She felt his hand slide out of hers and she watched as he took off into the forest, and disappeared under the darkening sky. Scarlet sighed, putting her head down. Waiting for her family to find her. She remembered, how in one night her whole life had changed. How in one night, she had a new family. How in one night… She had two soul mates. But, was that even possible? She knew, deep in her mind, deep in her heart, somewhere in the back of her conscious mind, was the one her heart truly belonged too… She heard a voice break the silence. "Scarlet! Scarlet!" She heard her name being called. A moment passed before a figure broke through the trees. "Scarlet! Oh, Scarlet! Thank God!" It was Alice. She saw her friend come running to her side, and wrap her arms around her waist in a tight hug. "How could you run away from us like that?" She heard Alice's voice growing angry. She hadn't even thought of what her excuse was. "I thought I knew James… He took off." She whispered, trying to put as much sadness into her voice as possible. "I just- couldn't listen to the sound of someone dying. Especially from someone who you used to love… It's too hard. I had to do something." She said, putting more sadness into her voice. She heard Alice sigh. "It's alright. I understand." She whispered, resting her cheek on Scarlet's head. Another voice roared out. "Scarlet! Oh man! Was that some slam you gave Carlisle back there! You knocked him to the ground!" Scarlet smiled, trying to look a little bit more amused. That was so Emmett's natural behavior when it came to action. Another voice called out, it sounded like a scowl. "Scarlet. I'm glad to see that you are safe." It was Rosalie of course. She watched as Rosalie gave a distasteful look toward her mate and then attempt a smile to her. She watched as Jasper broke through the trees next, not saying a word, but only nodding her way. Alice released Scarlet and bounded to her mate's side, grasping his hand. She saw her whisper something in his ear, but it was too low for her to make out. Next was Esme who came through the trees, a look of sheer worry mixed with utter happiness as she trotted over to Scarlet, wrapping her arms around her. "Oh, Scarlet! I'm so glad you are safe!" She nearly shrieked. Scarlet smiled. No one could be as close to a mother as Esme could. Next, she saw the beautiful face of one of her mates. She saw his beautiful bronze hair, and hazel eyes flash at her, as he walked over, his hands clenched into fists. "Scarlet." He whispered. It sounded as if he were trying to sound mad, but her name only flooded with relief as he said it. Scarlet smiled, wrapping her arms around his waist and leaning her head against his chest. "Edward." She said, trying to sound relieved as well. She felt his cold lips kiss her forehead and she shivered and then blushed. She saw him give the crooked smile she loved and laugh. "How long will it take for you to stop hyperventilating every time I touch you?" He said, a look of amusement tipped in his face. Scarlet smiled. "Probably never." She said, blushing again. Finally, Carlisle broke through the trees. A smile across his face. "Scarlet. It's good to see you still alive." He said, grasping her shoulder and giving it a shake. Scarlet smiled at Carlisle and then turned back to Edward. "Carlisle took quite a fall when you broke free him. It's hard to hurt one of us, but you succeeded. Congratulations." Edward said, sarcasm flooding his voice. "I am part vampire, don't you remember? And who knows, maybe I have some weird special gift like you or Alice or Jasper?" She said, smiling. "Maybe." Edward said, implying the thought. Scarlet smiled. She locked eyes with Edward. Her mind raced, and her smile faded. Edward. She had to choose. She knew her true soul mate was, but, she couldn't bring herself to believe it and give up the other. Edward took his hand under her chin and turned her face back to his, "What is it?" He said, worry touched around his eyes. "Its- nothing." She finally answered, turning her head away. "Just, a little tired I guess. I'm still part human, remember?" She said, forcing a smile. He smiled back, she knew he was still skeptical, but she shook that thought away. She grasped his hand beginning to walk through the trees. "Come on, let's go home." She watched Carlisle take off through the trees, followed by Esme, and then Alice and Jasper disappeared, and finally Rosalie and Emmett. She began bunching her leg muscles to run, but just before she took off, she felt his cold hand grab her elbow, pulling her back. He flipped her around, delicately, like she was made of glass, and would brake at any moment. He wrapped his arms around her and smiled at her. "Scarlet. Tell me what's really wrong." He said, that crooked smile stretching across his face. Damn smile. "Really, it's nothing. I'm just tired." She said, lying. Edward smiled at her. "Then allow me to take you home." He said, grabbing her arm and slinging her onto his back. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he took off through the trees. It was nothing but seconds before he stopped at the edge of the open field that their house, well, her house now as well, was located in the center of. He grasped her hand and tugged her along behind him into the beautiful field. He kept walking, passing up the house. Scarlet jerked to the side, trying to go up the porch steps, but Edward only glanced back, smiling, and kept walking and back into the forest. Scarlet heard the sound of the river growing louder and louder. Finally the forest opened up into another river, and there was the river. The field had beautiful purple wildflowers growing everywhere. The river was so beautiful, it flowed a clear blue. Edward tugged her along and toward the edge of the river. She stood beside him, gazing at the beautiful clear blue water that flowed past her. She felt Edward's arms wrap around her waist and his cold fingers on her face, turning her face to meet his dazzling hazel eyes. She wrapped her arms around his waist and her eyes locked with his. She felt him turn to the edge of the water. She felt herself leaning toward Edward. She leaned farther, but she wasn't leaning. He was pulling. She felt her feet come off the edge of the edge of the river. She heard her voice shriek until she hit the water. Edward's arms were still wrapped around hers. Scarlet's eyes were still closed. She opened them and her sight was clear, the sunlight broke through the surface of the water, lighting the underwater world she gazed at. She felt her feet brush the bottom of the river, the soft sand sifting through her toes. She felt Edward's fingers on her cheek and she turned her face to his face. His golden hair was flowing under the water, it looked like silk. She felt his fingers running through her hair, his other arm wrapped around her waist. She felt his hand move from her hand to her cheek, and then down to her collarbone and back up her neck. She placed her hands on his chest. She closed her eyes, feeling his cool lips press against hers. She twined her fingers through his silky flowing hair. She felt his breath on her lips. Its sweet scent tied in with it. She opened her eyes and his eyes were locked with hers. She smiled. Suddenly, the sun broke through surface, beaming down below. She watched his skin sparkle, and hers as well. She twined her fingers with his. She watched as his sparkling skin reflected in the water around her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she felt his feet push off the sand and they resurfaced. She wrapped her arms around his neck. And she felt his cold hands on her neck. His lips met hers again, and after a moment released. She felt his sweet breath on her neck. She watched him wade over to the shore and step onto the sand. He extended his hand and she waded over to him and grasped his hand and he effortlessly pulled her out of the water and into his arms. He bounded across the still water of the river and landed onto the soft field of the other side with not even a sound. He fell to his knees and then over on his side, Scarlet still wrapped in his arms. She felt the soft grass against her skin. She turned over, laying her head down on his chest and gazing into his eyes. He looked at her, locking eyes. She blushed and felt what was left of her heartbeat going crazy. He smiled. Scarlet was soaked everywhere, and so was Edward, her was clumped on her shoulders, some dangling at her side. "Take off your jacket, it's soaking wet, it's only going to make you that much colder." He said, a smile stretching across his face. Scarlet sat up, throwing her jacket into the grass. She felt the cold air blowing on her wet arms. She shivered. She felt his cold hands grasp hers and pull her slowly into his lap. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she blushed. She saw Edward lift his head up for a moment and then look back to her. "What is it?" She whispered in a low voice, her eyes still fixed on his mesmerizing ones. "Carlisle, says Esme is worried about us." Scarlet cocked her head to the side, and raised one eyebrow. "You can be worried about a vampire getting in trouble in Forks? I find that hard to believe. Edward smiled and picked Scarlet up with up into his arms effortlessly as usual and set her back down on her feet, and grasped her hand, tugging her into the forest and back toward the house. Here was a short stretch of woods between the field of the house, and the field of the river. And the woods only lasted just moments before opening into the field to the house. He picked up speed, slightly, and glided up the porch steps. He opened the door and walked down the hall, nodding at his family as they passed by. Edward turned into his room, still tugging Scarlet behind him. He closed the door and released her hand, sitting on the bed, his head in his hands. "It's getting late, don't you think you should go to bed?" He said, looking up. Scarlet raised her eyebrow. "It's 6:47" She said, pointing to a clock that sat on his table. "Oh, never mind then." He said, putting his head back into his hands. "What's wrong?" Scarlet said, sitting on his bed beside him, wrapping her arms around his waist. She felt Edward's arms wrap around her waist and his head lean against her shoulder. "Scarlet, something has been bothering me." He said, his hands tightening around her waist. "What is it?" She said, concern in her voice. "Why did you save James?" The question caught her off guard, but she already had an answer from early today when Alice asked her. "I used to love him, you know that. And it's hard to watch someone you use to love die before your eyes." She said, trying to add some amusement too the mood. But it didn't help. "Do you still love James?" That question had caught Scarlet off guard. She laughed, trying to make it sound ridiculous. She saw him fighting back a small smile. "I love you, Edward." She said, taking his face in her hands. She felt his hands on her face now, pulling her closer to his. She rested her forehead on his forehead, their eyes locking and as close as possible. She watched that crooked smile run across his face. His lips pressed against hers. Her eyes shut, and she felt the palms of his hands on her neck. Suddenly, she heard a small knock on the door.
