Me: All right all right. Let's see how this plays out because this might be the last chapter! Expect surprise, expect love, and expect angst!

Jasper: Anything else?

Me: -holds finger up as if to say something, opens mouth, then closes it- Nope.

Edward: Let's get on then shall we.

Disclaimer by Jacob: Hey! I'm not really in this story! What the hell gives? –grumbles- Anyway, she does not own Twilight. Nor me. Hah she wishes! –Jasper growls- Uhm...never mind.

Bella's POV

It was about 4 in the morning when he strolled into my room unannounced. My body was under the covers on the large bed; curled around Alexander to protect him. He was sleeping soundly, no crying not anything.

"Bella. All the vampires have assembled. Time for you to get dressed for the event." Marcus whispered, touching my arm.

I nodded to him as I felt tears falling down my face.

"Don't cry Bella. I'll look after Alexander. I promise." He lifted me up easily without disturbing Alexander.

I hugged him tightly.

"Thank you. You are…the best." I managed to get out.

He smiled and raced to the closet then back again. Only this time, he held a ruby dress in his arms.

"Change into that. The red shoes are by your bed, and here's a necklace." He said handing me the stuff.

I took the things and he was out of the room before I could say another word. I held up the dress in a mirror. It was a flowing blood red.

"How convenient." I muttered to myself.

After actually putting the dress on, I surveyed myself in the mirror. The dress came all the way down my legs, and I almost couldn't see my feet. The straps of the dress were wide and they came off my shoulders. It seemed fitting for someone of my nature. I sat on the bed next to Alexander and placed the shoes on my feet.

I pulled a chair over in front of the mirror, and began to work through my hair with the brush in the bathroom. Once it smooth and shiny, I set the brush down and stood up. Alexander had woken up and he was staring at me.

"Pretty!" He called.

I laughed and picked Alexander up. Someone knocked on my door and slammed it open.

"Well. It looks good on you. Come." Caius growled motioning for him to follow me. "It's time."

"Alexander. I want you to remember something. Edward Cullen. Grandpa Charlie. Vampires. Half-breeds. Forks, Washington. Can you do that for me?" I asked.

To my amazement, he nodded.

"Yes, Mama. I will for you." He said absolutely perfect.

I stood there in awe.

"Come on!"

Caius was getting impatient so I strode to the door with Alexander in my arms. I followed him down the hall, my heels clicking against the marble tile.

I saw the huge room before we even got in it. A wire fence encircled a huge pole in the middle of the room. There was a chair a few feet from the huge pole. Vampires were already surrounding the outside of the fence. I saw the Cullen family, but where was Edward?

"Vampires! I present Bella Swan and her half-breed son, Alexander!" Aro called clapping his hands together.

Caius grabbed me and opened the door to the wire fence. I heard murmuring all around me. Marcus appeared behind me and held out his hands. Up until that point, I didn't remember that I had Alexander in my arms.

"Please. Just…" I couldn't get anything out, so I just handed Alexander to Marcus.

Caius grabbed my arm and led me to the pole. He forced me to sit on my knees and tied my hands behind my back Pulling out a piece of cloth, he gagged me with it and tied it to the pole, forcing my head to rest against the wooden pole.

"This vampire has seemingly fallen in love with the mother of the half-breed! He shall have a front row seat to the burning. Bring out…Edward Cullen!" Aro called again.

I watched as two other vampires dragged Edward out, who was fighting them.

"Let. Me. Go." He said angrily.

However, his anger dissipated when he saw me.

"Bella!" He exclaimed, breaking away from the guards.

He ran towards me and kneeled by me.

"Bella. Bella. Bella." He whispered to me.

I gazed up at him with scared eyes. The guards came back and held Edward in the chair. I realized what Aro had planned. Edward was going to watch me burn just a few feet in front of me.

I struggled to undo the bindings that held me, but it was no use. I was trapped in this. I turned my head as much as I could without it hurting me. I saw Alexander gazing at me from Marcus' lap.

"Mama!" He wailed tears coming to his eyes.

"Alexander…," I mumbled softly.

My eyes began to leak their tears as I silently sobbed and waited for my burning death. I looked at all the vampires around me. They couldn't disobey the law. They couldn't disobey the Volturi.

"Bella! Fight Bella! For your life…for Alexander! For Charlie and Renee! Fight!" Edward pleaded of me.

I struggled and struggled as much as I could, but I couldn't break free. Eventually, I stopped struggling and rested my head against the pole that was to be my death. My arms went limp with exhaustion, and I closed my eyes tiredly. There was no way to get out.

Edward's POV

I struggled as much as I could trying to get away from the guards. It was no use. They held me steadfast against this chair as I watched Bella struggle.

"Bella! Fight Bella! For your life…for Alexander! For Charlie and Renee! Right!" I screamed at her.

I watched her struggle so much, but eventually I saw the fire of freedom dim in her eyes and I saw her stop struggling and slump against the pole.

"Fight Bella! I mean it damn it!" I yelled at her angrily.

She looked at me, her hair all in her face. The red dress they had her wear was dirty with the dust from the floor. Her hair was a mess and her shoes were off her feet. Looking at Alexander, he looked back at me and I saw in his mind.

Dada. She is doing this for me. For you.

I blinked, perfectly surprised. He could form whole sentences?

I turned my head towards Bella again, and I heard the gate open. Looking behind me, I could hear Aro's footsteps as he held a glowing torch in his hands. I glared at him angrily and all he did was smirk.

"Vampires! I thank you for attending this burning! I know there haven't been many, but this one is one we will feel the affect of for a long time!" Aro exclaimed.

He put the burning torch up to the top of the wooden pole and the fire made it's way down slowly.

"Bella! BELLA! I love you!" I yelled.

Her gag prevented her from saying anything, but in that one instant, as she was dying and burning, I could hear into her mind.

I love you too.

Me: I am really sorry for ending it like this.

Edward: NOOO!!!

Me: -sighs- Must I remind you that there is a sequel? So DON'T KILL ME! ALL WILL BE REVEALED IN THE SEQUEL!!!!

Bella: I'm dead…great.

Jasper: All reviewers will get a PM back. If you want to know the title of the sequel, ask her. By the way she cried writing this.

Me: SHUT UP JAZZY PANTS!
