Bella's Story

Choices

I walked silently down the stairs; tip towing, trying not to be heard. Finally I made it to the door. Looking around examining the hallway as I shrugged into my coat. When walked out the door I carefully checked to see that Charlie didn't hear as the door carefully clicked shut.

My heart froze when I got in the truck and there he was waiting. My personal savior. On many different levels.

"Is it possible for you to show up with out scaring me?" I hissed in the dark.

"It isn't my fault that your human senses a acutely slow." He shrugged. I could see his pale skin glow in the dark. Much like a ghost. "Charlie will be up soon."

"Then why did you leave me a note telling me to meet you in my car Edward?" I asked genuinely confused.

"I wanted to show you something." He grinned mischievously.

We have been together for almost two years and still his beauty still left me breathless. When I didn't respond he pulled me into his arms and climbed back out with me.

"What now?"

"Well I have to show you something but if you turn that key to your truck Charlie, along with half the town, will wake up. Besides I can run faster than that truck can go." Edward flashed my favorite crooked smile and put me on his back like I was as light as a feather.

"Ready?" He asked as I did a chokehold around his neck and my legs tightened around his waist.

"I guess." I mumbled as I dig my face between his back and my arm closing my eyes. He took off running, in which direction I wasn't sure. I was tempted to peak and see where we were headed but quickly decided throwing up on Edward was not going to be on the agenda to night. What ever the agenda might be.

"Bella we're here." He whispered in his velvet voice.

I immediately looked up to figure out were we were. He chuckled as he pulled me from his back and set me on the ground.

"Were are we?"

"If I told you then it wouldn't be a surprise." Even in the night I could see his teeth gleam as he smiled.

"This better be good." I mumbled. The fact that I HATED surprises never stopped him or Alice, the thought made me stop.

"What?" His smile turned into a mask of worry.

"Alice had something to do with this." It wasn't a question and he knew it.

Edward sighed and looked me in the eye. Right now his eyes burned deep gold. I tried to remember to breathe, but my breaths were rushed. My heart was racing and I'm sure he could hear it too, probably more than I could.

"Bella. Please be good. I promise it will be fine." His velvet voice burned with sincerity.

"Fine I'll go quietly." I sighed in defeat.

"Good. And yes she had very much to do with this." Edward gleamed pulling me towards the edge of the woods.

"Edward where are we?" I asked again cautiously.

"We're almost there." He pulled me by my hand through the green shrub. I looked around still trying to figure out were he was bringing me to, but it was too dark.

"We're here." I must have had a look on my face that said 'I-am-extremely worried-about-what-was-beyond-those-trees', because he sighed and turned the full force of his eyes on me. And of course as soon as I looked in his eyes I forgot to breathe. "Bella. Why are you being so extremely difficult?" His velvet voice was as smooth as ever as he flashed my favorite crooked smile; even in the dark he was to intimidating.

"I…I…"I stuttered.

"Please. I wont let anything happen to you." Edward smiled seeing an easy defeat.

I inhaled his sent. Then sighed letting him win with as much grace as I could muster.

"Thank you." Finally he pulled me through the last of the last of the shrub.

There right in front of me in the middle of the woods, which was who knows were, there was a small circular opening. The clearing wasn't big, it was… comfy. Strait across from us I could just make out a pale figure hiding in the trees, which was only like 25 feet away. Japanese lanterns connected every other tree, surrounding the opening. Then in the middle of the clearing there was a table. On the table candles and crimson roses but nothing else. Then the figure across from us moved.

"Hi Alice. Nice work." I rolled my eyes. Behind me I heard her sigh.

"Sorry Edward I was trying to make a clean get away." She walked up to my side.

"That's ok. Thank you for all this." He looked at her. Swiftly I seen him give Alice a look and she nodded with a grin.

"Well I'll leave you be. Night Bella. Edward." Then she was gone.

"Come on." He pulled me over to the table and sat down. I sat on his lap rather than the other chair leaning my head against his cold chest.

"So what's the occasion?" Not that I cared.

"I just wanted to talk to you." I could feel him shrug under me.

"All this to talk?"

"I wanted it to be special." I looked up at him, now I was worried.

"And why did you want it to be special?" I asked slowly.

"I wanted to ask you something."

"What?"

"Here sit down." I frowned as he put me in the other chair.

"What's going on?" I asked in a shaky voice as he set me down and looked strait into my eyes putting his arms on either side of me.

