Edwards POV

I had to get out of the house, I decided to hunt so that Alice didn't question where I was going. Alice thoughts were ticking over, as she was worried as Emmett's future disappeared suddenly.

I ran to Forks, to mine and Bella's meadow. It didn't take long with my speed.

Before emerging through the trees I took an unnecessary breath. I walked through the foliage and it was beautiful. Just as I remembered. Yet it was missing its key feature. Bella.

I lay in the centre, looking up at the darkening sky. It was twilight, the safest time for our kind.

Bella had such a hectic happening life after I left. Tears formed in my eyes, refusing to fall.

My Bella was violated. Her virtue was taken from her. By that monster. I remember Bella telling me I wasn't a monster; that a monster who intended to ruin people's lives. He ruined Bella's. Yet she had a son. A son; who by the sounds of things, was like me. How I wished I was human, I would never have to leave; never worry for Bella's safety. Masen could be my son. My mind was racing. Jacob Black, He always hated me, for what I was. No doubt now he would hate me for what I had done to Bella.

I was pondering over Bella's and Jacob's relationship. Had they been together? Jealousy began to over rule me. The thought of Bella and that; that dog, made me furious. He had saved Bella, he looked after Bella, cared for Bella and Masen. I could not hate him. Yes I could resent that he had the privelege, but hate him I could not. I owed him my all. He was the reason my Bella lived on.

An hour later after a lot of thinking I ran to the treaty line, in hope that one of the dogs would smell my return.

Everyone, I smell a bloodsucker. 100 yards east, 10 yards behind the treaty line. wait, it's familiar. It's a Cullen. Calm down Quil, they mean no harm. Unless they have broken the treaty...

I was met by Sam, the Alpha of the pack. He was In wolf form as they normally are whilst patrolling. I nodded as a small welcome gesture. My family and the pack may have a treaty, however we were not on a friendly basis.

"I can assure you that we have not broken to treaty Sam." I was the first to speak. He disappeared behind the tree in wolf form, and returned in his human form.

"Edward" He nodded. "What does your return entail?" He questioned. Sam did not look happy to see me; he folded his arms across his chest and stood proud.

"I wished to speak with you, if I may, about Bella" I cut the formalities; just as Sam did. I was not Carlisle, pleasantries were not needed here.

Poor Bella...what a mess she was when I found her...Curled up in a ball on the woods floor, cold, shivering, eyes red raw, sticky tears dried her face...

"You found Bella, in the woods?" I gasped at the memory Sam had just replayed in his mind. Why did I take her to the woods to talk...

"Yes. And I can't believe you left her in that sorry state. Disgusting. Leaving her in the woods, whilst Victoria was nearby to kill her?" Sam shouted.

"Victoria?" I quizzed, Alice didn't see her coming, we would have never left if we knew she was near by...

"Don't worry Cullen, we killed that little bloodsucker, and her friend with the dreads got away; not with losing a limb though. He has not returned in 10 years, and Bella assures us that she hasn't seen him. We have positioned one of our pack with her ever since you left, in case of an attack of a low life creature like you." His words were like daggers shooting through me.

"Alice didn't see any attacks on Bella, yet Bella's future is blank and has been since she was found on the side of the road by one of your pack..what does this mean?"

Haha, the bloodsucker hadn't guessed why. I best tell him. It is only fair we rub our advantage in front of him

"Your precious little pixie sister can't see us, so when we are near Bella, Bella's future will disappear. We have been close to Bella constantly, literally since your departure. That is why her future is, lost you may say." Sam Smirked impressed with the fact that they were immune from our otherwise advantage.

Huh, Alice can't see the future with them mutts around. Makes sense, they are out mortal enemies.

"How could you be so selfish? So heartless? We thought Bella was dead!" I shouted at him, I was enraged now. "What gave you all the right to fuck with Bella's future, making us think she was dead?" I shouted at him. He did not flinch.

"You did not see the state Bella was in when your pathetic excuse for a coven left; she was dead; dead inside. She would wake Charlie up at night with screams, she then jumped of La Push cliff, an attempt to kill herself we think, However Jake claimed it was cliff diving. Jake wasn't there, so she chose the wrong cliff. She partied, and filled herself up with so much shit like cocaine alcohol and heroin. We didn't know why. Bella said it was the only way to get rid of the pain. The pain of you leaving used to constantly replay in her mind. She was disowned by Charlie; she moved in with Billy and Jake down on the reservation with the rest of us. She was raped and fell pregnant. Bella raised her child with Jake. They were happy. They were best friends. Jake wanted more yet we reminded him that she had been broken before, and if he ever imprinted whilst in a relationship with her it would ruin her. "

This was a lot of information to take in, even though I had known the majority of it already due to Bella's letters. Why didn't Bella mention the cliff diving to me?

"That is a lot to take in, yet I thank you. But it has came to my attention that Jacob did in fact imprint and left Bella and her son." I questioned.

"Yes, yes that is true." He yawned. Clearly this conversation was boring him.

"How did Bella cope?" I probed for more information.

Pfft as if that leech cares! He left her as good as dead in the woods for Christ sake, in the vicinity of a pair of red eyes that were seeking her revenge!

"I can read your thoughts Sam" I muttered to him.

"Yes, and I wanted you to hear that. And hear this. Bella and Jake were dependent upon each other for happiness. Jake in the form of a possible relationship. Bella wanted a friend. Leaving Bella was Jake's hardest decision to date. He still works himself up over it. I hear his thoughts on the matter. It was not easy for him" Sam replied.

"I hate to repeat myself. How. Did. Bella. Cope." I hissed through gritted teeth. I was pissed, he was keeping something from me.

"Don't you dare speak to me that way, you fucking leech!" He was shaking in anger. I knew if he didn't calm himself he would phase then and there.

"I do not want any trouble. I love Bella. I just need to know how she coped" I semi- pleaded.

"Bella was depressed to say the least. Not because he imprinted; she was really happy for him. But Jake imprinted whilst she was 7 months pregnant, and she feared she would be alone to raise 2 children. The thought of someone leaving..." He paused "Again" Sneering at me referencing to my departure as the previous one... "Sent her into a downward spiral. The pack at La Push helped Bella as she returned to stay for a while, she soon sorted herself out, for Masen's sake and the health of the baby. Bella lost her's and Jake's child. Bella remained strong though" Sam exhaled.

"Thank you. That is all." As I went to turn away Sam's thoughts evaded my mind.

It is not...don't lie to me bloodsucker or I will tear you limb from-

"I see you sensed there was more-" I interrupted his thoughts.

"Spit it out Cullen" I was Interrupted also. Sam was agitated to say the least. I did plan to wait for Carlisle to return with me before raising the second issue.

God this leech is pissing me off. I could be home by now with my darling pregnant Emily.

"Congratulations" I said.

"Stay out of my head leech, and get the hell on with it" Sam shouted.

"May I propose we amend the treaty" I said matter of factly..

" Haha...And in what way Cullen? You are speaking to the wrong wolf. I am no longer Alpha" Sam remarked bluntly, sneering as he said Cullen.

"Wait, What? who is Alpha?" I smelt a presence of two or more dogs. I read their minds, they were no threat; Just curious. There was a short period of silence. I heard movement in the bushe's behind the trees.

"Jacob Black, Alpha at your service..." as Jacob appeared in human form; smirking, from behind a tree.
