Okay first of all this is my first fan fiction story so if it's bad.. well I apologize :) I love Twilight I've read all three books and cannot wait for the Fourth to come out. I wrote this story after reading New Moon therefore for those of you who have read Eclipse it may not be such as big an ending as it was when it was written. Second I do own neither Bella nor Edward or any other characters that I may mention in this story. They are all the marvelous creations of Stephenie Meyer. Third and final thing, the timing will most likely be off on alot of things I know this so please do not send me any messages telling me this. This story is after all fictional. Thank you for taking the time to read this and without further adu I present to you the twisted story of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen.

Bella's P.O.V

I was running down the stairs and grabbed my coat. I held the sides and wrapped them around around me. I opened the door and walked out with my head down my hair covering my embarassed expression.The wind was gentle and I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. I looked up when the gentle purr of Edward's engine hit my ears. I saw Edward's perfect crooked smile behind the wind shield and I rolled my eyes though I was smiling as well. I walked up to his window and he rolled it down to greet me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked and in his most gentle dazzling voice he replied

"Get in"

If this had been anyone else I would have kindly declined but how on Earth was I supposed to turn away from him?

I walked around and got into the familiar shiny silver volvo.

"So can I know why you randomly show up putside my house and tell me to get into your car?"

He just smiled at me and returned his eyes to the road. I sighed and waited patiently. I looked at the house when we pulled up and before I could blink he was opening my door. I stepped out of the car slowly taking his hand cautiously trying not to trip. He surprised me by grabbing my hand and entwining our fingers. A feeble unsure smile played across my lips. He led me inside and we went to the living area. He sat on the sofa and pulled me down onto his lap. He wrapped his arms around me and I tucked my head into his chest with his chin on my head. I closed my eyes briefly then remembered he didn't have a heartbeat. I felt a deep blush spreading rapidly to my cheeks. I almost forgot where we were until I heard Alice's angelic voice coming from behind us.

"Hello Bella!"

I didn't want to move but it would be rude not to. I started to move forward but could not escape Edward's stone hold.

"Hello Alice." I said sounding almost scared but there was no reply. She had walked gracefully up the stairs.

I took a deep breath inhaling Edward's sweet scent.

I was snapped from my reverie when he spoke, "Bella, I have a surprise for you." His hold on me loosened so that I could turn around to look up into his honey topaz eyes.

"A surprise? For what?"

Edward's smile faded and he looked slightly hurt but his gorgeous smile soon returned.

"I'm not surprised that you do not remember. It was not exactly the kind of day that you would want to be in your memory forever."

My expression changed and my brow furrowed, my eyes slightly narrowing.

"Edward what are you-?" My eyes shot open. Today was exactly six months since Edward had promised the Volturi that he would turn me into a vampire. I grinned from ear to ear and rested my head against his chest once more.

"I think I do remember." I said shyly and moved my hair away from my neck in a subtle manner. Edward reached into his pocket and handed me a black box. I took it and examined it with curious eyes.

Is he being funny? Am I going to open this box and find a pair or plastic vampire teeth? Maybe he's trying to joke around and it'll be a painkiller?

I looked at the box in my hand and opened it slowly. My eyes widened when I saw a beautiful silver diamon studded bracelet. I took it out the box and stood up slowly. I looked at Edward who was smiling and he stood up also. He took the bracelet from me and turned it at an angle. I saw letters on the side that was not studded with God knows how many diamonds.

Save a life.

I looked up at him confused was this supposed to be some form of cruel joke? That he was about to take my human life away from me in order to keep himself from ever losing me? No that couldn't possibly be it for Edward had always said once you were turned you could hardly call your existence a life.

"Edward, what does that mean?" I asked him not taking my eyes away from his face. It was hard to sound confused when looking at his face knocked the breath out of my clumbsy human body.

"I knew you wouldn't remember." He smiled my favorite crooked smile and it astounded me so much that I almost completely forgot what I had even asked.

