Chapter 1

EPOV

I ran swiftly toward my beloved's house, I had been back only two days and I still missed her with excruciating pain every time I was away from her.

I briefly contemplated the many varying degrees of wrong my decision to leave in the first place had been.

How I had survived a day without Bella by my side was impossible to comprehend, how I had endured months deprived of her presence was even more so.

However I was back now and had no reason to prolong thoughts on those torturous months of my life, existence, which ever.

I redirected my thoughts to another more pleasant and intriguing idea.

I had a gift for Bella from Alice with me and ii had yet to know what it was, as my darling sister had blocked me yet again from surveying her thoughts. I suppose I could peek but that would detract from Bella's initial reaction.

I was nearing her house now and I myself was tingling with anticipation, not for seeing what the parcel, which was wrapped inconspicuously in silver paper, contained but for seeing my love, Bella.

Minutes apart from her were excruciating let alone hours, however I had needed to hunt, it was a necessity I could not afford to overlook.

I scaled the tree beside my loves' window swiftly and was through her window in less than half a second. Vampire speed is advantageous the majority of the time.

I sat on the neatly made bed and waited for Bella to return to her small but homely room.

I was not worried for her safety when I noticed she was not in her room, as I had heard the shower running from the moment I had started to climb the tree. So I was therefore not concerned about her whereabouts.

Perhaps, I thought, she might want to open her present alone, so as not to hurt Alice's feelings if she did not like her gift.

I then roses agilely to my feet and walked the short distance to the bathroom door, keeping my movements as silent as possible as to not alert Charlie to my presence. When I reached the pale white door, I placed the parcel in the small gap between the door and its' frame.

After this small task had been completed I returned to my previous position in her room before I opened the parcel myself.

I heard the water cut-off.

I heard the shower door open.

I heard the sound of Bella's feet on the tiled bathroom floor.

I heard the parcel being lifted from the ground and the ripping of paper as it was opened.
