It was a whole week before Ven let Bella go somewhere by herself, Bella knew it was going to be hard going to school because of what happened but in the end though - she needed to graduate in order to get away from the pain. Letting out a quiet sigh, Bella walks to her locker and opens it up seeing a few notes fall out. Blinking curiously, Bella bends down grabbing them seeing one from Rachel and two others from Kalia. Curious, she put the one from Rachel away and opened one note from Kalia.

Bella,
I know we've been a little harsh yesterday, and I realize that maybe some time apart and the others do feel the same. It will be home day when we talk to each other again. Give them some time to forgive you, but - it's gonna be hard. Talk to you soon, okay?

Kalia

Bella shakes her head frustrated and crumbles up the note and tosses it away, she looks at the other note and tears begin to fall from her eyes. They would never forgive her for being what she was, what she was hiding. Bella crumbles up that note and tosses it in her locker as she leaned her head down as tears fell down her eyes and hit the ground.

She gently closed her locker, leaned her back against it as she quietly sobbed. Bella brought her legs close to her chest, set her head down and just began sobbing ignoring everyone that was talking. Bella didn't know what to do, when she was done she quickly got up and ran off to the roof.

"Cade!" She called out when she reached the roof. "Cade! I wanna talk to you."

She heard something behind her, she spun and saw the man standing there with his hands in his pockets.

"Yes, Bella, how can I assist you." Cade spoke to her.

Bella gulped quietly and began, "I wanna know two things, maybe you have an answer."

"You want to know I can bring back your brother and you want to know how I can turn you human. Am I wrong?"

Taking a deep breath Bella nods staring a him. "My friends hate me because I kept secrets from them. I don't know what else I can do to make them forgive me."

"Let me confirm my deal for you, if I turn you human you will not remember any of the vampires you know or met. We will not exist in your mind, that way your mind stays pure along with your soul. You will be in a coma for a good sixty years so you can start anew and everyone you currently know, will be gone. And you and your brother, whom I will bring back when you wake, will be together."

"Will I stay this young or will I age...?"

Cade chuckles and shakes his head. "Your body will be preserved by magic keeping you young and happy. And when you wake up, you'll age normally without having to worry about anything."

Bella looks at him with a wonderment look on her face. "I'll take some time to consider this, if that's okay?"

"Take all the time you need, Bella. You have all the time in the world. Just remember, this offer doesn't last forever." And with that Cade disappeared. Bella pursed her lips tightly and she sat down in her spot considering the offer.

~

In class, Bella sat in her spot writing in her diary.

Dear Diary,
     I know its been a while. A long while. I haven't needed... I haven't wanted to write this stuff down, but I don't want to say it out loud either. The thing is: I'm a vampire, and I hate it. I feel hopeless, depressed, angry... but most of all, I'm scared. Part of me just wants to end it, but then I think of Zack, my dead brother. I'm all that he will have left when he's back if I choose to become human, so I need to find a way through this. No matter what it takes.

Bella sighs once more looking at Raven's back and seeing her talking to Adela and Kalia, it made her miss them. Putting her head down once more, Bella continues writing her thoughts down. She concentrated on what they were saying;

"I wonder if she wonders that we'll forgive her lying to us?" Bella heard Raven begin. "She had some guts to come to school knowing everyone hates her."

Bella pursed her lips a little bit. "I don't hate her, per se, I just hate that she lied to us and kept it from us. We could've helped her with whatever she was going through." Kalia responded to her, sighing.

"I was compelled to remember everything that has happened, and I'll tell you, she doesn't regret not telling us." Adela sneered quietly, glaring Bella's way. Bella tensed up feeling the glare. Bella continues writing. And when she was done, the bell chimes to start class. The teacher comes in and begins to teach class. 

Bella couldn't take it anymore, and she got up and left quickly excusing herself and headed out from the school to the Flower Shoppe. When she got there, she began to calm down and take care of the flowers, ignoring everything around her. Her thoughts racing about her wanting to be human.

~

Ven sat near the fire looking at the wall in front of him taking a sip of whiskey. Lea was sitting by him and doing the same thing. The phone rang interrupting their thoughts, Ven picked up his phone.

