So here we are; just the outtakes left. There's actually quite a bit so I hope that's alright. They're basically things that I wrote but didn't really fit into the mood of the story, there's also a whole chapter in EPOV that I took out. Before each outtake I also explain where in the story it takes place. So, enjoy! Also DISCLAIMER: THIS WAS NOT PROOF READ, they're just outtakes so I figured it wasn't a huge deal.

Can we talk for a minute about how it's really hard to write Aro as a nice character? So to get my fix, I'm titling this as an outtake from Ignite. This takes place after Bella and Edward get back from Bella hunting animals for the first time.

We got back to the castle and I noticed none of the guard was around.

"Where did everyone go?" I asked.

I felt Edward stiffen at my side. "I think you should check the throne room."

I ran as fast as I could down to the throne room, leaving Edward behind, and opened the doors to find them cleaning up from feeding.

"What the hell, Dad?!"

"Bella, how lovely of you to join us. But I'm afraid we didn't save you any," he said not looking up.

"I'm not hungry anyways."

He finally turned to look up at me, and was taken aback by my new eye colour, "Well... I see then."

"I thought we were respecting the Cullens this week."

"Well you, dear daughter, are taking that a little too far. You don't have to feed on animals for their sake. I can get Heidi to fetch someone for you."

"I'm not doing it for their sake. I'm doing it for my own."

"And Edward?"

"What are you-"

"Don't think Marcus couldn't sense your bond the first day the Cullens arrived. I know you two are mates. But my real question is; did Edward make you do this?" He looked furious... like he could kill. And I would never let him do that to Edward.

"He gave me a choice dad, and I wanted to try."

"Well he didn't have the permission."

He raised his hand slightly and Demetri and Felix left the room only to come back with Edward.

"Let him go," I said through my teeth. "Dad, why are you doing this?"

"Last time I checked, Bella has her own life." Edward spoke up.

I turned to glare at him. "Edward," I said lowly, "no."

"Aro, I can assure you that animal blood does nothing but change your eye colour."

"I can't be to sure of that, Edward." Dad started towards him. "It also decreases the fear that takes place in my guard. And I cannot let that happen."

In one swift motion, Felix and Demetri let go of Edward and Dad had a grip around his neck.

"DAD, STOP!" I yelled. "What are you trying to do?! Take away the happiness I haven't felt in years?!"

Anger boiled up inside me. "All I wanted to do was get rid of the grudge I held against my real parents for almost two hundred years! I wanted to know what it could be like to not hate them so much."

I knew it surprised everyone to hear me talk about my real parents. We'd never discussed it or brought it up because it had made me rage so much as a newborn. "Edward, helps me forgive, Dad. And if you hurt one inch of him, something I could never do, is forgive you."

He slowly let go of Edward and I stalked toward them and grabbed Edward's hand. I dragged him out of the throne room and called back behind me. "I'm not leaving the castle. Don't even think about following me."

Here's an outtake at Bella's birthday party with the Denali's. I find it really hard writing between all the difficult timelines. I have ideas that I want to use but because of when a character is born, I can't actually use it. Looking at it now, this wouldn't have really worked anyways and I enjoy that lighter scene that went into the story instead. You probably have no idea what I mean, so just go ahead an read it.

We danced a little longer until I decided to mingle a little bit. I pulled Edward off the dance area to greet the Irish Coven, but he started pulling me to the Denali's first.

Halfway there I stopped him, "Edward I don't think that's such a good idea."

He looked disappointed. "They're like family, Bella. I want to introduce you."

"I know who they are, Edward. I've met them before."

I remembered to a long time ago, when I had first joined the guard. It was when the problem of immortal children first arose. It was an initiation of sorts; I had the honour of ripping off their coven leaders head. They screamed at their beheaded mother in the fire afterwards; which made me feel the opposite of sorry. I was just ending my newborn stage, but the ache of my mother was still there. I'd threatened to kill them also if they didn't stop drawing attention.

At the time, I guess they were feeding off animal blood, but I didn't notice.

"What are you talking about Bella?"

"I- I…" I started tripping over words to tell him. He didn't know their leader, he hadn't been born yet. But I didn't know how it would affect him. So I said low, and carefully, "I'm the one that…killed their…mother."

