Chapter Eleven


Standing in the shadows with his father, two brothers and Charlie, Edward glared at the passing humans. The sun was dipping down and as the darkness grew the humans of Traverse Town began to disperse. They were beginning to board up and barricade their shops, homes, etc.

He couldn't help but glare jealously at a young couple as they dashed right by him. Just before they ducked through the large door that lead to the first district, they shared a kiss. Their heads were filled with thoughts of love and lust. But lingering behind the love and the lust, there was also fear. Fear of the ever growing shadows and darkness as the sun began to set. Edward turned away from them, unable to look at them any longer.

The last month had been torture. It had been four weeks since his arrival in this town. And he had seen no sign of Bella. Nor his sister, Rosalie. Just a few days ago a gummy ship pilot by the name of Cid had arrived back from delivering his goods to various routes. The blonde old man had been the one to transport Rosalie and Bella off planet. It had taken the combined strengths of his father and two brothers to keep him from strangling the human man.

Alice and Esme had both stood back with Charlie, which surprised him the most. His sister and mother he, could certainly understand. They were not exactly creatures of violence, even if they were vampires. Alice only resorted to violence when the situation called for it. His mother Esme on the other hand, she abhorred violence. Charlie standing back with them with a sour look upon his face had enraged him.

"Why are you just standing there?" he had yelled out at the human man when his father and brothers had dragged him back to the safe house in the 3rd district. "That was the man that had gotten Bella off of this planet and away from you! Your daughter, Charlie! The least you could have done was pop him in the mouth! But you just stood there like a useless lump -"

Before either Carlisle or Esme could reprimand him for his lack of respect, Charlie had stood from his kitchen table seat and towered over his slightly shorter stature.

"Now stop right there, son!" Charlie had all but yelled back at him, his anger spurred upward by Edward's words. "Just 'cause you're a vampire whose seen more years than me by more than half a century, don't mean that I'm going to let you talk down to me like this! Don't you think for a moment that I didn't want to beat that bastard to a pulp! But I can't exactly fault him for what he did."

Edward had given Charlie an incredulous look. He had opened his mouth once more to plead his case on why the blond haired gummy ship pilot should have been stoned to death, when Charlie raised a hand. He had closed his mouth almost begrudgingly to let the human man speak on.

"Hear me out, all of you," Charlie had pleaded to the vampires present.

Edward supposed that Charlie could sense on some kind of level that the rest of them had wanted to know why as well. He could most certainly tell that his brothers at least had wanted to know from their puzzled thoughts.

"This is Bella we're talking about," Charlie had said softly with a grimace. "Now, I know her mother and I gave her the middle name Marie… But after eighteen years I can safely say that it's actually 'stubborn'. 'Headstrong', even."

The bronze haired vampire had let his head drop forward until his chin touched his chest. He felt the soft and gentle hand of his mother on his shoulder before he fell back into a kitchen seat. Defeat. He felt defeat seeping into his heart. And he understood.

"Your right," Edward had said weakly. "We wouldn't - He, Cid couldn't have been able to stop her even if he wanted to, save for physically dragging her back to the safe house. Which he should have."

"But how could he have, bro?"

They all turned, surprised to hear Emmett's voice. With his beloved Rosalie gone, he had not been the same. He was much more subdued, only occasionally cracking a joke here or there. His face, which had always had a goofy grin, was somber and serious. Edward had only seen that look elsewhere. On himself.

"He didn't know who Bella and Rose were," Emmett had said quietly. "Or the why of it. Just that they wanted to go see some old dude; some master or something. And anyway, Rosalie was with her…"

He smiled wryly, almost wistfully down at his shoes. Edward frowned. How could he have acted so selfishly this entire time? He had been thinking non-stop about Bella that he had forgotten completely that his sister was also missing. Emmett's voice was soft and tender as he spoke of his wife.

"I don't think anyone, vampire and most certainly not human, could be able to strong arm Rosie out of doing something she wants to do. Shit, I know I can't."

A large hand landed on his shoulder and Edward snapped out of his thoughts. He was back in the shadows with his two brothers, father and Charlie. Coincidently, it was Emmett's hand on his shoulder. Edward allowed a small up turn of the corner of his mouth.

"The sun is just about gone," Emmett murmured to him.

Edward hummed in agreement.

