Sorry that I haven't updated for a while, I have been really busy with my other story and I've had a writer's block. Actually, I still have writer's block so any ideas are appreciated. And I thought I would tell you all that I am not putting Jacob in because nobody seems to like him. (I don't like him either)

EPOV (Edward's)

After a long, absolutely boring day of listening to Esme try to tell me things I already knew, I was more then eager for my practice session in fighting. I felt so sorry for all of the other vampires who had to attend Aro's daily rant. It was hard to believe that he could put me to sleep (not literally speaking, of course) faster then Esme could. But now I had the fighting lessons that were the second best thing to happen since I became a vampire. Bella was the number one best thing, of course.

I sighed in longing as I thought of her; her delightful laugh, her emotional deep brown eyes, her incredible smile, just her. There wasn't any doubt in my mind that I loved Bella Swan more then anything in the world. Of course, Tyler thought the same thing.

He had refused to leave her alone after we stopped being friends. Everywhere Bella went, Tyler tried to follow. It didn't matter that I couldn't read Bella's mind, I could still tell that she was fed up with him. Tyler kept trying to her, kept staring at her, kept asking her to hang out with him, and everyone thought he just sounded desperate. Demetri and I laughed about it after Demetri decided that Tyler wasn't worth being friends with.

Bella walked by me, nodding as she listened to Alice talk faster then any other vampire I knew. Jasper was right behind them and was watching his love, Alice, as she annoyed my love, Bella. Actually, I wasn't sure that Bella was annoyed but I knew I would be if I had to listen to Alice talk for eternity so I figured she was too. But she might have just been relieved that Tyler had to listen to Aro right now so he couldn't follow her.

We all entered the large room where Laurent, James, and Victoria were waiting. Emmet and Rosalie were already there, joined in a lip lock while the older vampires glared at them. Alice grinned when she saw them, and decided to copy them by kissing Jasper. I saw Bella looking trally awkward, and wondered how she would reacte if I offered to kiss her.

"Enough!" James roared, "Seperate yourselves or we will send you out right now. Today we are going to the forest to work on running and keeping enough concentration to escape any newborns that might stop you. For each person we left a path that will lead them around the forest in a formation you might fight in. You must stick to running as fast as you possibly can on that path while obstacles, members of the Volturi guard that offered to help us, will try and attack you. Th first person to the end of their path gets first choice in the next activity we try. Follow me."

James led us all outside to show us where our paths started. I smirked as I thought about how easy this would be; I was the fastest runner out of the six of us. I also knew when Laurent was going to yell for us to start, because of my ability to read his mind, so I started off half a second before everyone else. And for vampires, half a second means a lot. The path went everywhere so I tried to clear my thoughts of distraction, such as Bella, and concentrate on my surroundings. There was the briefest flash on movement in the trees around me so I braced myself for the upcoming impact of the guy whose thoughts I started to read. He planned to knock me out from infront so I jumped up just in time, and swung around, grabbed him by his shoulders, and flew him as far as I could into the forest. The guy didn't know what hit him, because of course he didn't know about my mind reading capabilities.

I continued along the path, fighting off the occasional idiot who thought they could beat me. It was almost impossible to beat a guy who could read your thoughts, who would know where you were going to move before you even moved. While running, I knew I was going to arrive first and get first choice in the next activity. Maybe we would have a partner activity, and I would be able to pick Bella as my partner. I could only hope.

The path finally ended and I saw only Laurent waiting, none of the others were here yet. There was no doubt in my mind that I had won the competition. Until I started to read Laurent's thought and realized I had only come in second. Bella had managed to beat me here.

"What? How did anyone manage to beat me? I thought I had won for sure." I grumbled.

Laurent laughed, "For someone who is visible, I am sure you went amazingly fast. But nobody could see or hear Isabella, so nobody could attack her."

For one stupid moment, I had forgotten about Bella's power. But now that I remembered, I didn't grudge her the win or her power. If invisibility meant that she would be safer when fighting the newborns, I was actually grateful of her power.

I ran ahead to where she was waiting, and watched her quietly. She didn't seem to notice that I was there, she was just sitting quietly and staring up at the sky. Once again I was struck by how beautiful she really was, even compared to all the other vampires.

We waited in silence until everyone else had come in, and then listened to James' next intructions. I was really starting to hate the guy, and his attitude.

"You call that running? I sure don't. And your win doesn't count, Isabella, because you were invisible the whole time. Now I want to see some real fighting. Emmet, Edward, and Alice, you are on one team. Isabella, Rosalie, and Jasper are on the other. Your task is to take down the other side, but do not kill them. Emmet, Edward, Alice, run to the other side of the forest and wait until I yell for you to start."

We did as James ordered even though I wanted to kill James for his complaint about Bella. She had won fairly because in war you were supposed to use whatever advantages you had and we were in war. James was just a complete jerk. And I couldn't believe the team he put me with. They were both idiots, so I knew I had to take charge.

"Emmet, take down Rosalie. Alice, take Jasper. Use whatever advantages you have and act quickly. Don't loose this." I mostly wanted to 'fight' Bella because I wanted to make sure she didn't get hurt.

