So here is the next chapter. Hope you enjoy it! Sorry if there are any mistakes. Edward's POV
I think that Rosalie finally forgave me; I need to remember to thank Esme and Carlisle for going hunting and leaving us behind. I could not believe she thought that I didn't love her; I love her more than my own life!
"Edward?" she whispered.
"Yes, love?" I responded.
"Can we go hunting tomorrow?" she asked, and then she looked up at me. Her eyes were dark; she needed to go hunting now!
"Are you sure you don't want to go now?" I asked; it worried me that her eyes were so dark.
"I'm sure, just as long as we don't have to go out near the humans," she whispered.
She was so sweet, caring for the humans; she didn't want to hurt them, she was different, not like any other vampire. "Okay, but how come your eyes are so dark? They were perfectly fine this morning," I was now really curious.
"I think it was Tanya, I think that my anger made me thirstier," she explained. I nodded, that would make sense. We only had a couple of minutes left together by ourselves, Esme and Carlisle was a few miles away.
"I'm sorry, love," I apologized for what seemed like the millionth time.
"What did you do now?" she looked up.
"I'm sorry for causing you to become thirstier quicker. I know how it feels and I do not want for you to feel it so very often," I was wreck; I had done so much to my poor Rosalie in such little time.
"It's okay, and it's not you're your fault!" she hugged me and kissed my forehead, "You told me before that this sensation of having to hunt so often will wear - off."
She was right, she was always right! I loved her more than she knew, and now more; instead of me comforting her, she was comforting me because I was a wreck. This day was wrong! None of this was supposed to happen to us…but it did and now we have to deal with it.

Rosalie's POV
Edward seemed like a wreck, he was apologizing for things that weren't even his fault. All I could do was holding him in my arms; which at the moment wished they were bigger to wrap them completely around him.
"Hey guys," Esme walked in. Edward greeted Esme and Carlisle and went into my room. I knew this was bad, because we usually went into his. I stayed and talked to Carlisle and Esme explaining to them the events of today. After they fully understood, I left to my Edward.

Rosalie's POV (in her room)
"What's wrong?" I walked over to him. Edward was sitting on my bed, and had his face in between his legs; he did not look good.
"It's just that I hurt you so much today! I feel terrible, like going to the Volturi and asking them to -," I had to interrupt him.
"Edward, stop! I'm fine, tomorrow we will hunt and everything will be back to normal. I forgive you!" I exclaimed. He was shocked, it was getting annoying; it wasn't his fault and he knew it, Edward was just being…annoying.
We just stayed there, and then I left to my side of the bed. I didn't feel like speaking to him. He just sat there, very still, very pensive.
"Rosalie, I will talk to you tomorrow," and with that he left. I was so mad right now, I didn't care!