"You're thinking pretty deep there, bro," his taller, burlier brother commented, returning Edward's slight smile.

Edward sighed and ran a hand through his already messy bronze hair. He nodded to his brother while simultaneously keeping an eye on the darkening sky. The sun had already disappeared behind the Traverse Town buildings, which weren't even that tall.

"You can't exactly blame me though, can you?"

"Definitely not," Emmett replied, his slight smile turning into his familiar dimpled grin, and Edward was reminded of how much he missed it.

Not only had they had to deal with the situation of Bella and Rosalie running off, but also many other minor , but still important, details. Such as Bella's new fangled sword, and the sudden disappearance of their lust for human blood. In that moment as the thought passed through his head, Edward took the time to look toward his blonde haired brother.

Jasper stood tall next to their even blonder father. While his arms were crossed over his chest and his face was devoid of emotion, Edward could tell from Jasper's thoughts that the blonde haired vampire was calm, cool and collected. Without the added burden of the blood lust and the burning in their throats, Jasper was feeling absolutely wonderful. Of course he still had the regular emotions to deal with, but without the bloodlust his control on his powers and the control on his own body was much easier to deal with.

Edward caught Jasper's eye, and the Southern vampire couldn't help but wink over to his bronze haired brother. Not even a human heartbeat later, an elderly human woman came walking as quickly as she could out of the first district door. She had a long cloak draped over and around her, a shawl partially covering her hair. A mighty gust of wind blew the shawl off of her head and to the floor. Before the woman could even begin to bend down to retrieve it from the floor, Jasper was by her side, handing it to her.

If there were any opportunities to interact with any humans, Jasper was the first one to step forward with his Southern charm and manners. He could often be seen in Charlie's company. Those two were as thick as thieves. In fact, the whole family had gotten considerably close to Charlie.

"Here ya go, ma'am…," Jasper began to drawl out, until he got a look at her face. "Erg.."

The old woman smiled at him, her teeth an ugly greenish yellow. There were a few warts on her face, and her eyes were as black as beetles. Edward and Carlisle froze while both Charlie and Emmett sucked in a breath. Similar grimaces appeared on both Charlie and Emmett's face as they looked on. There was no kind way to put it. The old woman was simply dumpster fire ugly.

"Oh," she crooned to Jasper with a flutter of her crusted eyelashes. Her voice was reminiscent of finger nails on a black board. "What a gentleman! I do love my men with manners!"

If it was possible for a vampire, and it seemed so, Jasper was turning green as the woman began to lean toward him, her scaly and chapped lips puckered. Edward could hear the frantic prayers coming from his blonde haired brother's thoughts.

'Oh God! Oh God NO!'

And then there was the very similar, yet gagging thoughts that were coming from both Charlie and Emmett. His father, who was now beginning to show a grimace, shook his head so fast that no human would have been able to catch it.

'Take it like a man, son,' Carlisle thought with a wince.

They all turned away from the gruesome scene as the old woman's lip brushed Jasper's marble hard cheek. While Charlie couldn't exactly hear the old woman's dried skin scrape against the marble like skin that was Jasper's face, the rest of them could. It was an odd sound, like a bristly scrub brush that was scraping against a floor.

'Oh, pooh… My poor baby. I was too late. Oh well, he'll get over it.'

Edward blinked and then turned to look down at his left. His younger sister Alice stood beside him with a small grin upon her face. Contrary to her thoughts, she didn't look too sad about what had happened to her husband. He narrowed his eyes as he inspected her facial features. It sure as hell looked as if she was holding back a snigger as they all watched the old woman hobble away from a frozen and horrified Jasper.

He shook his head at her and rolled his eyes, a teasing smile beginning to form on his lips. "You didn't warn him on purpose."

Alice glanced at him, biting her bottom lip between her teeth.

"Why?" he asked. "I would think this would be something you would want to spare Jasper from. I mean look at him."

They both turned their gazes back to Jasper. The blonde haired vampire's feature were molded into mortification as he skulked back to their sides. He looked slightly traumatized, to say the least. The corner of Edward's mouth twitched as he held in the snicker that was trying to fight it's way out. He chanced a glance at his beloved younger sister. Alice was covering her mouth with both of her hands, trying to keep her laughter in.

