This chapter is also dedicated to
Emily Swain who is an amazing friend that helped me out greatly. I
don't know what I would do without your help!! 3
A/N: Sorry it took so long writing this chapter, it was completely my fault. I promise I won't take this long with the next chapter. I hope you enjoy it...it's a bit fluffy but I hope you like it nonetheless.
AND I do not own twilight/New Moon in any way, shape, or form. If I did, I would be a very brilliant human being. Like Stephenie Meyer.
Last time: There was something Edward was hiding from me, and I knew I had to find out what that was.
Bella POV
"Edward! What is it that you are not telling me!" He looked at me innocently, as if he had no idea what I was talking about. Then, he did something I never thought he would stoop so low to do. He tried to dazzle me. His eyes bore into mine and he gently cupped his hand around my neck. Oh no he did not just go there.
"I know you're not trying to dazzle me, Edward Cullen. Because if you were, you would be in some serious trouble, buddy." I slowly backed away so his hand that had previously aquired residency around my neck dropped into his lap. He looked at me pleading, I didn't like to see him this way, but he was hiding something from me. And whatever it was, had to be bad, very bad.
"Bella...I think it is best if you did not know."
"Edward, if it's about me, don't you think I deserve to know? Please, tell me."
He sighed in defeat "It's just a vision Alice had, I don't want to scare or upset you with it."
"Honey, it takes a lot to scare me these days."
He contemplated this for a moment and took a deep unnecessary breath."Alright, then." He told me everything. Every detail of Alice's vision, every emotion he felt coursing through him at the time. All I wanted to do was wrap my arms around him and tell him everything was going to be alright. I hated seeing him in any sort of pain. After he was done, he looked up at me with a sympathetic glare.
"So, I was already changed?"
"Yes." He said solemnly.
"Hmm, I wonder how that happened?" Jake would not be happy about this. Me being turned would surly start a war. Unless I wasn't turned nearby...
"You are not concerned with the fact that the Volturi guard is going to find you, but with how you were changed?"
"If I were already changed, they are not too much of a threat to me."
Edward looked up with a shocked expression trailed across his features. Oops, maybe that was the wrong thing to say. I should probably leave out the werewolf factor for now.
"Not much of a threat! Bella, have you gone mad? The Volturi could rip your body into shreds before I even had the chance to blink. This, should not be taken lightly!" He was fuming now.
I knew Edward was right. The Volturi were ruthless. But, Edward would be there for me, as well as the rest of the Cullens. I had to believe that everything was going to be okay. I had to believe we would all get through this together. For my peace of mind, and especially Edwards.
"Edward, calm down. We have the upper hand, we know they are coming. We simply have to be a little more cautious. Plus, Alice's visions are not set in stone, things could change."
"Bella, your belief system astounds me."
"Why, thank you."
"Lets talk about something else, I don't want to think about anyone coming within a five mile radius of you."
"Okay, so what do you think my power will be?"
"Bella, honestly. Why are you so eager for damnation!"
"Because I will be damned with you, now did Alice tell you what I looked like?
"Bella, I don't think you understand! I never wanted this for you! You were supposed to live a normal human life! I wanted you to grow old, and have children. It wasn't supposed to be like this...I've ruined everything for you."
"Edward, you didn't ruin anything for me."
"If I never came along-"
"NO! Edward, stop thinking like that. What can't you just understand? Why is it so hard to accept? I want to be with you, I don't care if I would grow a third eye and have to live in a box for all of eternity, as long as I get to spend that time with you. All I want and would ever want is you. Just you."
I lifted my hand and lightly stroked his cheek, he closed his eyes and leaned into my hand. I could sense his anger calming down until it silently escaped him.
"What did you do while I was gone?" He whispered, his eyes still closed. He was trying to change the subject as to not think about future events.
I didn't want to bring back any previous emotions so I casually left out my paranoia and plan to escape 'Bond' style to his house.
"I just cooked dinner and ran up here to wait for you."
"I see." His expression suddenly turned playful as he looked at me like a cat on the prowl. His mood swings really were entirely unpredictable. They confused me at times like these.
"Edward..."
"Yes, love." He moved closer to me arching his back as if he were readying himself to pounce.
"What are you-" Suddenly, he lunged toward me, gently knocking me from my sitting position on the bed to laying me on my back with his body hovering over mine. He looked into my eyes with so much love and undying lust that I lost control over myself. I grabbed that perfect head of his and forcefully brought it down to mine. To say the least he was shocked.
Edward POV
As I sprawled myself on top of Bella, she did the last thing I would ever suspect her of. Her hand knotted itself around my hair and with all the force she could muster pulled my lips to down to hers. I was stunned. I was the one who was supposed to be in control of this hormonal situation. But, nevertheless her reaction did spark my stomach to do backflips. A feeling I loved. She would never know the power she held over me. It took all it had in me to stop before we entered the "danger zone" as she liked to call it. (A/N: Danger zone, twilight zone. Ha. I know, I'm losing it.) But, tonight was different. Tonight, I didn't want to acknowledge the danger zone, all I wanted to do was to make Bella feel as if I were a normal teenaged boy. That her boyfriend could passionately kiss her without draining her body of all her sweet blood. I needed to do this for her, and for myself. I could feel the hunger taking over my body, not the hunger that called for her blood. It was a different hunger, currently a more powerful hunger. The hunger for her body.
