Edward and I strolled back to his house hand in hand. I felt kind of embarrassed though. I was covered from head to foot in the deer's blood, while he was completely spotless like usual. Every time I looked over at him he was looking at me and seemed to be deep in thought. What I wouldn't give to have his powers and know exactly what he was thinking about.

We were still walking in that comfortable silence that I never wan ted to end when a thought occurred to me. As much as I hated to mention it to him I just had to know.

"What does Jacob think about all this? Does he know?" Edward stopped in his tracks. He looked up through the trees and into the sky, which was now beginning to darken as the day was ending. He was silent for a couple minutes before he blinked and turned to look back into my face.

"He was the first one to find you. When he realized how bad off you were… he knew what was going to happen… He wasn't thinking clearly. " Edward's eyes seemed to be looking far away again, remembering. "He knew we were going to turn you into one of us. He couldn't handle it. I thought he was going to find Seth, but when Alice found him he was alone. No Jacob. Nobody's seen Jacob since then. " He glanced over at me, gauging how I would react to his words.

Why did Jacob do this to me? He kisses me and expects me to feel the same way back. He keeps insisting that I really did love him the same way he loved me. It wasn't like that. What was so hard to get? I loved him, but as a friend. I think I would know my own feelings. He couldn't know what I was thinking. Nobody could. Not even Edward, who was able to read everybody's mind but mine. I wished that he could know how I felt. There was no way I could explain any of this to either Edward or Jacob. It was just too hard. I felt so confused.

I felt an odd sensation in my eyes and felt my breath catching in my throat.

I was crying in the unfamiliar, tearless way of a vampire. It seemed unreal and fake with the absence of tears. So different from the regular human crying; a feeling I would never feel again.

Before I had even realized that I actually was crying I felt Edward's arms wrap around me, and his smooth, velvety voice whispering calming words in my ear. I buried my head in his shoulder, the same way I had, what felt like years ago. That had been in a different place. A different time. Then, he had been comforting me because of himself. I had felt so unsure about what was going to happen, when I would ever see him again.

Now, he was comforting me because of someone else… because of Jacob. No matter how much he seemed to hate my werewolf best friend, and how much he hated me crying over him, he was still here comforting me. Why did the two of the most important people in my life have to completely hate each other? Why couldn't they just get along?

My stuttering breath slowly began to stop as I calmed down. I lifted my head and kissed Edward's lips softly. Slowly, my mind began to clear as it blocked out everything but Edward. I wrapped my arms around his neck and threw myself into the kiss. I didn't want to think of anything. I wanted more than anything to forget about werewolves, vampires, the Volturi, Victoria, newborn vampires, the HHH

Hunter coming for me across the ballet studio, everything.

Edward kissed me fiercely. He pressed his lips into mine harder than he ever would have dared when I was still human. I kissed him back just as hard. He slid his hand down to my waist, pulling me closer to him. I moved my hand down to his neck and unbuttoned his shirt. I slid my hand down the contours of his perfect chest, forgetting everything but him and how much I loved him.

It was early the next morning when Edward and I finally made it back to the house. As soon as we walked in the door Emmett came running to meet us. He stopped in front of us.

"Well? How was your first "night" as a vampire? Did you two enjoy yourselves? Didn't everything feel so much more than as a human?" A mischievous grin spread across his face. Edward threw him a dark look but Emmett didn't seem to care, he just laughed.

We pushed by Emmett as he continued to laugh hysterically. Suddenly, Alice came dancing down the stairs. She stopped in front of me and gave me a hug. It was the first kind of reunion we actually had since I became a vampire. I hugged her back, careful not to exert too much of my newborn strength.

Suddenly, I realized the clothes I was wearing were still covered in blood. I backed away and looked down at them. It was dry, but it was still embarrassing. Alice's eyes brightened as she realized what that meant. I heard Edward's soft laughter beside me, and him whisper something that sounded like "It was nice knowing you."

She grabbed my hand and dragged me up the stairs and into her room. She dragged me into her bathroom and left me alone to shower. I let the water wash away the remainder of the blood and stood underneath its warm stream. It felt so much different on my skin than it had as a human I could feel every single drop as it landed on my skin. The temperature was different too. What used to feel like warmth now felt almost like fire against my cool skin. It didn't hurt. On the other hand it felt very comfortable. I stood there for a couple minutes, enjoying the new feeling.

I walked out of the bathroom, a large fluffy towel wrapped around me. Alice came and dragged me to the other end of her room.

She let go of me just outside of her closet and went inside to dig through her mountains of clothes. She pulled something out and threw it at me. Normally I would have let it drop to the ground, but now my vampire senses allowed me to catch the clothes with ease. Alice turned her back to me to let me change. I sighed jokingly for her benefit and changed into it.

It really wasn't as bad as it could potentially have been. Of course it looked like something right off the runway, but not that bad. She had given me a long, flowing, blue dress that ended at my knees.

When we got downstairs Edward smiled at me from his place on the couch. When I reached his side I sat down and wrapped my arms around his waist and kissed his cheek.

I heard Emmett whistle from the other end of the room and whisper something that sounded like "Get a room…" I felt a quiet growl in my chest. I peeked over at him and saw him roll his eyes. I smiled up at Edward and leaped over the couch, pinning Emmett to the floor in less than a second. I growled at him again, only louder this time.

"You were saying?"
