Edwards POV
I thought if I just kept running, kept moving forward, I would forget her. For get her smile, her scent, her heart. But I was wrong. Even in South America I couldn't forget her. A part of me wanted to go running back to her right now, to tell her I was sorry, to beg her to take me back. But I knew she would be better off without me, and my family. I sighed.
My phone vibrated in my pocket. Alice again. She had been calling non stop for the past several days. Annoyed, I answered. "Why do you persist on calling me, you know I don't want to be found," I said. "Get back here right now, its Bella," Alice yelled back.
My whole body tensed. "Is she okay?" I asked, serious this time. "Victoria, she changed her. I saw her killing humans, I'm afraid to go to her alone, she's not too happy with us," Alice said in almost a whisper. "I'm on my way," I replied, and quickly hung up the phone. I had to go save my love's soul.
When I got back to America, I didn't bother calling Alice. I should do this alone, and I'm sure she saw that. I traced her sent through Forks, and into our meadow. Why did I ever leave? I felt disgust, she was changed here, in our place. I should have known, Alice should have seen, what me leaving would do to her. I growled.
I swear I'll find you, Bella, where ever you are. I traced her through the forest, where she killed the woman, to the house, and to the abandoned building her and Victoria had been staying. I ran and busted to door down. Empty. I searched every room, empty. My Bella was gone. I still smelled her, along with Victoria. However, there were two strange vampire scents as well. This can't be good.
I called Alice. "She's in Italy, come home now," was all she said before hanging up.
Italy. The Volturi. God, Bella. I may never see her again.
Bella's POV
If I leave, I may never see him again. I may never hear his voice. I may never feel his touch. But he wanted it his way. He's the one that left me, he should have known this would happen, that Victoria would find me. But he didn't care. So why should I? I swear one day, I'll have my revenge on him. I swear.
I took one last look at Washington before boarding the private jet, Aro had arranged for us. "Come now, Bella," Victoria said. I sighed and obeyed. I boarded the plane, nervous about what was in store from me once we reached Italy. "You'll make a fantastic addition," Aro said excitedly.
A fantastic addition to what?
