Chicago Present ~ One Month Later

Edward Anthony Mason 26 years of age

"I love you, too."

Those were the last words I had ever heard from my sweet beautiful Bella. I missed her so much beyond words.

I had finally made it to Chicago, after so long I was finally back here and ready for my search for my beautiful Bella. I had promised her I would meet up with her someday here in Chicago and I still intended to fulfill that promise.

In this life I was born as Edward Antony Mason in 1984 and my parents were Edward Sr. and Elizabeth Mason. I grew up with my parents in England while and then went to Oxford University for a medical degree just like my father, because it was what he wanted, and then graduated. It was after I graduated that I told him my need to going to America. I told him it was always my dream to go there, so he finally accepted and help paid my way here.

Saying goodbye to them wasn't easy, there were lots of tears from mother, and maybe a couple from my father but he wouldn't dare let anyone but mother see him cry. It was then that I finally boarded a plane to America.

I had made plans before and bought a house to live in and applied to surrounding hospitals where I could work at knowing that for sure I would get one. Not to soon later I did get calls from the hospitals and they all offered me the job so, when I came to a pick, I picked the hospital nearest to where I lived which was the smartest choice.

So after weeks and month of preparation, I was settled in my new home with a job and ready to find the lost love of my life.

Ancient Egypt Part 3

The Servant Arrives ~EPOV

I was born into an important family here in Egypt. We were rich and well known for contributing well, so once again we were moving, I wasn't sure where expect it will be near our Pharaoh of Egypt. I've meet him once before with my parents and I never really liked the guy. So I wasn't too thrilled. We've been traveling for days on camels with not too many supplies, so we had to use every moment of the day we could to travel.

After days of traveling we were then welcomed with open arms, and a few weeks later we were invited to dinner with the Pharaoh. When we first got here I hated how he treated the Hebrews, it was disgusting in my opinion, and if I spoke it I knew I probably be sentenced to death by saying that.

We arrived to the dinner late but he didn't seem to mind. This time once I saw him I recognized him, and knew I didn't like him for sure, he was one of the men that destroyed mine and Bella's life in our pervious life, he was with the group of enemies that burned our village down and killed us all, the only good thing was he didn't have the gift to remember, and this then relaxed me more.

We were then taken to the dining room and that was when I noticed her, she was slightly underweight, you could tell by her smallness but she was still as beautiful when I first saw her. When I woke up from in my earlier life, I was traveling for days, and I haven't had food or water in a while, I was so dehydrated that I passed out and later when I woke up and I was frightened because I had no clue as to where I was and then I heard her voice which was beautiful. But when I turned to look at her she was breathtaking. Looking at her I thought she was an angel at first.

My heart soared when I saw her, but I then realized that she was a slave and that things were difficult, and it would be difficult for me to talk to her, even let alone be in the same room together. So throughout the whole dinner without letting anyone seeing I would seek side glances because I wouldn't know when the next time I'd get see her again. She did the same back which thrilled because I didn't know if she'd remember since this was the first time I saw here since my first and previous life.

When the dinner was over I was at least able to say goodbye to Bella without any of them knowing.

My family and I settled in nicely with everyone. Everyone loved us. It was after a while that my parents wanted to have a slave since everyone they knew had one. They didn't like the ideal of slaves but they knew they had to keep up pretenses.

This was then my moment, I would convinced my parents that the slave at the dinner didn't look to healthy and that we should buy her from her masters, they had quite a few slaves I knew, because of the gossiping I've heard. So later that night I talked to them and they actually took my suggestion in consideration.

It wasn't till weeks later that we gave to the payment to Bella's master, and she was then sold to us, so later today, father was to pick her up. I hated the ideal of Bella being sold, I wonder how many families she been passed around to, I hope not many and I prayed that she was safe with the masters she's with now.

Father had then left shortly, so in the meantime I focused on my studies that I needed. It was almost sundown and Mother and I finally heard the sounds of footsteps coming to the house. They entered the house now; father gave her a tour after he introduced her to us. He told her what was expected of her and showed Bella where she was going to sleeping. It had gotten late so Bella was sent to bed with her belongings that she had brought.

It wasn't later till midnight I snuck from my room to hers. When I got there I was surprised to see her awake I knew she needed the sleep by her appearance but it seemed she wasn't going to.

"It's about time you showed up." She said quietly while I lay down next to her and took her in my arms.

"I had to make sure they were asleep." I told her.

"I've missed you for so long, the night of the dinner when I first saw and recognized you was the happiest I had been, but now this is the happiest moment, I'm finally here with you again." Bella told me.

"It was the happiest moment for me also, I've missed you too, I love you, I can't believe you're a slave, I promise you Bella, we'll treat you and especially me, we'll treat you like a guest but who has to do work like that there being paid."

