Edward's POV

I ran to Bella's. What had Jake wanted to tell her? I was too far away still and couldn't hear their conversation or whatever trivial thoughts that mongrel had running through his mind. As I neared the edge of the wood, I heard Bella's pulse rushing wildly and Jacob's mind going wild; "I've waited so long for this. I know this is what she wants… it feels so right… She should be mine…" I raced ahead, stopping just outside her front yard. That moronic dog had my Bella in a vice-like grip and was kissing her forcefully.

"Bella?" I whispered, emerging from the shadows.

She turned to me, quickly, her mouth wide open. Jacob still held her in a firm embrace. "Edward, I-"

"And the fun begins." Jacob though sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

I held up my hand to her and paused. I knew I should kill him. Tear him to shreds with my bare hands and scatter the pieces. But that would hurt Bella, something I could never do. My face contorted on its own accord as I tried to control my urges. How dare he?!

I stalked towards them, my dead blood felt as if it was boiling in my veins. When I was mere inches from them, Bella squirmed out from Jacob's arms and he and faced me full on, a cocky smile on his lips. "Hey, bloodsucker."

"Just tell me what's going on."

"Bella and I were just talking. You left her and I want her back."

"That was a long time ago, Black."

Images of Bella sobbing and lamenting our past parting flashed in my mind. "Tell her that. I can give her everything that you can and more. Besides, I think she liked kissing me."

I tensed up. "Shut up, Black."

He continued. "With me she wouldn't have to become a dirt bloodsucker and all of there random vampires wouldn't be trying to off her all the time."

"That is none of your concern. And what are you talking about? We finished with the Volturi." Then Jacob showed me a red haired vampire girl. She bore a strange resemblance to Victoria, who had been dead for many months. I saw the wolves chase her through the forest and past the mountains until she was too far for them to keep up. "Who is she?"

"Rachael. Her elder sister is Victoria. And guess what? She's after revenge just like Victoria before her. She wants to kill Bella. But if you just leave I can keep her safe."

This new girl, Rachael was after Bella? When would this end? For a split second I thought about leaving Bella in Jacob's care and going after Rachael myself but decided it would be too risky. Apparently Jacob and Bella alone was a bad match.

"God, this guy is so stupid. He's always putting her in danger and whatever. Like, he needs to get a grip and let her go already. Man, what a kiss I-"

"Bella." I said, a little too harshly. "Get in the car."

She took a few tentative steps in my direction. "Edward, please li-"

"Car, Bella, please." I demanded again, my eyes still on the dog. Wordlessly she complied and I hear the door open and close.

"Bella! You don't have to listen to him!" Jacob yelled to her. "Wow, he;s got her on a pretty short leash."

"Now, you listen, mutt." I felt my anger building up. How dare he intrude. "You stay away from Bella. Do you hear me?"

"And what would you do about it?" His smug attitude was in full force. "I can take him. No problem."

I said the first thing that came to mind. "There are many more vampires than wolves. And I'm not just talking about my family. If we feel as if the wolves are overstepping our boundaries, I wouldn't be hesitant to call the others."

He had mental images of the last vampires he and his tribe fought with and the damages it caused for many of the wolves. "I'll call your bluff, bloodsucker." He turned from me and started back towards the edge of the woods. "You'll see… only my tribe can keep her safe and sooner or later she'll realize what's good for her."

Instead of following him and beating that conceited look off his face like I honestly wanted, I went back to the car. I saw that Bella had gotten into the passenger seat so I went to the drivers. As soon as I was in she began to babble through tears that I hadn't heard before.

"Edward, please I can explain, nothing-"

"Bella, love." I reached over and stroked along her jawbone. "You don't have to explain anything."

She didn't listen and kept on talking. "He kissed me and I couldn't get him off. You know how strong he is."

"Shh, love, I understand." I gave her a small smile. "It was his doing." Silently, I reached over the center console and took her hand as I backed out of the driveway. I felt her relax and her rapid breathing slow down when I did this. Even though I knew that she didn't want the kiss or provoke it, it still shook me. I knew they had a past, thought limited as it was. And it was true, Jacob could provide Bella with protection and a normal life… not one confined to darkness and secrets.

And now about that Rachael. If she was half the hunter Victoria was I knew that Bella was in true danger. Over the past few years she has almost been killed so many times I can barely keep track. It was terrible that she had to go through this just because of what I am. If I were a normal man, none of this would ever happen.

"Edward?" Bella whispered.

"Yes, love?" I asked softly, glancing in her direction.

"You missed the turn for your house."

"I know."

A look of confusion crossed her face. "But where are we going?"

I sighed and turned back to the road. "The airport.

Bella's POV

"The airport." He told me, not taking his eyes off the road.

