Okay, now to serious matters. Sorry I haven't updated for a while, but I'm back! I bet you guys see that message a lot and yeah, you'll continually see it in this story with holidays and school blah blah blah you get it.

Chapter 9: Past, Present, and Lost Future

"What are you saying?" I asked, my body frozen and my mind unable to think. Probably why I couldn't process these words.

"Bella, I'm sorry… There's nothing I can do… I can't continue on with this." It's his reply. The reply that I wish could be changed.

"Look, I understand how this may seem, but we can get through this!" I screamed. Mostly hoping it'll stick to his brain and stay there, finding a way out.

"It's a puzzle with missing pieces… It can't be finished in just a few weeks. There is no way back once you're in… and I'm sorry that I ended up in. Bella, just promise me one thing—"

"NO! I know where this is ending up. There is no way I'm going to let this happen! You are not leaving me! You will not leave like this! Not now when there is no other way out!"

"That is what I'm saying… Everything that was needed to be prepared is lost. Gone. We have to change, it is the way out." I push myself into his arms, making his own wrap around me. As I talk, my cries are slowly coming out.

"N-no! I can't let this be! I know a way out! Please, let me fix this!" I cried in his now stained shirt. My arms shake from not having enough strength to hold onto him. They threaten to fall, but I keep them strong worried this may be the present with no future. This day the end of our souls. Doomed to an eternal life of burning and depression.

"How? What is it? I'll help you and we'll be out of this…" he said, his hand rubbing circles on my back. I close my eyes. How should I word this? How should I word telling him that I would be the sacrifice? That I'm the one he wants. That I am the child of God that would stop all the suffering. That I am what the fight is about. That this. Is. The. End. No two days from now if this goes on. No tomorrow if the fight ends now.

"You won't like it…" I breathe out. My voice slowly dying from the recent events. After taking a stuttered deep breath, I prepare myself for what will come. "I want you to know that this is the final end. No tricks anymore. No going back into the past to redo things after this."

"Bella…" he says, making it sound more like a warning. Which yes, it is. He senses that this is not good. That this is way below good. Way below darkness. So low there is not yet a made up word.

"I would have to be the sacrifice. The world on earth will be out of war… And it will be a good thing… No more fighting or anything that would be considered bad… but the fight for the souls would have the worst ending. The real world will take on many angels that have fallen out of power. The other part… I will stay imprisoned in the devil's keep. Staring down at the world of his evil. The world of the exact opposite of the Earth. I shall sit crying in pain of my own burning flesh. Nothing to protect me… No one able to communicate with me or save me. Only if the devil were to turn good would I be released… but that day will surely never come…"

"EDWARD! Come down here! It's important!" I screamed, knowing he heard me perfectly fine. He was by my side in a second, and with my vision a faded version of him running over here was left behind him, slowly fading. Edward leans down and pulls me into a kiss. He tips me over and now I'm leaning against his left arm, my heels just barely touching the ground. (The thing in truth or dare about the kissing was just some random thing so it doesn't really apply to the story in any way) I managed to pull away from him and looked at Alice who just entered the room. She wasn't perky like she usually is, so this won't be good.

"I had a vision…" she stated clearly. Everyone was then in the living room in a second like usual. "No one will like it…" No one even tried to warn her to think before she says something. After taking a deep breath she final got the nerve to say it. "Bella is going to sacrifice herself…"

"WHAT!" They all screamed. I closed my eyes and folded my arms across my chest.

"I would never do that Alice. Are you sure?" I asked.

"Yes, it was pretty clear. You were talking to someone but I didn't see the face."

"Alice, are you sure you didn't sense something wrong? Like any weird feeling after you got the vision?"

"No. It was like any normal vision, but I guess that you didn't even make up your mind it's kind of strange. Like someone placed it there on purpose…"

I sighed and moved my hair out of my face. "Exactly, I would never sacrifice myself. Someone is trying to change things."

"But who?"

"That's what we have to figure out…" I turned towards the rest of the Cullens and wolves, gripping at Edward hand. "I know my mission, and I don't think I've told you guys… unless you listened in."

"Oh trust me, they didn't. I made sure of it," Edward said. I nodded and let go of his hand.

"I'm supposed to… rid the world of vampires and werewolves." Sam was quick to answer. And as much as he may try to hide it, he's scared.

"Whoa!" Sam yelled. "Like, kill us?"

"Ah, hell nah! You won't even be able to fight us off!" Embry yelled, laughing like crazy. "Dis girl aint' got nothin' on me!" I rolled my eyes, he was so stupidly selfish to know what I am.

"No—"

"Embry, be reasonable. There's no way Bella could even do one of us alone," Seth said. I sighed as they continued rambling and bragging. Edward looked at me and I looked back, giving each other the look. I closed my eyes and ice flung out my hands. My eyes opened and turned a bright blue all around. All the wolves were pinned to the wall and ice spikes were just barely touching their necks. The frost air showed everywhere and blinded our view. As the fog slowly faded a three feet deep and two feet thick ice wall was showed squashing the wolves to the wall.

