A/N: Hey everyone! Sorry this chapter's so short. I felt like I needed to end it here because of things that are going to happen in the next chapter. I promise to update soon. I also wanted to let everyone know that I posted a new story today on my profile called Road trip.
Here's the summary: Edward, my vampire boyfriend, and Jacob, my werewolf best friend, both of whom are madly in love with me, riding together in the same car with me for days. Shit.

Chapter 14
Edward's POV:
My phone vibrated in my pocket and without reducing my speed, I pulled it open and put it to my ear so fast Bella wasn't even able to see it.
"What?" I asked, my voice filled with more venom then necessary. My anxiety over Bella's safety had put me in a foul mood.
"Edward?" Carlisle's calm voice asked. "What happened to you?"
I glanced over to see if Bella was paying attention before speaking.
"There were other vampires at the house Carlisle and I had Bella with me," I explained, speaking to quickly for Bella to hear. "I didn't think she would be safe there."
"I see," he muttered.
Something about the tone in his voice was off.
"Was my judgment incorrect?" I wondered, thinking back to the event.
"That has yet to be determined. It would appear they have been hunting animals but not for long and I have no idea what level of self control they possess. I think it would be wise to keep Bella away from here for a while."
"Okay Carlisle, just try to keep an eye on them for me."
"Of course," he agreed.
"Thanks. Can you put Alice on the phone for me?"
There was no audible sound as the phone passed from one vampire to the next.
"Edward?" Alice's musical voice rang through the phone.
"How's Bella's future?" I asked worriedly, glancing over at her pale, fragile face as I spoke.
Alice paused. "It's fine right now, Edward, but that's only because you have every intention of driving her to…well I don't know where because you keep changing your mind."
I frowned, just the slightest change in my expression and I saw Bella glance over at me.
"What do you mean?"
"Three days from now you're still driving with her Edward, like you're trying to run away. Edward what's going on with you and Bella?" Curiosity stood out in every word that she spoke.
"I want to keep her safe. Is that wrong?" I asked, a little defensively.
"Edward, if this was any other person you would take them away and leave them somewhere safer. You wouldn't go through such lengths to protect them," she pointed out rationally. "So what's going on? Do you…do you like her?"
"Of course not Alice," I lied. "I've only known her for two days."
"That doesn't change anything, Edward. Haven't you ever heard of love at first sight?" She asked, sounding a little eager at the prospect of me liking Bella.
"Alice I'm not in love with Bella,' I lied yet again.
Alice paused on the other line.
"Oh my god! You are such a liar!" She squealed. "I just saw your future and it's sooo cute! You do like Bella."
I heard whispers on the other line and then Alice was back as happy as ever.
"You told Jasper to lie to me!" She scolded. "Jasper can know you have feelings for her and I cant?"
"Well I didn't tell him willingly!"
"So you admit it!" Alice squealed, victorious.
"Alice can we talk about this later?" I asked, changing the subject to the more important matter at hand. "What about the possibly dangerous vampires in the area?"
Alice sighed. "Well, Jaspers kept them relatively calm although there really wasn't any need. They were pretty calm already. I can't see anything immediate in the future because they haven't decided anything and you still have no intentions of letting them get close to Bella at all. They don't seem to be a threat."
"Fine. But call me as soon as you see something Alice," I shot one more glance at Bella's face which now wore a contemplative and puzzled expression. "And watch out for Bella, please."
"Of course! She's like my sister and your soul mate Edward!" Alice sang happily, not really bothered by the vampires sudden appearance.
I hung up the phone and shook my head trying to clear it.
Vampires stopped by all the time; it was never usually a big deal. So what the hell was wrong with me? It's not possible to like someone so much in only two days. So why did I feel this way? Why did I feel like I might be falling in love with her? Why did I feel the sudden need to protect her no matter what? I couldn't be falling in love with her…could I? Not after two days.
I glanced over at Bella yet again and I noticed that she was staring at me, mixed emotions etched across her face.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
She met my gaze and sighed.
"You forgot to think in Russian."
