The whole Cullen family had smiles on their faces, even Rosalie. Alice was smiling the brightest. Well other than Edward who was happy I had taken him back. I hesitantly walked down the stairs. But being me, on the last few steps, I tripped. Before I could land on the grown, Edward caught me.

"Wow, Bella, you haven't changed at all!" Emmett said with a big grin on his face.

"Well, the wardrobe has been updated, but other than that it's the same me."

"Oh, Bella, we have missed you so much!" Esmy said giving me a hug.

"I have missed you all too!" I had and I was overwhelmed with the happiness of having them here. "So this was the small gathering you were talking about," I said to Edward.

"Yes. I figured it would be a good idea for everyone to introduce themselves, or in your case, catch up." I hoped this wouldn't last too long. I wanted more time alone with Edward.

"So I take it you all have been introduced then?" I asked.

They all nodded in agreement.

"So was there a particular plan for tonight?" I asked hoping that the answer was no.

"No, just a meet and greet kind of thing," Alice chirped. "Besides some of us has some stuff to attend to tonight. Rosalie and I are going dress shopping for homecoming."

"Yeah, and we are going hunting," Jason said indicating him and the rest of my family. I didn't need to hunt as often, so I was still ok from the last time we went on a hunt.

"I have a shift at the hospital in an hour," Carlisle said.

"We have things to attend to at home," Emmett hinted to Rosalie. A smile spread across her lips.

"And I have to finish restoring the house," Esmy said. I knew this was probably a plan to get Edward and me alone.

"Well it was nice to meet you all, and good to see you again Bella, but we must be going." Carlisle announced. "We will hopefully see you soon." With that everyone left, including my family.

"Bella, are you going to be ok here? We are going further away, and will be gone for about a week," Carson said.

"I will be perfectly fine, Dad," I said rolling my eyes. He worried way too much about me.

"Well we will see you in a week then. It was nice to see you again Edward." Edward gave him a nod then they were gone. Leaving Edward and I to ourselves.

"It was nice to see them all again," I said to Edward.

"The missed you."

"Yeah, I missed them, mostly you though," I said looking at the ground.

"You really don't want to be alone for a week do you?" he asked.

"Not really."

"Would you like to stay at my house? Or if you wish, I could stay here with you."

"Stay with me."

"I wouldn't have left you alone anyway," he smiled, then bent down and kissed me. There was so much more passion in our kisses then there used to be. It felt so good.

Suddenly he pulled away. "Bella, go pack some clothes. We are going to my house."

"What? Why?"

"It's not safe here, now go pack clothes, quickly. Trust me."

"Ok." I rushed upstairs and grabbed the first things my hands touched.

When I was downstairs Edward grabbed my bag and rushed me to his car. As soon as I was in he was speeding away.

"Edward tell me why we had to leave." I demanded.

"There is another vampire. He has had his eye on you for while. He wanted to wait till you were alone, then he was going to kidnap you. I don't know why, but it wasn't safe to find out," he wasn't telling me something

I wasn't going to press, Edward was furious. And I don't think I wanted to know why this vampire has his eye on me. I was scared.

"Don't worry, you will be fine with us, Bella." Edward grabbed my hand sensing my fright.

We made it to his house in minutes. "Hey, I am not worried."

He laughed. "Whatever you say. But you DO look a little scared."

"I would be insane not to be scared. I mean some creepy vampire is after me. And why I don't know, but I am sure you do. So are you going to tell me what he wants?"

"No."

"Why?"

"I don't want you to get upset or freak out."

"I probably will if you don't tell me."

"True, but you might if I do tell you."

"You are impossible."

"Bella, this is very serious. We should wait till your family gets back before we do anything."

"Fine. Just promise not to leave me alone with him out there. Not even if you leave me with Alice or anyone else. I need you to stay with me." The truth was, I was afraid that if Edward went after this guy, I might never see him again. I knew he could read that in my eyes.

"I promise not to leave you." I knew he was telling the truth. I don't think he would have wanted to leave me alone anyway.

We walked into his house. Esmy was busy cleaning an antique crystal chandelier. "What are you two doing here?" she asked looking up at us.

"Someone is after Bella so I am going to have her stay with us till her family comes back. Then we will figure out what to do.

"Who is after you?" she asked me, her eyes and voice full of concern.

"I don't know. But I am guessing Edward is keeping something from me." I elbowing Edward in the ribs.

"HEY!" he wrapped both of his arms around me so I couldn't get him again, so I couldn't even move.

"Well, Bella, stay as long as you need to. We will help however we can with whoever is after you."

"Thank you Esmy." Edward still had me in his grip so I couldn't move. "You can let go now, I promise I won't elbow you again."

"I am afraid I can't let go." He picked me up with my bag full of clothes slung over his shoulder, and carried me into his room. He set me down on the couch still holding me tightly.

"I love you Edward Cullen."

"I love you Isabella Swan." With that he kissed me. I felt myself melting into his arms. He moved me so I was lying on the couch, him on top of me, never breading the kiss. He pressed his body to mine and deepened the kiss. When we finaly broke apart it had been hours. I was completely breathless.

"Please tell me who is after me Edward," I pleaded.

He sighed, giving in. "Bella…he wants to kill you."

"Why? Who is he?"

"Because you rejected him."

"You didn't answer my second question."

"It's Tyler. Apparently he was turned into a vampire by Victoria before she found you. She couldn't get close to you and she needed to get someone to help her. She figured since Tyler had feelings for you and you didn't go to prom with him, and then still wouldn't go out with him after I left, that he would be angry and he could get close enough to you and distract you so Victoria could kill you. Tyler is angry still because you didn't choose him, and he thinks it's your fault he is a vampire in the first place."

"Is he powerful?" I asked digesting the information he just told me.

"Very, but I don't know what his power is." That was a lie. Edward knew what it was. There was a glint of fear in his eyes.

"Edward just tell me. I know you know what it is."

"I can't, Bella." There was true fear for my life in his eyes. I didn't press any further.

"Ok." He held me tight against him.

"Just whatever you do, don't leave this house without me or anyone else."

"Ok, Edward. I promise." He kissed my forehead. We stayed like that the rest of the night. Just sitting on his couch, him holding me tightly. Sometimes we would kiss, other times just lay there.
