Chapter 10

Bella's POV

I thought, when I woke up this morning, the worse that would face would be Edward and our hanging by a thread relationship, I was very wrong. Out of nowhere I get vampire armies. My eyes went straight to Edward, I don't care that right now we barely have a relationship at all; I don't want him fighting vampire armies to protect me.

I moved closer to his side, "Edward can we talk for a second?"

Edward looked at me for a split second questioned written in his eyes and then nodded towards the stairs. The last time we had gone to this room, he had carried me in his arms. I almost wanted to cry at the differences between then and now. I swallowed me thoughts and focused on what's important and that was keeping Edward and his family out of this fight. Once we got to his room I walked to the far side by the large bay window facing the beautiful trees, gathering my thoughts.

"Bella, please telling me what you're thinking," Edward sighed, I smiled at the impatience in his voice, I knew it all so well. "Tell me what's wrong."

"Edward," I said turning around to face him but looking down, "I can't ask you and your family to do this, to face up against a vampire army for me. I have put you all through enough to last a lifetime."

Edward was next to me by the time I had finished my sentence, His arms wrapping around me tentatively. I knew he was afraid to upset me by getting too close, but at that moment I hated every inch in between us, the thought of anyone hurting Edward threw all my other thoughts out of my head. No matter what fight me and Edward may be in, He's the love of my life and I can't imagine a world without him in it. At least when he was gone, even when I was questioning my own sanity, I knew somewhere out there he existed. This would be entirely different if he left and never came back from hunting Victoria's army, he'd be gone; there would be no chance, not even a slight one that maybe our paths would cross someway in this life. He would be gone, and I hoped that if he would, so would I.

"Bella, I will protect you with all that I am," His words rang with finality, "I have been going about that in all the wrong ways, ways that I am ashamed I ever put you through, but this isn't about leaving you, it's about protecting you and if I don't you-"He cut off there and I got the rest, I flinched at the thought.

"I know, but Edward you're not the only allowed to fight here, if I meet them, they can have me and leave all of you alone,-" Edwards growl shook the entire house, the from the first floor I could hear similar growls rippled through the house.

"Bella, there is no way in hell I will ever let you sacrifice yourself to those monsters," He put his finger under my chin, locking our eyes together. There was nothing left to be said, but the silence was far from idle. I could feel the electricity; just like the when the lights went out in science, swell between our bodies. Over the time before Edward left, we'd felt it numerous times, pulling us closer forcing us to drown on one another. Edward face involuntarily leaned down toward mine, I was helpless there was no conscious thought other than, getting as close to Edward as physically possible. Then, just like that, his lips were on mine, as hesitant as ever, so fearful of crossing the line. I couldn't help but lean my face up and strain to get closer, it wasn't enough, the electricity begged for more contact. Soon I was on my tip toes knotting my fingers through his hair.

Edward had no more doubts; I was in the air in the next second, his arms wrapped tight to my body. His lips didn't leave mine until I felt myself starting to get dizzy, but his lips didn't leave my skin they only moved to my throat. The next thing I knew we were on his large couch in his room. He was pushing me gently into the couch cushion, without baring his whole weight on my body. It was like every inch of me had missed Edward, and finally my body and his were closing the gap once and for all. I don't know how long we were like that, minutes, days, weeks, hours, years. All I knew, was that I didn't want it to end, but we had to.

"Edward," I whispered into his ear, as his mouth had moved once again to my throat, making it hard to remember what exactly I was stopping for. "I'm serious; your family can't do this."

Edwards face came back up so that his eyes were level with mine. He put our foreheads together and breathed into my face. I lost my train of thought.

"Bella, I will protect you, this isn't an argument," He said seriously, his eyes pleading me to understand. "I love you, so does my family, we will protect you no matter what it takes."

I broke then, a tear sliding down my face, "I can't lose you again; I just got you back, please."

I felt Edward shiver in pain, at the sound of my voice, "Bella you can't ask this of me, you will not lose me, I promise, I will fight for you, I will protect you, and after this is over we will fix this. And if you think that we can, if you can find it in your heart to think that we can, I will never leave your side again, unless you order me away."

He side the last part with such fierceness, that it vibrated through him, and shook me. I stared into his eyes, how can he think that I wouldn't want to, despite everything, the idea of turning away from Edward now was not an option at all. I don't think it ever was, despite my anger and fear, and doubt, walking away from Edward, and leaving him behind, is not something I feel capable of doing, ever. He will always be mine and I have been his since the moment I laid eyes on him. Some people say, you had me at hello, He had me long before that.

"I would never do that, I could never order you away," I smiled another tear rolling down my face, "Edward how are we going to survive this?"

"Simple," Edward looked out the window into the trees; he looked in them as if he expected Victoria to jump out of them herself. "We Learn, we hunt, fight, now," He said standing up pulling me with him, keeping our hands intertwined, "We need Jasper."

"Jasper? Why?" I asked confused, Jasper was always a beloved member of the Cullen family, but never really in the center of things. I had to figure out a time to talk to him, now that he was brought to mind.

"Because believe it or not, this is his specialty," Edward turn away, making it clear he wasn't going to be the one to elaborate on this. As we turned to walk out of the room, I silently wondered if this had anything to do with Jasper's mysterious story.

Author's note: you know I had to leave you with a cliff hanger and no I'm not going to leave you without a good fight scene. I am going to try to end this amazing story, where I think my story and the book would meet. Now after this is threw, I won't be deserting my Twilight fans, I am staying true to my roots and writing a reading New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn (and possibly Midnight Sun if I get enough people to vote that I should, tell me please!) from the perspective of, if the Cullen's (and Bella) got the book after prom, When Bella recovered from James' vampire attack. (All injuries healed). I figured that would be interesting to explore tell me your thoughts and I hope you enjoyed the new chapter (PLEASE REVIEW!).
