Chapter 14: Confrontation

Edward's POV

I stayed back from the hunting trip since I had hunted just before we left and I needed to talk to Bella. I needed to talk to her alone, I wanted to spend time with her. I still couldn't put it together; I had seen her with Felix. But he loves Heidi and I have seen her with Marcus and Caius as well but she could love anyone. I want it desperately to be me, I needed it to be. I wanted her forgiveness and knew that I would have to work hard for it. She wasn't my breakable Bella anymore, she was strong. Very strong. When I had seen her in nude in Caius' arms, I wanted to rip him apart and hold her myself. She looked dazzling in that Victoria Secret slip, sure it was revealing but she looked amazing. She dazzled me like she always had. I hope that I will get a second chance; I would do anything for her.

I closed the front door of the mansion and turned around to go and search for her outside. Just as I was about to step outside, I heard a piano being played. She played perfectly. I walked up to the third floor where the music was coming from; I stopped at the door when the music stopped. No don't stop, it was getting very good. I knocked on the door very faintly not to startle who ever was playing. They didn't answer but started playing another song, it was beautiful. Who ever was playing was a much better musician than me. I pushed the door open and it creaked, I stepped into the room to realize it was an entertainment room. DVDs and CDs covered the entire left wall and the south wall was where the plasma screen was. In the center of the room was a white leather couch, a red loveseat and black chairs. My eyes pondered until they hit her sitting at the piano playing, I was surprised that she was playing so smoothly. She was in the next room that was painted a deep purple and had white wood floors. In the center stood the black piano with a matching bench. I walked forward and sat down beside her, she didn't stop playing or flinch. I listened to the song until it finished and she took her hands of the keys.

''You play wonderfully.'' I spoke in a calm voice to not stun her.

''I'm no Beethoven.'' Her voice was harsh but didn't shock me. ''Why aren't you hunting with the others?''

''I hunted before leaving so I had no need.'' She still didn't look up to me. I wanted to look into her eyes and know that she's mine. '' Did you learn to play your lullaby by yourself?'' That was a stupid question, only my family and her knew it.

''Yeah, I decided to change it a little bit over the years.'' I nodded, not sure if she saw it or not. She stood up and started walking away; it broke my heart to see her walk away.

''Please stay.'' I pleaded.

''Why should I Edward? Your apologies don't mean anything to me right now, so you don't have to keep wasting your breath.'' That hurt. She kept walking and I ran in front of her to block her from leaving the room.

''Then I'll keep telling you that I love you Bella. I never stopped and I was a total idiot for leaving you.'' She was angry, I could tell. She still hadn't made eye contact with me. '' Just please talk to me. Look at me Bella.'' I waited impatiently.

''If you don't move I will move you myself and it won't be pleasant.'' She looked up to me with the coldest look she could give. I moved out of the way and she mouthed thank you. I wasn't done with her yet, I grabbed her arm knowing she couldn't get her stupid guards to stop me this time.

'' Let me go, this instant.'' Her arm lit up in blue flames and I was shaking in pain, I didn't scream. I wouldn't give her the pleasure yet, she continued until it got unbearable.

''Stop. Please stop it.'' I whined she stopped and pushed me off of her.

''That will teach you to not grab me again peasant.''

''Peasant? Oh I'm sorry your majesty, am I too poor to be treated as a normal person?'' I let my sarcasm sink in.

'' You are a normal person to me, just one of those stupid imbeciles who want me for my beauty and power.'' My jaw dropped. How could she think that I liked her for that?

''Lies, I love you for you. You're caring and charming and fragile.''

'' I'm not fragile Edward. Now you're the fragile one. You like Bella, the one who died when you left.'' That hurt a lot. ''I'm not her anymore, I'm better in every single way.'' She threw me into the far wall, and came right up to my face. ''Do you think the old Bella could do that.'' She backed up and her arms lit up in red flames. She threw fire around me. It wasn't on my body but the heat burned badly. ''DO YOU THINK THE OLD ME WOULD DO THAT?'' She screamed and ran off and out of the room.

I managed to pull myself out of the wall; she wasn't the same like she had showed me. She was cold and heartless. She had no objective in life than prove herself the best. I ran down to my room, I hadn't realize that it was across hers. I had another chance and didn't care if she ripped me apart, I would always love her. I knocked on her door, no answer. I couldn't hear her breathing or movement, she mustn't be here. I went and searched for her out on the beach, no sign or smell of her. I returned inside and searched the inside pool, she wasn't there at all. I gave up my search and went to the library to read. I found some parchment paper and wrote her a note.

Dear Bella,

I've searched for you and found no sign. I'm not going to give up, I'm leaving this to see if you will find it. I wanted to let you know that whatever you do, I will always love you. I left my heart with you the day I left and never got it back, I won't stop until I get it back and yours as well. It doesn't matter if you've crushed it. I love you Bella. And not just for your beauty or power. Sure they are impressive but they don't make me want you more.

I know you don't want me to apologize but I can't help it. I'm sorry for the pain I caused you, I left so that you could have a normal human life and have a family and someone who isn't selfish. You had promised me that you would keep safe, but you broke it. I don't blame you, I broke mine. It pains me to know that you wanted to die because I left you.

If I ever get the chance to have you back in my arms again I will never let you go.

I love you with my whole entire existence,

Edward.

I left it under her door hoping that she would read it, I would stay in the library until tomorrow once everyone. I sat down on a green empire chair and picked up one of the many books in her collection. I was about half way into the book when I heard a bang come from downstairs. I left to go check it out, I went down the hallway of rooms and found her door wide open. I walked inside to see it's wine white color with gold detailing in the ceiling. Everything in the room was thrashed apart. I went back into the hallway to find burnt footprints into the floor I followed them to a meadow on the north side of the island. She stood in the middle of the clearing with her head in her hands. I rushed over to comfort her but was knocked into a tree. She had changed into leather pants with a gray one-strap shirt and blue heels. She walked up to me and kicked her left leg up and stuck her heel into my neck.

''Why are you doing this to me?'' I managed to say while she was choking me. Her eyes widened.

''Don't you get it, you screwed up my life Edward. Because of you, I can't stop thinking of you every second of the day.'' She closed her eyes and screamed. She dropped onto the ground and started shaking. ''Get out of my head!'' She calmed down and stood up across of me. She was scared. I started walking towards her again and she pushed me into the ground with her mind. She walked over and put her foot into my chest, she looked straight into my eyes. Her eyes kept flickering to a green color and back to her beautiful blue ones. I was scared. She jumped off of me and stood back.

''Go away, I don't want to see you right now.'' She was angry and I couldn't understand what was happening.

''No, I'm not leaving.'' I said to her as serious as I could be.

''LEAVE.'' Her frustration was making the winds spike up.

''Bella calm down, tell me what's happening.''

''No Edward, it's you. You're doing this to me. JUST STOP.'' I couldn't figure out what was going on, I wasn't doing anything. ''I can't take it anymore, just go. Leave me you idiot.'' I was getting angry.

''I'm not leaving Bella, I love you.''

''You don't know me anymore, how can you love me?'' I rushed over to her and wrapped my arms around her. I crushed my lips to hers and gave her the most passionate kiss I could. She didn't push away until a couple minutes later.

''That's how much I love you Bella.'' She got up and shielded herself and then teleported to god knows where. I knew that I was getting to her, I wouldn't give up.
