Hello, Everyone

Chapter 7 here! I hope you enjoy it. I fixed chapter four from all the confusion. Thank you guys for pointing it out. I got a little carried away with my copy and pasting. Hahah.

Review review review!!

Completely catatonic, I awake in a black space. Nothing around me, nothing near me. I can feel the cold chill to my breath as my chest heaves up and down and I sit up. I move, unsure of where I am, looking for any sign of life. Like a light was switched on, I could see a spotlight ahead of me. I run, reaching the edge of the white light and Alice appears and begins to wrestle with the now present wolf that soars through the air out of nothingness at her. As another wolf flies through the air, taking down the outnumbered pixie her eyes catch mine as she looks at me in pain before closing them one last time as her small frame is torn in two.

ALICE, I scream. Nothing. No words, no movement. I'm stuck as the world around me, like a platform begins to spin. I see Carlisle and Esme, surrounded by wolves on all sides, standing back to back whispering goodbyes. Wolves move slowly then fast, attacking their prey and dismembering it. I sob as the room spins again and the light I see is now focused on Jasper as he tries to run to Alice's body before a wolf takes him down. I scream as the room spins faster, showing me Rosalie as she sobs over Emmett's still body and a pack of wolves surround them.

"YOU!" She screamed, staring at me with cold, fiery eyes, "You did this to my family!" I tried to apologize, tried to say anything, but nothing came out as the wolves once again began to encircle her. And finally, the room span slowly, showing me an image that I hated so much.

Edward stood before me, the same cold and distant eyes that haunt me from the moment he left after my birthday.

"You killed my entire family," He seethed, "You should have let me go. It should have been you." I sobbed as the russet wolf I knew to be Jake suddenly appeared, running pointedly to a statuesque Edward, tackling him and sending him flying to the ground. I begged him to stop, but once again I remained voiceless. The wolf stared at me with humored eyes, grabbing the still body of my angel and dismembering his head from his body, keeping eye contact as he did so.

"No!" I screamed, sitting straight up in a bed I didn't recognize. The room was dark as I woke up in a large, expensive feeling bed with down pillows and satin covers surrounding me. Sweat covered my body as my heart raced and my breathing slowed to a normal pace.

My body was still sore and my neck and face tender as I moved to stretch in the bed. I sat up, hissing out of discomfort as I looked around the room, letting my eyes adjust to the darkness. The sun shone through the dark and heavy curtains, only letting a crack of light into the room.

"Edward?" I asked warily, unsure of where I was and if I was here alone. Had he left because I told him I didn't love him in that letter? Or had he left because he knew that I was right in leaving in the first place?

I felt my heart race as I tried to move quickly to find the end of the expensive linins. I felt tears blur my vision, hindering my escape. The door opened and before I could see who it was I felt the cold, strong arms around me, embracing me as I felt tears fall down my face.

"Bella, what is it?" He asked as he rocked me gently.

"Bad dream," I murmured.

"It was just a dream, love," He whispered. I nodded into his chest, pulling away and drying my eyes before Edward unwrapped the covers from me. Offering a hand to me, Edward helped me out of the oversized bed and walked me to the bathroom, promising to wait for me.

I nodded as I entered the exquisite white, marble bathroom. The bathtub stood alone in the center of the room and ottomans adorned the walls. I walked over to the shower, looking at the intricate plumbing system, trying to figure out how to work the faucet. After pulling and twisting anything I could see, a simple button was glowing a dull red. I pressed the button, giving in to my lack of devices as the shower turned on and the button glowed green. I sighed as I looked over at the designer towels next to the designer sweats Alice had brought me.

After the warm water, and the ache in my muscles was released by the steam and the jets around the shower, I stepped out, feeling almost refreshed. I quickly dressed and got somewhat decent and left the bathroom to find a waiting Edward.

"You didn't actually have to wait right here," I laughed, noticing he hadn't moved from the spot.

"Oh, but I did," He joked. I smiled as he grabbed my hand, pulling me out of the door into a bigger, more luxurious living room. The family sat, seemingly engaged in their own activities as I looked around at the furniture.

"Where are we anyway?" I asked in awe as the room sparkled. "Do you have a house in South Dakota I'm unaware of?" Edward laughed as he pulled me to a couch.

"While we do own a number of houses that you have not been debriefed on," Edward said almost jokingly, "this is not one of them. This is the presidential suite of a local hotel." I gasped, my jaw falling open.

"You might wanna close your mouth, Squirt," Emmett joked from the couch, not even looking away from the video game on the screen. "That's a great way to catch flies." He laughed as he stayed engrossed in the game. I shut my mouth and stared at Edward.

"The presidential suite?" I said still slightly in shock.

"Bella, please don't worry about it," Carlisle said, looking up from his book and smiling sweetly. "We needed some extra room to spread out anyway." I nodded slowly as Edward kissed my cheek, holding me around my waist, leading me to an empty loveseat next to Esme and Carlisle's couch.

Alice and Rose looked up from their magazines, Alice smiling widely, and Rosalie just staring as if she were trying to figure me out. I looked smiled awkwardly and looked down at the floor. Edward grabbed my hand from my knee and held it tenderly in his.

