Chapter 6: Discoveries

EPOV

I sat on my black couch, recalling the wonderful day I had had with Claire. After we I had escaped' from Emmett and Alice's little game, we found ourselves in the meadow where we had played the snowball fight. We lied down on the grass and asked each other question about us, never going too personal. I remembered how beautiful she looked in the moonlight. Her hair was shining like a star, and her eyes had a certain twinkle in them. As soon as I could no longer hear the panicked thoughts of my siblings, we headed back. I felt bad for leaving them there, but they'll get over it. Besides, Emmett and Alice still owe me for the time they scratched my Volvo, doing god knows what. I let my thought wander back to Claire again. She reminded me so much of my Bella. I couldn't deny the fact that I was falling head over heels for her. So my question was, what now? With Claire I was…happy. But do you deserve it? After what you did to Bella? The voice in my head taunted me. It was right, I didn't deserve her, and besides, she probably didn't feel the same way about me. However, I promised to myself I would always be there for her. I would try to fix the mistakes I had made with Bella and maybe in some way, I could make up for what I did. You know that's not going to happen. You can never make up for what you did, you monster.

About half an hour into my wonderful alone time, Alice barged in to my room, looking even more excited than when she used to take my angel on her shopping trips.

"Edward!" she exclaimed, prancing around my room. "I'm so happy for you!' she exclaimed, hugging me.

"For what Alice?" I asked, wary. It was never a good thing when Alice got excited, well at least not for me.

"Edward!" she said, giving me an exasperated look. "You're in love!" she exclaimed, jumping in sheer joy again.

I was at loss for words. How was I supposed to respond to that?

"What?" was the only thing I managed to get out of my mouth.

"Oh don't play stupid Edward! You're in love with Claire!" Alice exclaimed.

I tried reading her mind, trying to find a way to get out of her torture, but she wasn't thinking straight. There was so many different thoughts streaming through her head, I couldn't make them out.

"Alice Cullen, that's none of your business! Now get out of my room!" I demanded, growling at her.

"But Edward!" she whined. " Of course it's my business! After all you are my brother!" she protested, pouting slightly. How could someone so small be so annoying?

"Alice, please, just get out, I have a lot on my mind," I replied, trying to be patient, and calm.

"Fine! But I'll come back later, and maybe I'll bring C-," she started, her voice fading away as she ran out my door.

"Alice!" I roared, chasing after her. I was almost out of the door when Liz came and stopped me in my tracks.

"Oh! There you are Eddiekinz! I've been looking everywhere for you! I think we need to talk," she stated, looking deadly.

Having a 'talk' with Liz was really the last thing I wanted to do, but it looked like I would never hear the end of it if I didn't.

"Ok Liz, but I have to go somewhere," I said, annoyed.

"This will only take a minute," she said emotionless, brushing past me. She looked like she was trying desperately hard to be serious, and it was hilarious. She sat herself on my black couch, crossed her legs, and lifted her chin in a high ad mighty matter, and motioning for me to sit next to her. I walked hesitantly over to her and sat on the other side of the couch, staying as far away from her as I could.

"Edward," she stared solemnly. "I think that you should stay away from Claire," she paused and looked up at me, waiting for what I could only guess, some agreement on my part. I nodded and decided to speed things up by looking in her head.

"How dare that little bitch Claire even go near my Edward after I already threatened her twice! I'm going to have to deal with her later…" she thought.

As soon as I heard this, uncontrollable anger started to explode inside of me.

"You threatened Claire!" I demanded. My eyes had turned pitch black and I involuntarily started to snarl at her.

"Well, of course! I mean, what was I supposed to do? Stand back and watch that little human vampire thing steal my boyfriend away from me? I don't think so Edward!" she exclaimed, now raising her voice.

"Boyfriend?!" I questioned, outraged at the thought. Elizabeth, let me make this clear to you I am not and will never, ever in my entire existence be yours!"

The last thing I heard was Liz's shriek of anger, before I crumpled to the ground, and all was black.

BPOV

After the trip to the meadow I had ran upstairs, to take a shower. I still had the tingling sensation of out talk last night in the meadow. The very thought of Edward and I even talking, sent waves of happiness throughout my body. After I finished my shower, I checked the mail for any letters from Aro. I nearly screamed in joy when I found a letter in his usually parchment paper, containing an explanation to Lady Isabella. I quickly ran up to my room and scanned it over with my eyes.

Dear 'B,'

First off, I'm really sorry about the whole surprise Cullen thing. And although I am quite fearfully of the day when you return, I don't regret it. Bella, you need closure, I couldn't keep letting you live with the feeling of not knowing. As for the Lady Isabella thing well… we were kinda hoping that you wouldn't find out about that. We did it just in the hope that you might like to try living as well royalty. You see your title is now quite more than Lady, but now Princess, we thought it would get your mind off well, the Cullen's, if you got to run your own country. However now we see that that would have only been a temporary solution to your problems, and what you really needed was go back to them. I know you're going to be very angry when you hear about this, but please keep in mind that we were only thinking of your wellbeing.

We all love you Princess!

Aro

What was that supposed to mean!? He sent me here so that I could feel closure? And Princess? It was all so much to take in, that it left me sitting there in a trance like state.

"Claire, Claire!" a voice screeched, taking me away from my thoughts.

My eyes shot open, pulling me out of the confusing thought about Aro's letter, to see a frantic Alice. I've never seen her so, distraught. Her hair was a mess, worry was etched into her perfect features, and her eyes were pleading.

"What's wrong Alice?" I asked concerned, getting out of my chair and hiding the letter in one quick motion.

