A/N: I have a surprising something planned for somewhere in these next few chapters. I am undecided on whether Hazel should live or die at the end of this. So, if you could give me your opinion that would be fantastic.

I am still so thankful for the reviews I've been getting, you all are so wonderful!

Okay, I will let you get on to this chapter. It may be a wee bit short, but I thought the ending was pretty good, a slight cliff hanger.

Disclaimer: I only wished I owned Twilight.

Chp. 12

Painful Memories

BPOV

"That's brilliant, Bella!" Jasper exclaimed, slinging his arm across my shoulder when I was done speaking.

I smiled up at the whole family, only to see their expressions mirrored my own. "So, you think it will work?" I asked Jasper.

He nodded slowly. "I don't see why it wouldn't." he paused. "But you're going to have to be very careful around her now, Bella. You will have to keep up the same attitude you had before she left, and you have to make damn sure Emmett's scent is completely gone whenever you get back."

I nodded. "I can do it."

A small smile tugged at his lips. He squeezed my shoulders once before kissing my cheek and standing up. "Carlisle, Esme, you should probably leave now." He informed them.

Esme nodded, and stood, but ran over to me and gave me a hug before leaving. "I'm so happy you're okay, dear." She whispered, planting a small kiss on my forehead.

I returned the hug, and then got up to give Carlisle one. Renesmee was fast asleep, her legs wrapped around my waist, and her cheek resting on my shoulder. "Good luck." I called out as Carlisle and Esme walked out the door.

When we could no longer hear them, I woke Renesmee. "What?" she mumbled sleepily when I shook her shoulder.

"Honey, I have to leave now." I whispered, rubbing soothing circles along her back.

Her head shot up and her eyes met mine with worry. "No!" she exclaimed, tightening her hold around my neck. "You can't leave me, not again."

"I'll only be gone for a little while." I said. "I have to do this to help Daddy and Alice."

She thought about it for a moment, and silence had filled the entire room. "You'll come back?" she whispered hopefully after a few minutes.

I nodded. "I'll be back before you know it." I took a deep breath, and squeezed her tiny body tightly to my own. Placing a lingering kiss on her forehead, I whispered, "I love you."

"I love you too, Momma." I set her on her feet, and tucked a loose curl back behind her ear. "Be safe, okay?" she said.

I smiled. "I will be. The same goes for you." I turned to the rest of my family then, but rested my gaze on my brother. "Thank you, Emmett."

He nodded. "Anytime, little sis." He crossed the room and pulled me into a tight hug. "You're gunna do great." He whispered encouragingly into my ear.

After the rest of the family was done with their goodbyes, I took off for the warehouse again. This time, I kept a cell phone hidden in my pocket. I made sure it was on silence, so Hazel wouldn't hear it.

When I got there, I immediately lingered in the doorway. I tried to get my scent to cover up Emmett's, and prayed that Hazel wouldn't be smart enough to notice that I had went outside.

Once I had touched my hands on every single inch of the door, doorway, and floor next to it, I was impressed at how well Emmett's scent had faded. I walked smugly back to the corner that I had been in before I was rescued, and slumped against the wall again.

I pulled out my cell phone, and sent a text to Jasper. He and I were the main operators of this plan, seeing on how it was our mates that were gone.

Emmett's scent is hidden, and Hazel is still gone. Have Carlisle and Esme found the others yet?

Less than a minute later, I had received a text back.

Great job, Bella. Unfortunately, no. They're still looking though. They've only been at it for a little over two hours, calm down.

My fingers danced across the keys, forming a reply in less than a second. I sent it, and slipped my phone back into my pocket.

Keep me posted.

Nearly a full twenty-four hours later, and Hazel had yet to return. And I had still yet to receive any news from Jasper.

Closing my eyes, I let myself think of Edward. Since I was alone, I could allow myself to do it. It had been well over a week since I had seen him, and that thought alone almost broke my heart. Every thought concerning him had been pushed away, and it was getting harder and harder with each passing second.

The first sob ripped through my chest painfully, and so did every single one after that. Once I started thinking about him, I couldn't stop. His face, his smile, his laugh, the way he always knew exactly what to say. I missed every single thing about him, even his stubbornness.

He was probably worried sick about me. He probably missed our daughter, who I got to see and hold in my arms today.

It wasn't fair.

Why did he have to suffer if this was about me?

What did he ever do?

All I did was cause him trouble. Everything I ever did had him constantly worrying or in danger.

