Chapter 8 Reunion

Vampire Bella's POV

"Edward." I breathed out, as he came to the door.

"Demetri, Felix, I'll take care of this." He told them with authority.

"Yes sir." They obeyed him right away.

"Bella, what, how, how are, how is this possible? Where did you go? How are you here now? Where have you been?" How is this possible? Was this, could this be my human timeline Edward?

"Edward, what is going on? Where is Carlisle and your family? Why are your eyes red, Edward?"

He threw his arms around me and hugged me with such force it actually hurt. I went limp in his arms and held on to him for dear life.

"Right, so lovers reunion. I love a happy ending like everyone else, but this isn't an ending. You see there are lots of questions I have and I think you can help us out with those." The Doctor said.

Edward's head snapped up and looked at the Doctor for a while. "Why can't I read your thoughts?"

"Excuse me?"

Guess I never got to that part about being a vampire. "Edward can read the thoughts of those he is near. Vampires sometimes have a gift or ability, beyond speed, strength and enhanced senses. I am a mental shield, Edward can't read my thoughts and it seems he can't read yours either."

"Bella, how are you here, where did you go?" He was sounding more and more desperate to know the truth.

"Right, everyone in and we can have a little chat and figure all this out."

I walked up the ramp, Edward following blindly. Once we are both in the doors close behind us. I heard the familiar sound of the TARDIS moving again. But this time it stopped very quickly.

"So, Edward, what happened here? This is not the Earth 3000AD that it is supposed to be." The Doctor got down to business.

"First who are you? And just how is this box so big on the inside?"

"Right, let's get those questions out of the way. My name is the Doctor. This is the TARDIS. It stands for Time And Relative Dimension In Space. I am a time traveler and have been around for over 900 years. But that out there was not suppose to happen."

"Well Doctor I am Edward Cullen. A vampire and member of the Volturi's Elite Guard and I have been around for over 1100 years."

"OH, first time I ever meet someone older than me."

"As for what happened, we just got tired of living in the shadows. About 500 years ago we came out to the public, a little at a time. With every new generation we become more and more accepted. We now live free in all Italy. Humans live among us, most of the sick and dying come here to either be turned or our food. We still hunt like we use to around the world. Humans have tried to create defensive weapons against us. We even had a yearlong war, a few months after we announced ourselves. After most of their forces were killed and eaten they understood the futility of fighting us. Now we have a truce of sorts. We have used our talents to help the world in some ways. Crime all over the world is down. There are few prisons left as most crimes are a death sentences, carried out immediately. We are the executioners."

"Why did this happen?" I asked. "Carlisle, did he go along with this, what about Esme and Alice and Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper? What happened to them?"

Edward turned sad, sadder than I have ever seen him. "After you disappeared I could no longer live with them, with myself. I ran, disappeared. I took a month to get to the Volturi. I wanted to die; I figured you were dead, so I was going to follow. Only they gave me an alternative, a different life style. I wanted different I craved it, so I agreed to join them. But where did you go? You aren't dead and you're a vampire. How did that happen?"

"When we were at the garden, those statues that were there are called Weeping Angels. Aliens from a different world that live on the life force of others, by sending them back in time." This was getting complicated. I now have two timeline Edward's. One that was a vampire only knew me as human and one that meet me when we were both human, then became vampires together. It would seem I have truly met up with the first timeline Edward and he left his family because I disappeared.

"So you went back in time and then became a vampire?" He asked.

"She did. Funny story, I actually meet her when she went back. It was quite by accident; at least I think it was, but now I am not so sure. The TARDIS landed about five minutes before Bella appeared, seemingly for no reason." The Doctor seemed to be lost in thought for a moment and now I was too.

Could he have arrived just to greet me, but why? He did say that the TARDIS kinda does its own thing. But why would it appear before a plain human girl?

"Edward, you said you left your family and went to visit the Volturi, who are they?" The Doctor asked.

"The ruling class of vampires, the ones that maintain order and punish transgressors. A thousand years ago if someone exposed themselves to the humans the Volturi would have been the ones to kill that vampire and humans before it would become public knowledge. Over the last 500 years though their minds seem to have been changed, it was slow, at first. It began when I discovered a small town where the vampire was like the mayor. He was well liked and though everyone knew about him they did not fear him as he would help them. If there was a murder in the town he would feed from the murderer. When Aro saw this his thoughts began to shift. He suddenly decided he wanted this life. Then one day someone exposed himself in the sunlight."

Edward paused as if lost in his thoughts. "It was then that Aro started to let vampire sightings slide. Eventually we became known as real and living among humans. A century later Aro formally announced our presence to humans and when they learned of the Volturi the humans sent a large army to defeat them. Nearly one million humans descended on Volterra. With the most advanced weapons of the day. They were no match for the forces Aro had at his disposal. It was bloody. Human casualties were in the thousands everyday and we lost a hand full a month. By the end of the year the humans lost 98% of their forces and we had lost less than a hundred."

He took a deep breath. "Aro then address the governments of the world and they established a truce. Basically it said that if any army attacked Volterra again the vampires of the world would wipe out all inhabitants of that country, military and civilian. Since then only rebels with no allegiance to any country have ever attacked a vampire. Since the war humans have come to accept us in some small ways and as I said, with each passing generation things get better."

"You always called me a bad liar. But I can tell there is more." I called him out.

He nodded very solemnly. "The Volturi are the rulers of the world now. They are in every major government, mostly from behind the scenes, so the general human population is led to believe that they are still in control. There are now breeding farms in small towns. Most of the humans we have here are from those towns. They are breed like livestock. Born, to a mother, raised until they are ten sent to Italy to do menial tasks, but at any moment they could be eaten and no one says anything about it. Sure we have thousands that come willingly, those that are about to die from disease or old age and want to end it quickly. But the thoughts of those that are cattle, lifeless, hopeless, meaningless existence. It is times like this that I hate having my ability."

