I am so sorry guys! The last two chapters have been on my computer for ages! There is no excuse for it, what with GCSE's etc, but I promise, that if you still want it after this chapter, the last one is available.

Edwards POV
I heard them crunch. I swear to God that I did. She screamed a violent scream, and then fell to the floor limp. I was then immediately snapped out of my stare at Bella on the floor, and looked up at the monster. The ugly, hairy monster. I then looked at Jane, who was laughing.
"What are you doing here?" I said, quietly, still pained by her torture.
"She isn't a vampire." She replied simply.
"So you set THIS on Bella?"
"No. It just happened to be on its way anyway. I just didn't stop it. We said there would be consequences, but I didn't realise that it would mean that there would be ones, but my hands would still be clean." I growled and she chuckled. She then looked at me again and serges of pain went through me.
"But you came here against his orders. You shouldn't be here." I said, after reading her mind. "And if you did, then you would be tortured." She looked worried, as if she had forgotten my powers.
"But you shouldn't be here either. I smelt her when you where at your house. I smelt her blood spill, and that's when I knew that she was still 'alive'. So, yes I came against his wishes, but it was only to serve him. You however, went against his wishes by not turning her into one of us. You promised, I, on the other hand simply didn't say yes, but I also didn't say no." I had to admit she was talking sense, but then her head snapped up. She smiled. "I should leave. I don't need to finish a job. But I seem to think that someone called … Victoria," I could feel my heart leap at the sound of her name. I growled. She was still on the loose. "Is on her way. I will let her finish the job. Its easy for her, I have done half of it." She gestured to Bella.
"Don't you dare - " I got up, but not in enough time, she was gone. I growled. "Crap!" My voice echoed in the meadows woods and then I heard a scream.
"BELLA!" I could hear Jacob screaming somewhere from the meadow. He came into vision and stopped dead in front of me. I just stood, and I knew then that what had happened to Bella was a cause of what he had done. I simply couldn't look at her, but I knew I should have. But I didn't want my last vision of Bella to be a dead one.
"Explain." I said in a monotone voice. I then heard what he was saying. The monster was over me still, but I didn't care. "Don't you give me that bull!" I screamed at Jacob. "Tell me why and maybe how Bella was the one that ended up dead in this and it wasn't YOU!" He looked terrified, and for one moment I was quite happy that I had scared him. Bloody hell it had taken a long time.
"Welliwasathomewithmydadandthensomeonedroppedoffclaire-"
"In a slow voice I can understand."
"Someone dropped Claire off, you know the one that Quill imprinted on? Well my dad went to bed and I was stuck, with a baby. I didn't know what to do. She wouldn't shut up. I got angry, changed and …" He grimaced and I raised my eyebrows, beckoning him to continue. "I sort of thought it would be a good idea to put her in a cupboard for an hour. To shut her up. But I forgot … and in the morning …"
I could feel my mouth was open at the sheer horridness of what he had done. He had suffocated a baby, and it was a genuine mistake. He was one dim boy. I wanted to be a dad, once. Before the only person that I could possibly think of to be their perfect, beautiful mother was dead. I was almost glad that I couldn't cry. Because, if I could, there would be none left I would have cried that much.
"When Quill found out, he was livid. The only one that he had imprinted on was dead. And he said that he would pay me back by doing the same to the person that I was in love with." I winced at the word. He couldn't love Bella. I did. More than anything in the world, more than my family. More than the universe. I think I loved Bella too much. She was my precious diamond in a world of water, and I had dropped it and lost it forever. She was my life. And my life was gone. I turned around and then the normal Quill was there. I stared at him. He stared back. I lifted my fist to punch him. To attack him. But then I heard a faint, an oh so faint noise.
"Edward?" Bella wheezed. All of our eyes widened, and me and Quill both looked at each other. Then we both lunged towards the crippled person that was my girlfriend.