I saw Esme moving towards me with a silver tray, adorned with expensive and delicious food. My stomach growled at the thought as she giggled.

"Room Service?" I asked still in shock that they were spending so much money. Edward rolled his eyes, taking the tray from his mother and placing it in my lap. I began gorging away and Esme smiled, satisfied.

"Hungry?" Edward asked, clearly amused. I nodded with my mouth full of bread and grabbed the juice on the tray, taking a drink and swallowing the large amount of bread.

"All I've had are bags of chips and hospital food since I left Forks," I admitted. Esme looked at me discouragingly and I blushed.

"How long have I been asleep?" I asked between bites of pasta.

"Well, the first time," Edward said casually as I felt my eyes widen. How many times had I woken up and gone back to sleep? "You slept about six hours. You woke up and you were in a bit of pain so Carlisle gave you some of your medicines and you fell back asleep pretty easily."

"And the second time?" I asked unsure if I wanted the answer or not.

"A little bit longer," He said evasively.

"Edward," I whined, now needing to know the answer.

"What was the last count?" Emmett said loudly from the couch, still intently watching the screen. "Fourteen hours?" I choked as I took a swig of juice, causing Edward to take the tray from my lap allowing me to cough freely.

"So we've been here for a full day? Not to mention the time I was in the hospital?" I started to panic as I took another drink and quickly got up from the couch. Edward placed the tray on a table and watched me as I began to pace.

"God, I'm so stupid," I muttered under my breath pacing, chewing on my pinky nail as I stared at nothing in particular.

"Bella, what is it?" Edward asked tentatively.

"You guys have to leave," I mumbled. "No, wait, you stay. I'll leave. I'll go back to Forks. You guys will get along better if you go somewhere else. I can keep the pack at bay. I probably led them right to you." I said, slapping my hand into my face. The room was silent as even Emmett's game was completely silent.

"You don't have a car," Alice reminded me happily.

"Then… I'll… take a bus." I tried to reason as Edward scoffed.

"I can't risk your entire family for me," I whined as I plopped down on the loveseat again and put my head in my hands.

"Bella, don't be silly," Esme said softly, "The family isn't in its entirety without you in the first place." I sighed giving up.

"And when you're all dead there won't be a family at all," I muttered under my breath.

"The wolves don't even stand a chance," Emmett laughed from the couch.

"There are more of them," I stated plainly. "Apparently enough to make it effortless."

"We can take 'em," Emmett said thrilled.

"You're not fighting them," I said completely positive I was right. Emmett pouted and stared at me angrily.

"So basically we run?" Emmett asked as his mouth twisted as if the words were soured.

"Either you all run, or you all die. There are no other options," I said angrily as I stood up slowly. "I need to take a walk," I muttered rubbing my hands on the side of my head.

"Would you like some company?" Edward asked quietly. I nodded as we walked out of the room. His hand remained tightly by his side, careful not to take mine.

"You have to go soon, they'll find you." I mumbled plainly as I was careful not to look at him as he stopped dead in the hallway we walked down. I stopped a few feet in front of him and turned in his direction, still staring at the floor, knowing that if I looked at his perfect face I would lose all conviction and ask him to stay with me.

"Bella, do you want me to leave?" Edward asked completely dejected. My head shot up in shock, never imagining he would have to ask that question.

"Edward, I don't ever want to spend a second away from you, but-"

"Then marry me," Edward said strongly. "Marry me and we will fix this together."

"I want to, but we can't fix this!" I cried as I started to feel the tears in my eyes. "Edward, there is nothing we can fix, if we get married YOU die. I can't put you at risk like that." He walked slowly to my side and placed both hands on my face, holding it steady.

"Isabella, I would die away from you, with or without the pack. If we're together, we will fight this, fight it together, no matter what that means." His voice was but a whisper as his face grew closer and to me.

"But, I…" I whispered as I tried to come up with some argument.

"Look at me right now and tell me to leave," He whispered.

"I can't," I sighed as he smiled.

"Then marry me, Bella," He begged, his face only centimeters from mine.

"Okay," I agreed, never being so sure as I felt his cold breath swirl on my cheek. He smiled as he pulled my face closer to his, kissing me passionately as the cold touch on my skin sent electricity through me. My knees fell weak as he pressed me against the wall of the hallway, kissing me fiercely as my hands went from my side and snaked between us around his neck, pulling him closer and then running my hands through his already disheveled hair. He pulled away, allowing me to breathe and he kissed my neck and lifted his head to watch me. I smiled as I caught my breath.

"I love you," I said breathily. He laughed as he kissed my cheek and took my hand in his as we walked back to the suite.

"Oh," Edward laughed as we stopped outside the suite. "Only you could make me forget…" I stared at him as he let go of my hand and kneeled on one knee.

"Let me do this right," He said softly.

"Isabella, will you marry me?" He asked sincerely as he reached into his shirt pocket and pulled out my ring on the necklace. He removed it from the chain and held it as if he waited to put it on my hand.

"Yes," I giggled as he placed the ring on my finger and picked me up happily and carried me into the suite. The family smiled as we walked in and Edward placed me in his lap on the seat we had occupied before. And for the first time, I felt some light of hope that we could fight this together.
