Hey guys,thanks for the reviews! Sorry that its taking forever to update. Thanksgiving break kind of kept me away from my computer all week. But I have been thinking about the next chapter. Okay,now for the chapter!

Chapter Four

Future

Edward's Pov

As I held her close to my chest,I noticed how upset she really was. The first hunt is always the hardest to bare. You get this craving and you loose yourself for a brief moment. Its really frightening for most newborns. And Bella was horrified.

Bella's lips were stained with blood,and her hands were drenched. Her sweater on the other hand was untouched by the crimson color. To me,that was amazing. Normally a newborn was so out of touch with themselves,they would cause such a mess they would have to burn their clothes. Only Bella's jeans held splattered blood upon them. But only droplets of blood.

My eyes shifted up to my sister,who was walking ahead of us.

'Edward,I'm sorry. I should have seen this coming. I should have seen her freak out. If I saw it,I would have suggested we go with her when she made her first kill.' Alice's thoughts held the voice of worry. I shook my head at her,knowing she could sense that I didn't mind. I was actually pretty glad I got to be this close to Bella. Ive been wanting to touch her since I met her.

Bella placed her head on my chest and she sighed. I looked down at her and saw that her eyes were closed. Of course she wasn't asleep,but she's really good at pretending,or at least good at looking the part. She looked so peaceful. So beautiful....Wait...What was I thinking?!

I shook my head once the house came into view. Jasper was waiting for Alice to return on the porch. He saw Bella in my arms and he turned to go back into the house to get Esme. Jasper returned with my adoptive mother,who looked scared for the girl in my arms.

"Edward,what happened?"Esme asked me once I stood at the door. Bella opened her eyes and looked at me frantically. She didn't want them to know about her first hunt. So what do I do? I lied for the first time in my life.

"Bella...She uh....Bella fell down a hill trying to catch a deer. She hurt her ankle. Which should be fine by now."I looked down at Bella and gave her a reassuring smile. I slowly placed her feet on the ground,and had my hand in the middle of her back to steady her. She opened her mouth to speak,but was cut off by Esme.

"Oh dear,I hope your alright."Esme touched her shoulder and gave Bella a gentle smile. "Carlisle will be home shortly to talk to you. He wants a one on one conversation."Esme turned around and disappeared inside.

Jasper's eyes narrowed towards me. He,of all people,knew that I was lying. Of course Alice knew. She was there when all this stuff happened. Jasper shook his head in disappointment. I simply rolled my eyes and led Bella inside. "Edward...Why did you lie?You could have told them that I'm probably the worst vampire in the world..." Bella's statement had me in complete shock. Did she really think I would say such a thing about her?

I took Bella's hand and led her upstairs to her room. Once inside,I closed the door and turned to her. "Bella,I said this a few minutes before we came home. What happened out there has happened to us all. I know the shame that is felt when you lose to your sense."

"So you say I fell down a hill instead?"She shook her head and laughed slightly. Her laughter felt like a midnight breeze under the stars.

"Well it just came to me."I smiled. "You should laugh more,Bella."

"Whys that?"She asked,looking down at the ground. "Its not like I plan on staying for long...."

Her words hit me hard. She wasn't going to stay with us. With me.....Why should I care is she stayed or went? Its not like she would ever like me or anything. Sure Rosalie has tried to get with me for a while,but then she met Emmett. I suppose I'm doomed to be lonely.

I had to ask her one question. One question receives one answer. "Why?" I tried keeping my voice calm and casual.

Bella didn't meet my eyes as she spoke out her answer slowly and very vividly."Because,Edward,I don't belong with your family. I'm just a guest. I will stay a few weeks and then Ill go on with my own life."

It took me a few tries to get the right words to form in my mouth. "That seems....Very reasonable."I nodded towards her. "I should get going. Carlisle will be home soon and he would want to speak with you."She didn't speak,and I took that as my cue to leave. I walked out of her room and went straight to my own,at the far end of the hall.

Bella's Pov

When Edward left,I could feel a slight ache in the pit of my stomach. I wanted so much as to say I was going to stay with his family for as long as I could. But everyone knows that I won't last a month. Ill have to leave.

The whole way to the house made me feel so calm and free. Me being in Edward's arms felt so right. And when he lied for me,that just made me feel so much better. It proved that we could be friends. I could trust him.

Then I had to ruin everything by saying I wouldn't be staying for long. I could hear his voice crack as he spoke to me after that. When he left,I felt so horrible. I didn't want him to leave. I sat down on my bed and stared out my window. The window where I met Edward,basically and technically.

I smiled slightly at the memory that occurred only hours ago. Why was I having this feeling inside of me? I shouldn't get close to anyone here. It will just turn out like James and his coven. They will just disappear and probably leave me behind.

"Bella dear?"I looked up at the motherly voice beyond my door. It was Esme. "Carlisle is home and would like to speak to you in his study."

