A/N One part to go! 'cause I just love to keep you people entertained! BTW this much handier for me too, 'cause now I can take it a little bit easier on myself! And also the thing I know you've all waited for: Edward's POV! Italics is still visions and thoughts. And I wanted to say something else; Victoria may be a bitch in the books, that's because she was more hurt then you could ever imagine. And bear with Bella too okay? She still doesn't know and she's been with Victoria for 32 years, which seriously counts for something. Even in vampire years. Enjoy!!!

Searching for the Memories – Part 4

BellaPOV

The pain seemed to burn through my system, stationed in my chest. I felt like a human, a human who needed air to survive.

The golden-eyed strangers walked in the room and a scent so sweet hit my nose; I knew without looking that the scent was from the bronze-haired one.

The angel-like one.

I heard Victoria hiss beside me, and all of the sudden I didn't only feel pain.

I felt anger towards the strange, golden-eyed angel.

Betrayal, too.

When the five vampires walked into the room, I saw shock, mixed with surprise and sadness, on their faces.

One of them – he looked mid-twenties – walked up to me, whispering, "Bella?"

I turned to Alice and my eyes narrowed, pain evident in both my eyes and voice, "Care to explain?"

In the corner of my eye I saw the angel crouch at Victoria, I quickly sprung in between them and growled at him.

He looked at my face, sadness seeping out of his pores, "Bella, I-"

"Don't even dare to touch her," I growled and at the same time Victoria said, "A mate for a mate." I looked at her in surprise. What the?

A woman, also mid-twenties I believe, carefully approached me and asked, "Bella? Don't you remember us anymore?"

My eyes shot from one to another: the big guy, the tall blonde girl – she glared at me, the mother hen, the father figure, and the angel.

The angel looked as if he had just found his beloved puppy back... dead.

I shook my head; how should I be able to know them, when I haven't even met them before?

I hated this feeling of not knowing.

I hated the way the angel looked at me.

I hated the way I seemed to gravite towards him.

As if he were my world.

His eyes weren't golden anymore; they had turned an onyx black.

So beautiful.

I looked at my companion. Victoria wanted to run away; I saw it in her eyes. And no matter how much I wanted to know what happened, I knew it would be better to follow her instinct.

No matter the cost.

I pulled my shield away from Alice and Jasper, looked the angel in the eye before Victoria took my hand and we dashed off, faster then usually.

The last thing I saw was the broken look in the angel's eyes.

EdwardPOV

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Bella. With Victoria, for God's sake!

She had looked hurt, and I wondered if she really didn't know what had happened. I wanted to hurt myself for being the one to hurt her.

And then she ran.

How ironic.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that Victoria was with Bella.

Suddenly Alice started screaming at me in her mind. I winced.

You asshole!! Go after her! Make her yours again! I've ne-

Whatever she wanted to say was lost when she got a vision.

Bella and Victoria standing under a rock, hiding from the rain. Victoria talked and Bella occasionally winced and shut her blood-red eyes. She looked as if she were in pain. Victoria hugged her close, swaying her from side to side, as if she were a little kid. Then Bella started to hum something, a lullaby... her lullaby. Then she opened her eyes and said, "I'm not gonna let you down, Victoria. You've been here longer for me then him. I couldn't let you down." Victoria wanted to say something-

The vision broke off and I felt myself kneel on the ground, unable to do anything.

Alice was quiet too, both in and out of her mind.

Then she rushed to my side, kneeling next to me on the ground, hugging my neck.

I felt like a little kid who just found his beloved pup back... dead. (Beta's note: ZOMG, SEE HOW MUCH THEY THINK ALIKE?!)

I knew this would happen.

But I didn't do a thing about it.

BellaPOV

I ran, and ran, and ran. I needed to get away from there.

Away from the strange-eyed angel.

Victoria was right on my heels. I knew I could count on her anytime.

She picked up her pace a little bit more and tried to slow me down.

Then it started to rain; how fan-fucking-tastic.

We hid underneath a rock and Victoria looked at me with wide eyes.

"Who knew you could run that fast?"

I smiled sadly.

I saw Victoria take a deep, unnecessary breath and she started talking, "It's time for me to tell you the truth. Just don't hate me after this."

I felt more confused then ever. Why would I ever hate her?

She took another breath and began, "You're not Southern; originally, you're from Phoenix, but I met you in Forks, Washington."

And that's when I knew that this was going to turn my world upside down.

A/N Haha! I'm evil!
