A/N: This is just a bit of a teaser chapter to show what our dear sweet Edward is doing. It was ridiculously hard for me to get into his head. I hope you guys like it. I've already started on the next chapter and I should be done with it soon. I'm so sorry for the really long wait. Please forgive me (gives puppy dog eyes)

Chapter 20:

Edward's POV:Somewhere in the continental United States

How dare that mutt take what is mine. Damn that Heidi, if she had just stuck to the plan then I would still have my Bella. All she had to do was keep her hands to herself, but no she had to go and ruin everything. I'm not entirely sure how long it's been since that mutt found us, but I will have her back soon. I could have made her so happy. I will turn her the next time I see her. She will be mine.

I continued running through the forest looking for something acceptable to sate my thirst. These damn animals aren't working anymore. The memory of tasting her sweet blood haunts me constantly. Next time I have her it won't be tainted with that stupid fucker's venom. He dared to touch my Bella and look at what became of him; he is now nothing, just like Heidi. Just like that mutt will soon be. There must be something that he has over her. Why would she marry him when she should have waited for me? I know that it has been five years since I left her, but what is that to a vampire. She should have waited. Ah a grizzly. That should work for now I suppose.

As I sank my teeth into that foul creature I just kept telling myself that my misery would be over soon. I would have my Bella back at my side, and when I get her she will be mine forever. After digging a hole for my latest meal I covered it and made my way to the closest town. I have been out in the woods for who knows how long and I am in the mood for a nice long shower. It was easy to find a nice hotel that would accommodate my needs. When I walked up to the desk the woman behind it completely threw me. She had long brown hair and brown eyes with beautiful pouty lips that reminded me of my Bella. Her thoughts told me that she got off work in twenty minutes and that she wanted me.

"Hello there beautiful." I dazzled the beauty behind the desk. "I need a room for two."

Her eager face dropped at my admission and her thoughts shared her disappointment. Of course he isn't alone. Jeez Sally what made you think that he would even want you. "Ok sir, did you want two keys now or shall I hold the other key for you companion?"

"Oh my dear, I don't have anyone with me, I was just hoping that you would join me when you got off."

The eager smile was back and her eyes filled with lust. "Of course, I get off in twenty minutes. I could just meet you up in your room if you would like?"

"That would be lovely my dear. I'll see you soon." I smiled and headed to the elevator. While riding up in the elevator I marveled at what I was about to do. The room was adequate for what I needed.

As I stood under the spray of the shower I allowed my mind to wander back to that night with Bella in the ballet studio. Just the memory of her sweet tasting blood on my tongue caused me to be rock hard. Where is that lovely little brunette from downstairs? She may not be my Bella but she is definitely a good substitute for my needs. I may hang on to her if she is good enough until I have my Bella back. I have to practice to be good enough for my Bella since she has been with that dog. I will tear that mangy mutt to pieces for violating my beautiful bride. She should have waited for me, but no he had to manipulate her into marrying him. Of course I don't blame her at all, that mutt has something over her. Oh and that evil little spawn that they have the nerve to call a baby. It will be next on my list.

I could hear her lovely thoughts as she rode up in the elevator. Her thoughts were exuding extreme happiness and excitement. She was hoping that I would have my way with her and perhaps run away with her. She hated this job until today when I walked in. How sweet. I didn't bother with clothing since I wouldn't need it anytime soon. When she reached the door I could hear her pacing outside. What the heck am I doing? How could this guy even want me? He is gorgeous and I really don't want to screw this up. Just knock on the door Sally, you can do it.

I chuckled at her inner monologue and wrapped a towel around my waist before throwing the door open. "Well hello there beautiful, I've been waiting. Why don't you come in?"

She giggled and raked her eyes up and down my body. Her thoughts turned lustful as I led her inside and into the bedroom. That night I became a real man many times. The way her body moved with mine was exquisite. It was nothing compared to how my Bella is going to feel, but it was definitely a close second. I think I will keep this one. I'm going to enjoy my time with this Sally until I can be with her.

I have to really think this through, figure out how exactly I am going to get my Bella away from the dog. My family may be a problem but I have no problem with destroying each and every one of them to get what I want. Oh shit she is waking up. I can't wait until I am with my Bella and no longer have to pretend to be human. Her and I will run away together and no longer have to put on this stupid façade.

"Good morning baby." Sally whispered as she turned in my arms.

"Is it morning already. It feels like I just fell asleep. When do you have to work again?"

She giggled again and rubbed up against me. "I don't have to work today. You have me all to yourself until tomorrow at noon."

I will stay with her for a little while longer until they no longer believe that I am a threat. They will let their guards down and then I will strike. That mutt and that evil devil spawn will be gone and then I will have my Bella again. Just a little while longer.
