Chapter 3: Missing

AN: hey guys, here's the chapter you've been waiting for, Edwards reaction! I hope you guys like it! The next chapter might be EPOV or BPOV, I'm not too sure yet. For now please review and enjoy!

OH! I completely forgot the disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or Harry Potter; I'm much to dumb to write anything like that. This goes for Chapters 1 & 2 and the prologue.

EPOV

"wha, what do you mean she's disappeared?" I stuttered down the phone to Jacob, who had just informed me my wife was missing.

"I don't know, I think I've gone crazy! She just disappeared!" yelled Jacob. I was getting frantic now.

Maybe it was nothing, maybe she just needed to get out of the house for a while. But I know Bella. I know she would never leave Renesmee on her own. She always brought Renesmee with her when she went hunting. And I couldn't shake the feeling something wasn't right.

"Well she can't just have disappeared into thin air! Have you followed her scent? Is there any strange scents in the house?" I asked, as paced around the clearing which I was currently standing in. Emmet was following me around so he could hear what Jacob was saying to me, and he too was very confused by what Jacob was saying.

"No Edward, you don't understand!" Jacob yelled down the phone. "When I came into the house I saw her LITERALLY disappear into thin air. She didn't run, she didn't move, it just looked as if she was sucked into hole in the air or something. And an owl was on her arm! AN OWL! I'm not even joking. I think I've lost my mind!" Jacob yelled, and he sounded like he was having a mental breakdown. I stopped breathing. Now something was defiantly wrong. What has happened to my Bella? Where is she now? Is she safe? Is she even alive? No, I refuse to even think about that. After all, I've learned my lesson in Italy, I need to get the dead truth before I act.

"What about Renesmee, is alright? Did she see anything?" I asked.

"No, she's fine Edward. She was asleep when I got here. She still is now." He replied. "Edward, I knew something wasn't right the moment I heard her voice on the phone. She kept on saying goodbye, as if, well, as if it was forever!"

"DON'T say that Jacob" I interrupted, growling. "She would never just leave us with no explanation. She wouldn't leave our sleeping daughter without telling her goodbye, she wouldn't leave ME! Something is WRONG!" I screamed down the phone.

Emmet tried to take the phone off me but I didn't let him. "Edward, you need to calm down, you're gonna break the phone!" Emmet told me. I loosened my grip on the phone, which now had dents in both sides.

"Edward" Jacob said to me down the phone. "On the phone, she mentioned a DVD. Said to make sure you got it or something. There's a DVD on the sofa. The disc isn't a film, it looks like it's been recorded onto. She told me to make sure you got it. Maybe it's a message from her?"

I thought about it for a second.

"Call the rest of the family. I'll be there in 2 minuets" I said, before hanging up, and bolting in the direction of the cottage. Emmet followed closely behind me. It actually took me 1 minuet; 25 seconds to get home, but the rest of the family still beat me to the house. I registered their thoughts as soon as I arrive.

I've gone crazy… Jacob

She wouldn't just leave… Carlisle

Maybe it's the Volturi… Emmet

Oh I hope she's okay… Esme

The dogs finally lost it… Rosalie

She was acting fine earlier… Jasper

I burst though the door to find all of my family gathered around Jacob, who is holding a DVD case in his hand. There is no paper sleeve under the see through plastic, suggesting it's not a movie. Everyone turned to look at me, and the room became completely silent.

"Show me" I said, looking straight at Jacob. He knew at once what I meant, and filled his mind with what he saw. Well he wasn't lying. There was my Bella, as beautiful as ever, standing in the exact spot Jacob was in now, with an owl on her arm. She looked very distressed, before looking directly at Jacob and saying in a small voice "goodbye Jacob". What happened next nearly made me start to hyperventilate. Her whole body seemed flex into un-natural positions, and her feet were taken off the ground. It was as if she was being sucked into a tiny hole in the air just behind her, and her body was trying to fit into it. Her body whole body was disappearing into the hole, before she was gone completely with a pop. It had only lasted half a second. Jacob was right; she had literally disappeared into thin air. But it wasn't possible. It wasn't humanly possible. It wasn't even possible in the vampire world. There had to be an explanation, it was a trick or some joke.

"Where's Alice?" I demanded. Maybe she could explain why this had happened. Where Bella was now. If she was even still alive.

"She went out just before Jacob called us" Jasper replied. I growled in frustration.

"Edward please, you need to calm down. We're all just a worried as you are" Esme said, and she was right. I could see the desperation in her eyes. She thought of Bella as a daughter. She wanted to know where her daughter was, as did Carlisle. I then took the time to register everyone's emotions. Everyone was just as worried for Bella as I was.

"What's on the DVD?" I demanded.

