I could hear Edward telling me it was time to wake up, but I just didn't want to leave the comfort of the bed and his arms. In a way I am still waiting to wake up and see that he never came back and that everything that has happened since then has all been a dream.

"Come on sleepy head, we need to wake up." I felt his cool breath underneath my ear and I couldn't help but giggle. "Ah I see I have a little faker on my hands." He chuckled right before he started tickling me.

"Hehe…stop…hehe…Edward." I tried asking him to stop but it was useless I was trapped in a non-stopping wave of laughter. "Hehe…stoooppp…I cant…breath…hehe." After what seemed like hours of him tickling me I was finally let go.

"Go have your human moment, and then meet me on the lower deck. But don't be to long we will be landing shortly." He smiled as he lightly kissed my cheek and then headed down the stairs. Once he was out of sight I looked around wondering where the bathroom would be and then I spotted it, it was to my right and it wrapped in behind the wall the bed was on. I walked in expecting to see a small plane washroom, but when I entered, I was taken back by the large room. On the left wall was one huge mirror with three bowl like sinks perfectly spaced and lined up. I was not shocked when there was no toilet or shower just a large arm-wall and vanity on the other wall. Quickly I washed my face and teeth, and then brushed my hair and threw it into a messy bun and then headed to the lower deck.

"Welcome back to the world of the conscious!" Emmett teased.

"Uh thanks."

"So Bella you ready to go shopping?" Rosalie asked with a slight smile, I just nodded.

"We should get ready to land, we will be descending any time now." Edward smiled as he buckled me in and pulled me closer to him. It was only a few more minutes and then I felt the plane slowly decline, I don't mind flying but I hate the landing part of it. Once we had the okay to exit the plane Alice snatched me from Edward and darted out the plane.

"Alice!" Was all I heard Edward yelled.

"Slow down Alice I can't keep up." I was whining as she dragged me through the airport.

"Sorry Bella, but we want to get there when they open." She chirped and then started moving even faster, but not pushing past a fast human pace, but I was still having trouble keeping up. We came to a sudden stop once we were outside underneath an over-hang for the sun was out and it was a bright and sunny day.

"Alice what are we going to do now?" She just smiled at me, as I noticed a large red SVU pull up.

"Get it, already." Rosalie smiled as we pilled in.

"So where are we headed?"

"Oh you will find out soon enough." Alice beamed as Rosalie speed out of the parking area and out into traffic. I watched as the two girls in the front seat started to bounce with excitement as we entered a shopping centers covered parking.

"Well are you ready Bella?"

"Not really."

"Ah don't be like that, we are here to shop not only for prom but your wedding as well remember?" That was right, so I smiled at the girls as we climbed out of the car and walked into the Mall.

"Okay first we head to get our prom dresses then we will head off toward the bridal shop." Alice was almost giddy as she pulled me toward a store named, Designer Style. When we walked into the store there was a middle-aged red headed woman at the counter, and when she looked up at us she rolled her eyes.

"I am sorry ladies I do not think that we have anything in here that you can afford." She was almost snotty when she spoke to us.

"Excuse me? I don't think you realize who we are!" Rosalie growled.

"I beg your pardon?" The lady shoot back, as I saw another woman enter the store from and back room. She was a smaller lady with bright blonde hair; I could tell it was a fake blonde.

"Nichole you be nice to these young ladies." She scolded. "I am so sorry Mrs. Cullen, it is so hard to find good help these days." Wait did she just call Rosalie Mrs. Cullen?

"That's okay Liana, we are just here to get our dresses." Alice smiled.

"I will got get our seamstress and meet you in room four." She smiled as both Alice and Rosalie nodded.

"How does she…"

"We come here often. Where do you think we got last years prom dresses?" Rosalie smiled; I'm still getting use to her being nice to me.

"Oh." Was all I could get out as the laughed and pulled me back to the dressing area. It was a large room with mirrors on all walls, and in the middle was a foot high pedestal were one could stand and have there dress hemmed.

