STATS: Ohmigod...I checked the stats for "It's your fault" and I was amazed...it has over 4 THOUSAND hits, FOUR THOUSAND!
I've had about 65 reviews- in which I hope will keep coming...1 C2 (no idea what that is)...thirteen people's favorites...and over 21 alerts in which it's going to pop up on people's mailboxes that I'm writing this...wow...THANK YOU TO ALL OF THIS!
Memo: I can't believe all of that...I've had these ideas for this chapter for a really long time now...except I haven't written it, and I'll redo the last chapter if people want me to and make it about three times longer or two times longer or something like that...
I'm going to clear up a few things:
1. When Alice has intense visions she sometimes falls out of shock or something momentarily...sorry for that
2. I really like the show Angel/Buffy and I'm sorry if that part was confusing in previous chapters
3. Sorry for going up on a different point of view at that time as well...

Edward's point of view
It took me awhile to get used to the fact that Bella was no longer with me. The moments seemed like seconds too long...
I wished for one thing that this would be over soon, and I went to the only cure I knew of to get over this remote fact that I knew I could not face alone.
I saw the "Votruseli" in front of me at that moment of time. All three of them faced me, looking at my face trying to find the excruciating details. I tried to turn my face, but the man Eros (forgot names- sorry) held my face. I knew Alice would probably be seeing what was happening now, or what would perhaps happen later. I knew that all of them would be coming now, with Bella. I knew that part too, and at that part my face shuddered uncontrollably.
I already missed her, and I found myself crying there, where I was at the point where Eros threw away my face in disgust and ridicule.
"You come into our home," Carlos (name?) began, "and begin to disturb us, slowly at first. You throw our things in our face, you tear my books the ones have been read for about a thousand years,at least 10 times longer than you have been here," he sneered, " and now you are here crying in front of us for some unknown reason. Now tell us boy," he barked. "Why do you want to die?"
I was going to read the man's mind to find out what he wanted, but I found myself unable to do that at the moment.
"Don't try to do that," said the other man. "It wont' work. We know what you want."
"What?" I managed to make out, stuttering.
"Tell us what you want," he said.
This wasn't what I thought this would be like. I had thought this would be different, with the action first and the questions later- at a point where I couldn't respond. I didn't like this.
"Nothing..." I managed.
"Don't try to lie," one said, and I was too confused to make out who he was. I just didn't like this.
"I want you to kill me," I answered, truthfully- hoping they would grant my request.
"We already knew that," he answered, "but at least that's a start. Now tell us who the girl is."
I stared at them in shock, since never had it crossed my mind that they knew of her.
"Oh," the other one said, "of course we would know. We always know. We also know that she's on her way here right now- along with several other people. The rest of Carlisle's clan I presume Edward. Am I correct?"
I didn't catch the last part however. I had only made out the first. "She's alive..." I trailed off, startled. And here I was, making a fool of myself- probably going to get my death wish- and yet she was alive. I didn't hide my shock.
The tears on my face froze, and suddenly became tears of joy. "She's alive," I chanted. "She's alive!"
"Don't get your hopes up boy," Eros (I could suddenly make him out) said, smiling smugly. "I still want to know why you would do this for a girl."
"Because I love her," I whispered- it being true.
"Like Rosalie did for Emmet- changing him even though he was alive..."
"How did you..." but I trailed off. They probably knew of everything. The first thing I had told Bella had been partly true of how Rosalie had no choice but to change Emmet, but when I had told her that the last birthday we had celebrated was in 1935- I wasn't sure if Bella had found out that Emmet was still alive at that time, human at that time.
"Carlisle told us," he stated simply.
"Oh," I managed.
"That was also the time you returned, correct?"
"How..." but I stopped again, realizing that they knew all of it, and most likely Carlisle had told them since there weren't that many clans to keep track of nowadays.
That had been the rebellious stage I had told Bella about.
"We also know what Alice saw, you idiot," Marcos (name?) snickered.
"So she's alive," I answered, confused.
"Alice didn't kill her," he said, 'she simply..."
But the man stopped at that point, and I noticed that all three men weren't looking at me anymore, but at the door.
And out came Alice, Jasper, Carlisle- and what used to be Bella.
"Good evening," Carlisle said- looking up at the men. "These are my friends- Alice and Jasper," he motioned to behind them who nodded their head in awe- looking around at the house. And I had once thought that our house was beyond imaginable- or so Bella had told me. I shuddered at her name- because there she was, right in front of me- lifeless.
"Haven't seen you in awhile Carlisle," all three chanted at once.
"Been busy," he shrugged. "Anyway. You probably know our little dilemma for being here- and I excuse my other little friend Edward"- he said, glaring at me, "for his irrational behavior."