The Doctor was just listening, listening and waiting. "Edward, where is Carlisle, Esme and your brothers and sisters?" I have asked several times, but have not gotten a straight answer.

"Gone." He breathed out.

"W- What?" I could not believe it. I can't imagine a world without Edward in it, but it is nearly as hard to imagine Carlisle ceasing to exist.

"Carlisle did not like the way Aro was doing things. He tried to stand up to them, gathered many that also thought the Volturi were going down the wrong path. I was not told about it, though I heard it from other's thoughts, they were all killed, Jane, Alec, Felix and half the guard, nearly 100 vampires went and faced Carlisle and his thirty vampire army, they were all killed and burned, over 300 years ago."

I fell to my knees. Dead, the family that I loved so much is dead. I started shaking. It was not something I was prepared to hear, would have ever imagined. I let go and my human memories of the life before I was sent back in time and my life with my family as a vampire came flooding into my mind. Allowing all the memories to come at me at once.

"Bella, what is that? I can read your mind?" I looked up and his red eyes were staring into mine.

"For some time now, yes. I went back to Chicago, 1917 and meet an Edward Anthony Mason with green eyes and messy reddish hair that wanted to join the war. Only when we meet he fell in love with a girl he barely knew and we got married. Soon afterwards he was about to die of the Spanish Influenza and a man by the name of Carlisle Cullen saved him, then turned me as I would not be parted from my husband. When the Angel touched me I went back to your human timeline. We lived happily from that point on until he went to Forks. I could not go with you as I cannot cross my own timeline. So I have to wait until I am sent back before rejoining them."

"Bella that never happened; I never meet you when I was human and you never returned to me."

"Time," The Doctor said. "Time is always in flux never constant, well maybe for a vampire, but not the rest of the world. You see everything is happening because of Bella. I was wondering how this was possible, how something so major could go unnoticed by a Time Lord, the last Time Lord. After listening to your stories I think I have it sorted out."

The Doctor pushes a few buttons on the control panel and turned a screen toward us. "Earth timeline, from the beginning of time until July of 2005," he point to a split, "July 2005 the timeline fractures and splits. I most cases, all cases the timeline continues, no one is the wiser for it, but here there are two timelines, two Earths in the same space separated by a fraction of time. This is something new, something that should not happen.

"You are saying that I don't remember Bella from my human days because as far as I am concerned she literally disappeared without a trace, never to be heard from again, in my timeline. But there is another alternate timeline when I meet her as a human, when we are both human and we live happily ever after."

"Yes, essentially that is exactly what happened. Somehow, maybe because you are vampires the timeline split. The TARDIS does not get involved with fixed points in time. Jack was a traveler with me a while back, but he was brought back to life using the power of the time vortex. There is no telling how long he will live as he cannot die by any means other than old age. We ran into a bit of a mess trying to shake him off because no matter what time we go to he will be there, as would vampires it seems. But the TARDIS picked Bella's human timeline in 1917, found her after the Angel touched her and again in 2002 in London following that same timeline."

He took off his coat and threw it on the chair; neither Edward nor I had moved a millimeter. "So it stands to reason that this world is wrong. I have traveled to this plant for 900 years covering billions of years in history. Never have I encountered a vampire, past, present or future. What changed? In the thousand years since Bella went back in time any number of a trillion things could have happened, but what event could have the biggest influence on vampires? Bella tells me you are immortal, but you can die. So even though you are a fixed point you're not eternal. So what is it that split the timeline? I think when Bella left, Edward's desire for change was so strong that it might have influenced the whole of creation. He desired things to be different and now they are more different than ever before."

"You are saying I caused this?" Edward sound like he was about to laugh out loud at the absurdity of it all.

"Yes, no, sort of." The Doctor was now at a loss for words. "I am saying that a chain of events lead you to the Volturi and then more events lead you to meet the Vampire Mayor. That meeting influenced your leader Aro to recreate what that vampire had achieved. It would be like driving a car and coming to an intersection. Which way do you turn? There is a bug that can change your life in your mind by changing your mind in the past and feed on the energy that is given off by the different choices in your life, the choice you didn't make. I think this is similar. Something changed and this whole parallel world sprang up around you two. Kept apart by time, the one thing you both have lots of, enough to where you could wait for eternity, but you have been separated by the touch of an Angel. The timeline split, so Bella could catch up to you and the TARDIS knew this and that is why we are here."

"While I am overjoyed at the fact that Bella is back in my life Doctor I think you are stretching it a little. Things aren't going to magically go back to the time before vampires came out and if they did, it would take a lot longer than a thousand years for them to do so. Not to mention now that vampires are public knowledge many vampires are living much longer. In the past nomads would only live as long as they were happy. If they got to bored they would get themselves killed. Now that they are public knowledge they are finding new ways to entertain themselves. So if you would please to take us back to Volterra now, I would greatly appreciate catching up with Bella."

"Edward, I am not going with you. Were you not listening, you are not the Edward I married and have lived with for 80 years. That Edward, my Edward is waiting on me to return in 2005."

"You are coming back with me." Edward turned cold all of a sudden; he was no longer the vampire I knew and loved, but someone else, something else.

I knew that I could not cross him here with the Doctor in such close proximity. While I have been training and sparing with my Edward and my brothers and sisters, this Edward was a member of the Volturi for the last thousand years, I didn't stand a chance and if he killed the Doctor I really would be staying with this Edward, forever.
