-1Edward's POV

I watched my beloved writhe in agony as the venom seeped through her. I could already hear my father coming, with my brothers. I didn't care. I just didn't want Bella to suffer. I took her hand and squeezed it.

"It'll be alright Bella. I promise"

"How touching" said my father, entering the room "I see the stories are true"

"Yes they are" I said, not looking at him "I am in love with her. She may not be a noble but she is all I need and want"

"You are willing to die for this girl?" I stroked her cheek.

"Yes"

"Then it shall be. Jasper, tell our guests that we shall have an execution in four days time. That should give the girl ample time to change"

"Very well father"

"Emmett, take those two to the cell"

"Not using my name anymore?"
"That name belonged to my son. You are no son of mine" he swept out of the room. Emmett grabbed my arm.

"no need to pull Emmett. I'll come willingly" I picked Bella up and followed him to the cell. It was the same room that Bella had been locked in when she'd first arrived. I lay her down and sat next to her, waiting for it to be over.

Bella's POV. Three days later.

I woke up. I was in darkness but I could still see.

"Edward?" he squeezed my hand.

"I'm here love" I marvelled at the softness and warmth of his skin. This must be it. I must be a vampire.

"Where are we?"

"In the dungeon they kept you in at first. We're to be executed tomorrow"

"Oh. So soon"

"I know. I wish we had more time but that's just the way it is. I know it doesn't make up for it, but I'm sorry for everything you had to go through Bella"

"I don't mind. I got you out of it"

"Yeah. I love you Bella"

"I love you Edward"

"I love you both" said a voice. I jumped. So did Edward. We turned. I could see Jasper's lady friend, Alice.

"What are you doing Alice?"

"I'm getting you two out of here"

"How? If we escape my father will look for us"

"Not if he thinks you're dead"

"How are we supposed to do that?"

"Simple. We set fire to the castle"