But what I've caused the most of through the years we've known each other is not constant worry, or danger.

It was his pain.

Physical pain, because I was his singer. Emotional pain, when he had to leave me, because I was human. More emotional pain when I jumped off that damn cliff and he thought I was dead. Heartache, when I fell in love with Jacob. And then more emotional pain when I was pregnant, and when I had Renesmee.

And when we finally thought we were free from the pain, worry, and danger, this had to happen.

I just hoped he was doing okay, and that Alice was there with him right now.

After nearly an hour of sobbing, I tried to break my mind free from thoughts of him, and tried to control the sobs that had completely taken over my entire body. I couldn't handle thinking about him any longer.

When I was finally calm, I checked my phone, and sure enough, there was a text message from Jasper waiting for me.

They've found them. They're in on the plan. Everything's running smoothly. Don't worry, we'll get her.

I smiled triumphantly while I replied. I was ecstatic that my plan was actually working.

Excellent. I think this plan is really going to work.

I thought back to when I had suggested it earlier this evening.

FLASHBACK*

Jasper turned to me from his spot on the couch on the side of me. "What do you think we should do, Bella?" he asked.

"Well, here's what I was thinking." I began. "I should go back to the warehouse, and act like everything's completely normal. Somebody will need to go find her sisters, and get any information they can on her power. She has to have a weakness."

"What about my scent, Bella?" Emmett cut in.

I pursed my lip and thought. "She could always try to cover it up." Rosalie suggested. "Just touch everything he was near until his scent is completely faded. Cover his scent with your own."

"Good idea." Jasper said. "Bella, go on with your plan."

I nodded. "Yes, my plan. Alright, whenever we find her weakness, we have to use it against her. But it has to be when she'll least expect it. We can then force her to bring Edward and Alice back to the correct dimension."

"Esme and I can go find Sadie and Ava." Carlisle offered.

"That would be best, seeing on how you've met them before, Carlisle." Jasper approved.

Emmett shot up from his place on the couch and began pacing the room. "Bella, you're going to need a phone or something for us to keep in touch."

"I can use a cell phone. There's only a million lying around here." I said, but then thought of something. "I have another idea."

All the heads in the room snapped in my direction, with the exception of my daughter who was fast asleep in my arms.

"We need to get Sadie and Ava in on the plan." I said nervously, unsure if that was a good idea or not.

"That's brilliant, Bella!"

END FLASHBACK*

I was abruptly pulled from my thoughts by someone crashing through the warehouse door. Hazel stormed in and marched all the way over to me, stopping at my feet.

"What the hell did you do while I was gone?" she shrieked.

I shook my head frantically, trying my best to mask my face into an innocent expression. "What are you talking about?" I asked.

She rolled her eyes. "Don't act like you have no idea what I'm talking about. I followed the trail back to your house. I know you went there!" she exclaimed, throwing her hands up in frustration.

"I-I" I stuttered, unsure of what I was supposed to say.

She took a deep breath. "Do you know what this means?" she asked quietly. I shook my head. "Now we have to relocate." Her eyes met mine and I cringed away from the fire in them. She was beyond pissed, that much I could tell.

Out of nowhere, she chuckled darkly, averting her gaze from mine. "You really thought you could pull something behind my back? That's just too cute." She began pacing the room slowly. "But I'm not going to get upset with you, because I still need your help. Just do as I ask, and everything will return to normal."

"Tell me why." I demanded.

Her pacing of the room halted, and she looked over at me with a confused expression. "What?"

"Tell me why you want them dead so badly." I clarified.

She sighed, and began her pacing once more. "Haven't I told you this before? They called me weak. They told me I cared too much for human life, because I kill the bad guys only. But they're wrong. I will show them who is weak when I reduce them both to a pile of ashes." A wicked grin donned her lips, and I suppressed a shudder.

"I'm doing what is right, Bella. They're monsters. And monsters deserve to die."

I stood from my place on the floor and shook my head, walking slowly towards her. "But you're wrong. Nobody deserves to die. They can change…and so can you. You could drink from animals, as my family does."

I was now inches from her, and she turned her head so our gazes were locked. "You have no idea what you are talking about."

Just as I was about to reply, she straightened up, grabbing a hold of my wrist. "It's time to go now."

Oh man, I am so excited for what I have planned! Reviews make me happier than when I see a shirtless Edward or Jacob. And that's saying something.
