Getting to the Edward part soon!

-Page Break-

Bella is getting ready to leave. Her year with the Volturi was the best of her life. Bella felt at home in the castle. She met the love of her life, and got to spend endless amounts of time with him. Bella also created close bond with the 3 kings. Especially Aro, who came to be as a father to Bella, they all treated her as one of their own. Bella was excited that when she came back she would become one of them, and would get the chance of a lifetime to become immortal. Bella was sad she was leaving, but the promise of coming back and spending eternity here cheered her up instantly.

"Hello Beautiful," Alec said as he entered the room.

Bella turned around and smiled at him. She loved Alec, she never wanted to leave him, but he would come to be with her in Forks after he was done with his mission.

"When do you leave?" Bella asked.

"After I take you the airport we leave," Alec said pulling Bella close to him. "Don't worry my love after I'm done I'll be with you. It should only take a month or so. We won't be apart for long Bella. I promise."

"And if you get hurt?" Bella said with a worried tone.

"I won't, I'll come back to you with all my limbs attached," Alec said with a grin that made Bella's heart flutter.

"Promise?" Bella asked.

"I promise Love," Alec said as he kissed her passionately before they had to leave for the airport. "Are you nervous to go back?"

"No, I want to see my dad again," Bella said leaving out her anticipation of seeing Jacob, her former best friend.

"What about the boy?" Alec asked suspicious.

Bella laughed, "I'm excited to see him too, but not for the reasons you think. I love you Alec, never forget it."

"I love you too Bella," Alec said as he kissed Bella once more before they had to leave. Bella smiled as she pulled away, she truly loved him and she knew he felt the same.

"Are you ready to go?" Alec asked as he grabbed Bella's bags. Bella nodded, her bags were stuffed with new clothes Jane forced her to buy before she went back to Forks.

Alec held out his hand for Bella to hold, Bella grabbed his hand and held it tightly and walked down the stairs to the garage. Where she knew everyone would be waiting. As she walked in she saw everyone lined against Alec's car. Alec pushed through and put her bags in the trunk. Bella said goodbye to everyone one by one. Everyone said their goodbye. Bella reminded them all it wasn't going to be for a long time, and she would be back before they knew it. Alec started his car and helped Bella in as she waved goodbye to everyone.

Bella felt a hole in her heart, she felt as if she was losing a part of herself. She was going to miss everyone. Bella remembered how nice everyone had been when she was getting settled in. Jane was her sister, and her shopaholic friend. Felix and Demetri where her friends, they helped her prank everyone, they showed her how to fight and keep her balance. Then there were the brothers/kings. Caius was the one most human one, he enjoyed walking at human speed with Bella, talking about current human activities, and Bella enjoyed his company. Marcus was the intellectual one, he was her teacher, he taught her how to speak fluent Italian, and was her teacher on all her school subjects. Aro was her father figure. Aro told her right from wrong, spoke to her about lessons he learned in life, and he protected her. And then there was Alec, Her Alec, the love of her life. Bella would miss him most of all. He was her other half, her mate, and even though he would come be with her soon, Bella still felt the ache in her heart from having to be away from him.

"Bella are you okay? You've been staring out the window since we left the castle." Alec said calmly.

"Sorry, yes I'm fine I was just thinking," Bella said trying to focus on what's happening in the car.

"Bella it's only until you graduate, then you'll come back and turn and be with us forever," Alec said grabbing her hand and giving it a small squeeze.

"I know, but I can't help but feel a little sad. I mean this place has been my home, I feel safe her, I guess I'm just sad that I have to go back to Forks," Bella said in a whisper, knowing Alec would've heard her.

"Don't worry love, I'll be there soon and Jane will come too. You'll only have to be without us for a while. Don't look so sad, you get to go see your dad and the boy" Alec said with a smile. Bella laughed at the way he referred to Jacob.

"Why don't you use his name?" Bella said with a grin.

"Don't like it," Alec said casually. Bella laughed and dropped the subject; she was going to miss him.

"We're here love, your flight leaves in 30," Alec said as he got out of the car.

"Okay, let's go then," Bella said as she grabbed

Bella and Alec went through security and were waiting for the flight to board. Bella was anxious to see her father. It's been a year since they saw each other, Bella was a little sad that this would be her last year as a human. Bella knew they would hurt at first, but she knew they would continue to live their lives and would eventually learn to live without her. Bella took in a deep breath as the flight attendant announced her flight was boarding.

"I love you Bella, I'll be with you soon, I promise," Alec said as he kissed Bella's forehead.

"I love you too Alec," Bella said trying to contain her tears. Alec kissed Bella one last time before letting her go on the plane. Alec felt a pain in his chest; he was sure that if he had a beating heart it would break. Alec waited and saw Bella's plane take off. Whatever was left of his heart was falling apart.

On the plane Bella was hurting, she didn't contain her tears in any longer, she loved Alec, and it hurt her to have to be away from him. The only thing that kept her sane was that she knew that he would be with her again soon; she just had to be patient. Bella tired herself out from crying and went to sleep.
