BELLA

So, the treaty has been broken. But that was never my problem. I fled into the trees, knocking against a couple for fun. Edward zoomed behind me as Jacob hounded behind also.

"Can you keep up?" I teased. I came into a clearing and wheeled around to observe my "playmates" once again. "Hey, you weren't invited!" I frowned.

Indeed, beside Edward were the whole Cullen clan and the pack formed behind Jacob. Anger boiled over me as a storm brewed overhead.

"Bella, please try to control yourself," Carlisle informed. I just waved him away and continued on my rampage.

"This power…it's just too great to give up. Now, I don't have to feel so useless. Edward, I no longer need a babysitter," I purred. Growls erupted from the pack. "Can it, mongrels, before I have you stuffed," I warned. Then, the power slowly washed over me, clouding my mind, and blinding my vision.

Subconsciously, I fought against this. Physically, I had no more control over my actions. My mind separated from my body as it fought to gain back control. Carlisle was right. I needed to control myself. My Mr. Hyde state fell in and out of power. But I had let this power go on too far.

This war was not between vampire and werewolf. This was not over the treaty. This wasn't even over my two loves feuding. This war was between me and my power. Me and myself. And right now, it was winning.

EDWARD

An electrical storm gathered over her. She was letting this power beat her. I had to save her.

"Don't Edward," Carlisle warned. "She is very unstable. She could do a lot more damage than we have anticipated."

But I had no other choice. She was my love, my eternity, and essentially my problem. She was a hazard to herself. I had to prepare to save her.

"Edward, they are coming. For her," Alice spoke distantly. I understood exactly what she meant. The Volturi were coming to get Bella. Her disturbances must have caught their attention. "Edward, if you don't do something now, they will execute her."

I shuddered. Bella just didn't know what she has got herself into. I had to save her. I had to be brave. I could see her conflicting against her inner power. I felt like Frankenstein. I created this monster and now I regretted. Why did she want to be a vampire? I knew she couldn't handle it.

Soon, she stared out around her. She was reviewing what she had done. I looked at the werewolves. They were closing in on her, stupid to do. She paralyzed them with a glare. The power was creeping back. I knew I only had a small window of opportunity.

I cautiously strolled towards her. I didn't know what to expect. I couldn't tap into her mind for she was blocking me. I spread my arms up in peace, but she thought it was a funny gesture.

"Edward…" her voice flooded my mind. "Edward…come over and play..." she continued to fill my mind. I tried to ignore her to let her know what was coming, but she didn't hear me. "Edward, are you willing to die?" she spoke out loud. I couldn't understand why she thought I was going to die. She needed to know her immortality was in jeopardy.

"Bella…" I whispered. I tired to make her understand. I looked onto her. My beautiful Bella was inside there somewhere struggling to escape. I wanted to touch her cheek, but she smacked my hand away. I guess I deserve that. I have been rude to her. "Bella…" I whispered again. I had to make her see. I could see her anger rolling back across her.

I grabbed her wrists to help her fight, but all she did was fight against me. I tackled her to the ground and a string of profanities passed her lips.

"Bella, you have to control yourself," I hissed. But her thoughts were elsewhere. I knew the Volturi would be here soon. I just needed to get her to see.

"Bella, you can't let this power control you." Lightening struck. She looked into my face confused at why I still pressed the issue.

"Edward, I can't," she hissed back.

"Bella, we can help you, save you..." I pleaded.

She shook my head. This was my last chance. The only way I knew how…

"You have to control yourself, Bella. You're hurting everyone. Your family, Jacob. Bella, you're hurting me." I whispered. She looked up again at the mess, the mayhem.

"Edward…" she whispered.

I awaited the answer. I hoped it helped.

"Kill me…"

That was not the answer I wanted.

"Kill her?" I thought; how could I possibly harm her?

"There has to be another way, love…" I reasoned. She continued to stare into my eyes. Her eyes were ebony colored and her beautiful visage was only a rigid grimace.

"Edward, look at what I've done. The Volturi would never forgive this…I'm sorry. I need you to help me, cure me. Stay with me." She whispered. I looked onto her in understanding as I shielded her from the showering rain. But all too soon she slipped under into a coma to confront her own mind. I knew at this time the only thing I could do, was wait for her to find herself again.

"Well, well, well, we've seen to have stumbled upon the source of our little problem," Jane sneered. I advanced before her, growling as I rose up to interrupt her view of Bella, who lied hopelessly. The Volturi crossed the clearing, their entourage already preceding them. Aro stepped in between our standoff and raised a frail hand to halt the hostility in the air. He cleared his throat.

"You seem to already know we are here for the girl. I knew she would be special, but she was on the verge of being 'dangerous.' Now, before I go on anything farther, the werewolves need to be escorted," Aro commanded. Jane and Demetri turned to the wolf pack, stiffen in stance.

"Sam, it's for the best," I hinted. He understood. Bella was a war of her own; we didn't need another to start to cause a world war. Relaxing in stature, the pack slowly filed away into the forest. Jacob hesitated, but soon retreated as well.

"Their smell is just horrendous," Aro muttered under his breath. He chuckled and then suddenly turned to me, returning to a formal demeanor. "I have received word that our little, Bella here,"— motioning to her – "has been making a lot of ruckus with herself. Ordinarily, I would have come to give her our rules. But, then I remembered she knew. You know the rules, Edward. So, I have come to handle the situation," finished.

Anger fell over me as I realized their plans. But Bella was just confused with herself; she doesn't deserve to be disposed of. But then again, did all those newborns deserve to die? The Volturi was very strict on their rules, but maybe they would make an exception…

"If you, Edward, would be so kind as if to excuse me," Aro motioned. I shifted to the side, leaving Bella exposed. He was very curious, so I guess it would help him understand our situation. He reached out to touch her temple as his eyes dilated in reverie. At his touch, her eyes alerted in a flash of various colors, as if she was being electrocuted. But in a second, she returned to her anesthetized state and her eyes resumed to their lost stare. Moments passed before his hand returned to his side. "Very interesting," he murmured amusingly. "Even though she is extremely powerful – more powerful than me – I was given the chance to catch a glimpse of her mind. Terribly disturbing…" he said with worry replacing his tone. "Rapid thoughts zoomed in and out of her troubled soul. She's lost in her own mind."

I already knew what was going through her head; she was trying to fight against her power, to gain control. "Aro, she is trying to fight the power that's been causing all of this…mayhem. She's confused and the power is frightening. Yes, she is more powerful than us, but right now, she's vulnerable. That's the only reason why you were able to read her thoughts. She's opening her mind to anything that can help. She wants…she wants to be killed," I choked out. I was basically giving them permission to destroy the only person I ever loved.

"Yes, yes, that was our original intention, but I'm willing to help your cause. It would terrible to waste such a talented mind," Aro spoke. Then, he turned to his brothers, who nodded in agreement. I looked at my family who came over to understand the matter.

With the help of the Volturi, my family and I drew up a plan to resurrect the Old Bella.

The only thing that could hinder the plan was if the New Bella fought back in full force…