I looked at him dumbly for a moment. "The airport? What? Why? We can't go to the airport… where are we going? Edward answer me!"

"We're just going to take a little vacation."

"Vacation? But I didn't pack and I don't have a passport or my wallet." I protested.

"We can buy whatever you need there and you know perfectly well you have no need for a wallet. I have bank accounts in almost every country. And as for your passport… open the glove box."

I pulled it open and shifted though the registration cards and first aid kit. Then I found a small, blue booklet. It was a passport… my passport to be precise. "How did you get this? It's been in in Charlie's safety deposit box."

"That's just an extra I had made. I like keeping papers like there around just incase." He said, nonchalantly. "So where would you like to go?"

"Edward… why do we have to go anywhere?"

"We need to get you away from Rachael. I'm hoping we left soon enough that she didn't get your scent."

My blood ran cold. I had nearly forgotten about the new vampire out to kill me. "But… wouldn't Alice have seen her if she was real?"

He shook his head. "No. She came to the reservation and you know that Alice can't see there."

"But can't we just stay?" I asked. "I mean, what about Charlie? We can't just leave."

"When you're in danger we can… We'll call Charlie later. For now, just don worry about a thing, alright love?"

I released his hand and crossed my arms. I hated having to run. We fought the other vampires so why not this one too? I knew that arguing with Edward wouldn't help me any so I just had to go along with him. "Can you at least tell me where we're going?"

He pulled his phone from his pocket and started typing, not even watching the road. "Well… we could go to Paris at 4:30AM, London at 4:45AM, New York at 5:00AM, or China at 5:15 AM… Which would you like most?"

"Um… I don't know… you choose." I told him stubbornly. It was his 'vacation', he should decide.

"Well I think that Paris would be a good choice, also it's always so lovely this time of year… London with its overcast clouds may be better though… No, we'll go to Paris." He sounded quite pleased with his decision and I decided to keep silent and not burst his bubble.

This night had all been so strange… I didn't even want to start thinking about that whole incident with Emmet! But the one with Jake was almost just as strange. First he tells me that Victoria's sister is out to kill me, then kisses me! Now Edward and I were on our way to Paris… this was all too much. I lay my head on the window and watched as we approached the airport.

As soon as we were parked, Edward led me inside to one of the booths, hoping we could buy a ticket. The woman at the desk looked tired but perked up instantly when Edward leaned forward to speak with her.

"Oh… h-hello, sir, how may I assist you?" She stammered, obviously dazzled.

"Well, Janice," Edward began after glancing at her name tag, "I would love two tickets to Paris on the next flight. First class would be best."

At the mention of 'two' tickets, Janice's eyes shifted to me and gave me a look I had grown used to. It was the 'how in the world are you with him?!' look. "Well… Let me see here." She tapped away at her keyboard. "We do have some first class seats still available on the 4:30 flight."

Edward pulled out his wallet and slipped his black Amex card on the counter. "I'll take two then."

She looked at the black Amex card and back at me as if to say, 'A good looking, rich guy is taking you to France?!' "Okay… and when will you be returning?"

"I actually don't have a return trip in mind yet."

"Oh, okay…" She swiped the card ad printed out our passes. "Then in that case, have a safe flight."

Edward flashed her a perfectly white smile and took the passes from her outstretched hand. "Thank you, Janice."

As we walked away I asked, "did you see the way that girl was gawking?"

"No, what do you mean?" He steered my towards a line of small shops and cafes.

"Never mind." I sighed. Edward would never understand what it was like on my end. Every girl was simply awestruck by him and weren't too pleased seeing med on his arm. I hoped that after the wedding, when I was changed, maybe we'd look a little more equal.

"We need to pick up some things for the human." Edward told me as he grabbed some fashion magazines off the rack. "We have a long flight."

"I guess…" I began meandering about the store, picking up a pre-wrapped sandwich and some bottles of water. When I reached the counter to meet up with Edward I saw that he had a rather large stacks of magazines.

When I gave him a questioning look he shrugged. "I wasn't sure what you would like so I got one of everything… 'Glamour', 'Vogue', 'Brides today', 'Cat Fancy', 'Wo-"

"'Cat Fancy?'"

"Was that a bad choice?"

I laughed and put it back on the shelf. "I hate cats."

The man at the register gave us a strange look as he rung us up. We ended up getting almost twenty magazines and spending close to $50.00.

After going through a few security checks we were finally allowed to board the place. We found out seats and my tired body sunk into the plush first class seats. Soon, we were on our way to France. I knew that this was every girl's dream; being swept away to Paris by a handsome man… but most girls aren't being hunted by a murderous vampire out to kill them. But for the moment, I was safe. I leaned my head on Edward's shoulder and tried to fall asleep. There was no way Rachael would ever be able to find me now.

oh, poor bella thinks shes safe =( review for more =)
