Memo: OHMIGOD!- I just realized what date it was…I last updated on the ninth or something, and it's the 25th now- I honestly thought it was the 15th- OHMIGOD- I am so sorry, I'm going to update like two other stories after this then, because I think they've been waiting just as long…To explain some things about the last chapter I have a review by Vinestar below, who said it was okay if I posted it here. I lost quite a few stats actually, with the last chapter- a few alerts and I think a favorite or two…but then again, I gained quite a few as well- lol
That seemed so unlike Bella- Vinestar
Okay- reason for that. Bella- Edward suicide. Bella never believed that she could love or do anything like this before she met Edward. She had a crush on Romeo for God's sake…and so now, without Edward she's nothing. Bella, if you've read New Moon (tell me if you're reading this story and you haven't read it), was a zombie of all things. She didn't know what was going on, wasn't aware of conversations and so forth. There's only a certain point where she doesn't snap. She's amazed by how he loves her and everything, and now without him, there you lose her- completely. She fell in love, and now it crushed her, slowly breaking her from behind.
That sure was a long ways to fall- not sure if I can say who said this, since I didn't ask.
Okay. When people are dying, they're like thinking all these things that they would never have thought of before. Final thoughts. Final thoughts go on FOREVER!- There really is no stopping point to your thoughts, you thinking you're going to die and so forth- and so she thought of all of this while falling. Tell me if you don't understand it.
Disclaimer: Not going to happen…
Bella's View-
I'm going to be killed! My conscious told me. Killed! Perhaps this would be even more painful then falling off of the cliff, or perhaps I thought, this would be better, since what if I didn't die from falling off the cliff, and instead was treated at a hospital and then brought back. I didn't want to take that risk.
My blood started pounding, in excitement actually, as the vampire put me down and examined me.
"How strange," a voice mused under me. Soft, enchanting, and melodious…my head told me.
"Yes," another voice, smooth and lovely rang out afterward.
"Her blood…" one trailed off.
"Smells good," the softer and lovelier- female- voice finished. "But why?"
"Volturi," the male, I now assumed, spat.
"Yes," the female said. They were talking about me, I knew. About my blood. But why wasn't I dead yet?
"Excuse me?" I asked, my voice strong and demanding, despite my whatever 100x meters fall.
"She?" the female said incredulously- the pitch in her voice amazed. I looked up to see her, brushing my hair off of my face. The female, I now saw, had a chestnut hair color, her skin like mine- but tanner, I noticed. Her eyes were a strange peach color, I saw- not red like James, or any of the other little vampires I had pleasure in meeting.
"Yes?" I demanded, wanting to know what she was getting at. I was getting annoyed actually, why wasn't I dead yet?
"What are you?" the male asked. Looking up to see him now, I saw his face was majestic- beauty without compromise. His hair, cut neatly across his face was dark and beautiful, his skin just like the woman's- his companion I could only assume, and his eyes peach, like hers, as well…
"My name's Bella," I pranced- not hiding the irritation in my voice, "thank you very much."
"Julie," the female vampire said, crushing my hand in hers. I saw a strained smile, playing on her lips- and I realized she was trying to break me…but why couldn't she?
"James," the other one said. James, I thought, why didn't he kill me when he had the chance? It would have been so much better as well if he had, then I wouldn't have to go through this…this heartbreak.
"What are you?" I gasped. They weren't like Edward, I knew, they're skin and they're eyes…unlike anything I'd seen before, and yet they're beauty radiated inhumanly.
"Vampires," the male answered, grinning wickedly- his teeth glistening.
"But you aren't human," the female trailed off.
"And you aren't vampires," I snorted. I was disgusted now, they were clearly like me, despite what they were saying about my blood, despite the coldness of their skin, and so forth…
"Our eyes change color," the female then explained. "You…" she began. "You're the Cullen's mate aren't you?"
"What?' I snapped.
"I think I saw you…" Julie, I suppose, then said. "you were dead. And the boy…the boy asked to die…something about some lover, and that was you," she reviled.
"NO!" I barked. "It wasn't. I've lived in…" I searched my mind for where I might be, "Notting Hill all my life."
"This isn't Notting Hill," the male- James- now spoke up. "Tell me why you're here."
