[A/N] Lemon alert in this chapter don't like…don't read, simple like that… but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be here if you didn't *grin*
**About Unmelted Ice**
I kneeled down on the snowy ground and wrapped my arms around her dainty waist. She smiled and wiped away a single drop of blood that was still running down the corner of my mouth with her fingertip.
Her hands twisted into my hair as she pulled me closer to plant a soft kiss on my lips. I parted my mouth a little and the tip of her tongue nudged against mine to massage it gently. A shiver went down my spine, and I moaned into the sweetness that was her mouth.
She pulled down the zipper of my jacket. Why the hell did I have to wear so many layers of clothes when I would never feel cold anymore? Then I remembered that Alice had told me it was necessary to keep up the human appearance. There was so much that I still needed to get used to, and I was thankful that I had her to remind me of all the tiny details like breathing or blinking so that people wouldn't start wondering if something was wrong with me. Of course there was no way I could get near any humans as long as my eyes looked like little crimson colored flames. Melanie had started experimenting with contacts but the strange purple color that the blue ones had caused didn't really convince me.
Carlisle had told me that animal blood weakened the color and so I gulped down as much of it as I could swallow. I felt embarrassed for being so vain about my eyes. That's why I told the others that I was constantly thirsty.
"Hello? Earth to Bella,"
"Hmm,"
"Are you okay?" She asked worriedly and cupped my face between her hands.
"Yes, of course I am. You don't have to worry about me, Alice. Everything is okay."
She shook her head.
"I don't think so. That the fifth time today you hunted. That's not normal, even for a new born."
I sighed deeply and planted a quick kiss on her forehead.
"Who decides what's normal for a vampire or not? A lot of them would consider the fact that we're only hunting on animals weird enough."
Her fingertips stroked down my cheekbone until she reached the sensitive skin of my jugular.
"Maybe the vegetarian lifestyle isn't really working for you, Bella. I don't want you to suffer."
Then she leaned over to whisper in my ear.
"The others don't need to know."
The fact that she was willing to break the rules…to lie for me was flattering - in a wrong way. The tortured look on her pixie face was enough to convince me to never make it necessary though.
"I'm not going to hunt on humans…ever." I stated calmly. That wouldn't really help me to get rid of that awful reddish eye color, I added secretly.
"And I don't think I'm going to hunt that much in the next days. Maybe I still need to get used to the permanent thirst. It's irritating somehow."
"Yeah, I know. The thirst is the first real memory that I have; that and the craving for blood."
My left hand moved under her blouse to caress the skin of her flat stomach with my fingertips.
"I want you." I mumbled while my lips moved down her collarbone.
She took my hand and squeezed it gently.
"Let's go home, Bella." She whispered hoarsely.
I remembered that the others would all be there and each of them would be able to hear us. Maybe I would get used to this lack of privacy but right now it was something that I wasn't really willing to deal with.
"No," I murmured against the skin of her neck. "Let's stay here."
Alice chuckled slightly while I started unbuttoning her blouse.
"Are you sure, that you want to do it here? It's snowing."
"Yeah, I know…but we won't get cold, will we?"
I rolled us over so that she was sitting on my lap now. The tiny snowflakes that were falling down didn't melt when they landed on her pearly skin. My tongue circled over the thin fabric of her bra and a low moan escaped her throat.
The rest of our clothes landed on the ground next to us and her lips brushed over every inch of exposed skin. Her rose-petal lips closed around one of my hardened nipples to suck on it. I bite my lower lip to keep myself from screaming out loud.
"Let me taste you." She mumbled while she kissed her way down my stomach. I closed my eyes and felt the snowflakes falling down on my eyelashes like tiny feathers, unable to melt because my face had almost the same temperature like ice now.
The tip of her tongue nudged against the little pearl of my clit, and I twisted my hands into her short ebony hair to pull her closer to me.
Slowly she licked down my inner lips, exploring my slick folds tenderly. It was a good thing that my heart had already stopped beating because what I was feeling right now would probably be too much for it.
The warmth of her tongue against my sensitive skin, the tightening in my stomach, the throbbing in my clit…
Alice raised her head and a bright smile flashed over her pixie face.
"Breathe Bella. You'll feel more when you don't stop it, trust me."
I inhaled deeply, soaking up the sweet scent of her lust that mixed up with the freshness of the air around us.
A shiver went down my spine and my legs started trembling slightly while the waves of my climax washed over me.
"Kiss me." I whispered and pulled her up to capture her gorgeous mouth.
Tasting me on her lips felt strange somehow. It was sweet like wild honey but tart at the same time.
"Bella, please," she whispered while I stroked up and down her slim thighs. "Touch me."
I turned her around and lifted her up, folding my hands underneath the silky curls between her legs.
My thumb circled around her clit while the tips of my fingers dipped into the warm wetness of her lust.
