"What? You're letting them leave?" Caius asked.

"Dear Caius, the girl's disappearance will be conspicuous at best. And surely you've seen her potential," Aro said.

"Let us be done with this! Heidi will arrive any moment, with dinner," Marcus replied.

The doors behind them opened...Caius glared at them threateningly.

"We will make sure she follows through. I would not delay. We do not offer second chances," Caius growled.

Edward, now recovered, takes Brea by the arm and with Alice by their side. They cautiously back towards the door.

A blonde headed man leads Brea, Edward and Alice out of the hall. Where they see a dozen tourists walking towards them, being led by a beautiful vampire, who looked like Heidi.

"Nice fishing, Heidi, save some for me," The blonde man smirked.

Heidi looked over at Brea and gave her a curious looked then quickly walked away.

"This way, please! Stay together," Heidi called out.

An older man walked by with his wife....he looked Brea up and down and smirked, Brea moved closer to Edward.

Edward laughed and pulled her close.

The group is moved toward the carved double doors which swing open for them...They pile into the marble hall. Edward pulled Brea forward, but she cranes her neck back as the last of the tourists disappear inside. The doors close....and suddenly blood curdling screams fill Brea's ears.

Edward and Alice rushed Brea out...Brea's face soon started to fade its color and turn white, she was completely tormented hearing those screams....but as they walked further the screams got louder.

*****************

"STOP! NO, EDWARD! DON'T LEAVE ME!" Brea cried, bolting upright.

Brea catches her breath, disoriented and confused. She turned and faced Edward who was lying beside her....concern filled his eyes.

"It....wasn't a dream," Brea sighed.

"Go back to sleep. You've been through alot," Edward whispered.

"N-No, you might leave me again," Brea mumbled.

"I'll be here when you wake up," Edward smiled.

"Why? Out of guilt?" Brea asked.

"You...think I asked the Volturi to kill me because I felt guilty?" Edward questioned.

"D-Didn't you?" Brea asked.

"I went to them because I thought I'd lost you," Edward sighed.

"Y-You didn't even want me," Brea frowned, remembering how he said he didn't want her because she wasn't good enough.

Edward pulled her close.

"Brea, The only reason I left was to protect you. I wanted you to have a chance at a normal, happy life," Edward said.

"I don't want normal... and I wasn't happy. But it was so easy for you to leave," Brea replied.

"I had to be convincing. But easy? My hundred years, I've never had a harder time than what I just went through," Edward sighed,

Brea looked up at Edward....she started to believe him.

"I-I kept seeing you...in my dreams. Visions of you. Always protecting me. I thought I was going crazy," Brea said.

"Your own instincts were speaking to you. I wish it had been me. But you're the heroic one! You saved me!" Edward smiled.

Edward moved to kiss her...but stopped.

Suddenly her door swung open...She spinned towards it as the lights flipped on, revealing Bella. Edward was gone.

"You alright? Another nightmare?" Bella asked.

"I'm okay! You don't have to worry, anymore," Brea sighed.

"Last time you said that, you disappeared. You want to talk nightmare? I had to lie to Dad, about where you were...heck I didn't even know where you went, or if you'd ever come back," Bella frowned.

"Bella, I'm really sorry! And you know I would never leave you, you are my best friends and my person...my family," Brea sighed.

"Just...never do that again! You've put me through hell, also Jacob's been calling here nonstop...asking about you," Bella said.

"W-What did you say?" Brea asked.

"Told him...you were pissed at how he treated you," Bella sighed.

"And?" Brea asked.

"That you won't join Sam's pack," Bella smiled.

"Actually I found out I'm not a werewolf....I can use other supernatural beings powers," Brea smirked.

"That's pretty badass," Bella laughed.

Brea nodded.

Bella went to leave...But Brea jumped out of bed and pulled her in for a tight hug.

"Thank you," Brea whispered.

Bella nodded and closed her door.

Brea turned around and saw Edward sitting on her bed.

"She won't forgive me easily... same with Charlie," Edward sighed.

"Charlie won't...but give her time," Brea smiled.

"W-Will you? I don't deserve it but....I hope you will. Because I honestly have no idea how to live without you, baby," Edward sighed. His eyes filled up with sadness.

Edward stood up and walked towards her, pulling her in...and gently kissed her lips.

"You won't be able to get rid of me once Alice changes me," Brea said.

"She won't have to. There are ways to keep the Volturi in the dark," Edward replied.

Brea pulled away.

"They'll come after your whole family! You'd risk that just to keep me human?" Brea asked.

"Just? You really don't understand what you'd be giving up," Edward frowned.

"I really do!" Brea said.

Brea rushed towards her dresser and grabbed some sweats and a hoodie. Throwing them on.

"You're not the only one with a say in it," Brea replied.

Brea walked over to her window and started to climb out but stopped, turning to look at Edward.

"You coming?" Brea asked.

Edward sighed, then nodded.

Brea jumped off the roof and started walking...but was quickly picked up by Edward.
