Prologue

Mom always told me to never walk alone at night. Maybe I should have listened to her. At this moment, my first time walking home alone, I am staring into the eyes of a man. No. Not really a man. He looks about my age. Well, that would make him a teenager, maybe 17. He looked like a god. Zeus was burned by his guy's image. Something keeps telling me to be scared, to turn around and try to run, but he mesmerizes me. I would rather look at him. Not to mention his smell. He smells so good. It's great. He walks a little closer. I've seen this guy somewhere. He beckons me to him. I walk up closer. His warm golden eyes suddenly turned to a cold black. All of my senses were literally telling me to run, but my feet were planted to the ground. No longer relishing in my curiosity, my eyes snapped closed. I could feel his breath on my neck. Then, as sudden as his breath hit my neck, it was gone. The reddish blonde hair, god like statue of a 17 year old, was gone, as if he had vanished.

"Bella?" I heard my mom call; I hadn't realized that I had started moving toward the other direction. My house was before me and my mother was standing on the porch in her night clothes. Eyes wide, she looked scared.

"Bella? Are you okay?" I could hear her talking; I just couldn't find my voice to answer her. I could feel the fear stricken expression across my face. I could feel my eyes drying from being to shocked and afraid to blink and remoisten them. So, I shook my head yes and walked slowly to my room.

Chapter 1

"Come with me, Bella." Edward pleaded with me. He gave me his best crooked smile that he knew I loved and I gave in. We started for the other side of the street to reach our destination, The Tattoo Parlor. Edward had talked me into getting a small heart with his name in it and he was going to do the same, with my name in it.

"Edward, Renee will kill me for this. Even Charlie will, when I go see him next month." I replied, but smiled. I would do it to prove to Edward I loved him. We stepped into the little dark room with a few lamps here and there to give it a scary feeling when we heard the drill of the needle coming out of a room to our right. We stepped up to the counter and were met by a tall brunette lady with a small name tag, Maryann.

"Can I help you?" She asked, looking pointedly at Edward. She was giving him a once over, appraising his good looks, I could tell. His shaggy reddish blonde hair laid everywhere on his head, except in the place it was supposed to be in. His squared jaw line and his emerald green eyes stood out against his pale while pastry skin. He could never get tan; he didn't hold it out very long.

"Yes, we both want to get a small heart, with each others name." Edward told her. She gave him an eyebrow like saying, "What the heck!?" and nodded. She got out two pink sheets of paper, our signatures needed on the legal document stating we won't sue if they messed up our skin! Edward read over the paper and then signed, I signed afterwards. She didn't ask for ID, so I supposed she didn't care or either thought we were 18 or older; probably the first.

Edward went first, so I could watch, but he promised me that he wouldn't let me chicken out. He had finally talked me into it and I was excited, there was no way I would back out by myself now. She called a guy that had sleeves of tattoos and both ears gauged to the front of the shop, Ian.

"They both want a tattoo." She said, sleepily. She didn't want to be here.

"Okay, what is it going to be guys?" Ian asked. He seemed friendly enough. If I had seen him on a street somewhere, I would probably have been scared out of my mind. I smiled and Edward answered, "We both want a heart. I want a black heart with red saying 'Bella' and she wants a heart with my name, Edward, in it. She can pick her own colors."

"I'll take the opposite, red heart black type." I replied.

"Okay, follow me." Ian said. We walked into a brightly lit room with Ian and Edward stepped up onto the doctor office looking table. He was getting it on his chest so he pulled up his snug fitting back t-shirt to reveal a chiseled chest sure to make Maryann's eyes pop. I ogled him for a second, something I should be use to by now, how many times I've seen him, but it still always caught me off guard.

Ian left the room and came back minutes later with a small sheet of fabricated paper that had the shape of a heart. "Is this big enough, or do you want the heart and letters bigger?" he asked Edward.

"It's a pretty good sized heart, Bella, What do you think?" Edward asked me for my approval.

"It's already bigger than a half dollar; I believe that is a good size." I replied. I was going to get mine on my hip, right below my jeans line.

Edward smiled and lay back on the table. Ian hovered over him while he fitted the paper to Edward chest where he wanted it. After he got it lined up correctly, he paused to get the color injected into the needle gun and to rub some kind of crème on to his skin. Ian tested the gun to make sure the ink went through and walked back to the table where Edward waited.

"Are you positive?" Ian asked Edward one last time.

"About what, that I love her or that I want the tattoo?" Edward asked back.

"The tattoo, I can tell you love each other just by the way you have been looking back and forth this whole time." Ian replied, smiling.

