Hi everyone, I'm so incredibly sorry for the long long wait! My computer totally crashed and we had to get a whole new one, but this is a fresh start and I now will be able to update hopefully regularly, but I hope you really enjoy this chapter, I've been thinking it over for weeks. I must stress that I am not pushing any religious beliefs on anyone and I am not suggesting the one used in this story is the "only and right one". I was also wondering what you all think about me changing the title of this story to what I originally wanted to name it but couldn't because of complication please review and tell me

"Would you go get them for me?" I asked Edward, nervously playing with my hands.

Edward watched me carefully, but seemed to decide not to question me about my weird behavior. He stood and put his hands in the pockets of his black slacks and his brow furrowed;

"I'll be right back; Alice should be able to find you a pair in seconds." He said, making his way to door.

I nodded and watched as he opened my door; which answered with a quick squeak, and watched as Edward left. He gently closed the door behind him and I listened to the slight pitter patter of his feet on the old wooden staircase. Charlie must have still been asleep since Edward was as carefree as to use the staircase and the front door. I found this strange; usually Charlie was already up, gently asking me to make him breakfast.

I wiped the back of my already clammy hand across my forehead which was beaded with sweat. I was a terrible liar, I knew my black flats were in the back of my closet; but I had needed some way to get Edward out of the house. It was already apparent I would need to hide the book a lot better, or Edward would end up finding it very soon.

I kneeled next to my bed and pushed the mattress up with one hand while grabbing the book with another. I stood back up and turned to sit on the bed with one of my legs underneath me. My sundress billowed out like a large umbrella around me. I looked to the cover of the book and gently stroked the worn leather cover. The simple brown book was a mystery to me, but I was determined to use it.

I gingerly opened the cover and flipped through the yellowed pages to the second chapter, I figured I wouldn't get another good chance to read anymore of the book until tonight, which was entirely too long for my taste. Every time I was away from this book I was either thinking about reading it, or thinking about how the information contained in it seemed to change my entire confidence about being sexual with Edward. I was still a nervous wreck when I carried out the tips, but at least I found myself doing them in the end.

I smoothed out the weathered page with my right hand set the book in my lap, instantly gluing my eyes to the page.

Step Two: Their Wildest Fantasy!

Ok, so what; chapter one didn't work. No biggie!

Your vampire friend will absolutely melt when you're done with chapter two!

Now as we all know those good vampires out there are always dreading the fact that they aren't human anymore; but with this chapter you'll learn how to make them feel human, and more.

First you need to find a way for them to feel human, that means all those physical appearances that are definitely not human. Let's start with the hard, cold skin. We suggest a nice warm place, like a sauna or other recreational areas such as that. The mixture of heat and moisture in the air with make their skin warm up and make them seem flushed.

We also suggest that your friend be full; as in not hungered at all. This way their eyes are a nice warm color, also your friend won't be concentrated on restraining themselves against you!

The way to completely figure out this chapter is to ask your friend their most liked things. Ask what they would do if human again, or questions of that nature. Surround them with things they highly enjoy, but still try and create a sexy air to it all. Wear clothes that are revealing, but don't put out too much of an urge.

Now that you have a general idea of what to do; put your knowledge to work. Go get 'em!

Hot Tips:

1. When you are with your friend in the warm place, try to keep very close to them. This will further the feeling of being warm and flushed.

2. Again, lighting may change everything. Candles or dimly lite rooms are best for the mood you may be trying to achieve. This makes your friend work to see you; which in their nature is a challenge, and challenges excite vampires by nature.

Afterwards: If this chapter also does not work, please don't be discouraged. Just move on the Step Three: The Chase!

I raised my head from my intense read and took a deep breath. This would be quite a challenge. With my head spinning I closed the book and held it tightly to my chest, trying to keep myself from hyperventilating. This chapter scared me even more so then the last one, and the last one suggested I practically be naked! I never brought up the subject of Edward's past life as a human, I knew he missed it and would trade anything to be human again; and he often became angry at himself.

Whenever he was thinking about being human; Edward would become closed it and agitated. He would lash out at anyone and everything, but certainly apologize for it instantly. I often became deeply sorrowed when Edward became this way. I knew I was a constant reminder everyday of what he wanted to be, but could never be.

I absentmindedly pulled my right leg out from under myself and lowered it to the floor and stood. My eyes swept my small room and I began to worry where I could hide this book. Part of me wondered if he already knew I had it. He had mentioned something seemed off about my bedding and when I was telling him my lies he had looked at me strangely. I made a half circle to face my nightstand and took a step forward. From beneath my feet came a faint squeak and I instantly knew where to hide the book.

A while ago Edward had left me for a long period of time, but not before he had hidden all the things he had given me that would have reminded me of him. Not until later on did I learn that Edward had not really taken these things; but merely hid them under a loose board in my bedroom flooring. I had neglected to ask Charlie to fix the loose board and it has since remained unrepaired.

I knelt again to the wooden floor, putting the leather book aside and began to pull on one end of the loose board. I wasn't very strong, but after a little pleading and one tremendous jerk the board came loose. I quickly slipped the smooth leather book into the small space in the floor and covered the hole again.

