I'm Back Again

EPOV

We were driven to the royal city and I've been here before but we don't stop, we move deeper in the city. We pass acres of land that looks isolated and desolate until we come upon houses built together in clusters. We move on through the houses up a road that leads right to a large castle made of glass. I swallow hard and look to Alice and Rosalie; this is bad if we are summoned to the kingdom. Alice looks at me with wide eyes and her thoughts scream at me.

They know about Bella!

Play it cool and deny everything!

I nod and look out to where the carriage has stopped, the door opens and we are herded out along the pathway but we don't enter the castle and I'm perturbed. It's evident where we are going now when a tall building looms in view, it has metal bars all over and guards at every entrance. We have arrived at the prison.

We arrive in the archway where there are elevators next to every door and each door has a level number stamped on it. They move us along till we reach a door labeled courtroom and we are ushered in.

It feels eerie in here, everything is dark and gloomy. We are made to stand by a large stage, its sometime before a door opens and in glides king aro. He stops in front of us and we bow out of respect, he looks me in the eye

"Tsk, tsk Edward I am surprised to see you here" he says in a silken voice.

"I am surprised too" I answer.

He quirks an eyebrow "you are unaware of your purpose here?" he asks.

"That is correct" I reply.

Liar!

Liar!

Liar!

Liar!

I am bombarded with thoughts everywhere in this room. He looks to Alice and Rosalie in question also, they shake their heads. He glides over to me and touches my hand, searching my thoughts for faults. I learned how to block unwanted thoughts so I am confident he won't find what he's looking for, I'm thinking about blocking thoughts when another thought hits me, maybe this is how Bella was keeping me out. Whenever I was near her all I got was static and I fully understand now, Bella is really special. Aro moves on to Rosalie and Alice, he flicks through every vision Alice has and gets discouraged when he can't find what he's looking for. Rosalie thoughts are easy all she is thinking about is Emmett.

Hmm. Aro thinks.

"So you are all unaware of any reason" he speaks up.

"No sir" we answer in unison.

He turns to a guard on the stage and nods. Out of nowhere a screen drops down and the image knocks my breath away and I can hear Alice and Rosalie's panic. All of a sudden I'm hit with images from Alice's mind, an image of Bella and Alice and they are smiling and an image of me and Bella walking together. (This image gives me pleasure and some reassurance but I don't know because I know we can never be together)

Lie and don't say anything, everything will be alright. Alice thinks and I can see a hint of a smile. I guess she has faith then I should have faith.

(I look to the image on the screen of Bella hanging by her neck with her hands bound behind her back. She looks asleep and if I didn't see her breathing I would believe that she was already dead, my heart aches and aches singing of remorse and if only. Alice's vision has made me see that maybe there is a way and maybe my feelings are love.)

"Do you know this person?" aro asks.

"I've never seen her in my life" Alice lies. And I can see this is hurting her to lie and I'm filed with remorse, if only I could have said something to change this.

"Do you know her Edward?" aro asks me directly.

"No" I lie.

He continues to stare me down, hoping I will crack under pressure but I won't because my family life is hanging in the balance and my friends, all the people I care about and that include Bella. That realization helps me keep it together.

"I would really hate to punish your family especially you Edward. We will be family soon. I hope there are no lies being told here today" Aro says softly but I see his red eyes flash.

And I hope everything will be okay like Alice promised.

~~~~~~The Fall~~~~~~

BPOV

I wake up groggy and disorientated. My eyes are adjusting and I make out bars in the distance and I can feel hard layers underneath me. Where am i? I think and then I sit up quickly as I remember what happened, images assault me of Edward arguing with me, of me running away and I can still remember how it feels to have electric coursing through your body. I must be in prison and I must be alive but why? They should have killed me now but I don't have long to ponder this.

Footsteps

Keys clinking

Movement next to me

All these noises hit me at once and then the whole space is lit with light, my eyes take a while to adjust to it and then I look around the cell I'm in. I'm sitting on the cold hard floor and a small cot is in the far corner, I look to my left and gasp as I see black eyes and a familiar face peeking through the bars in the cell next to me.

"Jacob?"
