Yo yo, it's chapter fo(4). Jk jk. Thanks to everyone that reviewed! I just want to let you guys know that this is a low conflict story, little to no bad stuff, it's going to be a happy story.

I know there are errors concerning historical stuff such as the appearance of some things but who cares, really, this isn't a history assignment. And if Greece didn't exist in 2, 942 B.C, oh well.

I couldn't figure out if Edwards' running was enjoyable or if it was the single most terrifying experience of my life, all I knew was that I had never done anything like it.

The walls flew past us in a blur and soon Edward slowed down in the courtyard with Phil the guard only 10 feet from us, but he never noticed us. A dog barked in the distance as we went through the gates to our freedom.

Once we were away from the palace Edward sped up again so the scenery around us was nothing but a blur to my eyes so I closed them before I got sick.

Edward continued running for 5 minutes then abruptly stopped and I slowly cracked my eyes open.

I gasped as I saw the waves crashing against the shore, the sand sinking beneath Edward's feet, and the salty sea air invading my nostrils. I took a deep breath through my nose, relishing the scent, the scent of freedom.

I squirmed a bit and Edward let me down and I bent down to touch the smooth white sand. I thought it was going to be smooth and soft but as I scooped up a handful I felt the scratchy coarseness of the sand. It sank through my fingers and soon there wasn't a traced left in my palm.

I straightened up and turned to Edward who offered me his hand and I took it with a smile. We walked silently along the beach, listening to the ocean and just walking to be with each other.

"Edward," I said as I stopped, "I think I'm in love with you. I know we haven't known each other very long, we've actually only spent 2 days together before now but I feel more connected with you than I ever did with my family. When you left me those two times after we spent the night with each other I was so sad and I wanted to crawl up and just wait for you. I haven't the foggiest idea why you came to me and then left without a trace-" but I was cut off by his lips.

They crashed onto mine and he wrapped his arms tightly around my entire torso and lifting me off the ground. I wrapped my legs tightly around his waist as I had before when he ran. His lips parted mine so he could blow more air into my lungs before I passed out.

Something cold and hard was running along my lower lip and I realized, with a gasp, it was his tongue. I granted him entrance and he ran his tongue across the inside of my lower lip then pulled away and set me down.

"I, apologize, that was out of line." he murmured but I shook my head wildly at him and hugged myself to him.

"Don't be Edward." I told him snaking my arms up his back then hooking my hands on his shoulders. Edward wrapped his left arm around my shoulders and ran his other hand through my hair.

"Bella," he began, "you know I have loved you since I set my eyes on you. I love you Bella." I lifted my head, chin resting on his chest, to look up at his seraphic face smiling down at me.

We continued to walk on the sand, my arm around his waist his arm around my shoulders, sneaking glances at each other the whole time.

After about 20 minutes of walking we came to a tiny picturesque cottage nestled between to large rocks. I was ready to walk past the cottage but Edward pulled us toward it taking a ring of keys from a pocket in his jacket.

He unlocked the front door and brought me inside and then lit a long candle he produced from another pocket in his jacket. What else did he have in there?

The lit candle threw light into the room revealing the décor of what looked to be a den of some sort. There were oak chairs with dark brown cushions and a stone fireplace on the back wall with a raised hearth for someone to sit on.

The little house was very cold and I soon began to shiver slightly, and of course Edward noticed. He pulled me to the fireplace and quickly had ablaze instantly making me warmer.

He threw a thin blanket over my shoulders then placed me on his lap as we sat by the fire and grabbed my hand in his rubbing the back of it with his thumb. I never noticed how small my hand was, especially when it was enveloped by Edwards'. His fingers were almost twice the size of mine and his palm was almost as big as my whole hand!

And my shoulders were so narrow, his were twice as broad as mine. I felt small, like I was a child again compared to him. My thighs were probably as big as his forearms and my forearms the size of his wrists.

I always knew I was petite but this was ridiculous. My "sisters" had always teased me about being so skinny, in good humor I hope, now I know they were right.

"Edward, do you think I am too skinny?" I asked him and he chuckled, making me bounce on his lap.

"No Bella, you are a perfectly good weight." he assured me. I nodded absently, still not completely convinced. I suddenly had another thought.

"Edward could you change me into a vampire, and if you can will you?" I asked hopefully, "you don't age so eventually I will get older than you and that wouldn't be good. I'm sure you can make others like you and I was thinking that maybe you got bit by a-a bat or something so maybe you could bite me and then you and I can be together, forever." I finished breathlessly.

He seemed to consider what I said for a moment before giving me his answer. "I guess we could try, but if something bad were to happen, I don't know what I would do. I can't lose you." he told me running his thumb across my cheek making me smile and blush.

His gaze was just so intense and lustful I could hardly believe he loved me. I threw my arms around his neck then whispered into his ear, "Nothing will go wrong Edward, I just know it. I want to spend eternity with you only you." I confessed to him.

After I released him I let out a huge yawn and my eyes drooped heavily with exhaustion from staying up well into the night.

Edward stood up with me in his arms and carried me to a small bedroom the laying me on a soft bed and tucking the blankets around me.

"Sleep." Edward whispered into my ears and I sank into a dreamless slumber.
