Twilight in Camelot

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight. Period. End of story. I DON'T OWN ANYTHING AT ALL!!!!!!

A/N I'm so sorry that i haven't updated. And for those of you who are still reading this after my insanely long absence: enjoy the new chapter.

I'm not sure how, but i fell asleep. I suppose that is what every body needs, a few restful hours of undisturbed peace. Peace for the body to what needs to be healed, or in my case, peace to process the disturbing and life-altering things that happened. My dreams were not nagged by the thought of Michael Van Newton, nor where they nagged by thoughts of exile or beheadment. I was in my own world, and in my world, Edward was with me, my parents approved, and Michael Van Newton didn't exist. To anyone else this was obviously a dream, but to me, this was heaven, and it was real. But every dream must end. Even the best. In life, I awoke to what was worse than hell. But in my dreams, life was pure bliss.
The day was eventful. Wedding plans were beginning to be arranged, fittings for dresses, and everyone congratulating me on how lucky I was. If I were truly lucky, Edward would be there. Guinevere tried her best to act as though nothing interesting last night, but failed miserably.
Night fell and the thing I had to look forward to were dreams of Edward and false realities. I was almost sad yo have them because I would have to go through the pain of waking up and realizing that they were only dreams. I undressed slowly, hoping vainly that if I prolonged the dreams that kept me through the dreams that kept me going through the day, the pain would be less when I awoke. I stared out the windows, the same window that started everything hoping wistfully that something would happen, that he would come appear.
He did. To my surprise when I looked out the window, he was there.

Waiting.
Waiting for me.
Without thought I opened the window and let him in.
Without thought I crushed his lips to mine.
Without thought I locked the door.
Without thought we...

LATER

"Edward, what are they going to do to you?" I asked, frightened of the answer.

"They told me today. I'm going somewhere, somewhere far away. It's very dangerous. I don't think the expect me to accomplish the task. But promise me that when I come back you'll be here, waiting for me" Edward seemed so sure of himself. So sure that he would return.
"What if you don't come back?" The words shot out of my mouth before I even realized I was saying them.
"I will. But Bella, you have to promise me that you'll wait for me, no matter how long I'm away. Promise me."
"Edward...I'm getting married," These words did not fly out. From the moment he asked me to wait for him I knew that I was going to have to tell him. But the horrified look that came to his face made me want to take them back.
He got up from the bed. "Bella..." Confusion, disappointment, horror, all of these emotions flashed across his face."Bella how could you?" Anger was forming. I had never seen Edward angry before. It was something I had hoped never to see.
"What are you talking about? How could I what?" I asked more confused than ever.
"How could you get engaged!" Anger was swelling inside him. I started becoming desperate.
"Edward I don't even know him!"
"I suppose this is just what you do. You get engaged and then for a bit of fun you have a fling with a poor, lowly knight, get his hopes up, make him believe he has a chance, and crush him."
Now it was my turn to be angry. "How could you think that! I found out last night! Everything before that was real, anything we said, anything we did, all real."
"What about after?"
"Edward, you know me me. Would I go around and have sex with strangers?"
"Oh, so now I'm a stranger?"
"That's not what I meant and you know it. You have to believe me!"
"I don't know if I can anymore. Goodbye Princess Isabella. May you live long and always remember the people you hurt, throughout your life. And please, don't wait for me."

And with that he climbed out my window. I started crying. I unlocked the door and ran to the only person I could tell this to, the only person who had never judged me, the person I told all my secrets to, Alicia. I ran to her room, it was fairly close to mine, she is one of my favorite ladies-in-waiting.
I burst through the door not knocking or anything. I knew that she knew that I would be coming. She always knew. "Alicia..." I said despairingly. I was right, there she was, sitting on her sofa eating a box of chocolates.
"Good Morning Bella. I am supposing you have something rather important to tell me."
I started crying harder and to her. I sat beside her on her sofa.
"Edward, he left me."
"Isabella, I..."
"He left me and told me he never wanted to see me again! He's going away, far away, to do something my parents know he won't be able to do. He's going to die! And we...we...we..."
"Bella you didn't," Alicia asked concerned.
I simply nodded. I was crying too hard to speak.
"Bella, I don't know what to say. Just stay here for a while until you calm down. Did you tell him you were engaged?" I nodded. "He didn't like that did he?" Again I nodded. "He said things to make you upset."
"Yes," I said finally. "What am I going to do? I can't possibly marry Michael. I love Edward!"
"Well you can't tell Michael that! My sources say that he is today, well he'll be here today."
"Alicia, what time is it?"
"1 in the morning."
"I'm so tired..."
"You should be. You had a very eventful night. Go back to bed and sleep. I'll tell everyone you got sick in the night. I'll come check on you and you can come out of your room when you feel ready. Alright?"
"Yes, I suppose. Will you be with me all the time from now on?"
"After you decide to get up yes."
"Thank you Alicia."
"You're welcome Bella," and so I went back to bed. Only this night, my dreams were plagued with the thought of leaving and death. But especially Michael Van Newton.

A/N well that's that. hope you enjoyed it! REVIEW REVIEW!!! also, I will be starting a new thing where i just put up 1 chapter of a potential story, but if i don't get at least 5 reviews in a week, I'll stop writing it. so you really need to have me on author alert if you want to know when i have new stuff up. I'll also have polls up about what stories you like best so if you like a story and you want to know what happens, you need to vote or else i delete it. I'm doing this so that i don't waste my time with stories that no one is reading. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!!! MAKE SURE YOU REVIEW OR ELSE I'LL THINK YOU'RE NOT READING!!!!
