Bella's POV

Time passed & everything was great. Edward hung out with Caleb and the boys more often, he was less stressed. He even did a few pranks with Reid, which was wired. Alice, Sarah, Rose, and Kate go along with each other. They always ganged up on me to try and get me to go shopping. Esme loved hanging out with mom, they got along great. Carlisle loved working here as a doctor. Emmett and Jasper were always up to trouble with Ty and Reid. The only level head ones were Caleb, Edward and me. We always had to get them out of trouble. Pogue finally showed me how to ride a motorcycle, he even bought me a Ducati, it was purple. Edward wouldn't let me use it though, unless I was with Pogue or him, because he was scared I would get hurt. I was happy with life, everything was perfect; I had my mom back, my brother, my three best friends, my new best friends the Cullen's, my boyfriend, and I was living in my hometown. But there was something up, I never stopped getting the feeling I was being watched.

Then I discovered something, in The Book of Damnation. It was like any other day, but I got the strange urge to visit the colony house and go to our covenant. I was alone, Edward was with his family hunting and if he knew I was here alone he'd give me a long lecture of being in danger. I read the book from the first page to the last, but something caught my eye. On the front of the back cover, on the right corner, it was pealed off. It looked like it was covering something, so I carefully pulled it off. What I found was either a good thing or bad, but it was a total shocker, one that I couldn't share with my brother's. But I had too. I just didn't know when.

It is the destiny of the first daughter of Ipswich to rise, or fall on her ascendance. Great evil will rise, stronger then the first time. One will win and the other fall. If evil wins, the earth is doomed, darkness will cover each corner, and there will be no hope. If the daughter wins life will go on, people will have faith. But to win comes with one consequence for the daughter only…death. To win would mean she was chosen for this death. The power will see's to exist on the daughters body. Once the power goes, the life goes.

What am I suppose to tell Caleb, that I'm going to die if I win, or I'm going to die if I fail. Either way, I'm a goner. I'm not scared, I'd gladly give up my life to save those I love. I'd take it with out regrets, but Edward wouldn't take it so easy, neither will Caleb or mom. I sighed. I covered up the book making sure the boys wouldn't find it. I had 2 months 3 weeks left, and I had to make the most of it. Not for me, but for them. I put the book away in it's rightful place and went back home, before Edward came home.

"Bella where have you been?" Caleb asked. I was getting out my car when I saw Caleb getting out of his.

"Out, Caleb relax."

"Bella your hiding something, I can feel it."

"No, I haven't, I think you've been hanging out with Edward to much." I laughed and walked in to my house, Caleb followed.

"Bella, look me in the eyes and tell me your not lying." I gulped and turned slowly to meet his gaze.

"Caleb, I'm fine. There's nothing going on." yet.

"You know you can tell me anything right." I kissed his cheek.

"Of course Caleb." he smiled and nodded.

"We're going to Nicky's tonight, are you and Edward going?"

"No not tonight, I just want to stay home."

"You sure? Everyone else is going. Alice says she see's Aaron getting punked again." I laughed.

"Caleb, when does he not get punked?" he laughed.

"Okay, well if you change your mind we'll be there until midnight."

"Alright Caleb."

"I'll see you later. I have to go pick up Sarah." he had that twinkle in his eyes, the one that I see in Edward.

"So when are you going to pop the question?" I asked. He looked at me in shock.

"What?" he asked.

"Come on Caleb, do you really think that your going to be boyfriend and girlfriend forever. You've been together for what 2 years and some months. Caleb just ask her. I know you want to." he was dumbfound, shocked, surprised, and happy.

"Bella, would you help me?"

"Of course I would big brother." I threw my arms around his neck and he swung us around.

"I have to go, but we'll talk tomorrow okay." He said.

"Alright. Come over early so we can discuss." he nodded and kissed my forehead before he left. I walked up the stairs and into the shower. I let the warmth of the water relax my muscles. There was something I wanted, something I needed before my birthday. I needed to give myself up to Edward, completely.

After getting out the shower, I wrapped the towel around my body and walked over to the closet. I heard footsteps behind me and saw Edward standing there.

"Hey, when did you get here?" I asked.

"Just a few minutes ago. Love you seem tense, you okay." I gave him a weak smile but nodded. I looked for something to put on and just grabbed some shorts and a v neck. After getting changed I walked to the bedroom to find Edward laying there reading a book. I crawled up on his lap and straddled his hips.

