Bella paced the bedroom for hours. He hadn't returned yet; his cell going to his voice mail. This was bad...really bad. She'd never seen him so upset, so hurt. He had every right to be, she messed up...impulsively she gave up everything. Her family, her daughter, her husband, her freedom. She felt broken without him, left in pieces shattered inside at how much she'd let him down. All she wanted was to keep them safe even if it meant she couldn't. She would always put them before herself. Walking into the living room of their small cottage, their own little piece of heaven, she looked at the mantle above the fireplace. The center photo made her want to break down again. It was the happiest day of her life, the day she said "I do" and now she was breaking those vows to her husband by leaving. Taking the frame into her hands as she ran a finger over the picture. "I'm sorry...." She whispered, staring into the picture as she sank to her knees in front of the fireplace.  |

Edward had been racing home since his 'outburst' at Bella, he had been running back home, he needed to see Bella. But yet would he be able to find the words that were still bottled up inside him, that he still needed to say. But he tried to promise himself that he would let his anger get the better of him. He stopped abruptly on the porch to their cottage, he hesitated as he could hear that Bella was inside, he knew that he had hurt her. But inside he was breaking, he doubted himself, he could have gone to Italy now and barged through the doors and had it out with Aro...but no. Bella was more important.
Opening the door to he slowly crept in, his ears scanning out for Bella, he walked in and saw Bella in a heap on the floor by the fireplace. He hated that he had made Bella feel this way, and it hurt him.
".............Bella" his words only that she could hear.

She heard him open the door and hesitated a bit, closing her eyes and trying to compose herself. When he spoke her name softly, she stood and turned slowly to face him. Looking back at their wedding picture before setting it back on the mantle, lingering looks at the photo of when they were so happy. She turned back to face him and brought her hands together, looking down at them thinking of what to say. "Edward...I..." She began, then stopped fighting herself. The inner turmoil was almost too much to bare. She couldn't make things right, there was no escape from Aro...no other way unless someone got hurt or worse. She couldn't speak, she just looked back up and met his eyes. All she wanted to do was run to him, be in his arms for the next two days. Two days was all they had left. Could she really bring herself to leave?

"Edward...I..."
Edward wanted to answer her, but yet words failed him, he couldn't find the strength to walk across the gap to wrap his arms around her and tell her everything will be alright, but yet he didn't know if he could. He wouldn't lie to her, he would never lie to her. Buy yet he still couldn't understand why she would do this without consulting him, and make this decision on her own.
"I want to know why Bella...I need to know why Bella" his words a little louder than before.

"I want to know why Bella...I need to know why Bella"
His question was loaded, why had she done it? She watched him as he stared back at her, his body stiff and his jaw clenched. "It was the only way we were going to leave Italy. He knew using you as bait he'd get what he wanted and he did. I couldn't let him know Renesmee was there and you know she would have gone in after us if we didn't come out. I made the deal before I realized what I was doing, I just wanted to get you out of there....I just...I couldn't bare them hurting you." She looked down knowing that was no good reason as he'd say, but he didn't understand...he didn't get it.

"I couldn't bare them hurting you"
"I could handle that Bella....That was nothing compared to what I am feeling now...I would have been willing to die to protect you! And our daughter. Our family Bella. But you went on your own!" he had completely forgotten that he was meant to control himself, but in a moment he snapped and reached for the first thing he could grab which happened to be a large vase filled with meadow flowers and threw it against the wall and watched it shatter.
His hands clenched his hair as he took a large un-needed breath as his jaw clenched as he saw Bella jump as this act.
"Alice will kill me for that....A 150 years old vase" he tried to fake a laugh but failed.

"What a shame to waste such a lovely vase" She said sarcastically in the doorway, standing regally next to Alec as she watched them. Overhearing the whole conversation through the opened door, she smirked at them both.
"Not happy to see us? I'm hurt." She said blankly.

Before she could speak another frill voice was heard as she looked at the doorway where Jane stood. Her heart felt as if it plummeted in her chest. Before she could raise her shield over Edward, guards had her arms pinned behind her. "DON'T!!! Do not touch him. Aro gave me three days why are you here?!!?!?!" She struggled against them but it was no use. "Edward...." She looked at him wishing she could do something, change things, reverse time.

Edward furiously turned to Jane as he bared his teeth and a snarl passed his lips as he practically hissed at Jane's presence in his and Bella's home.
"LET HER GO! THE DEAL IS OFF JANE. THE DEAL IS OFF. LEAVE NOW OR I SHALL MAKE YOU LEAVE WITHOUT YOUR HEAD!" Edward snarled at her, wanting to move, but could see that the guards had Bella at a disadvantage.
"Take me instead...Leave Bella out of this" he begged.

She grinned at him. "Edward, as much fun as it is torturing you, it is Bella he wants. The deal is not off, the Volturi don't give second chances. Ever. Aro sent us to ensure Bella stuck to their agreement. There are guards waiting for the signal outside of the house that holds everyone else. I suggest you don't make the wrong decision, this time...we won't walk away. This time...no one lives." She glared at him, wanting him to push her buttons so she could inflict massive amounts of pain onto him. Looking towards the guards that held Bella she nodded and the proceeded to carry her out against her will.

"No, don't...please don't hurt them. I'll...I'll go just...let me tell him bye. Let me tell them all bye, you know I will go." Jane just looked at her and then proceeded to speak. So cold and heartless it amazed her how ruthless the girl was. Even considering she was way older than she looked in vampire years. The guards began to walk forward as she tried to reach out to touch him, to kiss him once more but failing. "Edward, I love you and I always will. Please don't forget that. Please know that.....I'm sorry."

He pulled Bella into his arms, despite the guards that continued to pull at her from his arms, his hands wrapping in her hair as he leaned into whisper in her ear, knowing that Jane and all the others would still here him.
"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb"
He pulled her tighter into his arms, when he suddenly felt his body go limp, pain coursing through him as he dropped to his knees as he Jane unleashed another wave of pain at him as he fought to not let out any signs that would only only encourage her more.

"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb"
His words made her want to break down again, but for his sake she wouldn't....she couldn't. Jane unleashed her gift on him, making him release her and dropped to his knees in silent agony. "EDWARD!" She yelled as they ushered her out the door. She was going to kill that little girl so help her god. Anger fueled her and she knew what she had to do. One way or another she was going to end the Volturi. Somehow...someway. Devastated as this was the last memory she'd have of her husband if she failed. IF she failed.....until her dying moment she wouldn't stop fighting...she wouldn't give up. Ever. Their love was too strong to allow that.

He could barely make out her calling out his name as pain continued to wash over him, making him lifeless, unable to move, unable to think. Only but the pain that consumed him to his core.
"Bella....." he spat out through his clenched teeth as he tried to stand, but failed. The pain was too consuming.
"What a waste of a vampire. What did Aro ever see in you?" he heard Jane hiss at him before she sent another wave pain at him as he collapsed on the floor.
"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb"
And so he did, he would do anything to get Bella back.....He would stop at nothing to get Bella back. He fought to block out all the pain that flooded him, as though his life with Bella flashed before his eyes.
There love would last forever.....and no one would keep them apart.