I thought maybe you needed something to cheer you up. Something to get you laughing. Alice thought to him, giving him a sweet smile. Edward returned it and he sorely wished that she could feel all the sibling love that he was throwing her way. Unfortunately no, the empathic powers belonged to her husband. She winked a golden eye at him before skipping away to her beloved Jasper.

"Oh, my poor baby!" she cooed as she wrapped her small arms around his neck, successfully bringing his head onto her shoulder. "Are you alright?"

Jasper breathed in her scent and wrapped his arms around her waist. "I am now that you're here."

And she was right. For that short moment, Edward's thoughts were on his family. He watched as Jasper and Alice whispered sweet nothings to each other, holding each other lovingly. Emmett, Carlisle and Charlie stood side by side near the water fountain that was nearest to the 1st District door. They talked softly to each other, their shoulders shaking when something remotely snicker worthy was said. Edward was delighted to see a spark of life in his brother Emmett's eyes as he threw back his head and let out a thunderous guffaw that echoed throughout the 2nd District square.

As total darkness over took Traverse Town, the many lamps and candles lit on automatically. The florescent signs over the many businesses in the 2nd district lit up in their many different colors. Edward's attention immediately turned to the two water fountains that lit beautifully.

"They're beautiful, aren't they?"

Edward tensed and turned his surprised attention to the person who was now standing at his side. Leon was the last person that any of the other vampires would find themselves talking to. Jasper couldn't stand the tortured and melancholy emotions that radiated from the man. Emmett, even in his temporarily depressed demeanor, was still too immature to even be in the human's presence. Esme felt slightly uncomfortable in the man's presence after what had happened on the first day she had arrived in Traverse Town. To Charlie, Leon had only had one or two conversations over the last few weeks. But he was human. It was quite possible that that detail was the only reason Leon spoke to Charlie.

Only Carlisle and Edward (out of all the vampires) were able to hold semi normal conversations that were anything besides , "hello, how are you?", "nice weather we're having huh?", and even (this from the immature man-pire Emmett, which was the first and last time Leon had spoken to him) "dude, did you just fart?"

"Yes," Edward answered quietly, turning his gaze back to the fountains. "It's very beautiful."

"In the daylight," Leon murmured. "This world sometimes reminds me of my home world… Before it was ravaged by heartless."

Through the man's memories Edward caught a glimpse of immense water fountains galore. The roads and walks were cobble stoned grey and there were countless flowered courtyards. The architecture of the homes and businesses were old, yet they fit in their own unique way. The people were kind and dressed unusual, but there was no doubt about Leon's memories of his home world. It was a beautiful place.

But just as sudden as Edward caught the glimpse, it was gone and replaced. Replaced by darkened and stormy skies. People were running to and fro, frightened expressions on their faces as literally hundreds upon hundreds of heartless swarmed into the city.

Edward's face screwed up as he watched the memories play out. There was an enormous and enchanting looking castle in the middle of the vast city that took the penny haired vampire's breath away. It was just simply breath taking. He recognized the faces of Yuffie, Aerith, Cloud and Merlin. Merlin looked very much the same as he did now, but Yuffie, Aerith and Cloud looked younger. They were scared, but determined as they fought off the heartless with their different weapons, Aerith healing them at times when they grew fatigued. They looked so different, so young.

The vampire turned to the human then. "Leon?"

Leon glanced at Edward with just an upturn of his eyebrow.

"How long have you been in Traverse Town?" Edward asked, interested.

"Years," Leon answered with a sigh. "We've been here for years, waiting for some kind of notice from our home world."

Almost immediately as Edward heard this, his heart sank. If Leon had been here in Traverse Town waiting for news from his home world for years…. Then what was the likely hood that the Cullen Clan and friends would be able to go back to their own world anytime soon. This whole time they had been subconsciously fooling themselves into thinking that everything would be okay and that they would be back on their planet in no time. But who was to say that their planet hadn't been swallowed completely by heartless and faded away into the darkness.

And in reality, how many other people had survived the attack from Forks, WA? Who was to say that Mike Newton and Jessica Stanley had not survived. Or even some of the Quileute tribe. For all they knew they could have survived and were presently sheltered on other worlds.

"Which reminds me as to why I am even speaking to you in the first place," Leon said with some bite in his voice, interrupting Edward's deep thoughts. "As I said, we have been waiting for some kind of notice from our home world for many years now. While Cid was on his normal delivery routes, he decided to take a little detour to see if our world was still in existence.

