I couldn't believe what I was reading. When did this happen? How? Was this some kind of joke? No she never played games like this. Why was she leaving like this. Were? And who was her brother? She never told me anything. Since when did she know about her mother. This was all way to bizarre.
I was speechless. I didn't know what to say. I was completely alone now. Who would be there for me now? Carlisle and Esme wouldn't be the same. They were visiting not staying. How was I going to go through life. She said she'd be back but could I count on your word? Something was very fishy about this. Lillian never did this. This wasn't like her at all. She had planned this though. If she had done this at the last minute she'd screw it all up and I'd find a way to find her. But she left no clues, no scent. I was confused. I was lonely, once again.
"What's wrong" asked Carlisle.
I couldn't speak. Nor did I want to.
"Bella?" he asked.
I gave him the letter so that he could read it. I couldn't move from the shock.
He took it staring at me with worried eyes. Esme was right beside him.
They read the letter and I guess they were shocked too.
"Oh Bella" Esme whispered as she came and embraced me into her arms for comfort.
"Its okay" she whispered into my ear.
I couldn't help but notice Carlisle's reaction though. It wasn't shock. It was curiosity.
(Edward POV)
I ran as fast as I could. Carlisle had either been right or wrong but either way Victoria wasn't in Montreal. He had told me in his mind that she was there, alive. I ran with fury just wanting to kill her. To get revenge on her like she did with me. I was hopeful to find her but I searched and I found no trace of her there.
I entered my home to find it vacant. No one was home and no one had been home for about a week. I could tell by the faded scent. I didn't want to be here all alone, not that it made much of a difference. I walked back outside and decided to go for a walk through the woods.
(Lillian's POV)
My mother was quite something. She was different than anyone I knew. All those stories of Bella about her were by far pure lies. Rage went through me when I thought of that. And worst of all the Cullens wanted her dead. We had just came from hunting, human hunting. I loved the taste of them. I couldn't believe I was missing out all this time. My eyes were fury red. I walked with her back to her cabin. My brother was waiting of us there.
"So Bella hasn't changed a bit has she?" smirked my mom.
"No," I smiled back.
I opened the door and there revealed my brother, William.
He smiled at both of us. He got up to receive my mother in a welcome hug.
"I've missed you so much" he said.
"I have too" she said. "I finally have the two of you together again, but this time forever."

We stayed there for a couple hours until it was time for me to go back to the hotel where I was staying. I said my goodbyes and left. I walked through the woods for awhile admiring the beauty. I remember the last time I was here. How could I not. That's when everything started. That night everyone remembers.
I walked for about 10 more miles when I heard a noise ahead of me. I sniffed the air. My body froze instantly. The smell was quiet familiar. I remembered it. It was from that night. The scent was petal sweet. I walked further and further until I heard the noise again. This time it was closer. By now the scent was really strong and I knew it wasn't a human. It must be a vampire. But who. I knew it was familiar but I just couldn't figure out who it was. I kept my eyes in front of me to see if I would see her or him. Then suddenly I felt something behind me.
I froze in place. I knew the vampire was behind me now. I could feel it.
I turned my body instantly to see who it was. I stopped. I knew who this was. I gasped when I saw him. I didn't know what to think or what I shouldn't. The moment I waited for my whole life. The person I've always wanted to meet. So many stories from this person I had heard. I was shaking. But not of terror. Of amazement. He was by far more beautiful than described. It was true no words could describe him. He was a goddess. He was....
"Edward" I whispered.
(Edward's POV)
How did she know my name? How did she know who I was. She had heard lots of stories about me but her mind wouldn't let me see who told her. Her reaction was like most others except for the fact she knew me by memory and not by person. I felt like she knew everything about me. She had so much information about me that it scared me a little.
"How do you know my name" I asked.
I know you can read my mind, Edward.
What! She knew that too. This girl knew too much about me. Someone that I knew must have informed her. That was the only possiblitity.
Wait......
I suddenly recognized her. This was the girl from Italy. She was the reason Carlisle had went to the Volturi. I remembered her from Carlisle's thoughts. She was Victoria's daughter. She was Lillian.
"Your Lillian aren't you?" I asked ignoring her thought.
He did he know my name? Does he know me. Does he know everything.
"Um Yes" she hesitated for a minute.
She was hiding something and I could tell. She was good though by blocking thoughts.
"You know my father"
Carlisle. Yes I do know him.
Flashbacks came to her head of when she meet him. She showed me that it was him whom she got the information from. She could research his past with one touch.
"That's how I know you, everything about you" she said.
Even Bella
