Bella's POV

In the morning, I found myself lying in a toasty warm bed. The mattress as so soft that I felt like I was floating on a cloud. I stretched; letting out a yawn. I hadn't even noticed Edward's presence at the opposite end of the room until he spoke.

"Good morning beautiful." His smooth velvet voice brought a chill down my spine. "How did you sleep?"
I peaked over at him, taking note of his position in the arm chair. "Best night's sleep I've had in a long time." I admitted.

"You are ... very interesting to watch ... when you're sleep." He said with a crooked smile.

I felt my face warm up. "I'm afraid to even ask what you mean by that."

Edward chuckled. "It's nothing bad... you just talk in your sleep a little bit." His smile widened. "It's almost as good as getting a peak inside your mind."

"Oh god, what did I say?" I groaned, hiding my face in my hands.

I had know idea that I talked in my sleep. What if I ended up saying something really embarrassing?

"Nothing really... just... you said my name a few times." Edward said with a look of content on his face. "You also started talking... as if you were having a conversation with Darius."

I sighed, shaking my head. "That's so embarrassing," I grumbled under my breath.

Edward instantly came over to sit right beside me in bed. "Don't be ashamed, it was... adorable." His hand rubbed soothing circles on my back, putting me at ease once again.

I pouted at him, letting myself lean on him. "Edward, what are we going to do? I mean... what is this between us right now?"

He wrapped an arm around me, pulling me closer to him. "What does it feel like to you?" His eyes searched mine with open curiosity.

"Well to be honest, it feels like... you are my boyfriend. And I would kind of... want you to be..." I paused, letting that thought sink in. "But I'm in a relationship with Demetri right now, who is the father to my son."

Edward nodded slowly, a thoughtful look coming to his face. "I see the dilema. It's quite a situation we are in." His tone was so light and casual that I had to look up at him.

"Well, you don't sound nearly as concerned as I do." I pointed out.

"Why would I be concerned, I put all my cards on the table. Now it's your move. All I can do is enjoy the time I have with you, until you come to a descision."

He had a point. Edward had confessed his feelings to me, although the timing was awful... he did his part. Now it was up to me to make a choice.

The thought was overwhelming. So I decided just to lean back and cuddle up to Edward for a while. We talked quietly back and forth for a while, until our landline began to ring.

Edward shifted just for a moment and grabbed the phone sitting on the nightstand. He handed it to me. "No doubt, it's your son."

I smiled brightly as I answered the phone. "Hello,"

"Momma! I miss you." Darius said from the other end of the line. "Are you coming over to eat breakfast with us?"

"Of course I will, I'll be there as soon as I can..." I looked to Edward for a moment. "Did you have fun last night? What did you and Alice do?"

"We read stories, played board games and colored!" He replied, still sounding thrilled. "Alice wants to talk with you momma."

"Ok, pass her the phone."

There was a slight pause before Alice picked up. "Bella, get your butt over here and eat, we have a feast. Hopefully you and Edward are done playing house over there."

My eyes widened as I glanced up at Edward.

Edward laughed freely. "She is psychic."

That's right. Alice can see the future. So it's obvious that she saw this all coming. Wonderful. She probably knew this whole time and didn't even give me a heads up.

"No one was playing house over here. Just ... intimate conversation..." I huffed, folding my arms across my chest.

"I'm sure those where some passionate conversations." Alice laughed her twinkling laugh. "Just get over here would you. Your son is patiently waiting for you."

"We'll be right there." I smiled and hung up the phone. "Well, it sounds like they had a good night as well."

Edward grinned, leaning in to plant a tender kiss on my forehead. "I'm sure they did, but I'm also pretty sure Darius is eager to reunit with his mother."

My heart ached as I thought of my baby boy, it drove me to spring up out of bed. I had to get ready, it wouldn't look good if I showed up in the same clothes I was in yesterday.

Also, I wanted to get cleaned up a little, I needed a shower and get a handle of my hair. I looked like a mess.

"I just need... a few human minutes." I said turning to look at Edward; who stayed perfectly still at the edge of the bed.

He gave me a curious look. "Take all the time you need."

With that, I picked out some clothes from my bag and made my way to the bathroom. I closed the door... but not completely. The thought of Edward possibly going past the door and peaking in at me... it filled me with excitment.
I knew it was silly of me to do this... but the possibility of sparking something with Edward had me giddy; like the hormonal teenage girl; that I never thought I would be.

I took all my clothes off and adjusted the water for the shower until it was perfect. Not to hot and not to cold. I hoped in, sighing in relief as the warm water bouncing against my skin. The water pressure was impressive, it almost stung to let it hit against the sensative areas of my body.

As I washed myself, I thought about the huge choice I would have to make... very soon. I wasn't sure if I had the heart to end things with Demetri... but I also didn't want to hurt Edward either. I needed time. I needed to process my feelings and Darius'. There was no way I could make this choice without getting my son involved.

I personally cared deeply for Demetri, but the love and the passion just wasn't there. Not like it is with Edward. Not only that, but I can have real conversations with Edward, we have a lot more in common. Our taste in music, literature and our personalities just mashed together well.

Demetri and I have nothing alike, the only thing that we share in common is our love and devotion to our son.

Demetri is interested in video games and hunting. It was probably the two things that he talked about the most. He detested books and even scoffed at the thouht of school and education.

That didn't make him a bad choice. What made him a bad choice was our toxic relationship. He is always going to make huge... painful mistakes afterwards he would seek instant comfort and acceptance. And I'll always forgive him and offer him comfort. It would be an endless cycle. He won't change. Because he knows that he doesn't have to change. He knows that I will just forgive and forget. So, he will treat me however he wishes, knowing that he will be able to get away with it. Even if this was causing great harm to my health.

The choice was as clear as day, who I'd prefer to be with. However, it was more complicated than that. This wasn't just my own life. This was also about Darius. If Darius wasn't ok with the idea of it... than there was no way that I could go through with dating Edward. I wouldn't make my son miserable for my own selfish desires.

No matter what, I would have to speak with both Darius and Demetri. This wasn't a situation that I wanted to stay in. I wouldn't string these men along. I just needed to have a few hard conversations and make my choice. And it would be made today.

It didn't take long for me to get done. I had picked out a flattering outfit. One that took a bit of courage for me to put on, just for the fact that it was usually skin tight; showing all the contours of my body. But since I've lost weight, it was fitting perfectly fine. Which was almost disappointing.

Either way, the moment I stepped out of the bathroom; fully ready, Edward met me at the stairs. His expression turning unreadable as his eyes scanned from the top of my head down to my feet. I had thought that I saw his eyes linger around my chest and hips, but it was so quick that I second guessed myself.

"You look gorgeous." He leaned towards me; inhaling slowly. "Painfully perfect."

I blushed, giving him a tiny shove. "I'm far from perfect, but thank you."

"I'd have to politely disagree with you." He continued, walking slowly down the stairs with me; watching me carefully to make sure that I didn't trip and fall.

I paused as we got to the door, turning to wrap my arms around his shoulders. "I need to talk with you, for just one second before we leave."

Edward nodded, resting his arms around my waist. His hand slid into my hair. "I'm all ears."

"I need you to know that... if it was one hundred percent up to me, I'd choose you. In a heart beat. I want... to be with you. I want to give us a try... But I can't make that choice. It would be selfish of me to do so. I'm going to speak with Darius about it... and have a conversation with Demetri as well..."

Edward nodded, concern dancing in his eyes. "I fully support your choices Bella. However, I don't want to see anything bad happen to you. So when you talk with Demetri... please be careful. We may be several hours away from him... but he is the world's best tracker. If he wants to find us... he will."

I swallowed hard; as I imagined a furious Demetri, showing up to slaughter us all. "I'll be careful and I won't say anything that will make him come here."

Edward sighed, leaning down to lightly press his lips to mine. I eagerly kissed him back; feeling as though I was on cloud nine. "We will probably have to stop doing that, until I talk with Darius..."

"I completely understand." Edward smiled, slowly releasing me.

Instantly I missed the contact, but held myself back from returning to his embrace. I had to keep my distance, at least until I had my talk with Darius. I just hoped that Darius would be open to the idea and not be to upset with me.

After I got everything off my chest that I wanted to say to Edward, I gathered all my courage and metally prepared myself with my conversation with Darius. Even as we exited the tiny cabin and climbed into his Volvo I concentrated all my attention to what I would say to my son.

At the moment I couldn't decide when I should slip this into conversation. I should probably do this in privacy. Maybe I can pull him aside after breakfast.

I wonder what he is going to say? Would he cry? God I hoped that he didn't get upset. What if ... I end up scarring my child for life over this conversation? What if it ruins his life..? What if he ends up hating me?

All these thoughts where eating away at me.

Edward must have noticed, because his lightly laid his hand in my lap; bringing me completely out of my thoughts.

I turned to him; chewing my lip. "I'm okay, I'm just nervous." I sighed.

"There is no rush, if you aren't ready to have this conversation with Darius you don't have to." He gently took my hand; raising it to his mouth and kissing it. "I'm not going anywhere... I have an eternity..."

I smiled at him; my heart skipping a beat at his words. "That means a lot... but there is no way I can stall. The longer this isn't figured out the longer I'll be lying to everyone. There isn't much I hate more than a liar."

Edward nodded with a thoughtful look coming to his face. "If Darius isn't willing to approve of us being together; I'll respect that... but I'll never give up."

"I don't want you to." I said shyly, giving his hand a squeeze.

But, to soon we had to pull our hands away when we made it to the main cabin; where Darius was waiting on the porch with a huge smile.

I didn't even have my door opened the whole way before Darius was running over; opening it the rest of the way and jumping into me. His little arms came around me tightly... almost to tightly. But I didn't stop him. I only hugged him close.

"Momma," His voice sounded relieved and the look on his face was precious. His little cheeks where slightly flushed as I got out of the car.

I refused to let him go, pulling him up to sit on my hip. "Where you good for Alice?" I kissed the top of his head.

He nodded, resting his face in the crook of my neck. "Yes, we had a lot of fun. Alice told me all kinds of stories about Jasper."

At the mention of Jasper; I noticed Edward's expression turn glum. It was only for a moment, before he masked it with a look of curiosity.

"Jasper was a wonderful man." I spoke quietly as we entered the cabin. "I didn't get the chance to know him very well. But he was a kind soul."

The moment we passed the threshold, my nose was assaulted by delicious smells coming from the kitchen. I followed the smell and as we made it into the kitchen; my jaw dropped.

Alice wasn't kidding, she had made a feast. There was muffins, bagels, a variety of fruits, cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, anything and everything you could think of. She had set up each thing in a buffet style fashion.

"There is enough food here... to feed an army." I chuckled.

"Well eat to your hearts content, both of you." Alice grinned brightly gesturing to the table. "I also have several drinks for you guys to choose from. Orange juice, chocolate milk, coffee... anything."

Darius didn't hesitate to jump in, stacking up his plate.

"I really appreciate all this." I said as I followed after Darius, filling up a plate as well.

I hadn't realized how hungry I was.

But I noticed that Edward was now nowhere to be found. I looked around; which caught Alice's attention.

"He went out to hunt... he wanted to give you and your son some space. Until you had a chance to talk with him." She explained, patting my shoulder. "I'll be heading out as well."

I chewed my lip nervously. "Will you be far? I'm not really sure how Darius is going to handle this situation. He might become angry with me... and when your around... it seems to help his mood."

"No worries, if I see the need to step in I'll be right there." Alice said with a nervous smile. "But, it's going to be ok."

I hoped that she was right.

With that Alice gracefully walked out of the room. That only left Darius and I. The room was now silent as we made our plates and took a comfortable spot at the kitchen table.

For a while we didn't talk, I just watched as my son cheerfully ate his breakfast. I was dreading this conversation.

Would he understand? Would he get angry with me?

"What's wrong momma?" Darius spoke up after a while, a frown was on his face.

Anxiety twisted in my stomach. "Well... I had something that I wanted to talk with you about."

"Okay, tell me." Darius said with a serious look.

"I'd like to talk with you about love." I said chewing my lip. "Do you know... what love is?"

Darius gave me a confused look. "It means you care about someone and want to be around them all the time."

I nodded with a tiny smile. "You're right. But there are also, different kinds of love."

"Yeah, I know. Like you love me. But you love dad differently."

"Well that's what I want to talk with you about. I do love you, dearly. And I did love your dad... but things have changed a little bit. I don't love your dad the same way I used to."

Darius' expression didn't change. "Why?"

"Well, we have changed, we aren't the same people. And... I'm not...happy anymore." It was hard for me to say any of this.

Tears came to Darius' eyes. "Are you going away?"

"No, of course not. I'm letting this choice be up to you honey. I don't want to make things hard for you. I'll stay and try to make things work." I said quickly opening my arms to him.

He instantly came to me and embraced me; crying. "I wish that you still loved dad." He said quickly. "But if you aren't happy... I understand."

Tears slid down my cheeks as I held him tightly. "I'm sorry that I'm making you sad. I never meant to."

"I'm not sad because you decided to do this. I'm sad that dad has made you feel so upset that you don't want to love him anymore. It's because of what he did to Edward, isn't it?"

I dabbed at my tears quickly. "That's a good example of why, yes. The way that your father wants to live... isn't the way I'd like to live. It would be unfair to force each other to change into someone else."

Darius nodded, leaning his head on my chest. "Will I never see him again?"

"You will, your father and I can make some arrangements and plan for there to be days that you can spend time with me and time you can spend with him."

Darius sighed, wiping his face. "This is the worst day of my life."

His words broke my heart into a million pieces. "Honey, please don't say that."

"It's all dad's fault." He huffed, a frown coming to his face. "He made you sad. He lies to you and hurts your feelings. Now we can't be a family anymore." He was steadily getting more angry.

"Take a deep breath." I said, rubbing his back.

He pushed my hand away and got out of my arms. "No, this is bullshit!"

I felt my jaw drop. "Where have you heard someone talking like that?" Now I was getting mad. "Darius Charles, don't you ever say that again."

Darius instantly was calming himself down; but he kept a sour look on his face. "Dad says it all the time."

I shook my head with a frown. "That is a bad word, I don't want to hear you saying it again. Or you will be grounded."

"Fine," He snapped, and took his plate. "I'm going somewhere else to eat." He stomped out of the room; looking angry, hurt and confused.

I should have known that he wasn't going to take this well. At first I thought that he might accept it. But now he was just angry. He was hurt. He believes that he is losing his family... and in a way he wasn't wrong.

There would no longer be the three of us together. We would be seperate from now on. But that didn't mean that we wouldn't both be there for him. When he understands that... he will be ok. Hopefully.

It probably would be to soon to bring up Edward. I would wait for another day to bring that up. He was already dealing with Demetri and I splitting up.

The whole situation made it hard for me to focus, it was hard for me to just sit here and eat. Knowing that my son was on his own, trying to figure out his own emotions and thoughts.

I could hear him, silently weeping from the other room, but I didn't move. I wouldn't always be there to help him through difficult emotions and situations. Some times it's best if he just gets out all his feelings and thoughts. And work on dealing with them on his own.

Yes, he was young, but mentally he was old enough to process and understand his emotions.

It took nearly an hour, before he returned to the kitchen, a sad look on his face. "I'm sorry I said a bad word."

My heart melted, but I kept a firm look on my face. "I forgive you, just please don't talk like that again."

"I promise I won't," He sniffed, rubbing his eyes. "But momma... is the reason that you don't love dad anymore... is it my fault?"

I shook my head. "No, not at all. In fact you are the reason that I've been staying with your father."

Darius' face appeared to relax, as if a weight has been lifted off of him. "Do you think we could still do things as a family once in a while? Like go on walks in the forest? Or go out for ice cream?"

The hope that filled my son's eyes almost made me start to cry all over again. Could I tell him one little white lie?

Or would it do more damage to him if I was to tell him that it would never probably happen again in the same way he is thinking.

"I think after I tell your father my choice he may not want to do those kinds of things with me." I said gently. "But who knows what the future holds."

Darius gave me a small smile. "Alice knows, maybe when she comes back we can ask her."

"That sounds like a wonderful idea. But for the time being, I just want to make sure that you understand what's happening. I plan on ending my relationship with your dad and just be his friend. I'll talk with him about scheduling times for each of us to spend time with you. And I'll do my best to plan some time we do something as a family... as long as he is willing."

Darius sighed, tears coming to his eyes again. "I understand what you are telling me momma... It's just hard to hear it... It's hard to accept this. But no matter what you say; this isn't my choice to make. I don't want you to be sad... so if that means this is the only way for you to be happy... I won't hold it against you."

This meant a lot to me. It still was incredible how smart and mature my son could be at times. I was relieved that the hard part of this conversation was over.

The only thing I had to tell Darius is that I've fallen in love with another man. But he wasn't ready to hear something like that. It would only upset him further. He needed time to deal with the information that I threw at him.

"We can talk about this any time you want. You can ask me anything."

"When are you going to... tell dad? When are we going home?" Darius asked with a look of concern.

"Well, I'll be talking with your father about it today. And judging by how well he takes it... we will go back home for me to pack up my things."

"B-but where will you go?"

"I'll most likely stay with your grandparents; Charlie and Rene." I sighed. I'd hate to be a burden on them. They had a baby at home that they were taking care of. But maybe they could use a hand.

Darius pouted, folding his arms across his chest. "So you will be spending all your time with little greg?" He sounded absolutely envious.

"I'm sure grammy Rene wouldn't mind a little help with him. He is only a few months old now." I stroked the top of Darius' head.

"But you're my momma!" Darius yipped.

"Yes and nothing will change that. No matter what."

Darius looked down, a sad look on his face. "Ok, but I need you more momma, little Greg is a normal human. I'm not."

I winced at his words. Did he truly feel like he wasn't normal? I had never considered Darius' feelings of being partially vampire. Did he feel like a monster?

"Darius, you may be a little different than others, but that doesn't matter. I'll never let anything bad happen to you."

"I know, but... if you aren't around... to help me... dad will make things worse. He wants me to be more like him. He wants me to drink off humans." Darius said with a sad look. "But I don't want that."

This was news to me. "Your father talked to you about drinking off humans?"

Darius nodded cautiously. "He tries to get me to drink from the blood bags. But I just don't want to. I know it will make you sad. And I know you are human... so it just doesn't feel right."

This filled me with rage. How dare he try to get my son to drink human blood. Even after knowing how I feel about it. He knew I didn't want to raise Darius that way.

"This is another perfect example of why I'm making the choice to leave this relationship." I said gently. "If your father respected me at all, he wouldn't go behind my back and do things like that."

Darius nodded slighty. "I'm beginning to see what you mean." He paused for a moment. "You both have an idea of what is best for me. And you can't agree. So you would rather stay seperate... so you don't make each other angry and miserable..."

"Yes, exactly." I smiled at him.

He finally offered me a bright smile. "I think I finally understand."

"I'm glad and I hope you can forgive me."

"I'm not angry any more. I just want the both of you to be happy. Even if it means being apart."

"Thank you honey." I kissed the top of his head.

As I said this, I watched as Alice came prancing back into the room with a wide smile. "How was breakfast?"

Darius giggled, racing over to hug her. "It was a rollercoaster of emotions." He buried his head in her chest. "But everything is ok now."

Alice held him close, letting out a twinkling laugh. "Well what's the plans for today?" She rested her gaze on me now.

I didn't have an answer yet. I wasn't sure if I was ready to confront Demetri. Not yet anyway. What if he got angry and decided to track us down?

Darius looked to me as well now, a thoughtful look on his face. "Might as well get the hard parts over, so you can enjoy the rest of the day."

"It's not that easy sweetie. You know how angry your father gets." I chewed my lip.

"Well, maybe he will take the news...ok" Darius said with a frown, before looking to Alice. "Do you have an visions on this? Do you know how my dad will react to the news... that my mom is done being with him?"

Alice gave the both of us a sad look. "I have three possible outcomes. Firstly, he will begin a murderous slaughter of everyone in the area in a search for us. Secondly, he will... end his life. Thirdly he will remain as he is."

Darius made a face at that. "He would... end his life? How would he do that?"

I didn't want to continue that conversation. "Let's not talk about it... I just won't say anything yet. Maybe I just need to wait a little longer."

Alice sighed, watching between us. "I don't think time is going to make these possibilities any better. The longer that the two of you stay away from him... the more angry he will become..."

I was afraid of things getting worse, but I wasn't sure if I was ready to have this conversation with him. What would he do? Who would he hurt?

Alice lightly squeezed my shoulder. "Let's wait until later tonight. Maybe something will change. I'll have the others talk with him... maybe prepare him for your conversation."

I nodded letting out a relieved breath. "Sounds good to me." I wasn't sure if I could handle much more of this. I'd like to just start the day and forget about the whole mess.

However something good did come out of all this. My son was alright with my choice. He supported my decision to leave Demetri. This means my future with Edward was looking brighter.

Just at the thought my Edward I watched in joy as he reentered the room. A crooked smile was dancing on his face as our eyes met. Surely he heard the whole conversation and was drawing the same conclusion.

"I have an amazing idea for what we can do, there is a ski lodge a few miles away that we can go to." Alice offered with a brilliant smile. "Have you ever skied Bella?"

I shook my head slightly. "Never, I'm not particularly good at things like that. I was never very athletic."

Darius was grinning from ear to ear, looking like he was about to burst with excitement. "Can we go momma, I want to ski,"

How could I deny him? "Of course, if you really want to go."

Edward slipped his way over to my side. "Don't worry, there are also hot tubs and spas." He spoke quietly.

My face flushed as I felt his light touch at my back. "That sounds wonderful. I suppose that's where I'll be."

Maybe Edward would join me.

That thought was exciting enough to lift my spirits.

"Well than, let's get you two into some warmer clothes." Alice laughed as she and Darius practically danced from the room.

I peaked at Edward shyly, my face turning pink as his hand went out to my cheek. "Are you alright?"

I nodded, letting my eyes close. "I'm fine now." Slowly I leaned up to my toes and pecked his lips quickly.

Edward smiled in response, his topaz eyes trapped me. I couldn't look away. But Darius' voice from the other room made me jump.

"Momma come on! Hurry so we can leave."

"I'm coming sweetie." I called back to him, before giving Edward a timid look. "I'll be right back."

Edward chuckled. "Hurry back to me."

My heart raced in my chest at his words and I quickly made my way upstairs to where Alice and Darius was waiting for me. Alice threw a smug smile in my direction.

"Let's pick out something gorgeous for you to wear." She turned to her closet and flicked the light on to present probably hundreds of different outfits.

"Honestly Alice, I'm most likely not going anywhere but the hot tub." My face warmed slightly.

"Well come look over here, I have dozens of swim suits you can pick from." She pulled me inside her closest quickly.

Most of the swim suits I was looking at was...a bit to revealing for me to even look at, let alone put on. What should I wear? Something modest and respectable? Or something a little suggestive?

How did I want to portray myself to Edward?

Innocent? Flirtatious? Seductive?

It was a tough choice, so I decided to pick a couple different bathing suits, I would decide on which one to wear once we got there. Alice picked some warmer clothing for Darius and I and helped us pack up some essentials for the trip.

When we were finished Darius and Alice headed down to the car to start packing it up with our luggage. I made my way back to Edward; who was patiently waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs.

He eyed me for just a moment, before pecking the top of my head. "You look beautiful." He spoke quietly as he lightly stroked my cheek.

"Thank you." I blushed at his compliment. I wasn't used to being flattered so much. Sure, Demetri did once in a while, but his words where always fueled by his lust and desire for my body. Edward was looking at me as a person. As if he was admiring a fine painting. There wasn't hunger in his eyes, just... passion.

It was a nice feeling.

Edward walked closely beside me as we went to the car. I could just barely feel him. The slight contact filled me with bliss and with for once, I've never felt so safe and loved... for a very long time.

Darius was already in his car seat in the back; he watched Edward and I curiously, but he didn't comment as Edward opened the door for me to sit next to him in the front.

Alice grinned at us, sitting next to Darius. She had strapped an iPad to the back of the front seat, so Darius could watch a movie while we made the drive.

Even though this place wasn't very far away Darius expressed that he wanted to watch TV. So Alice being Alice had made that possible for him. It warmed my heart how much Alice looked after Darius' wants and needs. She was a true friend.

With no doubt in my mind, this would be one of my top five best days of my life.

Monica's Point of View
*Reader-Warning*

That stupid bitch. What was so damn special about Bella Swan? Why was Edward only concerned for her? Now they would be away, spending alone time together.

They are probably bonding, getting close and comfortable. Bella gets everything she wants. She is still human... she has a son... a man that loves her dearly.

She needs knocked down. And I knew just the way to do it.

We had been monitoring Demetri for the past twenty four hours, we all where taking turns babysitting. It was nearly four in the morning now. That means that it was my turn.

I met Emmett at the door of the living room.

He glanced at me. "He is still furious, I'm sure you can manage to play with his emotions enough for him to calm down."

I gave Emmett an innocent look. "I'll do more than that."

"What does that mean?" Emmett narrowed his eyes at me. "Don't do anything reckless."

I patted his cheek. "Don't worry about me." At the contact, I pushed my powers towards Emmett; which instantly brought a reaction from him.

He smiled, his body melting into a calmer stance. "Thanks for that,"

"Any time," I nodded, before kissing him on the cheek and walking past him. I closed the door behind me, and made sure that it was only Demetri and I in the room.

Demetri didn't even look in my direction, he just stared out the window.

"Hello Demi," I spoke softly.

He didn't move a muscle, instead he growled. "If you call me that again I'll kill you."

The menacing sound of his voice brought chills down my spine and just for a moment I almost changed my mind about my plan. He was terrifying.

The fear that I felt brought on a flash back from my time imprisoned with the Volturi. My body trembled for a moment as I attempted to squash those feelings away. I never wanted to feel that kind of fear again.

I would be in control of my life from now on. I wouldn't live in fear.

Concentrating as hard as I could I pushed a huge wave of emotion towards Demetri. It was the largest wave that I was ever able to create. There was no doubt in my mind that he wouldn't be able to resist this.

Just as I thought, Demetri seemed to relax. He turned to me with annoyance in his eyes. "Stop messing with my emotions." This time he sounded only mildly annoyed.

I moved closer to him, lightly touching his chest my hand. "Don't fight this. I understand what you're going through." I whispered to him.

With the contact, I was able to force more emotions inside him. Deeper more complex emotions began to dance in his eyes as he watched me.

"Please... stop this." He was still trying to hold on, but I could see that it was to late. He was coming closer and his arms where slowly wrapping around my waist.

I had him now.

"I hate to see you suffer, please just... let go. Don't let yourself hurt anymore." I lightly leaned forward and let my lips press against his.

Take that Bella. I'm going to have sex with your boyfriend. I'll ruin this relationship to the point of no return.

Demetri responded with passion as he kissed me back, he hungrily ripped my clothes from my body. The force of him was overwhelming and before I could even think he hand me pinned against the wall.

One of his hands was twisted harshly into my hair; pushing my head into the wall. While the other hand was roaming my body. He was so rough that it was painful.

"It's wonderful getting to really lose control, I couldn't be nearly this rough with Bella." Demetri hissed with a wide smile. With that being said he forcefully penetrated me.

I screamed in pain and attempted to move from his grasp, but his grip around me was to strong; I was trapped.

He laughed joyously at my cries and continued to force himself in and out of me as hard as he could.

I attempted to throw a wave of calmness to him, but he deflected it easily. He was completely unphased by it.

"This is what you wanted, wasn't it?" He growled, twisting his hand in my hair.

"Stop, please!" I sobbed as I continued to fight against him.

But he didn't stop, in fact he appeared to be enjoying himself. I felt him empty himself inside of me, but he didn't stop there. The moment he was done he threw me to the ground, he thrusted his member into my mouth.

"Lick it off, you filthy whore." He spit at me, his eyes dancing with satisfaction.

I was completely horrified and humiliated... everything that I had promised myself that I'd never feel again. Now it made sense. Why Bella was quick to leave town with Edward. She was being abused... raped most likely. This guy had some serious issues. This hadn't been the first time he has done something like this... He really wasn't a good guy.

Bella... I'm sorry.

As I did what he asked, he seemed to calm down and realize what had happened. He glared at me, looking just as horrified as I was.

"You little bitch!" He growled at me, slapping me hard across the face.

I winced, backing myself away from him. "I-I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to..." I stopped mid sentence.

Why am I apologizing? I had just wanted to get him horny enough to have sex with me. I didn't want him to get so physically aggressive and rape me.

I was still trembling. "What the fuck was that?" I yelled at him, trying to find something to cover myself with.

He growled as he paced the room. "You messed with my emotions... you made me... cheat on my Bella. You worthless bitch."

"And you know what... I was trying to seduce you yes... but what you did... that was rape. That was forceful and painful. You are a monster."

Demetri narrowed his eyes at me, now coming closer to me.

I flinched, backing away from him, but I was against the wall. There was no escape. I looked around the room, but

I was trapped here.

"Does anyone else know what happened here?" He spoke with seriousness in his tone.

"No, everyone else is out hunting." Why did I tell him that? "Aren't you going to explain yourself? I think you owe me that." I said quickly, trying to stall the conversation long enough for me to think of a way to escape.

Demetri rolled his eyes. "I don't owe you a thing. I've had a problem with sex... for a very long time... ever since I was human..."

"Tell me. For Bella's own safety. Tell me what you're talking about." I continued.

"Since when do you care about Bella's safety?"

"I hate her, with a burning passion... but what I just experienced... no one deserves that... and if you have problems like this... you're going to end up really killing her."

Demetri paused, with a thoughtful look on his face. "I'd never hurt her on purpose. It's just... I've been doing this a very long time... and I'm not sure I ever slept with a woman... that lived through it... even as a human... it's just... very appealing... to do a little damage when having sex."

"You get turned on by violent sex?"

"More than that... not just the violent part. In the past... I've killed every woman I've slept with. In a way, I'll know that she could only have sex with me. No one else could have her but me. She would die by my hands."

He sounded completely insane and for a moment I was terrified at the man standing in front of me. This was the scariest moment of my entire life... right here... and right now. Because I knew what was going to happen.

"So, why haven't you killed Bella?"

He paused, raising a brow at me. "Because I love her. And I admit, it's very hard for me not to kill her... I want to know that I'm the only man that will own her body and heart. But I'd be more miserable without her."

"You are very controlling. Bella is the only one that owns her body. Not you, or anymore else. If she wishes to be with someone else, she has the right to do so. You aren't her master." I glared at him. "You aren't safe for her to be with."

He shrugged his shoulders. "Maybe I'm not, maybe I'm not ready for a real relationship. I've truly missed having sex like this. I do love Bella. But maybe I need some practice. How about we continue this, I'll have someone to practice on. Eventually I'll be able to do this gently."

I shook my head. "I don't think so. This was a huge mistake."

Demetri chuckled, his expression seemed to relax. "I was only joking, no need to get so tense. Do you really think I could let you live after hearing so many details from my past. And like I said before. I kill every woman that I slept with."

"Wait." I held my hand up. "Allow me just one more moment." I trembled with a pleading look on my face.

Demetri hesitated, watching me with narrowed eyes. "Fine, you have a moment, what do you want?"

"Can I just talk with Emmett, one more time?"

He analyzed me closely. "Fine, as long as you don't say anything stupid."

I nodded and quickly got my phone out and dialed Emmett's number. Please pick up... please don't ignore me.

"Hello?" Emmett spoke from the other end of the phone.

I breathed out in relief. "Hey Emmett,"

"What's up, you sound scared, is everything ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, I just wanted to call and tell you something important." I felt tiny smile come to my face. "Emmett, I'm sorry that I messed up your chances with Rosalie... But.. I really did enjoy our time together. And... I think that I might... love you..."

Emmett was silent on the other end of the phone. "I'm pretty fond of you too, sometimes... but I'm just not ready for something serious right now. Maybe in the future. But I still love Rose. Hope you understand."

There was a slight pain in my heart. But I had already known Emmett's feelings. I could feel them every day. I knew that he wasn't over Rose, but I did want him to know my feelings.

"That's alright, I'm patient." I laughed softly. "Em, please watch over Bella."

"Why do you say that?" Emmett asked with a sound of concern in his voice. "Why does it sound like you are saying goodbye... is something going on over there."

"Yeah, Demetri is a monster. Don't let him near..." I couldn't get the rest of the sentence out. I felt a sharp twist in my neck and suddenly everything went black.

Alice's Point of view

Just as we made it to the ski lodge a vision came to me. I froze in my seat as I witnessed the scene right before my eyes. Demetri and Monica made love... and Demetri killed Monica. Emmett was rushing to the scene and containing him.

Edward; who was still seated in the front seat turned to glance at me with discomfort. He know doubt was reading my mind and seeing the scene for himself.

I knew this wasn't going to effect Edward in the slightest. But I knew that Emmett was going to take this hard. He didn't like to admit it, but he was warming up to Monica. She hadn't even realized it herself, but she had feelings for him to.

Even though she was so sure that it was Edward, who was her mate. I had a vision of them, pretty far ahead in the future their relationship would have blossomed into something pretty wonderful.

But that has changed now.

Demetri was an awful person. He didn't deserve Bella, or Darius in his life. He wasn't safe. And the more information I get from him the more I can see his future. Thanks to Monica, Demetri will handle the news of Bella ending the relationship better.

He will be hurt, but he was also be relieved. Because now he can go back to his old ways. Of having violent sex and murdering his partners. He will think of this as a time to practice, for when him and Bella would get back together.

But he was delusional. Once they split up, Bella would never return to him. It wasn't safe and I knew Edward would stand in the way of that happening. But where did this leave Darius? We can't just let him be around his father. What if Demetri tries to get him to do awful things as well. He doesn't need a bad influence in his life like that.

But Darius loves his father dearly.

Things where a mess... I don't know what we were going to do.