"Yo,"

"Bella left school and she's at the Flower Shoppe." Ki told Ven before he got mad. "She overheard her old friends talking bad about her and she couldn't take it anymore."

"Alright, I'll talk to her about it. I'll head over there right now." Ven says ending the call, quickly heading out. When he found the Shoppe, he walked in seeing Bella working on the flowers with her short locks in a high pony, he saw the tear stains on her cheek as clear as day. "Bella...?"

"Don't lecture me right now, Ven." Bella begged him quietly. "I don't need it right now, I came here so I wouldn't take my anger out on people I care about."

"They're just -"

"Angry? Hurt? Betrayed." She groans angrily, she stood strong staring at him with a frustrated look on her face. "I understand that! YOU did the EXACT thing too me when it came to Naminé. YOU kept that from me!" She yells at him, he could definitely tell she was really mad. "But you know what - I found a way to forgive you because I realized you had very good intentions on why you did it. But why won't they..." She began to break down again. "Why won't they understand..."

Ven walked up to her and hugged her tightly against him. Bella continues to cry and sob to his shoulder. She was undoubtedly hurt by what was going on, but she also knew that her emotions were heightened and she couldn't control how she felt in the meantime. When she was finally done crying, she looked at Ven wiping her tears.

"Thank you for being there for me, Ven." She told him with a smile. He smiles back touching her cheek gently.

"Of course, Bella, anything for you."

~

Naminé walked to Roxas's room and knocked on the door. She heard him faintly say "Come in" on the other side. She opened the door wide open crossing her arms after he saw her. He rolls his eyes gently.

"What the hell do you want, woman?"

"Letting you know that Cade is here for you." She responds to him. "He's waiting to see you."

Roxas's eyes went wide and he began to panic a little bit. "Why does he need me?"

"He didn't say," Naminé answers to him bluntly. "Don't keep the Devil waiting, Roxas. Because he's, you know." With that, she leaves him letting him panic more in his room.

Taking a deep breath, Roxas walks out to find the Devil. When he found him in the waiting hall, Roxas stops and stares at him.

"Arcadius, pleasure to see you in person." Roxas began with a smirk. "What brings you here to the world of the living?"

"You. Actually." Cade responds with a smile of his own. "You intrigue me, going after Bella, the second strongest supernatural being after me. Why do you desire her power?"

"Because she has the power to control ALL supernatural beings and I want to control them all to do my bidding and eradicate the human race." Roxas answers him putting his hands out with a laugh. "And once I do that, supernatural beings will be able to roam without feeling judged or shunned."

Cade chuckles. "Well, I should warn you, she is considering becoming human once more and when she does, you won't have such power." Cade said to him. Roxas was confused on what was getting at.

"She can't become human again, the power will go back to being dormant once more and the only way she can gain it back if she becomes a vampire once more."

"That's the point, you should see how miserable she is as a vampire." Cade began as he walked around Roxas. "But then again - I could read her mind. She wants her brother back more than anything so I'm placing a bet that she will want to become human." Cade stops walking looking at the painting of Kiki. "Then again, if you kill Bella she'll lose her one chance to become human and see her brother on the other side."

Roxas growls at rushes to him but stops when Cade held his hand up and Roxas yells in pain. "Okay! Okay!" Roxas yells over his pain. Cade stops and watches him regain his composure. "What the hell do you want me to do? If she turns human, I'll lose my one chance of becoming all powerful."

"See, that's the thing." Cade begins. "She wants to become human. I guarantee she'll choose that over helping the likes of you. But I would love to see how this turns out." Cade chuckles and begins walking out. "You have 36 hours to have her under your control, if not, she turns human regardless and she doesn't get to say good-bye to her loved ones."

Bella sat on the couch at night drinking a wine cooler, she felt the heat from the fire that was made. Bella was looking down at the floor deep in her thoughts. She took a swig from her drink once more. She didn't hear someone walking up to her until she felt a touch on her shoulder. Bella jumped up seeing Ki standing there.

"Ki..." She gasps out. "You scared me. What's up?"

Ki smiles. "What are you thinking about?"

Where to begin... She thought to herself. "Nothing much, just thinking about my friends." She states quietly. "They hate me so much, and I don't know what I can do to make it up to them." 

