Edward Point of View

She was there, and then she was gone. She had run off again, and I had not followed her. I could not process anything except that she had been there. She was beautiful. I could not help but stare at her in astonishment. I surely must have been dreaming all of this, because Bella was definitely not a vampire. This amazing creature in front of me looked so much like her and her scent was intoxicating, but she was just a hallucination. My mind had finally snapped from loving the girl failed to protect, the girl whose blood was on my hands. Her body was different. Bella had always had a nice body but her body had turned from thin and willowy to thin gracefulness, with curves in exactly the right places. She was wearing tight fitting skinny jeans with black leather knee high boots, and a deep blue shirt that left me breathless. She was so beautiful.

Her soft brown hair cascaded over her shoulders in long waves down to the middle of her back, and her golden eyes stared into mine, completely unreadable. She used to accuse me of dazzling her, and here I stood, facing my love once more-completely dazzled.

I still sat on the ground where Bella had tackled me down, beating me furiously. I deserved every punch and a thousand more for what I had done to her.

"Edward…" Carlisle surveyed me as I sat stunned on the ground. "Edward, maybe you should give her space..."

"Space..." I nodded my head slowly, trying to snap out of the stupor that had set in my head since Bella had appeared.

"Space…" I repeated again…space was good…what am I talking about? Space is horrible… I need her now! What am I still doing sitting here? What if she leaves again! I sprang to my feet, and looked towards Carlisle.

"No space, I'm getting her back now." I turned and ran as fast as I could in the direction Bella had run.

She was incredibly fast. I tailed her for hours upon hours, and she showed no sign of slowing. I constantly was pushing myself faster and faster to try to keep up but she started to outpace me after about two days of running. I did not know where she was going, or if she really thought she was going to get away but nothing could stop my pursuit-I had to have her.

On the third day I was chasing my love, I was running about six hours behind her, and starting to get worried. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, and answered it, still running.

"Edward?" Alice. She sounded panicked and it was extremely unnerving. "Edward..." Alice tried to tell me again, and I was starting to get anxious.

"What is it Alice," I growled into the phone. "Edward I was looking for Bella's future even though I didn't expect to see anything big I've been getting flickers lately, but not enough to see a whole vision. I think that Bella is using different powers and it makes her shield weaker. But Edward, Oh Edward! Her future went black! I got a vision of her and she meets the wolves and then all I see is fire!"There was silence as my mind whirled trying to comprehend what she was saying. "What?! ALICE WHEN IS THIS GOING TO HAPPEN?!" I roared at her. How could Bella possibly die? This could not be happening, I had to stop it.

"Four hours Edward, run fast!" I hung up the phone and pushed myself to a speed I do not think I have ever hit before. You don't normally feel fatigue as a vampire but I was starting to feel it. I could not run like this for more than a few hours before I would have to hunt and regain my strength.

Bella POV

I was running. I did not know where and I did not know why. I loved Edward, I loved him so much it hurt, but I was not going to force myself to be around him when he did not want me. I would not do that to the—Cullen's. My mind hurt just thinking of their name.

I ran for almost two days, knowing that I was slowly losing Edward behind me. He was at least a few hours back but I knew he was still there. I was not really paying much attention to where I was running; I just let my legs carry me where they might.

Running was a relaxing thing. I used to be terrified of Edward running with me through the forest, but now I could not get enough of running. It helped to clear my mind and help me numb the growing pain that was throbbing in my chest.

About two days and a few hours of running later, I came through the trees and reached a highway. I saw a sign that read highway 101. I froze in my tracks, terrified. I had assumed I was running further north than this…I was close to Forks without even realizing it. Nobody could be allowed to see me here. I searched in my body for the right power and found it, smiling. I was invisible. I rarely used this power but I found it gave my body sort of a floating feeling when I used it that I was kind of enjoyable. I continued running towards Forks thinking maybe I would reach the coast and go for a swim. If I could get to the coast, Edward would not have to pretend to love me out of guilt. He does not love you Bella; he is only chasing you because he did not get his questions answered about why you are still alive. He will just leave when he gets what he wants, he does not want you Bella. The little voice of reason in my head scolded me with words I could not argue against.