My team nodded and raced off when we heard James yell. My senses were all alert, but if Bella was invisible that wouldn't do me much good. There was suddenly something hitting my head so I knew Bella was there. I moved my hands around, trying to get a hold on her but it was impossible. She grabbed both of my hands, pinned them against my back, and forced my face into the ground.

"Bella." I whispered, "Are you there?" it was a stupid question, but it served its purpose.

"Yeah." she whispered back, "You should already know that."

It sounded like her lips were right next to my ear, speaking into my ear, so I turned my head and started to kiss her. Her invisibility flickered for a second, and then she was completely visible. I remembered my plan to distract her, make her become visible, and then defeat her, but I couldn't do it. I couldn't make myself move away from her because I had wanted to kiss her for so long. And she was actually kissing me back this time.

I wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her closer, and she put her hands in my hair, her fingers running through it. We stayed like that for the longest time, hours maybe, until I heard chuckling near my head. Normally someone wouldn't get that close to me without me noticing but I had been entirely focused on Bella.

"Aw. You two are so cute together." Emmet boomed, laughing hystericly.

Bella sat up and glared at him, "Don't be a pain, Emmet. Go kiss Rosalie or something."

A high pitched voice giggled and I spotted Alice, "Looks like someone is enjoying themselves. We finished the game hours ago, but had no idea where you two were. James was livid."

I lept up, "He is always mad about something. You guys didn't need to disrupt us." I grinned at Bella, but she only looked embarrassed.

"You had hours of fun. Come on, Bells." Alice grabbed my Bella's hand and dragged her away.

I started running towards the castle as well, with Emmet and Jasper on either side of me, "You should have seen Tyler's face when he heard that you were missing together." Emmet told me.

Chuckling, I said, "I can imagine. He really needs to stop following Bella around."

Jasper nodded, "Alice was complaining that she could never talk to Bella because Tyler was always around."

Both Emmet and I rolled our eyes, "Since when does that stop Alice? Your girlfriend will talk eternity away." I noted.

Emmet snorted, "Yeah, but at least she wasn't trying to kiss eternity away, like somebody here." they both grinned at me.

"Were you two planning on kissing forever?" Jasper wanted to know.

"I wish. We just lost track of time, is all. And Bella is a really good kisser." I smiled to myself.

"Don't want to hear it." Emmet said, and then a grin lit up his face, "But I bet Tyler would."

I groaned, "I hate him so much. He had better stay away from Bella, she belongs to me now."

Jasper nodded, "Well, she has been in love with you for quite a while now."

"What?" I shrieked.

"Oh, its just something Alice told me." he shrugged it off.

I wasn't about to let him off that easily, "What did Alice tell you?" the curiousity was killing me.

"Apparently Alice thought there was something going on between you two and she asked Bella. And Bella admitted that she liked you, a lot, but she thought you didn't like her. And you were only asking her out because of your bet with Rosalie."

I groaned, "Stupid Rosalie and her stupid bets!"

Emmet growled at me, "Don't blame Rose, Edward. Or I will be forced to hurt you."

His words reminded me that I had never talked to Emmet and Jasper like this, as if we were friends. They all thought I was too mean and arrogant to talk to them, and I wanted to stick to the stupid popularity like Rosalie, but that wasn't it. And now that I was talking to them, I actually wanted to be friends.

"I'll blame whoever I want," I said after a second, "If it weren't for Rosalie, I might have been with Bella earlier."

Jasper rolled his eyes, "You aren't really with her, are you? You guys have kissed and all, but that doesn't make her your girlfriend. Unless you asked her?"

I swore under my breath, "No, I didn't ask. But that doesn't mean I can't right now." I left them to sprint towards Bella and Alice.

The girls turned to me, as I cut Alice off in mid-sentence. Alice was glaring at me, but bella smiled timidly, "Hey." I smiled at them both and decided to read Alice's mind.

Oh, he is giving Bella that stupid crooked smile she said she loves. Why does he need to disrupt me while I am trying to talk to Bella about her relationship with the idiot? She was about to admit that she loves him! Why can't he go away?

Alice's thoughts made me extremely happy, "I need to talk to Bella. Alone." Alice made a point to step on my foot before going to her boyfriend. Evil little pixie.

"What is it, Edward?" Bella asked, her smile letting me know that she saw Alice stepping on my foot.

"Hey, I just wanted you to know something. You know the bet I made with Rosalie? Well, I don't care about it anymore." I watched Bella's face fall, "But I like you so much. I liked you before Rosalie's stupid bet and what happened today, that was because I wanted it to happen."

Bella was quiet, "Oh." she said after a second.

"Look, the point is, I wanted to know if you want to be my girlfriend? I think that I- no. I know that I love you. What do you say?"

She smiled, wider then I had ever seen, "Yes. I, um, love you too."

I took a step through the small distance still between us, gathered her in my arms, and kissed her.

I know what you are thinking; finally! They are finally together! But now I have a complete writer's block, so I need ideas! R&R, please.
