BPOV-

I sat dazzled in my room, alone, focusing only on the fact that I was now engaged to Edward.

Why did I say yes to this?! Was it his kissing? His way to persuasive kissing….. I could only wait for what I wanted out of this.

Why the hell did I want it though? Sure, it's supposedly fabulous…. And I love Edward so much that I would be willing to give everything of me to him. But why did I ask for it?

I shook my head, staring at the engagement ring; Edward knew he should've taken back. What happens if Charlie walked through this door right now? It was so beautiful, just like Edward….

I realized suddenly, why I agreed to this little compromise. It all rounded back to Jacob. Damn Jacob. Sure I once had dreams of marrying Edward, but why today? Of all days? Was the world out to get me because I didn't go to my dead ex-fiancé's funeral?

A dwelling rose inside of me. How was I going to tell Charlie? I didn't have the guts to tell him I was dating Edward- even though I did it- but marriage was a total different thing.

I sighed, sliding off the ring and sliding it into my top drawer on my nightstand. I laid down on my silk bedspread, and closed my eyes. Maybe Edward and I should elope. That way I wouldn't have to face the embarrassment of walking down the isle. An accident prone person like me knows that being the center of attention doesn't help when you're clumsy.

Someone appeared before me again.

"Jacob, I thought I told you to leave me alone?!" I muttered, closing my eyes again and rubbing my temples. "I thought you weren't allowed to come back if I didn't want you to."

"But you did want me to…" He said quietly.

"When the hell did I say that?"

"In your sleep," He grinned. "Did you know you sleep talk?" He added conversationally.

"Great. Now I have two people watching me talk in my sleep," I groaned, picking up a pillow and tossing it at Jacob. "Go away, Jacob Black," I said.

"I can't," He smiled wider. "You said you wanted me here, well I'm here," Jake held out his arms wide to clarify the fact.

"In my sleep!" I complained, sitting up. "Aren't there rules that you have to be awake in order for it to be accurate or something?"

"Nope," He grinned. "So get used to me being here, I'm going to be here for awhile."

"I thought you said that you could only be here once a year."

"Oh, yeah, they changed that too. I can come whenever you're alone. I guess it works out though, huh?" The world really was out to get me.

"That's just perfect. It's just what I need, Jacob," I shook my head.

"So you're engaged?" He asked, hiding his anger.

"And you're going into my personal life? I thought you weren't allowed to do that either."

"You were alone with a ring. I think I can make the connections," Jake snapped.

"Why do you do this to me?" I asked, not really talking to him, but myself.

"I don't know," He whispered, then froze.

"Jake, what is it?" I asked, looking around. "Did something happen?"

"Hell yeah, something happened. You need to run, get out of here. A terrible tragedy happened today while you were gone; apparently they were looking for you and well, since you weren't there, they are coming here while everyone is at the reception."

"Who?" I asked, worried. "Why? What will happen?"

"I don't know their names. Some leech superior coven or something. I don't know why, though."

"You're supposed to know! You're my guardian ghost!" I cried, knowing it sounded stupid.

"No, Bella. I never was your guardian ghost. There's no such thing- not that anyone knows. It's a trick we've been using for centuries; quite a pity no one noticed. It's all in your head. Poor Alice thought she actually took a class on it, as well. It's lucky we have people in our group to alter memories."

"Jacob, what are you saying?" I asked confused.

"Oh, I'm not Jacob," Jacob who wasn't Jacob said.

"Who are you then?" I mouthed, the words not coming out. I knew I should probably run. But there was no use. Whoever this was, was going to find me anyways and ultimately hurt the ones I loved. It was best to get it over with now.

"I'm sorry, we haven't met. I'm Eliza. To bad we didn't get to know each other better. I guess that's what you get for hanging out with vampires," Suddenly Jacob transformed into a medium height girl with black hair and blood red eyes. "The Cullen's never did follow the rules…." She said and I blacked out.

EPOV-

"Edward!" Alice cried, as soon as I was in the door. I really hoped it wasn't some "compliment" on how I proposed on the worst day of all to do it. Everything about it wasn't how I anticipated it would be. And for Bella to want something like that of me when ultimately I could kill her? Alice's thought put me back on track. Something terrible has happened.

"What Alice? What happened?" I asked, fret overpowering me.

The Volturi…. Bella…… I saw her vision in my head.

"Alice why didn't you see this sooner?!" I yelled, about to dart out the door. Bella was dying, hurt, and I wasn't there to prevent it.

"They didn't want me to," She said aloud not bothering with speaking in her mind. "They have powers, Edward; powers I never even thought were possible…"

But if they had powers why didn't they block Alice out completely?

I got it. It was all sort of a plan and most of the Volturi were involved in it. Bella was now dying because of me. I broke the damn rules. Dammit. Dammit. Dammit. Dammit.

"I'll meet you there, Alice," I said, running out the door.

Everyone's out hunting- well except for Em and Rose, they're still on vacation.. We're all alone in this one.

Damn.

I heard Alice run out the door also, forgetting to close the door.

An atrocious thought came to my mind, as I raced to save Bella's life. What happened if it were too late for her to stay human? All the plans of earlier today disappeared. Like usual, things didn't happen as expected. And this was the most unexpected thing of them all.

*DRAMATIC MUSIC* so here's the climax (right?). Who would've thought the Volturi would be involved? If you did you get 5000000000000000 mega bonus points for reading my mind.

What do you think will happen next?

Any ideas?

Oh, and you know what's the worst of it all?

I won't be able to update for probably Friday- unless I'm lucky. So everyone will just have to suffer.

Don't blame me though! Blame the midterms I'm forced to take and study for.

I'm so evil it should be a crime…
