A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter! It was so wonderful to read all your comments and ideas for the story. For those of you wondering; when I began writing this story I had not read 'New Moon' yet. But now I have and even though when I started this story out I was picturing it after 'Twilight' I've decided to set it after 'New Moon' now as I have a few ideas for later storylines.

Anyways… this chapter is dedicated to the beautiful ForeverBitten their idea for my story!

Bella POV

I woke up to find myself lying in Edward's arms. Opening my eyes I took notice of the interior of the cabin for the first time. It was fairly big for a cabin and in true Cullen style; very extravagant.

The cabin may not look much from the outside, but inside it looked like it was straight out of a lifestyle magazine.

It was divided into three separate rooms. There was the bedroom that Edward and I were in. We lay on a king size bed with a small nightstand at either side. The room was separated from the rest of the cabin by a transparent curtain around the small room. Outside of the curtain I could see the next room was a lounge/kitchen combination. In the corner I saw an upright piano against the wall of what I assumed was a bathroom on the other side.

I felt Edward's soft lips against my head and turned around to face him.

"Good morning sleepy-head. About time you woke up!" he teased.

"You know that I need my beauty sleep."

Edward got out of the bed and pulled me up with him. "C'mon, we have to get ready. You don't want to miss out on skiing today, do you?"

Oh crap! I was perfectly happy until Edward had to mention the horror of me attempting to ski. Did he really believe that I could when I was so clumsy? If I was lucky I would make it out with only a broken neck or fractured rib. But something inside me felt that it was more likely that I would be pushing up daisies instead.

I dragged myself over to the kitchen and began shovelling rice crispies down my throat.

Perhaps I could pretend to choke. Maybe if Edward thought that I was having trouble breathing he would make me sit out on the skiing.

Argh! It was hopeless, I'm such a bad actor that Edward would see right through my little ruse and then he would know how nervous I was about this whole skiing thing. So if I die today, Edward can have the delightful job of explaining it all to Charlie.

I think even with Edward being immortal Charlie would find a way to kill him for hurting me.

I stood frozen with fear outside the cabin. I looked around at the Cullens, all wearing their skiing outfits and looking as if they had walked straight out of a photo shoot. I glanced down at my own brightly coloured snow pants and thought about how ridiculous I must have looked compared to my gorgeous Edward.

My thoughts were interrupted when Emmett turned around and spoke to me. "Hey Bella, are you coming?"

To my embarrassment I realised that everyone had began walking and I was still standing in front of the cabin. Edward took my hand and led me towards the slope where we would be skiing.

After ten minutes of walking the Cullens stopped and I noticed that we had arrived at the top of a very steep hill. It was probably three-hundred metres long and definitely not something that I was going to ski down without breaking every bone in my body

I turned to face Edward; it was time to tell him the truth. There was no way that I could do this. He just had to understand that.

"Ummm, Edward…?" He faced me with his eyes full of concern at the tone of my voice.

"I can't do this," I told him. "You know how clumsy I am and there is just no way humanly possible that I can make it down that slope and live to tell the tale."

Edward's concern left his eyes immediately and he started to smile. In fact he was laughing at me, the poor, pathetic, scardey-cat, human who couldn't walk two feet without tripping over herself.

Seeing that I was upset by his reaction, Edward stopped laughing and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Did you really think that I hadn't thought about that? That I was going to let you ski down that hill and kill yourself." He kissed my forehead as he tightened his grip around me.

I was so confused by Edward's statement. "But if you're not going to let me ski then why did you take me on a skiing holiday with you?"

"Remember a minute ago when you said there was no way humanly possible for you to ski down that hill?"

I nodded in reply to his question. "Well…you forgot one thing, that I am no human. I have my own way of taking you skiing."

Edward then began to put on his skis while I stood watching, trying to make sense of what he just told me. I noticed that the other Cullens were already geared-up and had begun taking the slope and enormous speeds.

Edward glided over to me on his skis and took my hand.

"You ready?" he asked me.

"But I'm not wearing my skis!" I was so confused about how Edward thought I could go skiing without wearing any skis.

"Bella, when you're with me you don't need any skis." And before I could even begin to protest at his last sentence Edward had pulled me onto his back and was heading towards the slope.

Then I realised what Edward had planned. I wrapped my arms around Edward's neck as hard as I could. There was no way that I was going to be falling off his back while going down that slope.

"Ready?" Edward asked. I merely buried my head in his neck trying to brace myself for what was coming.

Edward took this as a yes and launched us both down the side of the slope. It was like nothing I had ever felt before. We were travelling so fast, but unlike when Edward was running, it felt as if I was gliding on air.

I was having so much fun that I lost all my fears and dared to look up. I could see that Edward and I were approaching Alice and Jasper fast. We over took them in a matter of seconds and I could hear Alice's cheering at us.

Edward then began to show off, swerving like a maniac in every direction. My hair began to fly everywhere and I found myself laughing. I never would've thought that skiing could be so much fun.

We reached the bottom of the slope all too soon for my liking. Edward pulled off his back and placed me on the ground in front of him. Edward was laughing just as much as I was. He wrapped his arms around me.

"Told you I wouldn't let anything bad happen to you." Edward looked into my eyes with a sly grin on his face, a look of triumph.

"You also never explained that I wasn't going to be actually skiing myself."

"That's where you're wrong,"

Uh-oh! My laughter faded instantly. He had to be joking again, right?

"I may have let you have it easy on then first round, but you are going to ski today Bella."

Once again I find myself standing at the top of the slope facing my death.

Edward and Alice have begun to argue. I could vaguely hear their yelling behind me.

"Listen to me Edward, Bella should not go down there alone."

"She's not going to be alone; I will be right beside her the whole time."

"Please listen Edward; this is not going to end well. You have to trust me."

I really didn't like hearing my best friend and my boyfriend fight. There had to be some way to distract myself. I looked down at my skis and decided that I might as well start putting them on. I slid my right foot into the first ski with ease.

Perhaps this wasn't going to be as hard as I thought it would be. I tired to put my left foot in the ski, but it wasn't so easy. I kept on slipping around everywhere. Before anyone could notice I felt the ground beneath me begin to move.

I was sliding down the slope too fast to stop myself. I tried to call for Edward to help me, but I couldn't make a sound.

The world around me kept moving faster and faster. I couldn't bear to watch anymore. I closed my eyes and prayed that Edward would come to save me.

My skis hit something on the ground and I fell into the snow. I was tumbling down the hill, my limbs going in every direction. Then I stopped.

I wasn't sure if I'd reached the bottom of the slope or if I'd hit something, but the world around me had stopped and everything went black.

A/N: Ooooh, wouldn't we like to know what happens next. Please review the chapter because I am still very new to this and your comments help out a lot with my writing.

I know I took ages to update, but after this week I will be on summer holidays (I live in Australia, for all you people out there scratching your heads! Lol) and will have no more excuses for not updating!
