I'm so sorry that it took so long for me to update this. Between end of the years with finals and the start of summer, I totally forgot to update. So i know this isnt the longest of chapters, and I'm leaving for vacation tommrow and wont be back for a week, but i hope this tides you over till I can get back and really start writing. Even though its not really long, I think its still sort of good. So please review!
"I thought you loved me?" Sighed Edward lowering his eyes away from Bella's. He felt his heart break and he was, for once, glad he couldn't cry. But not even centuries of lying could hide the pain that contorted his soft face.
Bella's soft musical laugh reached Edward's attentive ears. The surprising sound wrenched his gaze from the floral bed spread to Bella's smiling face.
"Why are you laughing?" Edward gapped horror-struck, "I thought I ment more to you than this."
"Silly Edward." Bella's tone was soft and light, nothing compared to the depression Edward now wallowed in.
Edward pulled back the slightest bit, she sounded, so motherly. He shook his head, remembering this wasn't the same Bella he had left in the forest and that she had gone through so much since he had left.
Bella ignored his reaction and kept speaking softly, "There is only one thing I want more than being with you, and even then it's hard to refuse your offer."
"Whats more important Bella, tell me." His voice was clam, but his eyes were troubled.
"A lot has changed since that day." Her eyes glinted with an old silent pain.
Edward moved closer and ran his hand across her blushing check, "I know Bella and nothing will ever change or fix what I did to you. I will always hate myself for hurting you like I did, but I'm so selfish to stay away, I want to at least try to make things better."
"As I'm pretty sure you well know," A tiny frown played on Bella's lips, "I have a daughter, who I believe hates me right now, and is possibly deeply and madly in love with you."
At the mention of Colette Edward dropped his hand from Bella's face, "Don't worry I haven't forgotten, and sadly I don't think I will ever be able to forget the pain and loss I brought to her."
"I will let you change me, if and only if Colette gives us her blessing," Colette shook her head, "I won't be willing to change unless she has forgiven me."
Edward's face softened and he reached out and embraced Bella, "That is the most reasonable request ever, we will go talk to her, tonight if you wish."
Bella hugged him closer, his cold skin sent an old tingling sensation down her body, she was using every last will not to demand Edward change her right now.
After what seemed like eternity or maybe just a few second Edward released Bella from his iron grip and picked up her delicate hands.
Bella nodded, "Yes the sooner the better I guess, or should we give her some space and time so she can sort of move on."
They both knew that Bella had never moved on, and if Colette ever managed to get over Edward, she would need more than a few days. Both Edward and Bella couldn't wait to be with each other, neither of them could wait as long as Colette needed, but they were willing to try.
With theses concerns ramming at their brains Edward shook his head, "No, I think its better go straight ahead and tell her. We wouldn't want to hide anything from her, not after we betrayed her trust already."
Bella nodded in total agreement, "Okay then it's a plan." Bella knew she would have agreed to anything Edward had said, but this ment she had a chance of becoming a vampire sooner.
She squeezed Edward's hand tight in her grasp, "You ready to go now."
Edward nodded solemnly, "Yes, are you?"
Bella nodded in agreement and the two stood hand in hand. They were lovers bound together by fate, or perhaps destiny, or maybe in others eyes they were both just selfish fools who the universe had wrongly paired together.

Eli was in human form and it took all of his will to control his anger so he wouldn't morph back. Ian who was at his side quickly changed into his human form as well.
Angry tears of rage swelled in Eli's eyes, his body shook. He felt Ian grab him to try to help his friend clam down, but it was no use.
Eli ripped from his friend's grip just as his spine and body started to ripple. He couldn't help it, he was morphing back into his inhuman form.
The rest of the pack was still running around in wolf form so they all were instantly aware of his presence. They herd the long string of profanity that Eli's mind was shooting off at Mika and how he was cursing the fact he was a werewolf.
Mika's snide voice sounded loud and clear above the others thoughts, instantly the others fell silent as they were commanded to.
"Blane, Joel," Demanded Mika's thoughts, "Go pick up Ian and change back into human form so me and Ryu can talk to Eli."
Eli, Mika, and Ryu waited in silence until the twins thoughts disappeared.
"Now," Mika's voice sounded cruelly, "Apologize Eli."
Eli fought every single one of his wolf instincts, but his mind listened to Mika, "I'm sorry Mika."
"For?" Laughed the Alpha.
"For," spat Eli, "Loving Colette and saying I hated you."
Eli wasn't close to being sincere and if Mika wasn't his pack leader there was no one in hell he would have gotten an apology and Mika heard those thoughts loud and clear.
"Stay there, me and Ryu will be there in a few seconds." Mika demanded as him and his right hand Beta took off to where Eli was forced to wait.
Ryu and Mika burst through the foliage and were right in front of Eli.
Ryu's vicious laugh wrung in Eli's intent ears as the two lead dogs sauntered forward.
Eli's wolf formed trembled uncontrollably with rage. He couldn't help the thoughts that rolled off his mind, his thoughts were vicious and cruel and they gave away the fact that Eli would love to attack Mika and Ryu.
Mika glared at the Eli, "I suggest you stop that right this second Eli, your by far one of the smallest werewolves the La Push tribe has ever seen, you don't want to start trouble now would yo?."
Eli's mind spoke for him; his response was quick, sharp, and dripping with sarcasm, "No, cause I would never want to attack my own brothers and be like Ryu and his ill tempered father Paul."
Ryu, in wolf form, dropped instinctively into a fighting form itching to rip the fur off the younger wolf.
Mika laughed his tone unconcerned and extremely patronizing, "Hmm, now Eli I do believe we are having some great trouble with you today. First with all that nonsense about loving that vampire girl, then telling me you hated me, then insinuating that you would LOVE to attack me, and now insulting one of your higher ranked brothers and one of the pack's elders. What has gotten into you."
Eli's mind retorted wildly with profanity.
Mika snapped his large jaws and demanded Eli to be silent and not to move an inch. Mika then turned to Ryu and demonic grin plastered to his face, "I do believe Ryu here will teach you a lesson. Ryu?"
Ryu lunged forward his large claws extended. Eli went to move away, but he found him self stuck to where he stood. Mika had commanded him not to move, and now Ryu was digging his claws into Eli's widely exposed chest and flank.
Blood welled from the cuts across Eli's body. Ryu's claws struck again this time against the smaller and younger wolf's face. A deep cut burst open as blood filled in Eli's throat. Eli coughed choking on his own blood. If Ryu didn't stop soon Eli might not recover.
"Enough." Mika barked at last, "Hope you learned your lesson Eli, oh and Eli?"
Eli glared blankly at his leader.
Mika continued, "I forbid you to tell anyone what happened, not to anyone in the pack, any of the elders, or anyone else who you think might possibly care. Is that clear? You are to tell no one, if anyone asks you are to lie as convincingly as possible."
Eli nodded to the command, even though he wish he hadn't.
Mika and Ryu then turned and ran off the last thing Eli heard was them two laughing coldly.
Eli was soon left alone in his wolf form, all the others were back as humans. Very slowly Eli hobbled back toward the campus, a line of blood dripping behind him.
He was broken in more ways than one. His heart had been denied and shattered, his body was torn and bloody, and his pride had been savagely stripped from him and mangled in front of his eyes.
