AN: Here is the next chapter. I've made it as long asI could, because I will be on holiday and not able to update for two weeks. I am truly sorry! I'll update as soon as I'm back!
Disclaimer: Nah, not mine!
"Edward rescue me from these two! Help!" I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
"Rosy! Open! Now!" He screamed. Gosh, he was pissed. A second later he knocked the door down, swept me up in his arms and carried me into his room. We sat down on the couch, listening to Evanescence and bathing in each other's presence, lost in our thoughts.
"Bella!" He whispered into my ear after a while. I moaned.
"Yes?" I didn't want to go anywhere right now. I just wanted to stay like this forever, literally.
"We still have school, you know. And we have to be there in …fifteen minutes." He chuckled.
"Darn." I changed clothes quickly, it didn't matter to me anymore that he was in the room now. I slipped into a comfortable pair of jeans and a tight black tank top.
"You look beautiful. I think I'll have to keep a close eye on the males at school today …," Edward teased. Ten minutes later we pulled up in front of the school. I kissed Edward goodbye and went to English.
When I entered the classroom everybody stared at me. I listened to their thoughts to find out what they were thinking.
How did she get so beautiful? I mean she'd always looked good, but this …, Jessica.
Whoa. Look at that bitch. Everyone's staring …, Lauren.
Oh. Bella? Whoa. She looks good. …I have still so much to do…, Angela.
Crap. That's a beauty. I hope she'll see me. Does my hair look ok?…, Eric.
Oh Bella. Are you sure you won't go to the next dance with me? And maybe anywhere else…, Tyler.
Oh my gosh. Bella! She's too beautiful…that Cullen doesn't deserve her! She should really be with me …I'm sure I'd be far better at it than Cullen.…, Mike.
Just then the teacher entered and I sat down beside Jessica. She looked at me wide eyed.
"Wow, Bella. You do look good." She told me. Then we turned our attention back to the teacher. Well, I did. Jessica looked at me. "Bella, this ring is beautiful. Where did you get that?"
"Uh…that's an engagement ring…from Edward…" I whispered, not wanting to attract our teacher's attention.
"Wow! Bella! You're engaged to Edward Cullen!" she squealed, not very quiet. Of course, half of the class heard it. Mike's jaw dropped and I heard several gasps.
When I walked with Edward into the cafeteria every single head turned towards us. As we listened to the thoughts of various people we figured that Jessica must have told the whole school.
I'm sorry.
Don't be. Now everyone knows the extent of our love.
The whole school is talking about us!
Let them. Don't mind. I love you.
I love you, too.
"Uhh…Bella?" I heard Mike's voice behind me. "Could I talk to you? Just one minute? Please." Edward growled softly.
I can take care of myself now. Don't forget that. I'll be right back.
I'll be listening though, you know.
Yes, please do that. I love you.
I went out of the cafeteria with mike and around the building where we sat on a tree trunk in front of the little forest behind the school.
"So?" I asked impatiently to show Mike how annoying he was.
"Bella. You are making a big mistake by getting engaged with Cullen. He's not the right one for you. I would be the right one for you. I relly like you Bella…"
"I'm sorry, Mike. I am not interested at all. Edward is the one and only for me."
"Then I guess I'll have to show you what you're missing…" Witht hat he started to pull at my top. I was suddenly aware of what he intended to do. Within a split second my fist was on his face, leaving him with a bleeding nose on the ground, I walked back into the cafeteria. But when I was about to enter in front of the door stood my whole family (minus Carlisle and Esme) meaning my kind of siblings.
"Nice right one, kid!" Emmett teased.
"Get him away please!" Jasper breathed.
"That filthy little asshole…did you listen to his thoughts? I hope you didn't …" Edward was honestly pissed. He walked over to Mike and lifted him up, his hands on Mike's throat.
"Don't you dare go near my fiancé again or I swear I will rip your filthy face in pieces. Don't dare to touch her again, Newton or I will hunt you until I have driven you completely insane!" He whispered in a very deep and clear voice. Mike whimpered of pain and fear. Edward let him drop and we walked together to Biology.