"Your dresses our behind the curtains if you ladies would like to put them on so we can get the final measurements." Liana smiled as she pointed toward the right side of the room were I noticed a small door in the mirrors.

"Thank you, we will call when we are ready for more assistance." Alice nodded as she pulled me toward the doorway and tossed me into a little room behind a curtain.

"Now put the dress on Bella, we can't wait to see what it looks like on you." I smiled and turned to face the dress. I gasped, it was one thing to see it on the paper but it was a hole other to actually see it in person. There in front of me hung a beautiful dress it was a fully sequined gown featuring a plunging v-neck halter bodice with front knot and drape. It was a mermaid style fitted skirt with chiffon insets that give it a flowing look, and it was in the loveliest shade of Turquoise. I was so caught up in its beauty that I forgot to try it on till I hear both Alice and Rosalie asking me how it fit. After coming back to reality I quickly put it on and then walked out to see both girls in exceptional dresses. Alice was wearing a lavishing silk v-neck dress with a large slit in the front close to the thigh, the back was a low cut back with cress cross straps. Around the waist in back was a line of flowers where the fabric bunched up and then flowed out in a train, it was a lovely pink. Then there was Rosalie's dress; hers was a two-piece hip hugger. The corset bodice is a semi sheer and accented with embroidered flowers and rhinestones; the skirt is light and flowy with a knot in the front with fabric flowing from it. The green flattered her quite well.

"Oh Bella you look wonderful!" Alice squealed.

"She's right, that dress is perfect for you." Then both Rosalie and Alice dragged me out to the room with the mirrors and when I saw myself I was in aw. The dress fit me perfectly and it showed what curves I have.

"So what do you think?" Alice was overly excited.

"Its lovely but Alice this must coast…"

"Now Bella, you should know by now that money doesn't mean much to us." Rosalie stated.

"But I still can't let you spend it on me."

"Now listen to me, you are family and us Cullen's have a reputation to up hold."

"That was weird hearing from you Alice." Rosalie giggled at her sister and I couldn't help it but I laughed. When we were done laughing Alice called Liana back in and it only took about three hours but we had all our dresses hemmed and were getting ready to leave, when Alice went still.

"Bella quick, she is having a vision!" Rosalie yelped as we stood in front of Alice so that no one could see her in this state. It was only a few moments but when Alice returned to reality she was a little freaked. "Alice what did you see?"

"I am not sure, but I think that there is someone here." She seemed a little worried.

"Who?" I asked without really thinking.

"I'm not sure yet, we need to speak with everyone else. But not to worry I didn't see anything bad happening, so we can continue our shopping trip." And with that she paid for our dresses and gave the clerk our hotel and room and asked for it to be delivered to there, the lady nodded and we were off to our next stop. We were running down that hall toward our destination when both Alice and Rosalie stopped dead in their tracks and started to giggle, then I followed their gaze to a stored named Extravagant Bride. Great this is going to coast a lot of money and there is nothing I can do to stop them. Once inside they started bouncing from one dress to the next and handed them to a shopkeeper.

"Come on Bella, let's try these on." Alice said as she pulled me into the dressing area. I tried one after another, and yes they were all beautiful but none was the dress.

"Wow, Bella this is harder then I thought it would be." Rosalie giggled.

"I know, I don't think I can try one another dress."

"Aw, don't say that Bella, I just found this one and I think that it is perfect for you." Alice was right when I saw what was in her arms I knew right then and there that, that was the dress I had dreamed of.

"Alice it's gorgeous, I love it." Now I was bouncing up and down.

"Well go try it on silly." She handed it too me and I went into the dressing room and tried it on, it was perfect.

"Yes, that is the one. I think you may look better then I do." Rosalie teased.

"I agree, that dress is perfect. Now lets pick ours out and then we will be heading back to the hotel. I am sure Edward is going crazy without you." We all laughed.

