Hey everyone!

Sorry it has been so long since I updated this story :(

There is a bit in this chapter where Bella is having a conversation with Alice. Once you've read it, if you want to hear the whole version then say so in your review and I'll send it to you, or the whole conversation can be read in 'I'm Not Exactly Human'.

Anyway, on with the story :D

You Did Great, Edward

The common room was packed with students when we arrived back, making it easy to slip in unnoticed.

"We're going to start packing," I whispered to Bella as Rose and Emmett vanished up the stairs. "Find them and tell them what you have to but make sure you're not over heard and then meet us in your room."

With that, I, too, ran quickly up the stairs.

After packing my things at Vampire speed, I stepped into Bella's room to find Rose already starting to pack Bella's belongings. With the two of us, we were finished by the time Emmett came into the room.

"We're using flu powder?" he asked, glancing over his shoulder at the fire place.

I nodded, "It's less suspicious."

He nodded in agreement just as Bella came into the room. After Bella saw that we'd packed everything she wanted, Rose stepped toward the fire place and grabbed the green powder.

"Cullen Mansion, Forks," she stated before erupting into a large green fire. Emmett followed quickly after her.

Bella looked at me expectantly but I shook my head, "I'm not leaving you here by yourself."

She nodded and stepped toward the fire.

"I love you," I told her just before she too vanished.

As soon as she did, I stepped into the fire and repeated Rose's earlier works, "Cullen Mansion, Forks."

I arrived just in time to see Rose and Bella smiling at each other but my gaze stayed on Bella. She glanced around the room and something flashed across her face that I couldn't read, but as I glanced around the room I could guess. This house brought back some amazing memories of finally having found the one I'd love for the rest of my life.

Three days after arriving at the house and Bella and I sat comfortably on the couch in the living room. My head was in her lap and her soft fingers were running through my hair. I was happy to find that I was almost able to block out Rose and Emmett upstairs in their room if I concentrated hard enough on Bella.

Just then, there was a tapping sound on the window and I instantly ran at vampire speed over to open it. Hedwig, Bella's owl, flew inside clutching the copy of The Daily Profit that we'd been so anxiously waiting for. Emmett and Rose came quickly down the stairs as Bella began reaching for the paper attached to the bird's foot. Once it was free, the owl flew back out the window and disappeared into the sky.

All four of us crowded around the couch as Bella opened the newspaper. She seemed slightly surprised at what she saw and I soon saw why. The front page of the Daily Profit contained a large picture of Bella taken by McGonagall after our last Quidditch match.

I glanced down and read the article below it, realizing that after three days, they'd finally noticed our disappearance.

With Albus Dumbledore's funeral only a few days away the teachers at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have been putting most of their time into preparing. It wasn't until Minerva McGonagall, the school's Deputy Headmistress and Head of Gryffindor House, checked in with her house that the well known Isabella (Bella) Swan was found missing.

Ms. Swan is believed to have disappeared along with three other students, her boyfriend Edward Cullen and friends Emmett Cullen and Rosalie Hale, whose parents both work at Hogwarts, the same day as Dumbledore died. Despite this, all four students have only recently been discovered missing and the Ministry of Magic is still unaware of their whereabouts.

"It took them long enough," Emmett stated in obvious amusement.

As Rose's hand connected with the back of his head, I continued reading.

Ms. Swan was the only Hogwarts student mentioned in Albus Dumbledore's will and is believed to have been one of his favorite students. The items, however, will be kept with in the Ministry of Magic until she and the other missing students are found. It is suspected that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is behind the disappearances as well as Dumbledore's death.

"They think Voldemort took us?" Bella asked, sounding surprised.

"He has been after you for years," Rose pointed out to her. "The fact that you disappeared the same day Dumbledore died is a bit suspicious. They may think Voldemort finally defeated Dumbledore and took you in the process."

Bella nodded in thought, "It is possible."

Suddenly, the house phone rang, interrupting us. We glanced at each other in surprise and confusion for a second before I reached over and picked it up.

