Hi again. I just hope you like this chapter. It didn't actually take me that long. I've been sneezing all morning. Enjoy.

Edward's POV

We just stood there, monitoring his every move. With every staggering step he took towards the sunlight, the higher the danger was. Finally, Bella decided what to do. She took a large stride away from us and towards the sunlit road. She was sending me thoughts.

Distract the humans. I need to cross the road without attracting attention.

I turned away and glanced anxiously at Alice who had already stepped forwards towards the first humans who were appearing on the sidewalk from the nearby shops. They were observing curiously the large bulk of Demetri. Alice walked up to them and they connected the similarities. These people were definitely not the shy kind.

"Who is that man over there?" they asked.

"He's our cousin." Alice lied smoothly.

"Oh, why is he so pale? Is he alright?"

"He's an albino." Guess that makes us albinos too, huh, Edward? Alice thought smugly.

"Ok. Um, who's the girl standing on the edge of the road? Is she a relative too?" I could hear why they were asking.

"Yes, she's our sister." Alice frowned.

They continued to pester Alice with questions but she didn't get tired. She just made sure she didn't give away too much information. I was keeping an eye on Bella out of my peripheral vision. She was putting her full attention on the dazed vampire at the other side of the road. She was teetering on the edge of the footpath, anxious to be put into sunlight. She took one more anxious glance at us. I nodded encouragingly and she took a step forward. Her face was suddenly covered in little sparkles and her arms were omitting a bright glow. She gasped and started to move faster, but not too fast. Bella seemed determined that she would not move faster than an old person walking down the street calmly. I sighed and listened to Alice instead.

These people are so annoying. When are they going to move?

I gave a non-committal shrug and continued watching Bella glitter her way across the road. She was now in the centre of it, keeping a close watch on Demetri who was stepping closer and closer towards the bright sunlight. The sun had chosen the worst day possible to decide to come out. If there had been no sun, we could have just easily walked over and grabbed him.

Then I saw it. A small truck came lumbering up the road at its highest speed, which was still pretty fast. Bella hadn't noticed it yet due to her undivided attention on Demetri. The car was going to hit Bella. But that was only half of what concerned me. If the truck did hit Bella, she could walk away unharmed, but it would leave considerable evidence that she was different.

But my protective instincts were stronger. Without fully realizing what I was doing, I was running towards her. As the car approached, I saw the whole thing as if it was put into slow motion. I looked behind the windscreen and saw the driver. He was leaning sideways; his hand was digging into his bag on the passenger seat. He hadn't noticed us until the very last second. He slammed on the brakes, but as I pulled Bella to the ground, the vehicle still lightly brushed my shoulders, leaving a sizeable dent in the front of it.

I pulled my disgruntled wife off the floor and we looked around. There were car fumes steadily unfurling, like a black snake to a hypnotizing tune, from the hood of the truck. The sound of the car's wheels screeching seemed to have brought Demetri out of his reverie and he was staring at us in astonishment. A second later, he was dashing down the footpath. I groaned and we both ran after him, leaving Alice to deal with the gathering people.

Edward! You're going to leave me here?!

I heard her voice echoing along the street. I could hear all the questions and answers that were being laid down by this crash.

"Why did you do that?" Bella asked from beside me, reminding me that she was there.

"You were going to get hit!" I said, appalled that she hadn't noticed.

"Well, I am immortal now right?" she said, as if uncertain.

I had to laugh. "It's a habit I guess."

She frowned, remembering the last time she had almost been in a car accident. We were running at vampire speed now. We passed lots of people who looked merely surprised at the sudden gushes of wind in their faces. I sensed someone was following us and I glanced around. I listened to the thoughts of everyone around us and heard who was following.

Beer or wine... which should we pick?

This dress is pretty.

Edward! Stop running so fast, I can't keep up in this car.

Alice. I looked around again and saw the front of my silver Volvo, trying very hard to pursue us. She was already driving really fast if she could catch up to us. I let my thoughts wander back to the present situation. Then, we saw Demetri's hulking figure in front of us, running as fast as his vampire strength allowed.

Bella's POV

Sigh. I was a vampire; immortal. But Edward still found it necessary to rescue me. I didn't mind that much. I understood why he did it. I just felt a little disgruntled to be rescued from a truck again; déjà vu. I appreciated it all the same.

Edward was glancing around. So when he looked back, I did as well. On the second time, I saw his silver Volvo following us. Alice was driving it most precariously and was trying very hard to keep up with vampire speed.

We were running down this footpath for ages. I'd stopped noticing humans' bewildered faces at the unexpected wind and a flash of colour. I kept on expecting to get tired and being forced to rest, but it wasn't necessary in this body. I let out a suppressed laugh once, when I saw a little girl's gob smacked face when we whooshed past her. I thought she might have seen us but we were nothing but flashing colours. Finally, we saw Demetri's silhouette up ahead. He was slowing down but not because he was tired. We had run through half of Port Angeles already. He slowed down so dramatically that I was afraid we would run past him. It was half past one when we caught up to him. We were in the secluded shade of a convenience store on the edge of Port Angeles. Edward grabbed his shoulders and slowly stopped him.

"Demetri, stop it!" I half-cried out.

He stopped struggling after a while and we waited for Alice to appear with the car. She appeared a few minutes later, looking rather pestered as she shoved Demetri into the back seat of the car. We arrived home a while later, driving as fast as Alice had. Aro was waiting patiently in the living room and he looked up expectantly when we walked in, with Demetri being pushed in by Alice.

"Ah! Demetri, we were just wondering when you were coming back." Aro called across the room.

"Yes master." Demetri replied rather meekly.

I looked around the room, and noticed several changes. Renesmee was playing chess with Charlie who was screwing up his face in concentration, determined not to lose against his granddaughter. Nessie was already super smart; she seemed to consider this chess game as a relaxation from thinking. On the contrary, Charlie appeared to be using every ounce of brainpower he possessed in this field of knowledge to win. Rosalie was watching Emmett verse Jane in arm wrestling. Emmett looked so confident that he would win against her. But Jane was also very confident. In fact she was beaming a lot. I gave her a warning glance but she gave me a look that clearly said: Don't worry. I'm not doing anything.

Aro went outside to talk to his guard again and Alice hopped over to where Jasper was sitting, talking to Alec. I walked over to Charlie and Renesmee and sat down to watch their chess game.

"Hey kiddo, I'm playing chess here." Charlie said.

"I've noticed." I said happily.

The moods in the rooms were lifted again. The Volturi would soon be leaving, hopefully without any more trouble.

But we can't always get what we want…

Liked it? I'm gonna need you people's help again. I actually have no idea what should happen. I just wanted the story to continue a little longer. If you don't want it to. Then, I'll consider putting an end to it. RIght now, Im gonna need ur reviews! IDEAS!

THANKS FOR READING AND REVIEW!!!
