Edward was alive , I'd gotten there in time and he hadn't killed himself. I jumped into his arms and for the first time in months, I'd felt whole again. As his lips sank into mine, it took all I had not to cry. We were together again, I'd missed his cool touch on my cheek, and the way he wrapped his arms around me. Nothing would ever break us again... nothing. The Volturi didn't feel the same way. Aro wasn't so lenient ... I'd found this out after when I was getting ready to go back home and start all over again, but this time I wasn't going to be alone. Well, that's what I'd thought.
"Bella, I can't go with you." His expression was pained, and Alice didn't seem to surprised. "Wha... What do you mean?! I just got you back!" His hand caressed my face as tears brimmed in my eyes, the cool of his skin didn't sooth me this time however. His lips crushed against my forehead and while I loved his touch, I just wanted an answer. My mind was racing and there was no way he could spit it out fast enough. I felt Alice's hand on my shoulder but I ignored it.
"I need to stay with the Volturi, Bella. It's the only way you'll stay safe... And they'll let you live normally again." That was the moment that my heart sank into the pit of my stomach. The tears began to spill freely now and all I could do was plead with him - but it wouldn't change anything. "No.. You can't... I just got you back!" Pain crept over his face again as he looked down at me, he knew this would kill me.
"But I love you." My attempts were futile, but Volturi wouldn't have any of this, and Edward knew that. He knew there was no way around this. It took a second for him to lean in, lips directly on my ear, there was the velvet voice I knew once again. "I love you too, he won't keep us apart, love." I was hopeful for whatever plan Edward had, but I knew things weren't going to go back to normal like I'd hoped and expected.
"Don't worry Bella, we'll figure this out." I turned around to look Alice in the face but despite her hopeful tone, I felt as though my heart had been ripped just like the day Edward had left.
