Memo: Hi, ohmigosh- I just found out that I haven't updated in like a MONTH, and I seriously thought it had been two weeks, but my computer crashed and I had to go to the library and they seriously will NOT let me stay on the computer for like anything-

And my computer's been crashed for like two weeks, and I can't even get assignments done,

And now I have three hours of homework, less then two hours to work on a computer (my dad brought a lab top home from his work place) since I have to go somewhere, and have to finish this before I start my homework…!!


Note: I was really disappointed in the number of reviews and hits for the last chapter since they sunk by over HALF of what usually are, and I can't say I'm too happy. There were barely any hits either. I seriously hope that you guys make the hits and reviews HIGHER (hint, hint!) this time because I actually am NOT feeling so bad for not updating in a while (though I seriously Did think it had been two weeks since I last updated!)

Time flies by fast!


Quick Summary of Last Chapter:

Victoria's made Edward and Bella into one body, and Alice is scared of the thing this 'one body' has become, and so she runs from it and knows she has to make the Volturi destory it.

Rosalie helped and was the main part in making this happen because she got Victoria to do this since she believes that this 'thing' that Edward and Bella have become will make her a human, like she's always wanted. She doesn't care about the consequences.


Bella's View


It was weird, being inside Edward for the first time, hearing what he was hearing. Seeing what he was seeing. Feeling what he was feeling.

The list went on and on.

But whenever anyone saw my beautiful Edward, they'd run and scream- and I didn't understand that at all, sure Victoria had put Edward and I in one body, but she was making us closer to each other than we'd ever have been before. And now I understood what he did and why he did it.

I didn't know how long this would last of course, and while Edward didn't care, neither did I since the only thing that mattered was if we were together- which we were.

And now we'd probably always be together.

But as soon as we got together though, and tried to tell Alice, she screamed and ran.

Edward had never seen her like this before, and quite frankly, neither had I.

None of us understood.

And as we walked the streets too, in Edward's gorgeous body, people screamed and ran too.

Edward and I didn't understand.

We kept walking and walking, talking to each other through Edward's mind. Both of us knew each other so much better now! I was thrilled.

But wherever Edward and I went, someone would go screaming and crying. We saw people praying, crying names of the Armageddon and what not, and this wasn't seeming to end either.

Wherever we went.

However we went.

Soon enough, Edward and I began to go fast so no one could see us, we didn't want to scare anyone anymore.

Perhaps, as I had told Edward, they thought that he was Jesus coming to save them-

That these were the last forty years, as they believed, that Jesus would come and descend upon the Earth and save it from Cyclops or whatever it said in the Bible.

All the signs of it grew too-

The world was slowly being destroyed, as everyone- sensible of course- knew that global warming was standing less than two inches in front of us, probably ready to destroy the world at the first chance it got.

Homosexuality (although I had no problem with it) was discussed in the Bible too, was really growing.

There were wars like all over in the world, the U.S. vice president Cheney saying he wanted to destroy the East-Asian country of Pakistan, who everyone knew was dealing out nuclear weapons and information to countries like Iran which had used it the best, North Korea with Kim Jong Il coming in second, and so many more nations the west feared.

This war would take us all down soon enough, and we'd probably have a cold war all over again- except for the cold part, replacing it with hot since tensions weren't low enough to just do nothing, they were more than high enough to want to destroy everything and everyone in it's path.

Technology, too, was the only obsession the world had. Houses must look like factories to anyone even from fifty years from the path. Without electricity and technology, this world was nothing. Just like James Marsters was trying to display in the last season finale episode of Smallville, coming from another planet and destroying all of the Earth's technology had driven everyone to become animals, just as he had said.

They- everyone else- having never seen Edward's beauty, must have assumed that he was Jesus- never have seeing Jesus either.

And I knew Edward was happy, so, so, happy to be with me that they probably saw that on Edward's face too, Jesus coming to save the world.

Jesus, whose role was never really understand- either being a myth, a son of God, a Messiah or a Prophet- they now saw someone just as good looking and probably assumed it was Jesus.

I knew the truth though.

Soon enough Edward and I had reached the ocean, and the eclipse- which was so darn beautiful too, all crimson and all looking down at us- let us see our reflection.

Edward tried to jump his body back.

I made it stay put.

And then I saw it.

The monster Edward and I were.

And the face seemed to be crooked, the teeth upward and backwards in the mouth interwining with the nose- might being mistaken as a pretty bad case of cleft lip if that was all there was too it.

But that wasn't of course.

The scalp was twisted and lop-sided too, part of the middle left side being bent upward and the skin so pale and hard, looking as a rock as it balanced and uncanny hair color, as though a dead evergreen tree.

And the hands- oh, the hands, I didn't know how Edward and I had missed his hands. The fingers on each side of the hand were three, the pinky and ring finger joint as one, the middle and the left finger as another, and the thumb pulled back inside the skin to less than half the height of the other two fingers- but still fat. Both hands held the same design.

