Wow… I can't believe I'm writing this chapter… To be honest with you, I had given up on this story entirely! Then I just felt like updating… haha so here ya go! Another chapter like, a billion years later

WowAnUpdate!WowAnUpdate!WowAnUpdate!WowAnUpdate!WowAnUpdate!!!!!!!!!

I don't think I've ever felt such a flood of emotion as I did at that moment.

Pride, fear, happiness, sadness… But most of all, love. Looking at those vampires, all of whom looked back with the same emotions flickering through their faces, I felt whole again.

I felt my face break into a grin as tears of happiness started to well up in my eyes. They were really back! It seemed too unreal to comprehend.

I connected eyes with all of them, one by one. Memorizing the looks of joy they were giving me. Alice had a giddy smile on her face… uh oh. I can only imagine what Barbie-Bella stunt she'll pull later, but for now, I could honestly care less. Emmett and Jasper both gave me shy smiles, obviously trying to stay collected but show how happy they were. Rosalie gave me a wink and grinned. And then there was Edward.

He looked… amazing. A halo of light seemed to shine around him as he looked at me. His eyes were bright and a fantastic smile lit up his face. Our eyes met, and the world seemed to fade. The moment was broken, however, when a snarl came from the side of me.

"What is the meaning of this? You dare to defy me?!" Mathew did NOT look happy as he glared at the Cullens. All of them looked coolly back at him, and Edward stepped forward. His face had turned menacing. Hate was all I saw in his eyes.

"If you ever try to hurt Bella again, I will kill you. I will hunt you down, rip your head off, and burn you myself. Do you understand me?" Edward's voice was low and menacing. His eyes narrowed as he said the last few words.

I snuck a glance at Mathew, who looked completely terrified. He opened his mouth to respond, but instead formed it into a smirk. Raising an eyebrow at Edward, he responded.

"Is that so? I do believe you want nothing to do with Bella ever again. Isn't that what you told her?" Reality crashed back down around me. That was exactly what he had told me.

Edward turned to me again and his eyes were tortured. "Bella…" He whispered to me, letting out a sigh. My head was starting to hurt from the pain I was feeling at this moment. How could I have forgotten? He didn't want me! Ugh, you're so stupid Bella.

"It's your choice, Bella. You can choose to fall into his trap again, falling for him once more and then being left to your pathetic human life… or you can join me. If it's what you want, I'm sure the Cullen's wouldn't mind. Join me Bella, get the revenge you've always wanted!" His voice was soothing me again, making me want to join him. I wanted this, right?

"Guys… I'm sorry… But you've hurt me too much. Mathew can help me become powerful and strong. You can only hurt me." It was as if I could not remember the events that had taken place just moments ago. I lowered my head and stepped towards a beaming Mathew. I could feel the silence as it smothered me.

"Bella." My head shot up as Jasper spoke quietly. "This isn't what you want… I know this isn't what you want. Mathew will only hurt you, you know that. We love you. All of us. We never wanted to hurt you, and we regret everything that's happened in these past few months. Listen to me. I can feel your emotions and deep down, this isn't what you want."

He was right. I felt his calming aura as he sent waves of soothment to me.

"You're right, Jasper. This isn't what I want." I turned my head to Mathew. "You are a bastard who tried to kill me moments ago. Why should I trust you? You're a monster, nothing more."

His eyes narrowed as he growled low in his throat, clearly furious that his plan had failed. His hand whipped around and slapped me, before gripping my arm. I felt a bone snap and screamed in pain.

"You… You little…" He couldn't form a sentence. He started to tighten his hold, and I heard a snarl.

"OFF OF HER." I heard the yell from a few feet away as a body slammed into Mathew. I fell backwards into Alice's waiting arms. She held me tightly and whispered soothing words into my ear. I relaxed and watched the scene unfold in front of me.

Edward had Mathew pinned onto the ground. He was currently ripping his arms and legs off. Jasper, Emmet, and Rosalie all were helping him, and Emmet was handing the lighter to Edward. I buried my face into Alice's chest and squeezed my eyes closed. I could hear Mathew's screams… could smell the smoke.

It was all too much. My head spin and as Alice rocked me comfortingly and whispered into my ear, I fell unconscious.
