Hello everyone! I would have written sooner, but I'm really sick right now with the flu. NO not that flu (thank god) but it's pretty bad. I'm getting better though...anyway this chapter kicks off with Felix getting Sarah and Bella lunch. And then a little surprise :). Stephanie Meyers owns everything twilight.

"That is correct. I'm not sure how or when Felix is going to show the video, but I know that it is safe and that Bella will, most likely, be fine." Rosalie smacked Alice's arm.
"I can't believe you guys! I was seriously this close to ripping your head off! You scared the hell out of me!"
"Out of all of us", Jasper interrupted.
"So what do we do now?" Carlisle asked.
"We wait till tomorrow I guess. Felix must have some sort of plan now that he has the tape. We will just have to wait till tomorrow and hope for the best."
"Do you see anything at all Alice?" I asked. She shook her head.
"No, it's still to hazy. It will work though Edward. We just have to hope for the best", I nodded my head. I just hope it will actually work and Bella makes it out of this alive.

"Lunch for the half-humans!" I heard Felix yell opening the celler door. Sarah jumped up off the floor and ran over to him.
"Well? Did you get it?" She asked, bouncing in inticipation. Felix nodded.
"Yes, I have it", Sarah squealed in delight and threw her arms around him.
"So now what?" I asked, taking a bite out of my sandwich. Felix sighed.
"I plan on showing the video tomorrow when Edward has to tell Aro his choice. Whether to keep you alive or not", I flinched at those words, " I have to go. Enjoy your lunch", as soon as Felix started to leave, I felt that familiar burn in the back of my throat. I need to hunt. I dropped my sandwich and held my throat.
"Felix!" I managed to yelled out through the ache. He turned around and looked at me.
"Yes Bella?"
"I need to hunt....like now!" His eyebrows shot up in surprise. He stood there for a moment, looking like he was thinking if it was a good idea to take me or not. Finally, he looked at me and nodded.
"I suppose it is ok to take you out for a quick hunt. You'll have to stay near me at all times though", I shot up off the floor and ran to Felix's side.
"Should you let Aro know your taking me? So you won't get in trouble?"
"We'll let him know on the way out."
"Be safe Bella!" Sarah yelled to me. I smiled at her.
"I will. I'll be back soon", with that Felix locked the cellar door and I followed him upstairs. When we reached Aro's room, Felix turned around and took both of his hands and placed them on my shoulders.
"Stay right here. Don't you dare go running off anywhere", I nodded at him. Felix let go of me and knocked on Aro's door.
"Come in", I heard Aro yell from inside. Felix opened the door and made his way in. Aro's eyes shot open in complete anger as soon as he saw me.
"Felix why is she not in her cell!?" Aro yelled.
"Bella is thirsty. She needs to hunt. I came here to ask permission to take her into the woods for a quick hunt and promise she will be returned to her cell as soon as she gets back", I stood there holding my throat in agony. I needed to hunt now. Aro looked at me questionably, but agreed.
"Stay with her at all times. If you lose her, you will suffer the consequnces Felix. And you know what I mean by consequences", Felix swallowed hard and nodded.
"Yes sir, I understand", Aro nodded.
"Take her. You have thirty minutes. If you are not back by then, I will send some guards out to look for you both. Understand?"
"Yes sir. Bella lets go. Quickly", Felix grabbed my arm and rushed me downstairs and outside. The fresh air felt so good. Felix and I ran into the forest and I began to hunt. I wasted no time taking down three bucks. Felix stood by, watching me intently then entire time. As soon as I was done, I still had fifteen minutes to kill.
"That looks quite exhilarating", I rose an eyebrow at Felix.
"What?"
"Hunting. I've never actually watched a vampire hunt animals before. It's fascinating."
"It is quiet the adrenaline rush."
"Indeed." Felix and I sat and talked for a couple more minutes until I heard a familiar voice.
"I could have sworn-I knew I heard-yes! Yes! This way!" The voice coming closer defiantly sounded like my favorite pixie-vampire. I shook my head. It couldn't be Alice. Maybe being in the cell for such a long period of time had messed with my head.
"BELLA!" Or maybe not. I swung my head around to find Alice standing on top of a tree branch. She hopped down and ran over to me, tackling me to the ground, hugging me. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Alice, how in the- how did you know I was out here?"
"Well me and the others were out hunting and I thought I heard your voice so I followed it and I was right! How are you?"
"I guess I'm doing ok...wait you and the others?" Alice nodded and smiled. I looked over her shoulder to see Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, and...my god I couldn't even think. I shot up off the ground running over to him as fast as I could. He opened his arms to me and I collapsed into them.
"Bella", I heard him breath out. I pulled back and place both my hands on the side of his face.
"Edward. Your really here?" He smiled and nodded.
"Yes my love, I'm really here. What are you doing out here by the way?"
"I'm out here for a quick hunt, which is actually being timed. Shoot...Felix, How much time do I have?" Felix lifted his arm to look at his watch.
"If you want to get back in time and not get massacred, you have about two minutes", I nodded once and turned back to Edward.
"I'm so happy to see you."
"I don't think the word happy can cover how I feel seeing you right now love", Edward took his hand and stroked my cheek.
"You want to know something great?" He smiled.
"Of course I do."
"Sarah isn't as crazy as we all thought she is", everyone laughed.
"Really now?" I nodded.
"The only reason she tried to force herself on you was because Aro forced her to. He really wants you in the guard Edward."
"I can assure you that won't be happening my love. Why is Sarah in the cell with you?"
"Because she wanted to tell me the truth. She was sick of lying to me about all of this. She said if I was going down, she was going down with me."
"Wow, so she isn't the skank we all thought she was. Huh, how about that?" I heard Rosalie say off to the side.
"Bella, we have you have to be back in your cell in five minutes. We need to leave", I heard Felix say from behind me. I nodded and looked up at Edward.
"I'm so sorry Edward", he looked at me confused.
"What are you sorry for?"
"I promised you I would be safe and now look at me!" Edward wrapped his arms around me.
"As long as your not hurt, I'm ok. And everything will be ok. This time tomorrow we will be back on a plane home and we'll leave this mess behind us ok?" I nodded into his chest. "You need to go back now love. I don't want you to get in anymore trouble." I let the tears flow out of my eyes. I pulled back and took one long look at Edward. He took both of his hands and pulled my head closer to his for long, lingering kiss.
"I love you Edward", he kissed my forehead.
"I love you Bella", with that Felix took my arm and we ran through the forest back to the castle.
