Okay! Here's chapter two of "Never Shall I Love Again". An anonymous review told me that it's "I shall never love again", and I thank you, Quotes, for telling me that. However, I purposely made it "Never shall I love again" because I don't want to take a lot of direct quotes from the movie. I only want to do it when necessary. But, now that I've addressed that, I think it's only fair I address the other reviews left for me.

thefiretree: I love the Princess Bride too, and I hope you enjoy this next chapter... provided you read it.

EnderACullen: Thank you and I'm honored that you think this is a great idea and that you think I'm doing well.

Okay, with that out of the way, it's time for chapter two: Kidnap, Choices, and Pain.

But Edward had no money for marriage, so he set out to America to gain a fortune. Bella did not want him to go, but knew it was for the best.

Bella clung to Edward, hugging him tightly. Edward held her just as tightly. "Will I ever see you again?" She asked in a whisper. Edward buried his face in her hair.

"Of course you will. No matter where you are, I will find you again," Edward told her as she let him go briefly. She met his gaze and he suddenly captured her lips with his. Edward held her waist tightly, pulling her against his chest as her fingers wove themselves into his hair, not wanting to let go... but they did. He parted that night, and Bella was alone.

Edward's ship did not make it to America, for it was attacked by the Dread Pirate Volturi. ((A/N: Okay, so I was going to make it the Dread Pirate Black, but I have something else in mind for Jacob and the Volturi would be better pirates. :) :P Okay, disappearing now!)) who never took survivors. Bella locked herself in her room, neither eating nor sleeping for four days. When she ventured from her room, she stoked the fire and knelt beside it.

Bella watched the fire dance higher and higher. She should have been able to feel the flame's warmth, but could not. "Never shall I love again," she vowed, watching the fire. How could she, when her true love rested on the ocean floor?

"That's so sad!" Ella exclaimed, holding a pillow to her chest. Grandpa looked at her; her vibrant green eyes were sad. "Edward didn't really die, did he?" She asked, and her raised an eyebrow at her.

"I'm not going to tell you," he said, looking at her. Ella pouted and he continued reading.

Years later, the King was getting older and closer to death. It finally came time for Prince Jacob to choose his bride; as was the law, he could pick any woman in the country for his bride. It was time for the announcement.

Once all the townspeople had gathered, the Prince came out. Prince Jacob was a strange character; he loved hunting and was very good at it. He had silky looking russet colored skin and slick black hair. His black eyes glittered as he watched the crowd gather. His clothing was scarlet and black, the leggings black with a vibrant scarlet shirt. His muscular arms raised and the crowd quieted.

"My people! The time has come for me to marry and I have chosen. A month from now, on the sundown of the kingdom's five hundredth anniversary, we will marry. She stands among you now. Do you want to meet her?" He asked and the crowd cheered. "I give you... Princess Isabella!" A door opened in the square and Bella stepped out. However, she was not the same Bella she had been. Although her physical appearance had not changed much, she had just gotten more beautiful, what she wore had. Instead of the simple farm clothes she once wore, she now was dressed in an extravagant cream dress. Her arms were covered completely by the billowing sleeves and a bit of fabric flowed out behind her. Her hair lay flat against the cream, standing out. But, it was her eyes that had changed the most. Brown eyes that were once deep and full of emotion had become dull and dead looking. As the people bowed before her, Bella looked around at them before switching her gaze to the Prince Jacob.

Bella had changed for the worse. Her pain and bitter emptiness drowned the once cheerful girl she had been. As the law gave the Prince the choice of his bride, but Bella could never love him. Regardless of his insistence that she would soon grow to love him, Bella made a point to spend much of her time riding.

Fall had come and as a result, Bella was dressed in a long red dress for warmth. She rode for a long time, trying to escape, yet she knew she could not. As she rode, she came across some people. The smallest was a woman with vibrant red hair. She acted very much like a cat and her gaze kept shifted around. The one of middle height had honey blond hair. He was muscular, but not so much as the man beside him. A sword was strapped to his waist and his hand was often seemed creeping to the hilt. The largest, in height and strength, was the last. He had dark curly hair and had bulging muscles.

"A word, my lady?" The woman asked, and Bella watched her suspiciously. "We are but poor lost circus performers. Is there a town nearby... a place where we can rest and preform for the townspeople?" Bella shook her head.

"I'm sorry. But, there's no town around here for miles," the princess replied apologetically, and the woman smirked.

"Then there will be no one to hear you scream," she said and the curly haired man came up and squeezed the back of her neck. Bella began to scream, but she was knocked unconscious.

Bella flickered in and out of consciousness, staying awake long enough to hear some friendly banter between the giant and the swordsman.

"Emmet, rhyming game?" One of them asked.

"Sure, Jasper. You start," The other replied in a deep voice, so Bella assumed he was the giant.

