As all eyes watched Jane and Jacob flit away, they could not move an inch from watching the spot they had disappeared into. I instantly filled with anger, angry at Felix. Angry at the Volturi. Angry for Edward. Bella, get off of him. There may be a way out of this.

It was Edwards voice, who was he to tell me what to do? I wanted to hurt Felix for what he did to Edward and for how he was treating us. I ignored Edward and turned slowly towards Felix, my conclusion still to kill Felix.

Bella, we might be able to get out of this.

'No we won't Edward.' I spat back. I instantly regretted it because his thoughts showed his hurt. For the first time Alice spoke up. 'Aro, why did you not stop Jane from going and yet you will not let Bella leave you?' Her tone had thick implications to it and when I searched her thoughts, I could tell she knew how this was to end up. I backed off of Felix and he got up and wiped mud from his shirt.

Aro himself, was greatly confused, we had won him over. He couldn't explain them leaving and yet, he couldn't explain not keeping them here.

With a quick, distilled movement Marcus stepped forward towards Aro, and held his hand out. Obviously recognizing this movement Aro, touched his hand.

As Aro read Marcus' mind, I saw how Marcus was telling him the strength of Edward and mines relationship, and then telling it of Felix and I. Aro's eyes looked over us suspiciously and they moved from Edward to Felix.

Aro's and Marcus' thoughts changed to Jane and Jacob's relationship. They were only vaguely familiar with werewolves and the imprinting process, yet they decided to let them go as only now did they see the strength coming from their relationship.

I stood next to Edward holding his waist, hoping that he would keep me together and he would help my despair.

Edward was searching their thoughts, as was I.

Realizing Edward and mine scrutiny Aro spoke quickly as to keep us out of his next decision.

I turned to Alice for some support and she was holding Jasper and feeling reflectively confident towards the situation. I trusted her confidence.

'Edward, Bella. Felix.'-he put a different tone on Felix's name, as a parent would to imply a child that they were in big trouble-'it is decided that I shall let Bella'-grimace-'stay with Edward. It's a great loss to us, and we shall always be welcoming you back Bella. And if this is your choice, to stay with these Cullen's, then so be it.'

Edward squeezed the side of my waist, in relief. I knew we would later dwell on the relief we felt. Aro turned to Carlisle this time, and held his hands out.

'Carlisle, many apologies and great respect. I'm sorry we were an inconvenience to your time. We will be leaving now.'

Carlisle nodded in the form of accepting.

Jasper instantly threw a happier vibe towards the whole of us. I turned to Felix who was stood there hanging his head.

He looked up.

'How could you just take him back like this Bella?' he begged again.

The memories hit me back instantly, forming a large whole in my chest where the thought of Edward and Tanya still lingered.

Felix pointed to his head. 'Look what he did to you.'

His thoughts turned to me; it was causing me pain this time. To know how hard it hurt when I walked in here for the last time in a human form.

Edward sensed this and he hugged me, trying to shield me away from the sound of Felix's voice. It wouldn't work though.

'He's brain-washing you Bella.' His pleas were pitiful.

I looked up at Edward and his face was distorted as was mine. I stepped away from him, wanting no more to hear of my hurt. I clutched myself in pain, Jasper was stepping forward now.

'Bella, it's alright.' He said, he knew what I was feeling.

Aro gestured for all of the Volturi to leave, they followed and lastly Felix turned and stalked out.

I lifted my head to watch and he merely turned around to think one last thing. He doesn't deserve you Bella.

I looked swiftly to Edward, and he had his jaw tightened, fists clenched and he was looking down. I stepped backward, not knowing what to make of the situation.

And I ran out, out of the house. Out of sight, and even though I hoped for it to be this way, not out of mind.

I didn't stop running until I came to the meadow, I collapsed on the swaying grass, gasping and wanting to cry.

How could I deal with this? I wanted to hold Edward, but he was feeling the same as I was, he knew how he had hurt me. And he didn't know how to deal with it.

I lay down, turning towards the blackening clouds, waiting for them to spill. When that moment finally came, I sobbed loudly into nowhere. I wanted to cry, yet I knew I couldn't. I wished I could, and I pound my fists on the floor in desperation. Maybe the rain would wash me away.

Don't worry.. It's not finished yet. If you remember rightly, and if you review nicely, he asked her to marry him. And people, I wouldn't keep beautiful Edward sad for much longer than one chapter.. :)
