Chapter Six

I bite my lip hard staring at him as the cold water runs over us both. He came into the shower still dressed and now his damp clothes cling to him. My eyes wander from his hair plastered to his head to his wet shirt sticking to his chest making me want to run my hands over him. Then I dare to look lower and feel my face blush. "Bella, we can stop or continue as you wish." I hear Edward's voice softly whisper to me. "Maybe just let me distract you from the pain?" With that I feel his hands on my face pulling me back into him kissing me soft at first then deepening as he moves inch by inch closer to me till our bodies are almost touching.

I can still feel the heat of the venom running through me and my senses seem to be changing as suddenly the water from the shower seems to almost be as if I can feel each individual drop as it hits my skin. My skin feels so sensitive that Edward's hands on my face make me shiver and then I notice we both feel the same temperature now. No more icy cold as he touches me. Does this mean that my transformation is complete? "Edward?" I push him away just a bit so I can look into his eyes but he slams back hard against the shower making me look down at my hands and gasp. "Oh god, did I do that?"

He laughs as he stares at me, "Wow, you are one powerful little lady now, yes Bella. You did that."

I stare at him and then notice the cracked wall behind him as he comes back to me kissing me again. This time it's a harder more intense demanding kiss. I sigh and then whisper to him, "Edward, I don't want to hurt you."

"Bella, you will learn how to control yourself in time. I will show you." Before I can nod to him I feel a hot rush tear through my chest making me scream then fall to my knees hard on the shower floor. It burns like a knife through my heart and I feel like I am going to pass out then I hear Edward's voice as he scoops me into his arms. "Give into it, don't fight it Bella."

"Edward!" I gasp trying hard not to scream again but the pain is so bad. Suddenly I am on my back on the bed feeling his kisses again more demanding than ever on my lips while his hands run down my arms so lightly that it makes me shiver.

"Bella, just relax and focus on me love." Just hearing him call me love makes me want to speak out but he kisses me silent. I forget all the rest, the searing pain in my chest starts to dim as I get so lost in our kisses. Then suddenly I taste his tongue cold and wet in my mouth making me gasp. He stops suddenly leaning back to look at me while pushing the hair off my face. "Bella, are you okay?"

My only answer is to pull him back to me kissing him hard this time bringing my tongue into his mouth. I close my eyes and let myself just get lost in him. My whole body seems alive; I can feel every kiss as my lips want more and more. His tongue is now entangled with mine. He tastes sweet and salty at the same time. It just makes me want more yet through all this I can still feel the venom as it takes me over completely. I gasp against Edward's as it feels like my heart is slowing down. I choke out his name feeling my eyes blacking over. I scream out in terror clutching at him trying hard not to pass out but it's stronger than I am and suddenly my world goes black. I feel like I am drowning in flames. I hear screams over and over and know that they are coming from me. My chest hurts so badly then I hear Edward, "Bella don't fight it, you need to just give in. Relax and listen to my words." I can't answer but I will myself to focus solely on his voice as he starts to sing softly. I still feel as if my heart is not beating but the darkness has engulfed me and my eyes do not want to open. As Edward's voice continues it lulls me into such a relaxed state that finally my hands unclench and I feel as if I am sleeping. After a while I hear voices but they fade into the background as I am still only focused on Edward.

"Edward what's going on?" I hear another voice as I struggle to focus on Edward when his soft singing suddenly ends.

"Alice, why are you guys back already?" I hear Edward's voice again. "I messaged you that I needed to be here alone for a while. Bella won't be up to having others around."

"Edward you might need our help, that's why we are back."

"Alice, I got this." Edward's voice takes on an irritated tone.

"But I saw..." The female voice tries to continue but Edward growls at her cutting off the rest of her sentence.

"What did you see? Oh Alice your thoughts really. And did you bother to look if she wanted it too?"

"Edward just coming off her transformation do you really think Bella will know what she wants?"

His answer is just another growl followed by angry words, "Alice take yourself and whoever else is here with you and leave now. Bella is my responsibility. You know how I feel about her; I can't and won't hurt her."

"Edward, I know that but so soon?"

"Alice please I love her and you have already seen visions that she is my mate so why are you doing this now?" Then I hear a loud whooshing sound in my ears as Edward takes in a breath, "Alice what you just thought, was that your newest vision?"

The conversation grows hushed but I can't focus on it as suddenly my eyes pop open. I groan as the light floods my eyes and I feel my heart start beating again but it's stronger as the sound pounds in my ears. My every sense seems deepened. Without moving my head I can hear what's around me for miles and I can tell that there are now four people besides Edward and I in this house. Before I can say his name Edward is at my side looking down at me. My nose twitches as I get a whiff of his scent. Without thinking I reach for him growling softly. His scent makes me suddenly feel a hot rush of thirst making my throat burn painfully.

I feel him throw a soft blanket over my still naked body as he hisses at her to leave. She protests drawing my attention to her. "Who are you? I whisper and notice my voice has changed. It has a sweet softer sound now. I scan her, she is a tiny little petite thing with short brown hair and glistening bronze eyes that seem to twinkle at me.

"Hi Bella, I'm Alice. Sorry to burst in on you two but I had a vision that I wanted to warn you about."

I sit up and feel the sheet slip down me but as I fumble for it I feel Edward sit down behind me. He reaches his arms out around me pulling it up. Then he hooks his arms around my chest as I speak. "Visions? Of what? Now I am confused."

Edward leans his head down to kiss my shoulder as he answers my question. "You remember me telling you my special power Bella? Alice's is that she sees visions of future events."

"Wow." I stare at her. "What a power, so.." I lean closer to Alice eyeing her with curiosity. "You saw a vision of me? Of my future? What did you see?"

Edward whispers to me again before Alice can answer, "her vision can change Bella, not all that she sees is set in stone."

I laugh nervously and turn to gaze at him. Gazing at him I notice how much my vision has changed, its intensified and I can see little details like the lines around his eyes as he smiles at me, the small cleft in his chin and the small flecks of different colors in his eyes. I just stare for a moment then look back at Alice still excited, "so what did you see?"
