Chapter Three

Awake

EPOV

Panic flooded through me as Emmett tore me off Bella, only then did I realize what I was doing and what I had done. I let Emmett take me away, I was a monster. God, what was worse is that I knew straight off Bella would always forgive. I'm the luckiest idiot on the planet to have her. I know I don't deserve her but, she wants me, I cannot deny her what she asks of me. Even if she told me to leave I would try to.

Sadly my family caught us too late and I had been weak to her, I gave in to what I wanted and it was good, oh so very good.

*************

Three days have gone by now, she should be ok, focus on should.

"Edward" Carlisle's voice called. My mind went straight to his and I saw her, as angelic as ever, her eye's fluttered in his head. Immediately I focused on her heart beat, slowly it stopped. I ran downstairs in record time, instantly stood next to Carlisle. My throat was aching, she wasn't the only one who would need to hunt.

"Is she ok?" I muttered, biting my lip and closing my eyes, begging to the Lord that Bella would be ok. Please, let her forgive me.

"I'm fine." She muttered rolling over and falling on the floor, but before she hit the floor she swung herself up and stood staring around herself. "I guess I'm not clumsy anymore." She chuckled walking closer.

She was different, in a good way. Her body had filled out little, curves in all the right places and legs that went on for miles. Her hair was shiny and a shade deeper with a little red in it, she smelt different but the same, it was weird. Her eyes were a slight shock, I knew they'd be red, they're freaky.

"Everything's different, clearer." She murmured looking around herself. I was entranced by the way she moved, I wanted her, bad. I felt a smack on my head.

"Bless, Edward's learnt to show his feelings." Emmett laughed noticing my obvious boner.

"Emmett, not now." Carlisle muttered eyes on Bella. "Bella, I'm sure you're thirsty. You probably need to go hunting. In fact so does Edward, he hasn't hunted since his, erm... accident."

"Yeah, it's weird though, until you mentioned it I barely noticed." She seemed confused. I tentatively took her hand in mine, which her eyes focused on and a soft smile was on her lips and I didn't hide the gasp from me. I hadn't seen her in three days and she was more beautiful than ever. She looked at inquisitively and sighed softly. "How is it that even though you haven't changed you're still more beautiful then I remember." She leant into me, gently. "Your warmer too, and softer."

"I never witnessed beauty as yours Bella." My eyes locked with hers as I tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear and her lips met mine softly and she pulled away, her face distraught. The thirst seemed non-existent as I looked at her.

"Charlie" The simple word killed the mood and brought up many questions of my own, the past three days had been a daze, and I'd basically spent the whole time panicking. We turned to Carlisle who told us Charlie thought Bella was dead, killed by a local serial killer and the remains had been destroyed through the use of acid. Incidentally the blame had been put on one of the men who had made an attempt to assault Bella in Port Angeles so long ago...

"Also Bella might like to know where we are Edward." Carlisle sighed before leaving the room.

"Where are we then?" She looked unsurprised but curious and I fought my urge to jump on her and do all sorts of things, interesting things.

"Somewhere near Selawick Alaska. I think anyway, I haven't been able to pay enough attention for the past three days." I chuckled trying to lighten the mood. She didn't say anything just simply brought her lips swiftly to mine and her hands quickly wound into my hair pulling me in as my hands went to her waist. As a newborn she is temporarily stronger than me but at the time I saw no need to fight her, I let her hold me and make willing to beg her for release.

"Sorry." She chuckled as she pulled away, no doubt my blatant hard on caught her eye.

"You need to hunt. So we can get back to... other things..." I sighed stroking her soft face with my hand.

Before we could leave the door rushed open and of course Alice appeared with A giant mirror. "Sorry Edward but I had to be here the first Time." She muttered not looking at me, just placing the mirror on the floor the jumping Bella. Not good, just before Alice saw it Bella swiped round and pulled an arm off defensively, snarling. She crouched towards Alice growling, knocking over what she'd been previously lying on.

"Bella. It's just Alice." I said careful, trying not to make her attack me too. Bella looked at Alice, who for the moment was glaring.

"Sorry." Bella frowned, if she were human she'd be blushing that angelic blush, she leaned down to try and help Alice.

"Bella, it's ok. I'll have revenge." Bella looked confused. Looking at Alice's thoughts I understood what she meant. Wait till you pop the question Edward. Barbie Bella WILL happen. This was followed by a very beautiful mental image of Bella's face as she walked down the Aisle towards me. Though there was none of her dress in the image. Damn traditions.

"Ugh." The sound was half of exasperation, half of need. Alice quickly healed up and her arm was fine and she looked Bella over.

"Close your eyes Bella." Alice ginned at Bella as I stood rolling my eyes. Typical, making sure she's there the first time she looks at herself in the mirror. GOD!

"Why? Edward what's she up to?" Bella looked scared of Alice now, I couldn't blame her with the memories Alice must have left her with.

"She just wants to show you how you look Love, no harm intended." Something Bella had wanted of immortality was to be beautiful which is utterly obscured. "You've always been beautiful to me."

"Love is blind." Bella snorted, "Ok then. I'll close my eyes."

"Silly Bella were beautiful now you're perfection." Alice smiled reassuringly, I rolled my eyes. There had been nothing wrong to begin with.

"Ok let's just get over with this." Bella sighed closing her eyes. The red in them was bound to surprise her.

"I'm just turning you to face the mirror Bella." Alice giggled but was cautious as she did so. "OPEN!" Alice shouted a sound that would have startled a human.

Bella did as she was told, starting from the feet upwards. Her eyes widened with what looked like happiness until she saw her eyes. She stayed calm yet she seemed to be fixated on her red eyes.

"They'll fade golden after a couple of months of animal feeding love. It's ok. I guess you haven't met any newborns yet. I'll explain after we've hunted, baby you've got to be thirsty." I was feeling that familiar burn in my throat it had been a while scince I'd hunted and the human blood only makes you want more.

"Let's go Edward." Bella murmured tearing her eyes away from the mirror focusing them on me, looking a little shaken. She walked towards me visibly upset.

"Calm down baby. Hey?" I encircled her in my arms kissing her forehead and smiling down at her in the way she loves. "Come on then Bella. We better get going."

"Ok. Thanks' for cheering me up dear." She smiled at me, and she was so beautiful, if my throat wasn't burning with anticipation, she'd be on the floor clothes off. With that we were off.
