"We need to go." Was all Bellatrix heard as Alice was dragging her to the car.

"Alice, where are you taking me?" Bellatrix asked as they drove off. "Forks. Bella, we think she died, and I have to make sure she didn't." Alice tells her that she is only making Bellatrix scoff.

"Let her die." Bellatrix glares at the road ahead of them. "She's Edwards mate! We can't let her die!" Alice scolds her, and Bellatrix only rolls her eyes.

"Why did you bring me along? I do not care about Edward; I do not care about his mate. I do not care." Bellatrix glares at her 'sister'.

"Angela. You get to see Angela." Alice tells her softly, knowing her 'sister' needs to see her soulmate. Bellatrix was going off the deep end, as her purpose was no longer with her.

*****

It took them a few hours to drive to Forks, with Alice breaking every speed limit law there was.

As Alice parked in front of Angela's house, Bellatrix didn't need another second before she sped out of the car. Leaving Alice to drive off to Bella's house.

The Latina vampire stood in front of the window she had climbed through for weeks. She could hear Angela in her room, typing on her computer, as soft, heartbreaking music played.

Bellatrix hesitated before she climbed through the all-familiar window, this time going undetected by Angela as the girl was wearing headphones.

The vampire watched her mate from the other side of the room, opposite the window. Angela had changed her room. Her library got bigger, but instead of the soft purple walls Bellatrix was all familiar with, it was a light gray, not allowing much light to flow into the room.

Angela's head slowly looked over to the window as a breeze entered the room. "What the-?" Angela says quietly as she walks over to her window, softly closing it.

She turns around to see her ex-lover leaning against her bed. Angela froze, as she didn't know what to do. Should she run up and kiss her? Or slap her?

"What are you doing here?" Angela asks, her tone conflicted.

"Alice came to make sure Bella wasn't trying to kill herself. And I came to see you." Bellatrix tells her she wasn't sure what she was expecting, but she knew Angela had every right to be mad at her.

"Why come now? You just told me you loved me, and you left. Do you know how heartbroken I was?" Angela's voice raises slightly.

"I came now because I am able to. And I do love you, Angels; I had no choice if I wanted to stay or leave." Bellatrix takes a step forward, but Angela takes one back, similar to the night she said goodbye.

"Why did you leave? And don't say because it's complicated." Angela's voice was stern; she would like to believe Bellatrix never lied to her before.

"The night Bella came over for her birthday party She cut her finger on a piece of paper, and Jasper lost control at the smell of blood. Edward threw her into a glass vase and cut her arm open further; everyone almost lost control but me and Carlisle." Bellatrix takes a step forward; this time, Angels didn't back up as she listened to the vampire.

"Edward made us leave for his fear of Bella's safety. We warned him before he even talked to Bella, but he didn't listen. And he ran from the problem, and Carlisle forced us to leave. We were in Alaska." Bellatrix slowly raised her hand to grab Angela's.

"Alaska? Where have all those murders happened?" Angela looks confused, making Bellatrix wince. She didn't think Angela would even know about that.

"So you heard of that?" A dry laugh escapes Bellatrix. "That was you?" Angela looks surprised. Over the course of a couple days, multiple bodies of forest troopers turned up torn apart, as did animals too. They claimed a wild bear was doing it.

"I lost control." Bellatrix lets her head hang in shame. "I took my anger out on everything and anything I could get my hands on." She admits it softly as Angela pulls her hand away from her.

But it soon returns as Angela makes her lift her head, looking into her brown, honeyed eyes that she loves so very much.

"I don't care what you did; I'm just glad you are okay." Angela tells her as they lean closer to one another. "I'm a vampire; I can't be hurt." Bellatrix chuckled but was cut off by Angela's lips on her.

Both girls hum in satisfaction at their lips being together again. Bellatrix let her hands wrap around Angela's waist as she cupped her face.

"Please don't leave again." Angela's voice cracks, making Bellatrix's heart break. "I won't."

*****

A car honk broke up Bellatrix and Angela. Both girls had made it to the latter's bed, both completely wrapped around one another and back in their bubble.

"I need to go. But I won't be gone long. I promise." Bellatrix mumbles to the girl as she gives her one last kiss.

"I'm going to hold you to that promise." Angela tells her sternly, making Bellatrix chuckle.

Bellatrix hopped down from the window, walking to Alice's car with Bella in the passenger seat.

"It's Edward; he thinks Bella is head, and he's going to expose himself to the Volturi." Alice tells her quickly, making Bellatrix groan.

"Of course it's always more drama." She scoffs as she gets into the car, and Alice speeds off.
