"You smell quite delicious today.. . If I'm here any longer I might just have to help myself to a bite." He was the enemy, the last person I had wanted to see this day, he was Aro. He reached over to touch Edward. The look on Edwards face was one of a serial killers, I'm sure if I wasn't there this situation would be less intense. My days as a human were numbered and it saddend me. We had no set plans, but I did know I wouldn't be able to see Charlie or my mother for a few years.

"If you have every intent on changing her why is she not changed?" He questioned Edward. "She's a safety hazard to our community.. She can expose us." He snapped.

"Aro," Carlisle said calmly "we promise you this will happen soon."

"I'm afraid soon might be too late." Aro snicked in a malicious voice.

"Were doing it on our honeymoon, I want her to have as much human memories as possible. Besides, you already knew it was going to happen that night" Edward gave Aro a look I have never seen him give someone before. It was worse than the look he gave Jacob in the tent together.

"I'll give you two weeks. I feel like being a little generous today." He gave a slight smile and stared at Edward. "I have a delicious meal waiting for me at home.. I was hoping maybe you would join me. It might change your mind and broaden your horizons." He was so serious it was scary.

"I'm afraid I will decline your offer. And you won't have to do what you have in mind, Aro. That will never happen." Edward said.

What was Aro thinking? The thought of turning into a vampire was somewhat frightening but it's something I have never wanted so much in my whole life. It's the day I have been waiting for, it's what everyone moment in the past year and a half have been living up to. It was the day I feared. Everything would change that day. Edward would become my whole world, even more so than he already is.

Aro eyed me like a piece of meat. I'd seen that look before and it wasn't a good one to see. It brought me pain full memories.

Edward and Carlisle were still talking to Aro in front of Emmet's jeep. At this moment I realized something startling, Angela was in the house. I ran through the house faster than I ever have. I checked every room and she was nowhere to be found. I was stopped to something as hard as a rock. It was Emmet.



"Slow down there Bella! You don't want any bruises for the wedding." He chuckled.

"WHERE IS ANGELA?!"

"Chill out, Alice already has it taken care of. Why don't you check out the basement?" Emmett said, "And please, don't fall down the stairs."

"Thanks Emmett!" I screamed as I ran down the hall.

I felt like I was running in a marathon, I didn't have much to be worried about but I wouldn't want Aro to find out a human was in there house then have her exposed. Or worse, have her killed.

"Angela! Great, I'm so glad to see you!" I said trying to catch my breath.

"Uhmm… great to see you to Bella?" she said questioning my tone of voice.

What would Angela do if she knew what danger she was in right now, one wrong move and her life was over. I would never be able to forgive myself. I heard footsteps on the floor above and the door to the basement open, to my relief it was Edward, my beautiful Edward.

"Bella, I've made some plans for us." He said to me. I was confused but how could I ever refuse. "Alice do you mind driving Angela home?"

"Not at all, it would be my pleasure!" Alice said excited.

Edward dragged me up the stairs and off to his bedroom after Alice and Angela have left. He sat me down on the bed he had gotten for me and I was just sitting there staring at the ceiling.

"So…" I said puzzled.

"So what? You know exactly why I did that, don't play dumb Bella." He hissed.

I sat there mystified of the tone of his voice. He was upset; it had to been about what had just happened.

"I'm sorry," he said pressed his lips against my fore head. "I lost my temper. But if you knew what he was thinking of doing to you… what he wanted me to do to you…" He said shaking his head "I could have killed him right then..."

"How long do I have?" I asked in a scared voice.



"As long as I said before, they want you to change on the wedding night. They question me about it though. So they gave me two weeks, the preferably want it that night."

Did he ever think what would happen if I didn't change?

"Edward, "I questioned him "do you ever stop to think about what's going to happen if I don't become one of you? I'll lose my life; it will be cut even shorter. And you will lose me FOREVER."

The look on his face after I had said this was pure disgust. I knew I shouldn't have said this but it was one-hundred percent true.

"You don't need to say that… I am completely aware." He said with his head down. He looked so beautiful, so perfect. How could I have ever fallen so much in love. "I am going to do it, if you die... I do too."

"And you do not need to say that." I told him.

It was quite for ten minutes. He stroked my hair and kissed my fore head.

"The beauty and the beast..." he murmured.

"What is that suppose to mean" I asked him.

"I am the beast. I've brought you into a world of danger and death." He said anger at himself.

"You're no beast. You're beautiful. The most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on, please don't say that about you, Edward. I love you."

He kissed me gently against the lips; there was something much different about this kiss. It was so passionate and so right. There was no holding back with this kiss. I'd been in this situation before, and it didn't end up the way I wanted it too. His kisses were the most addicting thing you could give any girl. Everything in the world stopped at that moment, nothing mattered. All the problems in the world were gone and I had nothing to worry about. I was the safest I would ever be in his arms.

He pulled away from me and got up into the other room. I sat there for a few minutes. It was still like being in heaven even though he had left. I did feel some guilt though. It wasn't like we were a normal couple.

"I'm sorry about that..." he said feeling guilty. I had no idea he was back in the room and it startled me.



"It's completely my fault, don't you say sorry."

"I love you, Bella. You are my world and I cannot give you what you want. It tares me up inside." He look ashamed and it broke my heart almost to see him like that.

"Edward, it isn't your fault. Everything will work out. I love you." I told him.

He put his hand on my face and traced my cheeks with his fingers all the way to my lips. He started at me for a few moments.

"Let's go somewhere." he told me

"Where?"

"An old favorite place." He said smiling.
