Previously:

"How are they now?" Lucius closed his eyes. When he snapped them open and growled, I knew something was wrong. Lucius cursed under his breath.

"If you want your family to live, you must follow me. Now"

Chapter 25 - Memories

"Why? What's happening?" I asked him frantically. As soon as he said what he did, I jumped out of my seat and flew through the doors following him. We were running vampire speed through the hallways. Now I had really learnt to hate them.

"After three centuries, Caius is finally getting his revenge on Carlisle" Lucius answered both questions in one sentence. But that left me with many more.

"What has Caius got against Carlisle?"

"A misunderstanding, that's what. Caius is a fool if he thinks he will win" Just as Lucius said that, we burst back through into the throne room. Many Guards in their black robes turned to stare at us. Marcus looked up from his throne but nothing more. Aro wasn't here though. Lucius ripped open the door Edward left through earlier with his power and stormed through with me closely following. We glided through many hallways and doors until finally we were close to our destination. I could hear the noise coming from the end of the corridor.

"… pay for all the damage you've done to me"

"I have done nothing to you Caius. Stay away from my family or I will kill you" I heard Carlisle threaten.

"Empty threat Carlisle. You'll be dead soon" There were a few growls, screeches and laughs. That's when Lucius and I charged through a door that had what looked like to me, blood splatters on. I instantaneously felt my shield up.

On one side of the large room were about 15 Guards with Caius directly in the middle and crouching; Aro was at the back with a smile on his face. On the other side was my family, all crouching and standing beside their partners, other than Edward who was standing alone. No one was yet aware of our presence. "STOP!" Lucius yelled just as Caius and the guards charged at my family. Lucius screamed raising his arms. The bodies of Caius and all the Guards in the room were raised off the ground and thrown against the back wall. Aro's laughter filled the room, silencing the screams of rage.

"Ha ha! Excellent, Lucius! You always make it on time!" Aro came over to Lucius and smacked him on the back. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have other matters to attend too" and with that, Aro walked slowly out the room, laughing as he went.

"LUCIUS! PUT ME DOWN!" Caius screamed.

"No, you'll just attack Bella's family again. I can't let you do that, Caius" I looked at Lucius completely stunned. So did my family and Edward. Lucius ignored us continuing to stare at Caius.

"LIKE HELL YOU CAN. I COMMAND YOU TO PUT ME DOWN, LUCIUS!" Lucius continued to hold the screeching and growling guards against the wall above the ground. But he started to lower Caius to the ground. "'bout time you idiot" Lucius snapped a deadly gazed to Caius. He smiled before flicking his arm toward the other wall directly above my family, Caius' body following. He then rotated his hand making Caius flip upside down. A few Guards snickered looking at the extended upside down body of the aggressive ruler. I let a few laughs off too.

"Carlisle" Lucius began. Everyone was now facing us, waiting to hear what Lucius would say. "I believe you would like to do the honours" Carlisle studied Lucius over. He was probably thinking why Lucius was now acting generously towards him.

"Why the sudden change?" he enquired. My family was now staring intently at Lucius.

"Off duty" Lucius shrugged off their stares with his arms still raised.

Carlisle blinked a few times in reply. Lucius acts so kind to begin with, then he gets completely aggressive and betrayal floats off him. And now he's all 'nice and sweet' again. To me it's seems like Lucius has a split personality. "Well then, as much as I would love too," Carlisle turned to smirk at Caius, "It is not my place to harm him" I saw Emmett's face drop and laughed.

"Emmett?" Lucius implored. I saw the light shine in Emmett's eyes. He turned to see Carlisle smiling at him. That was all the permission he needed to walk right up to Caius, raise his arm, and sending it flying forward in a blur. Thunder cracked through all our ears as Emmett's fist and Caius' face made contact. When his hand retracted, we all saw a shocked face looking back at us, in the wall.

"Nice shot Ems" I ran up and hugged my brother. He got me back in a massive bear hug, swinging me around in the process. When he set me down I was bombarded by my family. Alice and Rosalie pulled me into a hug together with Alice squealing. As they let me go, Carlisle and Esme were next.

"It's good to see you okay Bella" Esme whispered to me. I smiled at both my parents. When I let them go, I saw Edward out the corner of my eye move slightly in an awkward manner. I turned to face him but he was looking at the Guards that were still against the wall. If only I could speak to him alone for a while, then maybe I can figure out who he was.

