Author's Note:
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Wheeeeeee! ^_^
Let me know what you think of this one.

Everything came in a blur when I finally woke up.
"So, it wasn't all a dream?" I asked him, throat stinging; I hadn't had any water for a long while. He was sitting in the corner of my room, relaxed, and as strikingly beautiful as ever.
"Now, why would you think that?" he countered, smirking.
"It seemed impossible... for you to ever care about me after what happened," I confessed. Realizing what I'd said, I gasped; had I been too open? The smirk grew larger, to my relief, instead of turning into a frown. Before he could comment, however, I changed the topic.
"So, what was with the note?"
This time, his face grew confused. Not false innocence, but... puzzled.
"Pardon?"
"You left me a note."
His expression grew from confused to annoyed.
"No, I didn't," he insisted.
"Yes, you did. The writing looked exactly like yours. The only way someone could've imitated that is if they were a..."
I sucked in a heavy breath, fighting the feeling to pass out. It was almost useless; my entire being turned to grape jelly as my head flopped back onto my pillow. Biting my lip, I was more terrified than I'd ever been in my entire life.
Victoria had been in my room.
That crossed the line of my patience and sanity.
"If she ever lays so much as a finger on you..." he trailed off through gritted teeth. His expression was furious.
"I was tracking her, but it didn't work out," he continued.
Suddenly, the terror multiplied, and I felt lucky that I'd just woken up; if it weren't for the fact that I'd just slept for eight hours, I would've fainted.
"You will never do anything like that to me again, got that?"
"What does it matter if I die?" he mumbled, hanging his head. I realized that the unhappy half of his face yesterday had been disgust for himself. "I have no soul. Bella, you have to grasp this. I'm a demon."
"You know why I can't accept that? If you had no soul, you wouldn't be capable of emotions, of feeling. Especially not love or kindness. Edward, you know you have a soul. You just can't bring yourself to admit it," I replied, grinning.
At first there was anger on his face, but it dissolved. Suddenly, he looked bewildered, as if I'd just told him that there were mutant cucumbers walking the streets of Manhattan.
But there were no words. Just a small smile, as if he had finally accepted it.
I smiled back as a real ray of sun poked through the clouds.
Important rant {Author's Note:}
SPOILERS: Do not read if you haven't read the final two books {Eclipse and Breaking Dawn} COMPLETELY. You have been warned.
So, most of you might want to know if the story continues normally after this, right? See, we can cut the Volturi out of the alternate ending, because Bella will have to become a vampire anyway when she has Renesmee. Italy was an amazing scene, but I couldn't add it in due to it being an alternate ending. The Volturi still come to try and destroy Renesmee in the end, because Laurent still gets killed and Irina still goes to them, insisting that she's an immortal child. And I had to give Edward a soul {to his knowing. Of course, he had a soul all along.} I just had to; otherwise, he'd go about all miserasble because of coming back in the end.
So, there ends my alternate ending.
So now, he has a soul, Bella's happy, and the Volturi have no idea Bella ever knew Edward's secret. For now, at least, everything's happy. And, of course, there are two novels after this one.
Like I said in the beginning:
WHEEEEEEE! ^_^
