I pulled into the side of the rode and turned off the bike's engine as I got my phone from my pocket. I was surprised it was not Damon again but Alaric this time. I put on the Bluetooth headset and answered the call.

"Hey, Ric" I smiled.

"Bella" he said in a relieved tone. "I thought you wouldn't answer"

"Just because I've been avoiding Elena and Damon's calls? Nah, I just not in the mood to talk to them right now" I mumbled putting my helmet back on.

"It's been almost three weeks, Bella, and the only news we got was a text saying you were still in the US" he said. "We are all worried"

"I promised I would be back by Elena's birthday"

"That's not enough, where are you?" this time was Damon.

"Great" I grumbled. I should have known Ric wasn't alone when he called me.

"Where are you?" he repeated angrily.

"Damon, I'm fine"

"I didn't ask that"

"I'm in the U.S. I just saw Klaus and Stefan. I'm going to catch a flight to Europe now"

"What? No. No! You are turning that bike and coming home. And what do you mean, you saw Klaus? Where is Stefan?" he snapped.

"Slow down. Stefan promised to be Klaus' toy for at least ten years, there's nothing we can do about it now and I don't think it will be a good idea for him to go home now" I remembered the couple he had killed after Klaus got the information of where Ray was. "He's losing the battle, Damon, slowly he's becoming that monster again" I sighed.

"Come home, Bella" he said pleadingly.

"No. I have to go, sorry…"

"No! Wait. I… I'm sorry"

"Are you? Really?" I retorted.

He didn't answer.

"Goodbye, Damon"

"Alice, I'm getting in the plane to Paris right now" I said rolling my eyes when she wouldn't shut up. "Listen!"

"Fine" she huffed.

"Shut down all his credit cards and bank accounts. I need him to have some trouble on running away"

"Are you sure?"

"Did my spells ever failed? The tracking spell worked and told me he is in a small town close to Paris"

"It's awfully close to the Volturi" she said fearfully.

"Don't worry, I'll take him away from Europe as fast as I can" I said and smiled at the stewardess as she gave me a bottle of water. "I'll call you, and I need you to get a private jet ready for us"

"Rio?" she suggested. "You can take him to Isle de Esme, it's a private island, you won't have to worry about him hurting anyone"

"Sounds good. I call you when I find him"

"Be careful, Bella"

"Always am"

I was running through the small alleyways in the darkest part of the town. The ground was wet from the rain of that afternoon, and it had cleaned a bit of the smell of industrial smoke that polluted the area. My legs burned, but I pushed my fast to go faster, knowing it would never be enough. I tripped and fell. I gasped for air and lifted my scratched palms from the cement, and sat back, hissing at my bloody knees. Edward finally stopped running away from me. He turned to me with dark eyes and glared at me, or at my bloody knees.

"Please, Edward. Stop. Come with me" I said softly. "I'll help you"

"Where is Damon?" he said through gritted teeth.

"Home, with Elena" I shrugged. "I'll tell you everything… But please, you can't keep doing this"

"I can"

"You hurt me every time you kill someone"

He looked away.

"But that's the point isn't it? Punish me for leaving you for Damon" I sighed. "Please, Edward… Your family is worried. I need to help you"

"Go help Damon" he snapped turning away from me.

"My life depends on getting you back" I cried. "Please"

He froze, I stood up and walked to him. I grabbed his arm and when he turned his head to me, I bit my lip seeing his red eyes.

"I'll tell you everything… Alice has a private jet waiting for us. We'll go to Isle de Esme and we'll work on your diet"

"I can't" he said.

"You can, you did it before"

"I don't want to this time!" he snapped. "Why would I go back to a life of struggling?"

"Because this isn't you"

"Are you ever going to answer the phone?" Edward asked while eyeing my cell.

"Nah, they will tell me the same stuff. Come back. Where are you? Be careful. I'm sorry" I rolled my eyes and smiled at him. "Pass me the sunscreen"

"You only remember of it once you are already burned" he laughed passing me the lotion.

"Well, why don't you remember me?" I frowned.

"Because I like you red as a cherry" he smirked.

"You are mean" I laughed. "Besides… rather a cherry than a diamond in the sun" I teased.

"My fault" he muttered looking at his sparkling hand.

"I'll do the spell again; I'm just waiting until we are sure your restraint…"

"No" he said getting up. "You shouldn't"

And with that he walked back to the house. I sighed and readjusted my sunglasses. It was winter in the south hemisphere but the sun was burning in the sky, and the only thing cool around was a gentle breeze, but it was rare. After two weeks in Isle de Esme my skin was more tanned but mostly it was burned. I did look like a cherry at the end of a day in the beach. Edward's eyes were going back to golden slowly, but it was difficult since he didn't have much meal options in the island. I still didn't trust him enough to let him go hunt in the continent, but I knew I would have to soon. I felt bad about babying him so much, and he never complained. He would get broody, more than usual, but not once he told me to fuck off. I would have to call the housekeepers to come and bring food and clean the house, and was thinking Edward could use the opportunity to go hunt in the continent. Alice said she saw he would not appreciate his family coming to babysit him, since it would be overwhelming, so only Esme and Carlisle were coming. I hadn't told Edward about my dad, or asking Damon to compel my mom to forget me, so I asked them to try not to think of it. I didn't want Edward to think it was his fault somehow and brood.

Damon was a subject we didn't approach. He called almost everyday and I never answered. I texted Elena and Bonnie to assure them I was alive and alright, but I refused to answer their calls, since they would want to convince me to go back. Klaus only called once, to ask me to perform another tracking spell. He was still looking for the werewolf Ray, and I had taken a picture of him Klaus gave it to me, so I could make the spell. Apparently the guy was good on running away. He had Klaus and Stefan searching for him through four states. I shuddered just thinking how many people Klaus killed, or had Stefan kill, on his quest.

My quest was not going so smoothly.

Rose-Marie had asked me to help Damon. I got him the cure. Done.

Dad has asked me to bring Edward back, to help him. I was working on it.

Jenna asked me to help Elena and Jeremy, and protect them. I was not in Mystic Falls, but they were always in my thoughts and once I went back home, I would focus on them.

And Blaire had asked me to help Elijah. That was a bit tricky. I had no idea where Klaus had put him, and how I could help him. If I brought him back, Elijah would probably try to hurt Klaus and then my word to help him and not try to harm him would be broken.

And I realized the consequences for not doing anything on half of my promises. I had problems to channel energy on tracking spells – spells that were simple. I would feel tired easily and slept more than usual for me. I could feel myself slowly fading away.

I thought of contacting the spirits, but I knew it would take a lot from me, and Edward would try to stop me at the first sign I was harming myself. I would have to use the opportunity of Esme and Carlisle's arrival to get some time alone and do it.

And I had a feeling I wasn't going to like whatever I would find out.

AN: I know it's really short but don't worry, this is just an epilogue to season 3 :)

I hope you like how I ended season 2, and I'll leave a warning: I'm not very far into season 3. All this time I was ahead in more than a season of knowledge (writing about season 2 after finishing watching season 3)... but although I think the new season, the 4th, is wonderful, I do not like it to adapt it to Bella's Diary... And it would be stretching the Bella/Damon/Elena/Stefan affair too much, so... Get ready to more drastic changes from now on, because the facts of season 4 are not getting in this story.

Bella/Damon are not too far! :D

Thanks for the reviews! I'm loving each one I get!
