Authors Note: I don't know what to say. I am touched that people were so touched by the last chapter. I would like to dedicate this chapter to Kell because she is such a great reviewer and has been really nice to me. And she is not to pushy about me updating, unlike some people who have told me to update 1765 times.

Right after the knock someone opened the door. It turned out to be just Richard. He was only partially dressed. He had pants on, but no shirt. I blushed and looked away. When he saw that I was up he came over to the bed and sat on the edge.

"Did you sleep well?" I debated lying and saying yes, but decided, what good would that do me.

"As well as expected." He seemed to sense that there was more to this story then I was telling, but he let it go.

"Are you hungry?" Once again my stomach answered for me by growling obnoxiously loud. "I take that as a yes." He smiled and once again I was stunned back into the reality that I was taken away from all that I loved and knew, by this creature.

I was a little surprised. I thought of Edward and his family as humans, and almost never really cared that they were different. With Richard I knew and I didn't like it.

"Let me take a shower and then I will be downstairs. I won't take long for the shower, but getting down the stairs will." I half smiled at this. I wondered what I could do with all of those stairs. You know, but not in a kill myself way. It was just that I had never been exposed to such a large and long danger.

"I'll wait for you. That way you won't hurt yourself and it won't take nearly as long." I blushed at the thought of him being out here while I was in the shower. Then I realized that I had no clothes other then what I had been wearing yesterday.

"I don't have anything to wear."

"I took the initiative and bought you some clothes. They are in the drawers over there." He gestured to the dresser that I had seen the other day.

"Oh."

I walked over there and managed to stub my toe and hit my head on the bed. By the way that Richard was breathing I could tell that he found my fall amusing. Stupid vampires.

"I see what you mean by being accident prone. There is no way that anyone else would have managed to trip in that way." I got up and made my way over to the dresser and opened up the top drawer.

Inside I found a bra and underwear, but they were definitely more expensive then the kind that I would have bought. Then I moved on to the next drawer. In there I found a black silk shirt that dipped low in the front. Then in the drawer below I found a pair of light blue jeans.

Then I hurried, as fast as I could without tripping, into the bathroom.

Quickly shedding my clothes I stepped into the shower and turned it on. After debating on whether to wash my hair or not I decided that I might as well.

When I was done, I put my hair in a towel and got dressed. I needed a brush and a hair dryer. After trying to find one for 5 minutes I gave up and went out; back into the bedroom. I took the towel off and hung it up.

"Do you have a brush and hair dryer that I could use?"

"Yes, but you look beautiful. Keep your hair like that." He got up and handed me a pair of socks and a pair of black leather boots. "Wear these."

I slipped them on and found that they fit well. If I knew what custom made felt like then I would probably say that these were.

"Are you ready to go?" I nodded and he picked me up and went outside of the bedroom. "I will give you a tour of the house after you eat." I nodded again. "Have you ever fallen twelve stories?" I shook my head. "Well let's try. It really is an exhilarating feeling."

My eyes opened wide and the next second he shifted me so that I was parallel with his body. He then grabbed my waist and jumped over the railing and we fell.

Even though I knew that I shouldn't I left my eyes open and watched us fall down twelve stories. When we were very close to the bottom Richard me and held me the way that you would hold a baby so that when we landed I wouldn't get hurt.

When we reached the bottom, you would have never known that we had fallen. When Richard's feet touched the floor made no noise at all. Despite the fact that I should have been scared I was happy. That had been so fun. To bad I could have never done that with Edward.

Richard seemed to sense that I had been thinking about Edward because he growled softly and set me on the ground. He then leaned over my neck and put his mouth on my neck. I stiffened. Was this the moment that I was going to die?

AN2: Am I evil or what? Wahahahaha. I know that I you are thinking that I am right. Well guess what. I am………….not. I decided not to leave you with a cliffhanger. Here anyway. Back to the story.

"You had best just get over him. You are never going to see your precious Edward again." I tried my best to stifle a sob and then he leaned away.

After several minutes my heart rate had returned to normal and I was calm enough to walk.

Richard grabbed my hand and led me down the hallway that we had gone down yesterday.

When we reached the kitchen there was a plate of waffles with syrup and a glass of orange juice. After making sure that I had what I needed, Richard left the kitchen. A minute later he came back and with him was a small elderly woman.

"This is Darey. She is a witch. Before I change you, she will place a spell on you that will make the change go by faster. Then while you are going through the change she will cast a spell on you that will enhance all, and any of your powers. Chances are that the spell will also cause more then one power to appear."

Darey was clearly old. She had a lot of deep wrinkles set in her face. She was about as tall as Alice and she had snow white hair. When I looked in her eyes they spoke volumes, but the most prominent thing was that they spoke of time, knowledge and cruelty.

Her eyes were hard, yet they had a timeless age about them. They said that she knew things that you would never know. What even helped them in this speaking was the act that they were blue. Not just any blue either. They were ice blue.

When I was done staring I had the piece of mind to say something. "It is nice to meet you Darey." All I got was a hmph. Well, so much for trying.

"Finish your breakfast Isabella. Unfortunately something has come up and I will not be able to show you the house, because I will be out of the house. When I return from my business I will show you the house and the area around it."

With that he left me in the kitchen and Darey went with him.

I slowly ate my breakfast and wondered what I was going to do until he came back. I finished my breakfast and washed my dishes. Because I didn't know were to put them I just in the drying rack.

When I was done with that, as if he sensed that I was done Richard came into the room. Before I even thought about what I was saying a question flew past my lips.

"Do you have a shorter name that I could call you? Richard is a long thing to say."

His lips twitched. "You can call me anything that comes to mind that at least sounds like my name. So long as it is not offensive, for then I will have to punish you, and a creature like yourself should not be punished. Come on."

He grabbed my arm and picked me up again. This time he ran through a different door. This one led to the outside. When we reached the outside I closed my eyes and waited for him to stop.

It didn't take long for us to reach our destination. When I opened my eyes I saw what looked to be a guest house. He reached around me and opened the door. When we got inside he set me down on my feet.

"You will stay here until I come back. I know that everyone who lives in that house has not hunted. I don't want one of them to accidentally kill you. I will be back in about three hours. There is cable, a bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom. I won't be gone longer then I have to."

With that he left and I heard the click of a lock on the door. After a second or two I heard a car start and then I heard it speed off.

I thought about it and then realized that when I had changed I had grabbed my phone out of my other pants and had put it in these ones.

Taking it out, I turned it on and then waited to see if I had any service. Please let there be service. Please let there be service. After waiting, what to me was eternity I looked down and saw to my great happiness that there was service.

I quickly dialed Edward's phone and hoped that someone would pick up the phone.

One ring….

Two rings…

Three rings…

"Hello."

AN3: I will leave all of you lovely readers here because I am very evil and need help. I need lots of reviews if you want me to update. If I get a lot of reviews and they are nice then I will try very hard to get two chapters out tomorrow.
