Well thank you so much for all of the reviews! I was so excited I decided to post my next chapter sooner than I had expected to originally. So if I keep getting such positive reviews I am sure to keep whipping out chapters as quickly as I can Thank you all again I hope you enjoy!
Once again I regrettably do not owe any of the Twilight characters, they belong to Stephanie Meyer.

I stood statue still, which is not hard for a vampire, but I was not sure it was normal for my whole world to be spinning the way it was though. I took a quick breath, breathing thru my nose to get a good smell of my captor. Yes even if I had been human I would never have mistaken that smell.
"Bella, oh Bella." The voice spoke. I had yet to look up. I knew whom the voice had belonged to with out looking. Could vampires go crazy? I thought well I knew we couldn't get sick, and there was never a need for sleep so this was no dream. Bella was beside herself in trying to figure out what was wrong with her. She knew that in no way in heaven or hell she would ever hear HIS voice again so what happened to her?

I had just arrived at Forks it was in that moment that I became nervous what would Bella think when she saw me? Would she even try to let me explain the reasons for my actions? How could she after what I had done to her? But what if she had moved on what would I do if she had brought a mate with her? A small growl escaped my throat as I tried to imagine my Bella with another man.
Then I came to stop in front of Charlie's old house. I grimaced at the memories that came to mind as soon I broke into Bella's old bedroom. Everything was the exact same way it had been 32 years ago. I remembered holding Bella so many times while she slept and dreamed of me. I walked to the bed and touched the dusty fabric of her old purple comforter. Noting seemed to have been touched since the day Bella had last been there. Even her gentle scent still clung desperately to her dirty clothes that were left in the hamper.
I fidgeted with the floorboards as I took out the gifts I had hidden from Bella one by one. The photos of her and me standing together next to the stairs in this very house, The plane tickets to Jacksonville FL. That Esme and Carlisle had given to Bella so that she could go see her mother Renee. And finally I found the object that I knew my hiding it from her would have cause the most pain, the CD in the clear jewel case. It held the most precious song to me on it Bella's lullaby. I sighed remembering the look in Bella's eyes as I lied to her telling her that day in the woods behind Charlie's house that I had lost interest in her and no longer cared for her. I had watched as the light drained from her eyes and tears sprang to them as well, it killed me to think that Bella had believed the lies so easily.
Glancing into her closet I noticed a strange object that look rather tortured in the way its wires were bent and pulled out at odd angles. On closer inspection I found that it was the CD player Emmett and Rosalie had given Bella on that disastrous Birthday. I heard quiet whispers and barely the sound of footsteps that could only belong to the wolves or to vampires. I stood and looked out the small window with care and caught my breath there under the street lamp was Jacob Black and beside him was the most beautiful creature I had ever laid eyes on. Bella's once long brown hair held a glossy glow that seemed to beg me to run my fingers thru it. Her eyes though gone were the honey brown color that had once caught me in their depths were now a golden color not the burning red I had feared. Her pale skin looked so soft and the way she held herself spoke volumes of how her confidence had grown in this existence she had accepted.
I barely registered Jacob leaving even though I had heard Bella's musical laugh at whatever the dog had said I didn't have time to hide my self and there she was at the window letting herself in, the same way I used to when I was sneaking into her room all those years ago. I did not think my next action I only knew that I could not go another moment with her this close and not in my arms. I went to her as she opened the window and gently grabbed her and held her to my chest with my face in her hair breathing deep the intoxicating aroma that was Bella's scent. My arms gripped her to me as I whispered her name. "Bella, oh Bella" she stood as still as stone and did not seem to register anything.
I had so many hopes in that instant for she had not out right rejected me, but there were doubts as well for though she had not rejected me she had yet to accept me. I tilted her chin up to meet my eyes so that I could judge her reaction. When I saw hr eyes they were wide with … with shock. Then as I removed my other hand from her waist to touch her hair and hold her face so that I could memorize its details. A shiver ran thru her body and then with out warning Bella jerked away and bolted back out the window taking a few pieces of siding off the wall in her haste.

I stood so sill as the Edward phantom of my mind held me close to his still heart. This Edward was just like the real one I had wished for so long to return to me. I had yet to look at my phantom yet not wanting to ruin this odd fantasy. I was clearly insane now or maybe I had always been since he had left me but I only now comprehended how mentally ill I was. Then the phantom Edward lifted my face to meet his eyes with my own. As soon as I saw those beautiful golden eyes that matched my own I knew I had completely lost my mind. As his face lend closer toward me, I wanted in that moment to allow my insane illusions to have their way with me. I desperately wanted him to kiss me no matter how much it would torture me later when I realized it had never happened and it had all been in my head. But the other part of my mind that screamed at me to be rational won and when his grip loosened I did the one thing I was still capable with doing. I ran.
I hit part of the house and I vaguely heard the siding being wretched from the wall in my haste to escape my minds phantoms. The only problem was even though my final words to Victoria and Matt had been what danger could possibly be waiting for me in Forks? I realized that maybe the only danger that could have been more threatening than being hunted by some terrible force of nature would be dealing with the fact that I was insane with no exceptions now. Because I was unable to escape my phantom he was right behind me. I groaned as I realized where I had unknowingly been running. There just a few yards ahead of me was the Cullen's old house. Then something the shape of a smaller body collided with mine taking and crashing us both to the ground! The phantom right behind me I had no way of escaping.
