A/N: Hey, guys! I decided to rewrite OD, because I think I'm a better writer now then I was when I first began this story. Most of it will still be the same, but there are things I want to add or delete, details I'd like to expand on, etc. I hope the rewrite gets as much love as the original.

I was running through the forest, hunting when I was hit like a wrecking ball with a vision.
Bella was standing on a cliff overlooking the turbulent sea. I'm not sure exactly where this cliff was, but I knew it had to be in La push somewhere. She had tears streaming down her face, and her normally warm, brown eyes were blank and lifeless. "Why?" she whispered to no one before she flung herself off the cliff into the inky black water below. Not once did she scream as she fell. In fact, she had a peaceful smile on her face as she broke the surface of the crashing waves. I waited and waited for her to surface from the dark liquid, but she never did.
"NOOOOO!" I screamed as I came back to reality. "Why would you do that Bella?"
For the first time in my existence, I wished I could cry. I wish I had a way to ease the pain I felt where my heart should be. This is all Edward's fault,I thought. I heard footsteps heading my way and I knew it was Jasper since we had gone hunting together. He appeared a few seconds later.
"Ali? Are you okay? I feel a lot of pain and heartbreak coming from you. I heard you scream too. What's going on?" He asked as he laid his hand on my shoulder.
"She j-jumped. I-I can't b-b-believe it." I could barely think around the pain I was feeling. My mind was drowning in the vision still. It kept playing inside my head, like it was seared onto my brain for all eternity.
"Who jumped, Alice?" Jasper asked as he sent waves of calm towards me.
"Bella." I sobbed.
"Bella? Jumped from where Alice?"
"Some cliff in La Push. I saw her jump. I can't get a vision of her. She's going to die Jasper, and there's nothing I can do about it. How am I supposed to tell the family?" I was slightly hysterical at this point. "I have to go see her. I have to try and stop her. You understand, right Jazz?" I looked at him, pleading for him to understand with my eyes.
"Of course Ali. You love her. Go to her and make sure she's okay." He whispered in my ear as her hugged me tight. "I'll tell everyone that you left to go shopping in Paris or something for a few days. That should give you the time you need."
"Thank you Jazz, for understanding. I'll call you as soon as I can okay?" I said as I pulled away. He nodded just as I turned to leave.
"Be careful." He yelled.

The wind whipped through my long chestnut brown hair. I stared at the waves crashing against the cliff side. I took a deep breath of fresh air. My toes teased the edge of the cliff. I was waiting. Waiting for the illusion I have come to depend on to make the pain slightly tolerable.
"Bella, what do you think you're doing?" Her bell like voice was tinged with red hot anger.
"I can't do this anymore, Ali." I whispered but my words were stolen by the wind.
"Think about Charlie, Bella. Do you know what losing his only daughter will do to him? What about my family? Your family, Bella?" She was pleading with me now.
"They're not my family, Alice. Family doesn't leave each other behind like you all did to me. Family doesn't abandon each other. Family sticks together no matter what." I replied my voice laced with venom, as the tears started to stream down my face. I closed my eyes to attempt to stop the tears, but they still flowed freely.
"I'm sorry, Bella. We made a mistake. Just please don't do this." She sounded like if she could cry she would. I knew this was just my subconscious letting me hear what I wanted to. Alice was gone. Just like all of the Cullens. They just left me behind like I never meant a fucking thing to them. I guess they got tired of their pathetic human pet.
I felt all of my anger drain away suddenly. I opened my tear filled eyes as I asked the one question I would never know the answer to, "Why?" After the word left my lips I flung myself off the cliff. My face settled into a peaceful smile as I knew the pain would soon end. I broke the surface of the icy water, and didn't try to fight the current. I let myself sink farther into the water. Felt the stinging sensation of the heat being drained from my body. I knew it wouldn't be long until I could no longer hold my breath, and my lungs would desperately try to get the oxygen they require, only to inhale large gulps of water.
They say that your life flashes before your eyes as you die. Who wants to see a rerun though? I saw something much better. I saw her face. My love. My life. My everything. My beautiful pixie, Alice.
I felt arms wrap around my neck from behind. I stiffened. They were cold, pale, and stone hard. Vampire. The word floated into my mind. My heart started to pound. My head broke the surface of the water, my lungs grateful for the oxygen, gulped in many deep breaths. I was dragged up onto a beach. My captor threw me a feet few ahead of them onto the sand. I turned over and saw exactly who my captor was.
"Victoria." I breathed. I knew I should probably feel fear, or something, anything really, but all I could feel was a sense of relief. I knew that my life would soon be coming to an end, maybe not the way I imagined it, but I would be dead. I would no longer feel the pain, and anger, and betrayal cause by the Cullens.
The fiery red head smirked at me.
"Where's your precious Eddie? Did the Cullens finally get tired of their pet human, and leave her all alone to fend for herself? What a shame." She taunted me. "After all that work they put into protecting you, they just leave the weak human to protect herself, huh? That doesn't seem like a very smart idea on their part, but it works out perfect for me." Victoria's smile turned sickeningly sweet as she advanced towards the spot she had dropped me on the beach. I knew I'd never be able to escape her, but my instinct forced me to try and scramble away from the advancing vampire.
"Oh relax, pathetic human. I'm not going to kill you. I have a better idea now. Since I have to live for eternity without my James, you will have to live for eternity knowing your Edward and his family doesn't want you."
What little heat my body, already cold from the icy clutches of the turbulent sea, had was leeched by the vampire's words. I did not want to be a vampire any longer. I did not want to live forever knowing I could never be with the one I love. This punishment was worse than death. This is the cruelest punishment anyone could bestow upon me.
As I felt her razor sharp, venom coated teeth sink into my throat, tears began streaming down my face once again.
"Please don't." I whispered. I was begging and I didn't even care. I didn't want to live forever when my forever was gone.
Victoria just laughed as she pulled away.
"Have fun for the next three days, Isabella Swan." She laughed again, and just like that she was gone.
As my vision began to darken, I wondered what was going to happen now.
A/N: As I said, most of it will be the same especially in the first couple of chapters, because the back-story and plot are pretty much staying the same. I'll just be adding a little detail or changing a few small things. I'm thinking chapter 5 is where I'll really start the major changes. Anyway, you know the drill, guys. Review and let me know what you think.
Thanks,
