Chapter 1: The Summer Solstice

Bella's Point of View

WARNING: If you are crazily in love with Edward or the Cullen family, DO NOT read any further. Although, I am a big Edward fan, it was the only way to make my story work. Sorry.

Disclaimer: I, unfortunately, do not own Twilight or anything affiliated with it. I'm just a crazed fan. And, I do not own Vampire Diaries either.

"What are you doing?" I yelled, "Stop! Please, stop it he's done nothing wrong!"

He could hear my voice over the shouting that was going on. Yes, I have. I deserve this I broke the treaty.Nevertheless, it was worth it. To be able to give you what you most desired. I made you happy again…you are worth it. was what he thought but, I only partially believed that.

"He broke the treaty. You, I, he, and everyone knows it to be true!" he replied.

"I asked him…I asked him to. That can't count! I was willing... I let him. Please, if anyone is to be punished it should be me, NOT HIM!"

Jacob just turned so his back was facing me.

---------------------------------------------------------

I'm Bella Swan, the girl who had come to Forks, Washington a few years before, the girl that Jacob Black had fallen in love with, was now being held 'captive' so to speak.

It was the week before I was to be married to Edward. The vampire that had fallen for me, my sweet smelling blood that would make any vampire go crazy, but I belonged to him.

I had chosen him over everything else. The boy that, on the first day he saw me, wanted to kill me.

Now he was being hurt, because he had made an agreement with me. Although it hadn't gone as planned. He had agreed to turn me, but I was to marry him first if HE was the on to change me.

I had agreed. All the arrangements had been made for our wedding. The guest list was made, the dresses had been prepared, everything was perfect but Edward could sense that I was still unhappy.

Therefore, he gave in and changed me before we were married. When Jacob found out what had happened, he went to tell Sam Uley, the leader of the pack, and told him that I had been changed.

He was outraged; the Cullen's had broken the treaty that was made so many years before…Edward Cullen had bitten a human and now he would pay for it…with his life.

---------------------------------------------------------------

"Let me go!" I screamed, "Let me go! Edward!"

At the Cullen's house

Alice's face went blank. Then after a few seconds of silence returned to 'normal'. "Edward" she whispered.

"Alice, what is it? Is everything okay?" Jasper asked.

Just then they heard screams coming from the meadow. Their meadow…thought Alice.

'Let me go! I have to go to Edward! Let go of me!' it screamed.

"Did you hear that?" Esme asked as she pulled back the curtains to open the window. Moonlight beamed into the room, making everything sparkle.

"I'd know that scream anywhere…" Emmett began.

"Bella." Rosalie finished his sentence

"She sounds as if she is in danger…" Carlisle began.

"She is…and so is Edward." Alice said as she ran for the door.

The others followed. With Alice in the lead, and Jasper at her side, they rushed to the meadow…where Death was waiting.

At the meadow

'THUD', Edward's limp body fell to the ground after being thrown into the tree.

"NO!" I shouted as I tried with all my might to break free. This is all my fault, I thought to myself, as Edward was being tossed around like a rag doll.

"Now, I want you to watch, Bella Swan. Watch as he's torn to pieces and burned!" Sam told me, then with no hesitation, transformed and ran for Edward.

"NO!" I screamed.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." spoke a warning voice.

Everyone turned to see whom the voice belonged to. A young pale face glistened in the moonlight. Alice, looked around until her eyes met Edward's.

Then her eyes turned to me. Being held against my will, being forced to watch Edward suffer. My long brown hair was a mess from my struggle to break loose.

Her eyes, so radiant, yet so red from tears streaming down my pale face that glistened with so much radiance in the moonlight. she thought.

The eve of the summer solstice.

Why doesn't he fight back? He's strong enough, and why can't Bella seem to break lose? She's stronger than both Edward and Emmett combined! she thought.

We're scared for each other. If I try to fight back, they might hurt her and Vice versa. We are each other's weaknesses. I heard him think back to Alice.

"And why wouldn't I attack him" Sam asked, bringing Alice back to reality.

"Bella is one of us now, remember?" Alice replied.

"Thank you Captain Obvious! What does that matter?"

"You don't understand!" Alice shouted as tears began to form in her eyes.

"Do you remember Victoria?" Rosalie asked as Jasper was consoling Alice.

"The bloodsucker that we killed awhile back?" Quil asked.

Rosalie cringed at the insult towards vampires, and just nodded in agreement.

"Yes, why do you ask?" Sam asked.

"Do you remember why she was after Bella?"

"No not really. But why does that matter? She's dead, isn't she?"

"Yes, but that's not the point! It was because of James, Victoria's mate. Edward killed him to protect Bella. When a vampire mates, they mate for life! Unless, of course, their mate is killed. So, if you kill the mate of a vampire, that vampire will stop at nothing until their mate's death is avenged. The most common way to avenge a mate's death is to kill the mate of the person who killed their mate. Do you understand now? If you kill Edward, Bella will most likely go after Emily." Rosalie explained.

"You're lying! Bella doesn't have the guts to go after us! Even if she did, she wouldn't be able to get past me." Sam replied.

