AN: Sorry guys, this is going to be short…I have a bad case of writer's block…I will try to update with longer chapters as soon as I can…

Chapter 10

"Bella," someone whispered, "Bella, love, you need to get up." I groaned and stretched out my arms. When I reached out, I ended up hitting something cold and hard.

I quickly jumped up, off the soft couch in Edward's room, and spun around to face Edward.

"Oh, Edward!" I gasped, "I am so sorry, I didn't mean to hit you! I'm so sorry!" Edward just chuckled and wrapped his arms around my waist. He pulled me close to him and whispered in my ear.

"Bella, I'm indestructible. It didn't hurt at all." I leaned my head back into his chest and looked up at his face.

"I still feel bad," I told him.

"Don't be," he told me, "I am perfectly fine." We sat together in silence when a question occurred to me, in my head.

"Edward?" I asked.

"Hmmm?"

"How do you become a vampire?" Edward stiffened. His arms around me became tense.

"I rather not answer that," Edward told me through clenched teeth.

"Please?" I begged.

"No," he told me.

"Edward," I sighed, "Please tell me."

"No, Bella. I will not answer that." Edward insisted.

"Why not?" I questioned.

"I have my reasons," he told me.

"Edward, please," I begged, "I would really like to know."

"Bella," Edward sighed, "Maybe later."

I tore myself out of Edward's arms and stood up facing him. He did the same.

"Edward! I need to know!" I almost yelled.

"Why do you need to know?" He asked with the same amount force in his voice that I had.

"Because, do you think I'm going to want to be aging while my husband stays immortal and perfect?" I questioned.

"That is exactly what is going to happen!"

"Why? Why can't I become what you and your family are? We could be together forever instead of for a couple of decades!" I told him.

"I can't bear to see you in pain for three days, Bella! That would tear me to pieces."

"Ughh!" I screamed. I threw my hands up in the air, dramatically.

"Fine," I told him, "I'm going to see Alice." I started walking out of his room. I turned the brass knob on the door, and I was almost out of the room when Edward was suddenly in front of me, blocking my way to Alice.

"Edward," I sighed, "Please move."

Without another word, Edward picked me up and kicked his door closed.

"Edward!" I screamed, "Put me down!"

"Okay," he said.

"Wha-" I was about to question, but Edward threw me onto his couch, cutting me off.

He pushed onto the soft cushions and crawled on me. He started kissing up and down my neck.

"Bella?" he asked.

"Hmmm?" I responded.

Edward slowly kissed his way up to my cheek.

"Please don't go to Alice's." Before I could respond, Edward had his lips on mine and was kissing me. I forgot everything that I was trying to do when he kissed me. He smiled as he pulled away.

"I…I…" I started. I couldn't think about what I was going to do. "Cheater!" I screamed, "That was not fair!" I screamed at him.

"How could you just 'dazzle' me like that?" I asked him.

"Bella, don't be mad," he told me, "I'm doing this to help you."

"Oh, so not letting me ask questions, is helping me? Oh I see how it is!" I picked up my skirt to run to Alice's, when I realized I was still in my wedding dress.

"Uhh…Edward?" I asked.

"Yes?"

"Where is my suitcase? I need to change." I told him.

"I think Alice has your suitcase. She said she wanted to upgrade your clothes," he told me.

"Okay!" I said, "I'll be right back!" I quickly ran over to Alice's room. I was about to knock on her door when she ran over and opened it.

"Come on in, Bella! I have to tell you so much!" She said to me.

"Okay, Alice, but is there a chance that I can change first?"

She laughed, "Of course. Here," she handed me a dress, "Wear this one." I looked at it, and I gasped. It was a navy blue color that had beads all over the bust area. It had a long skirt and short sleeves. There was a light blue ribbon around the waist.

"Alice," I told her, "I can't wear this."

"Why not?" She asked confused.

"Because it is way too expensive, and it's not mine."

"Bella," she sighed and rolled her eyes, "It's the least I can do for my soon-to-be sister-in-law."

I smiled, "Okay. Thanks Alice." I went into her bathroom and quickly changed out of my wedding dress.

I walked over to Alice and thanked her again.

"Okay," she told me, "What's your question?"

"Like you don't already know," I muttered.

She chuckled, "Good point, Bella. Well, let me guess, your question is how you become a vampire?"

I nodded.

"I don't think I'm supposed to tell you this, but you have a right to know," she told me.

I sat silently, waiting for her to continue.

"Okay, well, a vampire has to bite you. Their venom will get into your bloodstream and it will slowly change you. You will be in terrible pain for three whole days, until the venom reaches your heart and your heart stops."

"Oh," I said, "So that's what Edward meant when he said he didn't want to see me in pain for three days."

She nodded. I stood up and hugged her.

"Thanks, Alice," I told her, "For everything." I motioned to the dress.

She laughed, "You're welcome, Bella."

I started to head back to Edward's room, but Alice called me back.

"Bella?" She said.

"Yes?"

"We didn't have that conversation," she winked at me. I smiled.

"Of course." With that I headed back to Edward's room. He was lying on his couch with his eyes closed. The purple bruises under his eyes really stood out now. He needed to hunt, that much was obvious.

I quietly walked over to Edward and climbed on him. I kissed his cheeks and I saw him slowly open his eyes. I could see a mischievous glint in his black eyes.

"Uh oh…" I stated. Edward flashed my favorite crooked grin and he suddenly flipped me over so he was on top of me. He started kissing me again, just like he did earlier, and I stood lying on the couch, completely motionless in his arms.

"Bella?" Edward whispered.

"Hmmm?" I responded quietly.

"What did you need from Alice?" He started kissing my neck. I couldn't think straight.

"Umm…well…I changed…into…a new dress…and…we…talked…" I said, struggling for words.

"What did you talk about?" He asked me.

"I…umm…we…talked about…uhh…" I couldn't think when he was kissing me.

"Bella," Edward moaned, "What did you talk about?"

I struggled to stand up so I could think. Edward stopped kissing me, but he still held me in his arms.

"Bella…" Edward started again.

"Uhh…we talked about getting ch-"

"EDWARD!" Alice screamed, barging into the room, "I just had a terrible vision." Alice said panting. Edward focused on Alice and I saw hate, love, and pain, cross his features as he watched the vision.

I looked at Alice. She was crumpled up on the floor, looking completely helpless. I stood up from Edward and walked over to her. I wrapped my arms around her and she thanked me. She then nodded at Edward and left.

I stood up where I was standing and Edward did the same. I stared at him not sure of what to do. Edward slowly came up to me and wrapped me up in his arms.

"Bella, no matter what, I need you to promise me something," Edward told me.

"Anything," I said.

"Don't go anywhere without one of us," he told me.

I nodded. That shouldn't be hard to keep at all. I loved all of the Cullens to be away from them for any period of time.

"I promise," I told Edward.

"Good," With that he kissed me again. But this kiss was different. There was something to it, almost as if he was telling me good-bye. Good-bye forever…

AN: Sorry that took so long to put up…I will try to get more up soon…
