Difficult Choices

Hi, it's Caketin3336! I'm back with another story!;D

Well this is the sequel to Uncertainty, but you do not have to read it to understand what's going on. This is a completely different story! I hope people like it because I'm worried that more people will dislike it than like it. I mean I don't mind if you don't like it, you're entitled to your opinion, it's just, well everyone wants people to like their story.

Basically it's about Edward and Bella, and difficulties with their future. I have planned it out already, and I am planning to spend more time on this story than on Uncertainty, make it better written. So I hope to update every week/fortnight. I know, long periods of time between chapters, but it'll mean they are better! Will be in Edward's and Bella's POV. Please review, a short comment, because Uncertainty hardly got any reviews, even though the ones I've got were

Loves brilliant. Reviews will help me make it better. So yeah, enough of the ranting!;)

Chapter One-Horror Struck BPOV

Three months on this island, and we still weren't ready to return home yet. Edward and I were enjoying each others company. We had some alone time too, but we enjoyed it most when we were together. Being engaged seemed to make things even more special on the island. Everything just seemed so calm and quiet. With just the two of us, there were no shouting matches between Alice and Emmett, no Rosalie telling us all about how great she was. It was just me and Edward. Although I loved my family lots, it was amazing to get some time away from them.

We heard that Emmett and Rose had returned from their time away. They went away for different reasons than us. Their son they thought they had lost almost a hundred years ago, turned out to actually be a vampire who had kidnapped Rose and chained up me, Alice and Edward in the process. He also tortured me. So he was destroyed. He was ended. Rosalie and Emmett left for a while to get some space and to grieve for their son.

Apparently they were getting back to normal and Emmett even came on the phone and joked about with us. It was good to know that they were beginning to turn the page over. We rang our family frequently and if they hadn't heard from us in three days, they would ring us. We would put it on speaker phone so that they could hear both of us and every time there would be a different person, telling us some funny story. I always liked it when Alice was on the phone. I missed her the most. She was like my twin sister, and my best friend in one. I missed our little girly talks we had and things were hard without her being just down the hallway when I was pissed off at Edward, even though that was hardly ever here, we never really argued.

But we made the most of our time here. Edward had promised to take me away, so we went to Isle Esme. It was in the middle of the ocean, no where near anywhere else. Mainland Brazil was an hour on a boat. No one else lived on the island, Jasper had bought it before he met Esme, and he gave it to her as a present when she was changed. Jasper was the one who had bitten Esme, after the Titanic sunk, he wanted to save his friend, who he met on the Titanic. They had been best friends since.

Isle Esme was absolutely beautiful. There was something new to discover every day. Edward and I went on many walks around the island, through the small forests with clear blue streams running through, heading towards the ocean. There were waterfalls with huge pools of water underneath them. Edward liked to swim there often, and I sometimes joined him. Everything was so peaceful, the only sounds were the animals in the forests and the quiet gentle waves crashing onto the land.

The ocean was a clear aquamarine blue which was always calm and the waves were small and made little noise. We would lie on the white powdery sand and look out to sea. The sun would blaze down on us and our skin would sparkle reflecting the colours of the rainbow. We would spend many hours in our spot on the beach, the place where Edward proposed to me in front of the moon.

The house there was secluded in the trees. Esme had it built there to give its occupants some privacy. She had designed the whole thing, she had an obsession with interior design. And though no one else except our family and the builders had even stepped foot on Isle Esme, she had included a stunning kitchen and dining room in the house, which wasn't needed. It originally had two bedrooms, separate ones for Esme and Jasper, but as her family extended, she extended the house too, which no one would be able to tell, the extension fit perfectly, like it had always been there.

Edward and I had taken the biggest bedroom. When we first got here, Edward ordered me out of the house straight away, I didn't have a chance to look around. When I returned half an hour later, there were candles scattered all over the house, in shades of red, white, pink and lilac. There were rose petals going up the glass stairs leading up to the bedrooms. I followed the trail of red petals and they led to a bedroom. The thick curtains would have blackened the room if all of the candles weren't lit. The rose petals led to the huge four-poster bed in the middle of the room. And on the bed, lay Edward, his shirt unbuttoned, hands behind his head, a beaming smile on his face.

