I stared at the large pile of envelopes on the counter at Charlie's house. They were all addressed to Isabella Swan. I stared at them so long my eyes began to water but, still the guilty feeling remained.

Cautiously, I picked one up, as one might pick up a bomb. I could tell from the writing that it was from Hermione. I let out a ragged sigh before tearing it open and reading.

Bella!

I think I must have sent my last few letters to the wrong address because I've got no reply from you.

I stopped reading and looked back at the pile. She hadn't got the wrong address.

Almost every day a new letter had come. It fascinated Charlie, of course. He stared at the owl at our window with childish glee, still not believing a single word I said about magic. I turned back to the letter.

I'm sure you've heard the news about Harry. Can you believe-

I had to stop reading again. It wasn't as though I didn't want to hear about them but, as soon as Harry was mentioned I thought of our kiss and Edward's kiss and then I thought of Voldemort and finally of Cedric. And I really didn't want to think of any of them.

With a sigh I dropped the letter back on the table. I'd have to leave to Hogwarts the next day anyway so I promised myself I'll read the letters on the way. Somehow I knew I wouldn't.

"What's wrong?" I heard a voice behind me ask. I jumped, swearing loudly. Turning around I saw Edward smile at me guiltily.

"Jeez, make a sound next time," I scolded but, with a humorous tone. Edward chuckled before crossing the room in one stride and engulfing me in his arms. I relaxed, letting the scent of crisp winter air surround me. Slowly Edward leaned down and let our lips brush sending chills throughout my body. I shivered leaning in to deepen the kiss but, Edward pulled back, resting his forehead on mine.

Upset, I turned around and began to order a couple of letters, unnecessarily.

"What were you reading?" Edward asks reaching towards the letter. I tried to snatch it up but, he was too quick and picked it up with ease. I watched his forehead crease as he quickly read through the letter. I felt myself tense as I worried about what Edward might think.

"Bella? This doesn't sound good-" Edward began but, was interrupted by Jasper. He had entered the room and had begun to greet us but, broke off quickly. He put his hands to his forehead as though he had some sort of terrible headache before looking at me oddly.

"The stress in this room is painful," He groaned before a wave of calmness enclosed around me and he visibly relaxed.

"Jasper," Edward whined, he didn't like that Jasper had this control over me although he could see nothing out of my brain.

"Alright, alright. I'm leaving," Jasper smiled and I felt the cool aura leave.

"Wait!" I called out, "Jasper, I could do with a favour,"

"Yeah?" He asked confused.

"As you know Alice is packing my suitcase," I said innocently, "I was just wondering if you could use your powers of persuasion to make sure I have at least one pair of jeans with me?"

"I'll try," Jasper laughed before disappearing. Slowly, I turned back to Edward who was still holding Hermione's letter.

"Bella-" He started but I cut him off.

"I know- I just can't take it right now," I said pathetically, unable to come up with a better excuse. He didn't look any less concerned; in fact he looked worse.

"Is this to do with the prophecy?" He asked. I almost groaned, this subject had definitely come up more than once this summer. I had already talked to Dumbledore about it:

"Bella, it is important you tell no one that doesn't already know. You could put their lives in risk. Who knows what Edward, for example, might do to save your life? The consequences could stay with you forever," He said pacing around his office. I noticed that he said 'could' often but, nevertheless agreed that I shouldn't risk it.

"Edward," I sighed, I didn't want to fight him. I noticed the way his shoulders sagged and he pulled away from me.

"My day is about to get worse," He mumbled, I was about to ask what he meant when Jacob ran into the kitchen.

"Bella!" He exclaimed, "I have some great news," Edward groaned loudly.

"What?" I asked curious.

"I talked to Dumbledore, he said if I protected the school grounds I can stay." Jacob said giddily, I could almost imagine him with a wagging tail.

"That's brilliant," I said, dodging the counter edge to hug him. I could almost feel Edward glaring at us.

"But, wait," I said pulling back, "What about the pack? You can't just leave them," I protested.

"I'm not, they're coming too," Jacob grinned wildly. Edward said something inappropriate, "I have to go meet Sam but, I thought I would tell you,"

"See you later," I called as he sprinted away, as soon as he left I turned to Edward and gave him a glare.

"What?" He asked innocently.

"Can you at least pretend to be nice?" I scolded but, it was hard to keep a straight face. He answered more seriously than I expected him to.

"No, Bella, why can't you see he's trouble? Do you even care about your safety?" Edward said harshly. I felt stunned but, quickly put on an emotionless expression.

"Jacob would never hurt me," I hissed, turning away from him.

"It's not just that Bella," Edward said, frustrated, "The prophecy, wands, magic, can't you see your becoming someone you aren't?" I felt my eyes burn from anger.

"Y-you don't want me to be a witch?" I asked hurt, angry and stunned at the same time. I heard a loud sigh.

"Of course I do, Bella. I just hate seeing you hurt and when you're around them I can't protect you," I heard him say in my ear. I turned to see that he had moved, with vampire speed, right next to me. I was about to open my mouth to protest to his last comment when Edward interrupted, "I'm sorry Bella. I love you," He kissed me lightly and I was too exhausted to protest so leaned in, relaxing.

Everything was fine. I assured myself.

Fine.
