Enough of my jabbering! Here's another chappy!

Ashlyn's POV

I slipped through the window and landed soundlessly in his room. I could hear his soft breathing as he slept. I gazed at his still form and slowly sat down in a chair a couple feet away.

I examined the coffee table and picked up a picture that sat there. Bella, Clay, Charlie and a woman that must have been Clay's mother were sitting on a picnic blanket in a small clearing. I recognized it immediately. It was the park where we'd just been that evening. The picture must have been a couple years old. Bella was younger, her features were more childish, as were Clay's. Charlie's hair didn't have quite as much gray as it did now.

As I stared at the picture,Clay began stirring. I set the picture down and returned my gaze to the man before me.

He turned a couple times, and then, to my sock and surprise, sat up!

He looked at me for a couple seconds and then rubbed his eyes.

"Oh great," he moaned. "I spend a couple hours with her and I start imagining she's here!"

I smiled and walked over to the bed. I sat down on the edge and touched my fingers to his cheek. "Clay." I whispered. His head shot up.

"You're really here?" Shock was in his deep blue eyes as I nodded. He turned away from and I frowned.

"Do you want me to leave?" I whispered. He shook his head, but still wouldn't look at me. Finally he spoke.

"Why are you here?"

I was a little taken back. Did he not want me here? I sighed.

"I wanted to see why Edward always watched Bella sleep. And now I know why. It's amazing." I said with a smile. He laughed.

"Sooo you're not here to seduce me?" I couldn't keep back my laughter.

"No!" I choked out in between laughs. He smiled.

"Good. You had me worried there for a minute." He sighed picking up my hand. He played with my fingers and I couldn't help but stare at him in wonder and awe. He caught me looking and gave me a confused look.

"What?"

I shook my head. "I'm waiting for you to realize that I'm dangerous and run away screaming."

He laughed once. "Sorry but that's not gonna happen. You know why?" I shook my head slowly. "Because I love you." He said softly. He leaned in and brushed his lips against mine.

I know I shouldn't have done it, but I leaned in and kissed him fully on the lips and he kissed me back. His arms snaked around my waist and my fingers knotted in his hair. We kissed each other with all the passion we had in us. He laid back pulling me with him. That's when I knew we had to stop. The burn was too much for me to take.

I ripped our lips apart and ran to the other side of the room. He sat up and looked at me with confusion.

"We can't do this," I said motioning to the bed with my hand. His forehead wrinkled in thought.

"Why?"

I smirked. "Were you not paying attention when we were at the park?"

He still looked confused and I groaned. I walked over and sat down on the very edge of his bed.

"Clay," I sighed. "If I made one wrong move, it could kill you instantly. I could merely mean to stroke your cheek and crush your face instead."

For the first time that night horror flashed across Clay's face. But he recovered quickly.

"You would never hurt me," he insisted.

"Not intentionally."

He didn't say anything, but picked my hand up and once again played with my fingers.

After a few moments of silence he spoke.

"I said it once and I'll say it again; I trust you." I looked into his clear blue eyes. I felt as though I was drowning in their depth and I couldn't get out. I finally tore myself away for them and sighed.

"You should probably get some sleep." I got off the bed and headed toward the window. I felt a warm hand curl around my wrist and I turned only to find myself once again gazing into Clay's eyes.

"Stay," he pleaded. "I'll behave, I promise."

I looked at him, then the open window, and back at him. I breathed in and out deeply. I walked over to the window and closed it. I walked over to the bed and laid down next to Clay. I found myself cuddling closer to him and he wrapped his arms around me.

"You won't get cold?" I asked softly. He shook his head and traced my lips with his finger.

"I'm perfect as long as you don't go anywhere."

I smiled and buried my head in his chest. His heart rate slowed and it was as if it was singing a soft lullaby to me.

Oh yes. I could definitely get used to this...

Ashlyn's POV

I screamed once again as the pain in my head increased.

"What's wrong with her, Carlisle?" Jasper cried. He held me in his arms as he brought me up to Carlisle's study. I heard a gasp as I was laid on the couch. I could feel fingers brushing against my forehead but all feeling was cut off as another pain pounded in my head.

I screamed once again. This was the worst pain yet. It would go away in a couple seconds. It had to!

Just then I heard a new voice. Only this one wasn't spoken aloud.

I told you we would find you Ashlyn. And now you're going to pay for it if you don't return to us!

There was one more pain and then everything was gone. It was quiet. No pain. No screaming. Silence.

"Ashlyn?" Jasper's worried voice broke the silence and my eyes flickered open.
