A/N: Hi as you can see, this is my first story ever. So if you think this is a terrible, and uneventful first chapter, I agree with you, but I promise it'll get better! Bear with me!

Disclaimer: I, unfortunetely, don't own Twilight. The beautiful Stephenie Meyer does, and I admire her for it. So here it goes...

'Run!' she told her tiring legs. 'Run as fast as you can', she pushed her oh so clumsy, good for nothing legs. Everything had been so peaceful two minutes ago, having lunch in a peaceful garden. Now she was being chased through the forest that was told to be haunted by unknown creatures, but the creatures known for their fatal traits.

She had no idea what exactly she was running from, just that if she stopped there would be some serious consequences. Like maybe death. Oh no, her clumsy legs were slowing down…tiring from the running that she had been doing for some time. She knew that this was going to happen some time. Because she also knew that whatever was chasing her was one of those creatures that had that abnormal trait of not tiring.

'What is the use anymore?' She asked herself. 'Really, it's not like I'm ACTUALLY going to win! I mean it's a surprise that I didn't trip like the klutz I am.'

There was a point there. Even if it didn't get to her now, it will eventually. Really, it's not like she could actually out run it. So she slowed down, aware with every organ in her body of what was to follow after she stopped. Slowly, she came to a stop. Right when she predicted it to happen…

I awoke with a sharp gasp. There certain terror in my heart that was not foreign to me. This was the 2nd time that I had this dream. I turned my head to find my angel that took all my fears away with his mere presence. My nose found the perfect stone cold nose of my protector, angel, lover, and finally soul mate, Edward Cullen.

At the reassurance that Edward did not leave me like he had once before, caused me to let lose a breath, that I was not aware that I was holding.

"Which dream was it this time?" Edward asked, with slight hint of guilt in his eyes.

"It's a new one," I lied, "in it I was forced to go home to Renee because Charlie didn't like all the time I was spending with you."

I knew that if I actually told him what happened in my dream, he would blame himself. I hated when he did that. So I lied to him. Of course, he knew that I was lying to him, but he never pushed it.

Plus, I suspected that this…creature that was chasing me was either a vampire or a werewolf. So if I told him about it, he would go on overdrive mode, and would become over-protective. Its not that I don't want him to be close to me, I would rather die to that vampire/werewolf than be separate from him. It's just that I didn't want him to worry about me anymore than he actually did already.

Even though we went through one and a half years without each other, I still felt that I didn't deserve him. Also, I was too afraid that he would really this time, tire of me, and leave me. So I did all that I could to not make a nuisance of myself.

"Oh, well just to let you know, I will cling to you, and be your own personal stalker. IF you go to Jacksonville, or where ever your mother may live right now, I will follow you there, and haunt your bedroom, no matter how much you may protest." Edward said with the guilt replaced by a glint of malice in his wonderful butterscotch eyes. He had just gone hunting today, and returned a few hours ago.

He had returned to Forks High School when he came back, much to Mike Newton's dismay, and returned to his normal life before he left.

Mr. Varner let me make up my Calculus test that I had missed while in Italy, but the story that we had told everyone…well we don't exactly have our story straight yet, but every time it comes up, I created a distraction, so that they would forget their question.

"What are you thinking?" Edward asked with frustration clear in his eyes.

"What else? About you." I responded.

About a year ago, this would cause him to become distant and sad, but now it only brought joy into his eyes, and caused him to smile my favorite crooked smile. I think that this is because a year ago, he thought that he would eventually have to leave me, and he didn't want me to be attached to him. But now, my immortality was guaranteed, so now we both knew that we would be together, forever.

I know it's foolish to think that he would leave me, even after Carlisle promised me safe passage into the vampire world, but you never know what is going to happen. That is the one thing that I learned from this whole experience with Edward leaving. But then again, coming back was unexpected too.

"What are you smiling about this time? I know that that beautiful smile could not be meant for me." Edward asked with sudden curiosity.

"You really don't see yourself very well if you think that." I shot back at him.

"That's what you think." Edward said with a wink, causing my breath to catch in my throat.

Suddenly, Edward's face went tense, and lost its carefree smile.

"What's wrong Edward?" I asked, worried.

"Nothing to worry about, it's just Charlie. This is my cue to leave." Edward said and kissed me swiftly on my lips, and disappeared into my closet, for now.

I faked a sleeping position, and breathed slowly in and out like how I would if I were really asleep. I heard the door open a crack, but did not close for a while. So I decided to end this little secret father-daughter moment. I turned my body so that I was facing the door, and pretended as if I had just woken up. I saw Charlie face change from surprise to sheer embarrassment at being caught.

"Dad?" I asked in the most confused and crackly from sleep voice I could muster.

"Hey Bella, just checking up on you. Go back to sleep." Charlie said, while closing the door at the same time.

Within seconds, Edward was next to me again.

"I agree", Edward said, "you should go back to sleep. You still have half an hour to sleep."

"M'kay." I agreed sleepily.

And so, I went back to sleep.

Yes Bella, sleep. Okay, the end of the first chapter! I hoped you liked it. PLEASE REVIEW.