"Suicide," I shrugged, giving up, and held up my arm. "Here, you can drink it. I know you aren't vegetarians or whatever. Your eyes were red when you caught me, and now they're peach or something…but whatever. Just kill me."
"Why?" they asked in unision, confusion kitting their brows.
"I…"struggling for words came up with, "am pregnant. I'm pregnant," I said. "Now kill me. Two for the price of one…always the better deal."
"You aren't," the female said. "And I'm right."
"Does it matter?" I snapped. "Just TAKE my life, for God's sake. I don't want it. And before you kill someone who really wants to live, just take mine."
"Your smell,' the man said. "It's got something to it. It won't let us…only reason I really caught you actually."
"Only reason I told him to," the female corrected.
Seeing how this was getting me nowhere, and before my thoughts could return to me, I started walking away. This was pointless, and pretty soon an unnecessary subject would be brought up that I didn't want to take any part in.
"Wasn't Victoria looking for you?" the female then asked. And I froze at her words…Victoria, I knew, wanted to do something worse than kill me. I might live if I stayed there, in eternal torment or whatever. I couldn't live with that.
"Take me for yourself," I challenged, turning around to face the couple. "I don't mind. Only human to ever say so." Sadly, they were too pondered in thought to accept it.
I continued to walk away. They were talking though, I knew, behind hushed breaths which I couldn't make out. Though talking about me, I knew. And hopefully ending my life for me.
My enthusiasm sparked to a dead high.
"I have a better idea," Julie now said, grinning happily. "This could be of some fun actually, keeping you alive."
"What?" I asked. They weren't going to kill me, I thought. "What do you mean?"
"We'll use you as bait then Bella," the male said. "Victoria's a friend of ours of course…and the Cullens- why, everyone knows about them. Largest clan around. They'd do anything, I know. Especially that boy…" he trailed off, lost in thought once again.
"That's ridiculous," I pointed out. "He doesn't care about me, despite what he thinks. He's not going to do anything."
"He will!" Julie's voice echoed- the excitement in her voice pouring. I could see she was looking for a thrill, and now had finally found it.
"What are you saying," I asked.
"You're like something rare," James said, hugging his Julie to his chest, and grinning wickedly at me once more, "And this will be fun. Like blackmail," he smiled.
"They'll kill you," I pointed out. "They-"
"Not with you though," he interrupted. "We know what extents they can go to protect a human…especially the-"
But then he stopped, and I confused- continued to stare at them, fully turning my body around to look at them. They seemed to be lost in thought and turning around, for some unapparent reason.
"Wait!" I called after them. There was still a chance they might kill me- but then I realized in horror, that they wanted me to live longer…using me as bait- making me wait endless hours in which I knew I would think only about one thing- person actually- in particular. And then they turned around.
"Yes!" the female crowed. "We can-" but then she stopped again, and the couple turned around and continued to walk away, several times twitching and so forth as they continued…
I, confused, continued to stare after them. They were walking at a dead on- human's pace. I didn't understand it…and as they walked into the wood, and thanks to the beginning of day night, I couldn't see them anymore. I looked after them, as Jasper emerged.
"Jasper," I croaked.
"Yeah," he said, running a hand through his hair.
"What is it?"
"You can't leave him…"
"You can't take me back," I bargained.
To which he replied, "Watch me."
And all of a sudden, my world collapsed. I didn't want to ruin his life, he was probably already back to being a vampiric thing, his body already being used to it. He was probably fine and happy, happier then he'd ever been before now, and finally grateful that I was gone. The nuisance in his life.
And now, here was Jasper- the reason Edward wanted to leave me in the first place. Here was Jasper, wanting to take me back to him. Back to ruining his life.
And as I thought through all of this, I realized there was no going back. Jasper, his eyes, I saw- were peach.
Somehow the Volturi had made it that my blood rejected their kind.
And now here I was, about to do the one thing I never thought I'd do. Destroy someone, destroy the one and only person I loved.
Edward's View-
The Volturi were being ridiculous, I knew. I knew I could get them mad, mad at me of course. And then they'd end my life.
And then I'd be happy.
And then Bella would be happy.
And then all would work out in her favor.
She wouldn't have to deal with me anymore, me who had ruined her life, almost killed her.
Me, who I knew, she was more than willing to die for at a certain point.
And that wouldn't happen now, I knew. Bella could be happy.
I could be happy.
I could be dead.
