Sorry to keep, you waiting, school remember? But, now I'm DONE! =)

Bella's POV

Twins? Of course, that makes sense. I was a bit relieved to discover that Lenny did not return from the afterlife, it meant that it was Henry I saw at the sandwich shop. My relief quickly dissipated as I remembered Henry, he was here most likely armed and ready to kill me, while I was here defenseless and alone, no one knew where I was, and unless Alice got a vision of this no one will even know Henry was here until it was too late.

I gulped. "I was surprised to see you in that sandwich shop," he continued, "you acted like you did not see me, but by the way you bolted out there before eating your sandwich I knew it had to be you." He was so casual about it, I found it hard to believe, he had to snap at any moment now. How long will he be able to keep himself in control, when he thinks I killed his brother?

I heard that a bond between twins runs deeper than any average pair of siblings, so I imagined that the pain and grief of the loss of one would be greater too. And, the anger and the desire for vengeance too.

"How'd you find me?" I asked. "I had Melissa keeping tabs this whole time, I found out where you're staying at too," he grinned, "you should know better than to bring people into this, Bella."

"You have no reason to kill them, they don't even know you," I told him. "I have one reason, they know you and you obviously care a lot about them," he replied. "You killed my brother," he said, "the only family I had left, the only friend-"

"What about Melissa?" I interjected. "Melissa is a team mate, we aren't close," he answered. "Anyway, you took the only person I had left, I'm going to make sure you end up with no one, nothing to live for and then I'll kill you."

"So, you're not going to kill me?"

"Not at this very moment," he replied. "Nice Porsche," he commented, "Maybe I'll give it to Melissa after we kill you," he said, "See you later, Bella," he told me as he walked by, he squeezed my shoulder and smiled, "Next time there will be no mercy," he whispered.

Then he was gone.

I shivered in the cold, but I also trembled in fear I could have died, but my death was delayed. I drove back home silently as paranoia crept on me and took hold of me, making me look over my shoulder every few seconds as I fumbled with the key and tried to twist it in the ignition.

Even as I drove my eyes flickered to the rearview mirrors, he knew where I lived now. I always suspected it, but having it confirmed is another thing, and now I knew that he just wasn't after me but my family.

The Cullens, could protect themselves, but Renee and Phil couldn't and then he might attack Billy too, after all he was good friends with Charlie. I shouldn't have came, I thought, I shouldn't have came back.

It would be better if I stayed a little longer after I killed Preese, this way I could have seen for myself who didn't want to go, I would've handled it then, somehow.

There was Melissa, it wasn't personal between her and I, I've never met her before so she could be anywhere, she could've seen me, seen everyone I spent time with, the places I went, and I wouldn't have known then because I didn't know I was being watched, I didn't know because I didn't know who would be watching me.

I bit my lip, Brenda didn't mention how Melissa looked like, didn't mention Henry and Lenny were twins, if she did this would be easier. Should I see her again? It would put her in danger though, she just wants to live a normal life and get away from the things she left behind in Ohio.

That's what I wanted too, still do seeing her again would be taking that away from her, I wouldn't go back to Teri for the same reasons. Then how? How would I know what Melissa looks like?

I parked Alice's Porsche in the garage, I walked inside the house and found that Edward was pacing and pulling at his hair in the living room, Alice was sitting on Jasper's lap looking guilty, and Carlisle and Esme were sitting in the love seat. Emmet sat on the floor beneath Rosalie as she twirled her fingers into his curly brown hair.

All of their heads snapped up the second I walked into the room, I closed the door behind me and wished I could seep through the walls to escape their stares.

"You're making her uncomfortable, stop staring," Jasper murmured, they looked away except for Edward who walked over to me and scanned my body for any injuries. "Did he hurt you?" he asked. I shook my head, Edward breathed a sigh of relief, "I was so worried," he told me.

"I didn't mean to worry you, or anybody else," my eyes looked over his shoulder where everyone else sat then back at him, "I didn't know, he was going to be there."

"Of course you didn't, you should have stayed inside the house," he said sternly, "I could have lost you, Bella," he said and his voice broke. I was saddened instantly, I didn't want to hear him sad because of me, worried and afraid that Henry might be killing me, wondering where I am, if I'm coming back alive.

"I'm so sorry," I apologized, I was so ashamed how could have been so stupid? The second I was gone and alone, Henry would have cornered me, it's what Preese taught us.

Someone cleared their throat, we both turned to face them I blushed, realizing everyone heard what we said. "Did he say anything?" Jasper asked, "Henry?" I asked, walking around Edward and closer to the others, he nodded.

I nodded, "He said, that next time there would be no mercy," I answered, "and that he was going to kill my family, leave me all alone before killing me." Edward stood next to me, and wrapped an arm around my waist, "He won't touch you," he said firmly.

"Maybe not me, but my family," I told him, "How are we going to protect Renee and Phil?" I asked him. He frowned, "We'll figure something out," he promised. "Henry was the only one there?" Carlisle asked, "Not Lenny?"

I shook my head, "Lenny's dead, Henry and Lenny were twins." "That explains it, I was wondering how someone could survive his injuries, and appear to be the picture of health, it's impossible," Carlisle said.

