I feel bad for leaving this hanging for so long, but I had to think on it because I didn't want to be going against my religion by writing this. Here's a new chapter for you finally.

Izzy POV

"Edward! Where did you find her?" Esme cried in joy, breaking my thoughts. I looked up at her. She scooped me up into her arms and crushed me to her with enough force to leave me slightly breathless.

"Its okay Esme. She probably just wanted to find us so she snuck out, following our scents. She doesn't seem injured or anything," Edward soothed. My Sidekick started playing To Write Love On Her Arms by Helio then. Uh oh.

"Edward are you going to answer your phone? Is that a new ring tone?" Carlisle asked. Edward looked at the caller ID. Ezzy. I'm in trouble. Edward picked up the phone and ran into the woods. He was soon out of ear shot.

"Maybe that boy finally found someone he wants to be with. I get so afraid when I see him alone," Esme whispered to me. Hopefully not. Ezzy would not approve of that little obsession.

Edward POV

I took Bella's phone and ran out of ear shot. It was on the fourth ring when I finally answered it.

"Hello?" I answered smoothly. It was not welcome.

"Prep boy? Give Izzy the phone! Oops is she on lock down? Still! Sneak her phone to her!"

"I'm afraid I can't do that," I told her rationally. She shrieked a few expletives that Bella would not have appreciated. I heard a motherly gasp from her end and an older woman telling her to hang up the phone and wash her mouth out..

"This isn't over Prep," came Ezzy's scarily calm reply. I heard the click of the line going dead and lowered the brightly colored phone. I set off at a fast pace to the house. Little Izzy was sitting in Esme's arms on the porch watching the little bit of sunset you could see. She was fighting the exhaustion as Esme stroked her wing spots. She yawned once then nestled deep into the soft material of Esme's skirt.

"Edward? Could you be a dear and take Izzy to her room?" Esme asked holding her up for me to take. I bounded up the stairs, eager to sit down the delicate parcel. She looked up at me with darkening blue eyes.

'Eddie?' Izzy asked sleepily. I whispered consoling words in her tiny ears. She curled deeper into my chest and let out an almost silent purr of satisfaction. When we reached her room, I set her out on her bed. She curled up into a tight ball on the fuzzy black pillow. I lay down next to her and stroked her small back.

Mysteriously Ominous POV

Surrounding herself with vampires? Good move. Leaving herself in such a vulnerable form? The most idiotic thing I'd ever head of. Go ahead make my plans to get rid of you easier. Stupid little Angel. Lovely little Angel. My little Angel.

I will have you again. No one to stop me now. Not your other outcast friend, and especially not weak little vampires. Sleep safe for now little Angel.

Izzy POV

'Sleep safe for now little Angel,' An darkly familiar voice entered my light, colorful dreams. It pricked at memories I knew should be there, but weren't. I grasped for them, but only received a sharp pain in my chest and the smell of blood in my nose. I opened my eyes not to my lovely bedroom, in Heaven or Earth, but to a cloud running with the liquid gold color of angel blood in its truest, heavenly form. Not the dull red it was on Earth.

'My little Angel ...'

I woke with a start, finding myself in my human form. Edward was staring at me and motioning for me to transform. I complied and moments later Esme barged in and took me into her arms.

"Did the poor little one have a nightmare?" I mewed helplessly as she coddled me. I scrabbled at the memories I was slowly letting slip from my grasp. Suddenly I was only left with the hollow horror of my dream. I remembered nothing of it.

"Esme? May I take Izzy to Port Angeles to the pet shop?" Edward said, taking me out of her arms. She nodded, saying I needed to be pampered. He sat me in the passenger seat of his Volvo and drove off. I transformed halfway there. Edward tossed m my Sidekick and I dialed Ezzy.

"Hello?" She yawned.

"Ezzy? Its me Izzy. Edward snuck me out wanna meet up? I'll call Raksha if you do."

"'Course I do. Let me get my wallet and get dressed. Cinnabon?"

"Mhmmm. See you there." I hung up and dialed the only other number in my contacts. Raksha picked up after the fourth ring.

"Hello?"

"Raksha? Its me Izzy. Ezzy and I are meeting up at Cinnabon. We wondered if you wanted to come," I told her. She deliberated for a moment.

"Sure I'll meet you guys soon. I gotta sneak out." I cringed at the thought of disobeying parents.

"You don't have to ..."

"My grandma doesn't want me to be friends with certain people so she wants to meet everyone I hang out with, but she can't. I have to sneak out every now and then so I can have some freedom, since she doesn't ever agree with my friends," She explained. Tough situation. I was still wary of her disobeying. She murmured a goodbye as I heard her grunting to open a window. The line clicked off as she got it open.

"Bella?" Edward asked slowly. I sized him up. They wouldn't like his intrusion. I leaned over as we parked and kissed him. He gripped the sides of my face and gently pulled me away from him.

