I am SO sorry I haven't updated in days! I will definitely update more often than that.
Anyway, I do not own any of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight characters, etc.

I felt like a little kid again, waiting impatiently for something on its way. I would remain awake at night, thinking. I would constantly think about that one thing I wanted-whether it be a new toy from the store or that new coat that was coming out. Now, I impatiently waited for Edward to come, so I could leave here and find a way out, finally.
When was he coming?
I sat at the long table the next morning, my eyes tired, with purple lines underneath. I was eating for once after awhile; my stomach growled once I smelt food approaching.
I looked at the food set in the center of the table as some other soldiers started to eat. I reached my hand out to grab food, but Aro put his hand out to stop me.
"I don't think so," he said.
"Why?" I asked.
"I think my hair would explain it to you if it could speak."
"But I'm starving!"
He shrugged. "You can last a little bit longer, can you?"
Thinking of it, yes, I could last a bit longer. Edward was on his way, so I only had to deal with Aro being like this to me for that much longer.
"All right," I said, a strange amount of happiness in my voice. I stood. "I'll just go out to work, then."
Aro looked taken aback. "Um…okay?"
I walked out into the bright day. Although it was cold, I felt warmed by the sunlight shining down on me. I guessed this was why many people liked to hope for the best; so they could see the good things in life.
Seeing the people working held back the good mood I was in, though. Seeing them weep and almost fall over from exhaustion hurt me. I tried not to think too much; it would just make me begin to weep as well.
My mother was there, walking with another woman. I wanted to run over to her, give her a hug, and say: "Don't worry, Mom! Edward is coming to help us!" But…she didn't trust me anymore. Sure, she'd come with us to wherever it is we were to go, but she still wouldn't trust me as much as she used to. I was a different person in her eyes. Actually, I thought I was a different person now, too. Except, she thought I was a bad person. I wasn't sure what I thought of myself, but I knew I was different than before.

The train rolled down the tracks, making my head bump against the door, waking me up. I put a hand to my aching head and looked out the small window. Sunlight poured in where it could, and everyone slowly woke up. We were most likely almost at Auschwitz. Yesterday had been long and painful. Everyone standing in the train had been thrown around the train from all the bumps in the road, and I'd hit my head, helping me fall asleep. Or unconscious. Anyway, it hadn't been a great night.
The train came to an abrupt stop, and everyone jolted, standing up immediately. I rubbed my eyes and ran my hand through my messy hair. We all waited until the doors would slide open, revealing the camp I had once been a soldier at.

I tapped my foot, humming. I was trying to not think about Edward coming, but it wasn't working.
"Isabella." Aro's annoying voice called. I turned, and he was walking toward me, shorter hair and all. He was actually out of the main building, in the sunlight.
"Yes?" I asked, still finding his uneven haircut funny.
"The train just arrived. They're here. I need you to go and bring them to wherever they belong. Got it?"
The train was here?! "The train?" I asked, trying not to sound excited. "It's…here?"
"Yes…who cares? Just go." He turned away, walking down the dirt trail. I almost jumped in excitement. I went over to where the trains where, and scanned the crowd of people. Other soldiers, like Caius and Felix, were just throwing everyone off. Whenever I saw someone near me, I tried being as nice as possible to help them to where they needed to go.
Then, I saw him.
Standing in the crowd.
Alone.
Looking. For me.
I was on the verge of crying in joy as I ran closer to him, flinging my arms out for his embrace. He noticed me and also started coming over to me. I finally reached him and jumped into his arms, and he held me and spun me around.
"Edward," I said, wiping a tear away. "You're here!"
"Like I promised, Bella." He said in his velvet voice. He looked down at me, his eyes sparkling.
"What the-?! Hey, Aro-we have an unwanted visitor!"
We looked at each other in panic.
We were caught.
:O Sorry for the short chapter and the cliff, but I had to do it! Again, sorry for not updating in so long, but I'll try to update every day or every other day! Thanks!
