My Big Mistake

That couldn't be possible. Even though I didn't know the two of them my whole life, they couldn't be breaking up. Jasper and Alice was the only couple that I've seen had less complication, next to Carlisle and Esme. This certainly wasn't right, but who was I going to complain to about this? It wasn't my place to fix their relationship, their marriage, not when the other part wasn't here.

"Alice…" I paused there. I didn't know what to say. Not when I had learned that Jasper and her would no longer be together in the future.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

I could hear the heavy lie underneath her tone. Even though I was not Jasper, I could feel that she was breaking inside. I know so much of how a heart could give such pain while it was beginning to shatter. The pain almost made you wanted to die, because there was no reason to live. Like Edward had left me in the woods that day, he took my heart; and my life with him. Even when he returned with both of my heart and my life, I still felt lifeless around him. Every time that I spent my time with him, I started to live just a bit more. However, spending time with Alice brought me back to full life, and that had confused me then. Now, it was clear as day that I was more in love with Alice than Edward. A love that I know would be unrequited.

"Right." I muttered.

She gave out a sigh then, but frozen when her eyes seemed to be lost in the distance. She was having a vision, and I know not to disturb her while she was being sucked inside it. The vision seemed to be playing rather long, and each second ticked by her mouth fell agape until I thought that it would hit the floor. She came out of the vision after a good six minutes, and looked at me with deep concern.

"They will be here in five minutes."

She didn't let me respond to that. She took me up in her tiny arms and flitted out the room. It only took us a mere second to get down to the lounge, where everyone had heard her warning and gathered here. I didn't have the chance to tell them how much I appreciated them to be here, and support someone that they barely know. I know that they all met Renesmee, and had spent time with her. I was still a human, so my blood would become difficult for them if I was to be near them for too long. Now I was beginning to worry about this. The confrontation with the Volturi wouldn't be that short. I hope that they all could control their thirst.

"Let's go greet the guests!" Emmett's booming voice echoing throughout the house, as several vampires chuckled at his outburst.

"Alright, the wolves can stay in the woods, and Bella can be with them."

Alice's words surprised everyone, including me. I thought I was supposed to meet Aro, and convince him Renesmee wasn't an Immortal Child. I shot her a look, but her head was tilted away from me even though she had set me down. This wasn't what we had planned, and I didn't like the thought of watching from the side line, not to mention I wouldn't be able to see or hear what they were doing or talking about.

"I'm going with you." My voice was firm, the only reason that she dared to look at me. I could see the refusal in her eyes.

"It's too dangerous." She argued, but somehow I didn't believe that danger would be a problem here.

"You're wasting time." I frowned at her, then turned to Emmett. "You can protect me, right?"

He beamed at me, and blurred out of my sight to come and stand in front of me with the same beaming grin. "Hell yeah! None of those losers can get to ya. They have to get through the Invincible Man first!"

I had to giggle at that. Trust Emmett to lighten up the tension. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" I know that my fake enthusiasm was helping them, but it wasn't really helping me. My nerves were getting to me, and no matter how hard I tried to fight it, it didn't work.

Emmett picked me up and carried me out the door, so that my slow human pace wouldn't hold anyone up. We all stood in a formation, and the formation pretty much was surrounding me; the weak human. All of the non-vegetarian vampires stopped breathing, and I know why they had to do so. Renesmee was being cradled by Rosalie, and I wanted to turn and tell her how much I was thankful of her to support me, and my baby. I know that we had gone off the wrong foot at first time, but now she truly felt like I was a part of this family, and I was worth protecting for.

It didn't take long for the Volturi to arrive, along with – perhaps – half of the population of vampires. I couldn't believe that they would bring their own witnesses, and I could practically see that there would be a war. I would be starting this war, because my blood was more exquisite to all of the vampires that had gathered around here. Aro stopped, signaling for the others to stop behind him. His crimson eyes flickered towards the supporters of my family, and they soon landed on me. His eyebrow cocked upward, and his eyes left mine and I know that he was studying Renesmee in Rosalie's arms. Then his eyes were on me again, and his lips twitched upwards in a cruel, yet polite smile.

"Bella, it is indeed surprising and almost shocking to see you survived the birth, and still being a delicious human." The vampires behind him chuckled at his words, and the amusement danced across his eyes. "So, where is Edward?" He asked softly, and his eyes flickered towards Carlisle briefly before returning to me once more.

"I…" Before I could even finish the sentence of I Don't Know, I felt a rush of wind, and soon enough I felt a cold hand grasping mine gently. I could hear a ripple of soft snarl coming from beside me, and I know that it was Edward. He had returned to protect me, like he had sworn he would. But really, when my blood was to spill, would he be able to protect me like he said he would?

