This story takes place after Eclipse. The preface is the only time when it is third person. The rest is in Bella's point of view.

Alice opened her eyes and ran out the door. It took two seconds, and one more for Esme to catch up to her.

"What's the rush dear?" Esme asked.

"Bella!"

"What?"

They were now at Bella's house. They ran up the stairs, luckily Charlie was not home.

"Bella! Edward!" Alice shrieked. Edward and Bella had been sitting on Bella's bed when Alice and Esme burst in.

Edward growled. Alice looked apologetic. Esme and Bella stared and the two of them, confused. Edward pulled Bella closer, a louder growl rumbling from his chest.

"For goodness sakes!" Esme cried. "Stop playing your mind games and tell us what is going on!"

"Bella." Edward said.

"Edward?" Bella said.

"Jane told Caius…" Edward muttered. "He's angry. He wants it done."

"NO!" Bella shrieked. "But the wedding! It's not happening until… When? When are they coming?" Bella struggled to keep calm at these words.

"Tomorrow." Alice said, her voice almost inaudible.

"I thought you said that one year to them is like twelve for us!" Bella cried.

"Yes Bells. But Caius is very angry. He doesn't care how long we have had." Edward muttered.

"Noon tomorrow." Alice whispered. She looked at the clock. It was 10:00. "Fourteen hours."

"Alice." Esme said. She was fighting the look of fear on her face. "Let's leave them alone for a bit."

Alice nodded and they both, reluctantly, left the room.

Bella burst into tears.

"It's okay Bella. We will find a way around this." Edward sighed, kissing her forehead.

"There's no way." Bella whispered. She slowly moved her lips up to his.

"No Bella." Edward pushed her gently away. "Don't be like that. It'll all work out."

"Fine." She sighed. Edward pulled her back and kissed her. For Bella, it seemed to last forever. "I'll be brave for you."

Edward smiled. Bella's favourite. "Too bad you weren't brave enough to tell Charlie though."

"I was! He was just in a bad mood. I have to pick the right time."

"Now would be sufficient then." Edward smiled. "He's home now. He did well in his poker game today. He's happy."

"Why don't we wait until this other mess is sorted out then?"

"Fine. Goodbye." Edward climbed out the window. Bella sighed. She started down the stairs.

CHAPTER ONE:

It was 1:00. Charlie was snoring. He had been since about one hour ago. Where was Edward? I reached over to my bedside table to find "Wuthering Heights". I moved my hand over the dark table, frowning. Where was it? Quietly, I flicked on my lamp. No it wasn't there either. I turned around, maybe…

"Hello." Edward said, smiling.

"Oh hi."

"You can't still be reading this!" He held the book I had been looking for.

"Well no, but…"

There was a long period of silence. I just sat there like a bump on a log, thinking about the situation we were in. I looked over at Edward. He must be doing the same. Then, he looked over at me, throwing "Wuthering Heights" to the ground.

"What are you thinking?" he said, grabbing my hands in his.

I sighed. Of course. "Well I was just thinking about our little problem."

"Yes." he sighed. "I was thinking the exact same." He glanced at the clock. "Only about 10 and a half hours until we should be ready."

"What are we going to do?" My voice broke.

"I have been talking to Alice and trying to find out what to do. That's why I've been late. But, we will find something Bells." He hugged me closer and moved his lips up my throat. "I would never let anything happen to you."

"Change me now then."

"What!?" he pushed me away again.

"Well I bet Caius will kill you, and maybe me. So this is the only way out."

"No. There is another way. I know it."

"What is it then?"

"I don't know. But I'm trying. Besides, I just can't do that to you, leaving no explanation. That has to be planned out." he smiled.

"You are so unfair!" I couldn't stand to not be with him when he was that cute. I leaned over and kissed him. He pulled me closer and kissed me back. I could not live without him. That was for sure. Crap. I had to breathe. I gently pushed him, it was enough for him to let go, unwillingly, so I could get a few breaths in.

"What am I ever going to do with you?" he said, grinning.

"Never leave me. Will you promise me that?"

"Of course."

"Even death can not part us."

"Not even death. Now go to sleep. We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow."

"No. What if this is our last day?"

"It won't be. Do you want your lullaby?"

"Fine." I crawled back into bed, giving Edward one last kiss. He started my lullaby. It didn't take long for me to fall asleep. Though I didn't want to. What if this really was it for us? What is Caius's punishment would be worse than I thought?
