Chapter 9

"Where are we?" I asked him.

"I'll show you," he said as I heard him walk behind me and begin to untie the black blindfold. He took it off and dropped it to the ground.

I gasped in amazement when I saw where we were.

"Oh my gosh, Edward! It's beautiful!" I said. The last time I went to the meadow—our meadow—was when I was almost killed by Laurent. It was amazing how different it was to see it then, and now. Before, it was beautiful, but it scared me to be there. It only made the hole bigger.

But now, being here with Edward again, it was stunning. I tried not to remember the last time I was here. Just focus on now, Bella, I told myself.

Looking around, I saw a blanket in the middle of the meadow with flower petals all around it. I gasped. "Did you do all this for me?" I asked him in amazement.

"No, actually," he said.

"Then how...?" I wondered. He chuckled.

"I had Alice come and do it. I never haven't left your side all morning, remember, how could've I done this?"

I looked at him and grinned. He always had to be technical. I ran over to the blanket and sat down in the middle of it. I looked over at Edward and saw his skin sparkling in the sunlight. He was beautiful, as always, and I was amazed at my luck to have someone as perfect as him.

He walked over to me and sat down next to me on the blanket. He was quiet, and I stopped making much noise too. I could hear beautiful sounds all around the meadow. It was beautiful. Edward grabbed my hand with his, and moved closer to me. I leaned my head on his shoulder and closed me eyes.

We sat there, perfectly still, for what seemed like eternity. I never wanted to ruin this perfect moment. After what seemed like forever, he took my head in his hands and turned it to face him. I smiled at him, and he smiled back. He leaned over and kissed my forehead, my cheek, under my ear, all over my face, except for my lips. I let out a groan as his kisses moved down my neck, and I felt him smile. Then he moved his ear and put it on my chest, listening to my heart.

I remembered the first time I came here with him, he had done the same thing. We sat like that for another immeasurable moment, when he suddenly got up.

"Wha...?" I asked him. He sniffed the air. "What is it?" I asked him. He put a finger to my lips. He mouthed "Don't make a sound" to me. I stood completely still, understanding.

Well, half understanding. What was it that he had heard? I was about to ask him, but then I remembered that I had to be still and quiet. Then I heard a loud growl come from Edward.

He scooped me up in his arms and ran back to his car faster than I had ever seen (well, felt) him run. He set me down in the passenger seat and then ran over to the driver side. He turned on the car and raced away from the meadow.

He was breathing very heavily, trying to control himself.

"Edward...what is it?" I asked him. He shook his head, and I realized that he didn't want to talk about it. Suddenly, his cell phone rang.

"Hello?...Oh, Alice...no, we just left...No, I smelled them...I was just at the meadow...Yes...Oops." He paused for a long time then. When he spoke again, it was quiet and rushed. I couldn't hear what he said, and I supposed that was the point. After a few minutes, we drove up at his house. He was at my side of the car, opening the door for me, before I could even blink. He picked me up and carried me into his house.

"Hey! Put me down, I can walk by myself!" I yelled. He ignored me, and I stopped struggling. He carried me into his room and set me down on his couch. Then walked over to his door and closed it, but not before Carlisle and Alice joined us in his room.

"Is anyone going to tell me whats going on?!" I asked. They all ignored me. They were talking in low, quick voices and I couldn't understand or hear a word they said. After a few minutes Edward left the room with Carlisle.

"Come back here! Tell me whats going on!" I yelled as I got up to follow them. But I was stopped by Alice, who carefully picked me up and brought me back to the couch.

"Alice! WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!" I yelled.

"Bella, calm down!" she said. I felt a wave of calm from Jasper wash over me. When I felt that, I got angry.

"I WILL NOT CALM DOWN!" I yelled. "I REFUSE TO CALM DOWN UNTIL SOMEONE TELLS ME WHY EDWARD PICKED ME UP AND DROVE ME BACK HERE AND WHAT YOU GUYS WERE TALKING ABOUT AND WHY EDWARD LEFT!!!!" I screamed. Alice looked shocked.

"No one is going to tell you anything if you have an attitude like that," Alice said. I crossed my arms over my chest and sat back down on the couch with a huff.

"Fine." I said.

"Thank you," Alice said.

"Now, what happened?" I asked, trying to be calm.

"Well, it's kind of a long story..." Alice said.

"Well, you do have all of eternity. Start at the beginning, and don't leave anything out."

Alice sighed, and began to tell me.

Edward's POV

I was sitting peacefully with Bella in our meadow when I smelled it. It was the most awful smell I had ever smelled in my life, and it was a scent I recognized.

Wolves.

I motioned for Bella to be quiet, and listened for their thoughts.

Filthy bloodsucker! I heard one of them think. It wasn't a voice I recognized, so I figured it couldn't be Jacob. I kept listening.

If she thinks she's going to escape from us this time, she's wrong. We have one more man with us now, and there is no way she will get away.

She? Then I understood. The wolves must've smelled me, and thought it was Victoria. They must be coming here to attack her, and kill her. And I knew from experience with wolves, that when they smelled a vampire, they wasted no time figuring out who it was. They just attacked.

I had to get Bella out of here. I picked her up and ran faster than I ever had in my life back to my car. I set her in it and drove back to my house at 140 mph. Bella asked me what was going on, but I shook my head, and she understood that I couldn't talk about it right now. Then my phone rang.

"Hello?" I said as I answered it.

"I just had a vision," the voice on the line said.

"Oh, Alice," I said, but she cut me off.

"Are you still at the meadow?" she asked.

"No, we just left," I answered her.

"Did you see the wolves?" she asked me.

"No, I smelled them," I responded.

"Edward, I had a vision of them coming. Did you trespass on their land?" she asked me.

"I was just at the meadow..." I replied.

"Edward, did you take the long way to get there?" she asked me.

"Yes," I said.

"Of course you did, you wanted to confuse Bella of where you were taking her. But Edward, you forgot something. The long way involves going on their land!"

I froze. "Oops," I whispered.

"Not just oops! MAJOR oops! Edward, in my vision they were coming to the house. They burst through the front door and ran upstairs to find you! This is not a good thing, Edward! You put the entire family in danger, and even Bella! Any of us could get killed, Edward, all because of your mistake of driving on their land! How could you do something like this?!"

"I forgot, Alice! And it's ok, we'll think of something. I won't let them hurt any of us, or Bella. Does Carlisle have a plan?" I asked her.

"I'll let you talk to him," she said.

Carlisle and I talked for a minute, and then I hung up. We decided that we would have to get Emmett and Jasper, and whoever else in the family would want to help, and confront the wolves. We would try to talk everything out. Explain to them what had happened, and that we didn't mean any harm.

We would hopefully be able to talk to their leader, Sam, and remind him that people from his pack had also been on our land many times. That Jacob had broken the rules as well. We would tell them that this evened out the score, and that we shouldn't have violence. We would talk things out, and hope for the best.

And if that didn't work, we would fight.

Ooooooooo snap. Violence is NOT the answer! (No, it's the question, and the answer is YES!)

Please review...its very helpful for me!