"Before we go back can we stop and get something to eat, I'm starved. Remember I didn't eat breakfast." I felt silly asking but I was really hungry.

"Sorry Bella, we forget about that sometimes." Alice smiled.

"Its okay, one day I wont need it." I smiled back.

"Lets just prey that that pig headed brother of mine keeps to his word."

"Rosalie now don't worry her."

"Oh sorry."

"No worry, he promised so if he goes back on it I wont marry him." I knew it was going to happen just by what Alice had told me earlier in her letter and I also knew Edward wouldn't break his promise. It didn't take as long to find dresses for both girls, we even found ones for Esme and Renee, this was turning out to be a perfect day. The strangest thing was this shopping trip was not bad at all, nothing like I thought it would be.

"So what do you want to eat?" Alice asked as we entered a food court. I pondered that over for a minute as I looked over the court.

"How about over there." I pointed to a pizza place.

"Fine with us, let's get you fed. Edward would kill us if he knew we didn't feed you." Alice laughed as we walked over to the pizza stand. Not being in the mood for meat I just got a slice of cheese and a soda, then sat down and began to eat. And like always they watched me as I eat, you think I would be use to it, but I am not.

"How can you eat that?"

"Well Rosalie how can you eat what you eat?" She looked at me strangely for a moment then spoke.

"Point taken." As I finished up and threw my tray out I saw both Alice and Rosalie looking at something in shock.

"Come on we have to leave now!" Rosalie stated as she grabbed my arm and started to race out of the food court.

"What's going on?" I asked as I was pulled threw the mall.

"We need to get out of here, and back to the hotel." Alice's tone was strained. "Rosalie we need to go faster!" She nodded and then tossed me on her back and they began to run faster then a human could, but thankful no one really noticed. We were back at our car in a matter of seconds, and that is when I noticed a figure standing next to the car.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" The figure halfway growled.

"What do you want?" Alice growled back.

"Now now, Alice no needs to get angry." He then stepped into the light; I knew right then and there he was not human. He was good-looking, but not as beautiful as the Cullen's. He had shoulder length black hair, and he was built like Jasper but about two inches taller, but the thing that scared me the most were his eyes. They were not golden or red but a deep crimson and they were filled with hatred.

"Move out of our way Alexander!" Rosalie snapped as she placed me on my feet and moved me behind her and Alice.

"I see we have a human with you. And yet you don't drink them, so what are you doing with her?" He eyed me, which sent chills down my spin. "Who are you girl?"

"That is none of your business! Now move!" Alice spat.

"Okay, okay I don't want to fight, well at least not you. Now I do want you to tell that friend of yours that I will be looking for him! Oh and let Edward know that Alicia will be looking for him." He smiled and then was gone.

"Who was that?" I was still a little scared but was feeling better now that we were on our way back to the hotel.

"You will find out soon enough." Alice said as she looked worriedly at me. The rest of the car ride was in silence it was only a few minutes but long enough to make me worry even more. Who was this Alexander and Alicia? And what would she want with Edward? I was so caught up in my own thoughts that I didn't notice we had pulled up to the hotel.

"Come on Bella, we need to go talk with everyone else." I heard Alice as she pulled me from the car. We walked up to the desk and asked for our room numbers once we had them we rushed to the elevators and up to our floor. We were in the penthouse on the twenty-sixth floor.

"Something has happened we need to talk to everyone now." Alice said not much louder then normal as soon as the elevator doors opened. I was still a little worried on what was happening, that I was not able to take in the room around me. Instead I just followed behind the girls as we walked into the living room were everyone had gathered to hear what was up.

"Welcome back Bella." Edward smiled as he opened his arms for me, and of course I went straight to him. He gave me a slight kiss and placed me on his lap. I didn't realize just how much I had missed him until now.

"Alice please tell us what happened." Carlisle stated. As she thought back to what had happened I felt Edward tense underneath me.

"We ran into Alexander." She growled and I noticed that everyone in the room froze and Jasper immediately went and wrapped his arms around his wife.

