I would like to thank all the reviews that I received, it really means a lot that you all like my story. And to the anonymous reviewer Stephanie, thank you for your advice, I will defiantly try to follow some of the things you mentioned. But, lol, I know Edward could have killed Victoria easily, I mean its Edward, but this is my story so I decided for Victoria to be just a little bit stronger. And the man that was with Victoria was a lot stronger then any of them put together; if it wasn't for that man then Edward probably would have killed her. But like I said, I will defiantly take your advice into consideration.
Anyways, on with the story!

If we lived in a perfect world, there would be peace on earth, nobody would starve, the violence would stop, and I would own the Twilight series. Sadly, we live in a flawed world were none of those things are true. What are we going to do about it?

Weight of the World
By Evanescence
Feels like the weight of the world
Like all my screaming has gone unheard
And oh I know you don't believe in me
Safe in the dark, how can you see?
Ch.6 No Hope
BPOV
I felt my body inching itself closer towards the howl, like an electric force pulling me closer and closer. My hands were clenched around each other tightly, my agonized eyes searching for the russet wolf.
I couldn't help but doubt that it was Jacob. What if it was just some other werewolf pack? It was possible. I'm sure Jacob and his pack were not the only werewolves living.
It was almost too good to be true, like I was dreaming. But I still felt myself hoping beyond hope that I was right, that I didn't kill any of them. I implored that I was right, and maybe if they are alive, then…could Edward…be alive?
My body took another step closer to the forest, my eyes still searching.
If Aro was lying about this, could he be lying about Edward too?
"Why are we still here?!" Jane's perturbed voice brought me out of my thoughts. I looked behind me and saw all three of them standing in a close circle, all eyes fearful for what was coming.
I smiled.
Even though Heidi's eyes showed fear, her voice came out confident. "Can't we just attack? I'm sure they can't out beat us."
"Oh yes, we could easily take them"-
"Then why are we not doing anything!" Jane interrupted Felix, throwing her hands up in the air. I turned my head away from them, anxiously waiting for the people that I longed to see.
"Because," Felix brought his voice so low I had to strain my ears to hear him, "Then Isabella will know."
After Felix had uttered those four words, everything became deadly silent. The only thing I could hear was the pounding on the earths ground getting louder and faster as my breathing grew more still.
I could see their lips moving, but it was useless because I already knew what they were saying, what they were planning.
A gentle breeze slowly blew my hair around my face as I turned slightly towards them. It was pointless for me to try and stop them; they are more skilled in ways that I can not imagine. I got lucky back at the house.
Jane took off to the right towards the direction of the house as Felix and Heidi now were looking at me. I could see their lips moving again, but the only thing I heard was the thumping against the ground.
Then Felix's broke through my soundless mind, his voice shattering everything that I hoped for, everything I longed to happen.
"Get her."
It all happened so quickly I wasn't even sure my eyes saw correctly. One minute I was standing alone, and then the next I felt pairs of strong, stone arms capturing my hands and legs and shoving me to the ground on my stomach with strength I could not even imagine possible.
Snarls erupted from me as I tried to free my self from their grasp but they quickly put my hands together, already knowing what I was trying to do. As I struggled to free my hands from them, to my astonishment, they started to drag me away fairly quickly.
I thrashed violently against them, but they precluded everything I did.
I was getting desperate; I started to kick but to no avail, they simply held onto me more tightly.
They were taking me back to that hell whether I liked it or not.
Despair quickly flooded through my body as I frantically tried to release their grip but they started to run faster with me in their arms. I tried again to reposition my hands but it felt like hard, iron chains were securely fastened around my wrists.
They pulled me quickly through the trees, acting totally oblivious to my struggles against them. I jerked to the right and left, thrashing my body, but it was no use, they were just too strong.
I suddenly realized that I could barely hear the pounding- no I couldn't hear it at all. I attempted to twist my head backwards but a forceful jerk on both of my arms and legs made it an impossible task.
Then my body felt like it was flying through the air for a brief amount of time; I couldn't feel the ground beneath my feet, but I could still feel the iron hands grasping me. My back collided with something hard and wet, my head snapping backwards at the force.
My eyes focused on a furious Felix and Heidi, their hands clinging onto me with such force that if I was human half my bones probably would have been broken.
Heidi's blonde hair was no longer the perfect golden locks I have always seen her in, it was a wild mess, some twigs and leafs clung on to the ends while dirt stuck to her flawless face, her eyes wild and anxious but furious all the same.
Felix was in the same shape as Heidi; it looked like he just jumped into a pile of mud, but with his olive complexion he looked like model posing. The only difference was his eyes glinted with metallic anger as he looked at me.
I glared at both of them, my throat forming a snarl, my lip curling over my teeth.
Felix shook his head at me, half irritated and half perplexed. "We will discuss your disobedience later, but right now we are leaving." He emphasized the last word.
"No." I snarled.
"No?" He started to laugh, shaking his head in disbelief. "I wouldn't be arguing with us Isabella. You made a deal remember? If you leave, your mother pays."
The breath whooshed out of me. I stood frozen in shock at what he just said. The conversation I had with Aro came flooding back into my mind as though it was happening all over again.
"I am afraid, "Aro said, "That I can not let you do that." I turned around and gave him an incredulous look.
"You're in no position to be threatening me." I growled, taking a step towards him. I was in no mood to be apart of this old man's silly games any longer.