"I am right here, Aro." Edward responded to Aro's question, and Aro's eyes became even more amused than before. Perhaps he could see that this marriage was shattering.

He could see it now, especially when he had touched Marcus' hand with his lips turned into a full upward smile. I wonder what Marcus could see in this marriage, then again I know all too well. If all of us was to come out alive after this, I would have to take Edward and explain to him that I had no longer feel anything for him. I know that he wouldn't be able to take it well, and maybe he even try to kill me then. But, I couldn't live with someone that I couldn't love. I didn't want to lie to myself anymore, and I certainly didn't want to lie to him, at all. He was my first love, and he deserved that much.

"Mmm." Aro moved his hand away from Marcus and lifted his head upward. He took one sniff in the air, frowned, and turned his eyes towards the woods before looking back at us once more. "I see, you have allied yourself with the werewolves. I would like to see them, they could make a great addition to my vast growing empire."

Did he actually believe that he could convince the wolves to join them? He was pathetic, in every aspect. I heard loud growls coming towards the woods, and Aro chuckled in amusement, along with Caius while Marcus remained emotionless. I wondered if he had ever smiled, in all of his life. I turned my focus back on Aro, and he seemed to beckon me forward. Did he not know that he couldn't read my mind, like the last time he tried to? I turned to look at Edward, and his jaw was tightened to the point that I was hoping that he wouldn't break his face. I looked over to Alice, and she was biting down on her bottom lip and her tiny fists were clenching tightly, which made her skin paler. What exactly did she see in the vision? And what exactly Edward had heard from Aro's mind?

I gave out a sigh in exasperation, and turned to look at Aro. "Aro, if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to stay where I am so that I wouldn't make my family too worried about my well-being."

His smile faded, but he understood and nodded. "I see." Then he grinned, the excitement from this event had gotten to him I presumed. He clasped his hands in front of him, and his eyes darted towards Renesmee. "So this is the Immortal Child." He mused, and all of the vampires from his side looked over at Renesmee, and I felt so weak then that I couldn't even protect my own child from him.

"Yes, I've seen it with my own eyes. Running with one of the wolves." A soft voice sounded, and I heard gasps coming from the Denali family. The silver blonde head poked out from the crowd, and my eyes widened as they landed on Irina. How could she do this? I know that Kate and Tanya couldn't even believe this as well.

"Irina…Why?" It was Tanya that had stepped up before her own sister. Kate soon joined her, and I couldn't see the looks on their faces. Then again, I know exactly what their eyes were saying. No one could have believed that Irina would betray the Cullens, or even her own family for that matter.

"She killed Laurent." Irina answered with hatred in her voice. So this was for revenge? Didn't she know that it was Victoria that sent Laurent to his death? Well, it was partially Victoria's fault, but really I was helpless against him. And right now, I was helpless against anyone.

"Now, now, we're not here to have some family argument." Aro intervened as he looked both at Tanya, Kate and lastly Irina. He smiled that sadistic smile of his, and cocked his head to the side. "Would you lay your life on the line that the child that they are holding is an Immortal Child?"

Irina looked back at Aro, and hesitated for a moment before nodded. "Yes, I would." Somehow, I had the feeling that the Denali would lose another member, another sister.

"Well then," Aro turned and looked at Renesmee before gesturing my little girl to come forth. I stiffened when Renesmee turned to Rose, her hand reached up to touch her perfect, pale face. Rose frowned at whatever Renesmee was letting her see, but nodded before setting her down. Renesmee turned and walked over to Aro. My eyes were fixated on her, I didn't want her to be out of my sight.

Aro bent down to her level, and smiled as he offered his hand out to her. Renesmee took it without hesitation, and Aro's smile seemed to fade by each second. I didn't know what Aro was reading into Renesmee's mind, but I know that he was witnessing the birth of Renesmee, and how she was not an Immortal Child. As for Renesmee, I could take a possible guess that she was showing Aro her ability; the exact opposite of Edward's ability. Aro withdrawn his hand from Renesmee, and stood up with an excited smile. I didn't know what he was thinking, but certainly Edward could because he was growling ferociously beside me.

"My, my, that is quite a scene to witness." Aro voice was coaxed with excitement, and Caius turned to give him a confused look. He turned to his brother, and smiled tentatively at him. "The child is a hybrid. A cross breed between vampire and human." Caius eyes widened in surprise at that, but seemed to look intrigued by the fact that my Renesmee would be of some use for them. I suddenly frowned at that.

