"Do you see anything at all?" She shook her head.
"I told you it's different with Bella. Because she is half, her future is nothing but a haze. I'm sorry Edward. I wish I knew the answer", I slammed my fist into wall. I saw Esme cover her mouth in shock.
"I'm sorry Esme, I just, I...I don't know how to handle this. I can't lose Bella", she shook her head understanding.
"Don't worry about the wall Edward, we need to get going", I nodded and we headed out the door.

I couldn't tell if it was day or night still. All I knew was that I've been lying on this floor, curled up in a ball for god only knows how long. It could have been hours, it could have been days. I kept going through the possibilities in my head about Aro. Why couldn't he see the real story to this? His power was too powerful to surpass anything that Sarah's mind was making up.
"Let me see her", I heard a familiar womanly voice outside. It was Sarah. Why did she want to see me? She got me into this mess. I heard the door creak open and saw Sarah walk in. I sat up from the floor and crossed my legs Indian style. She walked in quietly and sat in front of me.
"What do you want Sarah?"
"I suppose your wondering what's going on."
"Damn right I want to know what is going on! There's no way that Aro-"
"I know", she interrupted me.
"What...what do you mean? What is going on Sarah?"
"Sometimes in order to get what you want, you have to play dirty", I rose and eyebrow at her.
"Please tell me where you're going with this."
"Well, I'm not the only one that wants something from Edward."
"What are you talking about?" She smiled at me.
"Aro has been trying to get Edward in the guard for many years now Bella", my eyes shot open in horror.
"So what are you saying Sarah? What are you all trying to do!" I yelled.
"Compromise. When Edward comes out here and sees you all locked up in a cold dark cell he will do anything in his power to get you out and make sure your safe. And there will only be one way to do that."
"What?"
"He'll have to join the guard you'll be let free, but he can never see you again. That's the plan my dear. My father gets Edward to finally join the guard and I get to see him everyday whenever I want. It's brilliant", it was brilliant. Sarah was truly evil. I shot up off the floor and crouched down in a attack position.
"Are you really considering attacking me right now Bella when that is what got you in here in the first place", I fell back to the floor on my knees with my head in my hands, "good Bella. Don't be stupid." I looked back up at her, tears threatening to explode from my eyes.
"What...what will happen to me if Edward decides not to join?" I managed to croak out.
"What do you think? They'll be no use for you", the tears came pouring out of my eyes.
"Sarah I- I can't believe- WHY?!" I screamed out. "Why are you doing this! WHY SARAH?! I love him! I'm in love with him! Were suppose to be getting married! I know the real you Sarah! I know somewhere deep down inside you know this is... this is just completely messed up! You raised me, your were like a mother to me! WHY!?" I saw her face switch between different emotions. She was quiet for a moment and then stood up.
"It's for the best", her voice cracked, sounding like she was about to cry. She stared down at me breaking down on the floor. She finally just walked out and shut the door behind her, leaving me alone once again.

"I can't do this anymore!" I yelled, walking into my father's room.
"What is it that you can't do anymore Sarah?" He looked at me dumbfounded.
"What do you think? I can't keep up this act anymore! You have no idea what it's doing to me!" I collapsed into his large armchair, breaking down in the process. I heard my father take a deep breath and walk over towards me.
"It's for the best my dear", I looked up at him.
"For the best? For the best?! I've ruined my relationship with my best friend, I got beat up and almost killed and you know what kills me the most about all of this? You don't even care! It's always what you want! What I want doesn't matter!"
"It's the only way to get Edward to join the guard Sarah. You know how badly I want him with us."
"So...so I really don't matter then? I'm just some ploy to get what you want is that it?" My father just stared at me with a blank expression on his face. My eyes widened in anger. "I can't believe you! I'm your own daughter!"
"Just because you are my own daughter it doesn't make a difference", I shot up from the armchair to stand.
"Doesn't make a differ- oh I'm done. I'm telling Bella what is going on right now!" I ran to the door to leave, but my father blocked my exit.
"You want to tell Bella?" He questioned.
"Yes, I want to tell her. I'm sick of you manipulating me into this!" I screamed in his face.
"Well then by all means go and tell her. But I guarantee you if you go down there back to her cell, I won't be letting you out."
"Well...well then fine! It will be better down there then being up here just...just living with all this guilt!" He sighed.