"Hello?" I asked cautiously.

"Hello Edward. Let me talk to Bella," I was relieved to hear Alice's voice on the other end and quickly handed the phone over to Bella.

"Hello?" she asked in clear confusion.

I couldn't quite hear Alice's voice responding.

"Oh," Bella said, all confusion gone. "Hey Alice."

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Emmett and Rose relax at the mention of Alice.

"Ok," Bella said after another moment of silence.

Alice spoke again before Bella asked her a question, "Who is it?"

There was another pause before Bella spoke again, "I thought so. Will this put you in danger?"

Will what put them in danger? I heard Rose think.

Alice must have answered because Bella looked more relaxed and her reply was, "Good."

Alice asked something else.

"Yes. I would have thought you made up an excuse for my disappearance," Bella stated.

"That's probably a good idea," Bella agreed with Alice moments later.

Brief pause before Bella asked, "Yes?"

Suddenly, Bella blinked and turned to look at me.

"Uh…" I stared at her, wondering what Alice had said. "We haven't decided."

"I'll talk to you later," Bella spoke again after another pause. "I have to talk to Edward."

I stared at Bella in confusion as she hung up the phone saying, "I will."

"What did Alice want?" Emmett beat me in asking first.

"The Ministry has decided to appoint Snape as the new headmaster," she told us solemnly.

"Just like we thought," Rose sighed.

Bella nodded.

"What did you need to talk to me about?" I asked curiously.

"Alice wanted to know when you plan to change me," Bella stated simply.

I could feel Emmett, Rose and Bella's eyes on me as I made my decision.

"Tomorrow," I finally decided, knowing it had to happen as soon as possible. "I'll change you tomorrow."

Bella smiled and nodded before stepping closer to me, "It looks like I'm finally getting what I wanted since the very first moment I discovered what you were."

I briefly registered Rose and Emmett's disappearance but wasn't paying them much attention.

I smiled at her and brought her into my arms, kissing her forehead.

"Tomorrow," I bent down to whisper softly in her ear. "We begin forever."

Then, I bent down to kiss her, showing her how much I loved and needed her.

From the other side of the room, Rose spoke.

"Are you sure you want this?" she asked Bella softly.

Bella's eyes slowly drew away from mine to look at her. Today was the day I was going to change Bella and Rose was just making sure Bella wasn't going to regret this.

Bella smiled at her, "Yes Rose I'm sure."

Rose returned the smile with a small, sad one of her own, "Ok."

Emmett's arm wrapped around her shoulder and she leaned into him. Emmett, too, was smiling at the two of us.

Don't mess this up, Rose warned me.

I didn't outwardly acknowledge what she said but I was currently telling myself the exact same thing.

Bella lay down on the bed in front of me and our eyes locked.

"I trust you," she murmured as I lay down next to her.

"I know," I breathed into her ear as I moved to lean over her, making her shiver slightly.

I kissed her neck and sucked in a sharp breath, relishing in the burn at the back of my throat for the last time.

"I love you," she whispered softly.

I turned my head slightly to look at her with sad eyes, knowing that if I messed up this would be the last time she ever said it.

"I love you too," I murmured back.

Then, slowly, I lowered my teeth towards her neck and broke the skin.

I didn't notice Bella wince or her cry of pain as I began to inject my venom as I was too concentrated on the taste of her blood.

"Edward," Emmett spoke sternly behind me.

That was the moment I realized what I was doing and quickly broke away to look at Bella. Her face was scrunched into a grimace and I had to look away again. Quickly, I bit both her wrists and ankles, making sure to only inject venom rather then suck out her blood.

As I finally stepped away, Emmett's hand came to rest on my shoulder, "You did great, Edward."

You did, Rose agreed silently.

I nodded to her, giving her a forced smile before lying back down next to Bella was starting to twitch slightly in pain.

I stayed in the same position for three days.

There is the latest chapter!

Hopefully the next one will be out quickly.

Review,
