A/N: I told you I'd update later and I did; I think I spoil you readers...

Edward's POV

I had this feeling that Bella didn't believe me. Hell, even I wouldn't have believed me. But still, it was frustrating! How could I prove it to her that I really was dead and that I wasn't crazy?!

I felt my eyes light up as I thought of a way. But the corners of my lips turned into a frown as I realized...this was going to break her.

But...it was the only way.

Princess Isabella's POV

Edward shook his head and was quiet for a while. It was really starting to worry me. What did Jacob do? My question remained unanswered.

Finally the silence was broken by his melodic tones.

"Come with me..." he sounded broken, as took my hand in his and led me away. Where to, I had no clue. We walked a few blocks, people staring at me like I had completely lost it. What were they all staring at? Like none of them had ever seen a couple on a walk before...?

Finally, we stopped. I hadn't been paying attention to my surrounding before this. I had been too absorbed in my thoughts about Edward and what I was going to tell Alice...But now, I was far too aware of where we were.

We were in the cemetery; And not just any cemetery. We were standing in the section set aside for knights and war heroes.

"Edward, you aren't dead." I pleaded with him to see reason. He couldn't really think he was dead. This had to stop now.

"Yes. I am." he said quietly. "Look..." he pointed to a grave stone. I sighed, fighting back tears. I still didn't think he was dead, but the possibilty brought tears to my eyes. I couldn't-no. wouldn't- believe he was dead.

With a shaky hand, I dusted away the cobwebs covering the grave he had pointed to so I could read the name clearly. To my dismay, it did in fact read...

Edward Anthony Masen: Rest in Peace Forever

"OH MY-" I whispered, but covered my mouth quickly with one hand, trying to repress the screams. I fell to the ground as my knees buckled under me. I was in hysterics and I didn't even try to hold back my sobs. I couldn't not cry about this. I re-read the grave over and over again, hoping that the name would read someone else's and nto Edward's.

My face in my hands, I cried for hours as Edward held me close.

"Bella-I'm sorry..." he said. It sounded like he was holding back tears to; My knight in shining armor, who always put up a strong appearence for me...crying.

And that's when I knew things were bad.

Edward's POV

I held her close as she cried her heart out; As she cried for me. I held back tears of my own, as she wept on my grave.

Finally, when she had stopped crying, things had gotten so quiet I thought she had fallen asleep.

"Bella?" I whispered shaking her gently.

"Edward," she said. Her voice held no signs of being asleep. "How-how did you...? And what does it have to do with...J-Jacob?" she asked. I heard her whimper as she tried to bring herself to say it.

"Shh. It's okay." I comforted her, holding her tighter. And the only sound in the cemetery was her shallow breathing. How was I going to tell her Jacob had killed me? I couldn't. I knew it would be lying, but... "I was...killed..." I couldn't tell her now. It would be too much stress and she wouldn't be able to go back to her miserable life, knowing Jacob had had me...killed. "...or rather, I died after Jacob, set me free." I said reluctantly. But at the time, it seemed for the best. "In a quarrel with-with..." I couldn't think of anything to tell her.

"It's okay...I don't expect you to remember the whole thing. But, how could Jacob not tell me?" she asked, her voice cracking.

"He-probably didn't want to hurt you." I had to give Jacob some credit. He had tried to protect Bella to some degree, and maybe, underneath all the anger and bitterness, he really did care about her.

"I know. But...still." she buried her face into my chest again. It was quiet for some time, but she spoke again, this time in a lighter tone. "So, they just let you come down whenever you like?" she asked trying to laugh. I smiled weakly at her attempts.

"No. I'm actually breaking the rules to be with you..."

"Just like the old days..." she smiled, a little brighter this time.

"Yeah. And, I can visit more often. Just not...exessively." I assured her. She seemed glad at that and sighed in relief. And I began to wonder how much longer before I had to go...

And then, right on cue, I started to feel faded...weaker and weaker, being pulled away from my Bella. I couldn't fight it now...

"Edward?" she asked. "Are you alright?"

"I-I'm not sure." I felt a little sick. My stomach was in knots and I was getting dizzy; Something told me it was time for me to go. "Bella...I have-to go. I've been down to long..." she looked worried and scared. "But, I'll be back as soon as I can..." I assured her. "Outside your window..."

And I could feel myself fade away into nothingness. I would have to ask Carlisle about that sometime...

Princess Isabella's POV

Just as quickly as he had come, Edward had vanished into thin air. I felt tears run down my cheeks, becoming more persistant as I made my way to the place I was forced to call home.

I didn't aknowledge Jacob as I made my way to my old room, slammed the door and cried into my pillow; It felt like more normal in my sanctuary.

I knew I couldn't tell Alice; I wouldn't tell anyone, not yet anyway. I would just wait. Wait for Edward to come back...wait for my light to guide me again...

I cried myself to sleep; And that night, for the first time in eight months, I had a happy dream.
