Bella's POV

I knew we had stopped running when the wind stopped whistling in my ear and hair. I released my loose grip on Edwards's neck and got off of his back with out falling. I moved so I was facing him and stood on my tippy toes to kiss him full on the mouth. He was a little shocked but he recovered quickly and put himself into the kiss.

"You know, I think I like it when you're being spontaneous and optimistic." He told me. I lightly kissed him again.

"Well, I finally know that I have what I want and I can enjoy him for eternity. I don't have to worry about loosing him now." I looked up into his eyes hoping I got the message through. His face held a grin.

"

This HIM that we are talking about, that better be me." He chuckled.

"Why of course." I said and leaned in for another kiss.

Edward was going to make it go farther but the gigantor named Emmett interrupted us by picking me up and running me to the other side of the meadow.

"You two are going to stay away from each other. If we don't separate you, you two will never part you lips. And that would make me sad because you guys wont let me and rose stay like that. Bella stay where you are, and Edward don't move or I'll pummel you. Got it?" he said all of these as commands, with no hesitation.

I laughed up at my big brother and hugged him tight. He softened beneath my touch thinking all was forgiven until I pushed him away with a lot of force. His body flew across the meadow and broke a poor defenseless tree. I walked over to him, grabbed his hand and pulled him up. Everyone started laughing when I patted the tree and said sorry to it. I ran back over to husband and lightly touched his lips. His hand found mine when we broke apart.

I squeezed it when the tension in the are got strong. They were coming.

"So we are here to discuss what exactly?" Edwards's voice went monotone and deep. Sam must be talking.

Carlisle stepped out in front of the family. "Thank you for coming. We need to discuss the treaty, whether things end up changing or not." While he talked to them I counted.

1,2…6…11,12…15. They had grown quite a bit since the last time, and that was minus the shaggy one, my previous friend.

"15" I breathed to Edward. He shook his head and pointed to the tree line. I looked into the darkness of the forest and spotted at least four or five more pair of eyes.

Wow. They had grown more than I thought. It's because of me! I thought to myself. They are protecting their town because of me.

I glanced up at Edward. His eyes were pained, like the thoughts of the wolves were bad. I rubbed soothing circles on the back of his hand with my thumb. Just like he did not so long ago to me.

"Edward do you mind if I talk to them?" I whispered.

He shook his head and tried to give me a warm smile. My body moved itself to the middle of the field before I had even realized that I had taken a step. I took a deep unneeded breath before I began, in hops the shaking would stop. Edward positioned himself behind me, rubbing my arms and humming my lullaby. I started to calm down.

"Umm… like Carlisle said thank you for coming." I swallowed hard. "We do need to talk about the treaty but first I would like to give you some back ground knowledge on why I chose this life. I know you're all wondering this because Edward ponders on it all the time." I saw some heads nod so I continued.

"The reason I moved to Forks in the first place was because my mom had recently gotten remarried to a guy named Phil. I liked him but he is a baseball player and that caused him to have to travel a lot. When I saw how difficult it was for my mom to be without him I decided I could make life easier on her and move in with my dad. I hated this place. I really did. When I got here I couldn't sleep because of all the rain, it was so different. My first day of school I saw these wonderful people. I asked people about them and everyone said that they don't socialize with others." I winked at my family and got back into my story.

"My first impression of Edward was that he was beautiful and looked nice. The first part didn't change and wont. But when I went to biology I changed my mind on nice. I thought I had done something to make him mad. He didn't come back for a week. I blamed my self." Edward put his arms around me and whispered "I'm sorry for that my love"

"When he warmed back up, I fell hard for him. He was like my missing half. That's why when he left for my well being I broke to pieces. Sam, I know you hate me for going back to them, that you finally thought I had a reason to hate them as much as you do. But even when he, they, left, I still loved him. Still do in fact. The reason I went cliff diving with out Jake was because I could hear Edward in my head." My voice shook with emotion.

"I love him, his family, his irrevocable love that we share. I chose this, I made him do this, I ruined their lifestyle more than once and I am the reason he almost killed himself." Tears were streaming down my face when I stopped. " Please try to understand that its love that does this. That if you want to kill them or destroy them, you know do that to me too. It's all because of a measly humans blood and her love." I turned and hugged Edward with all of my might.

His body relaxed and embraced me too. He then went stiff.

"Bella, we need to talk as a pack. There are a few here that think they might understand." Edwards went still. I looked up and saw his face contorted with pain and anger.

"NO! You changed her, you filthy bloodsucker! I'll kill you if it's the last thing I do!" I turned in Edward's arms only to see Jake run and phase. He charged at me. I could tell that he was going full speed on anger and hurt. Edward pushed me away and crouched down.

