Edward and I had been sitting in the same position, my head on his shoulder and his arm around me, for a long time. We hadn't spoken yet, we had only revelled in each others company, the feeling of holding the other close. I felt his breath on my neck and it gave me slight shivers. I suppressed them and sat up straight, looking Edward in the eye.
"Edward, how will we do this?" He frowned for a short second, after which he smiled at me.
"Well, we'll have to hold each other. We have to laugh if the other one makes a joke, we have to dance together. Smile together, and we have to kiss the other." Humour sparked in his eyes as he leaned closer, making his last words a whisper.
"You know that's not what I meant," I whispered, barely able to speak coherent as his lips got closer. He nodded slightly and pulled me closer.
"Don't worry, it'll all work out," his last words hung in the air as our lips connected.
The feeling of his lips had been a sensation I hadn't experienced in over ninety years, but now I did. My arm went around his neck, to pull him closer. The feeling of having no limits was something Edward had never felt, so it was hard for him to understand he could just kiss me, without the danger of me getting hurt.
He sighed softly as we broke apart, his eyes smouldering.
Suddenly Edward got up, leaving me confused, until I heard the music fill the room.
"May I have this dance?" He asked, as I took his hand and got up. He put his hand on my waist and I put mine on his shoulder. We started slowly moving around, dancing to the soft sound of the music.
I don't know how long we did that, but suddenly Alice and Jasper walked in, so it must have been long.
"Sorry to interrupt, but while we were out hunting, we smelled vampires that we didn't know." Edward stopped dancing and frowned. I turned around and looked at them.
"Where?" My voice was barely a whisper.
"Quite far from here, but still too close for our likings. It's obvious she's here for us, so we'll have to be on our watch. Emmett and Rosalie can arrive any moment now, but we'll have to listen and watch out for Victoria." Jasper ended with a sad sigh and he pulled Alice close to him.
"We will," Edward said, looking at me. I nodded, agreeing.
We all decided to sit down together and make a plan, but so far it wasn't really working out. We didn't know with how many they were and if there were some with a gift. Nobody said anything, so we all heard a car park in front of the house very clearly. Esme stood up and walked to the front door to greet Emmett and Rosalie. As soon as they noticed I was here, Emmett rushed towards me and hugged me, while Rosalie stood behind him, with surprise and slight disdain written on her face.
"So, you've finally gotten your wish," she sneered, walking to the couch.
"Not exactly." I dared to say, not looking at her. When I looked up, I saw she had raised one eyebrow questioningly. Before I could start retelling my story, Alice explained it in a matter of a few seconds. Rosalie's look changed a bit, knowing I didn't choose this, but she never stopped disliking me completely.
Suddenly every one got quiet as we heard some one in the woods, quite far away. The sounds were coming from more than one person and we all looked at each other, not sure what to do. Emmett was the first one to move. He got up and stormed outside, the rest of us following him. As we were running through the woods for a few seconds, the scent of vampires filled our noses and quickly it was to prominent to ignore. We even heard them talking as we got deeper in the woods.
A large clearing is the place where we eventually found them, lined up in a defending matter, all with a scowl on their face.
There weren't five vampires anymore, two more had joined them, so they had one vampire less then us, so thankfully we still outnumber them. Victoria was standing closest to us, looking at Edward with a look of hatred on her face. She jumped up to attack and the group quickly followed her example.
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter. School has begun again, so I won't update very often.
