I am so sorry it has taken me so long to update. I have a midterm due so I haven't been able to work on this story as much as I would like but hey, that's college for ya. Anyway, here's the next chapter and I hope that you enjoy it. Please review.
Bella PoV
The soft murmur of voices brought me back from the darkness that had enclosed me. My head felt heavy but I willed my eyes to open. At first everything was bleary, but as I adjusted to the light I was faced with a vision that made my blood boil. Edward Cullen was leaning over me.
The thoughts of what he had done to me flashed before my mind and I felt the need to destroy him, to make him feel the pain I had gone through. I threw out my hand and pushed him into the grandfather clock. I had always hated that stupid clock. The gasps of my name alerted me to the other people in the room. I looked to each of the.
Alice Cullen was the first person I saw. She was supposed to be my best friend! She left me, knowing that I loved them, knowing that I would hurt. Standing next to her was Jasper. I had no personal qualms with him, but he was a Cullen, and all Cullen's were my enemy. Emmett and Rosalie stood to the left of him. Emmett was the first person who I thought of as an older brother, and he left me. And Rosalie! She was a bitch. She was always glaring at me, as if I was worth less than the dirt beneath her pretty designer shoes. Carlisle and Esme were like parents to me. They told me they thought of me as a daughter, yet they left me to die. And my family! My own mother and father gave me away. They were the charmed ones; they should have been able to protect me without giving me to the swans. My brother weren't given away, they got to grow up with their family, weren't told a lie. My aunts did nothing to stop my parents from giving me away. I was so angry I threw them against a wall; holding them there.
Suddenly a lower class demon flamed into the room. What did he want? "My Queen!" He hailed. Queen? Well I kind of like the sound of that. "I was sent to take you to your castle." I smiled evilly and took his hand, and just as we flamed away I heard my aunt yell for me not to do it. Hunh…like she could stop me.
The next think I knew I was in a very posh looking den. The walls were light beige and the furniture was top dollar black leather. There was a whole wall of glass, kind of like what the Cullen's had in Forks, which opened up to a large balcony overlooking the entire city. Two large double doors stood on the farthest wall and I assumed it was the master bedroom. I wanted to explore my 'castle' more but the presence of another person in the room prevented me from doing so.
Damon stood before me, dressed all in black. "Welcome home, my queen. I hope you like it, chose it especially for you." I had to admit, the boy had taste. I found myself wondering why I had ever strayed from his side. Maybe now that I was seeing clearly we could be together, and rule the world as king and queen.
"Yes, I love it Damon. It is perfect." I replied, openly admiring him.
"I'm glad. Now that you are queen, you must live like a queen. And it is my job to make sure you are happy. Now I'm sure you want to get used to your new home. Is there anything I can get for you, my love?" Damon asked in his sexy, rich voice.
"Your love?" I asked. "You still love me, even after I left you while I was on the other side?" I slunk closer to him in a sexy way, aware of his eyes following my every move. Slowly I reached my arms up around his neck and brought his face closer to mine. "There is one thing I want you to give me, Damon." I wisped.
"And what would that be, my lovely queen?" He asked just as quietly, playing along with my little game.
"Kiss me." I commanded, and his lips sealed to mine, but in the back of my mind a voice was saying that this was wrong. I chose to ignore it, as I continued to kiss him in a way I had never been kissed before.
EPoV
After Bella had left my family, as well as the entire Halliewell family gathered in the living room. Everyone was still in shock over what had just transpired. What was wrong with Bella? Why would she willingly go with a demon when she had spent the better part of the past year killing them? It just didn't make any sense. What could have Damon possibly done to her?
"I think I know what is wrong with Bella." Phoebe said softly while running her fingers through her youngest son's hair. "That powder that Damon threw at her, twisted her view of things. It enhanced all of her anger and turned her to the side of evil. When I was with Cole I underwent the same thin. Everything she has ever doubted, feared, hated, cried for is now her enemy. She has become the Queen of the underworld." Piper and Paige looked down at the ground, remembering the events that had once made their sister their enemy.
"Ok, so now that we know what is wrong with her, let's look for a way to reverse the effect." Wyatt said, taking charge of the situation. Chris on the other hand was silent the entire time. He was the closest one to Bella, and was taking her absence the hardest. "If what you said is true, Aunt Phoebe, she will be coming to exterminate what has caused her pain. I'm willing to bet my entire college fund that it's going to be the Cullen's first. No offence." He said, clearly wanting us to take offence.
"Wyatt, be nice. Anyway Chris and Wyatt, why don't you two go up to the attic and see if there is anything in the book about reversing the potion. Leo, you go check with the elders. The rest of us will stay her and think of a way to lure her here." Everyone nodded as Piper gave out instructions and pretty soon it was only Piper, Paige, Phoebe and Coop in the living room with us. I had a feeling she had something to say to me, concerning why I had left her daughter.
"Now for you, Edward, I have one question. Why did you tell her that you didn't want her?" Her question surprised me. How did she know that I had lied about not wanting Bella? I was about to open my mouth to lie and say that I rely didn't want her, but Coop cut me off.
"Don't even think about it, Edward. I know for a fact that you still love her, so cut the crap. I have never seen a couple more in love than you and Bella, and every day I feel her hurt at believing her love doesn't love her. I can also feel the love you have for her, and it is so strong it transcends time." I was touched by his words. I sighed.
"I lied to her because I wanted her to live. She would have never been able to have a full life with a normal family had I stayed and I knew that she wasn't going to give up so I had to tell her that I didn't want her. It was the darkest blasphemy I have ever spoken." I was slightly offended when her family members laughed.
