A/N: Last chapter I forgot to mention that Jennie is the reason I wrote in Renee's point of view. It was her idea, thanks!

The location in which the Cullens' are moving to, is fictional, I did this for my own reasons.

Disclaimer: I own nothing; it's all Ms. Meyer's.

Bella's Point of View

Edward had been driving for about forty minutes, and for the entire time we had been silently. I had my eyes closed, but I wasn't asleep. I figured Edward probably knew that, but was just letting me rest. However I suddenly wanted to have a conversation. I hadn't even bothered to find out where were moving to.

"Edward…" I said keeping my eyes shut.

"Yeah?" He responded with concern evident in his voice. I opened my eyes and turned my head towards him, and met his worried eyes.

"Please stop." I said slightly agitated. Everyone watched me like I was going to keel over and die, which I suppose could happen, but I was tired of everyone being constantly worried about me.

"Bella, I can't read your mind…what would you like me to stop doing?" He asked me kindly.

"Worrying." I said quietly. He took my hand in his.

"I'm sorry…but I can't do that, not yet anyways." He said sounding truly apologetic.

I sighed and looked up into his eyes, bad idea. He'd already won. He looked at me with those golden eyes, and just like that he was off the hook. A few moments passed in silence, as I watched the scenery around me whiz by. I turned my head to face Edward, his eyes were looking forward, that was shocking, he was actually watching the road.

"Where are we going?"

"The Bahamas." He replied simply. I let out a small 'yeah right' chuckle.

"Okay, fine, don't tell me where we're going." I said with a huff.

"Bella, I'm serious we're going to the Bahamas."

"Edward…" I said as if he were lying.

"Fine, don't believe me; you'll see when we get there anyways."

"Which will be when?" I asked as I repositioned my head on the pillow.

"A few hours, it takes a while to get to the Bahamas." Edward said, a smile in his voice.

"So, we're driving to the Bahamas?"

"Oh, so you believe me now." Edward said cockily.

"No, I didn't say I believed you, I simply asked a question, you see it seems odd to me that we would drive to the Bahamas." I explained.

"We'll have to get on a ferry in a few hundred miles."

"Alright, so hypothetically, let's say I believe you…" Edward's smile grew. "Hypothetically, how would your family live in the Bahamas, I mean it's sunny and all."

"Well hypothetically…" Edward said in the same tone I had used. "Sun doesn't harm us."

"Yes Edward, I know that…that wasn't what I meant." He continued to smile.

"Yeah, I know. We'll be on a deserted island."

"Are you joking with me?"

"No."

"So you are telling me that there is a completely deserted island in the Bahamas?"

"Well it's not technically considered part of the Bahamas, but its close."

"And what is this deserted island's name?" I asked going along with the story, at least for now.

"Sangue Island." He said. If I would have been drinking something I would have spit it out from the shock.

"Okay, now you are kidding." I said slightly annoyed.

"What ever are you talking about my dear?" Edward asked far too innocently.

"I took Italian smarty. I know that sangue is blood. There's no way we are moving to a place called Blood Island." I said. Edward chuckled.

"Okay, so I was kidding about that part, but we really are moving to an island…in the sun."

"Would you like to tell me what it's really called?"

"Arrilian Island." He said, and now I was starting to believe him. His big grin and turned to a nice normal one.

"That's a pretty name." I spoke as I thought it.

"Yeah, it really is." He pulled my hand towards his lips and gently kissed it, then placed our hands on my leg.

"So…I don't mean to sound like a four year old, but how soon…" I was stopped by a yawn, which caused Edward to look at me worriedly again. "I'm not going to sleep right now…how soon will we be there?" Edward sighed.

"Well, we should be to the ferry in about thirty minutes, but seeing as humans will be controlling the ferry it will be about two more hours."

"Hey, if this island is deserted, than I would assume that the ferry wouldn't take us to it."

"It won't." He claimed simply.

"Well then how are we going to get there? And won't it be bright where the ferry lets us off?"

"Carlisle has already made some phone calls, he bought a boat. We'll go to the docks, and take the boat to the island. As for the brightness and people seeing us, we won't have to worry about that."

"And why is that?" I asked quizzically.

"Because the ferry lets us off under an awning, and the entire walk to the docks is covered with tents."

"Seriously?" Edward nodded.

"Yup."

