Twilight New Moon... Edward's POV Chapter 2:

I do not own Twilight. I will be using lines from the New Moon Movie Dialogue. All credit goes to the writer of the stories Stephenie Meyer, and to the Movie script writers. I will also be adding some details of my own that was not in the book or in the movie. Enjoy :)

(Life away from Bella)

Slowly life went on. The days and nights went on as I just wanted to die. I wasn't happy about anything anymore. The only time a smile ever appeared on my face was when I called the family, which was usually only once every three months.

Life away from Bella was torture. I was like a stone. Never moving forward. Always wanting to go back to her. I needed to let her have a chance though. Even though it hurt not to be with her. I wanted to rip my
un-beating heart from my chest and just die. I felt incomplete when I wasn't with her. Bella I miss you. I really do. I want to be with you, I will always love you.

I wanted to hold her, kiss her, snuggle her, but I ruined those chances. Oh how I wanted her back! I had screwed up, and I knew that now, but what if she found someone knew? What if she was in love with another? Happy? I couldn't ruin her life like that... I would stay away, no matter how much it hurt.

As I made this decision, my un-beating heart broke into a thousand tiny pieces.

(Rosalie's call)

It had been another four months since I made the decision to stay away, and it was breaking me. Today, I decided that since I hadn't called the family in almost five months that I should probably do so. Hesitantly I picked up my cell phone, and looked at the screen, my thumb over the send bottom with Esme's number highlighted... should I really call?

Yes, I had to.

*Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring*

"Hello?" Esmé answered in her sorrow filled voice.

"H... Hello Esmé..." I answered, ready for her to go into hysterics.

"OH EDWARD! I AM GOING TO PUT YOU ON SPEAKER!" I heard her click the button and every one shouted hello.

"Hello everyone." I said quietly. My voice sounding groggy, and sorrow filled. "I know I haven't called in a while. I am sorry, but I really need to talk to Alice."

"Alice is not here she is in Forks." Rosalie said. Everyone gasped.

"What do you mean Alice is not there?"

"Ok I made a promise to Alice, but I should tell you. Alice hasn't had very much luck having visions of Bella, so she has been really worried, and recently she just had a vision of Bella jumping off of the highest cliff in La Push." A sudden fear washed over me.

"WHAT?! IS SHE ALIVE?" I screamed worriedly.

"Alice doesn't know. She went to forks to check everything out."

"I am going to call her house. Stay on the line ok."

"Alright." I went on another line and dialed Bella's house.

*ring... ring... ring*

"Swan Residence." A husky voice said. It sounded familiar. It sounded like Jacob.

"Is Charlie Swan at home?" I asked. Jacob's response sounded irritated.

"He's not here now... He's arranging a funeral." I realized at that moment that Bella was dead. I needed a plan. I didn't want to live in a world where she didn't exist. I clicked on the send button to get back on the line with Esmé, Carlisle, Emmet, Rosalie, and Jasper.

"Are you guys there?" I asked full of sorrow.

"Yes, are you alright Edward?" Carlisle asked.

"NO, I CALLED AND BELLA'S FRIEND JACOB SAID THAT CHARLIE WAS ARRANGING A FUNERAL! I am going to the Volturi."

"NO, EDWARD YOU CAN'T!" Emmet, Carlisle, and Esmé yelled.

"Carlisle. I will not live in a world where Bella does not exist. Goodbye Carlisle. Or Mom, Dad. Goodbye." They were still trying to reason with me, and I hung up immediately. I thought it over for a second, and headed for Volterra. I got there under five hours of vigorous running.

(Asking the Volturi)

I made it to Volterra and went down to the entrance hall towards the Volturi's round room. The office lady spoke italian to me greeting me. Aro, Marcus, and Caius agreed to see me. "What is it you need my young friend?"

"My love has perished I do not want to live if she can't be in this would. Can you please help me by not making me live in a sorrow filled life?"

"We will consider your situation. In the mean time please wait in the room outside." I nodded my head, and sat down in the room. I waited for two days. I was hating them for making me suffer. Then finally they called me in.

"So, have you all made up your minds?"