"Are you sure that it was him?" Esme questioned.

"Yes, he wants me to tell Jasper that he would be looking for you, and that Alicia will be looking for you Edward." I heard both of them growl.

"This does seem to be a problem but we will deal with it like last time, as for now we should not worry to much." I could tell that Carlisle was just saying this to keep me calm. Before everyone went there separate ways I noticed that they had one of their quick vampire talks that I would not have been able to pick up on. Even though I was getting better at it this time I wasn't able to pick anything up.

"Edward please tell me what's going on?"

"You don't need to worry about it."

"Can you at least tell me who these people are?" I pleaded.

"Bella I…"

"Please." I tried to dazzle him and to my liking it looked like it was working.

"Fine, I will tell you." He paused to think of how to tell me, and then began again. "I met Alicia back when I was separated from Carlisle and Esme. We traveled together for some time, but she wanted more and that is when I broke ties with her. Well after about two decades I ran into her again and she was with a new coven Alexander is the leader. Things were fine at first but then he became obsessed with Alice, and well lest just say him and Jasper got into a bad fight." He was looking at me scared that I would freak but I stayed calm. "Then again about seven years ago we ran into them again, and things got even more violent. If it was not for Emmett and me I think Jasper would have killed him that time, also Alicia still has it in her mind that I belong to her, so from this point on you will not leave my sight."

"Do they have any gifts?" I asked after a moment of thinking what he was saying over. I could tell he was not going to tell me this. "Edward please tell me."

"Bella, I have already told you enough." He was stern when he said this, it was the tone he used that told me not to push it any further, so I let it drop for now. "So how was your shopping trip?" He smiled trying to change the subject, but it never reached his eyes.

"I actually had fun." I smiled.

"Really, can I see your dresses?"

"No, and you better not have looked while I was not here."

"No, but I wanted too." He then placed a small kiss on my check. "So would you like a tour of our suite?" I nodded. I still really hadn't noticed anything about it. "Well this is the sitting quarters." He motioned around the room, it looked like any normal hotel room but the entire east wall was made of windows, much like their mansion, there were two couches and three chairs in a square in the middle of the room and to the far right, right across from the windows was a the hall that we walked through from the elevator to get in her. He then pulled me over the south side of the room where there was a large door that opened up into a large TV room, this room had no windows but its east wall was a large TV screen. Jasper and Alice were in here talking, they were sitting on the long bench that lined the back wall, and in front of them were several other benches, and it looked more like a theater. "This is the viewing room." Edward smiled. Then we walked back out of the room and went back down the hall that I just came through not to long ago, and I saw that there were three other doors; we went into the only one to the left. It was a large bedroom, there was not that much in here just a stereo on the back wall and in the middle of the room was a large bed with a canopy draping over it. The room was done in different shades of blue, it was very peaceful. "This is our room." Edward smiled as he picked me up and tossed me onto the bed. Before I knew it he was lying on top of me and I just looked up at him with love in my eyes.

"I love you Edward Cullen." I smiled

"And I love you Isabella Swan." I narrowed my eyes as he used my whole name, which caused him to laugh. Then he began to kiss me but it was guarded as usual. I can't wait for the day when we no longer need to hold back, when we can just let lose. Then the time came and he pulled back and then moved to my left side.

"I think that you should get some sleep now."

"But I'm not tired."

"Bella you…" But he was cut of by Alice barging in. "Alice what is it."

"Their here!"

"What!" Edward was on his feet quicker then I could blink. "Bella, I need you to come with me now!" I nodded as Edward and I started out of the room and down the hall and back into the sitting room, where the rest of his family was sitting.

"How did they find us?" Emmett was asking.

"I am not sure, but this is getting dangerous we need to…" Carlisle started but was cut off.

