Bella's POV

I woke up against Edward's cold chest, as usual. I smiled and turned toward him I kissed him lightly.

"You've been talking in your sleep more than usual Bella. Now that It's summer time there's something I'd like to ask you." He whispered

"What is that? I can tell that I won't be ecstatic about it." I said, sighing. I lay my head on his chest and played with his fingers.

"A few years ago before a met you I would spend three weeks every summer at my the gathering with my 'grandfather.' I'd like to take you there I think it could be fun." He said.

"You mean like three weeks of more vampires?You've got to be kidding." I said half-heartedly.

"The gathering is when a whole lot of vampires and some humans who have entered in to our world gather for a big party. My grandfather really isn't my grandfather just a man my father knows very well. After the party we just stay in his mansion for a few weeks." He said reassuringly.

"And if you think that I of all people would put you in danger then I am very offended." He said, with his usual chuckle in his voice.

I nodded with a slow sigh.

Later…

I flopped my next pair of jeans into my suitcase. I folded up my shirts and rolled my sock. I could tell there would be danger coming. Anywhere there was possible dancing danger would follow me. Finally finished.

I zipped my overflowing suitcase closed and struggled to pick it up. I floated out of my hands. Edward grabbed it with one hand and carried it like a waiters tray.

He put it back on my floor.

"You're not done Bella. You'll need this." He said. He held a long black gown in front of my. It was black as night and it flowed out in slow waves. It was beautiful. Was never wearing that.

"Nuh-uh. Never. I'll trip on it. I'll disgrace you at this party thing no way. No way.

It's too pretty for me anyway."

"Oh Bella, please. You're so dramatic." He put the gown in my bag.

Once he's had the final word that was the end. He strolled up and held my face and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around his back and held them, hoping to hold him there. He chuckled at the attempt.

"Come on. The cars here." He grabbed my hand and we were out.

We were out into the cloudy skies of forks soon to be under the cold moon or worse the cold stares of a vampire clan.