I nodded, "Is that all he said?" Jasper asked, "That's all," I answered. "I think we should contact the wolves, figure out a plan we have to protect Bella's parents, and Bella," Carlisle faced me, "please stay inside the house." "Yes, Carlisle."

Everyone stood to leave and go to their rooms, but Alice walked up over to me, "I'm sorry, you almost died, again Bella," she told me, I shook my head, "Don't apologize, it was my idea."

"But, I let you go and I've shouldn't have especially after my vision," she insisted, "but if you really think you took a part in this, I'll accept your apology."

"What was your vision about, Alice?" I asked, remembering when her eyes glazed over in the kitchen and my attempt to catch her. She glanced quickly at Edward, from my peripheral vision I saw him shake his head, Alice looked back at me, "I'll let Edward tell you about it," she said.

I watched her dance away before turning back to Edward, "What was her vision about?" I asked, again. Edward's golden eyes stared into mine for a moment before he sighed, he put his hand on my back and gently guided me forward and up the stairs. He led me up to his room, and he closed the door behind us before he finally spoke.

"Alice's vision was mainly about Victoria and Henry, working together to kill you." My eyes felt like they were about to bulge out of my head, as one thought ran through my head, "You mean..."

He nodded, "Yes. Victoria changed Henry into a vampire." I blinked, "But, I just saw him..." "Future? Remember, Bella?" He asked me. "Besides," he continued, "Alice's visions can always change, because the future always changes, and even if Henry was not changed into a vampire, we would still have Victoria and a newborn army on our hands."

I shook my head, "Edward, what is this about a newborn army? I don't understand." He took a deep breath, out of habit more than necessity I'm sure, "It usually occurs in the South, sometimes other vampires will create an army of vampires to control their territory against other vampires, and other newborn armies, the Volturi guard would in most cases, come and eliminate the armies and the creators of the newborn vampires, because of the high death tolls that cause suspicion in the human world."

"Have you seen this before?" I asked, carefully. Edward shook his head, "Never. And, I hope I never will, I've heard how gruesome those wars could be." "Edward," I whispered, "Victoria has an entire army, we'll be outnumbered, right? Wouldn't that mean-" I choked on a sob, my body began to shake, I took a deep breath and tried to get my emotions under control, "wouldn't that mean everyone might not make it out?"

I kept my head down, and tried to hold back the tears that threatened to spill over, No, I thought, don't cry. I wiped my eyes, and took a few deep breathes and tried to relax and swallow the grief I felt inside me, I raised my head, "Edward, I don't want anyone to die, because of me."

"Bella, if anyone does die, it won't be because of you," Edward assured me, I finished his sentence in my mind, if anyone dies it won't be be because of me, it would be for me. How would I cope with that?

Edward soothed me, and comforted me as he whispered assurances and ran his hand down my hair and held me in his arms, without thought I allowed the tears to flow and for the grief to overwhelm for a bit.

Strangely, I felt better afterwards I cried, I pulled away from Edward and rubbed my eyes, feeling tired. Without a word, Edward picked me up in his arms and carried me back to my room, I felt my head gently hit the pillow, Edward tucked me in and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Go to sleep," he said, quietly. I patted the spot next to me on the bed, in one fluid movement Edward laid next to me and wrapped an arm around my waist, "Goodnight Edward."

"Sweet dreams, Bella." Then I fell asleep.

My eyes opened, Edward wasn't lying down next me like he was when I fell asleep, instead he sat on a chair, his clothes were changed and he smiled when he caught my eye, "Good morning, love," he greeted. "Good morning, Edward," I replied, and sat up, I put my hand over my mouth as I yawned.

"What time is it?" I asked. "9:45 A.M.," he answered. I nodded, silence filled the room, and I began to think about what happened last night, "What are we going to do, today?" I asked. He shrugged, "Whatever, comes our way."

I nodded. I got out of the bed, and walked to the bathroom, I brushed my teeth as I tried to come up with a list of things Edward and I could do today, without getting bored. The list was non-existent though, how many things can you do to make time pass by without leaving the house? I rinsed my mouth, and washed my face before stepping out of the bathroom.

When I came out of the bathroom, Edward wasn't waiting in my room like he usually does, I debated whether or not I should wait for him to come back, but after a few minutes my stomach growled and I went downstairs.

I was surprised to see that Edward was cooking, "You cook?" I asked. He turned to face me, "I watch the Food Network, so I could cook for you," he answered, "So, yes now I cook." I walked closer, I was right behind him now I peered over his shoulder to see what he was cooking, bacon and eggs.

Mmmm...my stomach growled again. He grinned, "You like bacon and eggs then?" he asked, I smiled, "You can never go wrong with bacon and eggs," I told him. "Take a seat, then they're almost done."

Wordlessly, I took a seat at the table and waited eagerly for breakfast. A few minutes later, Edward came back with a steaming plate of bacon and eggs, a glass of orange juice, and some toast.

My mouth literally began to water, embarrased I quickly swallowed and stabbed my fork into the scrambled eggs and ate it. Edward was watching me intently, he usually watched me as I ate, but now he made the food himself.

