Okay, I know this is much shorter than what you're used to, but this is the ending. Luv you for your reviews and feedback!!!


Sitting on a plane to Italy, Alice removed herself from Edwards future for a moment. All the indecision was giving her a brain pain. Bella looked up at her. "Anything new?" she asked.

Alice shook her head. After pausing a second, she said " I got them."

Bella looked confused. "Got what?"

"Your letters." Bella's eyes widened. "I'd see them in a vision... me and the rest of the family would read them. We were so worried about you." Alice's voice broke on the last word, memories of all the pain she'd read flooded her mind.

Bella was stunned for a moment. "I... I never thought you got them. I mean... I don't know why I kept writing them. I guess I just hoped, you know, you might care about me enough to see." A tear leaked from the corner of her eye.

"You don't know how many times they had to stop me from running back to you, Bella."

"But... why'd you leave then?" Bella had her arms wrapped around her chest, hugging herself, or maybe shielding herself. "He... Edward said that he didn't want me... and he'd convinced you..."

Alice took her friends hands. "Bella, listen to my words. We left because our brother couldn't bear to see you hurt. Vampires are the most dangerous predators in the world, and, as far as we know, there are only about 12 who don't have humans as a late night snack. It happened before, with James. But seeing the danger he was putting you in coming from his own brother... he wanted you to live."

Bella shook her head. It's not true, said the hole in her chest where her heart used to live. Don't listen, it's not true.

"Bella, look at me." She raised her eyes to meet Alice's. The golden bore down into the brown with undoubtable sincerity.

"He loves you. He loves you, and he'd rather leave than see you dead. I mean, don't get me wrong, he's idiotic and delusional, but... his intentions were good. He thought by you being distanced from our world would make you be human, and be happy with a little less chance of dying than you would around us.

"That's what kept me from coming back. In the back of my mind there was this little, nagging voice that kept saying you were better off. That's what Jazz and the others told me... After your second letter, I ran. I ran into the woods and would have ran back to you. Emmett grabbed me and Jasper calmed me... I was crying in there for hours. My point is, we weren't there because we didn't want you to die... we cared too much about you. Of course, the easy way to fix that would be to make you a vampire, but like I said, idiotic and delusional."

"I'm so sorry Alice." Bella was filled with regret. She shouldn't have wrote the letters. " About the letters. I- I never knew-"

"Shh Bella, shh. Everything's fine now." She checked on Edward future to see that it was set. "And it actually might be. He's gone for dramatic ending. Noon at the clock tower."

"Which means...?"

Alice smiled. "It means we might actually save him."

And of course, dear readers, we know that they do.
