A/N: Set after Eclipse. Edward promised to make Bella safe before they did anything. Now that he has accomplished that will he be able to give Bella what she wants so desperately and more?

I do not own Twilight.

Hunting again, god I hate it when he leaves. I know he has to, for my safety, but I still feel so empty without him here. Granted Alice was with me, as she always was when he left, but it wasn't the same.

"Alice," I said in kind of a whinny voice, "how long?" She closed her eyes as I waited patiently, or as patiently as I was capable of, for her to answer me.

"About an hour or so." she chirped with her soprano voice that was to musical to actually be considered normal. But then again you couldn't really call any of the Cullen family normal. I sighed, another whole hour of waiting.

"Relax Bella, he is coming back."

"I know, I'm being ridiculous."

Alice came and sat by me on the couch, tucking me under her arm.

"Bella, listen to me, you are not being ridiculous. We know you were hurt when Edward left and we know it still hurts you when he's away but you have to trust me, he is coming back. He will never leave you like that again and neither will the rest of us."

I felt the tears start to stream down my face. I buried my face in Alice's side as she held me in her arms. My eyes grew heavy and within a few short minutes I was asleep.

I dreamt of Edward, though something wasn't quite right. The scene was dimmed and as I looked closer I could see that I was in the forest. Edward's eyes were closed, his head back as if he were smelling the air. Suddenly his eyes snapped open and he was looking in my direction, whether or not at me I couldn't say. His eyes weren't the brilliant topaz I liked, no, his eyes were black as coal which could only mean one thing, he was thirsty. I tried to move but I was glued to where I stood. Edward stood half crouched, the same stance I had seen many times before when he was trying to protect me, and a growl emitted from him throat. He lunged at me and I screamed.

"Bella, Bella!! Wake up!!" Edward was yelling as he shook me.

I opened my eyes only to see Edward looking at me horror struck. I reached for Edward, despite my dream, I felt his arms wrap around me and he pulled me onto his lap. I breathed in his scent knowing it would calm me down.

"Bella," Edward said, his velvet voice was smooth but still held concern, "what happened?" I looked up at him, his eyes were topaz and held me for a brief moment. I couldn't tell him that the nightmare I just had involved him, what would he think? I scrambled for something to tell him, when I realized I had the perfect answer.

"Victoria." was all I said.

He looked at me with trying to read my face, looking for signs of my lie, but his expression softened and he smiled.

"Bella, my love, she's gone. She is never coming back." he said and kissed my forehead.

*I don't really know what to say other than I hope you like it. This was the first story I wrote and I have actually grown fond of it as I continued to add on to it.