"Oh Claire! I had a vision! It's about Edward!" she said, frantically, and I knew if she was human she would be crying.

Edward! Oh, no, please, please be okay! I thought in my head, but hid my anxiety.

"Alice, listen to me, calm down!" I said sternly, looking into her eyes. She took a breath and tried to compose herself more.

"Okay, good. Now what about Edward?" I asked calmly, but on the inside I was screaming.

Alice looked like she was debating something before finally she said one word that made me bolt out of the door, even faster than Edward.

"Liz."

I couldn't think as I ran to Edward's room. The only thought that I could manage was 'I swear to god if Edward's hurt, that bitch is going down, I don't care anymore

It took me about three seconds to get to Edward's room. The door was closed, and I broke it down, not bothering with dealing with the possible lock. The sight of which I saw, made me stop dead. Edward was on the ground, unconscious, and getting paler and paler by the seconds. Liz was standing next to him, looking down at him with a look of satisfaction. I suddenly was hit with a million emotions at once. Worry, alarm, fear, pain, grief, hate, and finally rage. Uncontrollable rage took over and my instincts kicked in. I snarled and tackled her, but she evaded the attack. She came after me again and I kicked her with all of my strength into the wall, leaving a hole.

"What did you do to him!?" I demanded, furiously.

Sometime during this I saw the rest of the Cullen family come in, running immediately to Edward. As much as I wanted to see if he was okay, I kept my eyes on Liz.

"I only gave him what he deserved!" Liz spat back.

"Liz, I'm not playing! Tell me what you did to him, or so help me god I'll rip you into shreds before you even know what's coming!" I spat, my eyes a pitch black.

"Claire!" Alice protested. "You promised!"

"Not now Alice!" I exclaimed, my eyes never leaving Liz.

She lunged at me again, and I dodged it easily. I turned invisible and attacked her from behind, jumping on her back and bringing her down and pinning her underneath me.

"Oh!" she exclaimed. "That's how you want to play is it?"

She tossed me off of her, and I hit the floor, landing on my head.

"Claire, are you alright?" Esme called. Even if she couldn't see me I was sure she heard exactly where I fell.

"I'm fine Esme don't worry about me, is Edward okay?" I called back, preparing to pounce at Liz as soon as the moment was right.

"I'm fine!" he called back in a husky voice.

I sighed, and felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders.

"Alright Claire, let's see how tough you are without your powers!" Liz exclaimed, staring at me. Oh crap… Please still look like Claire, please still look like Claire… I pleaded in my head. I looked down at myself and saw that I was now completely visible, and there was something else. My hair was getting shorter, and browner by the second. I had a feeling that my freckles were gone, and last but not least, my skin got lighter. Vampire light. I was Bella again.

I was stunned. I had no idea of what to do, or how to react. I saw Liz, staring at me in shock. I turned my head ever so slightly, and dared to look at the Cullen's. They were all staring at me, taking the sight of me in. All of their faces had a mixture of emotions on them. Happiness, relief, shock, awe, confusion, some guilt, surprise, and then my eyes met the beautiful golden eyes of my angel. It was clear that the only emotion on his face was love. But I wasn't ready for this, I didn't want Bella to have to confront my former family. I knew why Edward left, and how miserable he was, but I was scarred. And so I did the only thing I could think of. I ran like a bat out of hell.

I was in complete shock at what just happened. My mind was still trying to process the fact that Claire, just turned into Bella, my Bella. So many emotions were running through m head, and I just couldn't pick one. Excitement, relief, guilt, joy, confusion, shock, but finally settled on love. I couldn't believe it! My angel was here, and alive! She's so beautiful as a vampire, even more so as a human. But something was wrong. Bella looked scarred. It certainly wasn't because of Liz, she had handled that fairly well, but she was looking at me, the fear evident in her beautiful blue eyes. Then she did something I never expected, she ran away from us, from me.

Without thinking, I immediately started chasing after her, following her into the woods. I didn't care about the trees that I was passing at a hundred miles an hour, or the fact that humans might see me. All I could think about, or care about, was Bella. I followed her scent until she was within my eyesight. She looked so scarred, and I couldn't understand why. I sped up, catching up to her and calling her name.

"Bella!" I cried, getting closer to her.

She turned her head around while running, giving me a glimpse of her face. Her cheeks were red, and her eyes were puffy, from the tears falling down her beautiful blue eyes. Her eyes held so much pain, and fear in them, it made my heart break.

"Don't follow me Edward," she whispered in a pleading voice.

"What?" I asked stunned, slowing my pace down considerably. "Bella, why are you running?"

She too slowed down her pace, and eventually I realized that we were now standing, facing each other. She was so beautiful, but her eyes were so full of pain and fear.

"Edward…" she started, in a frail voice. "I need to go, please don't follow me. It's better this way," she said, her eyes on the brim of tears.

"Bella love, clearly this isn't the better way if you're so upset," I reasoned, reaching my hand out to catch one of her tears.

"No Edward," she said, her voice was full of pain as she pushed my hand away. "I have to go, please, just let me go."

I was frozen, my hand still hovering in the air where she pushed it away from her. She doesn't want me?

"Bella why are you leaving?" I pleaded, meeting her eyes, which she broke away from. Then she turned her back to me without a word, and started walking away. About three feet away, she grew two beautiful wings out of her back, and flew away, leaving me shocked and heartbroken.

Okay there it is!! Edward finally found out about Bella, and Claire kicked Liz's ass. I know some parts of this may be confusing, like why Bella left, but it's because she wasn't ready to deal with Edward as Bella. Also she's afraid that he'll leave her again. Any other questions, feel free to PM me and PLEASE, PLEASE review!!!
