A/N- Here's the super long chapter I promised… enjoy!

000000000000

I needed more time to think. With a crumpling fear, I realized I had been caught.

It was Felix.

I couldn't turn around. The fear froze me in place. All I could do was stare blankly in front of me. I heard a chuckle from behind.

Then something very cold was on my shoulder. I turned my head slowly, seeing that it was a hand; Felix's hand. I shuddered, which caused another chuckle.

"Oh Isabella, you thought you could get away. How silly of you. It actually offends us-"

He wasn't alone.

"-That you thought you could get away so easily, without getting caught. I hope that, when we are done with you, you will learn a thing or two about…"

"Vampires."

And again I shuddered.

" And that not all vampires are good guys, like your "Cullen" family. By the way, they are enjoying Voltura quite well. Especially Edward, if that's his name. He actually met a female, hmmm, they said it was love at first sight…"

NO! Edward, he- he couldn't have. Fallen in love. With someone else. The hole in my chest began to flare up. No, I should never have done this. I should have stayed and found him, and begged and begged him to take me back! I should have kissed him. I should have stayed. I should have stayed. I COULD have stayed.

I almost forgot Felix was there. He grabbed hold of both my shoulders and spun me around to where I was facing him. It took all a forth of a second.

Aro was with him. He had managed not to say anything, but he smiled casually, the anger in his eyes began to look like torch.

I was about to die.

They were going to drag me away, to the castle, and kill me. Torture me.

This would be my last time out in the sunlight. Oh how I would miss the sun, with its fiery warmth. Maybe I would see it again in heaven.

Aro began to speak,

"As Felix pointed out, it was very disrespectful, to us, that you thought we were that easy to get away from. Boy were you wrong. Felix, take the horse, return it to its master. Bella, do you have any last words?"

My mind was buzzing, but I only managed to whisper two wimpy words:

"I'm sorry."

His laughter thundered around the parking lot.

"That's quite funny, Isabella, but unfortunately for you, that's not going to work. Felix, away with the horse!"

"Okay, just don't do anything good until I come back."

They both smiled.

"Well, the good stuff won't happen until after we get into the palace."

They both chuckled.

Gulp.

Felix started leading the horse away. Suddenly I remembered I had to say goodbye.

"Wait!"

My sudden outburst stopped Felix in his tracks and caused Lightning to turn his head to face me, giving me a sad look.

I had promised I would never abandon him.

"Just please let me say goodbye to him."

Aro nodded and released his grip on me.

I slowly walked up to him.

I rested my hand on his shoulder blade; the other started rubbing his face. I traced his lightning stripe that ran down his face, and finally stroked his muzzle. He nickered and lowered his head down, giving me the opportunity to kiss him on the nose. He rested his gigantic head on my shoulder, and sighed.

This pleasure lasted only a moment before someone cleared their throat. Aro wrapped his arm around my waist and started pulling me away. I glanced back at Lightning. He looked back softly at me.

That was the last time I saw him.

He started to yank me through the still crowded streets, scaring some people as they saw his furious face. I kept my head down low…it was embarrassing enough.

I started to think about my life. I would miss my mother, my father, even Phil.

For the first time in a long time, I prayed.

I prayed that Charlie would be safe, and René and Phil happy. I told them that I loved them.

Then the Cullens. I silently thanked Esme, for giving me her gift of warmth, even for the tiniest time I had spent with her. One by one, I thanked them for protecting me, for being there.

Well, now they weren't.

I thanked Jacob too, for putting up with me through my months of torture. He would be ashamed if he looked at me now. He probably wouldn't even have known me.

Then Edward. Oh, the love of my life, the love of my existence, for infinity and beyond I will love you.

We neared the stables again. I heard a familiar voice, and when I looked up I saw that it was the portly man. He was looking at me with sad green eyes, he knew I was caught. He shook his head and gave me a weak smile.

We reached the long stairs that led up to the front entrance. Before I could put my foot on the last step, I felt a hard rock ram into me…

My last thought was,

"I love you, Edward."

Blackness overtook me.

Edward POV

I ran helplessly around the city. I tried to read peoples minds, to see if they saw her.

No help there.

I darted left to right, trying to find that familiar face, before it was too late.

I saw an open space ahead, so I sprinted. I kept it human-paced, though. I didn't see Aro, whom I knew was with her.

~Flashback~

Alice: Edward!

I was lying in my assigned room, hopelessly staring at the empty ceiling.

Alice: Edward, I had a vision of Bella! You have to find her, before its too late!

I immediately snapped out of my trance. I looked into Alice's mind, seeing the vision.

Aro held onto Bella's waists very firmly, dragging her to the palace. Bella's face looked deep in thought, it didn't look scared like it should have. She knew she was going to die.

The vision stopped.

I jumped up, and ran out of the room.

~End Flashback~

I finally caught her scent, and followed it. It was leading to the palace. All that could run into my mind was, "too late".

There she was! She was walking up the stairs, Aro leading her. I quickly made a plan in my head.

And then I flew at them, not caring if anyone saw.

I ran straight into Bella, grabbed her, and started running bridal style, towards that way we came. To where you exit Voltura.

I thanked God that Alice had gathered my family up and they were already at the gate, waiting for us. I silently rejoiced over that fact.

I inhumanly ran through the city. I wasn't aware of being chased, so I didn't bother going any faster.

I noticed that Bella (who was unconscious) suddenly became conscious again.

Bella POV

Did he kill me already? If so, that was an easy death.

But I was cold, and something very hard was holding me. I became aware of other things, like the screaming and yelling in the distance. I also felt an adrenaline. Was this what dying felt like?

It wasn't unpleasant, so I kept my eyes shut.

"Bella."

It was a whisper, but a very familiar voice that had my heart hammering.

My eyes flew open.

He was still running, but smiling down at me.

He had saved me.
