I walked through the woods. The greenery on either side of me was quiet and peaceful. I had quite a bit of time before the sun set. I wanted to enjoy the scenery if today happens to be the day I leave this world. I used this time to throw away all of my feelings of regret in this world. I have lived long enough to know that death can be as heavy as a mountain or as light as a feather. It all depended on how you deal with it.

I have said all of my goodbyes, done all that I could to ensure my loved ones' safety. For me, even if death comes today, it will be like an eternal sleep that I should've had a long time ago. If I chose this path, then I should not have any regrets.

I stopped when I reached the meadow. This place was exactly how I remembered it, as if all these things never happened. I remembered the first and only time that Edward brought me here. It was the very last time that I saw him.

I walked to the very center of the meadow and sat down. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath. My most memorable memories began to flood my mind. My mind was replaying everything that has happened. I saw the first time that I met Edward to the time I let him go.

I opened my eyes to stop the flow of memories. I couldn't face the news that Edward was missing a second time. Grief was something I wanted to avoid today.

My surroundings were getting darker. The sky was a deep purple with dark rain clouds threatening to pour out moisture at any moment. Perhaps I should've brought an umbrella with me.

I pulled myself up and pulled my hair up into a pony tail. Then, I took one last look at the meadow and walked back onto the trail. Hopefully, whatever happens will happen before anyone notices that I was missing.

I walked along the trail until I saw a large boulder a few feet from the trail. It was covered in greenery like the rest of the forest were. I made my way toward itIt was as high as my neck. I gripped tightly on the rock and pulled myself up onto it.

I dusted myself off and plopped down onto the cold surface. I didn't know when I would meet my fate, so I might as well get comfortable while I still can.

I was amazed at my ability to speak so lightly of my own doom. Perhaps it was, because I didn't see any difference from death to the way I lived now.If I was going to go, why not go in content?

I closed my eyes once again and hummed the tune Edward played for me. I felt like the world was gently fading away under me. All that was left was the notes of the tune and the sweet memories the was still etched in my heart. I felt more content than I have in quite a while. When the tune began to come to an end, I heard a voice that I've missed for so long.

"Bella," it called.

The sound was so close to me. I was pretty sure it was coming from directly in front of me. Yet, I was afraid of what I might see if I open my eyes. I took in several breaths and caught the unmistakable scent that is Edward. Still, my eyes remained shut.

"Bella," it called again.

I hesitantly opened one of my eyes to peek at him. My surroundings were dark now, but the figure in front of me brought light back into my heart.

Edward stood a foot away from me. His deep golden eyes was looking at me with a strange expression. It was undoubtedly Edward. My lips broke into a smile, and I opened my other eye.I studied him for another moment. He hadn't changed a bit. After everything, he stood in front of me now. I jumped up and let myself fall off the boulder into his arms.

"Edward," I cried as I wrapped my arms around his neck.

I dug my face into his shoulder and clung to him tightly. I missed his touch and everything that was him. At this moment, I suddenly felt like nothing could ever hurt me. Nothing could ever tear me from him anymore. I was reminded of how happiness felt.

"I missed you too," Edward chuckled as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I smiled and gripped him tighter.

We stood in each other's arms for what seemed like a long time. I eventually closed my eyes to strengthen my sense of touch. This way, I could always remember this. I felt like I was floating on clouds until I was suddenly jerked back down to earth by the sound of clapping.

I opened my eyes but didn't let go of Edward. The sound of clapping was coming from only a few yards away from us. A breeze blew by suddenly, too suddenly, and Anabelle appeared. She wore a fake smile and her hands were clapping slowly as if she was amused at what she saw.

Her dress was a plain black making her almost camouflaged with the darkness. Her eyes were looking straight at mine with a satisfied glow. Her clapping stopped, but her smile only grew larger.

"That was a very touching reunion. Too bad I have to cut it short," she said with a threat in her voice.

Edward froze next to me as she spoke. He dropped his arms from my waist instantly and used them to push me away from him. My grip broke from his neck in shock. His force was so harsh and cold. I was not used to being treated like this by him.

After his push, I regained my balance and looked at him. His eyes were now emotionless and hard as he stared at me. The Edward that had embraced me a moment ago seemed to have disappeared without a trace. He was replaced with a total stranger that took the form of the man I loved.

"Edward," Anabelle called sweetly.

His gaze broke from mine and he made his way to her.I stared after at him in disbelief. He went to her without a second glance at me. Then, he kissed her on the cheek before settling beside her with his gaze fixed on me but not seeing me.. Anabelle flashed me a smile of victory.

