B-POV

I stared in shock at Edward as he dug deep into Quil's chest, locating his heart. I couldn't watch as he tore it apart. The smell of blood filled the room, making me queasy. I could feel my head spinning. I felt waves of contentment sweeping over me. I dared to look over at Jasper. He was like Edward, pinching the bridge of his nose. I assumed it was from anger, or perhaps concentration. I was the only one who was angry right now. After Edward successfully tore apart Quil's heart, he turned to me, gave me a grin, and ran off. I wanted so badly to go after him and tell him to stop hurting the wolves...but why were they attacking me? Why would my other family suddenly turn on me, the day after my wedding? Did they think I was a vampire already? Were they trying to kill me before Edward got the chance to change me?

Too many questions. My head was spinning. I couldn't stay here anymore. I slowly stood up from the floor, carefully watching Jasper the whole time. He still looked focused, pinching his nose, though I wasn't sure why. I slowly and silently made my way to the door, not looking at the body of Jacob's fallen best friend. When I reached my destination, I slowly leaned out, surveying the damage. There was a sandy lump at the end of the hallway. My breath hitched in my throat. I turned, once more, to look at Jasper. If he was aware of my escape then he didn't care. I inched down the hallway and went to the body. My heart fell into my shoes. It was Seth Clearwater's wolf-form. I felt the tears in my eyes, and I leaned down to rub the fur. It was still slightly warm, but nowhere near normal wolf temperature. I started bawling then. 'I need to leave', I thought, 'I can't take this.' And so leave I did. I didn't care who saw me or heard me, I just ran like a bat out of hell for that door. Surprisingly, I didn't trip. It must have been the adrenaline. I didn't know where to go. They'd know to look for me at Charlie's. I couldn't run away to La Push because La Push was here. However, if I did go to La Push...Edward wouldn't be able to come and force me to come back.

I was torn. If I went to First Beach...could I take being there, knowing that Seth and Quil were dead? I thought about their families, especially Sue Clearwater. She'd lost her husband, her children changed into werewolves...and now she lost her son. I didn't have much more time to decide. I got into my truck and went to the beach.

I wasn't quite dressed for the beach...or anything, for that matter. I still had on the dress that Alice had put me in for our wedding reception. It was long, black, and had a plunging neckline that was held together in the middle by a single sparkly silver heart. The dress was very elegant, and I felt awful being on the beach in it. I knew Alice would kill me. What was I supposed to do, change before I ran away? It was a miracle that I was able to walk in the sand with these heels, too. Three inch silver heels with a heart to match my dress. As I was walking, I passed my tree. I paused, and kept walking. I was here for my mental health, and sitting on that tree would not be helpful. I walked a ways, again, and finally came upon something to sit on, an abandoned mattress. I sat down, wondering what a mattress was doing on the beach. As I watched the waves come in and out, listening to the sounds they made, I grew tired. I found myself laying down on the mattress, looking out into the water as I fell asleep.

I was startled awake when I felt cold hands at my neck. I was scared, because this was La Push, the Cullens weren't allowed here...so whose hands were rubbing my shoulders? I spun around, and saw my husband. He looked grim.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy?" I asked, pulling away from him. He looked at me for a long minute before he began.

"Bella. I don't know how to say this...Love, I am allowed to be here, now, because there are no werewolves in La Push anymore." I let the words echo in my head, and then I began to bawl. He reached for my hand but I let him nowhere near it.

"YOU KILLED THEM ALL!" I was hysterical. "ALL of them?? EDWARD! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?" I stared at him, my teeth chattering together. He gestured for me to come closer. I refused. He sighed.

"No, Bella. We didn't kill them all. In fact, we didn't kill any of them. The werewolves, at least." I glared.

"Excuse me?" I was getting angry. "YOU KILLED QUIL RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!"

"Actually, his name was Justin. He was one of a family of nine, well, five now, shapeshifters that just moved here last week."

"Shapeshifters?" Edward nodded grimly.

"There haven't been shapeshifters in Forks for a good, long time."

"So...you weren't really killing the wolves?"

"No. The real Leah, Quil, Seth, and Paul are all fine." I sighed in relief, and decided to take Edward's offer to cuddle.

"I feel like I'm showing you something for once," I muttered. He put his arm around me, drawing circles in my shoulder. I gently took his other hand in mine, and sighed. "Am I going to be safe?"

"You're always safe around us, Bella. You never have to worry about your safety. You know this." I looked at him, and he looked worried and hurt. I kissed him, and Edward quickly deepened it. It felt so good to kiss him, but I couldn't help feeling like he was kissing me for the last time, and he knew it. As his tongue licked my bottom lip requesting enterance, I opened my mouth and let him in. He reached his arms around me, and I felt my bra come undone. I wanted to stop him, I didn't want our first time to be when he thought I was in danger...but I wanted it too badly, and didn't care what his motives were. He reached into my dress and pulled it off, and I began to unbutton his shirt. I threw his shirt to the side and began to fiddle with his belt. Before I knew it he had my dress over my head and was taking my shoes off. He then took off his own belt and pants. God, he was beautiful naked. I waited, expectantly, and when he returned to me, I deliberately reached down and took his boxers off. He pulled off my panties, and we had sex for the first time there, on First Beach.

Sorry it's a little short...I could have waited until tomorrow to update, but I felt bad. So...I'll try to get another chapter up tomorrow. R+R!!
