I was surprised when my heart went into flutters when Edward said 'home'. I didn't exactly know why, but I figured it was because I knew he wasn't just talking about his home. It was ours. Funny how simple statements can do that to you.

I mumbled a reply while smiling and stared out the window for the rest of the drive, trying to take in exactly how I felt. It was strange, and probably would have given Jasper a good excuse to get out of the house.

I was happy, extremely happy, to be with Edward again. I was angry at the La Push wolves for kidnapping me. I was remorseful about some of the things I had said to Jacob. I was anxious to know if I would even get to see any of my other friends and parents again, too.

In a nutshell, I was giving myself a major headache.

We were driving up to the house when the buzzing noise started again. It was different from when we hunted. This was much more- er- low key? I suppose that is the only way to look at it. I focused this time, instead of just shoving it out of my head.

Yay! There're back! I'll have to take Bella shopping tomorrow. It'll be so much fun!

That was definitely Alice. I grinned to myself, but when I took in the meaning, I frowned.

"Will I have to go shopping?" I asked Edward in a voice too low for humans to hear.

He smiled my favorite crooked smile before saying, "You know you can't stop Alice when it comes to shopping, Bella. And besides, most of your old clothes probably won't fit you now, anyway."

"I guess so… So, I must be able to read minds if I heard that, right?"

"Yes, you must." He shook a little from the laughter he was trying to contain.

"God Edward! Get a hold on yourself!" He had laughed at me way too much lately, and I was getting sick of it.

His face became grave and his voices repentant as he said, "I'm sorry, my angel, I just can't get over the fact that you're one of us now, that's all."

I brushed my lips against his and glided out of the car. Wow, I thought, I'm not the only one with mood-swing issues now.

I hurried to catch up with Bella, just wrapping my arm around her waist as she entered the house. We had arrived back on a Sunday, and, because of the early hour, Alice would get her chance to take Bella shopping.

Yes! I can't wait! Was all that Alice thought.

I felt sorry for my Bella, but knew I couldn't protect her for all eternity from this experience. Poor Bella.

"Edward, when will I get to see Charlie?" She had turned from Alice to me.

"As soon as you're self control allows. And considering you detested blood before, maybe it will be easier for you…" I shrugged.

They left an hour later, so I was again Bella-less.

I watched as Alice and Bella left, leaving the rest of their coven behind. It was my job to follow them. I sighed, that pack of werewolves was no fun. They were so concerned about one vampire.

Me? I could care less, I really could. Seeing as they asked my people for help, they must have been desperate.

I walked farther into the shadows before running along side their car.

Oh, who is it?! Who is it?! Next chapter reveals… And the packs back, for all who wondered what has become of them. Please review, and questions are fine as well. Sorry this chapter is up late/ short, but I have problems in my hectic life right now. Anyway, hope you are enjoying the story thus far!
