"Bella, if you go home, you won't be able to come back" Alice told her.

"That can't be. I have every intention of coming back here" Bella was arguing, not understanding why that was supposed to happen.

"What if you can't find a way back? That would explain why if you leave, you'll no longer be part of our future." Alice explained.

"If I was able to get here, I'm sure I can find a way to come back! I have to." Bella was adamant.

"Does anyone even wonder why Bella disappears from our future if she finds her way home? And where is home anyway?" Emmett was curious.

"Interesting. The only thing I could think of is that Bella is not from this world that's why Alice can't see her." Jasper was saying.

"From another world? That's crazy!" Rosalie exclaimed.

"That's the only thing that makes sense even if it doesn't" Jasper rubbed his temples.

"Doesn't that bother you at all? I'm bothered by it and that's coming from a vampire" Emmett exclaimed.

"It still doesn't explain why you have abilities beyond a normal human being" Alice added.

"Oh Bella, this must be so much to take in. If there was only something we could do to help" Esme came to Bella's side and was now comforting her. "Carlisle?"

"It's really hard to wrap our mind from all this information we're getting but we're still back to where we started. Bella only remembers what happened but not who she is and that's what we need to work on. What do you think Edward?" Carlisle asked.

I couldn't seem to grasp Carlisle's question. I was hearing their conversation, but I wasn't really paying attention.

The moment I saw Alice's vision that Bella was gone in our lives, my world fell into pieces. Now that I found Bella, I could not imagine a world without her in it. I would be glad to suffer from the burn on my throat knowing that Bella was here beside me. Everything doesn't seem to make sense. If she decides to leave, would I have a choice?

The noise from my surrounding suddenly stopped and everything seemed quieter. I listened carefully and all I could hear was the sound of nature all around us and one steady heartbeat beside me.

"Edward?" It was her voice calling me, trying to get my attention. I realized that it was just the two of us now. It seems my family was nowhere to be found.

"Are you okay?" She said softly. Warm hands were trying to hold my still cold hands.

I looked at her and there was worry in her eyes. "Please tell me what's wrong?" She lifted her palms to my cheek.

"Bella… Do you want to go back?" It was hard for me to say those words, but she saw… she saw the pain that it was causing me, and she wrapped her arms around me.

"I have to… I need this Edward. I need to know"

The truth is… I understood her, and I wanted to help her but knowing that she would have to leave to do that, it was too much for me. The idea was ripping me apart and I couldn't bear the thought of Bella not being here by my side, to not exist in my future. I would do anything... I would follow her to every corner of the world, just so that I can be with her forever.

Then it hit me.

"Bella?"

"Yes?" She asked tentatively

"Would it be too much to ask if I go with you?" She looked up at me and I could see that she wasn't expecting that question. I wasn't expecting it either but if Bella finds her way back to her world, if she really is from another world, then I would follow her.

It took forever for her to answer and the frustration that I was not be able to hear her thoughts about the matter was consuming me.

I took a deep breath to calm myself.

I had to wait patiently wait for her response.

"I would want that… very much." She finally spoke but then added "But I can't let you leave your family. That's unfair for you, for them."

"They'll understand" I reassured her, but she doesn't seem convinced. They would because that was how they were. I'm sure Alice would probably see my future disappear together with Bella now that I made the decision but they would understand. I've lived all my life alone and with a chance to be with Bella, knowing that I can be with her, I was going to make sure that I would be living the rest of my existence beside her, no matter which world we were in and I know that my family would be there to support me with my decision.

"Besides, it won't be much of an existence if you won't be in my life now. I might as well be dead" I added on a serious note and she gasped, the pain in her face clear.

"Don't you dare say that!"

"Bella… there is no life for me without you"

"Then… find a way… find a reason to live" That was... impossible and I know that she knew that.

"It's different for us vampires. When the one we love is taken a way for us, it's like dying a thousand deaths. Imagine spending the rest of eternity feeling that emptiness inside you, burning you, eating you up." She was silent before she could response.

"I can't… I don't want to…" She gasped as her hand clutched her chest with the imaginary pain.

I carefully grabbed her closer and held the hand on her chest, assuring her that she won't ever feel that pain.

"So, you understand why I would rather go with you than be alone here?"

I could sense her thinking hard, but of what, I would never know unless she tells me.

"We're going to get you home Bella" I added although I wasn't not really sure how we would be able to do that.

She sighed and she let her body relax.

"Home… I still have to know where home is" She stepped away from me while still holding my hand and faced the crater in front of us.

She was lost in her thoughts again.

"At least there's already progress. You know how you got here. Maybe the memories will start coming back because of that" It was a few more minutes before she spoke.

"I'm going to have to rethink my decisions of going back" My brows furrowed. Was it just earlier that she was already resolved in finding her way back home?

"What do you mean?"

"You heard what Alice said. If I ever go back, I won't be able to come back here and if you're coming with me, you won't be able to come back here as well. I can't just let that happen"

"Wait, we're still coming back here?" I was confused by her explanation.

"Why not? Your family is here. I need to find a way to return here before I decide on going home." I was looking at her, clearly dumbfounded and she rolled her eyes at me in exasperation as if I should have already guessed it by now.

"Edward, aside from getting my memories back, the reason I have to go back is to make sure I don't have any 'unfinished business' wherever I came from. Once I do that, I would finally be able to move forward here… with you… and your family"

"I don't understand"

"Edward… don't you still get it? I'm spending the rest of my life here… with you"

There was a sense of euphoria that washed over me when she said those words. It was a sacrifice that I did not expect she was willing to make, to be with me, to be with my family.

I could not contain the happiness inside me as I cradled her face in my palm and she looked at me with the same feeling of happiness showing in her eyes. No matter what happened, we would find a way to be together.

This is getting boring. A girl needs to have some fun and some blood.

Ahh, it's always good to smell the fresh air. Wait, what's this? Another one of us in the vicinity?

Hmmm… I wonder where I could get a snack in this side of town.

I froze as three different thoughts entered in my head.

My body tensed and Bella was suddenly alert at my sudden change. Somehow, she sensed it too. I hovered over her protectively while looking at the edge of the forest where I knew they would be coming out of.

Something was coming and they were thirsty… for blood.
