Well, I don't like Liz either.

After I've read back what I wrote, I admit that I done quite a lot of mistake and spelling. Well, sorry, but I got to finish it fast that's the reason I can't double check on it. I'll try to be careful next time.

To pagegirl, Bella doesn't have feelings toward Brandon, but sympathy, which he mistakes all her caring for him as showing him love and you're the other question, read on my story.. :)

Edward led me to his room, it is getting really late.

After I changed to nightgown, I jump to his bed, resting my head on his chest.

"Edward, promise me you'll never leave me no matter what."

He stroked my hair softly, inhaling the scent of my hair. "Even if the world falls apart, never will I let go of your hand, do you know how much I love you, Bella?"

I sat up, trying to be serious now, I look at his golden eyes, it was so beautiful, love, trust, patience, was all he express in his eyes. It shows so much desire and longing to be with him, I never experience a true love, a love so pure that you'll do anything to keep its fire burning… an eternal flame. If he ever leaves me, how could I continue my life without his smile, his dazzling eyes, his scent, his everything! The thought of him leaving me is just like a knife pierced through my body, causing me to die in a horrible way, a slow death; suffering with the pain before your soul leaves the earth.

Tears rolled down my cheeks, one by one. Edward was shocked to see me crying over nothing.

"My dear Bella, why are crying? Did I do anything wrong?" His eyes, pleading me to tell the truth. I couldn't, I just wouldn't hurt his feeling by telling him I doubt our trust in each other, no, it is only me, me alone.

"Nothing Edward, I just felt so blessed that I have you and your loving family, treating me like one of them." I lied.

"They care for you not because of me, but because they love you, like I do." He whispered.

"I know Edward, I know, that is what upsets me a lot, if you ever leave.." Edward closed my mouth with his hand. "Bella, don't you ever think of that, why would I leave you after so much we've been through to get together?"

I gave a smile and nodded at him.

"Go to sleep Bella, its getting late now, we have great plans tomorrow awaiting us.

As he hummed me lullaby, I soon drifted off to sleep.

A girl with a long dark brown stood there as though waiting for someone, something, I couldn't see her face, only her small of her back, she was wearing a long dark dress with blue beads on it, it was rather beautiful. Suddenly, I saw Edward coming towards her, he kissed her passionately, my anger rise up as I watched the scene. She turned away, leaving him, I wanted to run to Edward, not sure if I wanted to slap him or kiss him. Before I could make a move, she turn back, tears rolling down from her eyes, she said …. Goodbye and kissed him, then only did I realized that the girl… the girl with long black dress is actually….me.

I jumped up, tears rolling down my cheeks, as I sat up, I could still remember the dream I just dreamed, it was so real, real enough, more like a dream, like reality.

I gasp for air, trying to calm myself down. I look around, no sign of my Edward, where was he? In this time I really needed him, he wasn't there for me, to soothe me, hug me and tell me everything is fine.

I get out of the bed, walking towards the door, I heard noises from beneath the stairs. I knew they were gathering down there, talking very fast and soft, in their own vampire language I suppose.

I got really curious about their topic, was it about me? I pace slowly and secretly down, standing on the stairs, trying to listen what were they talking. Edward, Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper were there but no sign of Elizabeth. So, this is a family talk I assume. I leaned on the holder, listening what were they whispering about.

"How much time we got now?" Carlisle asked. Alice shook her head, "They will come very quickly, faster than we expected. Alice whispered, "In fact, they were already here, near us, but we just aren't aware of it."

Rosalie sat up straight, looking surprised, "Y-you mean they are here?"

Alice nodded.

"It is only, we were to busy to realize it." Jasper interrupted.

"They should be a way! We can't just sit here and wait for them to get us!" Edward shouted.

"Edward! Don't wake Bella and Elizabeth up!" Esme whispered in a serious tone.

"I know, I just can't be patient." Edward said.

Oh my god! Is this regarding me? Has this anything to do with me? I guess I'm troubling them again.

"This is all because of Bella, if it weren't for her, we can escape as far as possible!" Rosalie snapped.

"Rosalie! Don't be so self-centered!" Esme shot a glance at Ros.

Rosalie rolled her eyes and said whatever.

"I know it's difficult, but please, I can't just leave her and run away." Edward's voice softened, pleading to his family.

