Robert was a vampire that came to Forks every year on exactly the same day, the day Edward killed his love. Edward hadn't meant to but of course it would hang over his head till the day he died… if he ever did die, which I hope to God he never does. This all happens centuries ago when Edward had first been turned into a vampire by Carlisle. Carlisle had to leave Edward he didn't want to but there were suspicions about the missing patient (Edward) he couldn't let them build up. Carlisle told Edward to stay in the house until he got back from the hospital but Edward just couldn't have good luck. While Carlisle was gone a girl called Poppy strayed too close to the house, she was Roberts one and only love he was planning on turning her into a vampire very soon but poppy's scent found away inside the house and Edward didn't have any control and killed her.

Edward can never forgive himself and has actually once thought about letting Robert kill him because it was fair. Edward didn't exactly hate what he was but he saw what he had done as a crime and just saw Robert as the executioner at his death penalty.

Carlisle felt guilty to because he should have stayed home and not tried covering up things that had happened and worries about the missing patient. I didn't know what it was about vampires but they always found a way to connect them to anything bad that happened and blame themselves it really got under my skin sometimes.

I believed it was none of their faults Edward couldn't help himself he wasn't prepared to feel the thirst that he felt and Carlisle couldn't have known that Poppy would stray too close to the house but even if I told them this no one would listen to me. I had never talked about Robert with Edward or any of the Cullens it's not that I forgot about it, it was just not something you brought up in conversation or something that needed to be said.

"You know about him?" Edward asked worriedly.

"Of course I do I know everything, remember?" I winked.

The reason I wasn't worrying was because Robert and Edward would fight for a day and then he would never be seen again until next year and so far no one had won he and Robert were equal. Well not totally equal Edward had his gift so he could tell what Robert was going to do next but Robert was faster so he was able to make up for the lack of a talent or gift. Edward did not let any of his family interfere all he would let Alice do was see when and from what direction he was coming from and where they would fight.

Strange but lucky I guess because if Robert was stronger I wouldn't be me and I wouldn't have Edward but Robert would do anything to get revenge on Edward that's why Edward usually made his family leave because he didn't want any of them getting remotely hurt but Robert never hurt them I think he didn't think they were close enough to Edward to make up for the pain of loosing the only person in the world that you would die for, your soul mate. Which is untrue Edward cared for his family just as much as his love… well I guess that me. I thought to myself slightly smug.

"Aren't you scared?" Edward asked puzzled. He still had a pained look on his face.

"Why would I be scared…?" I trailed I began to work things out.

Why were his family still here? What had changed? The words that I had just thought rang through my mind like a bell. 'Robert would do anything to get revenge on Edward'

"Me" I half whispered half gasped. He would want me .Edward had finally found someone that meant as much to him as Poppy had done to Robert he would want to kill me to get even with Edward that's why Edward and the others were shielding their minds that's why they seemed to be guarding me like a precious jewel. It was the perfect situation for Robert to be in. Edward had someone that meant a lot all he would do was kill her and they are even. "He wants me… well he is going to want me."

"Bella are you ok?" Edward asked taking me by the shoulders. "I promise I won't let him hurt you" He continued through gritted teeth.

I took a deep breath out and let it out slowly. No! I wasn't going to die, Robert had to first find out about me then he would have to go through Edward to get to me I was safe and I wasn't about to have a pathetic melt down because of something that might not even happen.

"Yes, totally fine" I said determined. "Now I have figured it out stop with the blocking you thoughts thing, it's killing me" I said annoyed.

Sorry, and are you sure you're ok? I heard Edward think with a tone of worry. It felt so good to hear Edwards's thoughts and feel his mind I enjoyed nothing more than just hearing this mental voice, it was so musical and calming.

"You're back, and yes I am fine" I joked. I hugged him.

We stood there hugging each other. "I won't let him anywhere near you Bella, he won't hurt you" Edward whispered in my ear. I was trying to believe Edward but I had the worst feeling about this. I knew Edward was too good to be true and it makes sense that it wouldn't last I though sadly.

"I know Edward." I whispered back. I stepped away to look at Edward's face he was still tense and I knew he just wanted me safe. I was pretty sure that his plan involved me being nowhere near Forks but I couldn't leave Charlie what if somehow Robert found out about me and went to my house that was putting Charlie in way to much danger not that I believed Robert would because that wouldn't be fair but you never know he has been after revenge for more than 50 years.

"So what's the plan" I said smiling at Edward trying to loosen him up a bit.

"You leave right now" He said bluntly and began taking me to the edge of the trees. Before we got there I stopped dead in my tracks.

"I'm not leaving Charlie" I protested.

"Bella you have to leave if there is any chance he finds out he won't even have to leave Forks to find you, you will be in the one place he already is, the easiest place for him to get to you. Don't you think that's a bit stupid?" He asked and started to drag me closer to the edge of the forest.

"I know it is Edward but…" I began to struggle against Edward. He turned around quickly and looked deep into my eyes.

"Bella, please don't." Edward pleaded. "I don't want to force you but I will. I will do whatever it takes to make you safe."

"Fine! But how long will I have to be gone for a couple of hours?" I asked.

"Bella, it might be days." Edward said slowly.

"Days?! That's it I have to at least lie to Charlie about where I am going." I began to turn away towards the car park but Edward's hand flew to my elbow.

"Bella there's not enough time"

I turned around to face him again I was starting to get really angry. "Days Edward! Days! He's a police chef he is going to think the worse he will have the whole state looking for me he will be worrying so much. I can't just leave and not tell him where I am going. I won't!" I shouted. I hated to fight with Edward but I was right to say these things. Charlie would be worried sick if I just disappeared. "And what happens if it goes badly Edward? What happens if I die?" Edward cringed away from that last sentence. "Don't I get to see my Dad one last time?" I began to struggle against Edward again but it was no good he was a vampire and I was human it was as simple as that.

"I'm sorry" He said in a silent whisper. Suddenly he moved his hand up from my elbow to my upper arm and with gentleness I didn't really deserve he swung me over to his side and onto his back. Edward locked my hands around his neck with one arm and twisted my legs around his waist with the other.

"Edward put me down" I shouted when time had caught up with me. It was no use, we were running.

So that's Robert for you. I hope I didn't disappoint anyone I was really worried I was going to because the number of reviews I got that went a long the lines of 'OMG! Who's Robert' or 'Robert? Who's Robert? Tell me?... Robert?" _ Again I hope I didn't disappoint anyone.

So sorry it's taking me so long to update I have major exams coming up I will really try to post regularly but I cannot grantee anything : (

Please review I love to hear your feedback good or bad
