Even though I was still in the Twilight universe and Bella may still be alive – perhaps with James, Victoria and Laurent. A lot of things still didn't make sense to me, or I could understand them.

But I did know one thing for sure. I knew was that I was safe, as long as Edward kept his word.

- 6 Months later -

The day when Edward had proposed to me had to be the best day I'd ever had. It had been five months since we'd moved to a small town on the coast of England. We'd gone into the forest close by, right up to a mountain where the sun shone brightly through the trees. We had sat there for hours and then Edward had gone on one knee and asked me to marry him, baring a very expensive looking ring.

We had kissed then. I was afraid at first, but I wouldn't let that get the better of me. It was nothing like what I had experience before. It suddenly felt like nothing else mattered.

Of course Alice had knows before we got back and greeted us, grinning. She wasn't even upset I had ruined my make up from crying o happiness.

Rosalie was proud of me when I had told her about this kiss. I wondered how long it had been till she'd found Emmett.

Everyone had been really happy and excited about the wedding. Everything seemed so unreal.

We hadn't seen or heard about Bella, or James' clan since she'd tried to kill me. For all we knew she could have died. However, one night when Edward had gone hunting, she invaded my mind again.

I opened my eyes to the familiar forest I remembered from before. As soon as I recognised it, I ran as fast as I could. I didn't know where I was going; I only knew I had to get away.

Bella appeared from nowhere, standing in front of me. My eyes widened with fear, and even though I tried to turn and run the other way, my feet wouldn't move.

"Why are you trying to run?" she asked me.

I said nothing. I was more than certain she knew my family would come after her if she did anything.

"I'm not going to hurt you…" she started. "I just wanted to say, I'm sorry for all the trouble I've been causing."

Now this really didn't make sense. I hadn't seen her in over half a year.

"I see you're getting married." continued Bella, motioning towards the ring.

I nodded. Her eyes were full of sadness and despair.

She took a deep breath. "Well… congratulations."

I watched her, confused. "Is that it?"

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"No, Edward should be yours? No… I can't believe he's going to marry some filthy human?"

She cringed. "You said it yourself – I've changed now."

"But this isn't even your gift! You can't just be here… to apologise?"

Bella lifted her head and looked around at the night time sky.

"I have to go." She said quietly.

"What are you talking about, why?"

"I have to go." Bella repeated. "I've taken a big risk coming here tonight."

She disappeared just before I woke up. I got out of the bed and walked over to the window where I leant on the cool window ledge, leaning on the small window seat.

It didn't make sense, any of it. Why would Bella take a risk to come and say sorry? Why was she even at risk?

The sky outside was slowly getting lighter. The house where we lived now was on it's own by the beach. Behind us was the forest which went on for miles into green. I could see the sea gently washing up on the sand from the window.

Two people were walking along, hand in hand. As I watched them I soon realised it was Alice and Jasper. I looked away, feeling like I was invading their privacy, and lay across the window seat with my back to the wall.

"Hey," said Edward, walking into the room.

"Hey," I breathed, looking up dreamily. Edward could make all my worries go away.

He sat down beside me as I sat up.

"Up early aren't you?" he asked.

"Actually, Bella…"

I was cut of by a growl coming from him.

"Calm down." I said quickly. "She wanted to apologise."

"Took her long enough." Edward grumbled.

I looked at him sharply. "She had to leave though; she said she was taking a big risk being there or something."

"Yeah." muttered Edward coldly. "She was."

"I don't think she meant it like that, it was like someone was after her." I said. "Like she was being chased."

Edward pursed his lips. "She didn't hurt you, did she?" he asked.

"No, I don't think she will again." I replied.

"So you're not afraid?"

"Should I be?"

He sighed. "It's just that she's come again, this might not be the last time. And you've said before that she shouldn't have this gift, because in the books her gift is something else. But that would mean she has someway of getting into your mind – someone else might use that power – like the other vampires."

"Are you trying to scare me?" I asked trying to make the situation funnier.

He gave me a questioning look and I laughed.

Edward rolled his eyes. "Rose." He muttered.

I smiled smugly.
