Chapter 7- A Kiss

Edward rings with bad news. Will Alice's vision become reality?

………………………………………………………………………………………….

The phone buzzed to life, I ran to pick it up. I had missed him so much in the fourteen days he had been away.

"Edward?" I asked quickly.

"Bella, James has already left Phoenix." He sounded like he was sobbing, the pain showed in his voice. "You need to go somewhere with Alice, the tracker might already be around Forks. Stay somewhere open, where he can't attack you or find you."

"No Edward. We need to kill him once and for all." I said calmly even though a snarl was close to ripping through my teeth.

"Not yet. I've called Emmett and Rosalie they're on their way back to Forks. They're there to protect you not to help fight with you."

"He will never get past me. I'm newborn I can kill him." A snarl escaped.

"Please don't." He pleaded. "I love you." He hung up.

I stood there for a minute before I realised what I needed to do. I needed to find James. And kill him. Alice, Esme and Jasper had gone out earlier that morning to hunt. I grabbed some of my clothes from the wardrobe and ran. I knew where I was running. I draped clothes on the branches of trees on my way. James would follow my scent.

The sun shone down through the trees, leaving patch marks on the grass. I stood nervously by an old oak tree; my shadow marked an outline into the perfect sunshine. This was our meadow. I could kill James and everything would be ok. I hoped.

"Hello, Bella," An unforgettable voice said from behind, his shadow crossed mine.

"James," I snarled turning to face him. His face had changed. It was soft and gentle. He wasn't crouching to kill me he just stood there looking at me. He pushed a strand of hair behind my ear, and rested his hand on my cheek and cupped my face. "I like the new, improved Bella." He smiled confidently. I looked down at his hands but did not flinch away from them, as I would have a month ago. I looked up to his lips that were set in a confident smile. I looked up to his golden eyes.

They drew me in somehow. I found myself taking a step forward. I put my arm around his waist. He smile grew wider. I leaned in closer to him. He leaned in too. I find myself smiling as my lips met his.

This kiss was like a roller coaster. He kissed me softly at first his tongue traced my lips but suddenly his passion kicked in. Adrenaline acted as the drug that kept us together for so long. I didn't think. His hands tangled into my hair. I pulled him closer to me. No one not even Edward had kissed me like that.

He was the one to pull away. I didn't open my eyes. I wanted the kiss to last forever. It was if I had been dreaming. If I opened my eyes he would be gone. I felt his hands grab my waist and pull me into him again. The next kiss didn't last as long but was just as passionate. When we pulled away he held me in his arms and stroked my hair.

"I'm sorry, Bella." He whispered. Shock ran through my body. I stood back from him. He grabbed my hand and held it in both of his. "I shouldn't have turned you into a vampire like that."

"What?" I whispered. It was confusing, why was James apologising?

"When I first met you, I wanted to kill you." He paused. "Now I want to spend my entire life with you."