"We haven't played it yet" Rosalie said. She looked at me and thought "Is she okay?"

"I don't know" I said, as I snatched the DVD out of Jacobs's hands and quickly put the disc in the DVD player. I sat on the floor in front of the screen, and the rest of the family gathered around the set.

At first nothing happened, the screen stayed black, but then Bella appeared on the screen. I almost jumped in surprise. This was recorded when she was human. She was sitting at her desk in her old room where I spent those many nights with her watching her sleep. It was strange seeing her as a human again, with those sparkling brown eyes and pink cheeks. But the Bella in the video didn't seem happy at all. She seemed quite nervous. She gulped, before starting, and took a deep breath.

"Edward, if you're watching this, then it means that I have left you without saying goodbye. I'm recording this now because, I know I love you more than anything in the world and for some reason, you love me too. I don't know when the day will come when I have to leave, it might be tomorrow or it might be years from now, but, I know for certain I will leave you at some point. And I when I do leave, I don't know if I'm going to be coming back."

She stopped and took a deep breath.

"I haven't been honest with you Edward. I haven't been honest with you the way you've been honest with me. You see, you're not the only one with a big secret. Renee and Charlie aren't my parents. Well, they aren't my biological parents anyway. And, well, my name isn't Isabella Swan. It's Isabella Potter. I didn't move to Forkes from Phoenix. I'm from England, not Phoenix. I moved from England because I had a mission to complete and then I needed to go into hiding."

She paused for a very long time. I knew she was about to tell me something even more shocking.

"I really don't know how to put this but, I'm a witch."

It took half a second for the words to set in. The rest of my family gasped. A witch? As in magic? Bella could do magic? But, that's impossible! Witches don't exist! But I used to think vampires and werewolves didn't either. Well it would explain a lot of things. The way Bella has never really told me about her life before Forkes in detail. The way she had no friends from Phoenix. The way how she didn't seem terrified at the fact I was a vampire. And perhaps, maybe, it would explain why the crescent shaped scar on her collarbone that she had while she was human didn't disappear after her transformation. Was it something to do with magic? I think I've gone into shock again like I did the time she told me she was pregnant. But I could still hear her voice from the recording.

"I know crazy right? But I swear I'm telling the truth Edward, I bet there was a time when you didn't believe in vampires and werewolves. But you know their real now. So please just believe me. Now, there's something else. I'm not an only child. I have a brother called Harry. Actually, he's my twin brother. Me and Harry aren't just ordinary witch and wizard siblings. When we were just over a year old, a dark Wizard was rising up and taking over the wizarding world along with his followers. His name was," she paused. She seemed generally nervous, as if she was terrified of saying this mans name. "His name was Lord Voldemort. Someone created a prophecy that twins born at the end of July will be his downfall. It said only two can live while the other has to die. Voldemort came to our house, and killed my father and then my mother whilst she was trying to protect us. He killed them using a dark spell. He then turned on me and Harry. The curse rebounded off us and hit Voldemort, almost killing him, but not quite. It rebounded because our mother had sacrificed herself to save us. Me and Harry escaped with nothing but a scar each, mine a crescent shape on my collar bone, Harry's a lightning bolt on his forehead."

She then went on to tell us about how they were adopted my Renee as babies, and attended a wizard school called 'Hogwarts' in England. She and her brother and their two friends, Ron and Hermione have had many adventures together. She talked about how she and her brother have fought Voldemort in a graveyard, saying about how he tried to make her his wife.

"He came up to me and told me he'd let Harry go if I agreed to stay. I wasn't concerned with my own safety, so I said yes. He made Harry go back to Hogwarts, and then told me how pretty I was." She shivered. "It was really gross, and really frightening. He then said he'd leave Harry alone if I promised to stay with him and become his wife. But I knew he was going to kill Harry, the prophecy said only two could survive. I wasn't stupid. So I spat in his face." She smiled, and I felt the corners of my mouth twitch. She was still the same person, even all those years ago.

"That got him pretty pissed. We fought and I managed to get back to Hogwarts, but ever since then he's been obsessed with me, trying to find me to make me his wife. He's been even more obsessed with Harry, trying to kill him off."

She continued to talk about her life, and explained about what Horcruxes where and how they had to destroy them. She also talked about how her headmaster knew that one was hidden in Forkes, and advised her to find it and stay hidden to get Voldemort off both her and Harry's backs. And by hidden, he meant pretend to be dead. The entire wizarding world thought she was dead. She explained that Charlie was actually an old friend of Renee's so he offered to be her 'father' in Forkes. And how, after only being with him a few months, she saw him as her father. It was weird, but, I could hear an English accent in her voice as she was speaking now. She said that by pretending to be American she blended in a lot more easily. I was shocked to find out I helped her find the horcrux next to our meadow. It was quite strange actually. She talked about how she never anticipated falling in love with me.

