Chapter 2

I just bit my lip and looked down, "Well I guess I'll see you later," I was about to pass by him when someone grabbed my arm.

I assumed it was Edwards but it turned out to be Edward. I looked into his eyes intently and waited for him to let go and speak up. "I'm sorry," he said.

All I wanted to do in that moment was jump in his arms and forgive him but I resisted. I looked passed him to see Edwards behind him. He smiled at me kindly before he nodded his head and walked away. I looked back at Edward and sighed. I couldn't stay mad at him. I just couldn't. I grabbed his hand and led him out of the restaurant and out next to our car.

"We need to talk," he said as soon as I let go of his hand.

"Okay then talk," I said as I crossed my arms over my chest. It was cold outside. Colder than usual. It felt like it was going to snow but that hasn't happened here since 1962. I ignored the shivers as I waited for him to start.

"I love you," he started.

And I interrupted, "I know that."

"I have never cheated on you Bella. I would have to be stupid to do that. And I think we both know that I'm not that stupid," I couldn't help but smile at his words.

One of these days I would probably regret being so forgiving but for now I'll just kindly accept that fact. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tight, "I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have said the things I said."

"It doesn't matter anymore. I just want you to know that I love you and I'd never do such a thing…ever," he whispered in my ear.

"Sorry to interrupt the moment but we need to go," Melissa said as she crossed her arms over her chest in impatience.

"Right now?" I asked as I still hugged Edward.

He pulled away confused, "Huh?"

I couldn't help but smile at his cute little confused face, "I wasn't talking to you," I reached up and pressed my lips against his.

I pulled away and looked behind up, "What's up?" I asked Melissa.

"We have a visitor," she said before stepping back. Right behind her was a girl in her twenties with long brown hair and hazel eyes. Her face was small and round, just by looking at her you could tell she was an innocent girl.

She was shorter than Melissa but the same height as me. "What's your name?" I asked.

"Megan Anderson," she said in a small voice.

"How long have you been…?" I still wasn't good at the whole dead thing. I guess I still needed Melissa after all.

"I don't know. I don't remember anything. I just remember waking up and looking for Jason and my parents but no one can see me," she sniffled. It surprised me that a ghost could cry.

"Who's Jason?" I asked.

"My fiancée…or at least he was until," she looked down at her shirt and jeans, "this happened."

I looked at Melissa, "Do you know where it is?" I asked.

She nodded, "Get your partner."

I ran my fingers through my hair and turned toward Edward, "Looks like I have another case," I put my arm around his and lead him back inside, "Let's go get Edwards."

We walked straight up to Edwards and didn't even acknowledge his date, "We have a new case."

He sighed before he put down some money and whispered something to his date. She nodded and we soon left, "Couldn't find a better time could you?" he said as we walked to his car.

I smiled at him sarcastically, "Nope I was very eager to make sure you didn't make 3rd base."

He chuckled lightly and shook his head, "I'm surprised you can tell I was getting close to it."

I got in the front seat while Edward took the back seat, "Why do I have to take the backseat?" he complained.

I looked back at him and smiled, "Because Edwards is my partner not yours. Plus the front seat is always mine."

"Always yours? Who else comes with you on these rides?" he asked amused.

"Well sometimes we need Angela, Jeremy, or Shane," Angela was actually the same Angela from Forks. Turns out she had become an artist and I was hiring for one so I chose her. Jeremy was the guy that worked with dirt and bugs. And Shane was my assistant he helped with whatever he could.

Angela and I are best friends now but she doesn't know any of my secrets. Well at least not the important ones like how I got raped instead of her and how I see dead people. I just didn't want to freak her out.

I told Edwards what Melissa was telling me, she was sitting in the backseat with Edward and giving me directions.

I got out of the car even before Edwards had shut it off, "Give me a flash light," I told Edwards as he got out of the SUV.

He handed me a flashlight and I quickly ran after Melissa.

"Bella! Wait for us!" Edward yelled after me.

It was a secluded forest area so I was dodging tree branches and bushes as I followed her deeper and deeper in. I came to a halt when I saw a skeleton in front of me. It was partially burned. I knelt down in front of them and started my analysis.

I was looking down at them, studying them, when Edwards and Edward finally came up behind me. "Female from ages 20 to 25. I won't know what the cause of death is until we get her to the lab."

A break of a branch from in front of all of us made me freeze where I was. I slowly stood up and took a step around the body and towards where I heard the sound. I could smell death in the air. That only meant one thing. There was a fresh new dead body out here somewhere.

"Bella, don't move," Edward whispered from behind me.

I ignored him as I kept walking on, "Swan, listen to the man!" Edwards yelled from behind me.

That when I heard someone start running. Most likely the murderer. I can't let him get away. I quickly went running towards the rustling but quickly came to a halt when I saw the body.

I could feel the heat radiating from it as it smoked slowly. It still had some hair on its head but it didn't have any clothes on. I looked up when I heard a noise and there was a figure standing right in front of me. I wouldn't have been that alarmed if it wasn't for the object I could see in his hands.

I froze in panic and waited for his next move. As soon as I saw him point it towards me I dropped towards the floor.