"Caius," Lucius cut into my thoughts, "Aro wishes to speak with you. You and the filth you call your Guards. Come" Lucius smiled at Caius and turned to wink at me. I silently thanked him to get a small nod. He walked out the door laughing with Caius and his Guards floating behind him. As he and the others left, I felt my shield slowly die away.

I turned back around to find that my family was standing a way away, leaving me and Edward together. I slowly walked up to him, taking in his scent along the way. Edward continued to look everywhere in the room but at me. I wondered why he wouldn't look at me. Was he ashamed of me? Did he hate me for saying I didn't remember him? Then I thought about his eyes. They were red, signs of a human drinker. Was he ashamed towards himself for giving in to the temptation that I had? Did he want to protect me that much? Why?

"Edward?" I called out to him when I was about two metres away. He flinched but other than that, didn't move a muscle. "Edward?" I called again. Same result, nothing but a flinch. When I reached him, I raised my hand out to his to get his attention. As our skin met, an electric shock flew threw my body making me jolt, letting his hand go in the process. He felt it too because now he was looking at me, eyes wide.

I held his gaze for some time without moving. Red and all, his eyes were still so beautiful. So breath-taking that I couldn't tear mine away for fear his would disappear. They shone in the different light. After a while, Edward smiled the most overwhelming crooked smile that caused my breathing to hitch in my throat. I was choking on air just looking at him, not even touching.

"How do I know you?" I whispered. Edward's features cringed a little but he still held that stunning smile of his on his face, eyes glistening. I reached my hand up hesitantly to his face. Edward tensed as I reached to touch his cheekbone. I held his gaze as my fingertips brushed lightly against his skin. His eyes turned pitch black and he growled while I gasped.

I was sitting down at school eating my lunch, someone was talking to me. I looked up and saw them for the first time, then Edward looked up and saw me.

The image changed and I walked into Biology. I walked up to the teacher that told me to sit down at the only free space, next to Edward. I walked over and sat down, noticing his hostile presence.

Now I was just getting into my car when tires screeched and a horn sounded. Next thing I knew I was on the ground with Edward kneeling protectively at me, one hand resting on the car door with a dent.

Next I was in the hospital with Carlisle talking to me. Edward ran off and I followed him, trying to ask him what was going on. He turned around and caught me off-guard, pulling me around the corner.

Then I was walking through a part of a town I didn't know. Two men were herding me to another two. As I began to walk faster, tires shrieked and a shiny Volvo showed from around the corner. It pulled up at the curb, Edward yelling at me to get in.

After that, me and Edward were sitting down across from each other in a restaurant. A waitress was staring intently at him, completely ignoring me. But Edward was staring intently at me, completely ignoring her.

Now I was in the car with Edward on my way home, asking him about who he was. I asked him if he was a vampire and he tensed not saying anything.

I'm home now, just realizing that 1) Edward was a vampire, 2) I was totally and irrevocably in love with him, and 3) there was something about me that attracted him to me.

I was sitting down on grass in the sun, looking for Edward. I caught sight of him behind the tree line. Then he stepped out into the sun and his skin instantly began to shine.

Then I was sitting down on the edge of the forest, my pick-up truck resting behind my back. I opened my eyes and Edward was there, right in my face. He took my face in his hands and I stopped breathing. Then Edward pressed his cold, marble lips very softly against mine.

Now we were in my bedroom. It was night out and I found out that Edward had been in my room every night watching me.

Edward just suggested that I go and meet his family. He then told me he loved me for the first time. We were walking down the stairs where he kissed me again, making me faint.

I had just met his family and now Edward was playing my lullaby on his piano. I started crying.

The image changed, yet again, and now the Cullen's and Edward were playing baseball in the clearing. But then James, Laurent and Victoria showed up.

Now I was lying crippled in pain in my old ballet studio. Edward came over to me and sucked the venom out of my hand, repeatedly telling me that he was sorry and that he loved me.

Next I was lying in my bed in the hospital with Edward pretending to be asleep while my mother talked to me.

Now I was at my family's mansion, opening a present when I sliced my finger, blood started to ooze out of the wound. Jasper attacked me but Edward managed his way in between and saved my life, again.

Now I was in the forest behind my house. Edward was looking at me with no more love. I believed him, accepting what he was saying. He pressed his lips against my forehead one last time, before sprinting off. I never saw him again.

I gasped.

"I-I… I remember. I remember every, everything…" Until now.

I think this is the chapter everybody has been waiting for so there you go!

Im sorry if her memories were in the wrong order; i couldn't find my book so i had to do it off by heart which took me a while.