"Emmett's right. You do have a nice hit." He smirked. "It's so strange to see you defending yourself …" I elbowed him in the ribs.
"Ouch! That hurt. Mind your strength now, Bella!"
"Oh, I am truly sorry, my love," I said and kissed him fiercely on the lips.
"Well, uhh … Bella?" He started. I looked at him expectantly and waited for him to continue. "You know, It might be time for you and me to go hunting …" He was slightly uncomfortable, I could tell.
"Uh … then let's go I guess…" Oh my gosh. This was the part I feared most. Edward took my hand and we ran deep inside the forest until we reached a huge clearing, where he stopped and looked into my face.
"Bella. Don't be afraid. I am here for you, and I will always be." He kissed me and looked deep into my eyes once more.
"How do I hunt, Edward? I've never done this before, you know?" Wosh. I was afraid now.
"Just let your senses take over. Your new instincts will tell you what to do. Smell the air until you've found your prey. Everything else will come by itself." He was trying to sooth me.
I sniffed the air until a scent hit me, unlike anything I had smelled before. It was overhelming. Then I felt something at my insides that forced his way out. I suddenly started running but I didn't remember having given my legs the instruction to move. Then a deer appeared before my eyes. I didn't think. I crouched down and within a second I launced myself at the deer and sunk my teeth deep into it's neck. When I tasted the liquid entering my mouth the taste was so sweet that words alone couldn't describe it. I sucked it dry within a few minutes and I soon felt full. When I stood up I looked directly into the eyes of my angel.
"Did I honestly just do this?" I asked desperately.
"Yes, Bella," his voice was painful, "you're one of us now and you will have to grow accustomed to it. But don't forget: I will always be there to help you." He kissed my lips and licked up the blood that was still resting on them. The feeling of his tonouge circling the shape of my lips was truly worth all of it …
"Let's go home. Alice and Rose are waiting for you."
"Not again! Why now? We have just been shopping …"Couldn't they leave me alone for a few hours?
"Yes you have, but they are starting to plan what they'll wear for our wedding …don't you want to have a say in what everything will look like and where we are going to marry?"
"Oh!" My eyes started glowing. "I'll have to hurry, then. Race ya!" And I sped back towards the hous and burst into Alice's room.
"Oh, hi Bella. I guess you don't want us to wear white, because you are going to have a white dress, so Rose and I decided on light pink for your brisemades . . . who do you want for your brisemaids, Bella?" She had said this faster than I would've been able to recognise, had I still been human.
"Alice, calm down! Well, I would like you to be my maid of honour and Rosalie, Jessica and Angela as my brisemaids. We do need a straight number, so it's you four. Light pink is a good idea…what cut of a dress? I would say medium long, not down to the floor, and maybe strapeless … what do you think, Rose?"
"That's a great idea, Bella! I'm honoured to be your brisemaid. How do you want the flowers? I'd say white tables and red roses as decoration, matching your dress. You need to choose a location, though. And we have to look out for food for your friends and family. And tell us who you want to invite, Bella. Our half would be the six of us and our friends from Denali!"
"Ok. I'd say we invite Charlie, Renee and Phil, of course. Jessica and Angela will have to come,too, if they will be my brisemaids, as well as Mike, Tyler, Eric and I guess Lauren, too. And I'll have to invite Billy and Jacob as well, we can see if they will come. Including me and Edward that'd make twenty-two people. That's not a big wedding. I have no idea where to marry, though. Any ideas you two?"
"Ask Edward. We've also thought of it and came to no conlusion. So …what colour will he wear? Rose says that maybe it should be dark brown, that compliments his hair and eyes –"
"No! Stop Alice! I want him in black! I love him in black, he looks astonishing in it."
"But –"
"If my darling wants me in black I will wear black," came my most beloved voice from the door. He stood beside me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "And for the place…I'd say right in front of our house? What do you think?"