"My own daughter, not obeying her father. I'm very disappointed in you Sarah", he opened the door and Felix was standing outside, "Felix, take Sarah and lock her with Bella", Felix's eyes widened in shock.
"S-sure. I'll take her right now", Felix grabbed my arm and led me out of the room.

I was back lying on the floor, curled up in a ball. I can't believe this is happening! I can't believe Sarah, I can't believe Aro.....AH! I screamed out, banging my fist to the ground. I was crying even harder now. I heard the cell door creek open again. I lifted my head up to see Sarah walking back in. She looked down at me, tears in her eyes.
"What the hell are you doing back here Sarah!" I yelled at her.
"Oh Bella", she collapsed on the floor crying next to me, "I'm so sorry Bella! I'm so sorry! This really is messed up", she was crying uncontrollably now. "I don't want Edward. I've never wanted Edward! I'm sick of this game! I'm sick of this whole fucking thing!" She screamed out. I stared at her, confused as ever. What did she say? She didn't want Edward? She never wanted him?
"What are you talking about Sarah? All you keep telling me is how badly you want him", she shook her head.
"I...I don't", she croaked out, "I don't want him. My god I have a lot of explaining to do." I sat up and crossed my arms.
"Well then you better start explaining", she nodded her head.
"Well you see my father, Aro, has wanted Edward in the Volturi guard ever since the first time they met. He thinks Edward's power would be a great addition to the guard. So...my father told me that if I didn't turn on the charm with him, I would suffer the consequence. And by consequence I mean he was going to kill me."
"He is your own father, he can't kill you!"
"You think he cares!? He only cares what is best for the guard and for himself. Nobody else matters. He'll do anything to get what he wants and if he has to kill his own daughter, he'll do it", I was starting to understand now.
"Ok so your whole thing with Edward was just a way to try to get him to join the guard?" She nodded.
"Yes. When he left Voltera, I had to keep it up. My father made me. So I would write letters to him. Any chance I had to contact him, I would try. It wasn't like my father could force him into the guard. Nobody really gets forced in. So the only thing he could do was to get me to get him to like me so he would be with me. It was the greatest shot he had to get him to join the guard. When I heard Edward was with you, I had to make you hate me. I had to make all this believable. All of this was my father's idea, I just had to play along and I'm sorry. I never wanted to drag you into this mess, but my own life was at stake. My father threatened if I told you, that he would have us both killed. I'm so sorry Bella. I don't expect you to forgive me", it took me a minute to register what she had just said to me. So none of this was Sarah's real doing, it was Aro's? I honestly couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe Aro would stoop down so low to use his own daughter in order to get what he wanted. But that was Aro for you. It doesn't matter what it takes to get what he want's, even if he has to threaten his own daughter. His own flesh and blood.
"Sarah I...I understand. I'm sorry he has dragged you into this", she smiled a faint smile at me.
"Don't say you're sorry to me for anything. If anything I should be the one apologizing to you for making you believe all of this and making it seem like I hate your guts when, in reality, I love you to death. You're my best friend Bella...or was my best friend."
"I think there is a big possibility you may earn your best friend spot again", I smiled at her.
"Really?"
"Really. Why are you down here anyway?"
"Well, after I left you down here I went to go and see my father. I told him I was done with him using me and I needed to tell you. I needed my best friend back. So he sent me down here and locked me up with you", I frowned and looked down at my hands.
"Were going to die, aren't we Sarah."
"I don't know. If I end up getting killed over all this then so be it. It's better then living the rest of eternity in guilt", I felt more tears pouring out of my eyes.
"I promised him Sarah. I promised Edward I would make it out of this alive. I lied to him. I don't see any way out of this", she rubbed my back.
"You really do love him don't you?"
"Yes...yes I love him so much. He is everything to me. I can't lose him."
"You know Felix right?" I nodded my head.
"Yes, of course."
"Well, he is in on Aro's plan also. Felix was told the same thing as me. If he spills the beans, he will be killed. If we can somehow manage for him to help us, I think we will be ok."
"You called him Aro....", She rolled her eyes.
"He is no father to me anymore."
"So what do we do? I know when my family brings the video tape, Aro is just going to have to destroy it", we sat in silence for a moment thinking. Then Sarah's face lit up like a light bulb went off in her head.