I felt Bella losing oxygen underneath me, gasping for air. I gently released her as her head dropped back to the bed.
"Wow"
"Wow does not even begin to cover it."
"What happened to your limitations? Not that I mind. Believe me, I don't mind at all." At this comment her cheeks became my own personal mural, filled with different shades pinks and reds. Her blush, her wit, her ability to make me smile when I was in the worst of moods, everything about her drew me in. I was so madly in love with her, how could I have ever left this angel that sits in front of my eyes? That would never happen again, and I wouldn't let the Volturi get to her. Danger could not separate us, fate could not restrain us, we were bound together with so much love that nothing would ever stand in our way. I wouldn't let it. Vision or no vision, we would be together. For all of eternity. Besides, Bella was right, the future is not set in stone.
"I wanted to make you happy, to act like a normal boyfriend would. Not having to pull away from you when in reality I'm yearning to hold you closer to me. I don't want there to be many boundaries. Of course there will be a few..."
If possible her cheeks grew even more red with blood as an embarrassed smile crept across her face.
"Edward, I don't want to push you. I want you to know I am perfectly content with what we already have in our physical...relationship." It was so amusing when ever we would discuss personal matters. She continued looking down at the ground, red as a tomato.
I couldn't help but laugh. I tried to hold it in as best as I could but a small chuckle escaped my lips.
She looked up at me then.
"What are you laughing about?"
"Im sorry, love. It's just so funny when you get embarrassed." Another low chuckle voiced itself.
"Edward!"
"Im sorry, I'm sorry. It's not my fault you are astoundingly adorable, as to your other statement, I'm not only breaking our boundaries for you. I'm tired of having to push you away."
She smiled up at me, I had obviously made her happy. She lay her head on my chest and fell into a deep slumber. To think, soon she wouldn't be able to sleep, or dream. What I would do to dream. To experience such a relief. To free myself from this world for only a few hours, to be in my own little safe haven, where it was just me and my own thoughts. Of course, the star of my dreams would be Bella. Us together, without danger or worry. How much I craved for just one dream...
It was nine o'clock when she awoke. She moved around her arms and legs in a stretching motion when her arm hit me straight in the nose.
"Oh! Edward I'm so sorry!"
"It's alright, Bella. I didn't even feel it."
"Really? Not at all?"
I laughed at this. "Well, I guess you could compare it to being hit in the nose with a piece of paper, or a feather."
"Huh. Interesting."
Her eyebrow furrowed as if she was thinking long and hard about what I had just told her.
"What's the matter?"
"Hmm...Oh, nothing. I think I just realized how breakable I really am to you."
"It's about time you noticed." I grinned at her and she simply slapped my arm playfully. I could tell she was wondering if I felt that slap as well.
"Nope, hardly felt that one either." I beamed.
She let out a low giggle and snuggled into my chest.
"Bella?"
"Yes."
"Would you like to go to my house today?"
"Sure. I wanted to talk to Alice about something anyway."
"About what?"
"Oh, it's a surprise." I felt her lips form into a large grin against my chest.
Wait, was that not supposed to be my line?
"A surprise, huh?"
"Yep, it is about time the roles were reversed."
I didn't want to dazzle it out of her this moment, not after she became angry last night because of it. No, I would wait until the perfect moment to find out what she was up to. And I would find out.
"Alright, well we better get a move on."
"You're not going to press me for more information?"
She knew me far too well.
"Nope." I grinned like a madman.
"Mmkay." She eyed me suspiciously, she knew I wouldn't let it go this easily. But, she didn't question me any more about it. She simply went to take her human moment. After she was finished I made her breakfast and led her to my car.
Bella POV
Edward started the car racing down the street at 120 miles per hour. His driving still frightened me immensely. He noticed my expression and as usual entwined my hand in his. He looked over at me and smiled that breathtaking smile of his as my heart nearly fell to the floor.
It all happened so quickly. As if the blink of an eye would be too slow to catch it. There was a car coming toward us, spinning out of control. I closed my eyes tightly, squeezing Edward's hand until my knuckles turn white.
It was then that I felt it. Blood was escaping every inch of my body, oozing out of my delicate skin. There was a loud ringing noise enveloping my ears, stinging my senses . I tried opening my eyes with no avail. I was too deep in the water. I pushed myself toward the surface, gasping to escape the undying waters. I felt the liquid enter my lungs as I began to drown. With all of my strength I whispered the only words I have ever known to be undoubtedly true.
"Edward...I love you."
Then, I was pulled under. With no hope of returning.
A/N: I know some of you are saying, Edward has impeccable senses, he would never crash. This will be explained later on. Great senses or not, there was nothing he could do.
REVIEW IF YOU WANT BELLA TO LIVE! hehe
No, seriously. Review. Please.
