Chapter 14
Yes this chapter is very very very short but it was combined with ch 15 and then I split because it was confusing. I have finished ch 15 and it is very long and one of my fav chapters and if I get my reviews up to 36 then I will update cos I need more reviews. They review status is 29 so I need 7 reviews for ch 14. That isn't much and it just takes one second so pretty please review.
Note: A good song to play for this chapter is by Delta Goodrem, it is called I can't break it to my heart.

"Yes. Do you know them?"
"No," she said quivering, "I'm confused?"
"Don't worry," he said looking at us, "I'm sure they'll leave. We need to go anyway it is almost time to start getting for the wedding. Aren't you excited?"
"Yes, very. The dress fitted well... it looks okay."
"I'm sure if it is on you it looks beautiful." She turned away shyly but he put a hand to her face and kissed her.
At least she was happy I told myself. I started to shake again, but it wasn't because I was about to phase but because I was broken. But this was what imprinting was, I had to be whatever she needed me to be, and right now that was nowhere near her.

There was no point staying. I couldn't imagine myself saying this, but, yes, we had to leave Nessie here. It was clear that for now this was where she wanted to be. Someday, I told myself, we might be together again.
"My wife does not know you. I'm sorry you have come so far. Have a safe journey though," Alexander said while flicking his hand around to the vampires in the courtyard, suggesting that they back off. "Are you sure you don't know them?"
"Yes. Positive. I have never met them before." She seemed to quiver at met, which gave me a second of hope but then I remembered like all the other times how she had been scared of us. That was all she was. Scared.
"So if you wouldn't mind leaving," Alexander began looking at us. He made another gesture to one of the vampires in the courtyard and the door began to open. "As you can imagine we are anxious to get the wedding under way."
Rosalie jolted and let a menacing hiss escape from her mouth, "We aren't leaving."
"WE will have to make you then," Alexander growled separating himself from Nessie.
"No!" she screamed and then regained herself, "Alex, darling, we shouldn't have such violence before the wedding. It won't put us in the right frame of mind. Let's just give the woman a moment to reconsider her words."
Alexander grabbed her and turned her around so her back was facing us.
"Soon we will be married darling," he cooed taking her hand.
Rosalie turned to face us, her eyes burning from rage.
"Bella! Edward! Are you just going to leave her here?" she hissed looking back at Nessie. Nessie was untying something from her neck, the necklace I had given her with my ring on it. I saw the silver chain gleam delicately as she dropped it in Alexander's hand. I didn't care about the necklace, but I did about the ring, her promise ring. She was meant to wear it to tell me she had remembered me but she had never got the chance. Now she never would. Alexander was likely to destroy it now, remove any evidence of me from her.
"What can we do Rosalie?" Edward asked, "She will fight against us, even you can see that. Even with the Denalis and the Clearwaters here we will get nowhere. The solution I see is to leave..."
"Leave?" Bella raged.
"Listen," Edward urged, "Using Eleazer and Alice, we can track down a vampire. Surely there will be a vampire or human with the potential to unblock curses from people. It may take a few months but I think it is our best option."
"Edward is right," Alice said putting a hand to her head, "It shouldn't be too hard. And Garett, Kate's mate is quite a good tracker. I'm certain that in a few months we could have tracked down the person we need."
"And?" Carlisle asked, "If they are a human? Are we just going to change them?"
"We will ask nicely of course..." Bella trailed off. They all looked at me with sad eyes, but a glimmer of hope still trailing in them. I didn't wonder to think what mine looked like.
"We definitely can't stay here," I mumbled looking back at Alexander and Nessie holding hands. I turned back around in disgust. "Maybe this plan will work. But remember Alexander's riddle? I'd hate to change someone against their will and then for it not to work."
"But it is our only hope," Rosalie added.
"We have to leave her," Jasper affirmed.
We turned, leaving Nessie in the arms of the most evil vampire I had met. We walked from the courtyard, our hearts in our throats. They turned; Alex chuckled as he wrapped his arm around Nessie's shoulders. She still had her left hand on her stomach but it pained me too much to think of her so I turned back around, leaving the last memory of her imprinted in my mind.