I made Edward take off his shoes, and even the toe fingers had curled themselves on top of each other, as in having four toes instead of just two, two on each foot and seeming as if glued on- although the skin came far too apparent as something cloned wrong.

And Edward's size must have been the scream part, for he seemed to be eleven feet tall, his eyes interloped into four as though some creature-

And I realized, all the changes I'd been seeing in Edward's body seemed to happen because I came into it. Eleven feet derived from what? I asked myself.

Five feet of mine plus six feet of his.

6 hand fingers total because my hands had different shapes than his, twisting the fingers together.

And even his skin seemed a tad bit tanner, his eyes being four because his original two and plus my two added up to four.

The shade of our hairs mixed together, our toes curled up on one another in two feet only inches apart.

I was about to hurl at Edward for the first time- not necessarily hurling at myself of course, because I thought I'd do that once I reached the age of twelve.

This of all things was what Edward and I created if we were together.

Sure, we could talk to each other, but we also seemed to be merged.

But I do recall that when leaving the place Victoria had led us too, my body had been left on the floor.

Somehow my DNA had transcribed to Edward's DNA.

And no wonder Alice ran. No wonder Victoria said what she said. And no wonder people were praying.

We really were the beast.


Alice's View

I didn't take me long to tell Jasper where I was going.

I explained to him to watch out for Rosalie of course, and to tell her that he was meeting me at the Seattle airport to go to East Timor- the world's newest and arguably poorest country somewhere near Indonesia or something.

Jasper was a member of the company George Clooney and some of those stars represented like as in going to Sudan and helping out.

It didn't take much to be a member besides having internet and being ready to receive another bogus fundraising email every other week or whatever.

Jasper had the tolerance for it.

And he was due to go to some country anyway- although Rosalie didn't know that didn't really encourage people doing that- and especially people who'd 'just' reached eighteen according to their birth certificate as Jasper just had.

We had a booked ticket to Venice though, as we'd go to Volterra from there. Rosalie wasn't smart enough to check.

I reached him at the airport at half past four.

"What's the rush with the bags Alice?" he asked me, curious and grinning.

I laughed inside to myself- he thought we were going on some romantic cruise or whatever.

He apparently didn't know me well enough to know that I'd never really do that.

"What did you tell Rosalie?" I asked, tossing the question.

"Just what you told me to tell her," he shook his head. "I really don't like lying, and this better have been because you wanted to spend some private time with me or else-"

"Tell me exactly what you told her," I repeated, knowing I'd need to know what he said.

"Okay. Let's pretend you're Rosalie and currently occupied with telling Emmet to go take a hike, apparently. You don't really care what I'm saying. So I ask you as follows: 'Did Alice ever tell you that we were going to one of helping the world in crisis parts?' And then you shake your head, laughing at the imitation of you Rosalie had just done. And then you ask me when. And I say: 'Today actually. Well-' now I pretend to be embarrassed-'I found out just a few hours ago and so I booked the earliest flight since all the other times I don't really like and this would be easiest.' And you say 'Cool.' Then you ask me where Alice is, and I tell you: "Alice is at the Seattle Airport and really mad that I'm late since there are way too many people there and we might miss our flight.' Then you tell me to say to Alice bye and call me later. And then I tell Emmet to shut up, and leave, already having told Carlisle and Esme over the phone. Happy?"

"A bit," I shrug, and continue to walk forward.

"The boarding starts in fifteen minutes and we need to make it through the security line before that you know," I say, worried to how we'll make it past in time.

"Don't worry," Jasper reassured me, "Americans are nice enough, and when you ask them to move, they move."

And so Jasper went along, asking everyone in front of us to move, and showing them our ticket and lying about how our sister just had a delivery and so we were late to the airport.

They moved, just like he said.

He's definitely a better liar then I am- for he even had a newborn kid's pictures with him, making me think he had planned this.

And when I asked if he had, he'd only said that he hadn't.

The flight was a direct one, taking over a day and a third, and we reached Venice quickly.

Volterra was not far from it, and when we reached to go say Hello to the Volturi, they apparently were already waiting outside, and expecting our humble little visit.


NOTES:

PLEASE REVIEW!!

Tell me if you're confused, and I'll be more than happy to help make sense to it!


By the way, is a real website used for helping out areas in crisis like Darfur, and I urge anyone who wants to be a member- it's just like a quick registration that take's like two minutes and you don't need to pay or anything. It's for world criseses, but I seriously urge people, if interested, to visit the site!


But anything else you're confused on, TELL ME!!

And no, by the way, Edward and Bella just knew that they were in one body but didn't know how gruesome they looked, and I'm going to answer this before it's asked!!

But if any more questions, comments, suggestions, REVIEW!!

It motivates me to update faster, and I luv when people do it!!


PLEASE REVIEW!!