I glared right back at Carlisle then- I could not believe he had just called Bella a dilemma (ha! That rhymes!).
"Please leave us," they said- Carlisle included.
Jasper, Alice- who was still looking around- and myself left. I felt like killing all of them- Carlisle especially for what he had just said. Irrational behavior? Irrational behavior my ass (sorry for that). I could show him irrational behavior.
I felt a sudden rage tear inside of me, and I began to tear even more of the house down. It was in fact- just the size of our house- just remotely bigger- but there items and set up were at least hundreds of years better.
I could feel myself ripping up even more books- unable to control my anger- and throw their pots and vases- which I believed were antiques but did not care at the current moment, and was quite happy for myself at doing so.
I heard Jasper run to my side- trying to stop me. I knocked him aside, making him run into a pillar. Surprisingly it only left a scratch. Perhaps Jasper had stopped himself, or they had built the pillar out of flesh or something- I thought the second point much more of a possibility. I now wondered why they had not killed me. The obviously hadn't hesitated doing so before to so many other people.
"Edward,"Alice's voice rang, stopping me short. Her voice had that effect. "Stop it," she ordered. And I did.
"Shut up Alice," I growled, unhappily. I hated her at the current moment.
"Stop and listen to me Edward," she said. I didn't want to listen though, and so I went back to my previous occupation.
It was after doing that for a few more minutes that I found myself in even a worse state. And I attacked things I had disregarded previously, not knowing for where my anger would lead. Perhaps I would attack Alice and Jasper next, I thought happily.
But that didn't seem to be the case. I noticed that both of them pounced at me in unision- trying to stop me. I wouldn't let them do that. I tore and tried to claw my way through their grip. Jasper's strength I knew- Alice's I had not anticipated.
"Pig's blood does that," she crooned.
"Alice," I dropped my guard for a second, seeing that their grips loosened, and then I popped up once more- but they had still grasped a hold of me.
"I'm not stupid Edward," she giggled, "and neither is Jasper. So just SHUT UP and listen to me for once," she said.
"STOP it Alice," I screamed. "I DON'T CARE. JUST SHUT UP! I DON'T WHAT TO LISTEN TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY BECAUSE QUITE FRANKLY, I JUST DON'T CARE!"
"Oh Edward," she said, "you'll care about this."
"Shut up," I repeated, turning moody. Bella was dead, and she was doing this of all things- giggling of all things. I now regretted that I had once called her the most supportive, because at that moment she was far from it. At that moment, when things mattered most to me.
"Oh Edward," she said- turning my head to face her way- I spat at her- but she just giggled. "Bella's not dead!" I stopped fighting them.
"Repeat that," I said, startled.
"She's not dead Edward. Not dead!"
Both of their grips were off now, and I knew I could run- because I was definitely faster than the two of them.
"Stop Edward," Jasper called out- speaking out for the first time. "Carlisle needs to try to figure out what happened."
And so I ran back to them, the tears suddenly returning from where they had stopped.
"The reason Edward," he said, staring at me, "that they didn't kill you, was because of Carlisle. Okay? To sum that up- Carlisle knew one day that you would lose it- and Carlisle isn't stupid so he had told the Voltruseli ages ago what you had planned, and if that ever happened in the future for them not to make a big deal out of it, because they knew Carlisle. So stop hating Carlisle at the current moment and talk to Alice." I had never known Jasper to say so much- especially to me as well. If he ever talked it would only be to Alice.
"Okay," I mumbled. "Now tell me what that has to do with Bella?"
"That's why the Voltruseli are helping Carisle. Got that?"
"Okay," I said, obviously excited. I was jumping for a few minutes or so- lightly so the floor would not break- listening to Alice giggle.
It was then that Carlisle came out. Eros followed him. I wondered what had happened to the other two.
"They had a meeting," he called out, pointedly.
"Bella?" I asked hopefully.
"Well Edward," Carlisle began, hesitant at first. "Alice's poison affected her in different ways. It was the reason why and how Bella became a monster, as you so like to put it. She did it for love Edward, and Edward she..."
"Get on with it," I cried, excitedly.
"She did it for love Edward. Because she loved you. But she also did it for intrigue-" I flashed a cord at that point. Intrigue?
"What?" I asked, confused. I had heard that word before- from what Alice had told me.
"She believed you simply loved her for that Edward. That's why she believed you didn't change her. And it looks like she regretted her decision after she made it. She also believed Edward- I know this because she confronted me before when I, um, saved her- that you were lying about ever wanting to die for her. She..."
"Just tell me what happened to Bella," I moaned, not wanting to hear this.
"Well," he said uncomfortablly. "She can only get her life back Edward if you give up your immortality for her."
"Okay," I said, not realizing the conflicts at that point. "Okay."
