Memo: Thank you for all the reviews! I'm going to reply to the ones I haven't right after I write this…and Ohmigod- New Moon is finally out (at least in the United States)- or you can buy it on Amazon...
I've read it over like seven times now and have read Twilight over as well- and that's the main reason it's taken me quite a bit long to update…
Disclaimer: Stephenie Meyer definitely owns Twilight now…
Alice's view-
"Why did she leave," Edward whispered, still shocked.
"I don't know Edward," I lied. "I don't."
"Why did she Alice?" he repeated.
"I don't know Edward," I cried. It was my fault all over again.
"Please tell me Alice," he begged. Even being changed hadn't left him unaware of my tone- when I lied at least. He knew I knew.
"She…"I hesitated. "She…I think she figured out that you were strongly contemplating on leaving her after what happened."
"But it was only a thought," he whispered. "I wasn't that serious about it."
"She figured out all the packed bags Edward," I said. "The hunting trip was a bit longer than your other ones lately- three to four days to clear your head and hunt and stuff Edward, that was a bit longer of a wait for her than usual. She just realized that I guess, when she was in my head."
"Why did she leave then?" he asked, again.
"She didn't want her heart to be broken Edward," I told him gently. "She wasn't sure of what to do. It's not your fault Edward," I whispered to him- arms still around his waist.
"Why did she come back then," he asked in a dull tone- as if all life had left him.
"Her soul must have somehow been preserved in something Edward," I continued. "I truly don't know. Maybe that's one of the Volturi's powers I guess."
"Yeah, maybe," he whispered. "Do you know if she'll come back?" he asked.
"I don't know Edward."
"Then end it for me Alice," he begged. "Life's not worth anything any more. I know that you're lying Alice. I may be human, but I'm not stupid."
"At least change your self back," I suggested, shocked myself. "Then maybe you can find her- explain to her what happened. Make her see reason. You can-" but I was cut short.
"Oh on," Aro's (Note: I finally found out what their names were- relatively close to what I had guessed) voice rang, along with someone I could only assume was Caius. "He can't change back."
"What?" both me and Edward asked at the same time, turning.
"See," Caius said. "Existing for so many millennia certainly drew up boredom, and it's rare that we have fun. And so we thought, they wanted to be together- the only way is human."
"He can't die either," Aro chimed in, laughing.
"Yes," agreed Caius. "Tell us what happens in the end though, since this certainly is the most entertainment we've had in quite a bit. You see, we can't pass up a chance at fun."
"You can't do that," I whispered hoarsely- I could only presume too low for Edward to hear.
"We can, and we did. Now leave,' they both commanded.
"Oh god," I whispered, my shock not hidden.
Bella's View-
The tears were remote and lasted only for seconds.
I wanted to cry so badly. To be able to scream, to be able to shout, to be able to do something at the very least. Something to let it all go.
But I couldn't. I was star struck.
He was going to leave me, without even bothering to say good bye. It was what he was planning all along somewhat. It's what Alice was telling me. She had told me that I had a right to know.
She had told me that he wasn't sure himself if it was a good idea, and that for him it was only a thought. A strong thought however, with bags already packed- a home already bought.
That incident was what his worst fear would be- along with a few other glitches he hadn't seen forthcoming. That I wouldn't scream and start running like he had always thought I would- that I had sat still and had accepted my fate- not flinching.
Jasper's expression had not scared me what not- and he knew that. I had seen it as ordinary. And that had scared him even more.
But it had scared me the most.
I had found myself now, in the back of a bus- staring lifelessly at the people clattered around me. I had no idea where I was going- for the people around me had started complaining about the time. Glancing at their watches every third minute. Then every other. And then every minute.
But for me the trip wasn't going by fast enough.
I had no idea what I was hoping to gain from this- staying here and doing absolutely nothing.
Life didn't seem like anything any more.
It was then that I lost sight of what was happening around me.
And to me- within moments I had found myself looking over a cliff- ready to plunge. Looking over, I saw an end- an end to all of this.
An end to the pain. An end to the fact that I would know that I was not the one who had made him give up his immortality- and now he could easily get it back.
I never deserved someone as great as him- and he had deserved far better than me- for I was a nobody. A meaningless nothing.
I was simply something to be studied.
A fascination.
An intrigue.
And it was my fault he had given everything up. It was simply my fault.
And knowing this, I let myself fall over the ledge. All the while telling myself that very thing.
"It's my fault," I whispered as I was falling.
"Entirely mine," I whispered.
Note: I know this pretty different from my last chapters- but I hope it's okay. Please REVIEW and tell me WHAT YOU THINK!
Bye for now…
