Chris was starting to get worried, the silence was worse than the yelling he was originally expecting. The piercing eyes that were boring their ways through his body hurt than a hundred vampires could. He had imagined a fight. He could easily take on one, maybe two vampires thanks to his power, but a werewolf, was another thing. He wondered if his powers would have the same effect on him, as it did every other vampire. The silence was eerie, and anyone who thought about breaking it, would get a stern look from Edward.

"How dare you!" a loud angry voice broke in from the top of the stairs. This startled everyone as the brunette came storming down the steps. Humans never really scared him, but the look in her eyes made him cringe and cower in the couch. She stood in front of him and growled, raising her hand and slapping Chris across the face. It didn't hurt him but he still recoiled from the hit. Edward had a worried look as he quickly began to look over her hand and Emmet and Seth were laughing at the scene. Chris looked around and sighed, slightly happy Alice wasn't there. He leaned his head back and closed his eyes, ready for the verbal onslaught he was sure to get.

"They won't hurt you." A high pitched voice said right next to his ear, causing him to jump once again. He opened his eyes and right above his face was Alice, her happy looks erased as fury was rippling through her. "I may, but they won't." She said again as she turned and sat near him on the couch. He didn't like how her evil grin never left her mouth and he looked around for some help, knowing full well he wasn't going to get any.

"Bella dear, you know how annoyed I get with not being able to read you, so could you please explain what happened." Edward said as he snaked an arm around her. She smiled at him and Alice shot her a quick look that seemed to go unnoticed by everyone but Chris.

"He kissed her and he is still leaving." Bella said, and everyone knew there was more, but also knew they weren't going to get the whole story.

"What are we all in High school again?" Seth said as his barking laugh rumbled through Chris's chest again and everyone joined in the laughter.

"You still are in high school Seth." Bella said accusingly and it only increased the laughing. Chris wasn't sure what was going on but knew that things were extremely strange in this house. Chris sighed and knew it was time his façade was over.

"Look, I can't explain enough why I must go, but I think I know someone who will understand me." Chris said to everyone, who quieted down when they heard his voice. Edward, I need you to do me a favor. I need you to take off your shirt and kiss Bella until I say so. He thought, knowing Edward would be the only one to hear. He had a worried look on his face, but his curiosity overtook him. He pulled Bella back a little and removed his shirt. Bella's eyes widened as his lips lightly touched her own. Chris could see the resistance Edward was fighting as he stood up and took off his glove. Alice gave him a quick worried look before he returned a reassuring smile. Chris walked up and stood behind Edward. Get ready. He thought before placing his hand on Edwards's bare back.

The shock in Edward's eyes was the first sign that it was working. Soon his ivory body started to fill with color and warmth filled the spot where Chris's hand was. It didn't take long for Edward to realize what was going on. A tear dropped down his face as his kiss became deeper and more passionate. It was Bella's turn to be surprised and she almost pulled away. Passion was too strong for her as she pressed him against the wall; a smile creeping onto her lips as her leg quickly came up around his hip. Chris's hand became pinned against the wall, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Get a room you two." Alice's voice pulled them apart as Chris removed his hand and Edward's color faded. The tear had reached his chin and Bella wiped it off, sighing when she realized he was once again cold. Edward was now looking at Chris in a new light, as the rest of the family had arrived to see the power and their jaws dropped.

"Now you see why I can't be here. When I touch Alice, she becomes human, and as human I could hurt her. If she dies when she is a human, I cannot bring her back. She will be dead." Chris said as he walked over to Alice and rubbed his now gloved hand down her cheek with a smile. "I wish things could have been better, I truly do love being in your company." He said as he let his hand fall to the ground before turning around and walking towards the door. She lowered her head and Bella sat next to her.

"Wait Chris, I want to talk to you." Edward said as he opened the door for him. Chris nodded and followed him out the door and down the walk way, out of ear shots range. He sighed, and Chris joined him as well. "I do know what you think you are doing by leaving. But take it from me, you will not like living like this." Chris lowered his head and shook his head.

"I know but I cannot let something bad happen, and in my case, staying away is the only way for it to work." Edward smiled as Chris said his defense and slowly started walking away.

"You know, Alice isn't the only one that is going to miss you." Edward said with a smile on his face. "Thank you for giving me and Bella our true first kiss, it means so much to me." He said as he turned back towards the house, leaving Chris at the road to walk down and think. He got a mile down the road before he heard a car speeding towards him.

"Get in." a female voice said through the blackened window.