I was livid. How dare he do this now? The rest of the Cullens went into protective stance around us.

I felt my body go hard as I ran and crouched in from of my husband. My body arched ready to lunge. Jake jumped and landed behind me and beside Edward. His mouth open at the neck of my everything. Edwards's hands were tangled in his fur.

Before I knew what I was doing my hands were on Jake's body; I pulled him off Edward and threw him across the meadow. I could sense the pack and our family tense up, preparing to intervene if need be.

I ran up and grabbed Jake. His breathing was ragged and he had a gash on his stomach from when I threw him. His eyes were sad. You used to be my best friend. You used to care about me. Why cant you just let me be? I thought to him.

I sat down and pulled his body into my lap. My hands inspected his wound and his nose wrinkled. Probably due to my sickly sweet smell.

"Jake," I whispered. "I'm not sorry." I told him. He was shaking only a little now. He got up from my lap and gave me a look before bounding into the forest. I looked to my family. Edward looked like he was contemplating on something.

"He say, he loves you Bella. And to never forget him. He wont be coming back." I looked at his face, unharmed. Tears were building in my eyes and surprised me when they fell. My glance traveled to the pack and I mentally counted only twelve. I knew Jacob, they wouldn't catch him. He was never coming back. I took a breath, feeling a wave of calm come over me. Edward stretched his hands out to help me up, I took them.

"I'm sorry you had to see that. I'm sorry for all of the pain I've caused you. I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry…" my voice was cut off by an angry Alice.

"Isabella Marie Swan Masen. Don't you dare apologize to him or any of us for that matter." She walked towards me and Edward squeezed my hands. "You," she was quiet. "You are the best thing to ever happen to my brother, to any of us. You may have caused more trouble to us in past year or so," I grimaced. " But you have made Edward happy, he's smiling and laughing more than he has in 100 years. You're his everything as he is yours. You two were made for each other just a few years later. Believe me I know." She tapped her temple and we all laughed. Rosalie stepped froward.

"Stop blaming yourself. I'm the only one who is allowed to blame you."

"Bella you're part of the family." Emmett said.

"So get used to it." Jasper smacked me on the back. They were lecturing me on being sorry.

"I can't promise that. I'll try but no guarantees." I told them a bit ashamed.

"When is there anything guaranteed with you?" Rose scoffed.

"Can we go home now?" I really wanted to just leave. To just relax in my bed with Edward holding me.

The wolves must have left some where in the middle of the lectures because they were no where to be found now.

I gasped when I saw Alice's face. She was having a vision no doubt about it. We all looked to Alice for answers but it was Edward who talked.

"The votroli have decided to make an appearance. They are leaving in a week. Marcus, Caius and Jane are all coming." His voice went softer. "We can leave now. You guys go home Bella needs to hunt." Now that he mentioned it I could feel the itch in the back of my throat making its way into my mind.

I could sense Edward behind me whispering some instructions to me. My body took over; I could feel my eyes glaze over and the venom fill my mouth until it was dripping down my chin. My back arched and my senses heightened even more. It was like a document was playing in my head.

"Deer 3 miles west; elk 2 miles southwest." My body knew where everything was. The elk sparked interest and more thirst. I lunged into a run, with only it on my mind. The trees were everywhere but I some how missed them.

When the animal came into my view I slowed down and got into a crouch. Being quite is essential he said. The elk was eating fresh grass when I sprung on him. I felt myself bite down on its fleshy neck, its blood cooling the burn of my throat. It was an acquired taste, one that I didn't know I had. Filling myself up my surroundings came to. Edward was sitting up in a tree with his legs dangling down watching me. When I was done I looked up questioningly at Edward. I was scared and disgusted. I just drank blood. I just killed a poor animal. I had no idea where to put the body. I couldn't leave it out people would find it.

"No worries love. I've already dug a hole for it. Just stay where you are." He jumped down from the trees and picked up the elk.

He ran towards the trees again and came back with a little dirt on his shirt. My fingers found his and he raise our intertwined hands to my face. He wiped something off and brought it to his mouth. I could tell then that I had blood on my face and he was cleaning it off. My other hand brushed the dirt off of his shirt. With our hands still together we started walking back to our home.

The whole way I was thinking it was probably dangerous to stay close to forks that we should move soon. Glancing up at Edward I got lost in his eyes and didn't realize that we had gotten so close to town. We were just off the road. People picnic here was my thought when I ran into a body. I looked up at the person. It was Angela. My body went ridged and Edward pulled on my arm trying to move me but I wouldn't budge. I wanted Angela. The venom in my mouth started to coat my throat.
