Edward

Victoria kidnapping Charlie? That didn't make sense! Even she wouldn't risk us all coming after her! Unless she was acting under someone's command…

Speeding through the streets of Seattle, me and my brothers barely made time to breath (not that we really needed to) as we searched high and low for Victoria's new 'base'. Something felt wrong, like someone was watching our every movement…

"Ed. Stop." Jasper whispered, weirdly.

"Why?"

"Look up there." He gestured towards the tall building that towered above us. In one of the top floor windows, we could see something… someone… watching us.

"See if you can hear his thoughts, Ed." Emmett said from behind me.

Usually, I could hear people's thoughts quite easily, sometimes without trying, but this time I had to try. I worked so hard that my head started to ache.

Finally I managed to hear him…"Hello, Edward. I know you can hear this. I told you I wouldn't hurt Bella if you obey me… So if you don't do what I want now, Charlie dies. Then I will go after your precious Bella myself and this time, she will die."

I finally knew what I had to do. My heart ached as I took my phone out of my pocket and dialled Bella's number.

"Hello? Edward?" Just the sound of her voice brought tears to my eyes.

"Don't worry. Everything's going to be okay. You're going to be safe and Charlie will be coming home soon. I want you to look after yourself and Jacob, you're going to live a long, happy life with each other. Don't miss me, it'll make it harder to let me go."

"Why does it sound like you're saying goodbye?"

"I am, Bella. This is goodbye forever. I love you so much but I have to go. Don't come after me, don't risk your life anymore. Just be with Jacob, forget I ever existed but never forget that I love you."

"Ed-Edward… You can't leave me… I need you."

"Goodbye, Bella. Please tell my family I love them. Be with Jake… Be happy." With that, I hung up. Her sobs rang through my ears as I walked up the steps towards the room where my future waited.

Stepping through the door, I saw Charlie tied up in a chair, unconscious. Stood at the window was a dark figure…

"Edward, Edward, Edward. How wonderful that you made the right decision." Aro said, turning around to face me. "Oh look, your darling brothers have followed you."

Emmett and Jasper were standing in the doorway behind me.

"Why don't you guys take Charlie back to Bella?" Aro spoke this time to my brothers.

They untied Bella's father with ease and carried him out of the building, without a word. They must have guessed what I had done…