"And that is an affirmative."

Edward took an unneeded gasp of breath at the news. The news had been so quick that even he had been unable to pick it out of the human's thoughts. He turned and watched as Leon took his time with continuing on with whatever else he wanted to say. Edward grinded his teeth in the suspense of it all.

Finally, Leon continued, though he was much more somber. "Granted, that our once beautiful world is now a shadow of itself… It is now called Hollow Bastion. Or so Cid has said."

The vampire could not help the grimace that appeared on his face when he mouthed the name of Leon's home world. Hollow Bastion was not a good name, and it was certainly not a name that he would label the world that he had glimpsed in Leon memories. Edward didn't think he wanted to know what had became of Leon's beautiful home world if it's name was now Hollow Bastion.

As if he were the mind reader and not the vampire in his presence, Leon sighed. "My home world was once called Radiant Garden."

Now that was a name that fit perfectly to the beautiful memories Edward had glimpsed.

"We, and I mean Aerith, Yuffie, Cloud, Cid and I," Leon said quickly, "have gathered in Merlin's hut for a meeting. We discussed whether we should return to our old home world or not."

"Then what does that have to do with me?" Edward asked, now even more confused.

With a gentle nudge with his mind reading abilities, it all became clear. Though, since none of the humans besides Charlie knew of his mind reading abilities, he allowed Leon to say it to him.

"Not just you," said Leon as he looked out into the square. "Your whole family… And Charlie."

In front of them, as the sky turned dark and the stars began to twinkle down at them, the heartless began to appear. The black little monsters with bulbous eyes appeared out of the cobble stone. Edward watched calmly, but with wary eyes as the heartless slinked around. Emmett, Jasper and Charlie were right on them in an instant. Alice stood by with Carlisle. They watched the three males work efficiently and quickly.

"The girls have persuaded me into asking you all for them," grumbled Leon. "We would like to know whether or not you and your family would like to accompany us. You can get back to Aerith with an answer later. We don't plan to leave for a couple weeks yet."

Edward turned fully to Leon with a nod. "That is very kind of you all to ask. But I must give this information to my family patriarch."

"That is to be expected," Leon nodded before he walked away from Edward.

Edward sighed as he watched the man walk away. This was a kind and considerate offer. But it was an offer that the whole family and Charlie would have to debate on. And there was already no doubt in Edward's mind what the answer to this offer would be.

It would be a resounding no. From each and every one of them.

It was important for them to remain on the world known as Traverse Town. They would all remain on Traverse Town and wait for Bella and Rosalie to return.

Edward took this time to raise his eyes to the sky. He wondered where Bella and Rosalie were and if they were thinking of the family, and he watched as the millions of stars twinkled down at him. One particular star caught his eye. It was winking rapidly and gave one bright sparkle, before it disappeared altogether.

He desperately hoped that neither Bella nor Rosalie had been on that world.

-8-8-8-8-8-8-

"Again!" Master Yen Sid shouted.

Bella groaned as she pushed her bruised body up from the floor. Rosalie stood with ease and a snarl to the heartless Master Yen Sid had released onto them. In one hand she clutched a two foot long wizard's staff that had been given to her by Yen Sid. The wood of the staff was a red so dark it was almost black. Dressed in new clothes magically tailored for them by the three good fairy godmothers Fauna, Flora and Merryweather; they had been training for the past month with Yen Sid.

After hours of vigorous training everyday, Bella ached in places she never knew she could ache in. She couldn't help but give a glare to Rosalie's well dressed back. The way the three good fairy godmothers had dressed Rosalie was actually phenomenal, but Bella wasn't mad about that!

You see, while she was a human who was capable of feeling the aches and pains that all this training was causing her, Rosalie was a vampire. Rosalie's energy was never-ending, and she was learning at a faster pace, thus the hours of her training grew shorter and shorter until Master Yen Sid only required her to train just two hours a day. Bella on the other had was training six hours a day. All she did for six hours straight was battle a never ending barrage of heartless.

"Firaga!" Rosalie snarled out, setting a couple of ground heartless on fire.

Master Yen Sid suddenly barked out, "Rosalie, you're done!"

Rosalie was immediately at the old man's side, bowing at the waist. Over the last few weeks she and Bella had really embraced Yen Sid as their true teacher, a Master. Their Master.