"Edward. There's something I want to try." I said looking at him with a blush creeping on my cheeks.

"What is it Bella?" he asked. He put his book down and had his hands on my cheek.

"Edward, make love to me." I asked a bit shy.

"Love, you know I want to but the danger.""You know you can't hurt me." I told him looking away from his eyes. The feeling of rejection began to creep up on me.

"But what if I did, I can't forgive myself for that." I got off his lap and just laid on bed with my eyes closed.

"Bella look at me." I didn't. "Love please open your eyes." I hesitated but complied.

"There's nothing in this world that I would love more then to share this experience with you but I can't risk your safety.""Edward, is this really about my safety?"

"Of course it is Bella."

"What's stopping you then? You know I'm not as breakable as others. Why can't we just try?"

"Is that really what you want?""Yes Edward. I want to show you what I can't with words. I want know every part of your body. I want you to claim me the only way you haven't yet." he gave me a sweet smile.

"Love, we can try, but you have to promise you'll tell me if I hurt you." I nodded only looking into his eyes. I felt him place his hands on my hips and hover over me. He kissed my lips softly, with only love reflecting on this one kiss. But then it got needy and more passionate with lust. I locked my legs around his waist and pulled him closer, only receiving a moan into my mouth. I traced his muscles and slipped my hands up his shirt pulling it off in one swift movement. I kissed his shoulders, working up my way up his neck to his lips. I felt him shiver from my touch, I loved that I could make him respond this way. I felt him play with the hem of my shirt, and as quick as a heart beat it was off somewhere on the floor. I smiled at his quickness and brought his lips to mine. I looked deep into his eyes and he looked right into mine.

"I love you Bella."

"I love you too. Forever."

Edward's POV

How can life get better then this. I have an angel a sleep on top of me, her head resting on my chest, her hand intertwined with mine, our legs tangled up together with the sheets twist all over our bodies. Life was great. I kissed Bella's forehead and pulled her closer to my body. I felt the same feeling I did the first time I touched her, a spark flowing threw us. It was hard to not take her all over again, but she was sleeping, so I couldn't do that. Yet. I felt her squirm a bit and then I saw a panic look on her face. She looked scared and sad.

"Chase leave them alone." I heard her whisper. She was dreaming of him.

"We both now one of us will die." what? Die? What was she talking about.

"I'd gladly give up my life for them." No. whose them. Why was she giving up her life. This was confusing me.

"If I go down, you go down with me." She whispered before she stopped talking. She feel into a more comfortable sleep. I had to talk to Caleb, he had to know something. I slowly laid Bella on the bed and put on my boxers. I left the room with my cell phone in hand and dialed Caleb's number, I was sure he was asleep, after all it was 3 in the morning. I'm sure he wouldn't mind though, this is his sister were talking about. And I needed answers.

"Hello." He said through a yawn.

"Hey man. Look I'm sorry to wake you up but I'm a bit paranoid with Bella right now. She was sleep talking."

"What? What did she say?" he was fully awake now.

"First she said 'leave them alone chase'. After a few minutes she said 'we both now one of us is going to die]'. Then she said 'I'd gladly give my life for them'. And the last thing she said before she feel back asleep was if 'I go down, you go down with me.' "

"What was her facial expression?"

"She looked panicked, scared, and sad."

"I don't know, I mean we knew there was a chance that Chase was still alive and after me. But how did he find out about Bella."

"Is it possible that he might have heard it from someone around the town?""Yeah, maybe. But why would he want Bella dead?"

"I don't know.""Look. I'll go over and talk to her when she wakes up. Right now, I think I'm going over to the colony house and look up spells for dreamless sleep. If it's Chase doing this, this isn't just a dream, this could be bad. Edward if you see any bruises or cuts on her body, anything that you didn't do, tell me. Chase could have found a way to make things physical even in dreams. Keep an eye on her for me will you."

"With my life. And you know that.""I know. And I'm glad she has you. I'll talk to you in a while.""Alright thanks man." I hung up the phone and went up to our room. I carefully looked over her body and found nothing. I sighed and just laid her on me, keeping her close. Maybe I was just being paranoid.

…a few hours later…

My phone rang while Bella was in the shower. I grabbed it quickly.