"You still don't understand! Emily doesn't know that Bella is a vampire and could be easily tricked and you wouldn't be able to stop her! She has the strength of Edward and I combined." Emmett explained.

"I've said it once and I'll say it again, You're LYING! There is no way that scrawny little Bella could ever overpower me! Just to prove that she doesn't have a fighting chance, I'll let her go. If she can make it to Edward before I do, he lives. If not, then you all die and she'll watch." Sam said, "Quil, release her!" he shouted.

When I was free, Sam was already a fourth of the way to Edward; I began to run as fast as I could.

They're all depending on me. I have to save Edward and nothing can...'THUD'

I hit the ground moments before I could finish my thought. I was so close to Edward. I turned to see who had shoved me out of the way…Jacob. There was no time to ask questions, I had to get to Edward before Sam did.

As I tried to get up, Leah Clearwater had jumped on top of me, pinning me to the ground. Jacob just stood there, motionless.

"I hate you!" I screamed, "I thought you were my friend, I-I thought I could trust you. But, you're nothing but a lousy dog! Jacob, y-you just used me. I was so stupid; you just wanted to know the Cullen's secrets, their weaknesses." I yelled as tears moistened the dirt below my face.

"Shut up!" screamed Leah as she whacked me across the head.

"I am you friend Bella! I--We're doing this for your own good!" Jacob replied with no emotion in his voice.

"My own good! What good will come of this?! I'm already a vampire, and there's no going back!" I yelled back.

I could hear Edward's pain. I felt so useless. Leah had grabbed my hair and pulled my face up to watch. I was watching the only man I ever truly loved, being killed right in front of me. Then, came the fire.

"I lost, I couldn't make it to Edward in time and now they're all dead because of me." I said to myself in a low whisper.

Now, I could only feel the presence of myself and the werewolves. My anger began to rise like the smoke from the fire. I threw Leah off my back and attacked.

Quil, Seth, Paul, and Embry ran to help, but I pushed them out of the way. Just when I was about to kill Leah, I felt a cool hand upon my shoulder which was followed by a familiar soothing voice.

"Bella," called the voice.

I was frozen with a twinge of fear, "W-Who's there?" I asked.

"Bella, its me," it replied.

"E-Edward?" I asked as I turned around to see whom the voice belonged to.

"Yes Bella, I'm here." he replied.

"B-But, you're dead! I-I saw them t-tear you a-apart and b-burn you! H-How can you still be alive?!" I asked in confusion.

"My sweet Bella. It is true that I am indeed dead, but it is because of the summer solstice that I am able to see you again." he explained.

"The summer...what? What is that?" I asked.

"My little lamb, I'm afraid I don't have much time to explain everything right now, but you can't stay here. There aren't any vampires close enough or willing enough to help you as you grow into a more mature vampire. But, I've been informed that there is a trio of vampires in Fell's Church, Virginia who may be able to help you. Go to them and ask for their help." he said as he began to fade.

"No! Edward, don't leave me! Please, I need you!" I cried as I reached out for Edward's hand.

"I love you Bella, and I will always be with you." he said giving me a farewell kiss, and faded into the darkness.

"I love you too, Edward." I whispered into the darkness.

I turned to Jacob, who was in a daze along with everyone else.Then, I saw a black crow fly off into the distance. I got up and began to walk away. As I walked by the remains of the fire, something caught my eye.

I bent down and picked up the shiny object.I brushed away the ashes to see that it was his mother's wedding ring that he proposed with. Tears began to trickle down my face. Then, I ran to the Cullen's house.

The Cullen's house

"There's got to be a map around here somewhere." I said as I ran frantically throughout the house.

"The sooner I get to Virginia the better."

When I finally found one, I didn't bother to pack my things, well, just a few essentials and a family picture of the Cullen's, along with a pale blue ribbon that Alice had given me for my birthday, and a few books that both Edward and I had enjoyed together.

Then, I turned off all the lights and locked the door on my way out. I hoped that no one thought the Cullen's have left for good, so I wrote a note saying:

Gone on vacation,

We do not know when we

Will be back.

The Cullen's

I gave one last look at the house not knowing if I would ever return to the tiny town of Forks, the place that changed my life forever. I headed for the airport, bought a ticket with money from my college fund. Luckily enough, I was able to leave that very day.

I had my bags checked and went to wait for my flight to be called. I walked over to a few empty seats and sat down. I hadn't noticed that people were staring at me, but I did not care. It was better than what I had just gone through.

"Flight 6-30"

"That's my flight. It's the date of Edward's birthday, how ironic." I said to myself as a tear and a giggle escaped from me.

I handed my ticket to the flight attendant and boarded the plane. I gave one last look at Forks as the plane took off. The flight was about six-hours long and I was getting a little nervous. I didn't have very much money with me and I had to start a completely new life.

Once the plane landed, I got off and walked the rest of the way to Fells Church Virginia. It was about a two-mile walk but it was worth it. As I pasted a sign that read: "Welcome to Fell's Church" I felt a longing that I had never felt before. I was hungry.
