Guys!!! I hope most of you have seen New Moon! It's great! I'm one of the few who stayed Team Edward after watching that movie, I know, I'm so loyal aren't I? But it's really annoying because people are only Team Jacob because Taylor is a hotter actor… what happened to character? Or who Bella should choose? It's turned into who's better with their shirt off rather than who should Bella choose and I think that's honestly stupid, enough of my rambling… I'm not a very biased person lol back to the story! Don't forget the poll is still up! I want to hear your opinion!

Edward POV

"Sun, sun, go away, come again some other day…" Emmett sang as he watched the sun outside our home. I was sitting in my room just staring into space while Alice sulked around yelling at me with her thoughts.

How could you Edward! You had your second chance and you blew it! Now she's running with those mutts when you could have made the move and she'd be with you! God! You're so… so… so RIDICULOUS!

That's it.

I rushed out of my room and was in front of Alice in an instant. She was sitting on the bed with Jasper in her room. "Will you just keep your thoughts to yourself?" I asked annoyed.

"No." she sat up, putting her hands on her hips.

I hissed at the little pixie and Jasper at the same instant wrapped his arms around her protectively.

Then I softened. My mind wandered back to when I wrapped my arms around the one I loved.

"I apologize Alice." I told her softly before I ducked out of the room and ran out of the house. I ran to the one place I knew I could remember. I ran to the familiar area right before you enter the forest. I looked at the spot where she parked, where I teased her, where I… I looked away quickly and took off, I was at the location where everything came to be, where everything happened.

The meadow…

I took in everything in my sight, the sound of the river, the flowers swaying back and forth, the tree in which I ducked under as soon as the sun came out so she wouldn't see what I looked like.

She so easily accepted me for who I was, she wasn't afraid! How crazy can one human being get? She was the most, dangerous, crazy, clumsy, beautiful, unselfish girl I'd ever met. She was my Bella.

Forget it, she wants you to move on, she wants you to be happy!

Soon the overcast started to drizzle raindrops, I looked up towards the sky and saw the little raindrops falling, something a human would have a hard time seeing.

I lie down on the ground and let the rain fall down on me. (ooooooh a wet Edward… yummy 3 ) I loved Bella, but I need to get out of the past, I need to let go of my regrets. God has given me Serena, a second chance, a new leaf. This must be a sign from him even though I'm going to hell. I've had the soul talk countless times with Carlisle, he says I probably have a soul, but I find it hard to believe, my souls gone, I'm dead.

Then I heard rustling coming from the bushes. I got up at vampire speed and found myself face to face with the person whom I thought I wouldn't see again for the next hundred years.

"Laurent?" I asked. He looked exactly the same, dreadlocks, same clothing, he hadn't changed at all.

"Edward." He said with surprise. "You all have come back!" he said with a smile. I looked into his eyes. They weren't golden, they were crimson. That means…

"Yes. We have." I answered cautiously.

"Hmm…" he trailed off with a grin. "I see you don't have your pet with you…" he said expectantly.

"No…" I said even more cautiously. "Why are you asking?" I decided to play at his game.

"No reason at all, I just don't get how you resisted her blood, she was simply…" he thought for a split second, "mouthwatering." He said with a sly smile.

I let out a low growl.

He held his hands up, "Whoa there… I mean no harm… now. I've already gotten what I wanted; I just couldn't let Victoria have the fragile human to herself now could I?" He said questioning me.

"I don't understand." I said not thinking about reading his thoughts.

"You see, Victoria wanted to get some, vengeance for you killing James. So she sent me to look to see if you guys were with Bella to protect her, which you weren't because you left." A stab of pain shot through me. "And before I was going to search I decided to do a little hunting and I just so happened to stumble upon this meadow." He said raising his hands and twisting his body gesturing to this meadow. "and she just happened to be here, and it all worked out perfectly. Now, I'm back to find the other one for Victoria, what's her name? Bella the fourth?" he teased the chuckled. "Anyway, she wanted her own share so I'm not going to eat this one." He finished.

