Hey, sorry if this chapter is confuzzling. It switches POVs a lot, but I wanted to show how miserable Bella is and what's happening in the outside world and stuff. Plus I have super good news for any Edward lovers!!

BPOV

I'm not sure how long I'd been sitting here, in the cramped corner of my cell. Time has no measure when your life is meaningless. This can't even be called a life- just a tortured existence.

I do know I haven't eaten since a week before I left for Italy with my family. That time seems like a dream. All I do all day is sit here, curled up on the ground, staring blankly at the wall.

If I could be, I would be dead.

EPOV (A/N: Surprise!)

I'm nearly delirious from hunger. I haven't seen my Bella in longer than I can remember. The Volturri haven't needed me for my power yet, and I wouldn't be much good either because I only have enough energy to sit here. Every couple of days, Felix or Demitri comes in with a poor, terrified human, trying to get me to eat something, but I refuse to give them the satisfaction of breaking my will. All I have left is my pride.

I hope Bella at least escaped safely. My family has probably forgotten me by now…

Alice POV

When Bella never came out that dark night in Italy, we didn't know what to do. All we knew was that we had to do something. So Emmett, Jasper, Rose and I returned home to Forks where we told Esme and Carlisle what had happened. We all ran to Denali, and these past two months have been spent finding every vegetarian vampire coven in the world. Our family and the Denali coven are the biggest, but there are a surprising number of little nomadic groups of two, three or four roaming around.

Right now I'm in Japan with Jasper. Emmett and Rosalie are somewhere in northern Europe, and Carlisle and Esme are in Hawaii. We've covered all of the US, all of Australia and all of Africa. Carlisle and Esme are next searching South America, and the rest of us are finishing the continents we're on. In about another month, we'll have a huge army. Then we'll go to Italy and get Edward and Bella out, no matter what.

Aro POV

This is so annoying! We go through so much trouble to get Christoph to agree to work with us, and we get our hands on Isabella and even Edward, and now we can't even use them! Their resistance to eat is getting a little old. Yeah, yeah, we all know they have souls, they don't want to be monsters, blah blah blah. There's a war starting up somewhere in Mexico that we need to go down and break up pretty 

soon. If we can just show Bella how much she'd be helping us if she comes, and get her to refuel, it would make our lives so much easier. I'll go and talk to her…

Christoph POV

Ahh! I don't know what to do! I can't bear to see those poor vampires suffer. They aren't even allowed to see each other! One even thinks the other is dead! I have to do something to help them, but I'll definitely be killed if I make one move. After I tried to help Bella escape last time, Aro almost fed me to the flames with poor Lucas.

The two captives aren't even eating, they act repulsed whenever I bring someone in. Even I hate to kill innocent humans, but what are we supposed to do? It's not as if there's any other way to live.

This has been going on for too long. I'll go to Bella today.

So that was a super mini chapter, but it was a pretty good surprise, huh? I could never ever actually kill Edward. In case you didn't catch what happened, Aro knew he needed some way to make Bella more passive and less resisting, so she would give up and do his bidding. But he didn't really want to kill Edward, cause he wanted his power. So he had his minions kill a random man on his guard (Lucas). As he was going to get Bella and show her (with a bunch of other Volturi vamps), Christoph visited Bella to help her escape (hence the rope ladder). But Bella didn't realize what Christoph's intentions were, and she ran away. Well, you know what happens after that…

Thanks so so much to all my awesome reviewers! You rock! Especially babygirljen6, potterhead0013, EdwardsLove1901, and wishful teardrop! (and of course all the people I told to read this :))

I'm so happy that people are actually reading this, but if you don't review, how do I know what you think? (answer: I DON'T) So even though I feel a teensy bit greedy asking for readers AND reviewers, I'm gonna do it anyway. C'mon, if you've written a story you know, if you haven't I'll tell you: getting reviews feels really really good! So please?

I think I'll stop before my A/N gets longer than my chapter :). (A likely possibility)
