AN: I want to thank Dragon Crystals and Dallas Angel for the reviews. If you want your name up here leave me a review. Pretty pretty please.
Aro was about to rip Bella's head off. He had decided he would follow his maker's last order. He was going to kill her even though it pained him more than anything he had ever done before. His hands were in place. He was going to do it. He could do it. She asked for it. He wanted to follow her orders. It was a subtle change, but all of a sudden Bella's memories were flooding into him. He could see her every thought and emotion. He was astounded by Bella's immense memories. It was more than he had ever seen in any one Vampire. He could pick out the important memories as he had always done, and he realized he could not kill her.
She loved Edward too much. She wanted to die because of him. Aro would not allow it. Aro knew Edward's thoughts and whatever Bella had heard it was not what Edward truly felt.
As soon as Aro had all of Bella's memories he was being pushed aside with a force stronger than anything he had ever felt before. He knew it was Edward. He could hear her thoughts as well. He knew why she was doing all of this. He would surely put a stop to it. He would surely recognize his own Bella, she was not trying to be the Queen of the Volturi anymore, she was purely his.
Edward had heard her. He had seen her thoughts. She was in love with him. Nothing else mattered. She was in love with him, and he would save her. She wished for death, but only because she felt as though he hated her. Edward would not stand for this. He would not let anyone kill her it would kill him.
Bella's eyes were still closed, but she knew something was wrong. The presence in front of her was not her son. It was not Aro. No this was the presence she had longed for for two millennia. This was her other half. She could sense this. She wished she could open her eyes, but she was afraid of what she would see. She could not bear to see Edward's eyes full of hate. She wished she were dead already. She wished she could fix everything that happened.
Bella's mind had closed itself to Edward. He wanted to cry because her mind was so fascinating. Before her mind had closed itself again Edward had seen that Bella thought he hated her. He could not fathom why. Edward had always loved Bella every part of her. She was good through and through. He wished she would just open her eyes. He needed to see her eyes.
Bella could hear Edward's thoughts again. She had used her mirror mind simply because she was curious. His thoughts seemed to be of love. She heard him wish her eyes were open. She was still very anxious and had a feeling that if she opened her eyes everything would disappear. She dared though.
Bella's eyes opened. Edward cried out in joy. It was a primal sound of pure happiness. Even Bella whose mind was clouded by her delusion of his hate could see that Edward was happy. She could finally look into his eyes and see the same expression she had been prepared to walk with into death. She saw his love. She saw the same man she had married. She saw the same man who had changed her. She saw all of his love, and she hoped he saw hers.
Aro sat in the corner and saw this unfold. He was pleased that he would not have to kill his maker. He had finally seen all of her mind. He had seen her decision to make him. He had seen her first life. He had seen the life of the first vampire. The rules she set out for herself. He had seen all of Bella, and he loved his mother that much more. Aro finally saw the compassion in eating animals. He finally understood why Bella wished the entire Vampire race to have the golden eyes. He saw his maker's mind and he understood all of her pain and patience. He understood that she needed to be with her mate. She had denied herself his presence for two millennia and it was tearing her heart apart.
Aro felt as though someone had to speak. Someone had to explain what had happened. He walked over to Bella.
Edward saw Aro coming and immediately tensed. His thoughts, however, were not harmful to Bella he only wished for her to speak to the crowd assembled here to explain what had happened. He also wished for Bella to fully explain who she was. The last thought baffled Edward. He thought they had heard the entirety of Bella's previous life.
Edward squeezed Bella's hand. She had been reading his thoughts. She knew why Aro was coming. She nodded to him, and she prepared to delve into her could and explain everything to everyone. She pretended it was only for Edward because she didn't care about anyone else at the moment. She only wanted him to understand her completely.
She began at the beginning, the very beginning: her first human life.
Bella wished there were an easier way, but she started the only way she knew how, "I was born human. I was born knowing five things. One, I would create a superhuman race. Two, I would shape this new race. Three, I would rule this new race. Four, I would humanize this race. And five, I would do each of these things in a different life."
"I was born knowing these things, but I also knew not to tell anyone I encountered about these things. I was supposed to do all of this. I would sacrifice myself four times in order to do my bidding. These were my orders from someone up above. He told me so I would understand exactly what I had to do." I spoke to only Edward. "I have always had a soul. I have known that since I was born. Becoming like me has not taken yours away." He nodded seemingly like he wanted to cry.
AN: OK it's a little short, but Bella's previous lives start here. I figured I would make each of them into one chapter. Review and let me know what you think.
