Breaking Benjamin- Without You

Carlisle's POV:

My family needed to have a meeting as soon as possible. Quietly, knowing that everyone would hear me due to the fact that our rooms were right next to each other, I asked for them to all gather in our living room. Rosalie and Emmett burst through the door first with very confused looks. Next was Alice and Jasper then eventually Edward. He looked very depressed and I knew that we had to make this right, somehow, someway. Everyone sat down on that couches and awaited me to start.

I cleared my throat and began. " As you all have clearly noticed, Bella is here. We need to get as much information as possible about how she got here. Now, from what I observed is that she doesn't remember any of us, including Edward. This isn't the first time we have seen this happen either. Very rarely when a person goes through the transformation, the pain of the venom is so extreme to the point that it clears the humans past memories. All they can remember is the pain. Alice, this is in your department. Sometimes though, you can gain the memories back over time. Its sort of like Amnesia for humans. If any of you have ideas on how to proceed, I would like to hear them."

Alice was the first to speak up. "What if we spend more time with her. Get to know the new Bella and maybe her memory will come back. And eventually, when it comes time to leave, we can make up an excuse to stay and be with Bella until she remembers."

Emmett stood up, "I want to know why the hell my Bella is like this! Who the hell did this to her? When I find out, I will break them in half. Does this mean I cant hug her anymore?" he said with a pleading face. I shook my head no and he sat down with a pout and a humph.

"I don't know what we have to do but we need to something. I'm not leaving here without her. Being without her for over 100 years and now I know shes alive, there's no way I can survive." Edward said between sobs with his head in his hands. He finally lifted his head out of his hands and what I saw made me cringe. He had the face of a burning man. Never in my life have I ever seen someone in so much pain. That's when I knew we were to do whatever it takes to make sure she's back safe with us.

"Okay Edward, don't worry. We will get her back. Alice, whats the plan..." I said with determination blatant on my face.

Bella's POV:

We were all sitting in our respective chairs around the table with Marcus, Caius and Aro at the head. Aro clapped his hands twice and began. "We have gathered you all here to just inform you of a possible threat within the castle. The Cullens are an extremely large coven and are to be watched at all times. We don't any problems for the celebration. Oh, and we are extremely proud of you three girls. We love you very much. The other covens and nomads should be arriving soon. I want everyone to be on guard. That is all. You are dismissed." Aro said and we all retreated to the door.

As I was walking out of the door, the little pixie like Cullen with the dark spiky hair grabbed me by the arm and pulled me through one of the corridors. She led me down the hallways until we reached what I assumed to be her room. She burst through the door and pulled me onto her plush couch. " Bella, I'm Alice and I can see we are going to be best friends!" Alice screeched while bouncing up and down so fast that I wouldn't have been able to see her I wasn't a vampire.

"Oh yeah, Aro told me about you. You can see the future right? That must be pretty awesome I guess but it probably ruins every surprise." I said, a little freaked out at her spontaneous act of kidnapping me.

"Well Bella, I am very sorry for kidnapping you but it was the only I was going to be able to talk to you without your posse guarding you. Jeez, they are all over you like Edward.... I mean.... like a fly." she said, stuttering at an outburst she obviously didn't mean to say. I gave her a curious glance but pushed it aside.

"Whats your life been like? How did you get here? Tell me about your past! Do you like to shop?" she screamed at me, causing me to cover my ears and shiver.

"Alice, calm down! Ill tell you just please calm down." I said, holding her still by her shoulders. "I actually don't remember any of my past. All I can remember is the pain of the transformation. I do like shopping but not as much as Heidi, Pacen or Jane and obviously not as much as you either." I said, chuckling at her happy expression.

Finally calm from all her excitement, she continued. "Really, the same exact thing happened to me. I cant remember my human years either."

That's when I got that familiar tingling sensation in my eyes. I was being pulled into a flashback. I was in a dark room surrounded by mirrors. Pain was searing my leg but nothing compared to the now familiar burn that was coming from my wrist. I was bitten. A familiar scent was coming from the fire in front of me. It was the smell of a burning vampire. Faintly, I could see people surrounding the blazing fire and there was a hint of bronze in my immediate vision. Topaz eyes filled with self-hatred and fear bored into mine. I was quickly brought back to the present.

Alice was staring speculatively at me, probably wondering why I was staring off into space. "Bella, are you okay? You looked like me when I get my visions." she said with a small smile.

"Well Alice, I must be going now. I need to get ready for tomorrows preparations. Ill see you tomorrow though!" I said with a bright smile to make her know she didn't freak me out too much.

"Okay Bella. Have a fun time with a special someone," she said and I walked out of her room with a confused look. What did she mean by "special someone"? I feel like whatever she says, there's some meaning behind it. I started my way towards the music room where all of my instruments are kept. I always seem to be relaxed when I'm around them. When I reached the music room, a sweet lullaby flowed through the room and out the door behind me. I searched the whole room for where this beautiful sound was coming from.

I walked around the other side of the piano to see the face that haunts my every thought. Edward Cullen, with his gorgeous messy bronze hair, was the source of this lullaby. He must have been so deep into the music because he didn't even realize I was watching him. His long, elegant fingers flowed over the keys with such grace. The notes he was hitting struck a rip in my heart that I didn't even know existed. I gasped out in pain and he looked up from the keys with a stunned face.

"Im sorry, I had no clue if this was a private room or not. I will leave now Princess Bella," he said with a sorrowful expression. Seeing his face that way made me chastise myself internally.

"No, don't worry about it. I just heard the music from the hallway and had to find out who was playing it. Words cannot explain how beautiful it is. Did you compose it?" I asked, while sitting down on the bench beside him. He looked at me with admiration and so much wanting. Our eyes locked and his gaze held mine for what seemed like an eternity. His succulent lips and chiseled face called to me. The need to taste his lips was the most overwhelming thing I have ever felt. His head inclined towards mine and we quickly turned away, wondering where the urge came from.

He started to play again and I raised my hand to touch his. When we finally touched, a spark was exchanged between us, causing us to flinch in curiosity. Embarrassed at my urges, I tried to keep the conversation flowing. "So Edward, it seems that you have a very nice family just by the look of them. Alice kidnapped me about an hour ago. She is one hyper little pixie." I said, and he burst out laughing.

"Yeah, she is quite a handful. So is Jaxson your mate?" he enquired, and I could be wrong but I could have sworn that I heard him growl at the thought of me having a mate.

"No hes not my mate, although he wishes it be different. I have yet to find the right person I guess." I said with sadness filling my voice. "What about you? Do you have a mate?" I enquired, crossing my fingers that he didn't.

"No, same with me. Havent found the right person. So Alice tell me you dont remember your past. That must really suck." He said, worriness flooding his words.

"Yeah, it really bothers me. I feel like im missing something or someone." I said, while turning to get up.

"I should go, Ill leave you to your music." Edward said, following me to the door. "I would like to see you again soon. Do you think that we could meet again in the garden in the back of the castle?"

"Well, yes, I suppose that would be alright. I will meet you there later on tonight." I said, heading towards the door. "Goodbye, Edward."

With a big smile on his face, he said " Goodbye Bella, I will see you later." And with that I walked out the door, in a complete state of happiness. So this is what Alice meant.