He'd been doing romantic gestures ever since. He was one of the sweetest people I had ever met. The way he proposed especially, it was just so romantic and perfect. He knelt down on one knee after telling me how much I meant to him, and then asked me if I would take his hand in marriage and become his wife after presenting the most beautiful ring. This was all in the moonlight on the beach. It was magical.

And three months on, he was still being as romantic as ever.

Edward had been on a short hunting trip and he returned in the afternoon. I was sat at the piano, practicing. Edward was teaching me. He bumped me with his hip so that I would budge up so he could then sit next to me on the piano stool.

'You're doing great baby,' he said to me smiling. 'I've got a surprise for you.'

'Edward, you know I don't like surprises!' I whined.

'Well, you seemed to like this surprise,' Edward said getting a hold of my left hand and kissing my engagement ring. 'And all of the other surprises I have given you. Has there actually been a surprise which you didn't like since we've been here?' he asked, eyebrow cocked up, smirking.

I sighed in defeat, 'okay, you do have a point. Lets just hope it's good because otherwise, I shall not be happy with you.'

'Only the best for you,' Edward said to me as he stood up and bowed waving his arm around in circles dramatically. He then ran upstairs to get something. I let my fingers work again on the piano keys, playing a soft, easy tune.

Blackness suddenly fell in front of my eyes. I could not see anything, but I could feel something on my face. I hissed instinctively and got up quickly, crouching defensively. 'Wow, wow, wow Bella. It's me sweetheart.' I stood still, calm again, feeling safe with Edward. I could feel his hands fastening the blindfold behind my head. I could hear him grab hold of something before he took a hold of my arms, which were by my side.

'Edward, I don't like this!' I whined to him as he guided me to wherever it was we were going.

'Hush Isabella. Stop moaning and just enjoy!' he laughed.

'Don't laugh at me! You're not the one who can't see! Do you know how unnerving it is!'

'No I don't. But I know I wouldn't be making a fuss like you!' He began to laugh even harder. I frowned at him and then I could feel him walk round me to place a small kiss on my lips before guiding me again.

Eventually we stopped and Edward undid the knot, teasing me by doing it incredibly slow. 'Edward, if you don't hurry up, I will rip this stupid thing off myself!' I snapped. He chuckled quietly but went faster. When he dropped the blindfold, I gasped.

Before my eyes was a small lake, clear just like the ocean. I could see the small fish swimming frantically in the water. The lake was surrounded by huge walls of white rock. On top of the rock were hundreds of trees, and vines were hanging down the side of the wall. The sun shone down to almost the exact middle of the lake. I could hear monkeys swinging in the trees above. And birds were singing their unique songs. Yet another beautiful place on the island.

And sat on the water in front of us was a small wooden rowing boat. Edward put a muddy-green rucksack into the boat and stood at the edge of the water smirking at me. I was standing there awestruck at the beauty and the magical feeling of the place. He held his hand out for me and I stepped towards him, stunned. He then walked up to me and took hold of my hand and gently and slowly led me to the boat.

I sat inside on the plank of wood used for a seat. Edward then got in and grabbing hold of the oars, started to row. And slowly we started to sail across the water.

'This, this is just beautiful,' I managed to murmur.

'Isn't it just?' Edward smiled. 'I wanted to show it to you, I came across it earlier. I swam down there,' he pointed to the gap between the sheets of rock in front of us, 'and what's down there is even better.'

'You swam? You weren't wet when you came in earlier.'

'Because I came down here at around five in the morning. Then I went hunting, I dried off whilst I was running around. That alright miss?' he smirked.

'Ha-ha Edward,' I said sarcastically, 'you're so very funny.'

