What will happen when Bella finds out something about Edward that she never expected? What if he is not as perfect as she thinks he is? Bella did not give birth to Renesmee, but she will come into the story later on.
It has been a year since the Volturi came to make sure I was a vampire. I am happily being a part of the Cullen Family. Tonight, just like every other Friday night, we are having a movie night. I looked up at Edward, who was holding me tightly to his chest, tighter than he had used to, not that I'm complaining. I wasn't breakable anymore. He smiled down at me; his face told me he was completely content, like I was, sitting here with me in his arms, surrounded by our family.
However, his contentment didn't completely reach his eyes. I was used to this happening sometimes. He would get that look in his eyes like he was nervous. At first I ignored it, thinking it was nothing, but when it didn't go away, I asked him about it. At first he was surprised that I had noticed something he didn't know he was doing himself, but he just claimed that it was nothing to worry about, he was just thinking. I believed him.
I looked away, hoping he wouldn't read any suspicion in my eyes. I snuggled closer to his chest and tried to pay attention to the movie in front of us. I tried not to be suspicious, I really did trust him, it was only when I saw that look in his eyes did that ever changed. I couldn't help but wonder if he was as perfect as I always thought he was. Stop it Bella. He is just as perfect. Stop making a deal out of nothing.
When the movie finished, we said our goodbyes and headed to our cottage. I absolutely adored our cottage, it was perfect. When I was a child I always wanted to live in a cottage in the woods like in the fairy tales but when I grew up I started to see sense and realised that the woods could be very dangerous, especially at night. I was so happy when I first saw the cottage because I knew that I had worried over nothing because I couldn't be physically harmed anymore. We got to live in a cottage, Edward as my prince charming.
As we approached the front door, Edward picked me up bridal style and carried me slowly inside. His lips fiercely moving with mine, his eyes burning with passion as we tumbled onto the bed. It was these moments that I really loved Edward so much, any walls that he put up around himself when others were around slipped away. Every move he made burned with passion and love, as did mine.
I could spend all of forever in the cottage, just the two of us. But I knew that it wasn't the right thing to do, we needed to keep a routine. Every morning I would go hunting with Edward because I was still getting over my newborn faze. Then we would head back to the main house and spend time with our family.
This morning the sun was just starting to rise, and that was our cue to leave the cottage.
"Come on, Edward." I say, pulling him up so we could go. I loved the fact that I was physically as strong as him now. We were equal now, partners.
"I love you, so much." He states before taking my hand and running with me into the forest.
We run north, keeping our senses open for any food that may come by. I hear the steady thump-thump of some deer and run towards them, venom pooling in my mouth. Edward didn't hunt as much as I did, and he had hunted yesterday, so it was only me today.
My feet barely making a whisper of a sound as I pushed my muscles to go faster towards the food. My throat is extremely dry at the thought of their delicious blood. I spring at the biggest deer, flattening it to the ground. I sink my teeth into its neck, the blood pulsing down my throat, and growled softly in content. The fire in my throat temporarily gone, I left the deer and walked towards Edward, who was watching me hunt. I could tell that he was still trying to get over his protectiveness that he had to have when I was human. Silly boy.
"Still can't handle me facing against a wild animal?" I walk up to him and cross my arms.
"I'm sorry but I can't help it, Love." He looked at me with so much adoration that I couldn't control my instinct to jump into his arms. I wrap my legs around his waist and crush myself to him. He wraps his arms around me and holds me up. He gently kisses my lips.
"And I love that about you." I reply before getting down. I take his hand and run to the house.
When we reach the house, I can hear Jasper and Emmett talking about something in whispered tones. It sounds serious, which is weird for them. I strain my ears to hear more, and hear them saying something about Edward.
"It's so weird though, Edward actually following through on the promises he made to his girl."
"It was bound to happen sometime, mate. He wasn't going to play with them forever."
I look over at him, and he can tell that I heard what they said. I raise an eyebrow at his guilty expression. Since when did he 'play' with his girls? He had always told me I was his first. And I believed him.
"I can explain – I – I was going to tell you about that today actually.." He stutters, walking towards me.
I back away, and acting on pure instinct, I flee. He lied to me.
