I'm sorry, I'm a rotten updater. I'm just going to face the facts, but I'm already working on the next chapter! I promise :) And now I'm happy because...well, you'll see why I'm happy :) And those people wishing that the Edward/Bella romance (not break up angst) will be back...next chapter...it's quite juicy if I do say so myself!

Anyway, enough babble about Eddie and Bella...this chapter has a significant flashback that has to do with Marcus and what he was doing at the Cullen's house at the end of It's STILL NOT BELLA! All of the flashback stuff is in italics to set it apart from the other action going on...INCLUDING RILEY! AHHH!

Okay, i'm done rambling. Tell me what you think, as always, and I really want to hear some theories about what's coming up! sooooo, w/o anymore adeiu...CHAPTER 6...but first more from our mystery person! anybody completely sure they know who is it? ;)

"Come on, Victoria, why shouldn't I be a vampire? It would make all of this easier and then you wouldn't have to be so careful whenever we do this?" They were in the back of the car that Victoria drove down in with Riley, but he was unaware of Riley's existence. Riley was also unaware of his backup's existence, something that Victoria made well sure of.

"Because, darling, when you're turned into a vampire you won't be able to watch the Cullens for me without attracting attention anymore. And I know you want them gone just as much as I do, so stick to the plan." And if her plan went correctly, she would disappear after killing the wretch that was responsible for James' death…

"But the plan involves me waiting until after graduation until I turn." He muttered.

She rolled her eyes, but in the dark he was unable to see it. She grabbed his head and kissed him one more excruciatingly disgusting time, "Just think, that's only in a few more days."

This So Is Not An Unhappy Ending!

Well, that was certainly an interesting day. My math and English classes went quite well, but the others were just sort of boring. That was because math and English were the only classes that I actually had alone without a single Cullen or Ava in the room to pester me about my new psychic abilities.

Every other one, though, had been a nightmare. Ever since I had shouted at Edward that I had had a vision, he'd been on my case about what I'd seen, what the vision looked like, if I thought that I'd read Alice's mind instead of having a separate vision, and on and on and on…it was absolutely the most annoying thing I've ever been through.

But, there was one good thing about Edward's doubled attention: Tanya kept sending me and Edward jealous glares all throughout the day. Ava was generally around me and Edward, throwing out questions of her own, so she saw Tanya's glares and threw back some pretty nasty ones herself.

All in all, it was a pretty sucky day.

And when I finally stepped into my room at the end of the day, I knew it was just going to get a whole lot suckier. "Are you seriously going to yell at me about your stupid girlfriend now? Because I honestly don't know how much more of this I can take! You want a solution? FINE! Tell the dumbass to come a week after the stupid fight is supposed to take place and just leave me alone!"

If you didn't get it, Alec was leaning against my bedpost when I walked in. To say that I was not in the mood would be a gross understatement. "Actually Bella, I came to see how you were doing."

I narrowed my eyes at him. "Liar."

He raised his right hand in the typical boy-scout fashion. "Honest."

I rolled my eyes this time. "Fine, that's what I am. I'm just freaking peachy keen! And how are you, Alec?"

"Quite well, actually, seeing as I talked to Britney this afternoon and I convinced her not to come to town until a week or so after the fight supposed to happen."

I really could have punched a wall and I doubt it would have hurt much. "Well, that's great! That's just great. I'm so glad. Now, get out." He looked hurt. "Please."

Like that actually made a difference. "Bella, I hope you don't mind, but I brought a friend along with me that I thought might make you cheer up a little bit."

Another person for me to vent at? What fun! "Really? And who might that be?" My voice was dripping with sarcasm. I really need some chocolate. Just something to take the edge off and…whoa…I feel really tired and…relaxed…all of a sudden. I plopped down on the rug. The floor was so cool to the touch…a lot like Edward, actually. Oh, Edward…

I heard Alec laugh, but I was too out of it to even acknowledge that or the new presence in my room suddenly. "What did you do to her, Jasper? I said to calm her down, not make her pass out."

I guess the new presence is Jasper. Hey, Jasper! How are you? Can you detect my every emotion right now? Because that's totally awesome! I heard him laugh too. "I did calm her down, but she had so much anger and pent-up frustration that once I drained it out of her, this was what's left. She's actually quite entertaining like this, don't you think?"