Panic was written all over his face. I waited as it smoothed to understanding.

"Bella, I hardly think they're that troubled. I doubt they would pull any stunts here. Please, just let me introduce you."

I hesitated; I really didn't think it was a good idea. But he dragged me over anyways. I put on a presentable face. I'd never been in this situation before. How does one greet someone they saw over one hundred years ago after they killed their mother?

As we approached them, they looked at me quizzically.

"Tayna, Irina, Kate, Carmen, Eleazer. I'd like you to meet my mate, Bella."

I smiled at them. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Carmen and Eleazer shook my hand first, then Tayna and Irina as they looked at me strangely.

"You look really familiar," Tayna commented. I just shrugged my shoulders, trying to avoid the topic.

As I grabbed Kate's hand to shake it, I started to let Edward through my shield to tell him it was going better than I thought, but I'd accidently let in a different power.

Kate's.

I dropped to the floor in agony as Kate gripped my hand harder; shooting electrical volts through my entire body. I screamed the loudest I'd ever had and heard the room go silent.

In the same second Kate gripped my arm and threw me across the ballroom, and I crashed into a wide mirror on the wall. I laid on the floor, shaking, still in shock from the volts that had subsided.

I looked up to see that Felix had a death grip on Kate and Dad was holding a hand up at Jane so she wouldn't use her power. Edward was at my side, making sure I was okay. He started rubbing my back, trying to stop the shock.

As I started coming back to reality from the shock, I heard my dad trying to settle down the room. All I saw was red as I looked over at Kate in Felix's grip.

I slowly got up from the shattered glass around me, brushing myself off. Then I ran as fast as I could towards Kate. I yanked her out of Felix's grip and forced her into the floor. I was fixing to rip off a leg when I felt two sets of arms pulling me off.

As I was pulled back, she slowly stood up, and I yelled, "She attacked me! Let me go!"

Then she yelled back, "You deserve that for killing my mother!"

"SHE DESERVED TO BE KILLED! Who creates an immortal child?! No one anymore; it's a law! Because creating an immortal child IS A STUPID THING TO DO!" I yelled back.

My dad cut in then, "I suggest that if you cannot control yourself, you should not have come." He spoke to not just Kate, but the Denali's. "Jane, please show them out."

I wrote this chapter that was just supposed to be filler, but then I started writing more about the plot and it became significant. So I had to cut out all the fillers. I thought you guys may be interested in it, but it's nothing special.

BPOV

The night was clear. I could count all the stars and name all the constellations. The sound of people still out in Volterra at two o'clock am was perceptible from the roof top garden. It had rained a lot lately and I suspected this was the humans getting their fix.

The brightest constellation out tonight was Cygnus. Cygnus was Latin for Swan. My favourite story behind it was that the great musician, Orpheus was murdered by the Thracian women for not honouring Bacchus. Upon his death, he was transformed into a swan and placed in the heavens next to his harp; represented by the constellation Lyra.

The one thing I truly remembered of my human life was stars. The story of constellation Orion seemed to be my favourite then. Probably because it was so big and bright.

This is what gave me hope. The hope that Edward was safe, at home with his family, looking up at the same sky.

EPOV

At night, everything in me would melt away as I counted all the stars in the sky over and over until they disappeared. I couldn't help but recognize that Bella might be looking at the same night sky.

It was like all the stars in the heavens were put there for us. It was the one form of communication we had while we were on two opposite sides of the world.

This was originally a whole chapter of Edward POV. It basically shows how James kidnapped Edward and everything that went on, on his side of the world after he left Bella in Volterra. I realize that I never actually filled everyone in on how James got Edward so easily, and this says why, but if you had other ideas, you may keep them. I was actually about to post it, and then decided it was best to keep everyone guessing.

EPOV

The rain seemed to follow us home. It was the only thing my mind took time to notice.

My heart was back in Volterra, Italy.

When we arrived home, Esme made us all sit in the living room. Although I saw in her thoughts this family meeting was for me.

