Thank you for the reviews!

If I get 7-10 (from 7-10 different people) reviews before tomorrow, I will put a new chapter up tomorrow :)
If not, I would appreciate a review from everyone who can so I get motivated to continue the story. Thanks. =D (If I don't have motivation I usually get writer's block haha.)


Golden eyes I see
Stare into the stars above
Twisted fate shines
Her bronze cheeks flush
Absorbing every step
She reads her future graved in the light
Walking on a bleak path
Letting destiny lead her to doom
Oh, why must they shut?
The beaming gold has turn to blank
And blooming lips must fade
Immortal she is not
Lying in her bones
Golden eyes, golden eyes
With all fairness, farewell.

Edward POV:

I held Bella with protectiveness. I sensed strangeness in her, and I knew that there was something wrong. Jasper was using his powers to calm everyone down, as he was also protecting his thoughts by constantly repeating a lullaby tune in his head.

"I missed you." I said.

"Me too." She said, although I knew she didn't mean it. Why? She looked timid, uneasy. I wanted to comfort her, but I had a feeling that it would not help. The second her eyes met mine, they liquefied. There was a look of pain and regret mixed together in her warm, chocolate eyes. I took my finger and placed it on her soft but intricate lips. I breathed her sweet scent, and her rich, long, hair.

"Bella, love. What is wrong?" I asked carefully. I did not want to upset her even more. I played with her hair, and froze her tears with my fingers. Bella crossed her arms and looked at Jasper's direction.

"Jasper, I think it's best that you tell them." She sat on the floor and curled, moving back and forth.

Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, and Rosalie carefully stepped forward to listen.

"An unfortunate event occurred not too long ago." Jasper did not have the power to look at us. "Alice went to the Volturi, and due to her request, they killed her."

"What did you say?" Esme started breaking in hysterics. How? My daughter is gone. She will never be mine again. She will never be here. She lies somewhere else now.

I could not speak yet.

"My sister!" Rosalie screamed furiously, while her eyes turned glassy. I wish I could cry for you, Alice. I love you. Alice. Please, listen to me! I am desperate. Alice! Come back! She tried to convince herself that she was still there, listening from somewhere.

"Is… Is this true?" I heard Emmett say with disbelief. She was my damn sister! What happened?!

"This is the worst nightmare I could ever experience." Carlisle's eyes froze, and he collapsed on the ground. His thoughts were blank; he could not arrange himself.

All the thoughts and reactions confused my mind. I tried to compose myself, and I spoke.

"Why did she go?" I was shaking. This was the one situation where I could not compose myself. I have never felt so overwhelmed. Jasper's lullaby grew stronger and fiercer in his mind. He told himself in the back of his thoughts not to think about anything else. Bella looked away with guilt.

"Bella?" I asked. She did not reply. I reached my hand for hers. "Please? Can we talk?" She took my hand and hunched her shoulders, following me outside.

"Bella, why did this happen? Why is Jasper blocking his thoughts? Why do you look guilty of a crime? And why…" I choked it out. "Why was Alice murdered?"

She started tearing up, staining her white t-shirt.

"Darling, please explain this to me." I said with desperation in my voice.

"Edward." Her sweet voice was pained and distant as she spoke. "I've never meant to hurt you." She continued crying. "I don't know what has happened to me, Edward. You say you are a monster… But me…" she sniffed.

"What, what is it, Bella?"

"I… I've kissed Jasper. And I grew to like him as more than a friend." She turned her head completely away from me and shook uncontrollably.

I felt a tearing inside my body. There was a sharp object ripping me into shreds, making it impossible for me to live.

"Bella" I also shook. "I will be here for you. There is no other reason for me to live, and if you are happy, I will be too." Saying I would be happy was not what I meant, but if it helped Bella, I would say it. I wanted to tear Jasper's head off and crush it into the ground but I knew better. I would not be a monster in front of Bella.

"And Alice saw a vision of me and Jasper together." Bella continued, crying. "And she went to the Volturi, because she knew she had nothing if she didn't have Jasper." She burst into more crying.

"Shhh, my Bella." I hugged her tightly. "It's alright, love."

"No, it's not." She said weakly, her voice fading. Her eyes closed and I carried her in my arms. From the outside window, I saw Jasper looking at us. His eyes were flaming more than ever.

Jasper POV:

The next few days have been very difficult to handle; losing a loved one and falling in love. Today was Alice's funeral. Even though we did not have her body, we still honored her. It was just amongst the six of us and Bella. Bella insisted that she wanted to come. Everyone already knew what happened between Bella and I. Esme tried to look compassionate, although I could read all the emotions of blame underneath her façade. Edward did not say a word to me, and neither did Emmett. Carlisle told me what I did was wrong, but he said he could not completely blame me. The person who was the most understanding, surprisingly, was Rosalie. She would be there to comfort me, and she told me what I did was not my fault. Edward still met Bella, but I knew things had changed. They were figuring their relationship out. More hatred towards Edward grew within me whenever he touched Bella's delicate cheeks, or her smooth hair. We all wore black to honor Alice, and we stepped to the front yard, where our funeral would be held.

All of us stood still as we saw a stone grave with words bold against it:

ALICE CULLEN
1990-2008

We did not specify with details, or her birth-date from her vampire life. If anyone walked by, they would be suspicious.

I saw pained faces next to me. Then, I saw a red truck pull up in the garage. I could not prevent myself from staring at the angel in front of me. Bella was dressed in a black dress, revealing her pale arms. Every step she took towards us was another heartbeat that was growing louder. Her heart was the most beautiful voice I have ever heard in my eternal life. I could feel her mood; she was anxious. I immediately calmed her down, and she nodded her head at everyone and went to stand next to Edward. I could see her eyes slightly moving to look at me, and when I looked back, she quickly moved her eyes back.

"Today." Carlisle stood in front of the grave. "We are here to honor Alice." I saw the golden vampires eyes, each pair of eyes wanting to burst into tears, even mine, except Edward's. Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, and Emmett, and I said our speech about Alice. Bella also said a few words, but it was hard to hear her; she was tearing up. Now it was Edward's turn. He never shared what he felt about Alice's death, so we did not expect much.

"I wrote a poem for my sister." Edward swallowed. "For the girl which I felt was related to me by blood." He sighed and began.

"Memories, arguments, good times and bad

You were there to support us

When times were unpleasant, it was your cheerful smile

That got me through what seems like a very long time

I've loved you, sister

It hurts to know that everyday will be spent without your presence

Because you were my best friend

And I will never forget you for that

These last few days I have been convincing myself it is just a nightmare

But we all know that it is impossible

I hope there is another life for you out there." He had to stop in the middle, and he put his hand on top of his eyes. He wanted to cry; I felt it. I felt like a horrid beast because I did not feel bad for him. I have grown to keep my distance form Edward; he held my life in his hand. Bella cried after he finished his poem, and she hugged him.

After the funeral was over, I saw Bella standing there, holding Edward's hand. She looked uneasy, and looked around until she met my eyes. Although they were still wet, I could see the richness and depth in them. Everyone went inside the house, but Bella told Edward that she wanted to stay behind. Edward shot a look at me as he went inside with everyone.

I ran to reach Bella, held her hair, and lifted her from the ground as I kissed her with as much force as I could.

"I love you, hun." I put her hair behind her ears and she bit her lower lip, but then said

"I love you too, Jasper. I really do." I knew we had to get away outta here right now.


Please review if you can. I really appreciate each and every review!