"Yes, if Aro gets the video tape, he will destroy it....but not if we get it first", I looked at her questionably.
"There is no way we can get it Sarah, were locked down here."
"Silly Bella did you not just hear what I said? Felix is in on Aro's plan. If we can get him to get the tape first and make a copy of it before Aro gets his hands on it, were in the clear. Everyone will know Aro is lying and that what he was seeing in my head was false. The guards will turn on him and we win. The plan is genius I tell you!"
"Ok so how are we going to get him to help us?"
"Well, Felix walked down here with me to lock me in here with you. He said he was going to be back with breakfast for us. We can talk to him then."
"You think he'll go for it?"
"I don't know Bella, we will just have to wait and see. Until then tell me everything! Tell me about Carlisle and the rest of the family. Tell me what you've been up to. I miss you!" So Sarah and I sat and talked. I told her about my father and Amelia. I showed her my locket and the picture of my mother inside. I talked about each of the family members and how awful Emmett was at guitar hero, which seemed to amuse Sarah. I then talked to her about Edward. I told her about the meadow and how he told me he loved me. I told her about his proposal and showed off my ring.
"I'm so happy you guys are together Bella. I really truly am", I smiled.
"Thank you Sarah", then I heard the cell door creek open. Sarah and I both turned at the same time to face it to see who it was.
"Breakfast is here ladies."
"Felix!" Sarah shot up from the floor and ran over to him. "We need to talk to you."
"Make it fast, I'm not even suppose to be communicating with you guys."
"Ok hear us out. I know you're in on this plan that Aro has. I know he told you if you told anyone he would kill you but we have a plan and we need your help." He sighed.
"Sarah, I don't know."
"Felix I...I know you have a thing for me and in all honesty I have a thing for you to. If you don't help us, in all honesty, Bella and I are going to be killed savvy?"
"You have a thing for me to?"
"Yes I do, now focus! Will you help us or not?"
"What is it that you have in mind?" Sarah then went on to explain about the videotape and how he needs to make a copy of it in order for this to work.
"So, you think you'll help us?" He stood there for a moment thinking. And then answered.
"You know what? Yes I will help you. Screw it. I'm tired of Aro and his antics. I will make sure to get that videotape and have it copied. This plan is going work and I'm going to get you guys out of this alive", Sarah squealed in delight and hugged Felix.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!"
"Now you 'liking me' isn't just some scheme to get what you want now is it?" Sarah pulled Felix's face to her own and kissed him. I've seen Sarah kiss guys before, but never with this much passion. There really must be something there. She broke the kiss and smiled at him.
"Alright I believe you Sarah", she laughed.
"Good. Make sure Aro doesn't read your mind and see our plan got it?"
"I got it", Felix looked over Sarah's shoulder to look at me, "Bella your family is going to be here in a couple hours. I just thought I should let you know", I smiled and nodded.
"Thanks for doing this Felix."
"No problem Bella. I got to get out of here before I get caught. I'll see you guys", with that Felix rushed out of the cell and shut the door behind him.
"So you and Felix huh?" Sarah smiled at me.
"Oh shut up", she picked up our breakfast and placed it in front of us.
"Since when do you have a thing for Felix?"
"Since a while. Even before you left to go to Forks. I've been to nervous to tell him", I gasped in mock horror.
"The infamous Sarah to scared to ask a guy out!? I can't believe it!" She laughed.
"I know right! Me of all people! I guess its just cause I really like him. And also the fact that I was trying to get with Edward. It just wouldn't work. But now, I can see it happening. Oh and for the record Bella, all that shit I said about you not being perfect as me or whatever was a bunch of BS. And you know that I'm really not all that conceded right?"
"Yeah I know. When I talked to you on the phone that night, it just didn't sound like you."
"I have so much respect for you holding out and waiting to find the perfect guy. And you really did find the perfect guy. Edward is a sweetheart", I smiled at that.
"Yeah he is...alright so now it's your turn! Besides making me hate your guts, what have you been up to?" She laughed and told me about everything she had been up to. It was so great to have my best friend back, but on the other hand, I was still worrying my head off about this plan. I just hope it worked. I hope we can both make it out of this alive and that I can go home happily with Edward and leave this mess behind. I guess I'll just have to wait until Edward and the rest of my family gets here to find out.