As I got closer into town, I slowed to a walk and looked around. I was passing the where the Newton's store was and found myself surprised that it was still there; obviously Mike had never left Forks. Then thinking about this, I decided I might as well stop being invisible, there would be no one who would recognize me now. Everyone from my past life was dead. It was kind of a sad thing to think about, the friendly faces that thought I died when I was so young. I sighed to myself and looked around to make sure no one was watching before I appeared again.

I walked at a very human pace through the town of Forks, temporarily forgetting Edward as I was repeatedly hit with waves of nostalgia and memories from my human life. Charlie. Mike, Angela, Ben, Jessica, Billy Black and the La Push pack. My thoughts turned to Jacob, my personal sun and I wondered if he was still alive. If he never stopped, phasing it could be very possible. Maybe Jake had imprinted on some girl, got married, and is now old with lots of grandchildren.

Would he even want to see me? Probably not, the note had been pretty clear that I was not to return. I glanced around again as I walked down the street until a teenage boy caught my eye. He had russet skin, shaggy long black hair, and was about 16 or 17. He had warm dark brown, almost black eyes that were strangely familiar. He slowed as he looked at me, and then smiled. He seemed lightly anxious around me and I didn't need to read minds to know what he was thinking, but I listened to his thoughts anyway.

Wow, that girl is gorgeous. She looks somewhat familiar though…but where have I seen her? Oh! She looks a lot like that girl Grandpa has a picture of in his desk…but it couldn't be her, she would be super old by now, and this girl looks a little different.

I had to force myself to keep walking as I listened to his thoughts. Grandpa? Could this be Jakes Grandson? Curious, I let my eyes wander towards his face again and smiled up at him invitingly. The kid walked forward when I started to walk towards him, smiled widely at me.

"Hi! Are you new here?" I was startled by his sudden conversation, but nonetheless was too curious to not talk with him and find out what I could.

"Oh, no I was just passing through I guess, I had a friend that used to live here but I think he is gone now." It wasn't a total lie.

"Oh, cool. My name is Gabe, Gabe Black." Bingo.

"Oh my name is Bella...So how long have you lived in Forks?"

"I don't, I am from La Push. Hey you should come check it out sometime."

"That would be nice, but I don't have time I'm really just passing through. Hey though...That last name Black sounds kind of familiar, my great grandfather lived in Forks and was pretty good friends with a Billy Black…" I looked at him as recognition dawned on his face.

"Yeah, that was my great grandfather." He said proudly. So this boy knew Jacob. I searched in his thought listening for any word of my lost friend.

I wonder what Grandpa would think of this girl? She has golden eyes…grandpa said something about that once but who knows he is crazy. Those are just myths.

"I have to go, sorry but it was nice to meet you!" This meeting needed to end before he put two and two together. So Jacob was still alive. I wondered if there was still a pack now even though there were no vampires left in Forks.

I was off again, and the second I cleared the Forks city limits, I cut into the woods, making a direct path for La Push and the coast.

I was running for about five minutes when it hit me- the smell of dog. Everywhere. Then before I could do anything, I was surrounded. Five huge wolves, the biggest I have ever seen, even bigger than Jacob had been surrounded me. I skidded to a stop and they circled me.

"I have no quarrel with you, pack. I am long good friends with your pack and respect your treaty. I don't hunt humans, and I am old friends with Jacob and Billy Black."

There was a shifting of eyes and I listened in on the packs mind.

Yo she knows Jacob? How old is this chick, she doesn't look that old…

The voice of the Alpha was easily detectable in the pack mind. The brown wolf was the largest and stood directly in front of me.

If she knows my father, I don't know if we should kill her…

But maybe she knows your father and is trying to escape. Common dude Jacob HATES bloodsuckers.

