A/N: I know you all want the chapters longer, so this one is longer. Happy now? lol.

But seriously, read and review and i'm sorry if this chapter or any other chapter depresses you.

Bella's POV

I entered the throne room that was all too familiar to me. The last time I had been in there, my parents were the ones on the thrones and I was begging not to be forced into marriage. But times have changed...

Now, Jacob was the one who sat on the throne and now, I might have to beg for both my life and for Edward's. Jacob sat where father once had. I realized then that my parents would have to be dead. My parents; Gone. And the last time I saw them I probably had broken their hearts...

"Sir Edward." Jacob stated. He sneered the 'Sir' part as though it was painful to say. "You are charged with adultery and kidnapping a princess. Your punishment for adultery-" I stopped him

"Jacob no! It wasn't kidnap! It was all my idea and all my fault!" I tried to yell, but my voice cracked after every word; I just didn't want Edward to be punished alone. If it was anyone's fault it was mine.

"Bella, no." Edward whispered so only I could hear as he lightly tapped my shoulder. "I accept these charges. And take the punishment willingly." Speaking out now.

What was he doing?

Edward's POV

"Bella, no." I whispered to her. I touched her on the shoulder gently. I didn't want Bella to be punished; I loved her too much to see her put through any kind of punishment or pain... I would take her pain for her. "I accept these charges. And take the punishment willingly." I looked straight ahead into Jacob's eyes; You never show your enemy fear. That much I had learned from my experiences in the army; The moment you showed fear, they could take that and use it against you. And we couldn't give Jacob anymore tools or weapons against Bella and I.

"I know you will." Jacob glared as he spoke harshly to me. I glared right back. "Your punishment for adultery and kidnap-death." he spoke the words unfeelingly and cold. I shut my eyes and took a deep breath; I had seen it coming. I had seen it coming as soon as he had found us. I just didn't expect to come so quickly...

I glanced towards Bella; Her shoulders shook as she cried. My heart sunk; I hurt me to see the one I loved in pain...and to know that I caused it hurt more.

"Take him away to the dungeons; His execution will be tomorrow..."

Bella's POV

As tears rolled down my cheeks, I looked longingly to Edward as they led him away. Towards his death; Away from me.

"And what about me Jake? I commited adultery too. If he dies, so do I." my voice was shaky as I glared at the man who had in one instant ruined my life.

"A princess," he walked towards me. "cannot be charged with adultery. Or any crime for that matter." he lifted my hands and unlocked them from the chains. I snatched them away from him and pushed his away.

"Then what will become of me?" I asked frightened. But I already knew the answer.

"What your parents had planned all along; You'll marry me." he spoke indifferently, as though this were no big matter. I shook my head furiously.

"No! I will never marry you." I back away, furious now. "I would rather die than-" I stopped, catching myself in a harsh (but true) statement. I looked in Jacob's eyes and for a moment I swore I saw the old Jake I knew and had once loved.

I saw the little 15 going 40 year old boy; My younger brother and at times my best friend. I saw the sweeter, kinder side. But I also saw the pain my words had caused.

"No. Being seperated from him," he walked toward me and grabbed my wrist, but not hard or violently. "will be your punishment." He walked back to his throne. "Until our wedding and until you learn to appreciate the punishment you're not being given, you'll stay in the dungeons."

And I was led out of throne room by two guards. I didn't cry this time, for I had run out of tears. I just hung my head and turned away into the darkness. This was all over; My happiness, the life of my true love- all of it had ended in one single moment.

A/N: Intense. New chapter up soon. Review and it'll be up sooner. I'm writing it now so...reviews might make me write and post it faster!