"Thank you, Master!" Rosalie said before she blurred out of the room.

Bella had no doubt that the blonde vampire would be perusing Master Yen Sid's magical library. Rosalie was now incredibly adept with her staff. Where once all the training that Master Yen Sid had given would take years for one apprentice, it had taken only a month for Rosalie with her vampire mind.

"Do not remain idle, Isabella!" said Master Yen Sid strongly, snapping Bella out of her thoughts. "Remain aware, always! Use your key blade

With her key blade, Bella struck out at the heartless nearest her. Her sharp blade cut through them neatly, decapitating the one closer to her level. They erupted into a black mist and evaporated away. Her muscles ached and there was a pain in her ankle from a previous fall. Sweat dripped down her brow and to the floor as she lunged forward to meet the next barrage of heartless, but she stopped abruptly when Master Yen Sid's voice rang out in the training room.

"Enough!"

The heartless disappeared at the sound of Yen Sid's voice. Bella lowered her sword, gladly. It disappeared in a flurry of sparks and Bella placed her hands onto her knees, her head bent as she tried to catch her breath.

"You have done well, Isabella," Master Yen Sid's voice bounced off of the stoned walls of the room. "You've shown great progress in your abilities to wield the key blade."

Bella stood straight with a grin. She then bowed at the waist in the same way that Rosalie did, pleased at the praise. When she stood straight once again, he waved a hand at her, beckoning. She followed after him as he began to walk out of the room and into the very room that she and Rosalie had met him in. he sat himself in the chair behind the table, which held various books on different topics.

Seconds later Rosalie walked into the room with a large tome opened in her hands. With just a glance at both Bella and Master Yen Sid she snapped the tome shut and set it onto the table.

"You have both progressed much faster than any other apprentice," Master Yen Sid said to them as Rosalie took her place beside Bella. "I am very satisfied with the abilities you both have learned… and I have nothing else to teach you two in the realm of self defense and combat."

Both Rosalie and Bella looked astonished. They were astonished, yet relieved that their training from Master Yen Sid was over. But what would they do now? During this whole month, Bella had not heard a word from Nia Purinsesu in quite some time. Was there possibly a way for Bella to get in touch with her?

"I am very proud to inform you both that your training has ended," Master Yen Sid suddenly said with a satisfied and proud look upon his face. "Your studying however, has only just begun."

"What do you mean, Master?" Rosalie asked immediately.

She was wondering what else she would need to cram into her vampire mind. Rosalie had already read through more than fifty books about magic and how to manipulate it to it's fullest. What else was there to possibly learn? For the past month, Bella had been breathing in every little bit she could about her key blade. What else was there for the little human to learn?

"That is currently not at the fore front at the moment, Rosalie," Master Yen Sid said abruptly as he stood. "Follow me."

With a wave of a hand, the star shaped window elongated to the floor. It created a door that would easily allow them to walk through one at a time. Rosalie and Bella watched with wide eyes as a glowing platform beyond the door formed out. At the end of the platform was a large gummy ship.

"This," Master Yen Sid said to them as he walked out the door and onto the platform. "Gummy ship is called Highwind. I am placing this vessel into your capable hands."

Both Rosalie and Bella gasped in delight.

"Thank you," Bella gushed, her eyes bulbous as she took in the Highwind with new light. The brown haired girl couldn't believe that they were just gifted a space ship. A space ship for crying out loud!

"Master Yen Sid, you really shouldn't ha - mmff!"

Bella's words were immediately muffled by the marble hard and ice burg cold hand of her female vampire companion. They exchanged glares for a few seconds, until Rosalie abruptly pulled her hand away from Bella. She flashed a beautiful closed mouth smile to the old master.

"Thank you so very, Master!" Rosalie then began to say happily. "Don't mind Bella. She's thankful too. She just has a hard time excepting gifts of any shape or value."

Rolling her eyes, Bella grumbled curses under her breath before she directed a question to Master Yen Sid.

"When will we be leaving for our journey?" she asked. "Tomorrow morning?"

"Now."

They both turned to Master Yen Sid in surprise.

"You should both return whence you came," said the master. "You should both see your family. And you should both read through the book that I have placed in the ship. That is the material that you will be studying. The information in that book will help you greatly for when you encounter your enemies."

