Forgotten Forever? (Twilight Fan Fic)

Breaking The Curse

I step closer to the edge of the cliff. Oh the irony. I told them something bad would happen, I told all of them. I probably scared the shit out of them too, when really I was trying to tell them that something absoulutely amazing is about to happen. 

"Bella, what are you doing?" A sweet voice asks behind me, and I growl.

"What does it look like?" I reply to Aro in a voice two octaves above my own. "I'm ending it. I've worked it out."

Slowly, I walk further towards my death. This is the cliff I jumped off when the Cullens left, and through the low clouds I can see the cliff Esme jumped off. Unlike this cliff, that one has nothing but sand and rocks at the bottom, while this one has icy, grey seawater. The stormy wind rips around me, flinging my hair in all directions and almost ripping my clothes from my trembling form.

"Don't do this," Aro almost pleads, and I turn to see him eyeing me with worry.

"Worried?" I laugh cynically, turning back to the stormy water. "You should be. I've worked out how to break the curse. One of us has to die."

Aro sighs, "Miss Esme already died, dear Bella. You have not thought this through."

"Oh but I have," I reply. "I have thought it through. I have to die. Without anyone to punish, there isn't a point in doing this at all. That's why you decided to punish me instead of Carlisle. And I'm not afraid of you doing this again, as you told me yourself you destroyed the four vampires that did this, in case they turned on you and reversed the effects of their gifts."

Aro laughs quietly, "I'm sure I can find other vampires with the same talents."

"Proves what you know," I snort, my eyes scanning over the water as I prepare to jump. "Eleazer told me. A gift is never repeated, unless someone has a talent to steal gifts. But you don't have anyone in the guard with that power, do you, Aro?"

I look back and his eyes are desperate, telling me all I need to know.

If I die, then the curse is broken.

I step towards the cliff edge, but then something collides into me, pulling me away from my save. "NO!" I scream. "LET ME DIE!"

"You really thought I was going to?" Aro asks, moving my hair from my neck.

No.

He's going to turn me into a vampire, a fale safe way of keeping me alive. Then he'll probably lock me up somewhere, so he won't have to destroy me for exposing vampires.

Just as Aro's teeth are about to slice into my neck, I feel myself being ripped from his grip.

"Run Bella!" Marcus shouts over the roar of the waves as he fights Aro. "Jump and you'll have your family back!"

"Thank you," I whisper, before throwing myself off the cliff.

Drowning isn't as peaceful as it seems. The water fills my lungs and as I don't allow myself to breath my limbs became numb and my head begins to feel as if it's on fire. Finally I can't feel my limbs as my broken heart is desperately pumping my blood around my organs, trying to keep me alive.

Finally, I think, as I feel my heart stutter to a stop.

***

Over the border of an almost forever forgotten treaty line, Carlisle Cullen exhales heavily as shivers run up his spine. He grabs onto the receptionist's desk as his clipboard clatters to the floor. The wind is completely knocked out of him as his head begins filling with things he never thought possible. But these things are real, and possible.