"Well hi there lover!" I heard a girl call from behind us. I turned around to see a very beautiful girl standing in the doorway. She was about my height but with flawless blonde hair like Rosalie's, she was actually prettier then Rosalie. She was well built but the thing that stood out the most where her blood red eyes, they reminded me all to well of Victoria.

"What do you want Alicia?" Edward growled as took a protective stance in front of me.

"Aw now don't be so harsh, I just…wait is that girl a human?" Alicia seemed to grow excited by this. "Is she a gift?" Edward growled. "Oh I see, you're taken back by her." The she laughed.

"Alicia you are not welcome here so leave!" Rosalie growled.

"Shut up blonde this is between me and him."

"How dare you talk to my wife like that!" She just glared at Emmett, and for some reason he backed down. I have never seen the Cullen family scared but for some reason they were frightened of her.

"Now Edward I have missed you, were have you been hiding?" She advanced forward but stopped when she noticed that he was standing firm and protectively in front of me. "Who is this girl?" She was now growing impatient. "Fine don't tell me, but I will find out, and you know I will." She smiled as she then disappeared.

"Alicia your little games will not work!" Edward snapped.

"Aw don't ruin the fun now dear." Where was her voice coming from?

"Just because I can no longer see you doesn't mean I don't know where you are, remember my gift!"

"Ah fine, but you are a party pooper!" Then she reappeared but right next to me, I jump back a little and yelped. "Aw did I scare the little human?" She went to touch me but Edward quickly moved in-between us and growled.

"You will NOT touch her!"

"Touchy touchy, wait a minute I know what is going on here." I then saw anger flicker I her eyes. "How could you Edward?" She growled.

"Get it through your thick scull Alicia I do not love you, I never did nor will I ever." With that she was gone again. "Sorry Bella, but I think that we are going to have to cut our trip here short." Edward apologized.

"I understand." I was beginning to feel a little stressed and I knew that was not good Carlisle told me to avoid stress, but once again things seemed to be stacking against us.

"Bella, I am sorry that once again I have put you in harms way." I could see the guilt all over his face

"Don't feel bad Edward. Like I have told you before I am a trouble magnet." I tried to make him smile, which worked but it didn't reach his eyes.

"Bella you are truly one of a kind." He then kissed me slightly.

"Ohm, sorry to interrupt, but what are we going to do?" Alice cut us short.

"I am not sure Alice, but I do know I will not let her or him touch Bella." Alice nodded, and then left the room I then noticed that everyone else has also left us alone.

"Where did everyone go?"

"You don't need to worry about it, I will keep you safe." I smiled. "Now I think you need to get some sleep, this has been a stressful day and that is not good for you." I nodded, I was now feeling sleepy, we then headed back to our room. Once I was in something easier to sleep in I crawled into bed with Edward.

"I love you Bella, and I promise I will always protect you."

"I love you to Edward." Then he kissed my forehead.

"Aw now aren't you to sweet." I jumped as Edward once again took a protective stance above me.

"How did you get in here, without…"

"Oh did I forget to tell you that I have picked up a new gift." Alicia then appeared right in front of Edward. He began to growl as she brushed his check. I noticed that Edward froze under her touch. "Now what am I going to do about you?" She snarled as she walked around Edward, I looked to him for help but he never moved. "Oh he can't help you, time has frozen around him." She laughed.

"Wha…what do you want?" I backed away to the other side of the bed.

"Are you scared?" She laughed as she came closer to me. "Well, you should be!" She then pounced at me, I went to yelp but nothing came out. Before I could get away she had me by the arm. "Did they tell you my gift?" I shock my head no. "Well then this makes it more fun!" She laughed as my arm began to burn. "This is just part of my gift, oh and this is just a warning as well. You stay away from my man and I wont kill you, got it!" She hissed as the burning grew worse, I was scared stiff I couldn't move. "I asked you a question!" She growled as the burning became worse, I then looked down at my left arm were she had me and saw that she was burning my flesh the same way a fire would. "Fine don't answer me you little pest, but you have been warned!" Then everything went black!
