BPOV

I returned to Italy soon after I had decided to take my revenge on Edward. I was under the control of Aro a Volturi leader. And Aro liked his subjects to be kept on a tight lead so my yearly departure was limited to a day each anniversary.

I entered the hall, illuminated with hundreds of blood red candles, littered about.

Aro noticed my presence and beckoned me to sit upon his lap.

I didn't love Aro. He considered himself my protector and I played the part of a victim too many times. It became second nature. I clutched onto him as a newborn, and he kept me in an iron grip, believing I was still the tormented being I was so long ago.

"Aro," I sighed as I ran my fingers through his raven hair. His velvet coated eyes looked upon me and scanned my tensing body.

"Hmm, Bella. What are you hiding from me?" He touched my skin and my barrier automatically set a defence between us. "You know, I don't appreciate secrets between us". He stared forcefully in my eyes and I knew that he wasn't just playing this time.

"I want answers to what happened that night," I cowered under his stone glare, which quickly transformed into quiet reflection. "I know that you are hiding something from me"

"That night when you came," He sighed. "You were so delicate, and yet the other members of the Volturi had resolved to kill you, because of your reckless actions," he paused, kissing my forehead. "I'm sorry if I'm upsetting you Bella,"

I knew that he did not have a heart capable of pity, and so I quickly fixed on my objective. Information would be key in my trapping of this Edward.

"But he came and tried to find you," Aro scanned my face for any trace of reaction. Before he continued, I silenced him.

I kept my steely gaze. I knew why Edward had come. He wanted me dead so that he had a clean conscience with the Volturi. He was cunning, but I was going to out smart him this time.

That was why the Volturi wanted me dead.

Edward regretted changing me and had tried to convince the Volturi I was better off dead.

"Aro, I need to find the truth," I spoke softly as he frowned heavily, his brows furrowed into a deep expression.

"No, Bella" he stated firmly. "You are still considered a risk to the rest of the Volturi council. I have convinced them thus far to keep you alive. They would not take kindly to this at all, Bella" he was not going to reflect back on this decision, but I had to gain my revenge on Edward.

My mind calculated several solutions, and I knew that I had to sacrifice myself to Aro. I had denied him so long, he had become more possesive as time progressed. The more I relented, the faster his want of control grew.

"Aro, I will give you what you seek most if you allow me to go" I spoke softly into his ear, playing with his hair. "My hand in marriage,"

"Bella," he barely spoke the word. "I want this, you know, but how can I possibly do something like this" He was sincere in his meaning. He would be frowned upon by the Volturi, and power would slip out of his hands.

"If you want it, then you shall have it in due time" I kissed his ear, down to his neck. For the first time, a glimpse of compassion entered. I had prevailed and although a slim victory, it gave me what I wanted.

Aro granted me leave, he wished for time to think through his decision, but he gave me permission to leave the next morning. I prepared for the task. I would not hunt Edward down, I would draw him near and torture him until he finally broke.

The constant horror of what he had done stood with me, recurring every day. I wrote the next letter, the next letter in the trail to find me, for him to come grovelling to kill me. I knew where he would be, I left the clues clear enough. The first destination. He would suffer the pain of revisiting where I had died.

London City Airport. Was she there in the forest? Would she be waiting...

My venom began acting as adrenaline, pumping faster around my long unused circulatory system.

I returned to my memories, one by one.

The house I saw differed to the home I presided in years ago. It's warmth was left in a depth of cold. The paint flecked where it showed, the rest of the house was covered in thick ivy. It was lifeless.

I began looking around the house I used to call a home. The wallpaper peeled off the wall in places, the kitchen was covered with inches of dust. The furniture was non-exsistant. The few remaining pieces covered by white linen.

The house seemed to be concealed by layers. Layers of ivy, layers of dust, layers of memories confined in this place which seemed so cold.

I opened the stiff door to the back, and escaped back out into the forest. The memories flooded back.

The scuffled cries, the injection of venom, the pulsating of her veins, the screams in the silence, the crimson eyes, the escape she made.

I searched for her, over and over, analysing and analysing. She was not here, she had only left a letter bound by a thick crimson ribbon. The exact shade of those menacing eyes.

Edward,

You have eluded my memory for such a long time, and I know that my heart is just as strong now as it was when I first saw your face. I have loved you for so long, waited for this moment to hold you upon my arms, to brush my lips with yours, to gain your love in return.

I'm waiting.

I observed from a distance. The letter was a distraction, I wanted to see the reaction to the fact that I was offering myself to him. I had studied how to torment him for a long time. I came to the conclusion that he was power hungry. He gained so much power by changing me into a monster, and by offering power over me in a different way he would feel in power. I knew he had inhibitions for killing me for good, but I knew that the power would be too much to resist.

I knew from practice how to approach Edward. Aro had succumed to me by the want of power. And so would Edward, before I snatch it away to claim the power for myself. I would then strike him for the kill. I would torture his emotions, and deliver the painful death to him, the same I faced when he made me into this monster.

I was the uncontrollable pest who he had unfortunately not killed all that time ago. I caused him trouble with the Volturi, and he had produced a vendetta against me. I came to my conclusion over a long period of time, and I was very confident in the decision I had made.

Gaining control over my killer had given me back what I had lost so long ago. I had begun to love. A macarbe love of seeking revenge against someone who had taken pleasure in putting me in the place of a monster, and then when failing to secure my death, asking the Volturi to dispose of me.

He would regret it before his time was out.

He entered the space. The inhumanly figure searched for a long time before discovering my little gift. I secured the letter with a ribbon just for extra effect.

He paused, and a solemn look entered his eyes. I laughed at the fact he was disappointed for not discovering me here to kill.

I would confuse him, seduce him and then strike for the kill. I had coveted the moment in my heart for so long, and now it was finally coming into effect.

Time to make my approach.

"Hello Edward" I breathed upon his marble neck.


I'm really unsure about this chapter, it's confused me and so I took it down for a bit, but now it is back up and I apologize for any mistakes.

Basically Bella has got the wrong idea about why Edward changed her from a misunderstanding with Aro.

Edward loves Bella, obviously!

So will it be a happy or sad ending...

HMMM :)
