'What are we going to do?' I asked Edward. He looked down at me and moved a strand of hair out of my face.

'I'm not sure Bella, but I promise I'll think of something' I smiled at him and he kissed the tip of my nose.

'I think we should all take a trip somewhere' Alice said. We had forgotten everyone was still there so her input was kind of a surprise.

'Where would we go?' Jasper asked. He also looked a little surprise by Alice's input.

'I say we go visit the clan up in Denali' I looked at Edward but he was smiling and looking at Alice.

'That's a great idea' he added. I felt so out of the loop right now.

'Who's the Denali clan?' I asked. Edward looked at me like he had forgotten I was there. I rolled my eyes and hit him in the shoulder.

'They're a clan of vampires who live up in Denali, Alaska. They feed off of animals also so you should be fine up there' Edward answered. He playfully rubbed the spot where I had hit him and I stuck my tongue out at him.

'Everyone should get packed. We'll leave today' Carlisle said. Everyone stood and ran off to their rooms. Edward stayed back with me and walked me up to my room. I kissed his cheek before I went in.

I didn't really have to pack. I just put all my clothes back in my bag. I didn't have to spend hours trying to find cute outfits. I had all my clothes already picked out.

'C'mon Bella' Edward called from my doorway. I closed my bag and draped it over my shoulder. I opened my door and he was standing there with a small bag of his own.

'Damn vampire speed' I muttered under my breath. He heard it and laughed. He quickly grabbed my bag from me and then scooped me into his arms.

'You know you love me' he said in a sweet, yet seductive tone. I nodded my head with a little girlish expression on my face.

'Gosh! You're just so freaking adorable' he pinched my cheek with his hand and I quickly tried to swat it away which made him laugh.

'Edward, Bella, Alice, and Jasper will be going in Edward's car. Emmet and Rosalie will go in Rosalie's car and Esme and I will take my car' Carlisle announced when we arrive downstairs. Edward carried me out to his car and threw our bags in the trunk. He opened the passenger door and set me on the seat.

'Aren't you excited Bella?' Alice asked from the backseat. I didn't know if I was excited or worried. I didn't understand what I was feeling.

'I guess you could say that' I guess it was partially true. I mean, I was excited to meet another coven of vampires, but I was worried that they wouldn't like me.

'Bella, you should try and get some sleep. It's going to be a hell of a long drive' Edward said when he got in his seat. Carlisle was the first one to leave, then us, then Rosalie.

The drive was really long and within fifteen minutes I was asleep. The dream I had was the same one I had the other night, the one where Edward was leaving. It seemed so real that it was scary.

'Hello sleepy head' Edward said when I opened my eyes. I smiled and looked out the window.

'Where are we?' I asked. The scenery was much different then that of Forks. I knew we weren't in any of the surrounding cities from my prior visits to Forks.

'Somewhere in Canada I think' he looked at Alice and she nodded. He looked back at me and I let out a little yawn.

'Do we get to go get some maple leaves?' I asked. The three of them looked at me and then burst up laughing.

'What? I mean their flag has a freaking maple leaf on it so shouldn't we get to get some maple leaves while we're here?' they started to laugh even harder. I folded my arms across my chest and pouted which made Edward burst out in an 'Aww, how cute' which made me let out a giggle.

'Let's turn on some music' Jasper suggested. I reached for the radio and turned it to a station that I knew would drive Edward crazy.

'No Bella. Anything but that' he whined. I just smiled at him and started to sing along with the song. Alice joined in soon after.

'Hey! Hey! You! You! I don't like your girlfriend! No way! No way! I think you need a new one. Hey! Hey! You! You! I could be your girlfriend' Alice and I sang it very off key and it drove Jasper and Edward crazy.

'SHUT UP' they both yelled. That just made us sing even louder and ever more off key.

'Hey Alice, are there any cute guys in the Denali clan?' I asked. I mainly asked it to drive Edward crazy, which it did. His grip on the steering wheel tighten and his jaw clenched.

'Of course. There's only one. His name is Eleazar but he's got a companion. Her name is Carmen. She's so lucky' the boys were going crazy now. Just as I predicted.

'Both of you, stop talking' Edward said sternly. Alice and I giggled and kept our mouths shut.

'Thank you Edward' Jasper said from the backseat. Alice hit him pretty hard and I laughed.

'Edward, look at the road. Carlisle's pulling into the gas station' I said as I pointed forward. He had been glaring at me but when he looked at the road he made a sharp turn into the gas station.

'We're filling up. We've still got a long ways to go' Esme said from my window. Everyone got out of their cars and was walking around.