"Edward," I muttered unable to process what just happened.

"Oh, it must hurt. Doesn't it Isabella?" Anabelle said. "It must hurt to have someone you love so dearly betray you." She laughed lightly and ran a hand through Edward's hair.

I suddenly comprehend what Anabelle was planning all along. She kidnapped the others to get to Edward. She wanted him all along. She was forcing me to go through what she did. She was taking her revenge through my love for Edward. I fell into her trap when I let him go.

"Anabelle, this has nothing to do with anyone else but you and I. Let the others go!" I demanded. If I was going to die, I should at least try to ensure that others won't have to come with me.

Her smile faltered for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.She took a step closer to me, but Edward stood still. I thought about running, but I knew that I could not outrun her. For me, this was the point of no return. I had to keep going forward. It is my only choice.

"You think that this has nothing to do with them? Anyone that is associated to you and your mother has something to do with my pain. I will not allow any of them happiness as long as I still suffer. The sight of you alone makes me remember what I went through. I vowed years ago to make life harder for you than death."

Her voice revealed that she was getting angrier as she got closer to me. Finally,she grabbed my neck with her arm and gripped it tightly. Her face and angry eyes were mere inches from mine. Fear shot through my body, but I chose to face her.

"If killing me really will ease your suffering then do it!" I fired back. "If revenge makes you feel better then kill me right here and now!"

A menacing growl escaped her throat and she began to grip my throat tighter. I closed my eyes and prepared for my death. I was no longer afraid. There wasn't anything left for her to take from me that I hadn't already lost. There was a long silence and then a louder growl. Anabelle flung me to the ground and released my throat in frustration.

I opened my eyes in time to see myself hit the ground. I landed with a pretty loud thump but didn't feel any pain. It was as if my body had gone numb from all of the suffering. I stared up at the angry Anabelle. She reached down and grabbed my arm and pulled me up by force.

"If you think I will end your pain so quickly, so are so terribly wrong," she growled at me. "I will make you suffer much more than I have. You will wish for death, but I will not give it to you. I will watch you live each day as everyone you love leaves your side."

Then, she threw me to the ground again. I caught myself this time and regained my balance. Anabelle stormed back to where Edward stood. Edward was looking at me with eyes void of emotions. I've just narrowly escaped death, but it would be meaningless if I lose Edward again.

"Edward! Edward, what is wrong with you?" I said getting up and walking toward him. He threw me a disgusted look that made me stop instantly.

"Stay away from me. I want nothing to do with you. Do not call my name so casually you insolent girl! Your stupidity only annoys me more and more ever moment I see you. There is nothing between you and me but utter disgust!" He said coldly and turned to Anabelle.

"It is no use, Isabella. He has forgotten about you. There is no impression of you in his heart but complete and total hatred," Anabelle informed.

Anabelle laughed at this and took his hand. She waved at me and disappeared with Edward.Thunder rumbled above the forest and the rain began to fall heavily. I stood still as my brain process what had just happened. I didn't want to believe it, but his tone made that impossible for me.

I sunk to my knees in the heavy rain. I replayed the words that just came out of his mouth. Every additional time that I did this, my heart would shatter into another million pieces, but I couldn't stop myself. I searched my mind for any sign that it was a mistake, but his hard cold eyes confirmed the awful truth. He doesn't remember anything about us at all. He can't even remember my name. He spoke to me as if he was speaking to a total stranger.

Lightning struck and temporarily lit up the dark skies enough for me to see the trees surrounding me. I wanted to get up but I had no strength left in my body. It was as if someone had drained every ounce of energy from my body and left me with an empty shell of a body. I have lost even the tiniest will to live now. In the past few months, my only purpose in life was to see his face again but now what was my meaning?

I stared at the rain hitting the dirt of the forest in silence. The raw and painful truth finally set in, and I broke out in dry sobs. The rain slid down my face causing the illusion of healing tears that was nonexistent for me. I wept for my own foolishness and for the pain that now inflamed my chest. Lightning struck again and again, and the rain began to increase as if the sky itself was weeping along side me.

I opened my mouth and let out an anguish scream that was drowned out by the lightning. I suddenly felt light-headed and stiff. I laid my head on the ground miserably and curled up in my own pain. My eyelids grew heavy and I had no strength left to fight, so I allowed them to close. My sadness soon consumed me and I drifted into the darkness. I silently wished for my own death to come and end this unbearable dark veil that has fallen on my life.
