Edward POV
The ride on the airplane was agonizing. In the hurry my family and I had been in, we thought that the plane would be faster than running. We were finding out the hard way, which consisted of staying perfectly still in our seats while the plane went so terribly slow, it seemed.
When out plane finally landed and unloaded, we realized that we didn't have a car. Oh well, we decided, we could just run. And that's just what we did, the whole way there.
We were instantly greeted by the guards Felix and Demitri. There they gave us a quick tour (though Carlisle and I didn't need one) of Voltura, then showed us the grand "castle" that they "lived" in. I had to admit, the beauty of Voltura was lovely, a sight that one could watch or see forever, without getting tired. But there was no time to foddle around.
I had come on a mission. My mission was easy: Find Bella and get her out of this horrid place. Only one important thing got in the way of that: Aro.
All the months I was away from Bella, oh my dear, lovely Bella, had been so, so, tortuous. I can't even explain it. I had rented a run down apartment so that I could curl up in a ball and dry sob all day, never not thinking about her. But I'm sure her story is worse, therefore I'm sure the Volturi have not been treating her right.
I couldn't stand all the halls and doors that made up the castle. It made everything seem that much harder.
I could almost smell my love, though I knew we were nowhere near her. Felix opened the final door that led into the "meeting" or "dining" room. There were fancy wineglass cups that held, I was sure, blood. The hunting here was easy, I would guess. My family each sat down, admiring the royal scenery. I, however, was looking frantically around for Bella, wherever she may be. When I realized she wasn't in the room, such a disappointment filled me that I almost wanted to drop dead if I could.
Then a thought entered my head: What if my love didn't want me anymore? It would make sense, I've done nothing to her but cause pain, and it would take a while to heal. But what would I do if she doesn't want me? Turn around and walk away, or beg for her forgiveness. I would never deserve to be forgiven.
Aro began to speak:
"Welcome, friends! I hope you enjoy your stay at Voltura, I haven't seen you all for so long! What a joy! You will have your own servant to rely on, so if you want her to do something then all you have to do is ask-"
Servant? Is that what Bella could be? I shouldn't get my hopes up, but something told me it would be her. I tuned in on Alice's thoughts; therefore she just had a brief vision. The vision was of Bella being our servant! But the vision of her was blurry, but apparently not to Alice. Her face suddenly became very sad.
Something was wrong with Bella.
What could it be?
Maybe they had ruined her, runned her into the ground like the devil himself would.
That's when she appeared. My angel had come; God himself had sent her to me. Of course, I smelt her scent before she came into the room, but still, it was her! All those months!
She lamely shut the door behind her, and spun around, eyes on the ground as though a child waiting to be scolded. Then she glanced up, giving me a chance to gaze into her eyes.
That was when I noticed.
Noticed what Alice had been upset about.
Noticed how Aro looked at her.
Noticed how Felix looked at her.
And finally, noticed her.
She looked: Gone. Out of it. Away from earth.
But not in the good kind of way. It was bad, very very bad. She was empty, out of fuel, out of the fuel that had made me fall for her. The steam, it was all gone. Replaced by nothing. That looked in her eyes was enough for me to start mentally bawling.
She eyed each one of us, I couldn't tell what she was thinking, but I'm sure the shock hasn't worn off yet.
Aro continued:
"Why, thank you for joining us, Bella. Though you are quite late. We shall talk later about that. Meanwhile, these are our guests. I'm sure you know them."
He gave the cruelest smile ever known, gave it right to my love. She glared at him, and then slid her eyes over every one of my family again, pausing before staring straight at me. I felt my insides start to melt. I saw her whole face transform right in front of me, from depressed to, to an expression I couldn't quite make out.
She shook her head, and before anyone knew it, she turned on her heel and scuttled out of the room.

Bella POV
I felt like I was in one of those terrible nightmares you just can't seem to escape, no matter how hard you try, they keep following you, keep hurting you, until you have no choice but let them. What else can you do, when trying to escape would harm the one you love, even if they don't love you? I was in that situation right now. There was no way out, no matter how fast I ran, I wouldn't be able to rid the nightmare. It would always be there, tearing my heart up in two, while I just lie down and let it…

Edward POV
I wanted so much to go after her, to take her by her hand and apologize, for everything, to at least have her know that I would always love her, no matter what. Not even the Volturi could get in between us. I would have her forever, forever….
So that's exactly what I did. I went after her. I could hear Aro in the background, long after I escaped the room, yelling at me to come back. I ignored him. I only concentrated on following my Bella's scent. After a couple minutes of weaving hallways, the scent came to a halt outside a door. Where would the door lead? Most likely her room, or the room she was staying in.
Most importantly, what would I say to her when I got in? Wait, what was that noise… she was crying! I could hear her. Oh, poor Bella. What had she ever done to deserve this? Well now, we would get our moment. I suddenly knew exactly what I would do.
I slowly opened the door.

Bella POV
Oh, how had everything been ruined so quickly? I can't say everything was going fine before, but all was decent, at least. Maybe not. I reached my door leading to my room, and instinctively went to my bed, burying my face in my pillow.
And I cried.
Cried for Edward leaving me.
Cried for being kidnapped.
Cried for being abused in every way.
Cried for the empty feeling of loneliness.
Lastly, I cried for the current situation I was in right now.

Edward POV
I slowly opened the door to see my lovely angel bawling on her bed. I crept over to her, and
Wrapped my arms around her.

Bella POV
Suddenly I felt a pair of strong, cold arms being wrapped around me.
Then: peace.
I titled my head around to see my one and only: angel, smiling.

Edward POV
She turned her head around, to see mine. Then I smiled. How good it felt to smile after such a long time. And this was a real smile, too. I bent my face towards her slowly….
