Thanks to everyone who reviewed! I'm glad most of you like Dallas a lot! And unfortunately, he's not going to turn out to be scum, BUT, Edward and Bella are going to get back together. Just…well you'll see.
My summer classes just started, so I might not be able to update more than one week
Chapter 11:
Being with Dallas was the most exhilarating experience I've ever been through. I can't believe Edward could wait 100 years. But a part of me believed that part of the magic was specific to Dallas himself. At first he was careful, but after I was more comfortable, well, he didn't treat me like a china doll. We had been laying scooped up in each other's arms for what seemed like hours. Neither of us wanted to move an inch.
Tracing his defined jaw with one finger, I smile in perfect happiness. He kisses me in such a tender and desirable way that I could cry at how amazing it all is. I can't help but think that maybe Edward leaving me was the best thing to happen to me. I still loved him, I probably always would, but Dallas and I transcended anything I had ever known.
We could hear the rest of the family downstairs, hovering impatiently for us to go downstairs.
"Alice and Emmett are probably going to jump us for details. We could always escape through the window for a few hours. And recreate last night…"
"As wonderful as that sounds, I would love nothing more that to show you off." Dallas said proudly. Bringing me up with him, we changed to enter our beautiful and blessed future.
Downstairs we were met with expectant faces. Alice instantly ran over and squealed. "I knew I was right! And I didn't even have a vision!"
Laughter rang throughout the room.
50 years later
It's been fifty years since we left Volgograd, Russia. We were now living in Winnipeg, Canada and so far, it was my favorite location. It was extremely cold for an unusual amount of time. There was some sun, but we lived in a remote enough area that it didn't really affect us. Carlisle was the only one to get a job, grave yard shift at the hospital.
Dallas and I were still going strong, married in fact. I hadn't been happier. Every once in a while, my mind would drift off and think of Edward. Mostly, I was curious as to where he was, what he was doing and if he ever moved on. I hope he did, even though what he did to me was wrong, he deserves to be happy.
Esme missed him so much, she had tried to find him at the Denali clan in Alaska but Irina ((AN: Irina isn't dead, Eclipse and BD obviously didn't happen in this story.)) said he left only a few years of staying with them. Tanya left with him, though I couldn't understand that. Edward always seemed annoyed by her constant lingering. Whatever, it's none of my concern.
Just then, Emmett walking into the living room excited. "Isabella! Wanna have a hunting war?! We haven't done that in a while!"
"Ha. Sure, let's go." I kiss Dallas goodbye and leave with Emmett. When Emmett beat his Rock Band game, he was bored and thought of this new game of hunting. It was a two player 'game' where the players would have to hunt any kind of animal, just no elk, and feed from it. But you couldn't kill the animal by force. Sounds stupid I know, but it was actually a lot of fun.
"Okay, I take the left, and you can have the right. First one to 2 kills wins."
"Prepare to lose Emmett!" I smile before taking off. I hear him shouting after me.
"No powers Isabella!!!"
Ha. None needed I could do this with my eyes closed. Eyeing a cougar, I stand a mere ten or fifteen feet away. It notices me, and begins to growl. Taking a few slow steps back, I feign fear. It seems to sense the false fear and boldly steps forward. I slowly turn around and as I sense it closing in on me and I make a run for it, only slightly faster than human pace.
I can't help but thinking how ironic this is. The prey stalking the predator. And the prey thinks it has a chance, not today. Letting this game play out for a few more minutes, I jump so now I'm landing behind the cougar. It doesn't take notice of the sudden change and presses forward with a stronger tenacity before skidding to a halt.
I can tell Emmett has been through this area, so I reroute back to the right side of the forest with the cougar chasing me again. Deciding I'm finished with our little dance, I find a boulder up ahead. Slowing even further, I don't jump over it until the last second. Waiting for the inevitable I hear a loud thud. I walk over to survey the damage, and the cougar is no more.
Taking in my prize, I follow through with similar tactics for the remaining kill. Succeeding, I go back to the starting place where we were supposed to meet at. Emmett's scent is starting to dissipate so I guess I won. Now I have one more thing to rub in his face! Playing with my wedding ring, I think a private celebration of my win is in order with Dallas.
Strangely, I hear a series of footprints. Three vampires are approaching, one I recognize as Emmett. One is familiar but I can't quite place it, and the other is completely new. They must be friendly, I'm glad. Some 'new blood' could liven things up.
With Emmett leading the way, the three figures come into view. Upon seeing them, I think I could throw up and die of a heart attack. Good thing that's not possible anymore. They come to a stop in front of me. Topaz eyes bore into mine. I can't break his gaze or his overpowering hold on me. I pay little attention to the female at his side until she possessively takes his hand in a jealous claim.
I smile at her insecurity. I can tell things will definitely become very interesting very fast.
"Look who I found while hunting Isabella! Well smashed into is more likely." Emmett chuckled.
Letting go of his mate's hand the familiar man walks up to me and reaches for mine. "Hello Bella."
((AN: Muahahaha. I told you he was coming back! Prepare for some drama! Hopefully I can update by Thursday the latest. I've been slacking on my other stories so I need to give them some TLC. So, review! And hope you like it!))
