hey readers here's the next chapter. i added it in before my original chapter hoping it will answer some of your questions on why the Cullens are treating Bella the way they are. I can't explain why Bella is acting like she is until later on or it will give up a BIG part of the story before it's supposed to be told. hope you like it and please review.

thanks for all the inspiration. the more reviews i get the more I'm encouraged to write.

It's in Edward's POV

When we got back to the house they told Carlisle and Esme everything. Afterward they looked at me concerned. They were afraid that I was going to get emotionally involved and try to save her. They were right. Soon after Alice told us she had a vision she said we would succeed in saving Jamie and Darkness's down fall for now. We would defeat her, by death.

I 'm going to intervene; I'm not going to let her die. I will find a way to save her. I've already lost my heart; there is no way I'm going to lose my purpose for living. I will have my Bella back, my true Bella. She'll come back to me. "Edward, you can't intervene." Jasper stated to me breaking my trance as he read my feelings and tried to calm them.

"You can't expect me to watch my love die and do nothing" I yelled back furious.

"Your love? She betrayed us, sided with the Volturi. Then killed and turned millions including the werewolves. How could you still love her? She's not the Bella you think of!" Isabelle yelled to me with anger and hatred in her voice.

"Yes, she is. Somewhere deep inside her is my Bella and your not going to kill her." I yelled Back getting really close to her about ready to explode.

" Don't you get it Edward, she may not give us a choice. Sooner or later it's going to come down to us or her. Do you think she's really going to spare our lives? We're a threat, stopping her from getting what she came for. She's not afraid to take our lives to get to Jamie." Emmet yelled as I was leaving angrily.

"Edward, Edward" Alice called after me as I tried to make a break for my car. "Edward" she yelled this time stopping me. " We need to talk."

"There is nothing to talk about" I yelled with anger facing her with the vampire in my eyes.

"Oh yes there is. I've seen your fate if you take this road, she will kill you." Alice said

"What?" I didn't believe it Bella could never kill me.

" I know you don't believe me, but it's true. She can't be saved. You've been trying for 120 years and haven't succeeded yet. What makes this any different? She's not meant to be saved." She stated back.

" That's were your wrong she can be saved." I started trying to convince my self as well as her. " This time she's here and I actually see her, it should be easier. Besides even if it has been longer than 120 years I still won't give up." I added on yelling. Then stated, " I remember when you were on my side."

" Yes, but in those 120 years she's slaughtered millions of innocent people and have turned hundreds who joined her army. She's even killed Tanya's family all of them. All the big clans are no more besides the Volturi we're the only ones left. And if it didn't get even more personal she got the werewolves to. Including Jacobs Pack, you remember him. The one you came best friends with after she left, I still don't see why. Anyway she also killed your daughter's one true love Edward. I wouldn't put it past her if she were the reason Jacob died young. All our friends are gone because of her. Slaughtered when they even begged for their life. Some were along the lines Bella stopped being Bella. She is no longer the Bella we once knew. She's a cold-blooded killer, literally. She doesn't care who it is she kills just as long as she gets what she came for. She has to be stopped. I'm not going to let her take another innocent life, especially if we can do something about it. If killing her is the only way to stop her then so be it." She stated diligently looking at me.

"She's your best friend though." I stated looking at her.

" No, Bella is my best friend. The girl here in Forks isn't Bella. She's just some one who looks like her. If only you could see that." With that said she turned and left. So I got in my car and did the same.