"Hey Edward. I found a spell but we need to do it while she's sleeping. Should we tell her?""No, I think it would be a bad idea. She would only worry more and tell us that she can handle it herself. You know she doesn't like feeling helpless.""Yeah your right. Okay well all of the boys will come over tonight and we'll cast the spell. It will be stronger if we all participate.""Alright then. I have to go, she's getting out the shower now. We'll probably see you later…You know what, how about you guys sleep over. All of us.""That's not a bad idea. Alright. You run it by Alice and the others I'll tell the guys and girls.""Okay. Bye kid." I heard him laugh at my comment and hung up. I smiled when I saw Bella walk out the shower with only a towel, this wasn't good.

"Hey I talked to your brother, were having a sleepover. Everyone's coming." I told her.

"Okay. How are the sleeping arrangements going to work?" she asked.

"Well, you know Emmett, Alice, Rose, and Jasper can't sleep so we'll go hunting for a while. I think they need it anyways. I'm sure your brother will want to stay with Sarah, so they can share the room in the bottom. Pogue and Kate can have the one next to them. Reid or Tyler can have the one up stairs or down. And there's 1 extra room in case someone wants privacy." I said knowing Emmett to well.

"Sounds good." She kissed my cheek and walked away to the closet. I dialed Alice's number.

"Yah we're a go." she said before I even heard the phone ring. I laughed.

"You could at least let me ask. Okay well then be here around 7."

"Why so late? Were also going to Nicky's. Caleb should be going over early to talk to Bella, he'll ask you and you of course will say yes." I laughed again.

"Okay Alice bye." I said trying to get rid of her now. I saw Bella come out the closet and into my arms. I embraced her and kissed her forehead.

"Were also going to Nicky's. Please for my sake, try not to prank Aaron to much." she sighed.

"But Edward, it's fun." she whined like I baby who couldn't get candy.

"Bella please."

"Fine. But your making it up to me." she said with a little twinkle in her eye and a smirk. I kissed her neck.

"I most definitely will make it up to you." I said seductively against her skin, making her shiver. I pulled her out the room and towards the kitchen.

"Come on love, we need to feed you."

"Stupid human needs." she muttered under her breath only making me laughed.

"Love, they'll be enough time for that there's always tomorrow and the next day, and the next day and the next day…" she laughed.

"Your very right Mr. Cullen."

"Oh are we playing roles now Ms. Danvers." I asked mischievously knowing she would blush. I was right she did blush.

"Come on slick." She grabbed my hand and pulled me down the stairs. I made her breakfast quickly.

"Oh Caleb should be here early, he wants to plan a way to ask Sarah to marry him." she smirked.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm happy for them. He deserves her." I leaned over the counter and kissed her lips a chaste kiss.

"Your selfless love."

"I guess." After her breakfast, we both sat in the living room and watch a movie. It was around 12 when the door rang. Bella of course ran over to the door, almost tripping twice but catching herself.

"Hi big brother." I heard her say excitedly.

"Come on, we need to plan." Bella said. I could practically see her drag him in, and then I saw her actually dragging him in and pushing him against the couch across. She took out a paper and pen and began to scribble.

"So how was your morning?" she asked and took a seat on my lap.

"It was fine.""What did you do?" she asked looking up from the notebook.

"Nothing just did some studying in the colony house."

"Why?" she asked quickly. I almost didn't catch it but she wiggled uncomfortably.

"Just, wanted to go over some stuff. Nothing big." he said with a shrug that she believed.

"So what did you too do yesterday?" He asked.

"Watch a movie." She lied.

"Is that so…what movie?" he asked raising an eyebrow, I wonder if he knew.

"Transformers." I lied smirking at him.

"And you did that all night.""No actually Bella slept all night." I grinned bigger and he smirked. We both laughed knowing he knew exactly what we did but we were being really obvious with each other.

"Yeah, well we really aren't here to discuss about my sleeping night. Caleb where exactly do you want to propose?" Bella asked trying to change the subject, which worked because Caleb grew nerves.

"I don't know. Where do you think I should?" she though about it for a moment and smiled.

"I think it should be at the dells. That's the place were you first meet her right?"

"Yeah." he smiled liking the idea. "but when?"

"How long exactly do you have with her?" she asked.

"2 years 11 months 2 weeks and 2 days. but who's counting" wow. i laughed.