"Actually it is the opposite, "He said an amused look written on his face, "You see, that girl, oh what was her name….Victoria! Yes that is it, any ways, she told me all about you, your family, and your closest friends. So if you leave, let's just say we will be paying your little…mother a visit."
I shook my head, trying to shake off the awful truth at his words. If I leave, they will kill my mother. Funny how the universe works; finally I get my chance at freedom and it is viciously taken from me.
"Don't be stupid Isabella," Heidi whispered, pulling me back to reality. I shook my head again. I was so frustrated with myself; here I was, so close of escaping and their forcing me to stay.
All of a sudden, there was an enraged howl that came from the right of us. By the sound of it, all of us could tell they were getting closer. Heidi and Felix never bothered to look like I did; they kept their eyes right on me as of their hands, waiting.
It felt like the weight of my world was on my shoulders now, waiting for my next move too. If I ran away from them, I would be happy. I would be free from their grasp, and I would get to see Jacob again (if it was Jacob.) I wouldn't have to abide to their rules, I would be free. But if I did leave right now, then I am putting my mother's life on the line for my stupid mistake. Would I be able to get to her before Aro did? Would I be able to protect her from the monsters that wanted to hurt her?
This was a difficult decision to make; if I choose freedom, then Renee would probably die.
Off in the distance, I could hear the wolves approaching fairly quickly.
Reluctantly, I whispered to them. "Fine…I will go back."
Felix's face was priceless; he looked like he just won a war while Heidi's was still anxious, probably wanting to get out of here fast.
At first they seemed hesitant to let go of my hands, but once they made sure that I wasn't going to take off they released me. I just wanted to crawl in a hole and never come out. In the end, all my hoping, all my pleading…it meant nothing. I wasn't getting away from them, no matter how much I longed to.
"Come on!" Heidi urgently whispered to me, waiting for me to start running. I looked behind me for one last time; I absorbed the scenery, taking in everything. I watched as a signal leaf fell from the lushes green trees. I watched it as it gently landed against the earth's surface, making no noise what so ever.
Then with a final sigh, I ran after Felix with Heidi following shortly behind. I actually had to slow down my pace because I was in danger of passing Felix. We didn't have to run very far; I could see Jane waiting in the black Mercedes for us, tapping her fingers against the dashboard.
When we were in clear view of her, she turned her head around and looked straight at me, but instead of glaring, she was smiling mischievously, like she had a secret.
I ignored her and got into the back seat as Heidi slid gracefully by me and Felix in the passenger seat. Jane revved the engine and took off, still smiling.
"So," Jane said, going faster then the speed limit, acting casual. "I have some news that might be very interesting to you Isabella."
"I doubt anything you have to say is interesting to me." I replied, looking out the window again.
Her high soprano laugh filled the car. "This is very interesting, I can assure you. When you decided to attack us, an idea hatched in my head. I had told Felix and Heidi of it, and now I am telling you why exactly you should fear going back to Italy. "
I was still looking out the window, but that didn't seem to bother her as we sped by the mossy trees. She continued, "You see, I called Aro and told him everything. Your betrayal towards us; how you helped that worthless coven escape from our clutches…well, you will be happy to know that Aro is furious with you. If I were in your position, I would be frightened for what awaited me." she started giggling.
I was not in the mood for this. "Jane, if you think that I am going to be scared of him then you are poorly mistaken." In fact, I couldn't wait to speak to Aro. I had a lot of questions to ask him, all revolving around one main thing. Why did he lie to me?
Jane started to say something, but my attention was elsewhere. Fear dawned on me as I realized who I was seeing in the forest. It was like the conversation I had with Demetri all over again, except I knew I was right. I couldn't believe what I was seeing; I actually had to blink to make sure my eyes were not deceiving me. Standing alone, brown hair blowing over his golden eyes, looking more real then ever, was Alan Woodlock, flesh and all.
Our eyes were locked on one another's, neither of us planning to look away. Then he titled his head to the side, looking at me curiously, like he was trying to unravel an unsolved mystery. Then he quickly vanished into the trees, leaving my mind to ponder at what just happened. But the question that seemed to bother me the most (besides the fact that he was supposed to be dead) was why was he in Washington?
Well, hear his chapter six! And before some of you might start asking me why Bella didn't just kill Felix, Heidi, and Jane with her awesome skills, let me just remind you. Bella got lucky the first time she attacked them, they were not expecting it. But considering that all of them are fairly stronger then her because they have been a vampire longer (remember, Bella is still technically a Newborn) So they are more stronger then Bella. And they had her hands pinned together so she couldn't use her power on them. But I don't know if I like this chapter that much, and I really want to type out the next one but unfortunately I am going out of town tomorrow and won't be back for 1 week. Yes I know, sad, I was really looking forward to writing the next chapter in Edward's point of view, but sadly I can't.
This is not really a big cliff hanger, it's just I didn't want to type out anymore because I would be giving too much away. So I decided that in chapter 7 probably only a page or 2 is going to be in Bella's point of view, the rest in Edward's. If you have any questions, I will be glad to answer them.
It would make me the happiest person in the world if I get over 30 reviews by the time I get back. In fact I would be so happy I would instantly sit at the computer and type out chapter 7 for all of you. You want me to happy don't you?
Just think of the 30 reviews as a Christmas gift you are giving me, except you don't have to spend any money.
Until next week!!
