn't recognize me; I couldn't believe it. I tried again, "It's Bella."

EPOV:

I heard the deafening scream. I ran instinctively towards it; hoping I could save whoever needed to be rescued.

Once I got close enough, I could smell my wife's intoxicating, appetizing blood. I followed her scent, only to find her cold, dead, and being pinned to the ground by a pale, dark-haired beauty.

I could tell by the new, non-human smell that she was a vampire.

I could also tell that this girl had just killed Audrey, which filled me with fury.

A growl rippled from my chest, and I automatically hunched forward, prepared to attack. That's when the girl turned.

She took my breath away. She was the most lovely girl I had ever seen. Her long, mahogany hair blew gently in the breeze, and she looked up at me from underneath her elongated, thick black lashes. She reminded me so much of my one and only love, Bella. If I hadn't known that she was still human, then I would have believed it was her.

I was so mesmerized by her beauty that I stopped growling and just stared. She stood up and danced over to me. Only then had I remembered that this goddess-like girl had just killed Audrey, so there was no telling what she was going to do. I jumped back, still leaning forward, prepared to defend myself.

"Edward," she said softly, sounding like music. How could this stranger know my name? Was she blessed with an extra gift like I was? "It's me," she continued hesitantly. I ran through all my memories, and I couldn't think of any that involved this girl. How was I expected to know her? She closed her eyes for a second and breathed, "It's Bella."

And that's when my world crashed down on me.

BPOV:

He straightened up and froze. He slowly walked closer and eyed me closer. "No..." he murmured.

"Yes, Edward. It really is me. Carlisle changed me three days ago. It was the only way I could be with you."

He sucked in a sharp breath and came closer to me, his hands balled into fists. He looked furious, and I felt like I had been slapped in the face. I knew it was all a lie. I always knew I wasn't good enough for him.

"You asked them to change you?! They didn't ask me first?!"

"Edward, it's not your decision, it's mine. I made up my mind that I want to be with you forever, and I know that I'm willing to do anything for you. I'm willing to wait for you. Once your wife is gone, we can be together," I vowed.

Edward was now pinching the bridge of his nose with his eyes shut. This was even worse than when he found out about Jacob and his daughter. Edward finally opened his now-black eyes, and he looked deadly. I was frightened, despite my indestructibility.

"First of all, you just drank my wife's blood, so you don't have to wait for very long," he said stiffly. For some reason, this statement elated me, despite the complete shock that I had actually murdered his wife. "Second of all, I can't believe that you would waste your life like that. And for me, a monster! Can't you see that I'm not worth it? I don't deserve you. I deserve a place in Hell," he growled.

That's where I stopped him. "Edward, that is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. You aren't a monster; you're a gift. I swear that you really were sent from Heaven. And it is I who isn't worth it. It is me who doesn't deserve someone as amazing as you. You don't deserve a place in Hell, and you never will for the rest of eternity. Edward, if I wasn't changed, my life would have been Hell. Do you know why?" I professed to him. He softened and shook his head sadly, as if to disagree reluctantly.

"No, I honestly don't."

"My life would have a huge hole that would be impossible to fill. I need you to be with me. For as long as I would have lived, nothing would be able to satisfy me completely. I would have died an unhappy woman," I said.

"I'm sure you could have found a human to fall in love with. Then you could have had a normal life, and things would have gone the way they were supposed to," he argued.

"No, Edward. I wouldn't have found someone else. No one could ever replace you or Jacob." Edward cringed when I mentioned Jacob. "This is how it was supposed to be for me. Why can't you just accept it? There's no going back now; I can't magically change back into a human. Do you not want me anymore? I mean, I always knew I was never good enough for you, so I would completely understand..." I explained, letting my insecurities get the best of me.

Edward put his finger to my lips and shook his head. His stunning eyes blazed into mine, and I lost my train of thought. The way he looked at me was so familiar and it felt so right. It reminded me of Jacob and Anna. It also reminded me of the way things used to be for me and Edward. Key words: used to be. "Bella, don't ever, ever believe that I don't love you, or that you're not good enough for me. I love you more than anything in this world. When I promised you that I would always be yours, I truly meant it," he said softly, yet passionately.

I wanted to reach up and lock my arms around his neck and close the distance between us, and touch my lips to his. But it was too soon; we needed time to heal completely, and thankfully, we had eternity to work on it.

Don't worry, this isn't the end! We can't forget about Jacob, now can we? He'll be showing up in the next chapter.