My eyes widened, "Oh my God! Edward these are the best eggs I've ever had!" I exclaimed, and quickly ate another, he grinned at my enthusiam, "Thank you." "How does someone who doesn't eat, make such great food?" I wondered aloud.

I took a gulp of my orange juice, and instantly regretted it, "What's wrong?" Edward asked, concerned. "Is there something in the orange juice? I checked the expiration date and everything."

He took my glass and examined it, I shook my head, "Edward, I'm sure the orange juice is great, it's just that I just brushed my teeth, so now the orange juice tastes bitter and sour," I explained.

He set down the glass, "Would you like something else to drink, then?" I shook my head, "No, it'll go away on its own, I'll drink the orange juice later." He nodded, I continued to eat when there was half a strip of bacon left and half my eggs were gone, I decided to try drinking the orange juice again.

This time I was cautious, I took a small sip of the juice before taking a larger one, and then I took a gulp. "Ah," I said, now that my thirst was quenched. "I take it, it's not bitter and sour anymore?" Edward asked.

I smiled, "No, it's not." I finished the eggs and bacon, I realized I forgot the toast, I noticed there was no butter on it and got up to get some butter. "Bella," Edward began, "butter is not good for your cholestrol."

I froze, he sounded so unbelievebely like Carlisle I wasn't sure whether to laugh or just gape at him. "That's what Carlisle said," I told him. "Maybe, you should listen to him then," Edward told me. I shook my head, "I'm not going to put too much," I assured him. He sighed, I put on an exaggerated thin layer of butter on each slice of toast, so thin it was hardly noticeable and then put away the butter.

After eating breakfast, Edward insisted he'd wash the dishes even though I protested, "I'm almost twenty-one years old, Edward stop babying me."

"I am not babying you," he argued, I rolled my eyes. "Then, let me wash dishes," I challenged, he shook his head, I huffed, "You are so stubborn!" To my surprise, he laughed, and he laughed hard. "I'm stubborn?" he repeated, I nodded, "Yes, what's so funny about it?" I asked, irritated. He shook his head, and chuckled to himself.

I sighed, and stomped back to my room and grabbed my old CD player and put the Linkin Park CD in it and plugged in my headphone before hitting play. I blocked out the rest of the world, to be honest I was just letting my temper get the best of myself, I took a deep breath, I have to apologize to Edward.

I felt a shift in my bed, I raised my head, Edward sat on the edge of my bed looking apologetic, I shook my head, No, I'm going to apologize. He frowned, sad. I took off my headphone and put my hand on his, "I'm sorry," I apologized, he opened my mouth to say something but I quickly continued, "I'm not really mad at you, I swear, it's just my temper that's all. I'm sorry," I repeated.

His eyes flickered down to our hands, "I understand," he said slowly, "but you had a point, Bella," he told me, I looked up at him, "You are not a baby, you are a young woman, but I just want to take care of you and spoil you, I've forgotten how you detest being taken care of, but that doesn't mean I'll stop trying."

I sighed, he continued, "I'm sure I can let you do some things by yourself, I admit that I can be stubborn," he said, "and you are too." I smiled, "We make quite a match," I commented. He grinned, "Yes, we do," he agreed. I smiled, "Edward," I began, the sudden need to say it was strong, "I love you."

He beamed, "I love you too."

I pecked him on the lips, and then twice more, "Bella," he murmured, against my lips, "Yes?" "Prepare yourself." I blinked, confused as he pulled away and before I could react the door swung open, "Bella!" Alice's voice trilled, "I got a surprise for you!"

I groaned, those words were all I needed to hear, to know I was about to experience torture. Alice dragged me to her room, where I drowned in clothes, make-up, and hot curling irons and blow dryers. "Why are you even doing this? We aren't going anywhere," I asked, then paused as I corrected myself, "Well, at least I'm not."

"It's fun, silly!" she answered me, I groaned, "Don't move, or else you'll get burned!" Alice scolded me, Yes, I thought, this is fun. After, Alice dressed me up like a Barbie doll, we went downstairs because Alice planned for us to see movies and eat popcorn, well I was going to eat popcorn.

I sat next to Edward, Emmet turned the lights off and the movie began to play, a group of young adults were shown checking into a hotel, soon people were getting murdered, a blonde girl ran into a hotel room and hid in the closet, the killer was about to give up when her cellphone rang. The last thing I remember, was hearing her scream as he slid the closet door open and swung the axe at her.

"Bella." I mumbled something and turned to my side, "Bella," the voice said again. "Go away," I told it, and threw a pillow at the voice. A cold hand put his hand on my bare shoulder, I instantly awoke. "What happened?"

"You fell asleep." "Oh," I said, "for how long?" "An hour and thirty minutes," Edward answered, "Otherwise known as, the entire movie!" Emmet yelled, I jumped and he laughed. "What's wrong, Bella? Were you scared?" he teased.

"Yes, I was scared of a horror movie, even though I was sitting in a room full of vampires," I replied, sarcastically. Emmet laughed, then stopped, "Aw, man! The dog is here!" he whined, I stood up, "Jacob?"
