I couldn't help but feel nervous on the drive to Paula's house. Jasper was sitting awkwardly in the passanger seat, twisted round, talking to Edward about things I wasn't following. I was gazing out the window, twisting my hands in my lap. I was nervous. It must of been obvious because I suddenly felt a cold breeze against the left side of my face, "Don't worry, we aren't kidnapping you," Edward chuckled. I let out a nervous laugh and turned back to the window.

Edward nodded inwardly to himself and leaned forward to tap Emmett on the shoulder.

"How far till Paula's house?" He asked calmly. His vouce amazed me, it didn't sound like it could belong to a human.

"Not far, Jazz, is it just down here?"

"Yep, the big dark house there," Jasper replied and pointed at a house nestled in the corner of the road, deeply shaded by the tall billowing oaks, atleast I thought it was oaks.

Paula was standing, edged on the side of the pavement, she smiled slightly when she saw the car getting closer and waved sheepishly.

I exhaled loudly with relief, being the only girl in the car was having it's tole on me.

Hours past and it was three am, I couldn't how long we'd stayed at the lake. Jasper decided to play cool and throw Paula in the water, she wasn't that bothered, though her teeth were chattering like mad. Jasper felt guilty and jumped in to fetch her. It was quite sweet to watch.

I was in my own world, watching them sitting in the cold shallow water just chatting, I could see the energy between them.

"Getting any ideas?" Edward asked quietely, raising an eyebrow, I turned to face him, his face was illuminated by the moonlight. It was...No, he was stunning.

I let out a shaky laugh, "No, they're just cute."

"I think my brother has found himself someone."

I just nodded and we resumed to sit in the silence. Emmett was engrossed in a book, holding it high up abouve his head to catch the word in the moonlight.

Suddenly a freezing force grabbed me round the waist and moments later I felt the icy water gushing aroung my body, then being pulled to the surface by and even colder current. I gasped for air and turned round to see Edward beside me, stil clutching to my waist. He was just as soaked as me and my eyes narrowed when I realised it was him who threw us into the water.

Emmett was lying on the grass in hysterics, rolling over and chuckling, "Why'da go bro!!" He cackled between breaths.

Then that's when it dawned on how cold I really was.

Edward pulled me slightly closer, just to save me from falling under the water current, I guessed. He looked over my shoulder and smirked. "Let's go one further then them." He said quietely.

I tilted my head to see Paula and Jasper now sitting on the edge of the water, still talking but holding hands now.

One further?

My heart and head began to spin.

Suddenly I felt a cold hand on my face and it turned me round to face Edward again, then my lips were met by an even colder sensation.

5:30 am and we were all drving back in the car, Edward had thought ahead and gave me and Paula a blanket each. When I questioned his temperature he merely said he had a strong immune system and never caught colds.

I snickered.

Didn't flus or hypothermia count?

All of a sudden, the car screached to a halt. I let out a pained scream as I felt something penetrate my side and sent agonised shots up my back.

Edward looked at me wearily, then his eyes drifted past me to what was outside my window.

"What is it!?" Paula panicked, Jasper leaned back and stroked her cheek comfortingly, but it wasn't helping.

Edward never blinked and I looked up to him, his face was frozen, I turned my head to follow his gaze, ignoring the pain still shooting through my back and side. The Edward's jaw unlocked and he answered Paula in a quiet yet still agressive tone.

"James."