"If you love her and care for her, you'll surely leave her, and besides, it is for our good and also hers, she could probably find a better boyfriend, more to her, human type." Rosalie said.

Now, I was angry with Rosalie for the first time, sad too. How could she say this to my angel? It was so harsh.

But, it is way weird, if the vampires are coming to get me, why choose to leave me? No, the vampires are here to get the Cullen's, not me. If the situation is like what I predicted, then… Rosalie is right, they should save themselves.

"I believe if we combine our powers, we could easily defeat them." Emmett suggested.

"No Emmett, their powers is stronger then all of us, even if it is combined, we still won't be able to beat them, unless—unless we could find a very powerful vampire who can help us." Carlisle said.

"What if we lose? Are we going to die for eternal?" Jasper interrupted.

"I'm afraid yes." Carlisle answered.

Edward looked down, hurt in his eyes, I know he don't wish to leave me.

"They got to be a way, if there is no way, I will find the way!" Edward assured them.

"The way is just in front of you, waiting, now we can do nothing but run for our life." Rosalie advised.

"Look, no matter what, we will stay together and overcome it, don't get separated, so we won't be killed." Esme said.

The word 'killed' made me shivered, how could I bare to see Edward and his family being killed, and me, only be able to watch and do nothing. I continued listening,

"Okay, this is the last decision, for now, we will fight the vampires, but if the situation forces us to leave, then we'll leave Forks… forever." Carlisle said in full authority.

"No, please, no…my life without Bella is nothing, no difference with dead vampires, if it is like that, I'd rather be killed by the vampire!" Edward cried.

Suddenly, Carlisle slapped Edward. "Don't you ever say this to us." His voice was so deep, so frightening.

"Stop it!" Alice shouted, her voice shaking with fear and anger.

I have never seen Alice so angry and sad like this, it hurts me to see my beloved ones hurt because of me, it is all my fault, I've started it and I'll end it. Suddenly, I felt wave of calmness engulfed me, I knew it is Jasper's work, it really did work a little.

"Thank you Jasper." Alice whispered.

"Always." Jasper said, holding Alice on her shoulder.

They look so troubled and pale, paler than usual. I couldn't help but let my tears flow freely down my cheeks, I couldn't stand it any longer, the Cullen's will notice me.

So, I ran upstairs, careful not to trip or make any sound, I jump to the bed and covered my whole body with the comforter as I begin to sob.

Then, images of my previous dream playing in my mind. Was that what it meant from the dream? About me leaving Edward. The thought of leaving him made my heart ache, how am I able to live without his presence around me? Without his cold arms wrapped around me.

Wait, may be that was what the dream intended, me leaving the Cullen's for their safety? I must think wisely and seriously, it is indeed a very tough decision, but if Edward aren't going to decide, I'll decide.

I heard the door opened, quickly, I wiped the tears off my face, pretending as though I was asleep. He kissed my forehead, his scent! Oh my god, I'm gonna miss it a lot.

"Sleep well, my love." He whispered in my ear, his voice, full of hurt and confusion. I guess it's very hard for him to decide. It's all going to be fine Edward, you do not need to worry about me, I'll decide it for you eventhough it's a hard one, I'll do anything to keep you safe, it is my turn now to stand up and protect you.

"You'll never figure out how much I love you Bella, deeper than the sea, higher than heavens." As he finished his sentence, he gave me a kiss on my lips and went out of the room.

And you'll never know how much I longed to be with you Edward. I dripped my final tear and sleep, not wanting to let Edward see my tear-stained face.

"Wake up, Bella, it's morning, we have a lot of things to cover today, look at those beautiful sky." He pulled the bed sheet across.

"Your looks are double the beauty of the sky." I grinned.

Edward tickled me out of bed. "Okay, okay Mr. Cullen." I groaned.

After a long soaked bath, I wrapped myself in towel and put on my blue blouse and black skirt which Alice bought for me the last time I overnight at their house. She is such a spoiler.

"Come on Bella, I'm taking you to breakfast." Edward called.

He opened the car door for me, most likely all gentlemen will do, or did his Esme taught him to do so, I let out a small giggle.

"So, which restaurant are we going?" I began.

"Just sit back and relax." He changed the topic.

