A/N hi! I just got out of school yesterday, and I've kind of been goofing off. But now I can get this chapter up! Oh, and finish reading this chapter BEFORE you review. Of course, I own nothing. But…haha… I know how to change that…muwahaha!!!

"Yes, Aro?" Edward asked the apprehension clear in his voice. "Your friends and family will be safe, but only if one of you dies."

That's what he was getting at? No. Not Edward.

"So," Aro continued, "because of your actions in Italy, we think you are the best choice."

I heard him say it, but it took a few seconds to sink in.

Edward is going to die.

Edward is going to die.

Edward is going to die.

As if sensing my anguish, he turned around and said "I love you, Bella. You too Nessie." He said as he turned toward her. "You both are the best things that could have happened to me."

I walked over to him and kissed him for the last time. After we parted, he kissed our daughter's forehead.

As he walked away, I heard Nessie sobbing. I picked her up off of Jacob and gave her a hug. Jake looked up and carefully put a giant paw on her back.

When I looked over, Edward had reached the Volturi. Jane, Alec, Chelsea, and Renata stood in a line, ready to rip him apart at Aro's command. "Quite a shame," he announced. "You and your wife would have made fabulous additions to my collecti – I mean the Guard."

He glanced at the line in front of Edward, and nodded. They bent their knees, ready to spring…

"NO! STOP" someone screamed.

A/N hehehe…don't you just love cliffhangers? Yeah, didn't think so. I'll start writing chapter three soon. Sadly, this might be a very short fanfic…sniff…anyway after I take over twilight, I'll murder that $!#& Jane, and clone Edward for my sister and Jasper for myself. I can't promise that we'll share them, though.
