Chapter 1

"Bella, I can't. You know I can't."

Thus began the repeated argument Edward and I seemed to always have. I wanted to live with him forever; he didn't want to "damn" my soul. I had absolutely no idea how to make him see what I exactly felt. Alice kept telling me that her visions had not changed and that I would be changed eventually. So here I was sitting in Edward's room on his couch trying to convince him otherwise. He could be so stubborn!

"Edward, please change me! I'm already older than you and I don't want to get any older. Please, Alice says you will so why won't you?"

"Because, love, I couldn't stand not seeing you blush, not feeling your warmth, not catching you when you trip over air." I blushed. Was I really that bad?

"It would be like death all over again for me seeing you endure three days of fire running through your veins. Bella, just try to understand." Edward sighed as he combed his fingers through my hair.

"But then you wouldn't have to worry about me getting hurt." I whined. Man, this argument was getting really old. It was the same every time. "Edwaaaarrrd—"

Alice burst into the room grinning from ear to ear. She bounced over to Edward, who unceremoniously dropped me on the floor. He roared in anger and stormed out of his room slamming his door so hard, it nearly shattered!

"Bella, you're going to be changed!" She squealed. "I just saw it. That's why Edward got angry. He just doesn't want to accept it. He's scared for you."

"So that's why he dropped me. Hmph! You'd think that he would care for his human just a bit more." I grinned and winked at Alice who followed along.

"Yes, I can't believe he just dropped you. Why, being the human you are, you might've broken a bone or worse. Maybe he might've snapped your neck!" Alice gasped. She was trying so hard not to laugh. I scowled at her. I liked making Edward feel bad and if he heard Alice, he would instantly realize it was joke.

"All the more reason for me to be changed," I mused. Edward burst into the room, stammering out apologies for dropping me until he saw Alice and I laughing. Then he turned around and walked out, human speed, with the remains of his dignity. I kept laughing and laughing until I nearly cried. The look on his face was priceless when he realized that I was playing with his emotions. By the time I finally stopped, every Cullen except for Rosalie had come to check up on me to make sure I was okay. Emmett had come in, taken one look at me rolling on the floor in mirth, and had started laughing his head off. Sure, make fun of the human!

As I headed towards the stairs trying to find Edward, Emmett called me from his room. I turned to look at him and then my toe got caught in the rug and I tripped. I screamed in horror and then all went black.
