A/N: See! I told you...
Btw, part of this chapter you already read; I decided to combine the chapter together so...
A/N: Sorry about da delay; I was lazy... ... ...
Princess Isabella's POV
I couldn't believe my own eyes. I blinked furiously, hoping that maybe something was wrong with them, or maybe he'd be there...but he still wasn't anywhere...
Had I really just imagined all of it? No...no, I was sure I hadn't. That was impossible; It all seemed too real to just be a dream. I knew he had promised me that he'd be at my window. Didn't he at least owe me that much?
No...no, I take it back. He didn't owe me anything. It was good of him to even visit me in my time of need. I just wish he'd would have came a day later; Because today, it seemed like I needed him more.
Edward's POV
Before I went to my room (though I knew that I was supposed to be resting) I couldn't help just checking on Bella; Just to see how she was doing. I wouldn't be a good husband if I didn't...
But I soon regretted it; To see her, even worse off than before I had visited, broke my heart The guilt I felt overpowered even the greatest of pains. And I wanted now, more than ever, to reach out to her. To hold her and to explain everything...But I knew I could not.
"Bella...I'm sorry." I whispered. I hoped that my soft words could somehow be carried to her...
But alas, she could not hear them; I trudged back to my room...I would have to get as much rest as possible. Maybe that way, I would recover faster and get to Bella that much sooner.
So, I laid on my bed and, hoping that when I woke up I'd be stronger, drifted away into a deep sleep.
Princess Isabella's POV
I didn't know what to do exactly. I really had just planned on...spending it with...Edward. But, seeing as that was now impossible, I had to do something to keep my mind off the heartbreak and agony. But...I still wanted to think about Edward and I still needed to be near him some way. But...would I be able to handle it again?
I decided that I at least had to try.
Edward's POV
I slept for only an hour or two; I wasn't relacing as much as I should have, but I just could not think about her.
But on the brightside, I did feel a little better. My head no longer throbbed and I could breath with any pain. Maybe a little longer and I could be back to Bella by tonight. But in the mean time, I decided I could check on her. I could resist the urge to visit her...right? I thought I could handle it. So I left my room and went to go find my Bella.
I went where I always went when I watched her; It looked directly over her bedroom, and it made me feel more connected to her.
But, when I looked over the edge of the cloud, she wasn't there.
Edward's POV
Where the hell was she? Where could she have possibly gone? My mind was throbbing again, but not because of how weak I was. There wasn't a lot of places she could go; So where was she?
I rushed around, looking over the entire castle. Nothing! I was worried out of my mind; I couldn't help but (guiltily) think that Bella had become so depressed...that she might have even...killed herself.
"NO!" I yelled to myself out loud. How could I have even let that thought cross my mind?! Of course Bella would never do that. She knew I love her...didn't she?
But...I still couldn't find her.
Princess
Isabella's POV
I went to my closet, grabbing my darkest colored cloak, perfect for sneaking out. I knew that if I told Jacob that I was leaving, I'd have to get through millions of guards. I needed to be alone now more than ever.
So I draped the cloak over my arm and tip-toed out my room. I tried not to looked suspicious as I made my way out the door; If I drawed attention to myself, the guards would tell Jacob that I was walking around without an escort, which he had forbidden months ago. I had to avoid the guards at all cost.
I was almost to the door; I was outside, close to the meadow...our meadow. I choked back tears as I came closer, looking straight ahead. But then, out of nowhere, I guard rounded the corner and walked to a maid, across the grounds where I stood, on the other side.. He wasn't looking at me, but I knew he would see me soon enough, though he was far away. It had happened before.
I turned my back to him, staring at the floor. But I heard foot steps close behind me. And acting on pure instinct alone, I hid away...in the meadow.
But I was right; The guard had been close, but had not seen my face. I had hoped he would have left, but of course he came inside. I wasn't even thinking about the pain I was in now being in a place filled with so many painful memories. I just worried about not getting caught; I knew where I needed to be right now, and I could get caught.
I ducked behing the line of bushes by the pond in the very back and held my hand to my mouth so he couldn't here my breath. After a moment or two I peeked up from my hiding spot, checking if he was still there.
He was gone.
I could have sighed in relief, but I couldn't make a sound. I crawled over to the door, wrapping my cloak around me now, and peeked out the door. Nothing, and no one was there.
I swallowed hard, then pulled my hood up so that it hid my face; I needed to get out now. I was slowly beginning to feel a pain in my heartm no doubt caused by coming to the realization that Edward and I had spent all of our time her...together.
I shook my head furiously, hoping that the tears would vanish, and ran out the meadow as fast as I could. The gate (luckily) was being opened. All I needed to do was sneak out. My back was against the gate wall as I edged closer to the opening.
I was so close...I just needed to bring my legs to walk...but they wouldn't budge.
And it wasn't until the gates were almost closed that I finally threw myself out of the opening, before it finally receeded into nothing.
I was out. I had actually escaped; It worked. I could hardly believe it, and I was so happy that I smiled involuntarily. But I caught myself, wiping it away by reminding myself that I had no reason to be happy. Especially since I was about to do something so painful...
Edward's POV
For an hour or so, I sat in my room, brooding and sulking about Bella. I still was unable to find her. Where was she and was she okay? I was still so unsure...
But then, I heard something and I felt something, strong and forceful. And I wasn't sure...but I thought I heard Bella...crying. I got up instinctively, trying to find our where it was coming from. She wasn't in heaven, that much I knew. Her voice was too far away.
I followed the voice, the same unknown force acting upon me. It was like, I knew Bella was calling me, like I could feel it in my soul.
And that's when I found her.
Princess Isabella's POV
In about an hour I had found where I was headed. I wasn't quite sure if I would be able to find my way back, but that didn't matter right now. All that mattered that I was here, ready to do whatever I had to do.
The pain would be great, but I knew it would be worth it, if only for one moment.
A/N: Okay, I've decided to have a little contest here. And I'm not gonna write the next chapter unless someone guesses so...GUESS!
I'm asking all of you to guess where Bella is, and what she is doing. The faster you guess, the faster I update!! This may annoy the hell out of you...but I don't want to tell you what she's doing just yet. So tell me in a review or pm!