Carefully I inserted two fingers inside her and curled them upwards while I started rocking her body back and forth.
She cried out in pleasure and that noise coming from her mouth was almost enough to bring me near the edge of my lust again.
She turned her head and kissed my mouth again. Her tongue slipped between my lips, and I sucked her lower lip between my teeth to nibble on it. A whimper left her throat and her entire body went ridged before she finally collapsed against my body.
I brushed my fingers through her ebony hair to wipe away a few snowflakes.
"I love you."
"I love you too," She whispered softly, laughing her crystal bell laughter that was so Alice.
Then she cleared her throat, stood up from the ground and put her clothes back on.
"You should get dressed too, Bella."
"Why?" I asked her in confusion.
She sighed deeply.
"Because the others are going to be here in a few minutes,"
XXXX
"Irina and Laurent are back." Jasper told us while I desperately tried to hide my face behind a curtain of my long hair. Then I remembered that couldn't blush anymore. So none of them would be able to…
Of course I wasn't that lucky.
"You did it here…in the snow…like animals?" Emmett laughed so hard that he had to hold his stomach.
"Mind your own business," I growled at him and tried to fight the instinct to punch him right into his grinning face.
"Emmett, just shove it. Irina practically kicked us out because of your big mouth." Rosalie mumbled and put her hand on his broad chest.
"She kicked us out? Why?"
"It looks like the honeymoon didn't go that well for the two of them." Jasper stated and smirked sheepishly.
"Never had to feel so much of sexual frustration from someone who just got married,"
"Hey, I couldn't know about that, Jazz. I was just trying to be nice when I asked her if the house on Isle Esme was still standing."
"That's right Emmett, but you shouldn't have made all these jokes about erectile dysfunctions of carnivore vampires."
I wondered if she was probably more frustrated about the fact that her husband couldn't manage to stick to her diet than about the lack of physical attention.
"And now?"
"He went hunting and she's arguing with Carlisle and her sisters whether they want us to stay with them or not."
"Tanya and Kate will cool her down. I'm pretty sure about that." Esme told us and put an arm around Melanie's shoulder.
"They know that Emmett isn't really good at being sensitive about other people's intimacy."
Melanie snarled and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"Yep, that's true. How could you ask me if I'm still a virgin?"
"Because as your new brother I have to watch out for you; you didn't answer the question anyway…but sometimes you say it best if you say nothing at all." He grinned again, and she punched her fist into his side.
"Ouch!"
"You deserved that. I had to listen to your karaoke version of 'Like a virgin' for the last two hours."
"Melanie, we don't hit each other in this family." Esme told her and put a wisp of her caramel hair behind her ear.
"at least not if you and Carlisle can see it…," Jasper mumbled and high-fived his burly brother.
Melly closed her eyes and inhaled deeply through her nose. The color of her eyes darkened within seconds.
"Crap," Rosalie called out and put her arms around the shoulders of the blonde girl.
"If I tell you to run, you'll do it, will you?"
She nodded her head and sighed deeply.
A strange, sweet scent reached my nostrils and the burning in my throat increased suddenly.
"What the hell are humans doing here?" Jasper asked Esme who pulled out her cell to call Carlisle.
"Stop breathing." Alice instructed and hugged me tightly from behind.
I gasped for air because the thirst was so painful now that it felt as if my entire throat was set on fire.
How could the others manage to endure that? It was worse than the pain during the transformation. Someone growled angrily and I realized that Jasper and Esme were trying to help Rosalie to hold back Melly. I wouldn't let them do that to me.
"Bella, please…I know it's painful but you can't go there. I'm so sorry that I didn't see…,"
Why didn't she want me to feel better?
"Let me go!"
"No, I won't"
"Let me go, Alice. I don't want to hurt you."
She dropped her hands and sighed deeply.
Automatically I reached forward, knowing that the source of the sweet scent would be able to ease my torture. I was faster than the others and my feet rushed over the snow covered ground without stumbling once, the trees around me blurred into a greenish light.

When I reached my destination I realized that I was too late. Someone had managed to get there before me and that someone was now licking his lips greedily.
"You're too late, Bella." Laurent stated and wiped his mouth on the sleeve of his shirt. A drop of the crimson liquid rolled down his fingers and left a reddish mark on the wedding band. Irina would be pissed at him. Would she leave him? I really hoped she would because Laurent had probably spent too much time with selfish people like Victoria to get used to the more human-like way of living that the Denali's and the Cullen had decided to live on.
My eyes captured the two lifeless bodies that were lying on the ground; a man and a woman both of them probably not older than thirty. He had a camera around his neck while she still held a white cell between her carefully manicured fingers. There was a whimpering noise coming out of it that I couldn't really place.
"Bella, Oh thank, god! You didn't do anything stupid…,"
Alice wrapped her arms around me and pulled me close to her.
I buried my face against her shoulder and a dry sob escaped my throat.
