It didn't take me long to unpack all of my stuff; which wasn't much to begin with. Zaden and I had always traveled light since we never stayed in one place for long. All I owned were necessities. I never bought anything other then because I just didn't like shopping. My version of shopping was seeing how quick I could get in and out. I left my room stood out side Zaden's door for a minute. Then threw open the door.
"Hey Zaden?"
"Mmm?" Zaden mumbled as he tossed his clothes into his drawers messily. When he walked back over to his suitcase I walked over to the drawer and started folding his clothes. When he turned around, I was folding a pair of blue silk boxers with black hearts.
"Bella don't. I'll do it later." He said quickly, his voice was soaked with embarrassment. I laughed and he reached for the boxers. I pulled them out of his reach.
"Bella, come on. Give them back." He said reaching again but I quickly pulled away. Zaden had hold of my arm. I stuck my tongue out at him playfully and he placed a mischievous smirk on his face.
Suddenly my body froze my muscles stiff Zaden stepped towards me and pulled the boxers from my inflexible grip.
"Bella, Bella, Bella. You should know better than not to fool with me by now."
Zaden wrapped his arms around my waist and stopped his power. I felt all the tension in my limbs release as my knees buckled.
"You are a cheater…" I said slowly, my body worn and tired.
"I know. But I got my boxers back didn't I?" he sat me on the bed and then put the boxers in his drawer.
He turned back towards me and the sly smirk that was played on his features were wiped free when he saw what played on mine.
"What?" he asked nervously.
"I hate you."
I saw the shock as his eye widened.
"Bella I'm sorry! Don't hate me I was just playing. I wont use my gift on you anymore!"
"That's not the problem!" I pouted crossing my arms over my chest. "The fact that you have a power is enough."
Zaden chuckled under his breath and I glared at him. He slowly approached me and sat down beside me.
"Bells. Come on, you could still get a gift."
"But it's been a year!" I flopped my self down on the bed and buried my face in the pillow, kicking my legs about.
"God you were never this temperamental when you were human." He mumbled under his breath but it was enough to make me punch him in the arm. Again, more pain to me then him. But he played along rubbing the spot I hit him.
"How was I then huh?"
"For one you were quiet." I let my mouth hang open in shock as I got up and ran to my room, locking the door behind me.
"Awe Bell's don't be angry!" he said banging on the door. I jumped into bed and through the blankets over my head. After a while there was silence, but I knew better than to think that Zaden had given up.
Minutes later I heard a click and then she slight creak of the door. The weight on the bed shifted beside me and the covers were drawn back. Zaden slid into bed with me, lying on his side. My back was too him.
"You were very calm and optimistic. No matter what happened, no matter how tragic, you always got through it even when you were heavily broken." His voice hesitated at the last part. I flipped my self over on my stomach with my head facing him. His eyes were pained, and distant like he was thinking about something.
"I was heavily broken?" I asked in an attempt to snap him away from his thinking. Zaden just nodded slightly and lay onto his back with his hands behind his head. Even though this was something new about my past I decided to drop it because of how hurt he looked. I shifted, so I was lying on my bed sideways; my head was on his stomach.
Zaden ran a hand through my hair moving it away from my face, and before I knew it I was drifting off into darkness.

The plane was long. I had never wished that I could sleep as much as I did on that trip. We landed and quickly rented three cars. There weren't enough seats on the plane for all of us, so Raina, Alice, Jasper, Skyler, and I went and the others decided that they would stay at home until we found Bella or needed help.
The lady at the car rental tried to give us three sunfire's, but I 'dazzled' her impatiently. I needed a fast car to get find Bella quicker. I didn't even bother to pay attention to the woman's thoughts; I was just to absorb in my own.
We ended up with a Porsche, and two Ford Focus' I took the Porsche, Skyler didn't look too pleased with that.
We quickly booked into a motel. The sun was coming up soon. That day passed very slowly. Alice was trying to get a vision of where, or what Bella was doing.
I paced about the room; frequently having jasper spread calm about me.
"How can you be so calm about this? Bella, I mean were so close!"
I mumbled. Tapping my foot impatiently.
"Exactly were close! And you have waited a year I'm pretty sure that you can wait a day or to." Raina was annoyed, I could tell through her voice. I took a defeated breath and walked into one of the bedrooms I stared out the window at all the people walking through the streets below.
At nights we would patrol the streets, I would read the minds of passerby's to see if they saw my Bella, Alice would continue to try to see visions. It had been nearly a week since we had arrived in London and no luck.
"Alice were never going to find her at night."
Alice nodded lost in thought.
"I guess we should drive around during the day time and see if we see her walking along the streets."
My emotions brightened, and my tarnished hope was restored. Hopefully we would find her soon. I was starting to think that we were never going to find her. Hopefully the sun would shed light on hopefully newfound optimism. We WERE going to find her. No matter how long we had to look for her.

