A New Beginning

BPOV

Edward was glistening in the sun, like a flawless diamond, relaxing with his hands behind his head in the soft grass of our meadow. I was sitting up running my fingers up and down the length of his muscular arm and staring at my angel in pure awe. I still couldn't believe that in a few short months I would be married to the most perfect man in the world.

"What are you thinking about?" Edward asked, as he often did. My being the only exception to his power left him constantly wanting to see inside my head more than anyone else.

"About the wedding, and our future." I answered honestly, there weren't many secrets between Edward and me, if any, and I liked to keep it that way. Plus there wasn't really anything embarrassing to hide from him, because I was fairly sure he was thinking about the same thing. In fact he was probably thinking about it more than I was, although over time I had grown used to, and even looked forward to, the fact I was getting married.

"Where should we go for our honeymoon?" Edward broke the calm silence, "I was thinking maybe London, Paris, Barcelona. Perhaps all three?" I had figured Edward would want to go over board on the honeymoon, but not like this. He had wanted to go on a cruise, backpacking across Europe, a private island, and many more luxurious getaways. The thought of him even spending a few dollars on my made my stomach twist but now he talking about hundreds, thousands, hundred thousands!

"Um, yeah. Don't you think it would be more romantic," and practical, I added mentally, "to go somewhere in Seattle, or maybe New York?"

"You just don't want me to spend a lot of money. Well forget it, this is going to be beautiful and extravagant whether you like it or not." Edward commented, smiling my favorite crooked smile, and with that I knew I had lost the bet. I had never been a great negotiator in the first place, and what with his dazzling skills he was "surprised" he had, and that heart-stopping (literally) smile, there was no arguing with Edward Cullen.

Suddenly Edward tensed, and shot straight up. His eyes flickering around the perfect circular pattern of the meadow. His breathing was rapid and I knew someone was near. Maybe the Volturi had come to check up on me, but wouldn't Alice have seen that? And if it wasn't the Volturi then I was at loss as to who it could be. By now snarls and low growls were ripping from low in Edward's chest, and he had assumed a familiar protective stance in front of me. Now I was seriously worried. Edward hadn't acted like this since we had returned from Italy, what or who had provoked this kind of action from him?

Then out of nowhere I saw a blinding light, as brilliant as a diamond, from the corner of my eye…
