Thank you for the awesome reviews! I am sad to say that this is the last chapter and my story will end now. But I am really glad that you guys read it! This chapter might be a little different from the rest of the story, and at some parts completely random. It also might be a little out of character (I don't really know though, but if it is, I'm really sorry!) It's basically just fluff because people wanted me to make a chapter where Edward was better. So enjoy!
CHAPTER 25
I was running my hair was blowing through the wind. I was starting to like running so fast. I knew why Edward enjoyed it so much. We left a few days after Edward got better. He was getting thirsty a lot more often because he hadn't had blood in such a long time, but I also needed to hunt because I was still a newborn, I was only a little over then a week old. Carlisle told me that I was handling my thirst really well. I just assumed that it was because I was so worried about Edward, and that's where my attention was focused. When he got better my thirst did start to get a little stronger, but it was nothing that hunting couldn't control.
We had just spent three days out hunting, just me and Edward. Edward was a lot faster then me, even though I was a newborn. But I guess that's Edward for you. On the way back we stopped for a few deer that went our way. I finished my "meal" before Edward did, so I decided to get a head start. I stopped running when I felt that I was far enough away from him, I wasn't able to smell him anymore.
I stopped for only a few seconds when suddenly I felt strong arms wrap around my waist.
Then I felt Edward's lips gently kiss my neck, "That, was unfair. You got a head start."
I couldn't help but let out a little laugh at his comment, "Well it's not my fault that I am faster at hunting then you are."
I felt his lips in my hair, he was still standing behind me with his arms wrapped around my waist, "And what makes you so sure about that?"
I put my hands on his and leaned my head on his shoulder. "Well if I hadn't have stopped I am pretty sure that I would have beaten you to the house. And we both know that you are the faster one when it comes to running."
"mhmm, we definitely know about that," I felt him smile wider in my hair.
"And I just happened to leave for the house before you because I was done hunting. Therefore I am faster at hunting."
"I think that we should test that,"
I let out a small laugh, "Not today, I'm hunted-out"
I heard Edward chuckle behind me and then he was by my side holding one of my hands in his.
"I think that we should go home then,"
"I think that's a good idea," then I let go of his hand, "race ya," then I started running towards the house.
When I got to the house a few minutes later Edward was leaning against the wall of the house with one leg up leaning against it. His arms were crossed in front of his chest. When he saw me he looked at his watch, "What took you so long?"
I ran up to him and smiled, "I've actually been at the house for a while now. I just decided to come out and greet you. So welcome back!" I stepped up closer to him and kissed him gently on the cheek.
"Are you saying that you are faster then me?"
"Maybe," I grinned mischievously.
"Well in that case, I'm going to have to challenge you later,"
"Okay, just prepare to lose." I knew that Edward was faster then me and there was no way that I could ever beat him in a challenge, but I still could try right? Then I came up with a brilliant plan. I was really happy that Edward couldn't hear my thoughts.
Edward laughed and moved from his position on the wall. He put his arm protectively around my shoulders. I put my arms around his waist. He kissed me on the top of my head and we walked back to the house at human speed.
We walked into the living room to find the family spread out all across the house. Carlisle was out because he just started his new job at the hospital. Esme was out shopping for a few things for the house, she also wanted to know the area a little better. Rosalie was up in her room doing something, what it was I don't know. She didn't really talk to me much since the transformation, then again I didn't really see her much being that I was pretty busy with Edward. Jasper and Emmett were in the living room playing video games. Alice was on the couch reading a magazine. When we walked into the room Alice came and ran up to me.
"Bella! I hear that you are going to challenge Edward. Is that true?"
I nodded. She said, "Good. Is now okay?"
I looked up at Edward, he just grinned, "I don't know. I mean I figured that Bella would want some time to prepare to lose to me."
I tried to ignore his comment and I looked back at Alice, "I think now is perfect."
Alice smiled, "Good! You two wait outside, and get ready. We'll be out in a minute," Then Alice winked at me, she must have known my plan.
Edward and I walked outside when we got to the backyard Edward sat down and I followed him. Then I realized something, shouldn't Edward need some rest, not really sleeping rest, but rest. I mean he did just recover from being sick. I didn't want him to run into a tree or anything.
"Um Edward?"
"Yes Bella?" We were sitting in the middle of the grass. Edward's arm was still around my shoulders and my head was resting on my chest.
"Are you sure that you don't want to rest or something?"
Edward looked down at me, "Why would I need to rest?"
"Well you just recovered from a sickness."
A small smiled played across Edward's face, he obviously was able to see the worry on my face, "It's okay Bella. I'm not sick anymore. I'm completely fine."
"Are you sure? Because we can do this another time. Maybe it's better if you just rest a little bit. We just came back from hunting. Are you sure you aren't feeling sick at all? I think that we should do this another time, you need your rest," I was about to stand up but Edward stopped me. Even though I was stronger then him being that I was a newborn, he was still able to hold me down, but that was probably because I wasn't really trying so hard.
