A/N- Now I've been gone for a long time, but now I'm back. I've recently come into possession of a laptop, so I'm back in the game. With a mixture of writers block and bad timing, I've just been unable to update. So here is the long awaited update. I'm not making promises but I'm sure I will be able to update once a week.
Bella's Point Of View
"Bella, stay here," his voice final and undeniably resolute; but it didn't sway me from my decision. I opened my mouth to protest, but he placed his icy finger on my lip silencing me. "Bella, please Bella please. Stay here. I can't protect you and fight them off. I just got you and I can't lose you again." His golden eyes bore holes into mine.
No matter how much I wanted to deny him; to be stubborn and demand that I go with him I knew I had to stay.
"I'll stay." My voice broke; the fear that he wouldn't come back was stuck in my throat. I didn't know what the presence of this other coven would entail, but I was sure it wasn't going to be a friendly fight. His eyes closed slowly and he sighed; leaning down he kissed me. I could feel the fear and the desperation; he accepted this he knew what he was going to do. So with a determined walk he left me in the room to wait in anticipation. I could hear the sound of the snarls rumbling through the air; Edward's was more distinct.
"I see you have another human addition, she smells lovely." A man spoke with a heavy French accent. I heard a loud growl and only assumed it was Carlisle.
"Don't you dare touch her before I…"
"Carlisle," Edward interrupted him in a warning tone.
"Right, I apologize; your presence here is unwelcomed; you may leave without a fight." Carlisle's voice smoothed over the silent tense air.
"We seek the human. It was my prey, I deserve her blood," I paled at the voice, distinctly male, his voice menacing the exact tone he took before he attempted to take my life. "She's MINE." he snarled.
"You are mistaken, she may have been your target at one point but she is mine. You are in our territory, and if you wish to stay intact I suggest you leave." Edward said.
"We shall not leave until…"
"The human, I can smell her. She's here is she not? You live, you rule over vampires and humans. This one human is a snack you can give up. Show kindness, feed your citizens. Your rules are hard to maintain in this land, we starve." This voice was female; harsh but beautiful. Murmurs of agreement followed what she said.
Carlisle spoke again, "We will not change the hunting laws. We prohibit the killings of women and children in our region. You're standing firm in violating our laws; we understand the need and the thirst so we will let you leave without persecution. Now it is final, leave the grounds and you all will be spared."
There was series of growls, then a sound of rushing air.
I sat in silence waiting with bated breath not sure of what to do, or what to think. Then the double doors crashed open and Edward glided toward me enveloping me in his arms and pecking me with light quick kisses on my face, and neck.
"Marry me." He said.
"What?" I gasped. He released me and laid me down on the bed, hovering over me. His lips trailed down my collarbone to the valley between my breasts. My skin was on fire, cooled by the icy kisses that were sending shocks through my veins.
"Marry me, be my bride. Marry me." He said again breathless, his kisses were becoming more serious. His hands were roaming my sides sliding over my arms, my legs.
I didn't know what to think his touches were driving me crazy. So much has happened; my body has gone through so many emotional reactions; changing from fear to anticipation, then back to fear and now this desire that was consuming my entire body. We had to stop; we have to talk about this.
"Edward, stop please. I need a moment to think about this."
"Why all you have to say is yes," his tone teasing, continuing his assault on me.
"But this is so sudden, I mean we just met and.." he cut me off with a searing kiss on the lips.
"But..we..um..who..huh?" I babbled. Edward laughed.
"Why shouldn't we? I'm all you want and you're all I want. Vampires only love one person in their entire existence. My body is calling for you Bella." His voice was husky.
In a moment my heart was hammering in my chest. I couldn't resist, I pressed my lips roughly to his, grabbing onto him; before I knew it we were flipped over, my legs straddling him. He growled into the kiss, his chest vibrating, sending delicious waves of pleasure through my core.
I gasped releasing him, "Are you sure?" I asked breathlessly.
"I never wanted anything more in my entire life." He smirked. Then with a playful smile he pulled me under the sheets.
Edward's Point Of View (Next Day)
She said yes. The impossibility is now a possibility, the dream is now a reality. I am to be wed to Isabella Marie Swan. Years of loneliness and depression, changed in a matter of days. The vampire's claim over her angered me; she wasn't his, she was mine. But what is that but a mere proclamation, no weight to it what so ever, just my word against his. My body called to her in more ways than one, and I wanted to hear her claim me as hers as well. Whether she knew it or no, I was hers from the moment I saw her.
"Edward, Bella!" Alice called from the hall. My angel stirred below me, stretching; her paled skin shining from the streaming sun. She yawned, her voice coming out in a squeak.
"Good morning." she said lazily.
The night before was bittersweet; I was all too ready to consume my love and have her in every way possible. Yet I couldn't morally consent to it, and neither could she. Her virtue as well as mine was not to be tarnished. We decided to wait until after we were married to consummate the relationship. The matter of whether she was to be changed was at an impasse. I didn't want to doom her to this lifestyle, to take away everything, take away her possibilities of bearing a child, and so many other human experiences. Yet I couldn't deny that I needed her and I wanted her to be my wife.
The problem with the other coven was also another problem. They would return, Alice's previous vision didn't occur yet she still saw the same horrific scene from time to time. It seems that James had a friend with him who fled when he saw my destruction of James. This alarmed us, the possibility of another psychic was dangerous; we would be at more of a risk, without knowledge of how his abilities worked it left us blind. So we decided to handle his abilities as if it were Alice's. Her vision still ended with our demise and we had to find a way to change it. The air is becoming colder, people were recognizing the change. How much longer will it be until it begins to snow? How much will we be able to change, and with this newly discovered coven member, how will things play out? He didn't appear in the Alice's vision; is it because she can't see him or is he playing a different, more inconspicuous role. Whatever it is we need to figure it and find a way to remove the threat, to find a way protect my love.
A/N- Well there we go. Expect an update sometime soon
