I don't own twilight

thanks to everyone who reviewed so quickly and approvingly.

To Natalie: Could you please stop accusing me of having no spell check on my stupid laptop, I know I don't have Microsoft word, I also don't have the Internet, and no I don't have a disk drive because Oskar broke it.

Anyway, thanks again to all of you that reviewed

Torie: I decided not to tell you about that chapter because well, you know everything about this story and I wanted to do a little switcheroo with the plot, and well to surprise you, ill email you ASAP and tell you whats really going on.

And once again THANK YOU, that chapter got one of the quickest and biggest responses to the whole story than any other of my longer chapters.

Enough of my high jabbering on.... on with the chapter.

Chapter 10

EPoV

Her soft lips were pressed against mine with a worm and yet hesitant fever, I couldn't explain the exhilaration laced with a slight tinge of anxiety, that I was feeling. It worried me that I couldn't pull away, that I wanted this, what worried me more was that she was kissing me. I was the monster and she was kissing me.

Coherency slowly dwindled back to the front of brain, ready to take command of the situation that was so quickly getting out of hand.

BPoV

Before I could realize the full implications of what I was doing, Edward was kissing me back. That was what surprised me the most, the fact that he didn't take that chance, the vulnerability that I left hanging out there in my gesture, to kill me.

But before the kiss could get heated enough to become anything more than a kiss, he shoved me roughly. During the kiss I was sitting up slightly, holding onto the kiss, but his rough and caveman actions threw me into the ground.

My head hit the ground hard, only seconds after my back did. And in a flitting motion Edward had run so fast to the other side of the meadow that I had to think twice whether he had actually been the one that I was kissing.

"Are you stupid?!" he screamed.

"what makes you think that?" I questioned sourly, still bewildered by what had happened in the last twenty seconds.

"I am here to kill you, I was sent here to destroy you, to seal the fate of the Volturi council and its leaders for all time, I am here to destroy you and you KISS ME?" Edward was slightly hysterical, screaming at me with venom in his words.

He had clearly not liked what I had done.

"oh what am I going to do now?" he was mumbling and pacing to himself.

He was in my face in a second. His cold breath rebounding off of my face.

"do you have any idea what you have done?" he whispered, the venom dripping from his words. "do you have ANY! Idea what kind of trouble this has caused me?!" he was screaming at me now. Trying so very hard to get me to understand something that my mind was not even beginning to comprehend.

"im sorry" I whispered, my voice deflated and self conscious.

"you should be."

And with that he ran, he sprinted from the meadow with speed unheard of in the human world, speed unseen by my knowledgeable eyes.

The weight of everything that had just happened to me was weighing on my shoulders, I slumped into the ground even more, as the belated tears found their homage on my face. Rolling down the sides of my cheeks taking the pain away, as I took in everything that had happened in the last god knows how long.

In the distance I could hear the slight piercing sound of the school bell ringing the end of lunch time, followed by the rustling of trees. The tears started to flow heavier down may face, with the thought of Edward returning to seal the fate of his precious Volturi Royals. I was apparently what was standing in the way of that fate.

"just do it!" I screamed "get it over with!"

I was screaming for my death, I couldn't take it anymore, the anxiety of the pain and suffering to end, of the non-stop surprises getting thrown at me left right and centre, there was no escape, I was ready for my peace.

"Bella?" My eyes snapped open at the sound of a voice I assumed no one would ever hear again. I moved my head to the side and gazed deeply into the pools of golden topaz liquid that took residence in his eyes.

Emmett's eyes.

"oh Bella thank god you okay!" he said as he rushed to my side. I had never seen Emmett so compassionate or grateful before, not that he wasn't, he just had a funny way of showing it.

"yeah Em, im okay." I sighed, pulling myself closer in his embrace.

Another rustling of trees alerted my senses and my eyes snapped to the same opening that Emmett had just emerged from.

In walked Alice, followed by Jasper and Rosalie.

"OH MY GOD BELLA" Alice said as she rushed to my side, shoving Emmett's massive body out of the way to crush in a bone crushing hug of her own.

"thank god your okay, oh my goodness I was so worried about you" Alice was fretting, her fingers were fluttering all over my body looking for any scratches or broken bones.

When she was done, she wrapped me in another big hug, one that would have rivaled Emmett's.

"yeah Alice, im fine." I was smiling, and hugging her back, much the way that I had Emmett only seconds earlier.

"what happened?" Jasper asked, I looked towards my brothers face, and saw worry twisted with a slight speck of anxiety in his topaz eyes.

I took that opportunity to relay the story back to them, everything from me wanting a break at lunch time, to wandering into the meadow, running away from Edward and finally the kiss and the outburst.

All four of them listened with great interest, I could see their mental notepads working overtime to get down every detail that I mentioned.

But when I approached the kiss, I didn't know what to do, what to say, or even how to approach the subject, so I delve in head first.

"so I kissed him" I stated bluntly. I looked at each individuals faces, each expressing a different emotion.

Alice: Hurt

Jasper: Pure unadulterated surprise.

Emmett: shock,

and Rosalie: she was what surprised me the most, she had a smug grin displayed across her face, almost as if she knew this was coming.

But before I could even ask her about it, there was a large bellow coming from the moron next to her.

"Alright Bella! Getting her jiggy on with a hot badass vampire WOOOHOOO!!!"

"Shut the fuck up Emmett" Rosalie yelled as she backhanded him across the back of the head.

"must you be son insensitive dear brother?" Alice said condescendingly.

I just laughed at their sibling antics.

"So tell me guys, what happened in the meadow, last thing I remember before I was running was Emmett sprawled out on the ground, looking like he had not a bone in his body, I thought you really were dead."

"nah bells! I'm too cool for death" Emmett grinned.

"what the big buffoon is trying to say, is that he was in shock, a trick that can only work on a vampire, it puts them in a state of shock for about 30 seconds, which in essence is all that Edward really needed to be able to get to you." Jasper said. I nodded as I took all of their information in.

"which is why by your recap, I am most stunned." I thought back to the way Edwards lips felt on mine, for the brief second that he kissed me.

"and you say he just ran away?" Jasper asked.

"yeah, he essentially told me how sorry I should be for destroying the fate of the Volturi Royals and then just ran." I sat there staring at my hands.

Thats when the lack of sound alerted me. I looked up to the faces of my siblings again, only this time, every single face was registered with shock.

"Bella... you never mentioned the Volturi before, this is more dangerous and deep than we thought." Alice said, and she mumbled the last bit to herself.

"we should go see Carlisle" Jasper suggested "he'll know what to do".