"Don't worry, Master," Rosalie said with a devilish smile. "We'll be able to take all those heartless bastards."

Bella grinned. "Heck yeah."

"Tread carefully, young apprentices," Master Yen Sid said with a frown upon his face, "for there are many other threats out in the universe besides heartless."

Rosalie and Bella gave each other thoughtful glances before they nodded in Master Yen Sid's direction.

"And on the way to your family you should both think through what exactly your journey is."

They turned away from the old Master to look at each other, both confused yet understanding. Master Yen Sid was right. What is their journey exactly? Was it really a journey, per say? Or was it more a quest. Where was their journey or quest to? Where did it start? Where would it end, if It would end at all? Would it lead to their demise? There were so many questions to asked amongst themselves and just as many to be answered.

After a short farewell to Master Yen Sid and the three good fairy godmothers (Fauna, Flora and Merryweather) they took off in their new gummy ship. Their destination was for Traverse Town. The ship was much roomier than Cid's ship had been, with more rooms, bathrooms and a larger kitchen. Rosalie ran her pale hand over the cock pit steering wheel with a glint in her eyes. There was no doubt that Rosalie considered herself a connoisseur of all mechanical vehicles, and with a quick memorization of the gummy ship handbook she was steering it like a pro.

Both Rosalie and Bella watched on a monitor as Master Yen Sid's tower shrank as they flew away. It grew smaller and smaller until they could no longer see it in all the black space.

"What are we going to do?" Bella asked out loud, voicing her worried thoughts. "How are we going to go about this?"

Rosalie sighed. She was almost wishing for that damn annoying no-it-all voice to come popping back into their mind again. Almost.

"Well," she began, running a hand through her loose blonde hair. "We'll do what Master Yen Sid said to do. We'll go back to Traverse Town and see everyone. My mom, Jasper and your dad. We'll just tell them what we plan to do and take off after that, I suppose. We'll simply have to find my Emmett, father, Alice and Dork-ward."

Nodding, Bella couldn't help her eye from flinching at the sound of Edward's name. Irritation bubbled up in her stomach. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't school herself into not reacting at the simplest mention of Edward's name. After all, no matter what he had said and done to her, Bella couldn't stop loving him.

"That sounds like a good plan," Bella said with a firmness in her voice. "We'll look for the rest of the family. How long until we get to Traverse Town?"

After careful studying of all the cockpit gages, Rosalie grinned. "We should get there in a day if we keep to our full speed. I have no idea why that old buffoon Cid didn't go full speed in his gummy ship! It would have saved us a lot of -"

Rosalie's words were suddenly interrupted. Lights on gages began to light up in a bright red, flashing in their eyes. A loud siren coming from various speakers sounded off like a tornado siren.

Covering her ears, Bella looked frantically toward Rosalie and she yelled over the siren. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?"

"I DON"T KNOW!" Rosalie yelled back as she took a hold of the steering wheel and began to press onto various buttons.

"Incoming unidentified vessel," a computerized voice said over the siren. "Incoming unidentified vessel."

"OH MY GOD!" Rosalie and Bella yelled together in panic as they looked wide-eyed out of the large window in front of them.

In front of their ship, coming toward them at full speed, was a whale. The very same whale that had tried to eat them while they were in Cid's ship. It's mouth was wide open, ready to receive it's meal. Rosalie and Bella both screamed together, before the blonde vampire decided to grab onto the wheel in hopes of steering them out of harms way.

"HURRY!" Bella screamed. "GET US THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY! I DON'WANT TO BE FISH FOOD!"

"I CAN'T!" Rosalie screamed back, her eyes wide and frightened. From the look on her face, Bella was sure that if the female vampire had been human, tears would have been streaming down her face. "WE'RE GOING TOO FAST FOR US TO STEER OUT IN TIME!"

Bella sobbed and fought to get herself out of her seat, she almost tore the seat belt from it's hinges. She them lunged to Rosalie, falling into the vampire's cold embrace. Rosalie held her tightly, her wide eyes set onto the whale with it's mouth wide open. They both watched as the whale enveloped their ship.

The first time had been when she and her father had been swallowed up by the black gooey vortex in front of their house. For the second time, Bella let the darkness envelope her as she and Rosalie were swallowed into the darkened belly of a whale.
