Author's Note: Wow! Thanks everyone, I never thought my story would be all that popular, especially since it hasn't even gotten good yet! I'm already over 20 reviews (if that's not good, please don't burst my bubble) I promise the first conflict will start in this chapter ;o

Disclaimer: I didn't write the book and I have no rights to the characters, only the thoughts I use to make them in this story. Well, a few characters are mine, but you get to find out about them later on.

MOST of this chapter is in Edward's POV since this chapter is less about his family and more about Edward and Bella. The end will be in her POV.

"When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven"

My Guardian Angel – The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Overview of end of last chapter (Rose's POV):

Edward had obviously seen her vision through her thoughts and he would not budge, he just stood his ground and let the growls rip from his chest. People were staring now, and I was getting frantic. Bella came to the rescue as she put her hand on his arm to sooth him. He calmed down and slid his arm around Bella's waist dragging her to the car.

We were going even faster than we had to get to the supermarket. Edward was going 120 before we left the parking lot and pushed his car to 150 before we were home.

When we were inside Edward looked at Bella with sad eyes, "Bella I--" he started.

Edward's POV

Damn! What's with the odds always stacked against us? Is god trying to make us stronger or tell us that our love will never be? Will I be able to do everything in my power to stop this?

Out of my three questions I only had the answer to one of them: Yes, I would be able to protect her to the best of my ability, and I knew my family would stand by me. As I realized this I realized that I would have to tell my sweet angel about what was in store for her.

"Bella I--" I started, as I took a very long, unnecessary breath, and spotted Carlisle and Esme slip quietly into the room.

"Bella," I started again, I had to keep my voice confident, I could not let her see my worry or anguish. " Alice had a vision…"

"Well I know that, I want to know what it was, and I know it was about me." She said, she too was trying to sound confident for my family's, and my, sakes and I knew I was the only one who caught the falsehood in her tone.

"She… she saw Victoria first, coming to our… to our wedding," her eyes bulged and I knew I would have to look away to continue, "She grabbed you as you were walking down the isle and we could not reach her in time. Then Alice's vision changed and she saw the Volturi arrive in time to save you from Victoria, but not before she had bitten you. Se saw the Volturi keep you in their cage of a city," I growled at this as I took a quick breath and said the last line very fast, but fast enough for Bella to hear, " Alice did not see you coming back."

The room was in utter silence after I had finished my speech; all of the expressions help anger, horror, resentment, shock, and other emotions that I would rather not delve into any farther.

I will tear them all to pieces if they even touch my little sister (Emmett, who else?)

Ask her already, she already knows there'll be a wedding, so stun her with the ring dumbo. Said both Alice and Rosalie together, I was shocked, they must care a lot if they can speak the same thing in their minds at the exact same time.

"Bella," I said turning to her, seeing a small tear run down her cheek, "Bella, I will never let them hurt you, and I know that I could never live without you, and I cannot wait any longer because you are my angel from heaven, the sun peaking over the horizon of the darkest night, you are my soul mate and I could never love anyone more than you, Isabella Marie Swan, would you do me the honor of marrying me?"

Her eyes brimmed with tears as she looked at me, then she flung herself at me, "Yes Edward! Yes!" she said, then she broke down in sobs and I cradled her to my chest until they subsided.

I gently slipped the ring onto her finger and she just sat there and admired it until Alice came gliding over to her and pulled her into a bone-breaking hug " Alice – can't – breathe!" Bella managed to gasp. Alice chuckled and put her gently back down on the floor and they admired my choice together for a while.

Suddenly it seemed that something had dawned on Bella. "But Edward, we can't get married," Those words seemed to tear my dead heart into thousands of pieces, seeing the grief on my face she continued, "Edward, I cannot put your family in that kind of danger, if it is to protect the family I love most, I can give up my dream."

I started at her, then I realized what she was saying and I cradled her into my chest, "Bella, do not think of that for one second, I would never let you give up your dream, I'll have to give up mine – well it's not a 'dream' per say, but you get my drift – we will have to change you, before our marriage and then Alice's vision cannot come true."

Her shock was evident – in fact it was written all over her face, but she was not scared – this confused me, but Bella was truly an astounding creature (no matter what kind of creature). Carlisle came over to me and put one of his large, comforting hands on my shoulder and said, lightly "Lets go ahead and do this, so there is no time for second-guessing."

Slowly I trudged up to my - no our – room, I steadied Bella in my strong arms as she walked up the stairs; she was not going to fall… ever again. This thought made my dead heart ache, but the thought of living forever with her made it flutter; what a confused wreck my heart tends to be.

We laid Bella gently on the king-sized bed that we had purchased for her and I leaned down to kiss her with limits for the very last time.

"I love you." I whispered gently to her as I carefully moved my lips down to her neck. I felt her pulse quicken and knew this would be the last time, I broke the skin fast, not wanting Bella to be in any more pain then necessary, and soon I had bitten both of her wrists too, three main arteries rather than one meant less pain for my angel…

Bella's POV

"I love you."

Those were the last words I heard before I felt the venom enter my veins. I closed my eyes tight, waiting for the fire, but the fire did not come. I cracked my eyes open slightly to see Edward staring at me, Carlisle looking over his shoulder with Esme, Emmett (still in his drag club outfit), Alice and Rose right behind him, Jasper was still in the corner of the room, and I realized that I was still bleeding slightly. I suddenly felt bad, but I had to ask Edward something.

"Edward?" I croaked and they all stared at me in surprise.

"What is it, love?" He asked; worry lining every part of his face.

"Edward, you told me this would be painful." I said as I looked up at him, a small grin playing across my lips.

"Bella, are you saying you feel no fire?" Edward and Carlisle asked at the same time.

"No, I don't feel any fire, I do not feel any pain, the only thing is feel is a slight prickling as if my neck and arms have fallen asleep, and it's almost completely through my body already." I said as calmly as possible.

All of the Cullens had the same shocked expression and I thought I knew exactly what they were thinking; 'what the hell?'

Suddenly I felt the pain, but it was not the pain that I was expecting. The prickling was all throughout my body now, and suddenly it intensified and suddenly it was just gone. Then I felt it, running through my veins.

I screamed for the first time in my transformation, and I could not open my eyes, this frightened me. "Edward!" I managed to screech, the whole family was by my side immediately.

"What is it Bella dear?"

"Edward! The ice, stop the ice!"

They all stopped and looked at me in horror. We all knew something was extremely wrong.

A/N: ohhh; another cliffy. Sorry guys, a new one will be up tomorrow and it should explain, sorry this one was so short, but there would be no dramatic effect if I finished the rest of it now. Please forgive me.

To all of my reviewers: Thank you SO much, I'm sorry to say that the laziness has consumed me and I would rather not go into individual thank you's, but I really do appreciate it so much!

(Edward wants you to review so he can figure out what's wrong with Bella; I'm not updating until I get to 30 comments; I must be getting greedy, I'm actually holding my cliffhanger over your heads gasps that is SO unlike me… whatever.)