It had been just over a week since we moved here and I really was starting to like it. But the coven, well I cut my self off from all other vampires there. Not like it was hard. Walking through the halls and corridor, I got many glares and weird looks. Zaden told me that when I asked him to change me, he had used his power to keep as much of the human me as was possible. I have to say that I had always been fine with it until coming here. I felt like such a, reject; and so , defective.
I was walking down the streets of London towards the nearest grocery store. I hadn't had human food in a while and my body was craving for it.
There was a grocery store about two blocks away. I walked through the isles pondering what I was craving for. It's never good to shop when you're hungry. I came out with a bag of perogies, a TV dinner, a couple boxes of KD, a pint of strawberry ice cream, a bag of salt and vinegar chips, garlic butter, and a Portobello mushroom.
The heavyset thing to carry was the ice cream. When I left the store, I was wobbling slowly to carry my bags and not fall flat on my face. I decided to take it as slow as possible and just enjoy the walk.
Finally I arrived at the coven and made my way up and ended up tripping at the last step.
I stood in front of my door and tried to find my keys when I felt something strange. A sharp pain made it's way into my brain I crouched down by the door. My head between my knees as tears squeezed out of my eyes the pain was getting stronger and stronger.
"Bella?" I felt a cold hand on my shoulder, but the pain was too much for me to acknowledge that I heard anything.
"Bella!" the voice screamed as I tried to find my voice. Suddenly I was up in the air; Arms carrying me to my bed on the other side of the door. Seconds after I hit the pillow I felt a cold compress on my forehead.
"Oh God Bella your burning up."
"It hurts Zaden…" I opened my eyes to look at him but that only hurt more.

Bella curled up putting her head in her arms. I didn't know what to do I start to panic. Suddenly her whimpers stopped and she sat up looking at me strangely.
"How did I get here?" she looked around the room strangely.
"Bella?" I reached out for her face to turn her gaze to me. When I did her eyes widened with shock and horror.
"DID YOU PUT THE ICE CREAM IN THE FREEZER?" Bella jumped up and ran out side. I sat there confused for a few moments and then got up to follow her. She had retrieved her groceries from the hall and was emptying the bag.
"Bella are you alright?" I asked raising an eyebrow and walking towards her.
"Yea I'm fine what wouldn't I be?" she cocked her head to the side curiously
"You don't remember what just happened?"
"I remember looking for my keys, and then next thing I knew I was in my bed. Why in the world would I leave my stuff in the hall."
"Your head doesn't hurt?"
"Uh no. Zaden are you all right? You're acting strange."
I stared at her for a while until she shifted uncomfortably.
"Yea I'm fine."

We were getting ready to leave to drive around when a vision hit me.
Bella was eyeing the continents of the groceries. It was clear to see that her eyes were bigger then her stomach. I saw her leave and walk down the street slowly, stumbling occasionally.
I felt the vision starting to fade but I pushed it on further, until I could see the sign of the store that she was just in.
As soon as I snapped back into reality, I saw Edward fly out of the door. I took off after him Raina right behind me and we jumped into the Porsche. Edward sped to the store quickly running several stop signs and red lights. We parked across the street and waited. About fifteen minutes later, Bella walked out of the grocery store struggling with her bags, and her own feet. She stumbled occasionally.
Edward reached for the door handle, his eyes fixated on her. She was still just as beautiful but she had a glow to her that made her all the more. Her hair looked smoother too. But other then that she was the same Bella as always.
I reached for Edward's hand and pulled it away from the handle. He growled and snapped at me
"Edward, it's day light. Let's follow her, see where she goes and then come back at night.
We waited till she rounded the corner and then drove after her. She was already entering a large building. I looked up at it and Edward looked at me with surprise. We parked and sat there for a moment until Raina Broke the silence.
"She's not coming out guys."
"What?" Edward and I asked
"I know what this place is. It's the Tudorra safe house; for vampires."
