A/N: Okay this chapter is dedicated to BloodWhiteWolf for answering my plea for help and giving me all the information I needed. If it weren't for her, this chapter would've been a hell of a lot harder to write. I'm sorry it took so long to get up anyways. Hope you enjoy!

When we got off the plane in Heathrow Airport, Bella was very tired, having fallen asleep in her seat. She was dragging her feet along the ground with her backpack, slung across her shoulder and her head was down, gaze focused on her feet. I sighed and picked her picked her, slinging her across my back. Bella breathed out a,
"Thanks" as she secured herself on my back and pressed her face into my neck, quickly falling asleep again. When we reached the Heathrow Express train, it was just about to leave. We quickly slipped on and paid the fare. I searched for two empty seats and sat Bella down in one before sitting next to her. 15 minutes later we arrived at Paddington Station. I shook Bella awake, she looked up at me groggily.
"Bella, where do we go now?" I asked quietly, waiting for everyone to hop off before us so we wouldn't be jostled and pushed about. She pulled her backpack off and dug around inside before pulling out 8 train tickets. She squinted at them before shaking her head and stuffing them back in and rooting around again. She pulled out 8 different train tickets and shoved them towards me. I glanced at them ... then blinked. I looked up just as Bella was slinging her bag back on her back.
"Bella ..." I said slowly, "These tickets say the train leaves in 5 minutes." Bella's head snapped up. My words had woken her up all right. She glanced at her watch then,
"Shit. Let's go." She grabbed my hand pulled me up pushed past the last few people getting off the train. Me and my family quickly followed. We got to the train with a minute to spare. Bella gave our tickets to the man at the door and he pointed us down the hall. We lugged our bags down the hall till we came to two empty compartments across from each other. Bella opened one door and told us,
"There's only room for four in each so Carlisle and Esme," she pointed to the opposite compartment, showing very clearly that she was still angry at Carlisle even though we knew it wouldn't last that much longer, "and Rosalie and Emmet" she said still pointing to the same compartment. I shrugged at Emmet who was pouting despite the fact that he was only being put there because of Rosalie.
Bella went into her compartment sat down at the window. I caught Alice's eye before walking in after her and sitting down next to her. I slung my arm around her and she leaned back into me. I could feel her amazing heat falling over me, wave by wave. Overwhelming me, just like her scent. I bent my head and kissed the top of her head gently.
"So, we're going to Saunderton?" I asked casually. Bella threw her head back and laughed. I watched her, smiling till she quietened down and replied,
"No. We still have another train after this to catch and then a bit of a drive. You probably won't even get it when we arrive." I frowned. How would we not get where we were when we got there. I sighed as I decided to just let it go.

50 minutes later the train pulled in at Saunderton and we all piled out and waited for the next train to arrive. It was still fairly early in the morning, about 6:50, so there wasn't that many people around yet. We all sat down at the small cafe and waited while Bella purchased some breakfast; a chocolate chip muffin and a hot chocolate. She sat down and handed me the tickets for the next train. I groaned, it got here in half an hour, at 7:25. I told everyone else and pulled Bella onto my lap. She shifted and laid her head on my shoulder again.
Edward. Do you have any idea at all where we're going? I feel like we're being lead on a wild goose chase. No offense to Bella of course.Carlisle asked me through my mind.
"No. I have no idea and Carlisle, there's obviously no direct line to wherever she's taking us. So let's just trust her okay?" I murmured at vampire speed so Bella wouldn't hear me. 5 minutes later Bella's breakfast arrived and she slipped back off my lap so she could eat. Another 25 minutes past before we saw our train pull up and we quickly got up and boarded. Once again we had two separate compartments and we went into them in the same groups as before. Bella got out a book this time and settled down to read it. I got a glimpse of the cover and burst out laughing. Jasper and Alice turned to me and Bella turned red. Guessing what I was laughed at.
"Seriously, you stole Aidian's copy of Wuthering Heights again?" this renewed my bout of laughing and Bella slapped my arm with the book. It didn't hurt of course but I did lean away from her and continue to laugh.
"Don't laugh. Mine's falling apart, that's not my fault!" Bella exclaimed still blushing red. When I calmed down I sat back over close to Bella and pulled her into me again.
"I'm sorry. I love you." I reminded her. She smiled and continued reading. The rest of the 5 hours passed in silence. Apart from the occasion whispered words between Alice and Jasper and my far and in between comments on the plotline of her book. Like when the characters did something that made no sense to me. Okay so maybe my comments were slightly more frequent.
A/N: Yes I know. I'm a tease but I swear, the next chapter is longer and reveals all.