"Hmmm." I said thinking.

"I really wish I could read your thoughts." Edward said after a few minutes.

"Yeah, well sometimes we don't get what we wish for." I said jokingly, but Edward looked hurt. "What would you like to know?" I asked squeezing his hand gently. A small smile played at his lips.

"I would like to know what you are thinking about."

"Well that's very broad."

"How much could you possibly be thinking at one time?"

"You'd be surprised, I'm a very complex person." I said as another yawn escaped my lips.

"Oh, I know you're complex." He smiled half-heartedly. I knew he wanted me to go to sleep.

"I was just thinking about our days in the sun." I said smiling, Edward started smiling as well.

"We have wonderful memories." Edward added in.

"Yeah." I smiled, as I started to close my eyes. After a few moments Edward spoke.

"Thank you." He said quietly.

"For what?" I asked as I opened my eyes to read his expression.

"For telling me what you were thinking about." I just smiled in return, and closed my eyes again.

An hour later on the ferry.

Edward's Point of View

Bella had fallen asleep before we had even reached the ferry. I watched her intently as she slept. She looked so small. It pained me to see her this way. She always looked small, but ever since she had gotten sick, she seemed even smaller. All I wanted was for her to be okay again. Suddenly she started to move. As she opened her eyes she looked surprised.

"Where are we?" She asked, rubbing her eyes.

"On the ferry."

"What?" She asked stunned.

"You know, it's a boat…cars go on it…"

"I know what a ferry is, but why are we on it, it's not like we are really moving to Arrilian island." For a second there I thought she had forgotten our conversation from earlier.

"Well, if you don't want to believe me, you will see it soon."

"How soon?"

"A little over an hour." She nodded.

"Where is everyone else?" She asked quietly.

I pointed my family out to her and she followed my finger with her eyes, and realized that everyone was all here. I watched carefully as Bella sat up and stretched, moving her head back and forth, I heard her neck crack. She turned to look at me, and she obviously could tell I was worried.

"I'm just stiff, I'll be fine." She said sweetly, placing her hand on my thigh.

"Alice wants to know if she can come sit in the backseat and talk to you." I informed Bella as I read Alice's thoughts.

"Sure." Bella nodded gently. I gave Alice a nod, and soon she was sitting in the backseat bouncing up and down.

"I can't wait until we get there!" She said excitedly.

"I agree, I want to get there too." Bella said. I was trying to read Alice's mind, but she was just singing a song.

"Alice, what are you planning?" I asked skeptically.

"I'm not really planning anything…I'm just thinking about being on that boat." She said happily.

"Um, Alice, we're already on a boat." Bella reminded her. Bella looked so cute as she explained to Alice.

"Yes Bella, I know that, but I meant the boat Carlisle bought."

"Oh." Bella nodded.

"So if that's the case why are you singing a song, and blocking me from your thoughts?"

"Well a few things may have run through my mind that you wouldn't…well approve of."

"Like what Alice?" I asked getting annoyed.

"I want to go water skiing!" She blurted out.

"Alice, there will be plenty of time for that later, today let's just get situated in our new home."

"Fine." Alice said as she looked down to her feet. Then the car door opened, and in came Emmett.

"Hey Bella!" He said happily.

"Hi Emmett." She said sleep thick in her voice again.

"Awe, are you tired?" Emmett asked. It was rather amusing for me to see his sweet side.

"Yeah." Bella replied weakly.

"Alice, can you ask Carlisle if he has any pain medication on him." Bella gave me a look.

"You need to take something." I informed her. She just closed her eyes gently. Alice stepped out of the car, and seconds later she returned with Carlisle.

"Here Bella, you can take this. We'll give you some other things once we get to the new house." As Carlisle said that the boat stopped, and as I looked around I realized we were only another ten minutes away from our destination.

It took us around thirty minutes just to get off of the ferry.

"Um, Edward, why did you bring the cars? I mean I would assume they won't fit on the boat Carlisle bought."

"No they won't, we're going to leave them here. This way if we decide to leave Arrilian we'll have a way of transportation."

"Oh." I wrapped my arm around Bella securely and we walked slowly towards the docks with the rest of my family. We loaded the boat, and were quickly on our way. We reached the island in all of ten minutes.

