Chapter 21:

Alice's P.O.V-

I was sitting on Jasper's lap, with his arms wrapped around me. I snuggled closer to him, and inhaled his scent. I closed my eyes, I wanted so badly to find out what Lauren was hiding, and why Bella was so frustrated. I cared for Bella more then anything, I would die for her, and then I began having a vision.

It was about midnight it was a full moon. The strange thing was it was un-clear, it was all fuzzy.

I could make out four people. It looked as if they where standing on the edges of a meadow.

One of them began to say something, I could only pick up bits and pieces of the accusation.

"Edward,"

"Lying"

"She's not what"

"Don't you"

"Hiding,"

and the last word I could make out was strange,

"Victoria."

Then everything went completely black.

My eyes bulged open.

"Alice, sweetie what happened?" Jasper said suddenly, sending calming waves towards me.

"Jasper, something USN't right." I said to him facing him, I needed to find out what happened, I knew a couple of things,

1. It has to do with Edward.

2. Someone has been lying.

3. Victoria is a big part of this.


Bella's P.O.V-

I was depressed. The days began slipping by, Izzy tried getting me back on my two feet, but I was broken. I had died, my heart was shattered.

I had no reason to live anymore. Edward betrayed me, Alice my best friend hates me, and I couldn't do anything about it. I was a lifeless vampire. I only did the necessary things, like hunting, school, and personall hygiene. But that was it, I didn't talk anymore, I wouldn't smile, and I definitely wouldn't laugh.

It was like any other day, we went to school, we came back, and I just looked out of the window.

"Ok, that's it, Bella. We are going back to the Cullen's and talking face to face with Edward." Izzy announced. I turned to her shock written all over my face.

"Why?" I whispered.

Izzy laughed in sarcastic way, "Why? Well because I am sick of seeming my sister a lifeless thing . I know Bella that you have given up all hope, but we are going to get to the bottom of this." she demanded.

I stared at Izzy. I loved her so much she was the only thing in my life that was keeping me from doing suicide.

"No." I simply said, turning my attention back to the window.

I heard her growl, "Bella! You are coming with me now!" she ordered. I felt her anger and frustration seep through my body,

"Bella, I know that you don't want to go because you don't want to get hurt. You just want to protect yourself by blocking out people who love you. I know you don't want you heart shattered even more, but please...you need to come with me, I truly believe that confronting Edward will sort this whole thing out." Izzy said,

I was baffled, she was right. I was just protecting myself from being hurt. I simply nodded.

"Great! We leave now." she said, smiling at me. I rolled my eyes and we left the apartment.


Rosalie's P.O.V-

Emmett and I had just arrived back from our honeymoon. We hadn't planned on telling anyone about seeing Bella, or the locket. But something inside me told me I should speak with Carlisle. I walked up into Carlisle's office, and I saw Alice there instead.

"Oh hey Rose." Alice said, as she closed a book she was reading.

"Hey, Alice do you know where Carlisle is?" I asked, I had the locket in my hand.

"Ya, he went to the hospital early." Alice explained. "Why do you need him?"

I inwardly sighed, of course she would ask, I might as well tell her, "We where in Spain, and Emmett and I thought we saw Bella, and we chased after her. So she led us to a huge pile of ash. And there we found this," I said holding out my hand showing Alice the locket.

Alice stepped closer to take a better look, "To my beloved sister?" Alice sited the words. "What do you think it means?" Alice asked me.

"I don't know, but something USN't right." I said.

"Wait, Rose here look at this." I said taking the picture out of my pocket.

"Holy shit is that Lauren..." she whispered

"And Victoria." I added.

"Hold up look at that." Rose said pointing at something on the picture. I grabbed it out of her hands, and took a closer look at the photograph. There around Victoria's neck you could see the smallest hint of a golden chain.

"No way." I said.


Izzy's P.O.V-

I was speeding down the highway, going 250 miles per hour. Bella was still uncertain about things but that would change. We needed to find out what the hell is going on the the Cullen's.

We where at the Cullen's door with in an hour thanxs to my crazy driving. I was about to pound like crazy on the door, but just then the wind blew, and I could smell Edward's scent and Lauren's. I growled under my breath as I grabbed Bella's hand and we ran through the forest.

It was late, almost midnight, the moonlight was streaming through the trees, making everything illumed. I stopped at the edge of the forest, there was a huge plain. That's when two figures emerged. Edward was standing there with his arms wrapped around Lauren's waist. I felt Bella let out a dry sob at seeing this. I narrowed my eyes.

He was dead.


Lauren's P.O.V-

I smiled, I could see Bella and her sister across the other side of the plain. Yes this was going to work perfectly,

let the battle begin.