"Today is exactly one year since I saved you from becoming a dent in Tyler's van. Exactly a year since I first saved your life.. excluding that first day in Biology." He pulled me close to him and kissed my forehead.

I looked up at him confusion apparent in my eyes.

"I thought you were going to turn me..."

His eyes narrowed "No, why?"

"It's six months exactly since you promised the Volturi that you would make me into a vampire." I whined and had to fight the urge to stomp my foot and cross my arms.

He sighed and let me go cupping my face in his hands and looking straight into my eyes.

"Bella you know why I can't do that. I love you too much." He let go of my face and sat down.

"Yeah well you obviously don't love me alot if you refuse to let me be in your arms forever." And with that I stormed out of his house ignoring the looks coming from his family as they had clearly heard our conversation. I was slightly surprised that I managed to make it to the end of the driveway without him stopping me. I broke into a run and ran past all the trees that hid his house. I ran the entire way home with short stops to catch my breath. Charlie had gone fishing with Billy so I knew I wouldn't have to explain the rivers of tears that were flowing down my now pink and flustered cheeks.

I went to my jacket and took out my keys. I walked back to my truck. I paused behind the wheel before turning the key in the ignition.

Why did I react that way? He just got me a beautiful bracelet that he probably spent alot of- No, wait. This isn't my fault. I refuse to be the bad person here. He promised he would turn me and i'm clearly still waiting for that to happen.

I drove out of Charlie's drive way and drove off as fast as my poor little truck could handle. In other words.. Forty-Eight miles per hour.

I didn't know where I was going until I saw Jake's house before me. I guess it was just a reflex. Edward hurts my feelings badly and I run to Jacob Black.

I sighed and got out of the car. The house looked deserted and very unloved. The sky was darkening with the heavy promise of rain.

Why did this surprise me? Of course Jake wasn't home why would he be? Ever since I had left with Alice we had lost contact completely. With our dads on this trip he had probably known that I would try to see him. I let out an over exaggerated sigh and re-started my truck. I turned around and headed in the direction of the meadow.

A half an hour later I arrived at the trail which held so many memories.

I got out the car and started moving through the trees. Another hour passed and I finally broke through the last row of trees into the beautiful meadow. I looked at my jeans which were now covered in mud since I had fallen two or... maybe five times. I looked around and remembered the first time I had come here with Edward. The first time I saw him sparkling in the sunlight. Our first kiss. Oh how badly I longed for one of those soft, cautious kisses. I decided I couldn't just stand here forever looking like an idiot although no one could see me. So I moved forward and sat down. I soon relaxed until I felt a drop of rain hit the top of my head. I opened my eyes and looked around a sudden rush of fear crawling from limb to limb. It was dark. Too dark for me to possibly find my truck and still be in one peice. I scrambled to my feet and ran to the shelter of some large trees. Ten mintues passed and still the rain showed no signs of stopping. I sighed and started walking through the woods not realizing that I was heading in the opposite way from my red Chevy truck. I walked for another twenty minutes until I finally figured it out.

I heard a noise behind me. I froze in my spot my feet glued to the earth below me. It was too loud to be Edward. Maybe Jake? Maybe he had been near and caught my scent wondering if I was okay. I relaxed a little and turned around smiling.

My smile soon faded when I didn't see the face of a wolf infront of me. Instead I saw the face of a bear. A big menacing grizzly. Where was Emmett when you needed him?

That definetly isn't Jake. I thought before turning on my heel and running. I knew that when you were near a large and dangerous animal you were not supposed to make any sudden movements but I could not control myself. I had acted on the instinct to find safety and perhaps NOT get eaten by a giant bear.

Edward's P.O.V

I looked at the clock and sighed. It had been four hourse since Bella had stormed away from me. Usually she would have called or come trailing back by now.

She must be really mad at me.