"What about now?" I asked. They struggled to get out, wondering why their heat wouldn't melt the ice. Well, it is truly questionable even to me.

"Our heat doesn't even do anything to this ice!" Quil said. I nodded and turned so I could see everyone.

"What I meant was I have the ability to take away their abilites. Vampires will turn full human and wolves too. No matter how hard you try you'll never turn into a wolf and vampires will be completely gone."

"But, how do you do that?" Alice asked.

"Well, I'm not sure. All I was told is that that was my power." And if I did know what I was actually supposed to do, maybe we'd be doing that now.

"And what happens when you get every vampire and werewolf?"

"I don't know…" That was true. I really don't know. I could go back since I am originally made as an angel and once angels do what they need to on earth, they're done and I'm guessing they go up to heaven.

….

I sat on the top of the roof. The sky was cloudy but sunny, small openings in the sky to let the sun out. There was barely any wind, just enough to make the trees sway lightly. I heard someone land on the roof with me and I turned around to see Edward. Smiling, he sat down next to me, wrapping his arms around me and welcoming me with a kiss. I leaned into him and wrapped my arms around him. For a while until the sky turned orange, we were silent. But silence never lasts forever.

"What's on your mind?" Edward asked. I looked up at him and sat up so I could speak correctly. My voice was hoarse from lack of speech.

"I'm thinking about what Alice said. What would happen after I 'fix' this world? What would happen to me?"

Edward grabbed my hands and looked me in the eyes. "You will stay with me. I'm not ready to give you up. I've lost you for a week, and it felt like forever. I realized how much I need you. And if God is as I know, he will allow me to have you." I sighed and lower my head so he couldn't look at my face.

"Edward, I was chosen to do this. I was created for this. To serve God. To listen to every word he has to say… I was only meant to be on Earth so that my soul could use this body. Bodies are just a way to allow souls to be on Earth. Edward, I wasn't meant to stay. And if it's God's will, I will leave with no questions asked. If you become human that means you have a soul and if you use your time here correctly, you will join me in heaven. So it's up to you to make the right decisions." He nodded and I stood up. Then I grew my wings. "I'm going to fly around for a while. It calms me down." He stood up and kissed me.

"Don't worry, I'll make the right decisions. I will meet you in heaven." I smiled and then took off. I soared over the ocean, taking in the nice breeze as I flew. As I continued on I saw a pod of killer whales. They made whistling noises, talking to each other and playing. I flew closer to the water, just a foot away from touching it when I passed the pod of whales.

I saw my reflection in the water. I've really changed. Not just appearance, but who I am. I went from being the one who was invisible, the one on the bottom of the popular list. I was the one no one wanted to hang out with. Now… now I'm supposed to save the world. Make it new. Get rid of the demons and all evil. Turn it back to how it was supposed to be. But I know that's not all. There's a message to this. A reason to why it was me. I know that I was meant for this since I was born, but I still ask myself. Why me? Why should I be the one giving up everything I have for the sake of the world? In all tragedies there has to be a why question. The question that constantly appears. The question that is really your answer. But right now, with the little details I have, there is no answer seen.

I rose up and flew up to the clouds. But as I did I heard something being flung. Like… an arrow. I turned around and was met with fire arrows in my right wing. I retaliated back with the force and then another sound and it hit my left wing. I fell into the water and swam up.

I looked around and looked for who was shooting. Another was shot and it hit my back. Shooting right through the water. I was in shock so I couldn't move and sunk into the water. With my powers I created an air bubble around me and then a shield. I went up and looked around, laying my eyes on a small boat at the horizon. Going back into the water, I swam to it in a second and jumped on board. I tackled the person and his bow slid across the deck.

"Who are you?" I yelled, moving aside the hood. Underneath was a man with a scar on his neck.

"Please don't hurt me! I don't want to go back to hell!" he screamed back.

"What? Who sent you?" I put my shield down and loosened my grip on him a little.

"The devil! He told me I could return to my family if I kill the angel named Gabriella! He has others on the earth too!"

"I'm not Gabriella! I'm Isabella!"

"Maybe your human name, but not your angelic name!"

"I would know better!"

"God is calling you Isabella because you know of that name!"

"Shut up! You're not one to say anything against God's word! What he tells me is true! I'm Isabella!"

"Yes you are…" He grabbed the bow and an arrow appeared already on it. I stood up and shifted my eyes towards him to be met with another arrow at my heart. Gripping at it, I was pushed back into the water. I swam up and held my hand out. The light of God shone down on him and he burned, yelling in pain. Then he was on fire, literally, and then it all disappeared. Leaving behind the boat.

I climbed back up and looked up at the sky. It was sunset colors and I searched the boat, trying to find something for who this guy was. Then I came up with nothing. It's a stolen boat. I went back on deck and looked around. The boat police were headed towards me.

"You have stolen a boat, if you try to move, you will be shot."

