Chapter 6 Ready to Die
It had been two days since Jane's visit. All of the Cullens were nervous. So was I, but not about the same thing. I was worried about the treaty. Edward couldn't bite me while we were still in Forks. But we hadn't talked about that yet.
"Bella?" Edward was watching me. I looked up at him. "Are you ready?"
"Of course I am!" I exclaimed. But then I remembered what I had just been thinking about. Edward must've noticed my sudden change in expression.
"What's wrong? We don't have to go through with this you know." I gasped.
"Edward! Do you really think that after all we've been through I wouldn't want to go through with this?" I shook my finger at him, but he just grabbed it and smiled.
"Then what are you worried about?" I hadn't planned on telling him, he probably already had something planned, but I couldn't help it. His eyes made me feel like I couldn't hide anything, so I had to tell.
"Edward! How could you have forgotten? You can't change me here. The treaty…" I stopped my lips from moving any further. Why did I let his eyes take control of me? He wrapped my hands in his and interrupted my thoughts.
"Forget about it? Bella, darling, we've been living here for centuries now. You really thought I would forget about something like that?" His smile told me that he was really enjoying my human weaknesses. I nodded my head.
"We've already accounted for that. Actually, it was the easiest thing to deal with. We're going on…vacation for a little while. Then the treaty is still valid and we don't have a war on our hands."
"Where are we going?" I asked him. I was itching with curiosity. It was even present in my voice. I hated surprises. Edward just smiled.
"Wouldn't you like to know." I growled at him, but my growl seemed more human than vampire. For obvious reasons.
He pulled me into his arms and kissed my jaw; trailing his lips down to the base of my neck. His lips felt so,…incredible on my skin. He let them rest there for a moment. I could've stayed there in his arms forever.
His lips moved on to my cheek as he whispered, "Are you ready to go die?" I nodded my head slowly, I didn't want him to pull away. But he did anyways. He pulled me gently towards the door.
"We need to ask Charlie's permission first. And then you'll need some clothes, though I doubt they'll fit you once you're fully changed."
"What exactly are we telling Charlie?" I asked. Maybe Edward would slip and tell me where we were really going.
"He will think that we're going camping. And a clue for you is that we partially will be in the camping environment." So maybe we were going somewhere close. Or somewhere really far away. That clue didn't really help me much.
A moment later we were sitting in Edward's shiny Volvo in my driveway. I hadn't even realized that we'd left.
"Well," Edward interrupted my thoughts again, "Let's go get you ready to die."
Well that was fun. I was originally going to include Bella's changing, but then it would've been way too long. Anyways, please review! I love hearing what you guys think about my crazy imagination:) Until next time, HazelEyedHottie