"Edward that's a brilliant idea, thank you! Are you ok with roses as decoration. It would suit you two so well … red roses are sooo romantic! I've already given her dress in order. We'll wear light pink, does that appreciate you?" Rosalie seemed more interested in other people's opinion than Alice was.
"I trust you guys with everything. You've got more experience than the rest of us together. But… have you thought of a date?" I gasped.
"No …when…" I was anxious to hear his response.
"As soon as possible," he smiled his heartbreaking crooked smile. What about … 1st May?"
"Edward! That's Saturday! Today's …Wednesday!" I couldn't believe that he wanted to marry me so soon …I still couldn't believe he wanted to marry me at all.
"Is that to soon, Bella? I just can't wait to have you legally chained to me …," he said smirking and once again dazzling me with his topaz eyes and his lovely and passionate kiss …
"I would have married you tonight if possible," I tried to tease him. As always he was better than me.
"Oh, we could surely arrande that, if you want to …"
"No, thank you. I want some time to get used to the thought of being married to you …and to plan all this …"
Wow. Within three days I will be married to my personal super hot greek god …
Where did this come from, Bella?
Fuck. You weren't supposed to hear that …I am still used to you not knowing what I am thinking …about you …
Super hot greek god? Where did you get this from …?
Um…well…you see…you just look like an ancient greek god sometimes …and…well, you can't deny that you are really hot …
No one would have recognised anything hadn't he started to laugh like mad at that point …
"And the roses long, the under half without leaves – Edward?" Alice looked really confused, she was obviously thinking he was laughing about her, but Rosalie did recognise that I was looking like I hoped I'd vanish into thin air.
"Bella? What's up? Did you think anything funny?" She thought quicker than Alice.
"No, it wasn't funny at all…" I was very embarrassed by now.
"Edward?" She wouldn't take no as an answer.
"It's," I threw a glance at him, "nothing Rose, really. Bella just thought something funny …"
"She thought about Edward!" Darn. I would have to pay Jasper back for that.
"She did? Now, tell us Bella and Edward …" Emmett. By now the whole family was involved in my thoughts…darn.
"She classified me as a super hot greek god! Now satisfied?" Edward murmured, hoping they wouldn't hear. As soon as I heard the booming laugh of every single Cullen echo through the house I stormed out at lightening fast speed. I headed towards the reservation. They wouldn't follow me there. I sat on a rock and looked at the ocean, once I thought I'd run far enough.
Edward Cullen if you hear me thinking, then let me tell you that you can wait forever to marry me unless you apologize properly, wholeheartedly and immediately!
Bella? Bella, where are you? We are searching all over Forks, and not a single one of us can smell you! Where are you?
I doubt that you'll find me where I am! Apologize Edward Anthony Masen Cullen! I don't want to be the wife of someone who just makes a laugh out of me!
Oh, Bella! It was funny, you can't deny that! Come on, tell me where you are!
About this I will remain silent until you have apologized …
Bella, I love you! I never wanted to hurt you! I am sorry if I hurt you, I didn't mean it…
I guess I can believe you…I have already trusted you with more than my life all the time, so I decide to trust you further on…
Please, love, tell me where you are…
First Beach…
That's why no one found you! We shouldn't go there! I don't think that's a good place for you, since you are now one of us, they will make the treaty have worth for you as well…
Well, no. Billy's tribal elder, remember?
He will think different about you when ha finds out that you're one of us now…
No. He won't…
How do you know, Bella?
He already knows…I drove him home from Charlie's after he called. Do you remember? He wanted to talk to me and told me to come into his house for a few minutes…well, he somehow talked me into telling him…
He told Charlie?
How do you know, I mean I didn't tell you…
Half guess, half Billy's thoughts. You made a deal with him…why?
I didn't want them to get into trouble, only because Billy cared for his best friend's daughter…
Come back to the house please and let us forget everything we just talked about. The first part as well as the second. I won't come in ther to get you. I guess you can understand that…
I sped back to the house as fast as I could manage. He was standing on the porch, waiting for me his arms wide open.