"Would you stop questioning me on everything I do." He grinned. His breath was cold on my face and the smell was intoxicating. He must have noticed my heart was flying because he rolled his eyes and leaned back.

"Well I would stop questioning you if I could have any idea of what you are thinking."

"Do you really want to know what I am thinking?" He seemed to consider that.

"Well, not all the time. Just when something like this comes up."

"Well… I wanted to ask your opinion on some things."

"Like what things?" I asked again with hesitation.

"Well first off is, you wanting me to bite you. You seem to have your heart set on being a vampire."

"Yes. I don't have to say any more than what I said before. If you are never going to consider me being one of the Cullen's I know other vampires." Then I noticed I had never seen him so calm talking about this.

"I know your side and I have something to say."

"What?" Know I was even more worried.

"If you want me to be the one I'll do it."

"What's the catch?" I knew full well that I wasn't going to get what I wanted that easy.

"Why does there have to be a catch?" Now he was defiantly up to something.

"Because I know how much you hate the thought of me being one of you." He laughed. Now of all times he decides to laugh. Normally he gets really mad when we talk about me being a vampire, why the sudden change?

"Well that is a reasonable answer. I guess there is one catch."

"What is it?" I sighed I knew there had to be something.

"Why are you making that face?" He was defiantly amused by my reaction.

"Why wont you tell me what the catch is?" Then he looked at me and smiled, and of course I lost my train of thought. I could never stay mad at him when he cheated like that. He knew that too.

Suddenly his face was inches away from mine. He had his arms on either side of me on the back of the back of the chair.

"Bella, would you relax. Trust me." His breath was cold as his velvet voice came out smoothly.

"I do trust you." I muttered trying to concentrate, which of course was impossible.

"Ok, then do you trust me not to drink all of your blood if I bit you to change you?" His liquid topaz eyes stared at me waiting for an answer.

"Yes." Was all I could get out of me. But it was true, I did trust him.

"So how bad do you want me to change you myself?" Now he was trying to be intimidating. And it was working.

"Bad." I tried to keep my voice even.

"Would you let me take you somewhere out of town to do it?"

"Yes." He leaned closer and he smiled as he heard my heart race faster.

"When would you let me?" Now I knew something was up.

"Wait. You are gonna change me?" I stuttered.

"You want me to don't you?" Why did he decide now to change me?

"Yes." I hesitated. He sighed and leaned back and sat back in his own chair. "Edward what is going on?"

"Well right now Alice sees something." He began hesitantly.

"What?"

"You know that Alice has seen you as a vampire for a really long time. Lately she has been seeing the Volturi coming to check on you, well… all of us."

"Is that what this is all about?"

"Well no." He hesitated again.

"What?" I looked into his eyes attempting to seem sincere.

"They are coming in three weeks. I talked with Carlisle and he said the sooner I change you the better now." I could see the pain in his eyes.

"So what is gonna happen now?"

"I have change you before they get here. Jane is coming." I could hear the anger in his voice when he said her name.

"When?"

"Like I said the sooner the better." He sighed and sat back down.

"So what's the plan?" I couldn't quite wrap my mind that I was gonna be one of them. It seriously couldn't be this easy.

"Do you think you could get away from Charlie?"

"For how long?"

"Well Bella you know that you wont be able to come back for a while." He seemed worried about what my reaction would be.

"I think I can. Where are we gonna go?" I tried to cover up my worry. This was one of those times when I was glad he couldn't read my mind.

"I already have all that planned out. But if you're not ready for this I can wait and we can talk to them." He was really serious about this.

"No. I'll talk to Charlie. Besides remember I still have to go to college." I smiled half-heartedly.

"How are you gonna pay for it?" He smiled.

"I have a little money for college."

"You better send it in. When can you leave?"

"Give me two days."

"Are you sure? We have three weeks. You can take your time."

"No. I'm sure. I can get away. I want to do this. I will do this." I wanted this. I was gonna be one of them.

"Ok. Two days. I'm gonna take you home. He's gonna wake up soon." Edward sighed and got up.

"Ok." He picked me up and put me on his back. "Two days." I whispered as he started running through the trees. I concentrated on his breathing smooth and even.

Then I found my self in my bed with the sun peaking through my window weakly. My mind was clouded with sleep. Slowly thing started coming back.

"Two days." I sighed as I got up to go face Charlie down stairs. Slowly I got ready.

I walked across the hall to the shared bathroom. When I looked in the mirror I couldn't help but let my mind wander to the thought that I was gonna be like them.

Like Edward.