I should have suspected something when everyone's minds were suddenly blocked from me in the court yard. Bella didn't want them to slip before she could say anything. Once she removed her shield everyone's thoughts came pouring into my mind. I felt like they were paralyzing me. Emmett and Rosalie seemed to know, what she was doing, but no one else had any thoughts of knowing.

Esme had been blocking her thoughts since after the party by translating the Human Rights Act into Polish. I didn't even know Esme knew Polish.

I figured something was up with her and was antsy for her to tell me whatever she was hiding. I knew it had to be about Bella. Esme was the one on that balcony with her at the party.

"I thought that everyone might want to know that Bella informed me she'd be back one day." Esme spoke up after we'd all been sitting in silence.

She slowly stopped blocking her thoughts as she voiced them. "She told me that, with her on the guard, we're all in danger. Someone's been threatening them lately, and she'll contact us after they've been dealt with."

Esme let on that was all she knew. But I knew it wasn't. She still seemed to be blocking one piece of information.

Someone was threatening the Volturi. If we could be in danger that meant Bella, my Bella, was in danger too.

"Why didn't she tell me? How could I have just left? I should have stayed to keep her safe!" I was no longer sitting on the sofa, I was up on my feet, pacing around our living room.

Esme was still hiding something from me in her mind.

"Esme, please tell me what you're hiding! I can't take this, what do you know?" I restrained myself from getting up in her face.

"It's nothing you need to know, Edward."

"Then I'm going back to find out!"

I bolted toward the door only to be thrown back by Emmett.

I knew my family wouldn't let me leave, but I would still try. I had to get back to her; she was more in danger there than I was here.

I got up off the floor and started towards the door again. But Emmett had me by the throat before I was even close to the door.

Don't let him do anything reckless and if he tries, threaten him with whatever you need to. I need to do that for me, okay? It's the only way to keep him safe.

Bella's voice came through his thoughts. She asked him to makes sure I didn't come back. He thought of the pain on her face as she told him this.

"Edward, you know you can't go back. Bella wants you to stay with us until this is all over. You can't go back." Emmett was right in front of me, thinking of his conversation with Bella to back up his words.

He let me go, and then Esme was guiding me up the stairs to my room on the third floor.

Just before she shut the door she gave me a sad look, "I'm sorry, but we're all just going to have to wait."

And wait I did.

The days went by slowly.

Esme still hadn't slipped on who was had been threatening the Volturi. And I still hadn't given up on going back to Volterra. My family was watching me like a hawk, I couldn't get close to the treaty line before they caught me.

School wasn't a big enough distraction. I wasn't being forced to go, but the problem with living so close to humans is that you have to keep up appearances.

One day I sat at my piano to distract myself. But the music that came out of my fingertips reminded me too much of the time I'd spent with Bella, and I had to stop.

Running through the forest and taking high speed drives to Seattle didn't help either. All they did was leave me alone to my thoughts of how Bella was, and if she was being safe.

After almost a month I had a weird feeling of someone watching me. Especially during school.

I'd gone to Alice to see if she might have seen something unusual. But her visions were slowly becoming all foggy, no matter what she was looking at. I began searching myself through the minds of others, but there was nothing. No thought out of place, no new people in the small town of Forks.

It was all very odd. Carlisle told me he'd be on the lookout also, but I wasn't entirely convinced he was taking me seriously. After returning home silently one night, I'd learned my family was simply playing along and were only worried for my sanity. Carlisle even wondered if he should call the Volturi and see hoe Bella was doing, just to get her to come back for me.

But I wasn't crazy; someone was watching me and my family. Alice claimed she just hadn't been paying close enough attention, but I had a feeling someone, somewhere was controlling the strings on a well built puppet.

At four and a half weeks of being back in Forks, something was different.

There was a mind out of place. A 'voice' that I didn't recognize.

They hid their thoughts all day, thinking as a normal teenager in school. But they were coming from the forest.

Two could play at that game.

I didn't do anything about it all day, but listen. I sat through my classes and lunch without telling my family or running off to the forest to find out who it was. I just listened.

Until their thoughts changed.

On my way to biology – the only class without one of my siblings – I heard one word that could make me do anything, Bella.

The thoughts went on as I slowed my pace to building 4.