"Bella. I'm fine. Trust me, I'm not sick anymore. I am completely healthy, I don't need anymore rest. You don't need to worry so much."
"Are you sure?"
Edward let out a big sigh, "I see what the problem is, you know that you can't out-run me. I understand if you want to just give up right now."
I playfully smacked him in the arm, "No way."
"Alright, if that's what you want."
Then I said, "But afterwards I would feel a lot better if you got some rest"
He leaned down and kissed me on my forehead, "Fine. You take way too much care of me."
"It's my job, I'm your wife you know."
He smiled, "Thank you for that,"
"For what?"
"Marrying me."
I looked up to him and smiled, then I placed a simple kiss on his lips, "Anytime."
Then Alice, Emmett, Jasper, and Rosalie came outside. Edward and I slowly got up.
Alice started talking, "So here's how it's going to work. I'm going to run into the forest. Jasper will stay back here. The first one of you to make it to me and back to him first wins. Got it?"
We both nodded our heads. It was time to put my plan into action.
Jasper stood in the middle of the yard. Then Alice ran out into the woods. She ran so far out that I could barely smell her anymore, but I was still able to smell her a little bit. Then Edward walked over to one side of Jasper and I walked over to his other side. We both got into runners position. Then Emmett said, "On your mark, get set, GO!"
I looked like I was about to run but then I stopped. I just watched as Edward ran into the woods. I looked at Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie. I was going to explain to them that they would have to make it look like I really ran and came back but Jasper stopped me before I could say anything, "Alice already told us everything. We'll make sure to not let our minds slip."
"You don't have to worry about that, I've already turned his power off." My new power really did have a lot of advantages.
We all waited for about a few more seconds, Alice must have ran really far away. Before I knew it Edward was back, right next to Jasper. A few seconds later Alice came. Edward just looked at me, the look on his face was priceless, "How did you…"
I walked up to him, "I guess I am faster then you."
Then Edward realized something, "Love? Can you please give me my power back?"
I looked up at him, "Why, do you need them for something?" I seriously loved my new power.
"I think that you all tricked me, it might help if I had my ability back."
I smiled, "Maybe I am just faster then you. And besides, why would we trick you?"
Then my favorite crooked smile played across Edward's face. I realized what he was trying to do, "No! You can't try to dazzle me! That's cheating."
He let out a small chuckle, "Please?"
I was starting to feel bad for him, I knew that I couldn't not give him back his power, and he was sure to find out sooner or later. I sighed, "Fine."
I focused on Edward and giving his power back. A few moments later Edward said, "Thank you." Then he kissed me on the lips.
He then looked down at me again, "You, Bella Cullen, are evil."
I looked at everyone else, "Okay whose mind slipped?"
Emmett said, "I'm sorry, but I couldn't help it."
I sighed, "It's fine."
Then Rosalie said, "Well I'm going to be in my room in anyone needs me,"
Then Jasper said, "I think that we have a game to finish Emmett?"
"Right."
Then Rosalie, Jasper, and Emmett went back into the house. Alice then said, "I'll leave you two alone." And she followed after them.
Then Edward looked down at me, "What would you like to do now?"
I looked back at him, "You told me that you would rest now."
He let out a big sigh and then mumbled under his breath, "Fine."
I smiled at him and took his hand to drag him up the stairs to our bedroom. When we got there I opened the door and Edward followed me, closing the door behind him. Then Edward walked over to the stereo and put some music on. It was just simple classical piano music.
I walked over to the bed and laid down. Edward followed me and laid down beside me. As soon as his head hit the pillow I laid my head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around me. Then I looked up at him, "Are you tired?"
He looked down at me, "I'm a vampire remember? And I'm not sick anymore. So, no I am not tired."
"I'm really glad that you're better."
"Me too."
"I don't really know what I would do if you didn't get better."
Then Edward kissed me gently on my forehead, "Shhh, let's not talk about that. It's over now."
"I know." I paused, "What do you think will happen with the Volturi?"
"I think that everything is going to be okay." Carlisle told us that the Volturi weren't really pleased with us threatening them. They didn't say anything like we would regret it, or they would get back at us. But I knew that we weren't exactly on best terms with them. Then Edward said, "You don't need to worry about anything Bella. Everything is going to be okay, I promise."
I smiled and got up from my position on his chest to reach up to kiss him on the lips. "Okay" I smiled at him and rested my head back on his chest.
Then he said, "Thank you."
"For what?"
"For helping me get better."
I said, "I love you."
"I love you too Bella."
And we just laid in bed for I don't even know how long. I was happy knowing that we would be able to be together forever, if we could go through this, I was sure that we could go through anything.
