Hey Guys!Again, I'm so sorry for the wait!

Thank you for your patience…and I am so happy to say that I passed all of my exams! :D

Thank you for all of your words of encouragement as well.

Now hopefully all of you remember the drill…

READ. REVIEW. ENJOY.

I looked at Edward. He was sitting in his usual chair in my little kitchen. His eyes were glazed; glazed with impatience to know what and how everyone happened. I smiled. His eagerness was somehow hypocritical to me, but I would let it slide. I couldn't even hold back my excitement. This small step in their world, but a huge one in mine, made me feel so much more a part of them. I felt like I belonged to that family in yet another way.

"Oh Edward, it was so exhilarating! The feeling was incredible! It wasn't even really me. I mean…well it was technically me or…uhh…you…but anyway…it was amazing! I never thought it would be that….easy! I just looked at that….deer…and it was instant! Everything just happened all at once!"

Edward laughed his laugh that sounded like wind chimes. Now if only I could laugh like that in my voice…

"Indeed Edward," Carlisle interjected. "She was a little nervous on the way up, and I don't blame her…this is a different way to eat her meat…" he smiled.

I laughed. The feeling was unbelievable. I felt giddy. I was closer to Edward and his everyday activities than I ever could have been without actually being a vampire. However, thinking back on the event, seeing the deer in my head, disturbed me a little…how could I? Carlisle's words rang once more in my ears.

"This is a different way to eat her meat…"

Oddly, this statement made me feel better…after all; it was only a different way to eat meat than the one I had grown accustomed to. I smiled to myself…I did it!

Alice and Rosalie walked in through the door before I had another thought to myself. Now instead of hearing only Carlisle's thought, I was hearing all of theirs. I groaned inwardly. Edward seemed to understand and gestured towards the chair next to him.

I walked over to him hearing their thoughts that I was sure were about to come words in a few seconds.

Alice thought, I have to admit, I didn't know she could pull it off this well! That was great for the 1st time! Edward will be so pleased…maybe. She laughed in her head. And anyway, I did win the bet with Emmet.

Rosalie's thoughts were different of course…

Not bad for a human girl…

I smiled. I knew that was all I was going to get from Rosalie. But today, I didn't even care. I couldn't wait! Edward and I had a whole night to ourselves to look forward to. He gave me a look as to tell me he was thinking the same thing.

As I predicted, Alice's thoughts become words.

"Edward! It was amazing! She was amazing. I mean, I knew she was going to pass with flying colors, but viewing it in real life was just beyond! I knew our little Bella could pull it off!" She finished as she pinched my cheek.

Edward, still smiling, gave Alice a look, "now Alice, are you happy because of Bella's accomplishment, or because of the bet you won with Emmett?"

Her little face turned angry. "Edward Anthony Mason Cullen! How dare you insult me like that! Bella is my sister! Of course I'm proud of her!" She took a deep breath to calm herself and, to my surprise, she smiled. "Winning $500 from Emmett has nothing to do with my jubilance."

Edward laughed, along with the rest of us.

"Well," Carlisle began, "we will be going. Bella probably has a lot to tell Edward, and presumably speaking, Edward may have a lot of questions…" he smiled. "Again, congratulations Bella. That truly was incredible. I look forward to doing it again with you in your own body." He chuckled.

"Thank you Carlisle. Honestly, without you, I wouldn't have been able to pull it off. You were these for me today. Thank You."

"Yes Carlisle," Edward interjected, "Thank you for being there, with Bella, when I couldn't."

The smile on his face quickly faltered, thinking of his words, but in the blink of an eye, was back to normal.

"Anytime," Carlisle smiled.

"Bye you two!" Alice yelled. And with that, the door shut, and Edward and I were alone. It felt like it had been an eternity. With all of this craziness, Edward and I barely had time to just ourselves.

"I've missed you." Edward said, looking straight into my eyes. Even now, I think I felt the tiniest of heart beats. Dead or alive, Edward moved me.

"I missed you too, Edward." I said, returning with a smile. Neither of us broke the gaze; each of us wanting this moment to last forever. What an interesting word…'forever.' No one really had a "forever per say…but I would. I would have it, and I would have a forever, with the only thing that made me whole. Being alone with Edward made me appreciate that fact so much more than I did on an everyday basis.