"It'll take time, Bella, they're just overwhelmed with how everything was kept from them." explained the male vampire. "They'll come around."

"You sound so hopeful, Ki." groans Bella putting her hand to her head. "And I was also thinking about Zack; Cloud isn't around enough to help me because he's trying to keep Tifa safe from this life. I feel like everyone is distancing themselves from me and I have no idea why!" She begins to tear up once more. "I want them to understand why I did it... I didn't want to hurt them. Do you know the note Kalia left for me, they're better off not knowing me right now because of what I did! They don't want me around anymore..." Bella takes a deep breath trying to keep calm. "I'm just wondering... I'm wondering what Zack would say to this to make me feel better."

Ki was lost for words, he didn't know what he could say to make the young vampire feel better. Bella began letting her tears fall once more.

"You know, I'm actually wanting to go see my brother... I wanna see him so bad just so I can feel better. He knows the right things to say, he knew what to do at this point..." Bella continues falling to her knees facing the fire. "I could actually kill myself right now and end it all so I can be at peace with my brother, but I know he would hate that..." Bella puts her head down letting the tears fall again. "I don't know what I can do anymore..."

Ki went behind her touching her shoulder once more, she turned and began crying on his chest for the millionth time crying. She was so frustrated with crying so much that she was ready to turn off her humanity, but what would that solve? Ki kept hold of Bella tightly letting her know he was there for her, no matter what happened.

~

It had been about another day before Bella felt back almost normal, she compelled the school to let her graduate early so she could leave and never come back. After she was done with the school, she was walking home she felt a prick on her neck and she became weak. She turned her head as she fell seeing Naminé with a sad look on her face.

"Sorry, Bella..." She heard Naminé say faintly as Bella completely passed out.

After what felt like hours, Bella woke up with a gasp looking around seeing she was somewhere unfamiliar to her. She got up from the concrete and glanced at her surroundings. Bella's eyes vamped out as she kicked the bars but she didn't feel them budge.

"Dammit..." She cursed quietly. "Help!" She yells out reaching to grab the bars but hisses in pain on how heavy they made the bars with vervain. "Help!" She yells out once more. "Please help! I'm down here! HELP!"

"We hear you bitch." She heard a familiar voice say as he walked up to her. "You're awake, finally. Now we can get under way with you controlling your powers." 

She growls at Roxas and glares. "I will never, ever help you." She tells him. "I made that very clear the last time we were together didn't I?"

"I don't care if you did or not, bitch." Roxas snarls at her grabbing her neck tightly making her choke loudly as he hears a snap and she falls quickly unconscious once more. Roxas dropped her body hard on the floor, opened the cell and picked her up throwing her over his shoulder and walked off. 

~

"She was taken?" Ven repeated the information Lea told him. "How?"

"We don't know, they just left the note and said she would be sacrificed tonight for her powers." Lea answered him.

"Doesn't she have to consent to them?" questioned Ki. "I mean, they're her powers."

Ven shrugs. "No one quite knows how her powers work, with Roxas being as stubborn as he is, I wouldn't put it past him to figure it out. Regardless if she consented or not. We have to get her back."

Lea and Ki nod and they all rush out to find Bella.

~

Bella woke up once more on a roof, she groans and gets up rubbing her neck. Looking around, she knew where she was at. Bella turns around seeing Roxas talking to witches, she took a deep breath ready to run, but then she was knocked down back on her butt. She stood up quickly putting her hand there feeling an invisible wall. She looks down seeing salt surround her. Bella begins to panic turning to see Roxas standing there with a smirk plastered on his face.

Bella glares at him; "Seriously Roxas? I'm not doing this!"

"I don't need your permission to do this, I can take it from you." Roxas said, motioning his witches to get started. "Any last words before the power drains you and you die?"

"Yes, I'd love to make a phone call..." With that request, Roxas tosses his phone and Bella catches it dialing a number. She put it up to her ear and smiled when she heard the familiar voice answer the phone. "Ven..."

"Bella! Where are you?!"

"Don't come for me, Ven. You'll end up dead if you come." Bella warns him. "I'll be fine, I promise." 