I stood up and walked outside towards my car taking a quick glance up to the sky which was now a midnight black. I got into my car and headed off toward Bella's home hoping to find her safe and sound in her bed. I pulled up across the street from her house and my mouth popped open like a jack in the box when I did not see Bella's truck in the driveway. A rush of emotion and shear terror spiraled through my body. I got my cell phone out. No missed calls or text messages. I let out a slow frustrated growl and tapped in Bella's number.

"Hello this is Bella's phone. She's either busy with Edward or has tripped and can't make it to the phone. Please-" I snapped the phone shut at the sound of my sister Alice's ridiculous voicemail message. I put my head on my forearms.

"That's the problem Alice she isn't with me. She isn't safe in my arms. God knows where she is." I muttered. I started the engine and drove around aimlessly. I actually stopped when at a stop sign next to the forest. I saw something moving in the trees and got out the car. I wrinkled my nose smelling the creature the second my door was open.

"Jake." I muttered almost spitting the word.

"You." I heard the deep voice behind me and I spun around to see the boy looking at me.

"What do you want?" I tried to sound polite but it was positvely impossile to be polite to something to smelled to vile.

"I want to know why you're here so close to the line."

"I'm looking for Bella. Have you seen her?"

He smirked in response "Girlfriend run away from you has she?" He chuckled.

"Listen Jake. This is not the time for a 'Who-Deserves-Bella's-Heart-More battle. There was a storm and she isn't home I'm worried about her. Now have you seen her or not?" I surpressed a growl.

"No I have not. But she was in La Push today. Embry saw her outside my house and watched her turn around heading in the other direction. He followed her but he soon lost her as he had to go around the forest where as the road goes straight. She was heading that way." He pointed and I followed the direction of his finger.

"The meadow." I said to myself.

"The what?" Jake asked but I was already getting back into my car. I turned around and sped away leaving the youth standing in the middle of the road. When I got to the trail I smiled. Bella's truck was parked by the trees. I walked up to it and was mildly dismayed when she wasn't in the cab.

No matter. At least I know she's here somewhere.

I ran into the trees and through into the meadow. I stopped with the rain running down my face looking around. It was stupid really. Of course Bella wouldn't just be sitting there in the rain she knew better than that. The smell of the wet grass disabled my sense of smell a little but I could tell she had been here. Standing in the same spot where I was standing now. I paced the meadow slowly sniffing the damp air often trying to catch a whiff of her beautifully seductive scent. I closed my eyes picturing myself finding her lost in the woods somewhere and apologizing solemly. I was snapped away from this day dream when I caught her scent. I broke out to a sprint into the trees. I dodged stumps and whacked branches. I couldn't stop smiling soon I would be holding her close to me feeling her warmth and listening to her heart beating faster as I kissed her forehead. Then I stopped suddenly.I could see her but it definetly wasn't what I had been expecting to see.

Bella was on her back on the ground mud caressing her body. My heart broke seeing her lay there unconcious. Her face was colorless. It reminded me of my own skin. The sudden realization of the simple fact that was all my fault hit me like a boulder hitting a squirrel. I dropped onto my knees beside her and held her face in my hands kissing her pale pink lips as if expecting her to suddenly awaken. I was speechless. I could barely think. The heart that had been dead inside of me for some time now shattered with every passing second.

Our lips parted from the others company and I could feel something warm on my hand. I removed my hand from behind her neck and my eyes widened when I realized that the burgandy colored liquid on my hand was blood. My senses went wild. The temptation to remove the blood from her veins over whelmed me and for a moment I thought I would lose all control but I managed to hold onto my self control.

I brought her into my arms and ran to my car. I laid her down in the back seat and sped off to the nearest hospital which regretably was all the way in Forks. I looked over every few seconds. My eyes growing darker every moment and the scent of the blood running through my true loves veins growing stronger with every breath. I held my breath and pulled up to the emergancy room. I pulled Bella into my arms once more and walked fast into the hospital. The doctors put her on a stretcher and I explained what had happened with the best lie I could come up with at the time as they wheeled her away.