I stood up and quickly changed into a jean,thigh length skirt to replace my blood stained pants. I wasn't a fan of skirts,but it will only be an hour or two. "Ill be right out..."I told Esme,while I slipped off the shoes Alice let me borrow.

I walked out and met up with Esme. She had a heart warming smile plastered on her face. It suited her very well. She was made for the smile. Esme took a quick look over at me and nodded. "I have to say,you really do look lovely,Bella."

I was so glad I couldn't blush anymore. "Thank you Esme...."

"Follow me,dear."Esme led me down the hall,to the last door on the left. "Carlisle,Bella's here..."

"Come in."A smooth,kind voice was hear. Esme opened the door and moved aside. I walked in silently and looked around. I noticed that this room looked so much like a library. It held shelves among shelves of books. There was a desk in the middle of the room,with a computer on top of it. Behind the computer,was Carlisle. He was still in his hospital coat.

"You wanted to...See me?" My voice echoed through the silent room. Esme closed the door and I do believe went downstairs with everyone else.

"Yes,Bella. Please have a seat." He pointed to a chair against the wall. I sat down slowly and looked out the window on the far side of the room. "I would like to ask you a few questions...."

I froze. What was he going to ask me? "Okay..."

"Okay,first off....Would you like to tell me about your human life? Your family?" Carlisle gave me a kind smile.

I took a deep breath. "Dr. Cullen-"

"Call me Carlisle."

"Okay,Carlisle, I'm sorry but I'm not ready to talk about that kind of stuff. To me,its a little personal." I looked at Carlisle in his golden eyes. He nodded in understandment.

"Of course. It is your life. But may I ask one question,please?"

"Okay." I folded my hands over my lap and waited for him to ask away. I could understand where he was going with this. He wanted to help me. He's the one who said I could stay here as long as I wanted to.

"Where does your father live?" Carlisle's question was far from where I though his question would be. I thought and was sure,he was going to ask me about my change.

"My father lives here in Forks....."I lowered my head. Images of Charlie flashed through my mind. I missed him so much. I wondered when he would know I'm still alive and sort of well.

"I see...Bella,what is your first and last name?" Carlisle was now writing things down on a piece of paper.

"My name is Isabella Swan."I sighed at the familiar name that I shortened. "My father's name is Charlie Swan." I quickly stated before he even asked. He simply nodded and smiled.

"Thank you,Bella. You can go now. I just wanted to ask those questions."I stood up and headed for the door. "Oh and Bella,if you need someone to talk to Esme and I are here. Or you could talk to anyone of my children. That is, when your ready."

"Thank you Carlisle." I waved and left his study. I went straight to my room after that. I hugged myself,on my bed and groaned.

Charlie....The father that I wouldn't trade anyone for. He was always there for me. I missed him a lot and I wish I would see him again,soon. But I already know I won't be able to. Now that I'm a vampire,being near the house would be dangerous. I could accidentally kill him and not be conscious of it.

Edward's Pov

I couldn't hold still,in my room. I was pacing from wall to wall. From corner to corner. Emmett had come into my room a few times telling me to stop walking. Saying he could hear my every step and it was getting annoying. Of course I wouldn't listen to my knuckle headed brother,but I could figure how annoying it could get.

I heard Esme say Carlisle wanted Bella. Then I heard them walk down the hall towards his study. About twenty minutes later,Bella had retreated back to her room,quickly. I wanted to go to her room so much and find out whats the matter. But I couldn't find the courage.

Alice's thoughts were getting closer to my room,and before she knocked,I opened the door. "Hello Alice." I greeted with a grim smile.

"Edward,I had another vision..." Alice had such a smile on her face,I would swear her face was stuck like that.

"What kind of vision?" She was repeating 'Hello' in every language to keep her mind occupied.

Alice started to hum. "Its about Bella. She's going to stay." Alice started to jump up and down.

"Wait,that means she decided already." My mouth fell open.

Thats when Alice frowned. "I know...Thats her decision at the moment. She's still unsure about it all. I keep seeing her staying,and then leaving. Staying and then leaving. She's a very complicated girl to figure out." She smiled softly and placed her hands on her hips. "But don't worry. I have a feeling she'll make the decision you want to happen."

"What do you mean by that?" My eyes narrowed at the pixie like girl in front of me.

"Come on Edward. I see how you look at her. You like her." She placed her hand on my shoulder. "I also see you in her future if she stays." She turned on her heel and skipped down the stairs.

I stood in shock. Alice saw me in Bella's future. Was that true? Damn it! Why did Alice have to say hello in every language to keep me out of her mind?! Why wouldn't she let me see it for myself?

I sighed happily to myself. At least there was a chance of me being in her future. I just hope she will have me in her future.

Okay guys. There you go Chapter 4 and I hope you all enjoyed it. I honestly think this story is more fun to write then my other story. So if your also reading A Bleeding Love,then I'm sorry if your getting annoyed that I'm updating this story more frequently then my Sasuke/Sakura vampire fnfiction.