I once more stood and used my heel to push the board back in place, securing it slightly. I worried that Edward or I may step on the board wrong and it may pop up, but before I had any longer to worry about it Edward was suddenly at my side.

I jerked my head back up to face him for I had been staring at the floor. I ran my once again clammy hand through my hair and smiled at him. I took a slow step to my right so I stood on top of the loose board, hoping that Edward didn't notice it was the one I had been studying. I looked at his side and found he had a small white plastic bag held in one hand, telling me that he been successful when he visited Alice.

Alice was an avid shopper, and her taste was much different than mine. When he chose plunging necklines, I chose oversized hoodies. I often found Alice trying to replace my wardrobe; I would find a new shirt or a new bra stashed in my closet at least three times a week.

Edward smiled at me with my favorite crooked smile of his and put an arm around my waist, pulling me into him.

"Alice found a great pair, I made sure they weren't overbearing for you." He said into my ear, making me giggle when his cool breath tickled my skin.

Edward chuckled and pulled back, placing the plastic bag on my bed and pulling out a small white box. It was very ironic that Alice and I wore the same size shoe, and pant size, and shirt size. I basically couldn't get out of wearing anything of hers that she forced on me.

I smiled at Edward warmly and took the box from his outstretched hands. I took the small black flats from the box and gently let them drop to the floor where I slipped them on. Just as Edward had assured me, they were simple yet simply striking. There was a small tight bow on the top of each shoe, I flexed my feet up towards my face and lifted my head to smile at Edward.

"Perfect fit."

Edward smiled back at me and looked past me to my alarm clock.

"Oh, Bella; we need to leave now or we're going to be late." He said, grabbing my black sweater from the hook on my wall and gently shuffling me out my bedroom door.

I looked to my alarm clock and I was surprised it was so late, Edward was right; we were running late for the first time I could remember. I hadn't thought to keep the time while Edward was gone since he was a very punctual person, but then again I had been totally engrossed by the stupid book.

As Edward and I passed Charlie's room I took yet another quick peek inside his room to find him still snoring. I gingerly followed Edward down the old staircase and out the front door after writing a quick note to Charlie explaining we were going to church, and that leftovers for breakfast were in the lower part of the refrigerator.

Outside the world smelled crisp and full of earthy smells. The small droplets of dew that covered the grass tickled my feet as I walked through my yard to the street were Edward's Volvo was parked.

I smiled at Edward when he opened the car door for me, always the gentleman.

After handing me my sweater Edward hurriedly crossed the car and got into the driver's side. Soon we were blazing down the street at ninety miles per hour. Edward considered that driving slow. Edward looked at me out of the corner of her eye and offered his empty hand to me. I graciously accepted, I loved the feel of Edward cool hand contrasted to my warm one.

Before I knew it we were already parked outside the small church of Forks. The parking lot was full and there were only a few people milling around outside, either smoking cigarettes or quickly walking to the double doors of the church.

The church in general was very small and was badly in need of repair. It was the only church in all of Forks so it was naturally very full by the time service started and was often neglected since the building was only used for the two services a week.

As I waited for Edward to round the car and open my door, he was always insisting to do this; I looked to the roof of the small wooden church. The shillings on the roof were coming loose, and in some places there would be patches of them missing.

When Edward opened my door I accepted his offered hand and stepped out into the fresh air. Edward always made me feel like a princess, even though I absolutely hated being treated special.

I linked arms with Edward and we slowly walked to the double doors of the church, saying the occasional hello and waving to couples of all ages that we recognized from our few weeks of visiting the church.

I watched Edward carefully; whenever we were out in a public area with many people he was always nervous. I knew of course he wouldn't harm anyone, yet he did not trust himself in the least bit. Edward walked very regally and his face was set in an expressionless face. He tried not to make contact with anyone, and if he was acknowledged he simply bobbed his head in the person's direction and mumbled a hello only I could hear.

When he made it to the set of double doors Edward took his arm from mine and held the door out for me in a very polite manner, I smiled to him and stepped inside the doorway to wait for him to enter.

Before Edward had a chance to step inside an elderly couple was close to the doorway. Being the perfect gentleman he was Edward remained where he was, doing his usually bobbing head movement to the elderly man who was walking behind his wife.

When the elderly woman had shuffled herself halfway through the door she turned to look at Edward and smiled.

"Thank you." She said in a small voice, placing her hand gently on Edward's but to quickly jerk it back.

Edward, who had watched her with a stunned look, looked up to the woman's face as her husband ushered her inside the building.

"Oh." She said, looking back to Edward and holding her hand to her face. I instantly knew that she had been surprised by the chilliness of Edward's skin and had jumped from the sudden cold temperature.

I looked to Edward's face; I could feel pain and worry clouding my own. I saw a flicker of pain run through Edward's eyes, but in seconds he face was set and he moved inside the building to take my hand.

As we walked down the crowded isle of pews side by side, I looked up to Edward's face; worry covering mine. Edward looked down at me and gave me a weak smile, but I knew whatever the old woman had been thinking, Edward had heard it and it had obviously upset him.