"Don't tell me that, Bella!" Bella closes her eyes at his tone feeling the tears from her eyes once more. "I need you here with me, tell me where you are and I'll save you."

Bella opens her eyes gently. "You can't save me this time, Ven." She cries gently keeping her smile on her face. "I have to save you and my friends before Roxas takes control of all of the supernatural population."

She could hear the worry in Ven's voice, his voice was breaking. "Isabella Rose Fair, if you live through this -" Bella winces when he says that. "- Would you wanna marry me?"

Bella lets out a breath of a laugh. "Of course, I would love too." She answers him. "IF I live through this..." She said and closed her eyes frowning. "I love you..."

"I love you too, Bella. Now tell me, where are you..." Biting her lip she whispers to him and puts the phone down hearing his protests and she hangs up on him. She looks up at Roxas with a strong look.

"Do your worst, Roxas." She said with strength in her voice. "I will come out winning like I always do."

Roxas smirks and the witches begin their chant. Bella grabs her arms tightly yelling out in pain as the witches continue their chant. The pain was unbearable to Bella, but she couldn't let Roxas win. She looks at him with her right eye open, she then feels her power releasing. She then closes both eyes then snaps them open showing nothing but a lavender glow, the power was so strong, it blew the witches back and Roxas flies back into the brick wall watching her lose control of her power.

"Cade..." She began speaking, it echoing after she speaks. "Turn me human, I don't want him controlling me, I don't want him to kill off the humans." Bella continues as her eyes turn back to their normal sky blue color. "I want to see my brother again... but please, all I'm asking is leave my friends unharmed..."

Cade walks from behind Bella and nods. "You have a deal, Ms. Bella. Enjoy your human life." Bella felt something different about her. Not even a few months into her vampire life, she wanted to become human. Bella in her final moments had realized she was being so selfish. In the end, she knew she would see them again. She at least hoped.

"Thank you..." Her voice faded as she drifted into sleep. "Cade..."

"NO!!!" Roxas screams and rushes to her but is stopped by Cade. "Damn you..."

~

Ven rushes onto the roof seeing Bella seemingly unconscious to him. Ven's eyes widen and she rushes to her once more.

"Bella!!" Ven picks up gently, shaking her awake but wasn't budging. "Wake up dammit, wake up!" He begs her shaking her once more. "Please..."

"She won't wake up for some time, Ventus." the voice of Cade spoke in the distance. "She's in a coma for the next sixty or so years. Don't worry, you'll see her again. I made her a deal not to hurt you or her friends." He explained.

"Why did you do this?"

"She was miserable as a vampire, didn't she explain that?" Cade tuts a little bit walking towards them. "The only side effect from this is that she won't remember any of you. But there is a way for her trigger her memories. But - that will come at another time. If she chooses to remember you, then I know to leave her soul pure, but in the mean time, her soul will remain the same."

And with that, Cade disappears making everyone look at Bella seeing her sleeping soundly. Ven hugs her close, asking her quietly why she did what she did.

Dear Diary,
     I've lost everything. I've lost myself. I was being so selfish when I asked Cade to turn me human once more so I could see my brother - but for what...? Losing my memories of the friends and the love of my life? Yes, I regret my decision, but I hope one day when I wake up from all of this - I'll be happy with my brother and isn't that what matters?

Ven was carrying Bella back to the house, Ki and Lea following behind. When they got there, Ven put Bella in a spellbound room that only they could enter, and a few others just to see Bella that way they can keep her face bound into their minds. 

     I gave up forever for this, I'm going to miss Ven, I'm going to miss Lea and Ki. I'm also gonna miss Snow, Serah and Sora. I enjoyed my time with them and I shall cherish those moments deep in my heart. I just hope they forgive me for the selfish choice I had made. Once my brother is back, I hope they choose to give back my memories or else... Or else my life would've been nothing without them.
     If you're reading this, please remember. I love you all so, so much. And I'll see you soon.

Ven stroked Bella's cheek gently. Smiling, knowing he would do anything to have his Bella back. The happy Bella he fell in love with. The loving woman who's been by his side; but maybe - maybe one day he'll spend eternity with her. No, not maybe. He knows he'll spend forever with her.

"Wait for me, just in case I come home."