"Thank You."

"No need to thank me Bella, I love you and I would do anything for you."

"I love you too, I hate that well have to keep our love secret, I wish there was some way we could be together with others knowing, and that they would except me, but that would take a miracle."

"I feel the same, I wish we could do something but I hate to say we can't, and I won't risk getting you killed by them finding out, we'll have to be cautious, make sure no one sees us not even my parents."

"I know that Edward, I'll do whatever it takes for us to be together in this life." She told me.

"I will to, I will to."

It had been months since Bella had been with us, my parents adored her and glad they didn't get a misbehaving slave. I almost thought that they liked Bella more than me, and I bet they would if she was their daughter. During these months we were able to meet up at night still we would talk about our life and how we grew up in this one, and I was pleased to know that was the only family she slaved for and not for many. I may not like the family she slaved for but they were better than many others that took advantage of their slaves. We would steal kisses at night and if we were lucky during the day time also.

Then the unthinkable happened, Bella had accompanied my mother on another one of her trips to the market when Bella was accused for stealing. She was sentenced for death which was the sentence for any slave that stole but I knew that she didn't do it, and she too, it was then I planned to run away with her knowing it was the only way. I loved my parents so much and I would miss them, but Bella meant the world to me and I couldn't let them take her from me. Later that night I snuck into the cell that held prisoners. The guard was asleep which was stupid on his case but lucky in my case. I quickly then found Bella huddled up against the corner in her cell. And when she looked up there, I loved the expression on her face knowing that I would always be there for her.

I then told her my plans of getting us out of Egypt and starting a new life in another country.

But it's hard now to tell you that, that didn't happen at all we did get to spend that life time loving each other, that night when we left was the night we were both killed by robbers when we had gotten outside of cities ground. The only good thought about this life is at least we got to spend our last of it together.

Chicago Present

2 weeks later

Chicago was different since the last time I was here during the 1900's, it was more evolved, more traffic than before, I hated driving around the streets, especially when everyone honking their horn at you. God get a life people.

I was driving home from work really late, I had to perform an emergency surgery on one of our patients, we thought he was fine but I guess he wasn't, so hours after the surgery I was given the rest of the night off so I could get some sleep, so I could be able to have more energy the next day. Also since I was new to the hospital it meant I was on call a lot more no matter how much experience and well-studied I was.

I loved Chicago, but I still missed the old Chicago, It was great to find the house that I used to live in and buy it. It helped me become more comfterable since I'm living here. During the two weeks mother made sure to phone me, telling me how things were and how much she missed me, and then on occasion I would get to talk to father also. Mother also told me to call more often when I have break but I also told her I was on call for this month and that I would be tired a lot so it would be hard for me to call her.

I told my parents about the people at work I've meet and how welcoming they were to me and how glad they were to have me working. But I didn't tell her about the flirting nurses I didn't want grief and teasing from mother. And Bella was the only girl for me so I made sure those nurses knew I wasn't interested by putting on the old wedding ring of mine and Bella's I hid in the house so that I would find in years later knowing I was sure to come back.

The ring took full effect when the nurses noticed it, but they didn't notice the ring as much as me, it helped me remember Bella more than ever and as if I wasn't determined before which I was determined before, it would help me find Bella faster than before.

Bella's Place

Life wasn't too bad after Alice moved out a couple months ago; in a way it was like as if I hadn't lived with anyone before, probably because of my depression for not having to have seen Edward in so many years. And Alice and I still did lots of things together like shopping, which I hate, and going out, but it still wasn't enough back then.

But it was easy for me to be alone without Alice because I have in a way always been alone, because after years of missing Edward and being without him, I had always been on my own after I lost him to many times that I hate to remember and I learned how to cope to live by myself without the one's I loved.

I've been able to work less hours this past week so I've been going out more, I had been going to parks, the museums, to Navy's Pier just to see if he might be here, the more I looked the more the possibility I could find him. Chicago was a giant city so I knew it would take more than a week to find him. I wish I knew where to find Edward. I been having these feelings lately that something big was going to happen and Alice also told she's been feeling it to so it must mean something.

Chicago 1918

It was the year 1918 and I was twenty years old meaning I was born in 1898. I was born into a great family. This life was easier than most. Edward was born two years before me in 1896 and was currently 22 years of age while I was 20. We were lucky to be born around the same age and in the same city. We also grew up together. Our families were also close and had arranged us to be married since we were babies which made us even happier. In this life I was born with the name Marie and Edward was known as Shawn, weird I know. When we were by ourselves we would call each other by our real names.

These past weeks have been busy especially with preparations for our engagement party, our parents were high society people and the party had to be perfect for them. It showed that they were worth the attention that they usually get from others.