"Very well... the boat rocks with the extra weight."

"Moving enough to fill a plate."

"The sun shines with light from its face."

"Until the moon comes and takes its place."

"Stop rhyming!" A sweet, babyish voice commanded.

"Victoria, great timing!" The giant called, causing the swordsman to chuckle a little.

"Enough rhymes, I mean it!" The woman cried.

"Anybody want a peanut?"

"Arg!"

"Hey, Emmet, are there rocks ahead?"

"If there are, we'll all be dead!" The two men started laughing and Bella too cracked a smile at the lighthearted banter they share. However, soon she allowed herself to fall back into the darkness, dreaming of messy bronze hair and piercing emerald eyes.

It was night out when she awoke again. The moon was hanging in the sky, lighting the sea with its full glow. The honeyed haired man stood at the back of the ship, watching the way they had come. The red-haired woman sat across from Bella, lounging carelessly.

"We should reach the cliffs by dawn," Victoria said, rubbing her hands together before looking at the swordsman. "Why are you doing that?" She demanded, causing him to look back. His blue eyes seemed troubled almost.

"Are you sure nobody's following us?" he asked, his hand on his sword hilt again.

"That's inconceivable," she replied, spreading her arms before lacing her fingers behind her head. Bella, who was usually a very opinionated individual, remained silent instead choosing to hum the tune Ed- he would always play for her. The swordsman looked back.

"Stop doing that!" She commanded, pointing at him. "We can all relax. Soon it will be all over, Jasper." Jasper turned to look at Victoria. The giant, who Bella now knew to be Emmet, stayed silent, watching the battle between them.

"Are you sure nobody's following us?" He asked again, pushing some honey bangs out of his eyes.

"I told you that's inconceivable," Victoria snarled. "But, out of curiosity, why do you ask?"

"I just looked behind us and suddenly something was there."

"What?" Victoria got up and went to Jasper's side. Sure enough, there was a ship behind them. "It probably just a local fisherman... out for a cruise in eel-infested waters," she said, though she sounded worried. There was a sudden splash and Emmet spoke.

"The hostage is getting away." Victoria looked over the side and saw Bella swimming away. She glared at Jasper.

"What are you waiting for?! Go get her!" She shrieked, and Jasper shook his head, raising an eyebrow.

"I cannot swim." She turned her angry gaze to Emmet.

"I can only doggy-paddle," he said, motioning with his hands. Victoria growled and ran around the tiny ship.

"Right! Go right!" She shouted, her feral eyes on the swimming princess. A crying sound reached Bella's ears, causing her to stop swimming for a moment, treading water to keep her head above. The woman's eyes shown with wicked pleasure.

"Do you heat that, Highness? That is the sound the Shrieking Eels make before they feast on human flesh. If you return to the boat, you will not be harmed." A strange shape swam past her, and she let out a cry of fear, trying to move away. Another eel came up before her, its mouth wide open and ready to feast...

"She doesn't get eaten, you know." Ella jumped a little, looking at her grandfather.

"What?"

"Bella doesn't get eaten by the eels. You looked worried, and you're gripping your pillow extremely hard," he told her, and she let go of her pillow, which she was holding in a death grip.

"Oh...I wasn't worried!" She lied and her grandfather eyed her, but didn't say anything.

"We can stop now if you want, Ella," he said and she shook her head fiercely. Her brown hair flew before her green eyes and her grandfather smiled.

"Keep reading... if you want."

"Alright," he said, continuing.

The eel was about to attack her and then...

A giant hand came down and stuck the eel's maw, just as another hand gripped the back of her dress and hauled her into the boat. "Put her down! Just put her down!" The sweet voice of Victoria ordered and Bella was placed in the boat, water dripping from her soaking clothes. Victoria bound her hands together tightly with rope and Bella held in a wince. Jasper looked at her, pity appearing in his eyes as well as a sadness.

"I think he's getting closer," Jasper remarked, and Bella held her heart down; she would not hope, the last time she did... her heart died.

"He's no concern of ours! Keep steering the boat!" Victoria shouted and then she looked at Bella. The red-haired woman leered.

"I suppose you think you're brave now." Bella did not reply, choosing instead to close her eyes and sleep again. Her dreams were far more pleasant that her reality, filled with velvet voices, crooked smiles, soft beautiful lullabies and like always, emerald eyes being hidden partially by bronze hair.

Yay! I did it! Now, before you tell me a lot of the dialogue is the same as in the movie, I know and I wish I didn't have to resort to that, but I kinda had too. So, Jasper, Emmet, Victoria and Jacob appear. And yes, Alice and Rosalie will appear along with Carlisle and Esme. Next chapter, the Cliffs of Insanity, the man in black and a duel to the almost death!

Thanks for reading!
