A/N: Hey! Here's the next chapter…

Disclaimer: Sigh. You swear that if I owned Twilight I would be here instead of writing the epilogue…. Which obviously means I don't……

EPOV

"Hmm…how shall I do this so that you finally understand?" I asked rhetorically. "Ah yes." I realized that I would have to do what was a universal myth in the humans' repertoire of myths. I very slowly dragged my nose across her neck. It felt like my throat would burn up with flames any second. The beast in me wanted to dig into her soft, warm throat and suckle every single drop of blood in her. But I couldn't. I shouldn't. I knew that I was too deep in the hole to come up so easily. If I were to ever go down that horrible, unimaginable road I would find away to join her in the afterlife, if I belonged there anyway. And if I had to burn while watching her from below whilst angels danced around her, than I would endure it.

I realized the night before that I loved this human more than I loved anything and anyone. More than my family. More than Alice, more than Emmett, more than Esme, Jasper and Rosalie, and even more than Carlisle.

She was my sun and I her moon. I would follow her like a loyal dog to his master. I didn't care if it made me less of a man, as long as I did everything in my power to give what her pounding heart desired.

That is why I knew that I would eventually have to tell her what I am. I wanted all of the barriers destroyed, annihilated between us. I needed her to know what I am.

At first she didn't understand what I was trying to say. Then it slowly sunk in when I hinted at it.

We were quiet for a minute, but it felt like an eternity even to me an immortal.

"Bella?" I needed to know what she was thinking. What she thought of me. Even if it meant her running away screaming at the top of her lungs. Even if it meant her going back to Arizona. I thought of this… would I let her? Would I let myself just watch her leave? Would I follow? I quickly thought that it wouldn't be hard to assimilate myself in Phoenix. I would buy a small apartment, get falsified papers to say that I was nineteen, that way I would be in college when she'd enter it. Maybe in two years she would forget about Edward Cullen and meet Anthony Masen. That time I would act the part of human. Yes, say that the random days I would not be in school were because I didn't have class or something along the lines. I would keep in touch with Alice of course, not just because of her expertise but because I love her dearly and it would be easier than keeping in touch with Emmett or Esme.

There was another problem. Esme. She wouldn't let me go without making a scene. I would worry about it when the time came. If the time came.

I was pulled back from my scheming when Bella very calmly answered my question. A second had passed since my bold move.

"I always knew you were special."

I pulled back and stared at her.

What?

I looked at her roan eyes, absolutely gob-smacked. "What did you say?" It was my turn to be confused.

She took a deep breath, which didn't really help me, with quiet confidence she lifted her chin a little and looked at me straight in the face. "I don't care what you are, as long as you stay the way I met you, Edward Cullen." She thought about this for a second and continued, "Scratch that." If my heart had been beating it would have stopped right there and dropped like the stone it is now. "I don't want you to hate me. I don't care what you are as long as you let me be near you like kidnapping me for instance."

I continued starting, it didn't matter that she changed her mind on her wording, it still meant that she accepted me for who I was. The scenario of Anthony Masen was wiped clean from my mind.

And then the lines from "Fleurs Du Mal" came into my head: Dark demons of my soul, un amour fatal, been tryin' hard to fight… un amour fatal.

"Bella, I want your blood." I warned.

Her eyes popped but then she regained her confidence. "If you really wanted it, you would have killed already."

"I almost did." I confessed, looking down and feeling like the world should just sallow me up. I dropped my gaze, I couldn't look at her.

"When?"

"The first day I met you." I looked up slowly, unsure of her reaction. Anthony Masen returned.

"Oh." She said, clearly remembering that day. "I see."

This enraged me. "That's it? 'I see'?" I wanted to scream. I just confessed that I am a bloodthirsty vampire, that I almost killed her, and that's all she has to say, 'I see'? What is wrong with this girl? You mean what is right? A little voice told me in the back of my head. No, the word is 'wrong'. No 'right' . It countered.

"Edward I don't care. Now take me to the fair." She demanded.

Whoa. Wasn't expecting that. It is Bella! Get used to it!

"Bella-"

"Edward Cullen if you don't take me to the fair I will walk to the fair." She warned me.

I just stared at her.

"You promised." She said, this time rather docilely.

"Bella-"

"The fair." Her voice regaining her poise.

I knew I wasn't going to get anywhere with her right then. I went back to the steering wheel, and turned on the car again. While I did this, I looked at her rather worriedly.

She just stared back, the self-assurance all over her face. I drove, her eyes never leaving my grim profile.

Maybe she was finally realizing who she was sitting next to. I would endure it. I would force myself to endure the horrible, body-numbing pain.

I reached the grounds and looked for a parking space, I knew that the second I would hit park and open the door for her she would run away. I took my time. I tried preparing myself for her breakdown. Her eyes never left my face. Not for a second. She was in shock, I just knew it.

I finally told myself that I was ready, but I knew better. If I was meant to feel this pain than I would succumb to it.

I parked the car rather far from the grounds themselves. Since it was a school day and in the middle of the morning there weren't a lot of people there. Good. I slowly got out of the car and opened the door. She unbuckled the seatbelt and slowly got out.

I swallowed hard, breathing in her fresh sent before she left me. She looked at me and then suddenly she lightly cocked her head and grinned. I stood there with the door open, staring blankly at her.

She extended her hand to me. I looked at it like it was the oddest thing I'd ever seen.

I extended my hand gingerly towards it. She waited patiently. I was almost to her hand when I felt the heat coming from it. I retracted my hand, I looked up at her a little and still saw her smile, her warm eyes inviting me in. I slowly went back and warily interlaced my subzero hand with her warm one.

She didn't flinch at the temperature, she, instead, firmly wrapped her small, slender and delicate fingers around mine.

I knew she was watching me looking at our hands but I didn't know what to say. I didn't have to be the first to speak.

"Let's go in. I want a big fat teddy bear." She said, tugging our hands towards the fair grounds.

I dumbly let her lead us through the parking lot. She continued on her list of wants, "I want cotton candy too! Charlie took me to the fair once when I was five but he wouldn't buy me any because he said that if Renee ever found out she would kill him. He didn't trust me then because he knew that if Renee asked me what we'd done over the summer I would have told on him without wanting to." She laughed at this.

I recomposed myself letting all of these new and powerful emotions surround me while she went on about her childhood trip to the fair. The very same one I decided to take her to.

"What do you want to do first Edward?" She asked me, I knew that she was trying to get me back from where I was mentally but I could never go back to that state of mind I was in not thirty minutes ago.

"I don't know. It's your day, what do you want to do?" I asked her, trying to regain my voice.

"Let's go on the rides." She said looking around.

I felt myself come back fully. My new self I should say. "Alright then, let's go."

She heard the ring in my voice and smiled sweetly, and went on as if nothing had happened in those two seconds.

"The merry-go-round." She prompted. She more firmly held my hand and led me to the carrousel not to far from us. I followed happily.

N/A: I know it was cheesy but I love cheesy!!!!