"What the he - heck was that?" He whispered angrily. I didn't think it was that bad. Stupid vampire.

"I have to have an excuse for why you're here. If you had just saved me, then I would have sent you away, but I want you here."

"Why?" He asked harshly.

"I don't know. Maybe you should just go for awhile. I'll call you when we're through," I hissed as I climbed out of the car. I heard my door slam as his opened. He grabbed my arm and tugged me to him.

"I want to be here too, but we can't do this."

"I know that. Just leave!" I yanked my arm out of his grasp and stomped inside. Edward followed and twirled me around as I found a table. He put his lips to mine softly.

'No no little Angel. You'll become a Fallen like that,' The ominous voice whispered. I pulled away from Edward frantically. It was right. I was becoming far too attached to this place. This place where life was fleeting as a flame in a candle. That was proved just as Edward was about to say something to me. A screech of tires came from outside and a tall, lean body went flying. The dark hair and clothes brought me to life. I went as fast as I could in public to the door and outside. Raksha lay in a widening pool of crimson liquid. The light in her eyes faded as they focused on nothing in particular. I tapped into the angel power I knew I shouldn't use. I healed her internal bleeding and healed her brain. That was all I could do. I sagged into Edward as I watched my friend bleed out into the street.

It didn't matter what I had done she still had gashes all over sone life threatening, but I couldn't do any more. I had taken away the worst of the pain, but I could no more stop her from dying than Edward could stop a wave or the wind.

"Izzy?" I heard her whispered voice. I hurried to her side, grabbing her hand.

"Yes?"

"You're ... an amazing ... friend. Tell ... Grammy I ... lo ... lo ..." My friend choked on the word as she took her final breath. I nodded to her unseeing eyes, then closed them. Ezzy was sobbing in the background and paramedics finally arrived on the scene, but I knew they wouldn't revive her. I ran from it all. As soon as I could find a deserted alley, I unfurled my wings and took off. I ignored the pain in my right wing and flew to the coast. I let myself plunge into the deep water. I didn't kick or stroke. I just let my wings get heavier as the feathers soaked up water. I watched as I sunk farther into the dark water.

'Goodbye!' I sent out a wave of power so strong I had no strength to move, even if I wanted to save myself.

'Not now little Angel. Your time will come, but not now.' I let this soothing, yet frightening voice be the last thing I heard as I succumbed to the dark. My lungs were on fire. I couldn't tell if my vision was going black because I was dying or because I was sinking. I wanted back where I belonged. Away from this pain. I was dying. That's why my vision was going black.

Goodbye. Edward. No strength to send him this last message.

Edward POV

'Goodbye!' I felt the strength of this message. I followed this strange girl's scent to the ocean. There were silvery bubbles coming up about a mile out. I dove in and swam straight for my little Bella. Mine? I had no claim to her, which was shown when she drew away when I kissed her. I found her near to the bottom as she finally drew in a breath of seawater. I grabbed her and pressed it out of her placing my mouth over hers and forcing air in as I kicked up to the surface. I continued doing this as I swam to the shore. When we got there she was breathing slightly on her own.

"Edward ... don't ... want ..." She whispered. The rest of her sentence was garbled into something I couldn't discern. She didn't want me. I ran to a store I could buy a blanket from and also grabbed her a hot chocolate from a coffee store.

"No! No!" She was screaming when I got back. Her eyes fluttered restlessly beneath her eyelids. I had gotten two blankets and rolled her onto one, then covered her with the other.

"Bella. Bella wake up," I whispered.

Izzy POV

Memories of a woman with caramel hair cuddling me and calling me Izzy flooded my mind. Who am I? Where am I? The word Fallen slipped into my mind followed by a picture of a gorgeous boy. Edward. I felt a shadow of a feeling at the first word. Was it distress?

A blood covered cloud loomed up next a beautiful boy with ebony hair laughed as I cowered on the ground. Max? Was that his name? A light brown haired girl, Emmy?, was crying and cringing into the ground next to me. My father? He grabbed hold of the boy and threw him off the cloud, turning then to us.

'Oh little ones. I'm so sorry. You will not have to remember this.' A flash. More memories of me and Emmy flying through the clouds and golden streets of Heaven?

"Bella." A honey velvet voice broke my visions. I was left in a deep black. I struggled against it. I heard a smack and felt a sharp pain flaring where my hand? should be. I searched in vain for my eyes. Perhaps this was a dream. I just needed to open my eyes. There! I located what I thought were my eyes.

"Little Bella. You open your beautiful lips, but no sound comes out. Are the nightmares gone?" The velvet and honey voice asked.

Thank you guys for being so patient with me while I figured things out. It hasn't been a good week , so sorry if this chapter is a little dark :)