"Oh Alice, I'm so sorry."
"You don't have to be. Never, ever apologize to me for being who you are."
"But I don't want to be a monster like...like him."
"You are not." She assured me and planted a soft kiss on my hair.
"Where are the others?" I asked her as she pulled out her cell.
"They're still at the clearing but I'm going to call them. We need to get rid of the bodies."
Then she turned to Laurent and her amber eyes narrowed into tiny slits.
"You better run now."
"No, he stays." Jasper stated and the wave of guilt that he sent towards the Rasta-haired vampire was so strong that he fell down to his knees.
"Look at them," Esme told Melanie and kneeled down next to the body of the woman.
She looked horrified and I realized that her face mimicked mine. I had never seen a dead person before. The coffin of my grandmother had been closed during the funeral ceremony. The lifeless green eyes of the man would probably haunt me for the rest of my existence.
With shaking fingertips I closed them and tried to look away, but I couldn't.
"I want you to look at their faces. The same goes for you Bella. We don't have the right to take a humans life. Anytime you let your instincts take over, you'll destroy a future."
I nodded my head and grabbed my hand around my hurting throat.
"What the hell were they doing here anyway?" Emmett asked and wrapped his arms around Rosalie's shoulder. She twisted the fingers of her right hand with his. The ruby leather of her gloves formed a strong contrast to the pale color of his skin.
"I think they're scientists." Esme told him as she pulled a tablet out of the man's jacket.
"It's ironical somehow. They're making studies about polar bears."
"Really? That's awesome. Can I see them?" Emmett asked her curiously.
"Differences in the reproductive circle of humans and bears," He read out loud.
Then he grabbed his hand around Laurent's throat and lifted him up so that his feet were dangling in the air.
"Emmett, put him down." Esme whispered. "He's the husband of your cousin. Irina is the one who has to decide what she wants to do with him."
Emmett growled and pulled back.
"If she needs help to kick your sorry carnivore ass, I'll be lucky to assist her." He assured Laurent who took two steps backwards.
"Watch your mouth, Cullen. If I hadn't bitten them...she would have done it in my place."
"No, she wouldn't." Alice stated and squeezed my hand tightly for a moment.
The fact that she had so much trust in my control made me proud, and I made a mental note that I would work even harder to get used to the painful burning that contact with humans brought with it.
"We have to burn the bodies," Esme murmured and pulled a lighter out of her handbag.
I heard the strange whimpering again and realized that it was coming out of the woman's cell.
What the hell was that?
Rosalie took the cell and pressed a few buttons on it. I recognized that it wasn't really a cell…more like radio equipment. Did they use that for recording the voices of bears?
She inhaled sharply between her teeth and slapped Laurent right across his grinning face.
"You bastard! How could you…,"
"Cool down, Barbie vamp. They're not the first humans I feed on and they won't be the last. Humans are so breakable…one more or less makes no difference."
"I bet it's going to make a huge difference for the baby who will have to live without parents now. A child needs a mother."
"Why is it bothering you?"
"I don't have enough time to explain that to you." She told him and her voice was cold like ice.
I wondered why she was angrier that the others, a lot angrier.
"Do you need to brush your hair or something?" he chuckled and grabbed his hand into her wheat blonde curls.
"Ouch!"
"Keep your hands off of my wife!" Emmett growled and the light of his amber eyes turned pitch-black.
Laurent's hand reached forward to grab her jaw. The fact that he was still trying to provoke Emmett proved how stupid he really was.
"Close your eyes." I whispered and turned Alice around to press her face against my shoulder blade. She didn't need to see. Hell, I didn't want to but somehow it was like watching a car accident. You couldn't look away…
"Emmett, don't." Rosalie croaked out. "He's not worth it."
"Jasper, calm your brother down, please." Esme pleaded and her voice trembled slightly.
"No, I won't. Laurent is evil down to the core of his silent heart. This world will be better place without him."
Laurent chuckled.
"Oh Hale, you're such a hypocrite. You've killed a hundred times more than I…maybe a thousand times more. Each scar on your body stands for another life that you have taken."
"You did what?" Melanie's voice raised two octaves.
"Melly, I'm sorry. I'll explain it to you later."
"Oh I see you're having secrets from your new girlfriend."
Something made an awful cracking noise and the sound that left Laurent's mouth made every hair on my body stand up in fear.
Then he landed on the ground, his head was pulled back in a strange angle. The dark marble of his face crashed into dozens of tiny pieces.
"Esme, give me the lighter." Jasper mumbled and she handed it him with shaking hands.
Seconds later a dark, purple colored smoke made its way up the light blue Alaskan sky while the flames turned his body into ember that melted the snow on the frozen earth.

[A/N] Thanks for reading :-) It's still difficult for me to write Bella as a vampire and I hope that I did it okay. I'd love to hear your thoughts, so please take the time to press the review button. I could really need some encouraging words right now.
