devoted-everlasting.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=secrets&action=display&thread=352He finally looked at her after remaining silent for what seemed like hours. Turning to face her, his face in such turmoil. "You did what!""I...made a deal with him. It was the only way, Edward. What was I supposed to do? Let them kill you? Take Alice and Renesmee, kill the others? I...it was all I could do." She reached out to touch him, but he seemed to step back...something he'd never...ever done. "Edward?" She whispered bringing her brows together, confused...hurt. "Please, you have to realize it was the only way. Are...are you angry?" She asked as she stepped a bit closer to him, her heart breaking into a million pieces.

It was the only way, Edward
Edward felt his mouth go dry, he couldn't get what Bella had done to sink in. She had made a deal...a deal with Aro to spare him and their family. Just as she reached out to touch him, not knowing he back away from her. Something that he had never done...ever.
"Angry? Am. I. Angry!. Bella you made a deal with the DEVIL! We are meant to be partners...and you have made another decision without me! Again! I thought I already lost you. You nearly died! Several times! How do you expect me to feel? You put your life at risk for me"
He back away from her, he had never felt so angry, so terrified. So devastated. His anger ate away inside him, without hesitation he ran across to the tree line and began tearing up the trees from their roots, watching as they cracked and split from his strength as he took one tree down after another.

He yelled at her, something he hadn't done since she refused to give up on her pregnancy with Renesmee, and she'd been right...everything worked out. This time...she wasn't that confident. "Edward...I--" She was cut off when he ran to the treeline and began to tear trees up and toss them like they were mere sticks. He'd never been this angry, not to this magnitude. Covering her mouth she felt as if she were crying. Tears wouldn't give her away, but her face would. The loud boom of the large tree hitting the earth made her jump. Rushing to him, she pushed him against a tree to get him to stop. "Edward, PLEASE. Stop...look at me, please."

"Edward, PLEASE. Stop...look at me, please."
Bella had now had him pinned against a buckling tree, still bursting with anger that Bella had 'betrayed' him, 'betrayed' their vows. His ran his hand through his hair as he tried to calm down.
He tried to fight against Bella, but she was still almost as strong as she was when she was a new born. He tried again, and succeeded as he found his way from her arms as he took a few steps away from her, he could see that this was hurting her almost as much as he was.
"Why did you not tell me in Italy! Why DID YOU NOT TELL ME WHEN WE WERE IN ITALY BELLA!" the words escaped his lips faster that he registered.

She looked down and closed her eyes as he freed himself from her and he shouted again.
Why did you not tell me in Italy! Why DID YOU NOT TELL ME WHEN WE WERE IN ITALY BELLA!"
"BECAUSE I JUST....couldn't!" Realizing she was yelling, she barely whispered the last word. She turned her back to him and shook her head, disappointed in herself and her decision. What had she done? Was it really the only way? "I'm...sorry." She said so softly no one with human ears would ever hear. "I'm just...so sorry."

"It's not too late Bella. Take it back! If not. Your staying here. I am going to Italy to take you place" his hands clenched together in fists as he fought to calm himself down, he hated being like this.
"I will not have you serve under that snake of a vampire. I will take your place. Not you!" his words came out in a hiss.
He hated that Bella would have made such a deal, to serve in the Volturi, and it was his fault, he had gone to Italy. And was foolish enough to get caught in their web of revenge.

Her mouth dropped open as he spoke, shaking her head and turning to face him. "I.CAN'T.take it back Edward. He wants a shield...I can't let you do that. I made the deal and I must stick to it or...he'll kill us all. Please don't let our last three days be spent like this..." She inched closer to him and wrapped her arms around his stiff chest, realizing she said three days. He didn't know about that part, there was nothing that could be done and she couldn't "take it back" not with Aro. A deal was a deal, and he wouldn't be satisfied with just Edward...he'd want Alice and Nessie too. And if he realized Ryder might possess a gift...he was doomed too. She couldn't allow that. One hundred years...that wasn't long when you lived forever...was it?

"Please don't let our last three days be spent like this..."
She had engulfed him in her arms as he stood frozen...three day. Three days was all they had left together. It couldn't be this soon. They were meant to have an eternity together. It couldn't be cut short because of Aro and 'his deal'.
"You shouldn't have to do this...Renesmee needs her mother. You shouldn't have taken this burden on your own. I am your husband" his arms lingered at his sides as he was still bubbling with anger beneath the surface.
He pulled himself from her arms and took a step backwards from her, his hands stuffed into his back pockets.
"I failed you" his words barely a whisper.

He stepped back and stuffed his hands in his back pockets, she looked at him baffled. "Fa-failed me? How did you fail me? If anything I've failed you as a wife. Failed to protect our daughter...disappointed and angered you." She hung her head and sighed. "There is no getting past this is there?" For once she feared Edward would never forgive her for the choice she made out of desperation. Things between them had changed...this was the not the first roadbump and it wouldn't be the last...but could they get past this?

"How can you say that you have failed me Bella? I am the one who failed you. I made you feel like you...like you couldn't trust me. To tell me your secret. Your plan" he said so quietly that no human would hear him.
"I am sorry Bella...I need to go...I need some time...I am sorry" his words barely a whisper as he closed the gap between them as he cupped her cheek and kissed her cheek.
He took one long lasting glance at her before he took a step back and turned from her and ran from her, racing through the meadow.
He needed time to think, to think things through. But yet all he could hear was Bella call out his name as it echoed to his ears as raced through the forest.
Where could he run to?
When all he wanted was 'HIS' Bella.

She shook her head as he spoke, always wanting to blame himself for her decisions. "Edward--"
"I am sorry Bella...I need to go...I need some time...I am sorry"
Placing a hand on her cheek and kissing the other softly, before he turned and ran in the other direction. "EDWARD! NO! WAIT!!!" She called his name over and over, praying he'd return to her...but he didn't. Instead, she gave him his space no matter how many urges told her to go after him. She'd really really made a mistake, but if it was the only way to keep her family safe....sinking to her knees, she placed her face into her hands and let out a painful scream.