"Absolutely." Edward replied.

"Okay, here we go." Ian said. He placed the tip of the needle gun on top of the out line of the heart. Ian traced the heart in black, paused to switch colors, and traced Bella in a very pretty font in the middle of the heart, and then paused one more time to switch back to black to fill in the shape of the heart around my name. Edward didn't even grimace so I wasn't sure how this was going to affect me, the danger magnet.

Ian put some more crème over it and Edward got up. Looking at me with his amazing eyes, he said, "You ready Bella?"

I was scared to death, but I nodded yes. I than went to set up on the table, Edward helping me a little because it was a bit too tall for me. Ian done the same exact thing to my right hip that he did to Edward's chest, only replacing my name with Edward's. It didn't hurt to bad, more like a bee sting or a small prick of a needle. It was nothing to cry over. In no time, Ian was putting more crème over it and telling Edward and me instructions on how to take care of it. All I heard was, "It will scab, but don't pick at it, just keep lotion rubbed on…" I guess I'll have to get Edward to help. Not that he would mind.

We left the shop and went to get something to eat. In some way, I always knew that Edward and I would end up together. It was just like it was supposed to be. I felt so right with him in every way possible. We haven't had sex or anything, but that's because we both want to wait for the right time, preferably our wedding night. Yes, our wedding night. He's already told me he wants to marry me, but our parents would flip seeing that we're just barely out of high school, and me being legal only a week now. Edward was almost a year older than me.

As we entered the little burger joint Edward had found, he led me to a table. I sat down. He knew what I wanted. What I always got. A burger, no tomato or onion, add bacon, fries, and a large coke. I prefer Pepsi, but not every place has it. Anyhow, he went and got our food and came back 10 minutes later.

"Hey look who I found Bella!" Edward said smiling. I looked up to see little Alice following him to our table. Of course, she really isn't little; she is my age, if not older. She had always been a little different, but I never knew what and Edward didn't really like to talk about her. She was short and pixie like with short black hair and huge brown eyes. No, her eyes were more of a golden color. Jasper, her boyfriend, walked up too. His eyes were the same deep gold color of Alice's.

"Hey Alice and Jasper!" I said, smiling. I would love to talk to Alice one day, but I was only allowed near her if Edward was with me. It was like she had a secret disease and he didn't want me to catch it. All I knew was that she wasn't dying, so I didn't know what the problem was. I didn't let it get to me much. They sat down at the table and I noticed yet again that they were not eating. That was something I all of the time, like when we double date, Alice and Jasper never ate. It's like they eat before we leave, embarrassed of eating in public.

"Hey Bella." Alice replied in her darling voice. I could listen to her talk all day. Her voice reminded me of a little girl that was shy and didn't want to talk loud, but it was pretty like she could sing opera. "How are you today?"

"I'm great. Did Edward show you what we have done?" I asked her.

"No, He hasn't mentioned anything." She told me. Jasper's eyes narrowed.
"Nothing bad!" I laughed. I could only imagine what Jasper was thinking. "We got tattoos!"

"I wish I could get a tattoo." Jasper said.

"So guys!" Edward interrupted. There he goes again, changing the subject after an awkward statement. I want to know why Jasper couldn't get a tattoo, but I let it go for now. I would ask Edward about it later.

"So. Edward?" Alice said. She was always straight and to the point. She smiled a little at me for my benefit. I had a feeling that Alice and I would be great friends, if I could Edward to let us be.
"Alice, want to go shopping with me this weekend?" I asked. I knew Edward wouldn't say no in front of his sister.

"Sure Bella, I love to shop. Where at?" she replied, "I always go to this little boutique. We could check it out."

"Absolutely! I love the way you dress. Maybe you can give me some pointers." I told her. She appraised my outfit and lifted and eyebrow. I could tell she was judging my style.

"Your outfit is quiet cute itself. Where did you get this shirt?" Alice asked me.

"Actually Bella, We had plans this weekend." Edward said, I could tell by the look in his eyes that he was worried. But worried about what? I had to find out.
"No we didn't Edward, I just made plans with Alice to go shopping. I'm going shopping this weekend. Girls night out!" I said. I was kind of excited to be honest with myself.

"But Bella." Edward started.
"Okay. I'll pick you up at 7 on Saturday." Alice said cutting Edward off.

"Sweet, See you then!" I replied. I was smiling, Edward was frowning, Alice looking happy, and Jasper seemed suspicious. Edward and I finished eating while Alice and Jasper sat there. We talked about school, clothes, family, and a lot of other things, and then we got up to leave.

Okay, so this right now is leading up to the main plot.