Bella's Point of View

The island was absolutely gorgeous. There were so many trees of all different kinds in different shades of greens. There were flowers everywhere, whites, and pinks, blues and greens, purples and reds. The water that surrounded us was the crispest, most beautiful blue. If you looked down you could see the ocean floor. It was absolutely majestic.

Edward led me forward, and then I saw it, the house.

"How is there already house here?"

"The island wasn't always deserted, the house has been here for many many years, they made it out of strong materials, and it's still in pristine condition."

"Is there any chance of people still being here?" I asked.

"Nope." Edward replied.

I stared up at the beautiful house. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was even larger than their home in Forks. It was dark red brick, with lots and lots of windows. It had large columns on the front porch. The house was simply breathtaking. I couldn't wait to see the inside.

Edward continued to lead me towards the house, and then he pushed the door open. My eyes widened at the site. The room was large and very open, with a large bay window along the back wall. To the left there was an elegant spiral staircase. Carlisle and the rest of the family must have entered the house while I was admiring it, because all of a sudden Carlisle spoke.

"Edward, why don't you two go upstairs and get ready." Ready? Oh. Ready for the transformation. I was surprised it was happening so quickly, but that was okay with me. Edward nodded, and lifted me carefully into his arms. He walked carefully up the spiral staircase holding me securely in his arms. Once we were at the hallway Edward walked to the third door down, and opened the door.

"How do you know where to go?" I asked.

"Alice." He stated simply. I just nodded. Edward must have moved extremely slow, because all of a sudden Emmett and Jasper were in the room, assembling a bed.

"All set." They both said as they exited the room. Edward placed me carefully on the bed, and Carlisle came in. That's when I realized that Edward's couch was now in the room as well, and Carlisle was sitting on it.

"You know what to do, right Edward?" He asked with great concern.

"Yes." Edward nodded. He looked down at me skeptically.

"Bella, are you ready for this." I nodded while staring into his deep golden eyes.

He sat down gently on the bed right next to me. Placing his hand on the side of my face, brushing away my hair, he leaned down towards my face. Gently he pressed his cold lips to my mouth. He slowly dragged his lips down my jaw, as his mouth neared my neck, I began to tremble. Edward stopped abruptly and looked at me straight on.

"Are you okay?" He asked truly concerned, even more so than he had been earlier.

"Ye…" I tried to say yes, but I couldn't I was trembling too much, so I just nodded.

"Edward, wait." Carlisle said quickly. Edward sat up, and I felt my heart leap. I wanted this. They couldn't not do it after everything we'd gone through. Carlisle must have seen my worry.

"Don't worry Bella, I just want to check a few things." He said carefully. He leaned down and placed his hand on my forehead.

"She's burning up. I should give her something." Carlisle pulled a bottle out of his pocket, and handed it to me. Esme came in a moment later holding a glass of water, how she knew I needed one, I will never know.

"That should help."

"Carlisle, can you give her morphine for the pain…of the change?" Edward asked.

"I can, but I really don't think it will do much good. I mean it's not even helping her pain from the cancer."

"Could we at least try?" Edward pleaded. I wanted to tell him it was okay, but I was still trembling. Carlisle nodded, and left the room, only to return seconds later with a shot. As he stuck the needle into my arm I cringed into Edward, who was there waiting for me with open arms.

"You okay, love?" I just nodded.

Edward's Point of View

How was I ever going to be able to go through with this. I couldn't stand to see her in any pain. This would be the worst pain of her existence. It was hard enough just to watch her get a shot, how would I react to this. But I had to. Esme left the room after Bella had the shot, and Carlisle also excused himself, after he shared his thoughts with me.

I trust you Edward, but just so you know, I'm right outside the door, and I will check in very soon, to make sure everything is okay, but I'm going to give you some privacy for this.

I nodded to Carlisle as he exited the room. It was just me and Bella now. I looked down at her, and her eyes were becoming more and more dull. I was on the bed sitting next to her, and I went in for my second attempt. I came inches away from her face.

"I love you so much." I whispered.

"I…love…you…too." She said as she continued to tremble. I wish I knew how much of the trembling was caused from her fever, and how much of it was that she was nervous. I brushed my lips against hers, and slowly moved them to the base of her neck. I lingered for a few moments, kissed it softly and sweetly, sort of like the calm before the storm. I started to open my mouth, and slowly I placed my razor sharp teeth to her neck.

"Edward…wait." My angel said.
