Chapter Fourteen

***Bella's POV***

Then an instrumental played, and I kept my eyes closed, waiting for Michael's voice.

"Time, stands, still..." That wasn't Michael's voice.

My eyes flash open, and I see him standing there.

Edward.

He grins at and winks, and keeps singing, and I realise he's singing to me.

"Beauty in all she is.

I will be brave.

I will not let anything take, away,

what's standing in front of me.

Every breath,

every hour has come to this.

One step closer."

I smiled at him, glowing. He wanted me back. "I have died every day, waiting for you," He sang.

I sang back, "Darling don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years."

"I love you for a thousand more," He held his hand out to me and I took it.

"And all along, I believed I would find you," He sang to me.

"Time has brought your heart to me," I smiled even wider, if that were possible.

"I have loved you for a thousand years..." We sang the rest of the song together, and I knew why. We were silently telling each other that we would never do anything apart again.

When the song ended everyone applauded, and Edward and I literally jumped off the stage. He tried to take me to a secluded corner, but Jasper attacked. Huh, I was expecting Alice to come.

"Bella!" He yelled, he looked most shocked out of the Cullens, I guess that was because he could feel everyone's emotions.

"Jasper," I smile, and everyone continues to gape. "What?" I ask after a minute.

Emmett laughs, "We haven't seen you for a hundred years, and you turn up and sing at mine and Rose's wedding, and you don't expect us to be shocked? Why'd you start Bite Me in the first place, so you'd have an excuse to crash our wedding?" He laughed even harder.

"No!" I answered, glaring at him slightly. "I didn't know it was you until I got here! Michael booked it. We only just got out of Vol-" I squealed, covering my mouth. They weren't meant to know I was part of the Vultori.

"Bella?" Carlisle asked sharply. I looked up reluctantly. "Were you about to say you just got out of Volterra?"

I nodded slightly, looking up at his eyes. "They kept you there?" Jasper hissed. I knew what me meant. He thought I didn't go willingly.

"No, Ness and I went willingly. The day Edward and I got together, we got a letter from our father. Whenever we said he was shopping or hunting he was in Italy, and he always came back. But the letter said he wasn't coming back, and if we didn't join the Vultori within five years, they would come for us."

Esme frowned slightly, "If you had five years why did you leave so soon?"

I sighed, "Because we didn't want to become more attatched to you guys. If we did it would hurt so much more when we really did have to leave."

Carlisle nodded, "What's your rank?" I stared at him confused, how did he know about ranks.

"Carlisle used to live with the Vultori," Jasper explained, feeling my confusion.
