Chapter 8

We walked along the beach holding each other's hands. My feet sinking into the warm sand with every step that I took. Our hands swinging between us, the only thing that separates us from touching each other. I looked up at him. He looked deeply in thought I didn't want to disturb him. I mezmorized his face, every perpecular detail on it. The way his nose was perfected and shaped. The way his body was sculpted to fit him, not too strengthened , but if he were to hug you he would crush you in a split second. I wanted to reach out and touch his face. Run my fingers along his jawline, his lips, his nose.

He felt my stare and looked at me sorta startled. He flashed his brilliant smile towards me. "What?" he questioned.

My breathing hitched as I took a sharp intake of breath. His face was glory in the sunlight. He was like my own personal god. I looked down at my feet and my smile dropped as I remembered what Alice had said to me. Tomorrow we were leaving to go back to Forks. I wasn't sure I was ready yet. I was afraid of who might be there when we got back.

"This morning..." I began. "Alice had called me when you rushed out to the ocean." I hated to bring that subject up. I felt him stiffen beside me. I looked up, but he was facing forward again. I started back up.

"She told me that Jacob had run away." I looked at Edward again. A slight twitch played at the ends of his lips. "She told me that the clan was out to get me because I married you and that is what caused Jacob to run away."

"Alice told you this. Did she not?"

"Well. No. She saw it in her vision."

"What did she SEE in her vision?"

I unlocked our hands. "I don't know. She just said that they were after me." I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly trying to stall. "I don't want you to get hurt so I am scared to go back to Forks."

"Bella," he sighed. "If I could stay here with you forever I would. We can't just go and hid. It doesn't work like that. They would defiantly think that something is up. That maybe I took you away from all of them."

My anger fired. Like you just lit a candle and the flame is little still. "I am MARRIED to you. Of course I am yours know!" I exclaimed.

"Bella!" he gripped my hand. I don't think he meant to do it with as much force as he did, but it hurt. "It's not just Charlie! The werewolves would know! They would think that something was up." We had stopped on the beach.

Just then the phone rang and Edward's hand flashed to his ear. A tiny silver cellphone on his palm. He was speaking so fast I couldn't understand him. His lips were only a blur to me. When he put the phone back in his pocket he turned to look at me.

"Bella," he grabbed my hand but with care. "We are leaving tonight. Pack your things." he lifted me up into his arms and ran back to the house. We must have at least walked 2 miles down the shore, but Edward got us back in 2 seconds flat.

I was wriggling in his arms now. "Edward!." I beat on his chest. "EDWARD! Put me down!" I demanded. He didn't seem to notice me trying to fight my way out, but I knew he did. We were in the house now and tears started to well in my eyes, threatening to spill over.

He finally noticed me when we were in the room and my tears were coming down my cheeks like it was a waterfall. He set me down on the bed and I could see the anger in his eyes. I didn't want my honeymoon to turn out like this. I wanted it to be special. It was, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't the special I was looking for.

He knelt in front of me while I was still sitting on the bed with my legs over the side, crying. He put his hands on both sides of my face, wiping my tears with his thumbs. I had my hands kept to my sides, and I tried not to move. It's not that I couldn't , but more that I didn't feel like moving. I wanted to keep myself neutral for a while. At least until I was ready. Ready to endure what I knew was coming. Alice. Alice was the one on the phone. And I knew it was bad.

Edward kissed my forehead and sat next to me on the bed. I leaned against him but he shrugged my head off and the tears came down harder. He faced me and held my hands in his. He forced me to look at him.

"I'm sorry." he said soothing me only a bit.

I didn't answer.

"Bella," he sighed. "Please." he begged. "I am sorry I didn't believe you. About Alice that is."

I still didn't answer.

I let the silence grow between us. Finally I don't think that either of us could take it anymore I had to break it.

My lips crashed into his and I wrapped my arms around his neck. My fingers twining into his hair. Taking fistfuls of his soft luscious hair.

At first he was frozen, but then he finally came to his senses and kissed me back. He laid me with my back on the bed. His left hand supporting my head and neck and his right wrapped around my waist. I turned my head to the side to get air.

"So. What is the plan?" I smiled moving my lips back to Edward's cool ones.

Edward silently laughed. "Well." he said sitting up and pulling me onto his lap. "After we get our stuff packed. Alice already arranged for our flight to leave tonight. We are going to be flying to Los Angeles to meet Alice and Emmett. Then we are going to fly up to Forks together and you are gonna have to do something for me. Okay?" his tone was serious now.

I shook my head and he continued.

"Well I think that it is time that we move to New Hampshire to get started for Dartmouth." he paused for a second and his face dropped. "Well at least... our sisters and brothers can start college."

My faced lit inside. I didn't want to upset him by showing it on my face, but I knew he could feel my excitement as he knew I knew he was talking about changing me.

"I will have to say bye to Charlie?" I asked not sure if I was ready to leave him or not.

He shook his head. "Yes. But you wail only have tomorrow because Alice's vision showed them surrounding our house. We need to be quick. Alice and Esme already packed everything. We are ready on a short moment notice."

"I should call Charlie to tell him I will be home tonight and will be leaving tomorrow night for college. I think this will give him enough time of a head start. What about my clothes?" I wondered if they already got them form Charlie's or not.

His head shot up and a brief smiled formed on his lips. "Alice grabbed only you 'nicest' ones that she could find. Once you are transformed..." he broke off mid sentence as if not sure what to do. He slightly shook his head and was brought back to reality. "...your body will be shaped differently. More muscular and built."

Tears started to fall down my face and Edward layed me down on the bed, kissed my lips with an urgency but I could feel him moving his lips as I moved mine. The way they were placed, gently and softy upon mine. I drifted to sleep and I only woke once when the private plane engine roared to life, but then I fell asleep again.

The next thing I knew I was on a different plane sleeping next to Alice.
