Chapter 7

Bella's POV

I sealed my letter in an envelope and put the Cullens mailbox number on it. I then realized that I didn't know how to call for Alann. Thankfully, I didn't need to. He appeared in the doorway.

"I have my letter." I told him.

He held out his hand for it. I handed it to him. I just hoped he actually sent it and wouldn't read it. I was starting to get really scared of this vampire.

"Your clothes are in that dresser." he said.

"What, did you take some from my room?" I asked, puzzled.

"No. I bought what I want you to wear. For now, you just live here. Feel free to roam around. If I need anything, I will call for you." he said with a smirk.

He left the room. I was curious as to what kind of clothes he wanted me to wear. And nervous. I went over to the dresser and opened it. I cursed under my breath.

Inside was tank-tops. He had a selection of shorts and thigh-length skirts. I'd stick with the shorts because I really don't like skirts. He had bought these scanty, lacy bras and other undergarments. I was embarrassed that a man had bought my underclothes.

I walked over to the bureau and looked in the little drawers. There were some hairbrushes, combs, hair ties, hairsprays, and a lot of other crap I'd never use it pained me because the supplies made me think of Alice. In the bathroom, there were a lot of soft towels and washcloths. My favorite strawberry shampoo and coconut conditioner. Cucumber melon body wash with a sponge. There were different medicines behind the mirror.

Alann was waiting for me back in the room. I didn't know what he wanted but he smiling. It couldn't be too bad.

"When your done, you can go outside and explore. I'll be staying in here, so just don't go past the gates."

"Okay." I said glumly, still thinking off Alice and Edward.

He smiled again and left the room. I picked out a pair of white shorts with a green tank.. In a chest at the end of the bed, I found a pair of yellow flip flops. They had little, plastic flowers on the them. I stepped in the hallway for the first time.. It was hot. I'm guessing he had the other room conditioned.

You could feel the heat from outside coming in the house. There was a staircase at the end of the hallway. I walked down into what looked to be a living room. It had black couches, a screen built into the wall, art, and other little accessories.

In the back of the hose, there was a few benches and plants. The ornate door was big and made of maple wood. I opened it and stepped into the heat. It was not as hot as it looked.

This was my weather.

Edward POV

We were in Tuscan, Arizona. The only problem was how to find Bella. We knew she had to be at that address. It was inevitable. Bound to happen. So Emmett, Jasper, and I set off to look for it. But first, we needed to hunt.

We found a small wildlife reserve in the next city. Emmett ran one way, Jasper the other. I ran straight down the middle. I got hit with the strong smell of mountain lion.

There were two coming up. One had the scent of impending death. The other was healthy.I took out the dying one first. The blood flowed easily down my throat. Now the live one.

Enraged by its mate's death, it lunged at me. It tried to find purchase on my throat but failed. I quickly maneuvered and snapped its neck. I sunk my teeth into its neck and drank my fill. When finished, I heard Emmett and Jasper run up behind me.

"Edward!" Jasper yelled.

"We found the house. We were just walking, well running, and found it. Her scent is pungent, so she has to be there." Emmett rambled.

"Okay, lets go." I ordered.

So we took off. When we arrived, I had to admit. The house was amazing. It had a huge white door. There was a field of wild flowers, huge windows. I felt Jasper elbow me in the side.

"What?" I asked.

He merely pointed near the back. I looked over just in time to see Bella walk out a back door.

Bella's POV

I reveled in the warmth around me. I kicked off my flip flops to feel the ground underneath my feet. It was dry, just like Arizona. For all I know, that's where I was. I looked around myself. Everything was bright and beautiful.

The house was beautiful. It was huge and white. The yard had perfect green grass. Definitely chemically induced. There was a field of wild flowers. I headed to those, feeling the grass tickling my feet.

As I entered the field, I was hit with the many memories of Edward and I in our meadow. I couldn't help it. I collapsed in on myself and started crying. I stopped when I heard a scuffling near me.

If it was a person, they didn't come out. I still had tears pouring from my eyes. Suddenly, I felt a presence behind me. I turned and, unfortunately, there stood Alann.

"What's wrong little flower?" he asked, wiping a tear from my cheek.

"Little flower?" I snorted " Wow. Can we go back?"

"Sure." he put his hand on my shoulder and guided me back to the house.

I went straight upstairs and cried myself to sleep.