"Yes, Jacob does hate bloodsuckers, and I was friends with Jacob when he transformed his first time. I know everything about your packs history. I used to be family with many of your great grandparents."

The pack became very tense as they realized I could hear their thoughts.

Dude she is in our heads. No way dude no way. We need to take her out now. There's no risk to us, we can't let her attack someone.

There was a collaboration of voices, and I started to get nervous. What if they attacked? I could hold them off for a while but I knew I was outnumbered.

Enough.

They surveyed me and I looked at them nervously. And then, the brown wolf lunged at my throat. I dodged to the left and he made contact with my shoulder instead. I fell back, and before I could even begin to think of using a power to protect myself, I was being jumped by five gigantic wolves. This was the end, I thought to myself. It was over. Pain seared through my body, until everything went black. It was almost instantaneous that it happened, it hadn't lasted long.

Edward POV

I gained on Bella, I could tell she had slowed down and passed through the town of Forks, I was hot on her train when I found her scent started to reach me, mixed in with wolf. Crap, I thought to myself. I sped forward at the speed of light, until I saw her. My beautiful Bella was on the ground, five gigantic wolves descending on her. She had lost an arm, and a leg. She was lying on the ground, a pile of pieces. A naked man was standing over her, a lit match in his hand.

"NO!" I yelled, terrified. "Please, I love her, please…" I dropped to the ground my hands in the dirt as sobs wracked my body. "Please…she was running from me...she doesn't mean any harm. I am a Cullen, and we aren't on your territory, she is a Cullen too. You can't kill her, she hasn't broken the treaty." I gasped out.

The man looked shocked and blew the match out, staring at Edward. "A Cullen, did you say? The Cullen Coven?" There was clear recognition in his eyes of the last name. "Which Cullen are you?"

"Edward, a son of Carlisle" I choked on my venom as it washed down the back of my throat.

The wolves backed away slightly, and the man stepped forward towards Edward.

If he is really who he says he is, we fucked up BIG TIME. He thought to himself worriedly.

"Yes, you did fuck up big time. I read minds. Leave every piece of her here, and I won't declare war, my coven are numerous, and I know you only have five in your pack. My coven is eight large, and we are very experienced fighters. Respect the laws of your people, Black. "I spit at them with venom dripping from my words. They looked at me, before slowly backing away, the naked man phasing instantly back to wolf. The pack retreated and I rushed forward. Her body was mangled as she lay still on the ground. I picked her up and stared her in the eyes. Her eyelids fluttered, but she seemed in shock.

I gently placed my love back on the ground and dialed Carlisle on my phone.

"Carlisle." My voice was tortured, panicked. I knew we could be put back together, but I had no idea how, I had never seen or done anything of the sort.

"Carlisle, Bella is in pieces, please help me. How do I heal her body?" I asked him frantically.

"You have to have every piece of her Edward, her venom will repair her but every piece has to be there for her to come back to normal."

I searched frantically, piecing my love back together. She was destroyed in so many ways. Her body was torn, and gouged at. I gently pieced her back together, feeling like I was putting a puzzle together. She didn't respond to anything, she simply stared blankly off. Carlisle was right, Bella's venom, which was seeping from her body at her wounds smoked slightly as her body healed itself and became whole again.

Bella was whole again, and I waited, I held my beautiful angle in my arms, holding her tight against my chest, my head buried into her hair. I inhaled her sweet beautiful smell and it filled my lungs intoxicating my mind.

"Bella…" a tearless sob escaped from my chest as I held her still motionless body.

"Carlisle.." I was on the phone with him again. "Carlisle she isn't moving. She isn't awake it's like she is sleeping."

"Edward, if you're sure she is whole, take her to the Forks house, we are all coming out there as soon as we can. Alice is making flight arrangements as we speak.

"Okay." I was desperate for my Bella to be okay. "And Edward…" Carlisle spoke up again. "Try not to worry, it will work out son."

