Chapter 10

EPOV

To say I was surprised at Bella's reaction to us being vampires would be an understatement. She handled it all remarkably well and for that I was truly grateful. I couldn't stand the thought of her being scared of me.

All my family already loved her and thought of her as a valued part of this family. They were all extremely worried because every time Alice looked for James future she couldn't see anything even though it was clear that he was still alive.

I looked down at a sleeping Bella who was cuddled into my side. She was peaceful when she was asleep and looked like she didn't have a care in the world.

I began thinking about how my life had changed since I met Bella when she began to mumble in her sleep. She started crying and screaming.

"NO! No, No please don't hurt my family. Edward run!" she started thrashing and struggling.

"Bella love it's just a dream. You're okay. We are all okay. Love wake up." I held her to me tightly so she didn't cause her injuries to open up again. She calmed down some and then started to wake up.

"Edward" she whimpered and clung on to me as hard as she could. I rubbed her back soothingly and kissed her forehead.

"Were okay love I promise. I won't let anyone hurt you." And I meant that with every fibre of my being. She nodded her head which was buried in my chest and I began to hum her song and she soon fell back to sleep in my arms.

I woke up the next morning disoriented. I tried to remember what happened last night and gasped as I remembered the horrible nightmare I had.

I was standing in the middle of a field with my family surrounding me and we were all having a good time. I was sat on Edwards lap with he was whispering sweet nothings in to my ear.

A deep chuckle made my blood run cold and I whipped around to see James standing there with about 20 vampires behind him.

"Ahh Isabella is this your new family" he spat at me. Whilst giving some sort of signal to the other vampires because they all charged at my family and held them captive.

I pleaded with James to let them go "NO! No, No please don't hurt my family. Edward run" James just laughed at me and stalked towards me just as James was about to lunge for me I heard Edward's velvety voice.

"Bella love it's just a dream. You're okay. We are all okay. Love wake up" his voice gave me the strength to wake up so I sat there in his lap for the rest of the night.

I whimpered and instantly Edward was by my side. "Love, Bella what's the matter. What's wrong? Talk to me please." Edward's voice was urgent. I flung myself into his arms and just let him comfort me.

"I'm sorry Edward." His looked at me confused. "For crying on you" he just chuckled at me.

"You can cry on me anytime you like. Would you like some breakfast?"

"Yes sure that would be great thanks. Umm" I blushed and looked away. I felt Edward's finger tilt my chin up.

"What is it?" he looked confused.

"Can I have a human moment?" realisation struck him and he just chuckled.

"Take all the time you need." I got out of his lap but turned and kissed his cheek before scrambling into the bathroom to go through my daily routine.

I sat there feeling euphoric. She kissed me. My cheek was still burning from where her lips came into contact with my skin.

I got up and quickly got changed before making my way downstairs and into the kitchen ready to prepare Bella some breakfast. However I didn't need to worry about giving Bella food poisoning because Esme had already whipped up a five star breakfast for her.

I walked over to where Esme stood and kissed her cheek. "This looks great thanks for doing this for Bella" she just smiled at me.

"I love her to you know" she winked at me and left the room seconds before Bella walked in looking radiant as always.

"Thank you for breakfast it looks fantastic." She gushed.

"No need to thank me it was Esme's work"

"Esme is a great mum" Esme's thoughts were ecstatic.

She called me mum! I can't believe it.

"Hey Bella would you like to go somewhere with me after you've finished breakfast?" I was hopeful she would say yes.

I wanted to take her to the meadow so I could tell her I love her. Alice obviously seeing my intentions squealed and was besides us within 2 seconds.

"You will not take Bella anywhere before she is ready" Bella looked horrified at the thought of a makeover.

"Edward don't let her take me" she really didn't like makeovers.

"Alice, Bella doesn't need a makeover she looks beautiful in anything she wears." Bella blushed at the compliment whilst Alice pleaded with Bella to let her give her a makeover.

"Please Bella. Give me half an hour please" she used a dirty trick and gave Bella the puppy dog pout. I saw Bella's will crumble before she sighed and gave in. She turned to look at me whilst Alice was dragging her out of the room.