"Well do it on your third year." he smiled.

"Now my dear brother we need to run over something's. You have to take her out to dinner, and I'm not talking about Nicky's I mean a real dinner. Take her at night to the Dells and ask her. Now Come on boys, we need to go buy a engagement ring." Bella jumped of my lap and grabbed both my and Caleb's hand dragging us along." Good luck hiding the proposal from her. Almost nothing can get past her. Caleb thought only making me laugh.

"Yeah but see that's where your wrong. I have a pixie on my side."

Huh! You might actually get away with it. Well I hope you plan big, because Bella doesn't mess with engagement proposals.

"Your right. That's why I still have Alice. You know she does everything big."

For a small girl she can have a lot of excitement. Sometimes it looks like she's jumping on the walls. I laughed and nodded.

"What exactly are you two talking about." Bella asked narrowing her eyes at us.

"Nothing." we both said at the same time.

"Whatever. Come on. Get in." Bella said getting on the drivers seat to her car. Caleb and I laughed but got in before she attacked us.

"So where are we going?" Caleb asked.

"To buy the ring, duh!"

"I know Bells, he means where?" I asked laughing at Bella's inpatients.

"Oh, umm, I think we should go to either Tiffany's or Key. What do you think." she asked Caleb looking through the rear view mirror.

"You pick Bells." she shrugged and sped up faster.

"Have you guys ever got caught driving fast in a small town like this?" I asked.

"No. well it really doesn't matter. We get off the hook because of the whole Ipswich sons and daughter. They look at us like royalty so no one really wants to get us in trouble." Caleb said with a shrug.

"Wow!" I said. It was cool how they could get away with anything. I saw Bella pull over and park in the lot. I looked up and saw Tiffany's. I smiled at her and ran to the other side to open her door. She blushed and kissed my cheek before she grabbed my hand and lead us in.

"No price limit right?" she looked back at Caleb.

"No, but remember Sarah isn't into the whole show off thing. Like you she like to keep things simple and discreet.""I know Caleb, relax." we walked into the store and the jeweler smiled at us.

"Mr. and Ms. Danvers, what an honor. How can I help you." He asked.

"We're looking for a engagement ring. But we need you to keep this a secret until after the engagement please." Bella looked at him sweetly.

"Of course Ms. Danvers. Now who may I ask is getting married, are you getting Lady Bella's engagement ring in front of her?" He asked me a bit shocked.

"No sorry, that's going to wait a while longer." I smirked at him.

"Ah, so then it must be young Caleb." I could see Caleb blush but nod.

"Okay well do we have anything in particular you would like to see?" He asked.

"Boys, why don't you go sit down and let me handle it." Bella said. We looked at each other and shrugged before we walked away.

"Okay, so…" Bella began and went into full outmode in finding the perfect ring. She described what she wanted and he should her different selections. Nothing convinced her though.

"So did you ask the boys?" I ask while Bella was distracted.

"Yeah, there all for it. Reid wants us to tell Bella, he thinks it's not right. But were not risking it. Bella's a very stubborn girl and I'd hate to say it but she get's that from me and dad."

"Yeah, I've grown to see that." I said with a laugh.

"Did Alice and the other agree?""Yeah, she even said you would ask us to go to Nicky's.""Yeah she's right. The guys want to go and hang out for a while." I nodded.

"Okay." I said simply.

"Caleb, Edward look. I think I found it. It's cute, simple, not to big not to small." Bella said excitedly. At that moment she reminded me of Alice for a while. We both got up to see what she found. It was nice. It was a heart shaped cute diamond.

"Can you engrave something in the inside?" Bella asked the jeweler.

"Of course." he smiled. "what would you like?"

"Sarah & Caleb Danvers." she smiled.

"Great." he said writing it down.

"When would you like to pick it up?" he asked.

"When ever you have it ready." Caleb said taking out his credit card. He handed it to the jeweler. After getting that finished Bella drove back home.

"Okay well we'll see you two later at Nicky's. And thanks for the help." Caleb said getting in his car. He drove away.

"We're going to Nicky's" Bella asked me.

"For a while, before everyone comes over to the house." She nodded and lead me inside.

"You still haven't made it up to me." She smirked.

"Oh, well I'm sorry Ms. Danvers." I picked her up bridal style and ran up the stairs. I was most defiantly going to make it up.