I read his thoughts.

Him taunting Bella, circling her, she had the most frightened look. Then, him lunging at her throat and drinking her dry, no one to save her.

"NO!" I roared and lunged for his throat.

Alice POV

Edward lunging at Laurent in the meadow.

"No!" I cried out as I sat on the couch, Jasper was at my side immediately.

"Alice, what's wrong?"

"Nothing… I have to go I'll be back in a bit." I told him before I pecked his cheek and bolted out of the house.

I ran into the forest and caught Edward's scent instantly, I bolted into the direction to where he was.

I came to their meadow, but I felt that I shouldn't invade because it's his special place but I didn't care, he was to attack Laurent.

I got to clearing too late, the first thing I noticed was Edward's pained face looking down on Laurent's dismembered body. He had his fists clench and looked as if he were to burst into tears any second. He was absolutely still.

"Edward?" I took a step towards him.

He didn't look at me. "Edward, look at me." I commanded. I gently placed my hand on his arm.

Then he slowly turned towards me, with the most angry expression any human would freeze in fright, I widened my eyes.

"Edward what…"

I was cutoff "Payback." He muttered quietly. Then his angry expression turned to the most hurt, pained expression I have ever seen in my life.

"Oh no, Edward!" I covered my mouth, then wrapped my arms around his waist. He tightened the embrace and dry sobbed into my shoulder. We stayed like that for a while both sobbing, wishing we could cry at the moment. Bella didn't die of old age… she was killed by the one thing we didn't want her to get killed by.

This was a bad sense of irony.

Soon the sun began to set and we had to head home. "Edward, we should head home."

He didn't reply, he just slightly nodded his head and followed me back to the house. When we got back I went straight to Jasper and Edward ran up to his room and slammed the door making the wall crack.

"Family meeting. Now." I spoke aloud knowing the house would hear me.

I stood up as everyone stood around me in an instant. I stood in front of them with my arms crossed.

"Okay, so Edward and I found out something that all of us didn't know today…" I started out. "Bella… died…" I choked out the word. "Not in the way that we thought, she was well, killed by Laurent." I told them. "And Victoria…" I heard a growl upstairs. "is still out there, trying to find Bella, and when she finds Serena, you know what she'll do to the next best thing." I explained.

"Wait… Bella, didn't die an old lady, she dies because of Laurent?" Emmett asked taking in the information.

"Yes, she got killed by the one thing we tried to protect her from." I said sadly. "And now that's all said as been done, we need to focus on Serena." I concluded.

Esme broke out into sobs. "Oh my poor son!" she said shaking her head.

"What happened to Laurent." Carlisle asked. "How did Edward find out."

"Laurent was about to tell Edward, but with Edward's power, he knew before and…" I trailed off. Carlisle immediately understood.

"So Laurent's gone." Jasper finalized. "And Victoria's still out there."

I nodded my head. "And when Laurent doesn't come back, she'll come and find out if Serena's actually here. It's only a matter of time." I finished. The room was silent.

Esme was sobbing, Carlisle had a protective arm around her. Rose and Emmett were cuddling on the couch, Emmett with an angry expression and Rose with a disappointed expression. Then there was Jasper, looking at me to make sure I was okay.

"I have to go check on Edward." Esme said through her sobs. And she fled up the stairs. A few moments passed and I heard a scream.

All of us fled up the two flights of stairs into Edward's bedroom at the end of the hall.

I was the first to arrive to find Esme reading a note while covering her mouth. "He's gone!" she cried hysterically. I grabbed the note from her as she turned into Carlisle now sobbing hysterically.

I read the note aloud.

Dear Family,

I'm sorry but all of this is too much for me to handle, I don't know where I'm going or when I'm going to return but I know I can't stay in Forks. There are too many memories that just can't be undone.

I'm sorry and I love you all, I'll be back whenever.

Edward

"Oh man…" I trailed off after I finished.

"He just left?" Emmett said grabbing the note for proof.

"I guess." I answered softly looking towards the window, which was open.