"I'm afraid your particular gifts...are too valuable to destroy. But if you're unhappy with your lot,...join us. We would be delighted to utilize your skills. Won't you consider staying with us?" Aro said in a calm voice.

"But Aro, you know it will happen anyway." Marcus looked at me with his thirst filled eyes,

"Not without cause!" I smirked, and turned giving them the impression that I was going to give cause for them to kill me off.

"Such a waste." I heard Aro exclaim. I reached the main floor, and the clock on the tower was almost noon. I decided I was going to expose myself. During the hugest parade in history. It was only three minutes til noon. I removed my shirt so my chest would shine in the light of the sun. As I stood off of the step exiting out of the safe shade that protected my secret. After I got one foot out I heard feet slamming hard on the cobblestone ground. I was out of the shade for not even two seconds, and I felt something warm slam into my body. No pain, but a heart warming feeling.

"No!" The heavenly voice was Bella's. Her angel self was greeting me. I felt in peace, in relaxation.

"Heaven." The angel's breathing was trembling.

"You have to move! Open your eyes, look at me. I'm alive. You have to move!" I opened my eyes immediately and saw that BELLA WAS STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! ALIVE!

"Bella?" I walked backwards back into the tower wrapping my arms around her. "You're here?" Her breathing was troubled.

"I'm here." I was SO HAPPY!

"You're ALIVE!" I exclaimed in happiness. She was breathing heavily, and looked like she was going to cry.

"Yes... I needed to make you see me once. You had to know that I was alive. You didn't have to feel guilty or anything... I can let you go now." She said calmly. I didn't want her to let me go. Please don't let go!

"Bella, I never acted out of guilt. I just couldn't live in a world where you don't exist." I said it full of passion, and love, and explanation.

"But... you said?"

"I lied. But you believe me so easily."

"The reason I believed you was because it doesn't make sense... for you to love me... I mean, I am nothing, I am human, Edward, I am nothing." I clutched her closer in my arms.

"No, Bella, You're everything to me... You are everything to me." I brought her body closer to mine and I never let her go. One arm wrapped around her, the other with its hand rubbing the side of her face. My lips touched hers and my world exploded. This was the first time I had kissed her in months. I never wanted to let her go. Lips touched, and left, and touched again. I heard a gate open, but I kissed her a couple more times. And Demetri, and Felix caught us in our last kiss. I looked to them. "Looks like I won't be needing your services after all, gentlemen."

Felix looked at me. "Aro would like to speak with you again."

"No rules were broken."

"Nevertheless, we should take this conversation... to a more appropriate venue." I was going to agree to go.

"Fine." I looked at Bella once and looked back at Demetri, and Felix. "Bella, why don't you go enjoy the rest of the festival?" Felix scoffed.

"The girl comes with us." I got angry.

"NO! You can go to hell." The key on the door smashed, and Alice came in smiling.

"Come on guys! It's a festival... You wouldn't want to make a scene." Felix smirked.

"No... We wouldn't." The gate opened again, and Jane came into view.

"Enough!" Everyone's smiles immediately faded. "Aro sent me to see what was taking so long." Alice looked at Bella.

"Just do as she says." She whispered. I took ahold of Bella's hand as we were led downstairs to where the Volturi sat awaiting our appearance.

"Go ahead." Jane said. I looked at Bella.

"Don't be scared." She looked at me with those beautiful Chocolate brown eyes that I had longed to see in my expanded absence.

"Are you?" She asked.

"No." Jane scoffed, and we passed the Italian receptionist. The receptionist stood up with a smile.

"buon pomeriggio" (Good Afternoon) Bella looked shocked.

"Is she human?" I nodded. "Does she know?"

"Yes." I answered back not trying to say anything more.

"Then why would... She wants to be..." She had guessed perfectly.

"And so she will be." Demetri said in a persuading tone. Jane smirked at Demetri.

"Or Dessert." I scoffed at that considering Bella was around. When we entered Jane's brother was praising Jane and Aro saw Bella and smiled immediately.

