Hey, guys! Here's another chapter for Dark Betrayal! I loved the last chapter and I finally got reviews for it. I really, really want reviews for this story. If you're reading, please review!

We are starting in Bella's POV. She is still burnt, this is about four days after she got hit with the lightning. She has not spoken to Alice the whole time, and Alice continues to apologize, but seriously, would you guys forgive easily after someone did something like that to you? Nooooooooo! or, I wouldn't anyway.

Disclaimer- i do not own Twilight...nough said.

"Edward?" she asked, her eyes still closed.

"Yes, angel?" I asked as I kissed her forehead, my lips staying there for a moment.

"Can we go to our room? My legs hurt and I just want to lay down with your arms around me," she whispered as she let her head fall to my chest.

I placed my arms under her and picked her up bridal style, she did not need to be walking yet. I walked up the stairs slowly, the stairs of our family burning holes in my back.

I reached our room and set her on the bed, laying down beside her. My arms wrapped tightly around her as she scooted closer to me. She lay her head on my chest, right over where my heart would be. Her eyes closed and her breathing evened out. She looked as though she could be sleeping, a sleeping angel.

I would never let go my angel. I love her.

Now

Bella's POV

Furious.

Angry.

Pissed.

Do I need to go on? I have been doing absolutely nothing for the last four days. Reason being, I still hurt most of the time, and Edward is treating me like the same breakable porcelain doll I was when I was human. I always hated being treated that way, but now I really don't. It just shows me he loves me. I mean, what else can I ask for?

I forgave Edward easily. It was not his fault he had to run out to his car, which he finally pulled up to the house. Alice, however, I have not forgiven. She's who I am angry with. She should have never hung up on me, especially in my condition. She has been apologizing continuously until she saw the damage, but I'm letting her suffer. I did apologize to Jasper for making him feel her emotions, but he understood, surprisingly.

"Bella?" Carlisle's voice broke me from my thoughts.

I turned around from the window I was looking out of from his office. I had been here the last few hours, waiting on him to come home. Edward said Carlisle wanted to ask me about being a Demonic. So, while Edward went hunting, and Esme cleaned the house, I stayed in Carlisle's office. Going through his books a little and just enjoying the view. Besides Edward's room, his office had the best view.

"Yeah, dad?" I asked with a smile on my face. Carlisle was still in his doctor coat, his hair tousled from him running his fingers throught it because of problems at work. There seemed to be a lot of those lately.

He set his bag down and hung his coat up as he asked, "How are you feeling today? Any pain?"

I sat down across his desk as he sat behind it. "No, not really. The pain is lessening because I am healing. It's still odd, though, looking in the mirror and seeing half my face a pink color. I sort of forgot what I looked like as a human and it brings back a few memories. All good ones, of course."

He thought it over. "I see...what memories, if you don't mind my asking?"

I smiled as I thought of them. All the great memories I had with Edward. Memories that I had not thought of, in detail, until now. "The memory of mine and Edward's first date. Well, as close to a first date as it could get." I giggled.

Carlisle smiled as I continued to recount my memories. "I remember when Edward first kissed me, when he proposed, the time he saved me from Tyler's van, and much more, dad." I smiled. "All of the memories I never wanted to forget, and now I never will. That means so much to me. There were memories about the rest of the family as well."

Carlisle's smiled grew as he watched the happiness and excitement in my eyes. "I'm very glad you enjoy your memories, Bella. I hope you do not get disppointed or hurt, should a bad one come along." He frowned slightly at the thought.

I looked down at my hands a moment, my smile disappearing, and then looked back up at him. "Dad, I have learned that I need to speak up. I need to...tell of what happens to me. For everything that has happened to me, I have come to the conclusion that keeping things to myself will only hurt me more later. If I do get a bad memory, I am going to talk to Edward. I know he'll listen and help me."

Carlisle's smile got the biggest I had ever seen it. "You truly are one amazing girl, Bella. I know Edward is happy to hear that."

I gave him a curious look. "Wha-?"

Soft hands landed on my shoulders and made me jumpt slightly. I knew those hands. I looked up into the face of an angel. "Edward!" I cried happily as I jumped up and into his arms. He laughed as I placed kiss after kiss on his face. Finally, I my lips landed on his. I smiled as I pulled away from him.

He smiled at me in return. "So, I take it you missed me?"

I decided to tease him a little. I pulled myself away from him and turned to Carlisle. "Are we done for today? Or did you have more questions for me?"

His small, secretive smile told me that he knew exactly what I was doing. I hoped he was blocking his thoughts. I watched as Edward's face changed in my peripheral vision. Dad must be blocking him really well. I smiled slightly.

"Oh, no, we're done. But if you don't mind, can I ask you some questions in a few days? I just have a few and they can wait for a while."

I smiled. "Of course. See you later."

I walked out of the room, not even glancing at Edward. I got halfway down the hall when I heard Carlisle's office door open and close and footsteps follow behind me. They were Edward's. His soft steps quickened slightly as I rounded the corner to our room.

I was just opening the door as he flew past me, through the still-open door. I closed it behind me as he sat on his black, leather couch.

"That was really mean, you know," he stated as his eyes simmered. They felt as though they were staring right into me, right into my heart and soul. He still has the power to dazzle me.

I stared back at him a moment before my facade broke. I looked down and smiled as I brushed my hair behind my ear. I looked up at him with a smile on my face. He seemed to not be able to hold out either. A heartbeakingly beautiful crooked smile spread across his face.

"Did you hear everything I told dad?" I asked as I started walking towards him slowly. He leaned forward. his elbows on his knees, his eyes alight with happiness, adoration, and love.

"Yes, angel, I did. I msut say, I am very pleased that most of your memories involve me."

I giggled. I finally reached him and he leaned back so he could look up at me as I stood in front of him. I ran my hand through his soft hair as he reached for my other hand. "Edward, I don't think my memories could consist of anything else. Besides our family, of course," I said as my hand continued a rhythmic pattern through his hair.

I smiled softly as a quiet, almost inaudible purr resounded through his chest. "That feels amazing, angel," he sighed

I leaned down and my lips met his. I continued with my hand and he pulled me closer to him with the hand he was still holding. I lowered to my knees slightly to get closer to him, but he decided that wasn't enough. He slid off the couch and onto his knees, pulling me with him as he wrapped his arms around me. Ever so slowly, I pulled away from him, our breathing ragged.

"I love you," he whispered as his breathing calmed and he looked into my eyes.

I smiled as I thought of one of our favorite movies to watch together. "Ditto."
