Alice had had a vision of Jane a week ago, when we were fighting Edwin, Edwards's brother who had, sometime, somehow, become a vampire.

I'm a vampire. By accident. Long story short, Edward and I were kissing, like really kissing, and when Edwin crashed through a window, scaring us, Edward had bitten my tongue. Not exactly how I pictured my changing, but hey, I am what I always wanted to be.

Jacob is back and he and I are friends again. One of the many good things that had come out of this mess.

Jacob and his pack finally killed Edwin when Jake was able to phase back and forth again.

I had had a pretty busy week and was exhausted. But vampires don't sleep. I sighed and walked slowly down the giant stairs, counting each one. It was three in the morning and I was bored.

It wasn't so hard to convince Charlie to let me live with the Cullen's. I just had to point out that A) I was still in Forks, B) I was in a safe place, C) I was eighteen and a high school graduate, D) I would be going off to college in a few months and E) if he didn't let me, than it didn't matter, because if you refer back to letter C, I am eighteen and a high school graduate, so I am a legal adult. Not to mention I was going to marry Edward soon. He had agreed without much convincing done on my part.

Last Saturday, it was foggy, but not raining, and it was dark, so we decided to go ahead and move me in with the Cullen's. We loaded up Alice's yellow car, the one that was exactly like the one she had stolen back in Italy, and my truck. I didn't have much, and I wouldn't need my bed, but we loaded up all of my clothes, my books, my CD's, and the rest of my miscellaneous junk and driven them to the Cullen's house.

They were all neatly placed around Edward's room, now my room as well. My clothes were neatly hung in our closet and my CD's added to his giant collection. My books resided in a small bookshelf. (Edward's were downstairs in the library.)

So, I was dragging my hand along the staircase and reading Sense and Sensibility, when Alice skid to a stop at the foot of the staircase. "Okay. I'm dragging you out for a day of shopping! Rosalie and Esme are coming too. GIRLS DAY OUT!" she screeched.

"AW!" I said, holding up my book. "I would, but I am just starting Volume 3! Sorry."

"Drop the book." She hissed.

I smiled. "You can't make me."

She smiled, accepting the challenge, and lunged for the book. I spun out of the way as she caught herself on the steps.

"Fine, I'll come." I said.

"Really?" she turned, brushing hair from her face.

"Nope."

She laughed. "Oh you are so coming."

I ran off. She chased after me. When I turned the corner into the library, I saw Edward sitting in a plush chair, reading Romeo and Juliet: The Screenplay. I dashed around and hid behind a brown suede couch that matched the chair he was sinking into.

What is she doing? I heard him think, but he didn't give me away.

That girl is so coming shopping with us. Alice. She had entered the library.

I shook my head quietly, laughing to myself.

"Who are you looking for?" Edward asked pleasantly.

"Bella, Edward. And I know she is in here. I saw her."

Darn. I closed my eyes.

I was running up to the room Edward and I shared. Alice looked in, looked out, and ran off.

I opened my eyes. I would be safe in our room.

I peeked over the couch. Edward was engaging Alice in a conversation, asking her to buy him a new sweater, black most likely.

Go. I'll keep her busy. Save yourself. He said.

I smiled and snuck quickly out of the room and up the stairs. I pulled my finger from my book and settled on the black couch on the wall opposite where the bed sat. Mrs. Jennings was just running into Elinor's drawing-room and had started off in her two page explanation of Fanny's wellbeing when a knock at the door made me freeze. Had she found me?

The door slowly opened and Edward strolled in, a look of triumph on his face. "So you got away?"

"Yep. You?" he nodded. "How'd you manage that?"

He grinned evilly. "Passed her onto Carlisle in a discussion about the cellular anatomy of something she was curious about."

I stroked my left index finger on my right. "Shame. Shame on you." I smiled.

"Aw. Don't be like that." He laughed and came over to me.

"I guess I should let her take me out shouldn't I? I mean, I am going to have to get used to her wanting to spend money on me."

"Yes, it would be nice if you would let her enjoy herself." He smiled and leaned in. I inhaled his scent and sighed.

"You smell so good." I moaned.

He laughed. "As do you."

He kissed me.

"Okay. I'll let her have her fun."

"Thank you. I'll be here when you get back."

"Always?" I asked.

"Always." He leaned his body towards mine, pressing me against the arm of the couch, and kissed me. I didn't pull away. He pulled back for a second, and smiled. "You are so beautiful." He said, and then started kissing me again.

"Ahem." Alice cleared her throat.

"If you two are done indulging yourselves, then can we please go?" she bounced on her toes. "I want to buy you clothes, and an IPOD, and shoes, and CD's, though you won't need them, nor the IPOD, with Edward's collection, and books, and a car! YES! A CAR!" she turned and started out of the room, ticking off things to buy me on her fingers.

I kissed Edward. "I guess I'm off to be buried in belongings."

"I guess so."

He kissed me once more, arching my back towards him with a hand and holding my face with the other. He pulled away and smiled. "I love you."

"I love you more."

"Don't start that." He grinned.

"I'll start it when I get back." I said as Alice called to me.

He frowned playfully. "Okay." he kissed my lightly once more and got up.

"See ya." He said and left the room.

I sighed; breathing in the scent he had left behind, and pushed off the couch as Alice called to me again. "Coming Alice!"