"Ha, she will never have a normal family. Were witches." Piper laughed.
"That's not what I meant. If we were to stay together, she would never be able to have children and grow old with a man. She would have grown old, while I stayed 17 for the rest of eternity, and that isn't fair to her. And she would die one day, and I know it's selfish but I wouldn't be able to handle watching the life drain out of her." I explained fervently.
Phoebe smiled. "There is a way to have her for eternity, and it is within your grasp. You could turn her. And as for children, I have spoken with her about that, and she has no intention of ever having children, let alone fall in love again. She loves you and she would give you her life." Her eyes shown no lies and I considered her words before speaking again.
"I could never condemn her soul to hell. She deserves to live." I said weakly, knowing I was losing my battle.
"Without you, she isn't living. When we save her, tell her that you love her. Tell her why you left. Ask for her back, and make her happy, make yourself happy." Piper said. "I would love to call you my son-in-law." I felt a strong sense of compassion and love for this woman who had no problem opening her heart to the boy who once broke her only daughters heart. I quietly bowed my head.
"Thank you. I will take your advice." Alice huffed.
"This is unbelievable. I have spent the better part of the last year trying to get you to come to your senses, and go back to Bella, and they get you to go back in less than 10 minutes. Hunh that shows how much you love me!" We all laughed.
Bella PoV
As the sun went down and the city began to glow with the lights of buildings, I found myself standing out on the balcony that now overlooked my empire. Any witch knew that the city was crawling with demons, and I now controlled them all. The thought was truly amazing, and yet I was incomplete. What was missing?
After the breathtaking kiss that Damon and I had shared, he had left to inform the underworld of their new queen. I had been alone ever since. This time to myself had given me a chance to think about what I was going to do now that I was queen. There was so much I could do, that it seemed almost impossible to choose.
No, that wasn't true. I knew what I wanted to do first. I wanted to make the Cullen's pay. My anger flowed through my veins like acid. When I was finished with them, they would wish they had never met me, let alone hurt me.
"Why, my queen, what brings you out to look upon your faithful servants?" I heard Damon ask from behind me. He had just returned apparently.
"I'm making my decisions on what I would like to do." I said sweetly, turning to face him.
"And have you made your choice?" He asked, and moved closer to me so his arms were wrapped securely around my waist.
"Indeed I have. I want the Cullen's exterminated." I stated.
"I will have someone put on that right away." He said and moved to turn away from me. I grabbed his arm.
"No. I want to be the one who destroys them." I said in a voice that left noting to be discussed. This was my mission, and no one would stop me.
"Of course milady. Would you like me to accompany you?" I thought for a second. Did I rely want him to come with me?
"Yes. Be ready in 10 minutes. I just need to change. I want to show them I'm not their little girl anymore." I said and briskly walked to my bedroom. The large walk in closet was filled with beautiful clothing, fit for a queen. I chose a pair of skinny black jeans and a very revealing maroon top. This was perfect. The old me would have never willingly worn this outfit.
"You look devastatingly beautiful, my love." Came Damon's voice from the double doors. He stood there in his black clothing, looking like the god that he was. "Are you ready?" He asked.
I nodded and we flamed out of the room, only to appear in the attic of my former home, Halliewell Manor.
EPoV
To say that we all were shocked at the sudden appearance of Bella was an understatement. We had all thought that we would have needed more to lure her here, but apparently she was out for blood. She looked ravishing in her maroon top that hugged her curves in all the right way, and the tight skinny jeans that showed off the appealing shape of her round derrière.
"Well, hello Cullen's. Ready to die?" She asked in a sickly, sweet voice that I knew wasn't hers. She raised her hands and all hell broke loose. I couldn't believe how powerful she was, and to avoid her lightning my family ducked behind an overturned couch. That Halliewells were busy trying to fend her off, but weren't succeeding. Then I saw my opening. Damon. He was turned away from me, throwing energy balls at Wyatt. With a burst of speed I leapt at him. This was the man who had touched my Bella, who had turned her against us, who had hurt her. I quickly immobilized him, and Wyatt took the kill.
"No!" Bella shouted, upon seeing her partner vanquished. She realized that she was outnumbered and loosing and looked ready to retreat. I had to do something. Without thinking, without feeling, I grabbed her and held her to my chest.
"Bella stop!" I shouted at her. Her family had gone still, watching me wrestle with her. "This isn't you." She looked at me with tears in her eyes.
"How would you know? You don't know me!" She screamed back at me. She began to pound her fists against my chest. "You don't care about me. You left me to die. If you had ever loved me you wouldn't have left me." She was full out crying now, and I couldn't take it anymore. I pulled her body closer to mine and kissed her. I was no longer guarded. I wouldn't let her go, not now, not ever. She was mine and I was hers. I pulled away to breath and she looked slightly dazed.
"Bella, I never stopped loving you. I left to give you a better life, but I was wrong. I love you Bella." I whispered in her ear, and she was suddenly surrounded in white light. When it faded, my Bella was there. She was back to her normal self. Love had broken the spell, in a cliché kind of way, but I couldn't be happier.
"Edward…" She whispered, and fell unconscious with the fatigue of the events that had occurred today. Holding her in my arms, I vowed then and there, I would never leave my Bella, my heart, again.
Ok. There you go. I hope you enjoyed it. I know I made the whole 'Bella gone evil' rely short, but I wanted to get it out of the way so that she could make up with Edward. Now what should I do next? Should I have her marry Edward and then change her, kind of like in the real Twilight? Should she still get pregnant? Let me know what you think. Just a FYI if she does have a baby, it won't be that whole fast pregnancy thing, and the baby sure as hell won't be named Reneseme.