I'm surprised Bella hasn't caved yet, Edward. She's been so worried for your safety. She's one of the most powerful vampires on this planet, but threaten her mate and she does whatever you want.

I made my way right past the last building on the school and straight into the forest without anyone noticing. All I had planned was that I'd be coming back, that way Alice wouldn't think I was making a great escape to Volterra… again.

It's a shame she left you alone, it just makes my job that much easier.

I kept following the thoughts deeper into the woods until I was almost at the treaty line.

That when I finally decided to speak up.

"Who are you?!" I yelled out.

A figure blurred across my vision and then I heard a familiar voice behind, "Guess," he sneered.

I'd know that voice anywhere. He'd crashed Bella's birthday party a month ago.

"James," I sneered back. I quickly turned around into a crouch to attack him, but he beat me to it.

I was thrown into a tree that cracked in half beneath me. I struggled to get back up; thanks to the lack of blood in my system – I hadn't fed in over two weeks.

Soon he was on top of me. He picked up my shoulders just to ram me back into the ground. I tried to fight back, but I was too weak.

Finally, he stopped.

"You might want to come with me, if you want to keep little Isabella Volturi safe."

He had her. He had Bella.

My first reaction was to go with him, what other option did I really have?

My weak body got up off the ground and I followed at a slower pace than usual. I wished now more than ever that I hadn't neglected to hunt in over two weeks. I would've followed James anyways, because I'd do anything to make sure Bella was safe… even if the cost was my life.

This scene takes place on the way back to Forks after getting Edward back. This was the initial scene I wrote but then I decided to add the tension a bit… to maybe foreshadow a few things later on in the story. I don't always outline things to a T and this was one of those circumstances. After writing what actually happens in the story it helped me set up what would happen later.

"You can't tell me they've never done anything to scare you. The whole vampire race is scared of them… you especially." He said with an underlying pride because I wasn't just a Volturi anymore, I was his.

"You are." He nuzzled his face into my hair.

I thought I'd gotten him off the topic, but he asked again, "Have they ever done anything to scare you?"

I ran through my memories like a cabinet full of folders with records of my life.

One memory stood out… not the most, but it stood out. And I showed Edward the night Alec found me.

It was a very dim and almost muddy memory… one that I only remembered bits of.

It was cold, my arms wrapped around my small legs and I shivered to stay warm.

Suddenly a figure appeared in front of me, I wasn't scared until I saw his bright red eyes.

I trembled even more with fear.

"It doesn't work…" he whispered. "How is that possible?"

I tried to curl away from him but I was shivering too hard. A whimper escaped my lips.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you… not now."

All I could remember next was a hand leading me down dark and cold hallways. And then warm light and a blanket around me.

They didn't try to keep their voices low, I heard every word.

"There only two choices now."

"Yes, we either keep her… or have her for dinner."

This made me tremble more – who were these red-eyed creatures?

"A talent in vampire life is just too promising, we cannot kill her."

"What about her human life?"

"What about our own immortal children laws?"

"She was freezing on the street; I don't think she has much of a human life."

"Aro! Are you not paying attention? She's far too young to be changed. There will be rage everywhere if we go against our own laws!"

"I understand, Caius. I suppose… we just keep her until she is at the proper age."

Then I was running. I was scared for my life, I didn't know what these creatures would do to me. I didn't know where I was running or who I would go to, but I wanted out of this place.

I didn't even make it two steps before there was someone to stop me.

His eyes were almost a milky red, and his skin looked translucent.

My body shook as he crouched to become the same height as me.

"We're not going to hurt you little one. My name is Aro, what's yours?" It was the same man who I heard speaking before, but his voice was softer and calming.

And just like that, just with one change in the tone of his voice, I didn't feel so scared anymore.

My shield snapped back, and we were brought back to present day.

"I believe you," was all Edward said.

That is all! I'll definitely miss this story, which is one of the reasons I've been mentioning a sequel. Let me know if you'd be interested in one! I don't know when a sequel will happen (I guess it depends on the demand for one), but I'd like to get it started (aka a couple of chapters) and have a good outline before I start posting it. In the meantime, you're welcome to follow me and get updates on one shot I post and also when I do post a sequel.

THANKS AGAIN for being amazing readers! Here the last of the stats:
