Chapter 3: Guess who's coming for dinner?
Bella's POV…
Edward wanted to marry me. I hated marriage; I mean look at the way it turned out for my parents. Not too good. I wanted him to change me and he would not do it until I marry him. Talk about demands. Ugh, if he doesn't do it, I'm afraid something will happen to me. Well, I decided nothing. I'm just torn.
Besides, I am to graduate, and I haven't seen Jacob in so long. Will he forgive me, I hope so, he's my best friend. But he will no longer answer my calls. So, I will go to him.
Well, I tried was more like it. But Edward sabotaged my truck. We had an argument and he would not let me go to Jacob. I was so mad. How dare he just control me like that! Jacob saved me from the water. How can Edward not trust him. One other explanation, Edward's jealous of Jacob, and I just know it.

As I sit in the living room, we all talked about the strange disappearances that are happening in Seattle. Edward is afraid the Volturi will step in soon and I was afraid for my life. Why will he not change me damn it?
Alice was talking about having a party when all of a sudden, she looks afraid. Edward's eyes grow twice their size and Jasper flits to her side.
''What is it?'' Jasper asked softly.
''It's Caius, he's coming. '' Alice said in a whisper.
''What is it because of the killings?'' I ask.
''No Bella, but I see that he will soon find out and deal with it. He comes about you. ''Alice explains.
''What? Alice, did you see if he kills me? ''I asked feeling my throat suddenly start to constrict with fear.
Edward growls and pulls me to his body. She shook her head but would not tell me anything further. Edward takes me to his room period he sits me down and looks me in the eye.
''There's nothing we can do. We cannot run, Demetri will track us down in no time. All we can do is wait. I saw in Alice's thoughts that he may not harm you yet, but you must be brave. He means to make sure you are one of us and will not expose our kind. That's his mission. As long as we stay calm, it'll be alright." Edward explains to me gently.
It was hard to feel calm when the most ruthless of the three Kings was coming for you.
''Edward, I beg you, please change me! '' I say panic rising in me.
''No Bella, marry me! ''Edward said crossing his arms.
He now looks so stubborn that I could hardly look at him. I can't believe he was this way to me. I just was not ready, what the hell?
''No, I'm not ready yet. Besides, I got to go…it's late. ''I say as I get up.
''Bella …''Edward started to say but I cut him off.
''Not now, can't talk now, let me go. ''I say as I leave the room.
As he drove me home, I was lost in my thoughts. Caius was coming for me. Uncertainty was taken over my heart along with a strange thrill. Something inside me was calming to the chaos ruling inside of me. So strange I should be trembling in fear at the thought. But I wasn't anymore. Then a wicked thought entered my mind, if Edward would not change me perhaps, he will.