Our engagement party was in a couple of more days which made Edward and my parents more paranoid about it. I knew everything was going to go perfect and I told them that but that still weren't enough for them.

Later that night when the preparations for the party were settling over, we went over to Edwards for dinner.

"Hello love, how was your day?" Edward asked when we arrived and was out of site from our family to have some privacy.

"It was well, expect for all the flower arrangements that I have to still do. How was your day?" I asked

"Better now, that you're here."

I laughed. "Thanks." I said smiling.

I then leaned up to kiss Edward with our usual greeting. This time it was more passionate and I could feel the love pour in it. I loved the feel of his lips on mine, I felt complete when he was kissing me.

We finally broke our kiss when I need to let up for air, but that didn't stop Edward from starting a trail of kisses down my neck to my collarbone. In reaction to that it made me moan. I then moved my lips back to his wanting to have the feel of them again.

Edward finally slowed our kisses to stop before it came to much.

"We better stop, we have family waiting for us." He said

"Ya we should, but I don't want to." I whined.

"I promise when were married will be able to do this all the time without anyone in the same house as us, but until then we need to control ourselves." He said.

"Fine." I pouted.

Giving me on last kiss we made our way to the dining room to our family.

The night was then filled with conversation, laughter and food. Before it got more late we decided to make our way home.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Bella. I love you."

"I love you too, and I can't wait to see you." I told him then we were in a lip lock, but like before he stopped us before it got to intimate.

I and my family then made our way home.

The Engagement party was fantastic, everything went as planned like mine and Edward's family wanted, which was great.

We then started on the wedding plans, and we started on the invites our parents wanted the wedding two months after the engagement party and that means I still had a lot more work ahead of me.

A couple weeks had passed and they plans were going as schedule, but thought the plans were going well. The plans of life didn't looks so good.

In the past weeks their started being reports of lots of sickness, people were getting the flu, but it had to be more than that, because so many people were dying from it. My parents were scared that somehow we would catch so I wasn't able to go out as often and the only place I was allowed to go was Edwards and that was it. I started getting worried, so I went to Edwards more often than before hoping to get through this time, of sickness.

I was scared; I had a terrible feeling about this. It was an epidemic we heard later in the news and we were told to stay home and well rested so less people could catch it.

It wasn't too soon later that my parents had gotten it, and it was a matter of time before I gotten it.

I was right to be worried, both Edward and I caught the flu and we didn't know what to do, we stayed with each other while our house keepers took care of us. Edward and I told each other how much we loved each other; it was then that I wanted to lose my innocence in this life, knowing that we probably didn't have enough time.

So that night with all the energy that we had left, that the flu hadn't taken from us, we made love countless of times, before going to sleep and to never wake up again.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 1936

EPOV

My name was Peter Cole Raymond and 14 years old in this lifetime. I grew up in a horrible home; I was also the eldest child in the family, which also made me more of the main target for my abusive parents. I also made sure I would be their target because I wouldn't ever let them touch my two younger twin brothers they were at the age of six and looked up to me as their hero, and I knew I could never let them down. They counted on me every single day of their lives, making sure they weren't going to get hurt. They were almost like mini ME's and they were also the most adorable kids I have ever seen I just wished they were born into a better home with a loving family.

It was a Tuesday which I was thankful for I loved Tuesday's and like every Tuesday our parents would go out to get themselves drunk so they left us. I hated that they would go out to get drunk but I loved the thought of them not being able to harm us when they were gone.

So me and the twins played games and watched TV before it was time for them to go to bed, so now it was past eight o clock and it was time for them to go to bed, which sucked for me because I now had nothing to do and I loved hanging out with my brothers.

It was a couple hours later and I decided to watch some TV, I was bored and I was waiting up for my parents just to make sure they wouldn't go into the twins rooms when they come home.

It was getting later than usual and now I was starting to wonder what was up since they haven't showed up yet. Usually their here at this hour even if their sober or not, it wasn't till later I heard a loud knock on the door.

Getting up from the couch I made my way to the door to see who was there, and I found myself surprised that there was a police officer standing right there in front of my door.

"Are you a Mister Peter Raymond?" the officer asked.

"Yes sir, I am." I said still confused.

"I'm Chief Harrison and I'm sad to say why we came here, but your parents were in a car accident and they were killed instantly, we also found that they were drinking earlier that night. We're sorry for you loss, I know this must be shocking for you." He told me.

I was stunned I couldn't believe that they were dead.