Caius offered his hand out to Aro, and Aro took it without any further ado's. Whatever that Caius was telling Aro, I could see that Edward didn't like any of it. Aro smiled wider, and withdrawn his hand from Caius when they were done. He looked down at Renesmee, whom just stood there waiting for him to possibly tell her to go back to her family. "What is your name, little one?" Aro asked as he bent down to her level once more, and smiled softly at her.

"Renesmee." Renesmee answered softly with a dimple smile.

"Would you like to join us, Renesmee?" Aro asked, and she looked confused by his request. He chuckled and lifted his head to look at me. "Bella, would you and your daughter join us?"

Was this the reason why Alice had tried to not let me go? I frowned, what vision did she actually have? I looked to Aro with a cocked eyebrow. "My answer is no."

Aro seemed to be amused at my answer, when I thought that he would be angry. He stood up, and turned to look at his guards. "Let's get them to our empire, shall we my dearest?" The guards all grinned, and in an instant – which was a blur to me – every single vampire was positioned to fight. The wolves had sprinted towards the commotion, and they stood firmly around the Cullens, and Jacob was snarling at Aro as Renesmee ran towards Jacob and flung her arms around his enormous neck, although her tiny arms couldn't fit around him. This wasn't what I was hoping the outcome would be.

"Well, I will certainly enjoy this." Aro chuckled darkly as he just stood there while letting his guards on a killing spree. Then I heard loud snarls and growls, and a rushing of footsteps from the woods – despite my human senses. I didn't need to turn to see what was going on, because in a blur another big group of vampires appeared. Their heads immediately turned my way, and I could see that they all had red eyes.

"Pay attention!" A soft, yet loud voice called out, and I immediately know whom the voice belonged to. Jasper.

I turned to look over where he was, and saw him standing at the front line of his army. I didn't know whether his army was still a newborn army or not, but they listened to his order since they turned their attention back to Jasper himself. Then I spotted the tiny brunette standing next to Jasper, with her hand clasped around his mid-arm. This must be Maria, and suddenly I felt like I wanted to rip her apart because she had taken Jasper away from Alice. However, I didn't even get the chance to even dream of that when cries and snarls and growls erupted the peaceful place. Edward and Alice were by my side, but it didn't look like Edward volunteered to be by my side. He looked more like he wanted to join in the fight, perhaps to prove to me that he was really sorry about what had happened a day or two before. Alice stayed closely by my side, and her hand was clasped around mine. However, I know that she was looking at Jasper and Maria as they fought side by side. I turned to look at her, and she had the same pain that I saw earlier in her eyes. I squeezed her hand and she immediately turned and smiled at me.

The look in her eyes said everything that I wanted to hear. I was going to be fine. Everyone was going to be fine. But really, those were lies. I know that I wasn't going to be fine. I know that I wanted to make this stupid war stop. I didn't want anyone to die because of me. And so I did the only thing that I had thought of, and I know that Alice must had seen it in her vision to want to keep me out of this confrontation. I looked away from her, and watched as bodies crashed against one another, producing thunder sounds. I squeezed my eyes shut, inhaling the air before opening my eyes and released the air in one big shout.

"Stop!"

They reluctantly stopped, and Aro looked on to me with amused eyes. I shut my eyes once more, thinking if this choice was the best or not. When it dawned to be that it was the only way, I opened my eyes and looked to Aro, before opening my mouth to release the harsh tone. "I will join you, if you'd stop this fight."

Gasps were interrupting around the area, and I turned to look at all the supporters of the family. I smiled at them, a reassuring smile that I know wouldn't do them, or me, any good. "You've done so much for me, and I couldn't repay anything back but to sacrifice myself so you all would live a happy eternal life. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, and I promise you that I will be fine."

I unclasped – or tried to – my hand from Alice's and Edward's, and slowly started walking towards Aro. The brown russet wolf that was Jacob stopped me in my track, and he whimpered at me. I sighed, and shook my head before placing my hand on the side of his face. "Don't worry Jake, I won't take Renesmee with me." I paused, and looked towards Aro with pleading eyes. "Please, I don't want my daughter to come with me. Is it possible that I would be enough for your empire?"

Aro smiled then, and nodded his head in confirmation. I looked back at Jacob and smiled. "See? Everything will be alright." He whimpered at that and I reluctantly left him to walk over to Aro. I know that this was the only way to save everyone. And if I wasn't enough, then I guess I wasn't worth it.

A/N:

The longest chapter I've ever written! I just didn't know where to stop, at the right time, and the right....cliffy? Lol. But hey, I can totally see Bella sacrificing herself. But for everyone else to just stand there and not doing anything, especially Alice and Edward, is understandable. They're in shock. Yep yep. Like everyone else. Now....I'm done with this A/N and this LONG chapter. I need to do the laundry to clear my mind haha.

Thanks for reading and reviewing =]