'You look tired Bella' Edward finished hooking the pump up to his gas tank and walked over to me. I was leaning against the car and he stood right in front of me.

'Nope' I said. I had my hands folded across my chest but he undid them and placed them above my head on the roof.

'You look gorgeous' he pressed his body against mine and I saw a bunch of girls look at me with complete jealousy.

'Stop it Edward. We're in public' I felt my face heat up and he just smiled. I tired to push him off of me but he just pressed harder.

'So what. Let them see how much I love you' he pressed his lips to mine and I heard a few scoffs and some girls say 'She's not even pretty'.

'Excuse me' we broke apart and Rosalie was standing about a yard away from us, her arms folded and her foot tapping.

'Go away you stupid skankalank' (thank you to MiXEDBELLA for letting me use her and her friends word). Edward started laughing and Rosalie just walked away.

'Where'd you come up with that word?'

'I don't know. I think someone told me to use it once' (;-)) He smiled and pushed himself off of me. He took the pump and placed it back in the gas pump.

'Is everyone ready?' Carlisle asked. We all answered by getting into our cars.

'Hey Bella, think fast' I turned around to look at Alice and had a water balloon thrown in my face.

'ALICE! DON'T GET MY SEATS WET' Edward yelled. I looked over at Jasper and he was drenched from head to toe.

'Be quiet little Eddie' she said before she threw one at him too. He turned around to look at her and I quickly grabbed anything I could.

'WATCH THE ROAD' I screeched. Edward quickly turned back but didn't stop muttering curse words to Alice.

'Don't ever call me Eddie' he stated. I turned around to look at Alice and she smiled at me. But suddenly her face went very blank and it looked like she was staring into space.

'Alice, Alice, what's wrong' I said in a panic. Jasper and Edward just laughed and Jasper sent a wave of calm over me.

'It's alright Bella. She's just having a vision' I let myself calm down and within minutes Alice was back to normal.

'Edward, hand me your cell phone' he quickly grabbed it and threw it at Alice. She flipped it open and quickly dialed someone's number.

'Carlisle, we're going to be a little behind you guys. We're going to make a pit stop' I heard Carlisle's voice on the other end and then Alice hung up. She then dialed someone else's number.

'Emmett, go around us. We need to make a stop somewhere up here so just follow Carlisle. We know the way to get there' Emmett said something then Alice hung up and handed it to Edward.

'Make a right at the dirt path up ahead' she ordered. Edward obeyed and soon we were on a dirt path driving to god knows where.

'Make a left at that rock' I looked at Jasper and he shrugged. What was Alice doing? Why was she taking us out here?

'Go about two hundred more feet then stop' Edward did as he was told and when we pulled to a stop Alice was the first one out of the car.

'Hurry up you guys' she said before she knelt down. We all got out of the car and saw her digging.

'Alice, what're you doing?' Jasper asked. She just looked at him and then continued to dig her hole.

'If you get over here and help me then you'll see' we all exchanged glances before going over and helping her.

It wasn't long before we found something. Edward and Jasper pulled it out and it was some type of box. It had a lock on it and neither of the boys could break it. Alice seemed to remember something and searched the ground around her before finding a key. She unlocked the box and inside was a ring that was white gold and had a gold trim. It had a bunch of designs on it and it looked REALLY old.

'Oh my god' all three of them said together. They all looked at it like it was a piece of treasure of something.

'What is that?' I asked. They looked at me like I was crazy. Edward held up the ring so that I could see it.

'This Bella is an ancient vampiric artifact. It's been around since the dawning of the first vampires. It has the power to grant two wishes to the person who wears it' I looked at the ring in awe.

'Who should get it?' Alice asked. We all looked at each other but I was the first one to speak up.

'I think Alice should get it since she found it' Edward and Jasper nodded and Edward handed the ring to Alice.

'I don't want it though. I have a great husband, a loving family' she looked at me 'And a wonderful best friend. I don't need any wishes. I think Jasper should have it' she handed it to Jasper.

'I don't want it either. Here Edward' he handed it to Edward.

'How could I want anything more in my life?' he handed the ring to me but I knew I couldn't take it.

'I'm the last person who should be wishing for anything more. You've all become my family and I feel so blessed. It would be selfish to wish for anything more' they were all smiling at me and I did something totally unexpected. I grabbed Edward's hand and slipped it on his finger.

'Bella, you shouldn't have' he tried to take the ring off but it was stuck.

'It won't come off Edward. Not until you make your two wishes' Alice stated. Edward looked at her and then to me.

'Then I guess I'll be wearing it for all of eternity' we all laughed and then walked back to Edward's car in our mud drenched clothes.