Edward gave a swift park and within a second, he was by my side, opening the car door for me. Wow, what had gotten to this guy's head, today he's treating me like a princess, I mean, a careless princess, yeah.

I took a glance at the restaurant, my mouth dropped open.

"Careful of insects going in your mouth if you open too big Bella." Edward teased, grinning at me.

"Are you kidding me Edward? This restaurant has the most expensive dishes and we're here dining? And worst of all, it's only breakfast dear." I muttered.

"Bella, I want to give you the best, just go in with me will you?" He pleaded, his eyes, dazzling me again.

"Fine, but next time, I'm not going in there, just go for a simple McDonalds will do."

"Thanks Bella." He said while escorting me in the restaurant.

The moment we walk in, I felt all eyes glued on us…correction, Edward actually.

He didn't even give a glance at those girls looking at him, instead, he kissed my cheek, which caused me to blush softly.

We took a sit by the window. The waitress came, holding a menu and pass it to Edward… only.

"May I take your order?" She asked with a sweet voice and post seductively in front of Edward. She is, well, beautiful but Edward didn't paid any attention to her, he was all along looking at me.

"Bella, what do you want to eat today?" He asked, while glancing at the menu.

"I'll take Set A and a glass of coke." I said as I shoved the menu away.

"Right, and you Mr.?" She asked Edward.

Edward glanced at me, "I'll take coke will do."

"Please wait for a few minutes, thank you." She said while handing us each a napkin.

Edward unfolded the napkin and found a piece of paper.

"What's in that paper?" I asked, curious.

Edward look at the paper, "Just some stupid things, her phone number." He looked annoyed.

"Well, I guess she expects you to give her a call?"

"I'm afraid I won't, I'm taken by a beautiful girl in front of me." He said while holding my hands, grinning.

I rolled my eyes and look out of the window. I caught a glimpse of Brandon, he is walking towards a shop and came out with a liquid in a bottle. I wonder why he bought that. Edward followed my gaze and saw Brandon, his eyes darken.

"Bella, what are you thinking?" He asked

"Nothing important." I answered, broking my gaze.

"Tell me, I'm interested in knowing it." He insisted.

"Okay, I was thinking what Brandon was doing there in the shop, just that simple." I answered.

Edward eyed me suspiciously. "Well, do you want to know the answer?"

"Sure, anything."

Edward gaze out the window, "He is thinking of inviting you back 'again' to his house for a talk." He said, looking down.

Ooops, he knew it—he knew I went to his house that night, does Edward know he is the one who saved me in the park?

I bit my lips, "So, you know huh?"

He look up at me, his beautiful eyes now filtered with anger, "I knew everything that happened that night, he saved you at the streets, but I am just curious why in the first place you lied to me?

Could he have heard about the conversation? Of course he had, I told myself. After all, this was Edward… the one who knew everything.

"I-I am just worried what you may might think, it's just that." I assured him.

The waitress came with my food and drinks.

I took a sip of my coke and began throwing sausages to my stomach.

"Well, I'm going hunting tomorrow, so try not to hurt yourself so much." He sighed.

I gave a nod and continue on my breakfast.

"One more thing, I don't wish you going to Brandon's house when I'm out hunting eventhough something bad occurred, promise me Bella." He held my hands

"I will not go to his house Edward, relax." I assured him.

"But if something bad occurred, you can go find Alice though, she's not coming along, just fed a few days ago." He explained.

He paid the bills and we walked out of the restaurant. Suddenly, I felt a wave of dizziness showered me, the bright surroundings turned to dull, I can't hear clearly but what I heard was my angel's voice, "Bella, what's wrong with you? You look pale… don't play this joke, please… Bella, you're frightening me." Then, I collapsed into his strong hold. Everything black out, including his melodic voice.

This time I wasn't playing Edward. I felt thorns ripped into my skin as I begin to cry in pain, in horror. Then only did I realize that someone, something was poking me, I felt, just like a voodoo doll, it was drowning me. I never believe that last time, but now, I couldn't deny it for even vampires exists. Then, someone touched me, it wasn't Edward, the touch was different but rather familiar, my eyes were to heavy to open as I lay there in pain. "Take her quickly back, let me drive her there!" A voice commanded, a female one.

Into the darkness I fell, that revealed the curse in it, to my the other half,

Too late for me to turn back, wish I didn't walk this path.