Hunting Day
As I was getting ready to leave I hear footsteps toward my door, "Come in."
"I just wanted to say that I can't go hunting with you today, love," and with that he turned around and left.
Great! Now I had to spend my day alone and hunt by myself! What type of boyfriend does that? I guess the type that just cheated on his girlfriend and needs to think about it.
I continued to get ready, when I finished I walked down and left a note for Esme and Carlisle.
"I left to go hunt, by myself. Edward took off I don't know where.
Love, Rosalie"
I ran out the door and into the woods; at the moment I did not care what I fed on, I just needed to hunt. I was kind of glad that Edward wasn't here; I wouldn't want him to see me this hungry.
**
By the time my thirst was gone, I had devoured five deer, FIVE! I walked back home, thinking, wondering where my Edward had gone to. I was hoping that he had not gone to the Denali household.
Edward's POV
Silly Rosalie, of course I hadn't gone there. I was just several miles away, but I could still hear her thoughts. I had gone because I knew she wouldn't want me to see her hunt. And there she was, thinking I had left the town…to Alaska!
My plan was to come from behind her and walk with her. I ran until I was in walking distance from her.
"Hello, stranger!" I whispered behind her. I was shocked when I didn't see get scared.
"I knew you were behind me; just like you know my scent, I know yours, darling," she stated.
"So how was hunting?" I asked, even though I already knew.
"It was well needed, I will give you that; but I will not give you any other details. Now, most importantly, where did you go?" she asked seriously.
"For a walk; I was only a few miles away from where you were. I knew you wouldn't want me to watch you hunt, so decided to leave while you were gone," I explained.
"So you still heard my thoughts?" she wondered.
"Barely, I made sure that I could barely hear your thoughts; I didn't want for you to get mad at me again," I spoke. She looked up and started to giggle, which, for some reason, made me laugh a bit.
As the usual, I carried her back home. It was starting to be like an inside joke of some kind. We were a few blocks away from the cabin when I heard Carlisle thoughts, he was worried.
"Where could he have left? Edward knows better than to leave Rosalie, go hunting alone!" Carlisle thought.
"What did you tell them, Rosalie? Did you tell them that I left?" I asked her.
"Yes, I left them a note. Why? Is there a problem?" she questioned.
"No, it's just that Carlisle read it and is now worried; I am damned when I get home," I could already sense that Carlisle was going to scream at me.
"Hey! It will be fine, I will tell Carlisle I misunderstood, and that you were there with me," she explained.
"But when you tell him that, you will be lying," I didn't want her to lie to Carlisle for me.
"No its not, you weren't next to me, but you were with me," she teased.
"Rosalie, love…I still don't want you to lie to Carlisle. You can tell him that, but then I will tell him the complete story," I declared. Carlisle deserved the whole truth.
"Fine, it's your choice," she sang and just rested her head on my shoulder.
We were a couple of seconds away, when I heard Carlisle's voice.
"Where the hell did you go? You, of all people, should know that Rosalie should not have gone alone hunting," he spoke.
"Hey, Carlisle; I didn't go hunting alone, I misunderstood what Edward told me. He was there with me and we walked back together," Rosalie explained. I loved her and she proved to me, once again, that she loved me too.
"Is that completely true, Edward?" we were now inside the house, in the living room.
"No, I had left. I was only a few miles away from Rosalie. I made sure that I could barely hear her thoughts. I could still hear them, if she was in danger. When she was done hunting I met up with her," I confessed.
"Okay. Next time, at least let her know or let me know so I won't be was nervous," Carlisle said, it seemed like a thousand pounds were lifted off him.
"Will do," I said as I nodded. We spent the rest of the day talking what everything and anything, as a family. We decided to make the travel date, to meet the Volturi, earlier. This disturbed Rosalie very much, but I told her that it would be over quickly.
**
The days went on swiftly; it seemed like everything was happening so quickly, the days that used to be long and weary were now short and vivacious. It was now the day we had to fly to Italy, we packed everything because after Italy we had to go back to Forks. Rosalie, now, seemed anxious. On the plane she was basically shaking.
"Calm down, love," I said hugging her, "everything will be fine.
"How do you know?" she asked.
"I know this because I have met them before. All they need to do is ask Carlisle why he changed you, and then that's basically it," I explained. Of course I skipped a few minor details, but they weren't important.
"I trust you, Edward," she stated and calmly rested her head on my shoulder. We still had a few hours on the plane and Rosalie needed to clear her head, of everything.
Esme and Carlisle were sitting behind us, talking about what he would say about Rosalie. He was having problem when deciding what to say. Carlisle hadn't spent as much time as I did with Rosalie.
"Don't forget to say that she wasn't tempted to hunt on humans when we when out to Philly; and tell them that we hunted, just to make sure," I advised.
"Thanks for helping me, son," Carlisle spoke.
It wasn't long before we all heard the lady, "If you look out your windows, you can see Italy. We will be making our landing in forty-five minutes."
"Edward, I am super nervous! What if they don't accept me as a vampire?" I heard Rosalie's thoughts. I was as nervous as she; we had broken a rule, I had exposed her once too many times to humans when she was a newborn. I knew she could handle it, but the Volturi didn't.
"It's going to be okay, I promise," I embraced her in a hug. She just stayed there, resting in my arms.
**
It had been a few hours since we had landed and we were at the hotel. We checked out two rooms; one for Rosalie and me, and the other for Carlisle and Esme. Once we unpacked and cleaned-up we were headed to Volterra. It was cloudy outside and there was not one ray of sun in sight; lucky us!
"Are you okay?" Esme asked Rosalie.
"I'm fine, just a bit nervous. I don't know what to expect from them," she responded.
"I would tell you my experience, but every vampires' visit is different," Esme comforted her. The worst part of all was that I knew that was true, and I had promised Rosalie everything would go well. We were just a few blocks away; I felt the burning sensation when we are thirsty, but it couldn't be that because we had just gone hunting. Then I remembered that the Volturi was made up of powerful vampires, and one of them controlled how you felt…that meant one thing. The Volturi already knew about our arrival. I turned back to look at Rosalie and she seemed fine, hopefully she would stay that way.
There's chapter 11 for you guys! Once again, I apologize for any mistakes.
If you do review, please tell me what you would like to read because I am running out of ideas and I think it is too soon for them to marry; so please! I need ideas. :)
