A.N.- Ok so a lot of you hated the ending of this, so I decided to make an alternate ending to it that will be continued, hope you like this one better.

Disclaimer- I don't own twilight

I couldn't think of how to answer. Did I really love Edward? Or had it just been a ploy to get rid of Lucifer to leave? Had it all been a lie? No. I refused to believe that. I was changing. I wasn't a con artist anymore, I wasn't a liar. Ok, so maybe the occasional lie, but not the big lies like this.

"Yes." I said slowly. I looked up into his beautiful eyes. "I did mean it. I love you Edward, it just took me a while to realise that scary thought."

Edward smiled and tucked a lock of hair behind my ear gently. He smiled as he pulled me towards him, leaning in to kiss me. "WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE THEN?!" Emmett's voice echoed in the small cave. I sighed and pulled away from Edward.

"Nothing, it's done with. He's gone." Edward said as he smiled at me, our gaze still locked with each others.

"Awww! You mean I missed the fun?" Emmett whined.

"Emmett, it was not fun, it was a man who was going to take me away so that I could live an eternity alone. That is the complete opposite of fun, it is a nightmare." I told him bluntly and coldly.

"Whatever, a fight's a fight and fights are fun." He said, grinning like an idiot as he walked into the cave.

"You realise that if you had had another f in that sentence it would probably be a swear word." I commented. I turned to Edward and sighed. "Hey, I want to go hunt, alone, I think I have the strength not to kill a human, but I want some time to think about what has happened." I told him.

He smiled crookedly at me. "Sounds good, I'll see you back at the house." He told me. He gently stroked my cheek before he and Emmett walked out of the cave and headed back to the house.

I sighed as I looked around the small cave. So many memories. Both good and bad. I sighed again and headed out of the cave.

"Now now Isabella, you shouldn't just ignore your guests." I familiar voice said from the shadows.

I frowned and peered into the darkness where I heard the voice. My eyes grew wide as I realised who it was. I bowed my head slightly. "Aro, I did not know you were here." I whispered.

He chuckled. "Don't bow child, you do not need to bow." He walked over to me and lifted my head up by my chin. "You seem to have become even more beautiful than I remember."

I looked away from Aro. I felt completely betrayed. "You told him didn't you, you told him where he would find me." I whispered.

He dropped his hand and sighed angrily. "Yes, I did." He told me, no sorrow or remorse in his voice. "You lied to me Isabella, you told me you would give yourself to me in exchange for protection from Lucifer. You told me that you would be my wife, that you would be mine. I don't take kindly to liars."

"You brought him here and almost got me killed!" I screamed at him pulling away from him. "You should have known I would never go with you Aro, I still will not because I do not love you."

He chuckled. "Ah, yes love. I know who you love. That Edward Cullen. Amazing power the boy has, not as magnificent as yours but still magnificent." He sighed and shook his head. "It is such a pity I will have to kill him."

I glared at him. "You will not kill him." I snarled out to him.

He chuckled. "I will make a deal with you Isabella, no harm will come to the Cullen family if you come to Volterra and you become my wife." He told me.

I shook my head. "I will not become your wife."

"Fine then, I will settle with you just joining the guard. If you wish to save your precious Edward, this is the only way you can." He told me.

I bit my lower lip nervously. I could not let Edward die. I closed my eyes. "I will leave with you but only if you swear to me that you will not hurt any of the Cullens." I whispered.

"You have my word, now do I have yours?" He asked me slightly impatiently.

I nodded. "You have my word, now I must leave and tell them, meet me here at eleven tonight." I told him.

"If you are not here for eleven exactly I will go and order them all to be killed." He informed me.

"I will be here." I promised him. I turned around and walked away heading back to the Cullen house.

Edward frowned when he saw me. "I thought you were going hunting."

I shook my head. "I can't stand to do your pathetic way of hunting, it is vulgar and completely ridiculous." I lied to him.

The entire family looked at me shocked. "Isabella, you cannot truly mean that." Carlisle asked me.

"I do, why should I sink to the way of feeding from animals when we should be feeding off humans like true vampires." I said. I looked at Edward. "I lied to you Edward, I never loved you, I never will." I told him.

The pain on Edward's face was obvious, I had completely broken him by saying that. "Isabella." He touched my face but I flinched away. "Isabella, I know you don't mean that, please, just tell me the truth."

I looked at him, dead set in the eye. "This is the truth Edward, I do not love you, I did not love you, I will never love you."

I closed my eyes, dropping the shield around my mind for only a matter of seconds. Watch out of your window tonight at midnight, you will find the truth. I said in my mind before putting my shield back up. He looked at me shocked but nodded once very slightly so it wouldn't be seen by his family. I looked up at the clock, it was coming up to the time I had to meet Aro. "I must leave." I said as I walked out of the room and headed back to the cave.

I hated myself for hurting Edward, and I hated myself for leaving him, it was tearing me apart to pull myself away from him, but I had to. I did not want any of them to die, so I had to leave.

I arrived at the cave and looked up at Aro. "I am ready." I told him.

He smiled at me. "Good." He thrusted his arm out in front of him, a red cloak in his hand. "Put this on, we leave now."

I took the cloak from him and put it around my shoulders, pulling my hood up over my head. I looked back once more at the small town of Forks, never going to forget everything that I had found out about myself here. I knew that this was not going to be the last time that I saw Edward Cullen and his family. No, this was just the beginning, and I knew that we would be together again.

Some day.