Edward broke the trance between us first; apparently he was eager for details. "So apparently, you did it, just like I said you would." Edward smiled and angelic smile.

"Yes, well…I tried. But next time, I want you there by my side. I mean…not that I am not grateful for what Carlisle did for me today, but I just want….you there. It just makes it…I don't know…more special."

I looked down; embarrassed of my words.

"I know Bella. I know. You have no idea the amount of will power I had to use today to keep me from driving up there. It was driving me crazy! How could I not be there on the first hunt you ever had?!"

"Edward, believe me, I wanted you there too. However, you and I both know that that wouldn't have been the safest for you. I don't know what would have happened. I was totally out of my own control. It felt like I was in…your control. Of course, I know I wasn't, but the thought of that helped calm me. It felt like someone was guiding me."

Edward smiled and grabbed my hand, "And next time, I promise that I will be there, no matter what the consequences are."

"You better. Promise Me. Do you swear on my life?"

"Never Bella; nothing on this world, or any other world for that matter, is important enough to make me swear on your life. Your life is infinitely important to me."

I smiled. Everything about him made me feel weak in the knees.

"Don't worry then; next time I will be going hunting, you and I will both be vampires." I told him.

He smiled, then leaned across the table so that his, now warm, lips touched mine. He kissed e gently, and then walked across the table to take my hand and lead me towards the couch. We both sat down, when it started to rain and all of the light in the sky seemed to dim. The sound of the rain soothed me. I suddenly remembered my previous phone call with Edward, and turned to look at him with inquisitive eyes.

He chucked. "Yes my love?"

"Earlier today, you were eating cereal…what on earth compelled you to eat cereal?!"

He laughed again. "I told you Bella, I started to get hungry. The feeling was a little strange at first, I have to admit. I almost forgot the feeling. It's been over 100 years since I have experienced that form of hunger." He smiled. "So I looked around and found cereal. It was a little repulsive for me to swallow at first, but then your taste buds kicked in, and you and I both seemed to like it."

I laughed. "Edward, you never cease to amaze me."

He brushed his fingers across my cheek. "I could say the same thing."

If I were human at this moment, I was almost sure that I would be in a hospital due to my fainting. Today's events, and of course, Edward, were enough to do me in. But as of now, I just felt…safe.

"So Edward, tell me what else you did today."

He brought his fingers down from my cheek and down to my hand, where he intertwined his fingers in mine. "Well, besides restraining myself from running to you, and eating cereal, basically nothing."

I giggled. "You did nothing? You did nothing all day?"

"Well not exactly, I was thinking."

"Oh please stop with the details Edward! My head is reeling!" I said sarcastically, with a smile on my face.

His face was serious though, as he turned to gaze out the window.

"Bella, when you were gone this whole day, I was…anxious. It was extremely difficult to stay here, away from you. My thoughts never wandered to anything but you, and I found myself counting the seconds until you came back. It was painful…letting you go for so long. It is almost exactly what I feel when you and I are separated when I am in my own body. Except, this time, there was the faintest feeling of doubt and fear. I wish you could have felt it."

I turned to look at him. "Edward, I do feel that. I feel that every single time that I am not with you. What you just explained, is what I feel when I am in my own body. And today, I felt the same feeling, except that it was slightly different. However, it was the same strength; the same power."

"I guess we both feel the same when we are separated…" I smiled. "Maybe it's a good thing that we both know that now.

I gently squeezed my hand that he was holding, and we both laughed.

"What an interesting day it has been…" Edward said, still chuckling.

"I agree, completely."

I pecked Edward on the cheek.

"But hunting was just….." I cut off. My ears were on alert.

"Hunting was…what Bella? Is something wrong?"

"Uhmm…I don't know exactly …I think I heard a tap. It was a tap on the door, or on a window."

Edward got up, and started towards the door, as I followed. However, neither of us could hear anything. It was completely dark outside due to the rain; therefore, looking out the window was not an option.

Just as we were about to sit down again, there was a crash, and glass breaking coming from my room upstairs.

"Edward!" I whisper-shrieked.

"I know Bella," Edward whispered, I could see his mind working, "I could hear that even without my super-sonic hearing…"

Woo! Cliffy! Lol

Oh come on! What's life without a little excitement??! Lol

Now…you've had enough time to review the ruled of the everyday drill…