Edward was on me in a second. I was suddenly lying against the bottom of the boat and he had a hold of my wrists, pushing me down. His face was mere milli-metres from mine. 'What's that miss Cullen? Was that sarcasm I heard?' he growled at me. 'Because, I do not tolerate sarcasm. I think it is a cruel sense of humor, in my opinion.'

'Why yes, it was sarcasm,' I said coldly, playing along.

'Yeah?' he asked. And in a swift second, I was in his arms, over the water. I clinged on to him for dear life, not wanting to get wet and have to swim all the way back to the edge of the water. 'Do you know what I do to people who are sarcastic to me?'

'No. What?' I asked in a bored tone, trying to make him think I wasn't bothered.

'I drop them!' he said quickly, a sudden shoot of words out of his mouth. And sure enough, he let go of me. I was falling and I was kicking my legs, and throwing my arms out, trying to stop it somehow. Knowing what was about to come, I braced myself for the cold and wet that was about to happen. But instead of falling into the water, I fell into a pair of arms. I opened my eyes a fraction, to see Edward grinning widely and laughing so hard, the boat was shaking from side to side.

I was pulled back into the boat, and I let out an enormous sigh. 'Don't you ever do that ever again Edward Anthony Masen!' I ordered.

'Okay baby, I'm sorry,' he said to me, giving me a puppy dog face. 'I was just having some fun.'

'I know sweetie,' I replied to him smiling. 'How can I resist that face?'

He laughed and wrapped his arms around me. 'I wasn't really mad Edward,' I murmured in his ear.

He chuckled. 'I know Bells. I was playing with you. But I really didn't mean to scare you that much.'

And with that, he let go and started rowing again.

Edward had put the blind-fold on me again, and I wasn't happy about it. I grumbled non-stop at him for yet again, not being able to see. And of course, he just laughed at me. I could hear the rhythm of the oars that Edward continued rowing. Everything around us was silent. I could feel a soft cool breeze against my skin. I knew it must be getting darker by the minute.

After about ten minutes, Edward began to slow and we hit shallow waters. Edward got out of the boat and then held my hands gently, helping me get out too. I started to unfold my blindfold but he stopped me and murmured, 'you stay here Bells, I'm going to pull the boat in and then show you your surprise.'

I could hear him pulling the boat to one side and then he was there, in front me, kissing me lightly and delicately. He slowly took the sheet of black material from my eyes, but replaced it with his sweet smelling hands. 'One, two three...' he whispered in my ear, 'surprise.'

In front of me was yet another beautiful scene. It was late now and I could see some of the stars starting to come out and show themselves to the night sky. We were in a secluded area. The clear river was trickling through and there was soft white sand around us. Trees covered the area, so that we could not see any part of the island except the small area in front of us, the forest so thick. And right in the middle of the mini beach was a small tent. It was made from soft material, and it made me automatically think of a fortune teller's tent. Surrounding the tent were hundreds of candles and red, white and pink flowers. Edward picked up a beautiful pink flower and came back towards me. He rubbed it's soft petals against my cheek and placed it behind my ear.

He started kissing me softly and gently, gradually getting harder and rougher. We edged towards the tent, tugging at each other's hair as we went. Edward took his shirt off, I could see all of his bulging muscles clearly. He undid the buttons of my simple white blouse, still damp from earlier. Without parting his lips from mine, he took off his jeans and I began to do the same. I saw this happening before, one of my visions was happening now, I knew that any second now Edward would enter me and we make love throughout the night.

And as the time passed, as my vision came true, another vision began to seep into my mind. It edged it's way into my head as the old vision wore out. It got clearer and clearer and when I saw it clearly I gasped, wanting to cry. Edward halted and gasped, 'no, no. Why? That can't be true.'

A sudden surge of pain ran through me, erupting as if it were on fire. All I wanted to do was collapse but I couldn't. I couldn't do anything. What I saw was so horrible, so painful, I wanted to scream. What I saw was Edward kiss Tanya Denali.