"I've wanted to tell you so badly Edward, and even more once you told me your secrets. But I can't, for so many reasons!

A. I can't prove to you that I can perform magic. Voldemort has put a hex on my wand, so if I ever use it, he'll know that I'm still alive. I think he does suspect it, because he's never taken it off. So if I tell you, but I can't prove it to you, you'll probably have me sectioned.

So, B. I'm protecting you and my family back home by keeping it to myself. I could never forgive myself if someone I love gets killed because I give in to temptation.

Oh that's another thing. C. vampires are immune to some spells, but not all of them, including the killing curse. You can still die. So you're not invincible to them. You're just as vulnerable as everyone else, so I cant let you get tangled up in this mess.

So there you have it, that's the me that you never knew existed. It breaks my heart thinking about leaving you, but when the time comes, I'll have to go back to Hogwarts to end this. I don't know how it will end, so I can't guarantee I'll come back. And I don't even know if you'll want me back after you hear this. Just know this Edward; I love you more than life itself, more than this earth or this universe. Nothing can compare to what I feel for you. So just please understand why I didn't tell you. Remember, it was in reverse once. Think about how hard it was for you to admit to me you were a vampire. How unsafe it made me. Just times that by a hundred and you have the position I'm in. I'm so sorry my love." She looked directly into the camera.

"I Love you" and the screen went black.

I was just about to get up when Bella appeared on the screen again, but this time she was a vampire. Her eyes were a crimson colour, suggesting this was filmed in the weeks after her transformation.

"Okay, so a lot has changed in the last year and half." She said. She was filming this in our bedroom. I must have been out hunting. "I don't know how you're feeling right now, or what you think of me, but please listen to me. You have given me so much more than I could have possibly asked for in my life. And you also gave me a miracle." She stopped for a moment. I could tell she was trying to cry, but obviously she couldn't. She looked straight at the camera. "Renesmee Carlie Cullen. My own little miracle. Edward, please, please, please! Look after our daughter. Please don't run off to the Volturi if I don't come back. I'm begging you; don't leave our daughter with no parents. I already know what it's like growing up wondering how my life could have been if mine were still alive. Don't make our daughter an orphan. If this is the last thing I ask you to do, then please do it. For me" She paused. "For her. Don't make her suffer for something I did. Please let her have a beautiful and amazing life, and please try not to let her hate me. It breaks my heart thinking about how she might hate me for leaving. It also breaks my heart knowing I'm putting the rest of the family through horrible things as well. I'm sorry, to all of you for putting you through this. But please don't be upset with me. You know why I couldn't tell you. I know the time when I have to leave is near now, Harry has nearly got his hands on the last horcrux, and when he does, I will be leaving you. I will send someone over to answer any of your questions. They mean no harm so please don't feel threatened by them. If I have sent them, they will say 'I am a friend of Bella's'" She suddenly stopped, and looked incredibly serious. "But I'm telling you this now. If they don't say that, if your instincts are telling you something's wrong, get out. Run as far away as possible. Make yourselves and Renesmee safe. Like I said, you're immune to some spells but not all of them. But if you're fast enough you should be able to dodge them. Just please stay safe. Edward, Jacob, protect Renesmee with your life. I don't know what spells effect and don't affect her. Just make sure she's not hit. If you see a green light, run faster than you ever have before, because if you don't you will die." She stopped again. I could feel that the DVD was coming to an end. "I meant every word I said in the last video, about me loving you Edward. I just hope you can forgive me. I hope you all can. I was actually thinking the other day that Renesmee could have wizard blood. His means she could be a witch like me. Or not. Just don't be scared if weird things start happening around her when she's older. Well I say weird, but by Renesmee's standards, it will be even more out of the ordinary than usual." She smiled. Suddenly, there was a noise of a door opening, and Bella looked sharply to her left.

"Bella?" a voice called. It took me a moment to realise it was mine. She looked at the camera, before mouthing, "I love you". The screen went black, and stayed black this time.

For a moment, there was nothing but silence in the room. But then the pain and anger started.

AN: OMG this chapter was sooooooo much longer than I first anticipated! I'm so sorry; this chapter doesn't really have Edwards's reaction in it too much. The next chapter will DEFINATLY be EPOV, and I promise you will get the full reaction. I needed to write this chapter for the story to make sense. Hopefully you can see how I have connected the two stories fully. I hope I haven't missed anything out! Anyway, in the next chapter I'm planning a really cute daddy daughter moment between Edward and Renesmee. Let's just say, Nessie wasn't entirely asleep when Bella left. And we will also be seeing a familiar face from HP. Any guesses on who it might be?

Please Review, I love getting them!
