A/N: Don't eat me. I already have more than half of the next chapter done.
Say thanks to my beta LADYALICECULLEN! Yep, she's that important, she gets caps and an exclamation mark. I was really stuck, and she wrote the beginning. It helped my muse come back, and inspired most of my writing for the next chapter of this, and of my new slash. ;] Say thanks again, and give her huuuuuuugs, and credit. :]

It's short, but you get a 'bonus'.

Anonymous reviewer Ana: Yes, anything within those two lines is a dream. You should get an account, so I could answer your questions sooner, if you have any. :]
Actually, that answer goes to anyone with that question.

I awoke with a start. Once again Edward seemed to be haunting my dreams. Well, I guess I wouldn't exactly call it haunting. Dazzling seemed more the correct word. I shook my head of those thoughts, and looked over at the clock beside my bed.

Ugh! It's only 6am...Now what am I supposed to do?

I flopped back down on my pillow and groaned. I knew at this point that I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep. I sat up slowly and looked across the room to my closet. Pulling out a comfy pair of jeans, a plain white t-shirt, and my comfiest brown sweater, I hurriedly changed and bushed my hair free of tangles.

As I walked out of my room, I heard the sound of gentle slow breaths coming from the guest room where I knew Ashley was. I smiled to myself, glad my friend was comfortable, and glad she told me the truth. I began to quietly creep down the stairs. Once I made it to the first floor (without tripping I might add, which was pretty peculiar for me), I walked through the kitchen to the back door.

Outside it was still pretty dark. I shivered and walked to the forest beyond. Everything seemed peaceful among the tall green foliage. The birds and other small woodland creatures still seemed to be sleeping. I kept my pace, feeling the relaxing waves that seemed to come over me the further I got into the woods.

After a while I seemed to notice that it seemed to get lighter out. I didn't know how long I had been walking, and it seemed I had forgotten my cell phone at the house. I shrugged it off, thinking that I wouldn't need it. I continued walking until I got to a small clearing. It was a circle in the middle of the forest. The trees gave it a large amount of shade, and the grass was a bright green color. Along the edges, flowers grew. It was beautiful.

I walked to the center and sat down. The grass made a wonderful cushion. I began to think about Chase. In a way, I could see where he was coming from. He was trying to revive our old relationship. He was trying to force himself to be my other half, and vice versa. He wanted to keep me with him. The only problem was, I didn't want to be with him.

He hurt me badly. He had an affair with Camael, the Angel of Kindness. When I confronted him about it, he said I was useless. He said that I didn't give him what he needed. Irony later struck, as Camael left him for Theliel, the Angel Prince of Love. They were one half of one person, and it was very obvious. By the time Chase sought me out, I was already on Earth.

I sighed. Tears were flowing slowly down my cheeks. I heard a faint rustling of leaves and tensed. I turned around, half expecting to see a wild animal ready to attack me. What I really saw shocked me. Edward Cullen was standing there, with an expression of concern on his beautiful face. His bronze hair was tousled, and his eyes were a light golden color. I smiled through my tears and said hello.

"Hello. I…never got a chance to introduce myself. I'm Edward Cullen. You're Bella?" It came out more like a question than a statement.

"Yes. I am… So, you've hunted? Does my scent still bother you?" I asked him. I didn't want to take any chances.

His eyes widened, and his mouth dropped open for the tiniest second, since he quickly regained his composure. His face took on a cold detachment, and his eyes froze. "Why, I have no idea what you're talking about. You're…you must be delusional."

I rolled my eyes. "Edward, please. I already know everything. I just wanted to know if you've hunted, because I really don't wanna become vampire drink at the moment." He flinched. "Even though that might be an improvement, considering how I feel right now…"

"You already know? But…how? You're a human, not a vampire. You're not a shape shifter or a Child of the Moon either."

I groaned. "I'm an angel. Simple as that."

"An angel? How are you here?"

I grinned. "You see, when my mom and dad got married the-"

He cut me off. "I know that part of it. How are you on earth? Why are you on earth?"

"I woke up here. And I'm here because stubborn little vampires don't believe that they can go to hell." I said cheerfully.

"There really is a hell? And heaven?" He asked quietly, looking at the floor.

"Yeah…"

"Is that where vampires go?"

"It all depends. If you were a good vampire, you go to heaven. If you were a bad vampire, you go to hell. You know, you're taking this rather lightly."

"I…feel like I already know this. Like, you've told me before. All I really needed was for you to tell me again."

I nodded and he sat down next to me. His presence calmed me, it made everything…okay.

"Now, why do you feel like becoming…vampire drink," he flinched as he said that, "would be an improvement?"

"You don't really care."

"I wouldn't have asked if I didn't, Bella."

"It's compli-"

"Bella!" I heard someone yell.

"Do you recognize that voice?" Edward asked as he got up and crouched into a defensive position.

"Yes, it's my best friend." I said as I stood up next to him. He relaxed his stance and ran his hand through his hair.

"Is she an angel too?" He asked nervously.

I sighed. "Yes, she is." He nodded in response.

"Bells?!" Ashley shrieked louder.

"Over here!" I responded. I turned around towards Edward. "You stay here. I need you to meet her." He nodded just as Ashley stumbled into the clearing.

"Oh, there you are! Jeez, I've been looking everywhere for you." She looked at Edward, standing quietly next to me. "Who in the world are you?"

I stood up. "This is Edward Cullen. He's a member of that coven that I'm in Forks for." Edward shot me a confused look as I said that last part.

"Oh. Well…it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Likewise."

"Nice. Well Ash, we better get going… Edward I'll see you at school tomorrow." I waved goodbye and he slowly returned the gesture.

Ashley trudged through the trees and I followed numbly behind her. I could hear her telling me something, but I wasn't paying attention. My mind kept straying to Edward.

We arrived at the house and I walked in the bathroom. I needed a shower. Once I was out, I was met with a very curious Ashley.

"You have some explaining to do."

A/N: There, you got Edward. That's your 'bonus'.
Guys, I have a question that I want answered. I made a vow to myself that I would never leave a story unfinished. But after my 3 experiments are done, what would you say to me not writing FF for a while? It's not that I don't love FF, or you. You guys make me so happy rainbows spew from my head. It's just that, the person who introduced me to this...well, I made a mistake, and we're not anything anymore [no, we didn't date...]. I'm here, typing a story because of her. I would have never known this site if she never showed it to me. And, I don't know what to do at this point.
BUT, if you guys want me to keep on writing, say the word and I'll chain myself to my desk and type the hours away.
