(Written from Laurent's POV)
Bella and Edward were in the hot tub outside right in my line of vision. Isabella Swan successfully escaped the clutches of James, a coven member, and eluded Victoria for so long. I suppressed a laugh. She wouldn't get away from me. Never. She would be killed by my own two hands along with her lover Edward Cullen.
"Edward!"
Bella screamed when he splashed her, nearly covering her with a wall of water. She was laughing and splashing him back. I found myself drawn to her, fascinated by the way she moved. I shook my head dispelling those thoughts, continuing my stake out of their schedule, looking for any holes that I might snake through; so far none. The Cullen's house was always watched by the family, and their talents made it extra hard for me to find a way in.
"I love you, Bella,"
Edward cooed, drawing my attention back to the tub. She smiled and reached up to kiss him. I felt a surge of irrational jealousy and hatred towards Edward. What did he have that I didn't? I stormed off, leaving no evidence of my passage.
"Bella Swan, you will be mine."
I vowed then broke into a run, trying to escape before my presence was noticed.

Edward and I soaked in the tub for hours, or at least until the water got cold. It was wonderfully romantic, but the whole time I felt I was being watched. I found myself staring into the woods, searching but finding nothing. I was too riled up to relax when Edward guided me to his room.
"Edward,"
I started as I dried my hair with the white towel he handed me. He smiled leaning down to brush his lips against my throat,
"Yes, love?"
He murmured, his breath whispering across my face. He was staring right at me, dazzling me with his dark eyes. I shook my head then inhaled the sweet scent rolling off of him to clear my head.
"I think Laurent is watching me. In the hot tub I kept getting weird vibes the whole time."
The playful smile vanished as I spoke, his heavenly face twisting into a mask of rage. I knew I had to tell him, but sometimes I was afraid of his reactions,
"The whole time?"
He demanded taking a hold of my arms, staring at me with wild, concerned eyes. I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out so I nodded instead. He released me then paced the length of the room, mumbling so fast I couldn't hear it even with my senses so enhanced. I sat on the couch, staring at the carpet beneath my feet. I felt so helpless, weak. Like a trap. I being here was going to hurt Edward's family. I didn't know how many vampires Laurent had against me, what if Edward was planning to fight him? NO! I couldn't have that.
"Bella?"
Edward was kneeling in front of my, his hands on mine, his eyes soft and loving. I smiled weakly as I squeezed his hand; I would have to leave and lure Laurent away.
"Yes, Edward?"
I heard myself say normally. It felt like I was watching the whole thing from outside my body, like I was watching a movie about me. His expression was caring, loving, and it was all for me.
"I'll keep you safe. No matter what."
I flinched at his words, hearing the double meaning. If he died then I wouldn't have a reason to live anymore.
"I know. But, Edward, please don't do anything stupid. Please."
I pleaded wrapping my arms around his neck, pulling myself as close as I could get. Something was going to happen tonight. Something I feared. I was going to have to leave to save my Edward again. To save my love.