"What a happy surprise Bella is alive after all. Isn't that wonderful. I love a happy ending." I held Bella's hand tightly. "They are so rare. Her blood appeals to you so much, it "La Tua Cantante. " (Your Singer) "Her blood appeals to you so much, it makes me thirsty. How can you stand to be so close to her?" I blinked once.

"It is not without difficulty." Aro chuckled.

"Yes, I can see that." Bella squeezed my arm tighter. I looked at her.

"Aro can read every thought I have ever had with one touch..." I pulled my hand away from his. "And now you know everything, so get on with it." I think I startled Aro.

"You are quite a soul reader yourself Edward... though you can't read Bella's thoughts." His eyes widened. "Fascinating! I would love to see if...you are an exception to my gifts, as well. Would you do me the honor?" He closed his eyes and nothing happened. I chuckled. "Interesting. I see nothing. I wonder if... Let's see if she is immune to all our powers. Shall we, Jane?" Fear washed over me immediately. I pushed Bella behind me.

"NO!" Jane smiled at me.

"Pain..." She said that one word and I was in flames. It felt like my un-beating heart was being ripped from my chest. I fell to the ground, and Bella tried to run to me, but Alec stopped her, and Alice tried to help, but Demetri got a hold of her. Bella looked so scared.

"Stop! JUST STOP HURTING HIM! PLEASE." Aro looked over to Jane.

"Jane..." She dropped her gaze,

"Master?" She asked. Aro looked back at Bella.

"Go ahead dear." Bella looked like she was preparing herself.

"This may hurt just a little." Jane said giving her a warning. Bella nodded her head once and waited for the pain to flow into her body. Jane went into her power glance, and Bella shook her head like she was waiting for it.

Aro laughed. "Re..markable." He said totally fascinated. "She confounds us all. So, what we do with you now?" He asked staring at Bella as she helped my to my feet. I flinched at Marcus, and Caius's solutions in their minds.

"You already know what you're going to do, Aro." Marcus said.

"She knows too much, she is a liability." Aro sighed.

"That's true." Bella looked a like scared. "Felix?" He said calmly. I was truly frightened. I ran towards Felix and tumbled him to the ground. Felix and I fought, and then he had a hold of me, and was about to kill me in front of Bella.

"PLEASE, NO! NO, NO, PLEASE, PLEASE!" Aro motions for Felix to hold on. "Kill me, kill me, Not him." What? She was going to kill herself for me? No I wouldn't let it happen. Aro looked at her totally mystified.

"How extraordinary. You would give up your life...for someone like us. A vampire. A soulless monster." I got frustrated.

"JUST GET AWAY FROM HER!" I threatened. Bella looked like she was angry with him.

"You don't know a thing...about his soul." I was totally shocked by her intense attitude.

"Forse è uno o l'altro. This is a sadness. If only it was your intention to give her immortality." Aro said with sorrow in his voice. I winced at the thought. I wanted to scream "no" when he grabbed ahold of Bella to bite her. Alice straightened up, and looked worried. Aro was only an inch away from Bella's throat.

"WAIT!" Aro stopped for minute, and looked at Bella. "Bella will be one of us. I've seen it. I will change her myself." I winced at the thought. Aro extended his hand towards Alice to see what she meant. Alice removed her apple red glove, and placed her hand in Aro's. I could see the vision threw his mind. It was beautiful. Bella was beautiful.

"Mesmerizing! To see, what you have seen. Before it is happened." Aro looked over to Bella again, and touched her cheek. I was seeing red about that. He looked Bella right in the eyes. "Your gifts...will make for an intriguing...immortal. Isabella. Go now. Make your preparations." Marcus looked relieved, and stood up.

"Let us be done with this. Heidi will return any moment. Thank you for your visit."

"We'll return the favor. I would advise...that you follow through on your promise soon. We do not offer second chances." Caius seemed irritated, but I grabbed Bella and grabbed her hand leading her to the elevator we took down here. Heidi came down the stairs with a large group of humans, and Bella tried to look behind us, but I forced her body the other direction. There were high-pitched screams from all of them. We boarded a plane as soon as one was available. We got on only for another explanation...