The doctor said, "Okay we've got her from here."

And they disappeared behind the doors to the operating wing.

My mind was a mess along with those all around me. I felt as if I were going to explode. I ran to the reception desk trying to keep my pace a little slow so I looked normal but it was hard. I asked her if it were possible for Carlisle to be the one to see Bella. It took some major deliberation but she finally agreed.

I went to the waiting room and sat in a chair in the corner far away from everyone else trying to block all their mangled thoughts from my mind. My breath was still. I was thirsty. I could feel it burning inside of me but I could not give in. I would not let it control me. Bella needed me and I wasn't going to leave her.

Bella's P.O.V

All I saw was darkness. I tried to speak but I couldn't. I was weak. All I could hear was that of the machine beeping next to me with every beat of my heart. I shuddered slightly as I felt something cold slide into my hand. I knew it was Edward but it still surprised me. I wanted to see him. To let my eyes wander over his angelic face but my eyes would not obey.

"Bella? Can you hear me?"

Apparently my voice wouldn't work either. I squeezed his hand as hard as I could which was still fairly weak. I heard him sigh in relief.

"You don't have to speak.:

I wanted to laugh at that.

"I'm really sorry that I upset you I didn't mean to make you think that I was - you know."

I squeezed his hand again to let him know that I understood.

"I thought i'd lost you Bella. I don't know what I would do if you were gone. The Volturi are out of the question now that they know about you I guess I would have to provoke your little... friend." He couldn't see it but I rolled my eyes. I felt his hand leave mine and my stomach turned to knots.

Crap! Did he see me roll my eyes?

I was soon given an answer when I felt him place the cold bracelet around my wrist.

"I promise you Bella that if being turned is what you truly desire then I shall give it to you as soon as you are ready."

I felt his hand trace lightly back into my hand. He was shaking. I felt a sting in my eyes and I managed to part my lips but no sound rolled out. I felt his weight shift as he leaned over and I felt his icy lips against my forehead. As he sat back down I took in a deep breath.

"I...love...you." I muttered weakly and I heard him swallow.

"I love you too Bella."

My eyes slowly opened and I saw him smile, his perfect crooked smile. I immediately felt better. I looked over his perfect face and noticed his dark eyes.

"You're thirsty."

"It can wait."

"No, go I'll be fine I promise. There isn't much I could do to endanger my life when i'm in the hospital."

He smiled and brushed my cheek with his fingers lightly tracing my cheekbone. He stood up and walked away.

"Hey!"

He turned with a smirk on his face. He walked back over and leaned down kissing me softly. I smiled and watched him walk out of the room.

ONE HOUR LATER.

I was looking out of the window watching the birds in the trees and listening to their gentle songs. I didn't notice that Edward had walked into my room until I felt a pressure on the bed. He wrapped an arm around me and put his nose against my neck. I closed my eyes as he kissed the nape of my neck and his hand moved up and down my arm. This was certainly... unusal... for him but I figured that given the circumstances it was acceptable. He suddenly stopped and was standing in front of me before I could even open my eyes.

"Bella," he started and looked around as if to make sure that no one could see us, "You know how much I love you and that I would happily give my life for you."

"Yes." I replied curiously.

"Well I want to prove it to you." His hand ventured into his pocket.

My breath started coming out slightly staggered. He retrieved his hand. He was holding... something. I couldn't figure out what it was.

He looked straight into my eyes and placed his hand into my palm of my own. He removed his hand from around the mystery object and I managed to tear my eyes away from his face and looked at my hand.

My eyes widened. My breath stopped short. I could feel my heart beating a million miles per hour. The world around me became a hazy blur and all the sounds from the hallway and the heart machine disappeared. Sitting in my hand, was a black velvet box.