The line went dead and I looked down. Bella's chest was softly rising and dropping as she breathed unneeded air. She wasn't dead, so why wasn't she awake. I scooped her up in my arms, holding her tight against my chest as I ran towards the old Forks house. I was there in about five minutes, and it was not long before I was jumping across the back river that ran behind the beautiful white house.

I opened the door, and walked in. The house looked the same as ever, and not even dusty. Cleaners came to the house ever so often to keep it dust free while we were gone from Forks. I ran up the stairs and laid Bella gently on the large bed that had been placed in my room since I had been gone. Esme must have gotten it for me. Bella's cloths were soaked with venom and partially torn to shreds. I didn't know whether I should change her but I felt maybe I should since her clothes were torn in manner that clearly left nothing to the imagination.

It was hard not to look at Bella, as she was like this, so naked, so innocent and vulnerable in my arms. Even as a vampire, she attracted danger. Then a terrible thought occurred to me. Had Bella run into the wolves on purpose? She knew that if she returned they would kill her...had she wanted to die. Had she wanted to avoid seeing me so bad that she would rather die than face me? The thought worried me a lot.

I left Bella on my bed, and went to Alice's room. I grabbed a soft t-shirt that had been left in the closet and some sweatpants. I swiftly ran back to my room, glad my angle was still on the bed when I got back. I lifted her gently and with vampire speed, the shirt was over her head and the sweatpants were hanging loosely from her frame.

I climbed onto the bed next to her and held her hand in mind as I caressed her beautiful face. Bella had always been beautiful, but her face was much more angular and yet soft now. Her pale skin and lavender eyelids were beautiful next to her soft mahogany hair. Her hair was different, longer. It ran down to the small of her back in soft loose curls, and her body was so soft to me, yet smooth. I held Bella to me and waited for my family or for her to wake.

About twelve hours later, the downstairs door opened. My family had returned. Carlisle popped his head into my room knowing where I would be. Bella was wrapped securely in my arms, still motionless. She had been whimpering every so often and her eye lids would flutter but I couldn't tell if she were in pain or not.

"Any change?" Carlisle walked over to her, and I moved back so he could examine her.

"Not really..." I was starting to lose hope. Twelve hours of desperation and isolation with my love had made me go a little crazy.

"Edward she will be fine, I researched on our way over, there is often a lag period before the mind restarts itself." I relaxed my shoulders a little and breathed a little easier as Carlisle patted me on the shoulder and then left.

Four hours passed by painfully slow, and I didn't leave Bella's side once. Then, she moved ever so slightly in my arms, snuggling down closer to my chest. I looked down at her in surprise, hoping that she was waking up.

"Edward..." she mumbled into my shirt.

"I'm here love. Your safe, your okay." I held her closer to me,

"Crap, I'm dead." She said, a small crease appearing between her eyebrows.

"Bella, I saved you your not dead."

"You're here." She stated, looking confused.

"Yes." I said simply. "I am here, and I am never leaving you again and I love you."

Bella looked up at me, doubt filling her eyes. "You don't love me Edward. You don't have to try and not feel guilty, I understand and I accepted it a long time ago. You don't want me, and I get that, but please don't lie to me."

"But Bella... I lied-" She didn't let me finish, but cut me off. "I knew it. You lied about loving me just now. Edward stop messing with my head, really just stop."

"Bella I lied when I told you I never loved you. I lied that day in Forks. I thought I was protecting you, I thought you would be safe but I am an idiot. Worse, I am an asshole. I made you believe something that broke you and me at the same time. I have thought of you every second of every day wishing I could go back and forcing myself not to, to let you live. Then I found out you were dead...killed by a wolf, and I knew I was the worst person in the world. Bella I am so sorry all of this happened. I do love you. I love you so much, please believe me. I need you Bella." I glared into her golden eyes, my eyes fierce on hers.

She opened her mouth to protest, but before she could, I crushed my lips against hers.