When we reached the fifth pew from the back of the room Edward stopped and stood aside so I could enter the row. We usually sat in this row so I wasn't surprised to find that no one else was sitting in it.

Edward followed me into the row and sat down promptly focusing his eyes to the front of the room. After brushing my dress under me I looked to Edward, usually he would have picked up a book of songs and gone through it. Edward was fascinated with the old songs of the faith and enjoyed memorizing them so he could play them later on. This morning Edward's eyes were set and he didn't look to me.

"Edward." I said barely over a whisper while touching his forearm with my fingertips.

He looked to me and was about to speak when a voice came from the other side of me.

"Good morning Bella." I heard a cheerful male voice say. I easily recognized it as Mike Newton.

I plastered on a weak smile and reluctantly turned from Edward to face Mike,

"Good morning Mike."

Mike was one of the boys who, even though you were involved with someone else; he always thought that you could change your mind in seconds and be with him. Granted the guy was nice, and was only a nuisance when he was following me around; I could never really stand to be around him for more than a few hours.

Today Mike was dressed in an identical outfit to Edward's, only his dress shirt was a pale blue instead of white. His bright blue eyes bore into mine as he spoke.

"So I was wondering Bella, you know the Spring Fling that's coming up next weekend? I was kinda hoping that maybe if you had nothing going on, you could perhaps go with me."

Before I even had time to respond to I felt Edward go rigid next to me and heard his sharp intake of breath.

"Mike, I ca-." Was all I could get out before Edward interrupted.

I watched in shock as Edward placed his hand rather high on my thigh, and he turned to face Mike.

I looked to Mike's face, registering the shock on his face when he saw where Edward's hand was placed. Through all this I was truly only focused on Edward's hand that was clamped high up on my thigh, I realized that it greatly excited me to have his hand there.

"No Mike, she is dating me and I believe that if she were to go to the dance it would be with me and only me. Now I believe the service is about to start and I suggest you return to sit with your parents."

I was shocked to hear Edward talk to sharply to Mike. I look to see an almost animal like sneer on Edward's face while he talked.

I looked back to Mike, his face was stretched and he was fumbling with turning around to find his way out of the pew.

"Edward, I don't think.." I began before Edward yet again interrupted me.

"Bella I can't handle this today, let's go."

He stood up very fast and was pulling me along while I stumbled and tried to reason with him. The piano music was just beginning when we reached the set of double doors.

At the doors Edward stopped and began to pace, I turned to look at everyone and was thankful that this part of the church was not viewable from where everyone else was. I turned to find Edward pinching the bridge of his nose and still pacing.

"Edward, please tell me what's wrong." I pleaded walking to him and putting my hands on his chest.

He released the bridge of his nose and looked me in the eyes, I saw anger and pain flash in them. I was thankful though to see compassion burning in them too.

"I can't be here today Bella, since that old woman reacted to my skin I've been pretending I wanted to be here so you could enjoy church today. But my temper got the best of me and I acted irrational. I simply cannot sit through a service today with a terrible attitude."

I thought back to when Edward had been holding the door for the elderly couple and the woman had reacted badly to his cold hand. I remember that I had seen pain in Edward's eyes, even though it had been for only a second. I knew this linked with his longing to be a human and the thought he had that he was a monster.

I put my hand to Edward's cheek and talked slowly to him, not taking my eyes from him golden ones.

"Let's go somewhere, just the two of us." I said, excitement in my low voice.

Edward took my hand from his cheek and put it to his lips, so that he could kiss my knuckles. From the joining room where the service was commencing, I heard loud talking and murmured agreements. I knew this wasn't where Edward wanted to be and I had been thinking of that ridiculous book since I had seen that Edward just wanted to escape. I thought I would put one of his biggest desires into effect, even just for one day.

"Where do you want to go love?" he asked gently.

"Let's stop at your house quickly; I need to borrow a few things from Alice first." I said, bringing my hands into Edward's and gently tugging him to the doors.

I watched his expression go from bleak to intrigue as a mischievous grin broke across his face while he let me drag him through the doors and to his car.

After Edward had already driven halfway down the block, he turned to me and smiled.

"So, where are you thinking about going?" he asked, a smile in his voice.

I looked up at him, what I was doing was completely on impulse and hormonal. I wouldn't give myself enough time to think about what I was doing. If I did I was sure I would back down, and I was not giving up that easily.

"You'll see." I said, giving him a sly wink and looking out of my door's window.

I knew Edward liked a good mystery, and I knew this one in particular would drive him crazy.

From Edward's direction I heard him chuckle to himself and I grinned at my slight reflect in the window.

I couldn't wait to make up the rest of this night.

I know this was a terribly long read, and was most likely boring; but I do hope you enjoyed it for this was mostly a filler chapter. The next few chapters should be rather good. I plan on finishing up the next chapter tomorrow and hopefully posting it then. Again with my references to religion in this chapter were not meant to suggest one religion is the best or anything of that relation. Also I am not suggesting what religion should be practiced, or basically anything in that nature. Please review and I hope you look forward to the next chapter