I looked around and then flew up into the clouds. Below, I saw them holding up their guns, ready to fire. "Who are you?" the head officer yelled.

"I'm Isabella, the worlds second savior," I said. The people fire and I went higher into the clouds. Then when I knew they couldn't see me from this high, I flew back to the house. Esme was looking at the finally finished house and everyone else was inside. She looked up and saw me. I landed on my feet next to her, gripping at my wings. She looked at the arrows on me and I sighed. "Right, I forgot about those…"

I gripped at the one at my heart and tugged it out. Esme gasped and looked if it was still bleeding. I smiled and pulled down my shirt to show her the cut was already gone. Everyone else ran out, Edward in the lead. He pulled me into a hug.

"Are you okay? What happened?" he asked.

"I'll tell you after you get the arrows out of me." And they did then I took a bath in a huge tub so I was able to wash off my wings. But since my wings were still huge, I couldn't reach the end and Alice, Rosalie, and Esme helped me. When I was done, we all went downstairs, sat by our mates, then I started.

"Well there was this guy and he started shooting fire arrows at me. He said there were others out there looking for me and that was the only thing I believed in all he said."

"How do we know who's trying to kill you or not?" Edward asked, ready to pounce on anyone.

"Well, it could be anyone. They are able to disguise themselves. For all we know, they could be all over the school, or even watching us right now." Alice looked around, and with Jasper's help they closed the windows. When they sat back down we all half smiled at them.

"So then what? We keep Bella hidden in the house until we figure out exactly how she's supposed to do what she needs to," Alice said.

"Well, it's obvious that if they're from hell they can't go out in the sun. It is a very cloudy town with just a small opening around us. So God is protecting us. As long as we stay here, we'll be okay."

"We? Don't you think it'll be weird of we're all missing?" Emmett asked.

"It's in just about every movie. A person the important person loves is kidnapped and used so that they can control the person. And in our case, they'll use you guys. Say it's either you guys or me. I'll get all shaky and tell them to kill me. How could you not know this will all the TV you watch?"

"Hey! I've cut down on the TV!"

"By what? Two seconds?" I asked with a playful smile on my lips. I sighed, not too in the mood with wrestling with Emmett. When I stood up, everyone stared, expecting me to say something. "What? Don't leave the area. You can go outside, but stay in the sun." Everyone got up and Edward followed me upstairs. We climbed out his window and onto the roof where we would always sit.

"I still can't believe any of this…" He said. "It felt like just yesterday when we met. Now people are trying to kill you."

"Edward, do you understand that it's not your fault?" I asked. He sighed and pulled me in his arms.

"Bella, I understand demons trying to get you, but vampires out there to get you, that's my fault. You were meant to fight off the demons and I brought the vampires into this." I pushed away from him, crossing my arms. Right now, I really didn't even want to try to explain to him. I've said it enough times already. So, instead I need to get him to understand. Which means either going out there at my own risk or not talking to him. The first one is too risky so I'll stick with the silent treatment. I jumped off the roof and into the house.

Alice was in Edward's room. "Bella, where's Edward?" she asked with a worried look on her face. Uh oh, she had a vision.

"What happened in the vision?" I asked.

"I-I don't know. I saw him standing in front of a burning fire. He was crying out screaming, 'I accept'. Something's seriously wrong!" I ran my hands through my hair and sighed. There's only one explanation.

"The devil," I said aloud. "Alice, don't let anyone leave." I walked out to the porch and before I could jump, Alice grabbed my wrist.

"We're coming Bella," she said and I noticed everyone behind her.

"No, there's already too much with just Edward involved." I jumped out, grew my wings, and flew up to the clouds. Flying as fast as I could I trusted in God to show me the way. I saw a black cloud in the distance and I flew faster. "C'mon!" Edward was kneeling in front of the fire screaming. Just as Alice said.

"Take it away! I accept! I ACCEPT!" he yelled. I crashed down to the ground and pushed Edward away. "Bella!"

"Edward, what the hell are you thinking?" I screamed.

"Edward has done it. The deal is done," an evil voice said. It echoed through the place and then a fire spread in a circle around us. Flaring like crazy. I held onto Edward and cried. He took this as a need for comfort and put his arm around me, but I didn't need comfort.

"What have you done?" I screamed, pushing him away, but not enough for him to fall into the fire. My hands were glued to my face as tears streamed down. I looked up at Edward who just sat staring at me, not knowing what to do. Not knowing anything of what he's done.

"Bella, it's okay. You'll be safe. That's all that matters." He started to crawl towards me, slowly as if a movement could destroy me.

"No, Edward! You not only put me in more danger, but you and the entire world with me! Alice vision of the sacrifice might just happen."

Finally got this chapter done. I didn't know when to stop and I didn't want to stop too early in the chapter. Sorry it took too long, but I think the chapter's worth it. Anyways I think this story will only go to about 16 chapters, because this is the middle point and now if you watched the video, the war has to come and all the other stuff in between.