"If I'm not back in thirty five minutes send a search party." I just laughed and assured her I would come and get her myself.

Alice dragged me upstairs and brought me in to her bedroom. It suited Alice's personality perfectly. Her room wash vibrant and explosive.

She shoved me into a chair and attacked my hair with a curling iron. She then went on to pain my face and destroy her wardrobe. She was throwing outfits everywhere until she walked out looking triumphant.

She handed me a white sundress and a pair of black strapped sandals. I quickly put them on and looked in the mirror I must admit Alice is good. I looked pretty for a change.

"Alice you're amazing" I hugged her tightly and she grabbed my hand and pulled me to the stairs. She urged me forward and I began to walk down the stairs to where I knew Edward would be waiting.

EPOV

Bella walked down the stairs looking gorgeous as ever and my jaw dropped. She was wearing a white sundress that flared just above the knee and black strapped sandals. Her hair hung loosely in soft curls down her back and her eyes were outlined making them seem more soulful.

I ran over to her at vampire speed and took her into my arms.

"You look amazing Bella" I felt heat against my chest and knew she was blushing. I grabbed her hand and started to lead her outside. I turned around and bent down waiting for her to climb on my back.

"Ermm Edward are you sure I should get on your back I might be heavy" I rolled my eyes and looked at her amused.

"Vampire strength remember it will be like carrying a feather." She quickly climbed on my back and I took off into the woods with a giggling Bella on my back. I loved to run but with Bella on my back I loved it that much more.

I quickly arrived at the meadow where there was already a blanket in the middle for Bella to sit on. I had Esme come and out a blanket down and a radio so we could listen to music. I pulled Bella round and she looked at the meadow in awe.

"Edward, it's beautiful" I didn't take my eyes of her as I replied.

"Yes very beautiful" she blushed and led me over to the blanket.

"I like to come here when I need to think. I found this meadow my first day in forks and you're the only one who I've ever brought here. Esme has been here but she only came to drop a blanket off. I thought you might like it so I wanted to share it with you." She looked up at me and beamed at me.

"Thank you Edward I'm honoured that you would share such a special place with me."

"I wouldn't have it any other way. Would you like to dance with me?" she looked hesitant at first but then seeing the hopeful look in my eyes she nodded her head. So I took her hand and pulled her up with me.

I bent down and put the radio on to a classical music station and wrapped my arms around Bella's waist. She quickly wrapped her arms around my neck and we slowly began to move to the music.

I looked into her eyes and saw love and admiration so I took a deep breath before telling her exactly how I feel.

"Bella since I first saw you I knew then that I loved you. You are my world now and I will protect you. I love you Bella forever." I saw the tears spring to her eyes and she looked so happy I almost cried.

"I love you too Edward I have since I first bumped into you. I love you with everything I am. I always will." She spoke with such sincerity that my eyes clouded over with venom. I'm sure if I could I would have tears streaming down my face.

I leaned down and pressed my lips against hers. She threaded her hairs into my hair and kissed me back. I was careful not to hurt her but too soon for my liking I had to pull away so she could breathe.

We both stood there for what seemed like hours but were in reality only a few minutes. Both of us had goofy grins on our faces. To soon though we needed to head back so Bella could have some dinner.

I gently pulled Bella on to my back and took off for home.

From out of nowhere something barged into me and me and Bella was sent flying. I was quick to recover and looked to see where Bella was but she was already gone. I jumped up and frantically searched around for any minds to see where my Bella was but came up empty.

I took off into the woods trying to search for any scents but couldn't find any.

"Bella! Bella! No." This can't be happening I've only just found her I can't lose her yet. I fell to my knees and dry sobbed. I needed to get home I had to find my Bella. With a new determination I ran as fast as I could towards my house and burst through the front door.

Instantly everyone was on their feet when they saw that Bella wasn't with me. They all looked confused so I quickly put it into a short sentence to explain everything.

"Bella has been taken and the person who has taken her will die by my hands I'm going to get her back" those were the last words that I spoke before I started to smash everything. I felt murderous rage. How dare someone take MY Bella away from me? They will pay for doing this.