88888 88888 8888 8888

The next morning I told my brothers what happened, it was kind of sad to see that they didn't care as much that they were gone but with the way they treated my brothers, they didn't deserve any symphony from them and from me. Since I wasn't near legal age me and my brother were sent to live with our aunt and uncle who lived just outside the city, they never knew that mom and dad were horrible, but we were greeted warmly in their home which I was grateful for. Life was going to get better for me and my brothers and right now I was happier than I had been a long time ago.

It had been a month and we were living happily, life was great, but I still thought it wasn't perfect, Bella was still gone out of my life and I don't know when I would see her again.

It was a beautiful day today and my aunt needed something from the bank so I offered to go there for her. I have my aunt and uncle a hug telling them I loved them and I then told the boys I loved them also and gave them hugs before I left. I just didn't know that it would be the last time I ever saw them.

I then made it to the bank it was pretty crowded and lots of people were waiting in line for their turn, many people were complaining about the long wait put then silenced themselves after hearing the two gun shots that rang in the air.

"Everyone on the ground, NOW!" I heard a man shout.

Before I knew what happened I dropped my self to the floor scared.

"As you can tell this is a bank robbery, so if everyone listens to what I say, no one will get hurt." The man said.

I now got a better look at him, but he had a mask on, there were also some others with masks on which were probably his partners.

"Well, well, well, look what we have here boys, isn't she a pretty thing." The man said pulling the girl who looked my age up to her feet.

She whimpered from his grip.

"What's your name dear?" he asked.

"Melody." The girl spoke.

"Beautiful."

He then turned her around I and I was then able to see her face. I froze in shock. Oh god no, not bella.

Anger flared though me then.

Then my stupid self I am, I got up!

"Let her go!"

The man then turned to me.

"Well, well, it looks here to me boys that we have some boy trying to play the hero."

"Let her go." I said again with more authority.

"Why don't you shut your mouth boy, and get back on the floor before I do something, that you'll regret."

"Do the fuck you want with me, but let the girl go." I told the bastard.

"I really didn't want to have to do this."

Before I knew it I heard a gunshot and shrieking from nearby people. It was then I realized he shot me. And it was then I also heard the police sirens.

"Edward noo." I heard my love shout running over to me, and getting out of the man's arms, because he was now to busy trying to make his escape.

"Oh god no, Edward, why oh why."

"Because I love you and I had to save you."

She was bawling a lot and her body was now shaking with sobs.

"Shh, Bella I promise it will be alright."

"How can it be your dying?" she said.

It was now or never and I needed to talk to her.

I was bleeding out quickly and I knew I only had a limited time to say this, we needed a plan to find each other faster, before in the next life it would be too late like right now.

"Bella, please listen to me quickly, I have so little time to tell you this." I managed to get out.

Bella sobs had gone quite a little more so she could hear me

"When we come back again" I gasped "lets meet in Chicago."

"What do you mean, how can we do that?" she asked.

"Well if were reborn else where I'll move from there to Chicago, and then I'll spend my whole life looking for you there and you can do the same."

"But what if one of us isn't reborn during the same life time?" She asked.

"We will be, okay."

"Okay." She gasped out between her sobs.

"I promise you Bella, we will find each other again, and when we do, I'll make it our forever. I love you." I told her with the last strength that I had.

"I love you too." Were the last words that heard from her before the blackness engulfed me.

BPOV

"I promise you Bella, we will find each other again and when we do, I'll make it our forever. I love you." He gasped out to me with as much strength he could muster.

"I love you to." I told him, and I knew he heard me because of the slight smile on his face. And then the light left his eyes, and I was without him again.

One year later

Ever since Edward died I became depressed, I still did normal things and spent time with my friends and family. But I wasn't the same.

My family felt hopeless they tried to talk to me, but I couldn't listen to them, they didn't know what I was going through and they never would.

And then after a while of trying to helping me they finally gave up. And I don't blame them. The only thing they knew was something happened that day of the bank robbery and that it had forever changed me, it had affected me some way and they just didn't know how.

And now life was going by to slow and the only thing I would look forward to was my next life.

It was a Friday evening when my parents and I were going to a dinner party that we were invited to from some old friend of my father. So we were in the car on the way there when my father came to a stop. So we waited till it was our turn. When it was my father he then turned around the corner, but not before I saw the oncoming bright headlight and then the darkness that consumed me.

Chicago Present

I don't know how much longer I can take this, not being with him every moment, I was losing it going crazy, I was frustrated, and I was crying for the first time in so long, I had finally cracked. No one was here to see me this way and I was glad.

I then decided to leave the apartment to clear my mind. I thoughts went by like flash backs thinking of all the lives I had. I was driving in my truck to anywhere I wanted to go to. When I got to a stop light I waited till it turned green and then went when it turned.

I don't know what happened then, but in that moment I heard crashing metal and felt pain all over me.

Plz tell me your thoughts, Epilogue is next.
