When we arrived back at the house, Carlisle gave us a tour of the house and then we sat in the living room and he told us a little bit about his history.

He had been changed in 1643, in London, when he was 23 by a vampire that roamed the streets at night and lived in sewers during the day. He tried to detest who he was once he realized who he had become. But he became so overpowered with thirst that he attacked a deer walking by his hiding place in a cave one night. It was then he realized he could be what he was, but without hurting anyone. After that, he discovered his calling; he wanted to become a doctor to save human lives. It took years and years, but eventually he overcame the lure of blood and was able to work in a hospital.

He came across Esme when she was taken into the hospital after falling off a cliff. She was pronounced dead, and was taken to the morgue. But when Carlisle found her, she had a heartbeat so he changed her. They'd been together ever since. They were very cute, and very much still in love, even after all of this time. I hoped I could have that one day, and then I sighed.

He then explained that he would have never changed us if we would have lived, because that was his rule. He only changed someone if their human life was over, as all of ours were.

I was glad Carlisle didn't just do it for any reason. He had a very good reason. And that was admirable.

Edward broke me from my reverie when he cleared his throat and said "Bella, would you like to come for a walk with me?"

I was surprised. What could this be about? I looked up into his eyes, but couldn't read much from them. They were so different. The red was hard to get used too.

"Um, sure," I coughed out. I stood and let him lead me out the back door and into the yard.

As soon as we were far away enough from the house that I knew they couldn't hear us, I had to ask.

"What was that about?"

"Well Jasper and Emmett were both being cowards and weren't asking Alice and Rosalie too both go somewhere alone so I thought if I asked you first, they would too. They are still getting used to the fact that I can read their minds. Plus, I needed to talk to you alone anyway."

"Oh, okay." I was a little scared by his words. What did he want to talk to me about?

We walked very far behind the house and into the woods. I was confused. Where were we going?

"Can you close your eyes? I want to surprise you with something." He said after a awhile.

I gave him a questioning look, but then sighed and closed my eyes. Then as he took my hand to lead me, a shock went through my body again, induced by his touch. But it was twice as strong as when we were human.

He led me a little further, but then we stopped. He let go of my hand, and I opened my eyes.

Nestled into the side of the little mountain, was a cottage. It looked perfect, like right out of a fairytale, and that's when it struck me. I was going to be living with Edward, forever. I wasn't going to be able not being with him.

I turned to look at him, and he was smiling. It was my perfect fairytale right there; it couldn't have been more perfect.

He led me inside and I looked around. It was small, but it was exactly right. Making it bigger would have out it out of proportion.

I sat down on the small sofa and Edward was standing perfectly still, looking out the window.

"So how did you find this place?" I asked.

"I saw it in Carlisle's mind and asked if it was okay if we came out here for a little while. He said it was fine. I just needed to talk to you."

"Okay, shoot" I said. He was making me so nervous. I had never said shoot before.

He laughed quietly and then turned around and sat down next to me. He looked down and breathed a little fast before starting.

"Alright. Hmm, where to start." He paused. "I guess I should tell you I remember everything of that last night. Even though I was drunk, I remember every single thing. Including telling you I broke up with Tanya."

"Was that true?"

"Yes, it was true."

"Why? I thought you loved her."

"I also remember telling you I didn't love her, I loved someone else."

I didn't say anything. I wasn't sure what to say.

"Bella," he looked up into my eyes, "it's you, and it has always been you. I love you. I have always loved you. Even the first time I met you in kindergarten, when you tripped, and I helped you up, I loved you then. And I dated all of those girls because I was in denial. I didn't think you would want me. I believed you were too good for me. You deserved to be with someone better than me. But, that last day I realized that I couldn't be without you. I had to be with you. I planned on telling you that night, but I got scared and got drunk. And then the accident happened, and I thought I died and I would never get to tell you how I feel. But now, we are here together, forever and I'm not going to be without you. We have eternity stretched in front of us, and I want to spend it all with you. You're my soul mate, my true other and better half, and I love you with all of my being. I can't even tell you how much I love you. This feeling is like nothing else; it's amazing. Now, I must ask, do you love me the way I love you?"