"Jasper!" Alec scolded. I wonder how much older Alec is than Jasper is…Alec looks way younger, but then again Jasper hardly looks a day over 200. "At least help her get into her right mind. We sort of need her at least able to walk and talk."

Jasper laughed again. "Alright, if you insist." You know, when you hear the guy laugh, it's not that hard to imagine Alice falling in love with him. I bet he'd never date someone else if Alice ever broke up with him! He should talk to Edward and then maybe—whoa, again.

I felt like I just got woken up with a bucket of freezing cold water. Why am I lying down on the floor? There could be germs down here! Or werewolf fur! Gross! "Oh my God! What did I do, pass out? Jasper? When did you get here?"

Jasper whispered something to Alec that sounded a lot like, "I didn't realize I took that much out of her. She needs to cut down on the stress…it's going to drive her crazy."

"I heard that!" Jasper looked down at the ground, obviously not expecting me to hear. "I don't know what's going on, but I'd really like to know why you two are in here. I have a lot of stuff to do tonight and I don't even know what to do about the whole psychic thing or about Riley, so don't even ask."

They gave each other a hard look before Jasper piped up and said, "Fine, we won't ask." Suddenly, I was swept up in Jasper's arms and out the window.

I tried to struggle in his arms, but he had me locked up pretty tight. That just made me even angrier than I was in the first place. "HEY! PUT ME DOWN! AND TAKE ME HOME! JASPER, I MEAN IT! WHERE ARE YOU GUYS TAKING ME? I SWEAR TO GOD, I AM GOING TO KILL YOU BOTH! AGAIN!" I felt a sudden expulsion in my general chest area and then Jasper stopped. Like uber abruptly.

And he dropped me! On the forest floor!

I was prepared to chew him out even more, but I was a little frightened for my life. Talk about If Looks Could Kill…jeez, he's the one that pulled me out of my room not the other way around! "Just go inside, Bella! Carlisle and Alice and the rest of the family want to talk to you! Okay? God!" He spun on his heel and started pacing back and forth behind the Cullen's house, which was where he stopped. Okay, he needs to work on controlling his emotions…wait a minute!

I grabbed Jasper's shoulders when his pace brought him back in front of me. I locked eyes with him for a second. "Jasper, calm down. There's nothing to be angry about, okay? Just, calm down." I felt that same kind of pulling in my chest, but Jasper didn't change. If anything, I might have made him angrier.

"What did you do?" Jasper's starting to freak me out. He sounded like he was about to slaughter me! Was it actually me who did that? Can I manipulate emotions now too?

"I—I didn't mean to!"

"Bella!" Thankfully, I think, Jasper suddenly slumped to the ground. Wait, can vampires pass out? I mean, seriously, what just happened?

After that, can this day honestly get any weirder?

The voice that interrupted told me that, yes, the day could and would be getting a lot weirder. "Hello, Miss Swan, Mr. Whitlock. I believe everyone is inside waiting for you." What the hell? Marcus was standing like he always does, like his spine has been permanently straightened, with Alec standing next to him looking abashed. Well, at least Alec's presence explains what happened to Jasper.

"Sorry, Bella." He shrugged. "We may have left Volterra, but he's still my master."

"I thought Britney was your master." The traitor. He knows I have no desire to talk to Marcus, like ever again! The first time was bad enough…

"I'll get it." I didn't wait for Alice to tell me who it was. I just knew I had to get out of that room before Edward could say anything, and this was the fastest way.

"Angel! Emmett!" Alice yelled. They must have been behind me, but I didn't stop. The Cullen's door didn't have a peephole, so I just sort of threw the door open without thinking.

I wasn't prepared for who was there, though.

"Marcus? Alec?"

"Miss Swan," Marcus looked visibly relieved that it was me who answered the door, but tensed when he saw my two huge protectors, "We need your help." This Marcus looked completely different from the bored, lifeless person I'd seen when we were in Volterra. This one was focused, angry, and, at the moment, a little bit scared of Emmett and Angel's growls. I was too stunned to actually speak, but after a moment Marcus relaxed. "Carlisle, would you mind telling these young gentlemen that I mean Miss Swan no harm?"

Carlisle moved past me to shake Marcus' hand and nodded to Emmett and Angel. "Of course, Marcus. We're all just a bit protective of Bella around here. I'm sure you can understand that."

"Yes, Miss Swan does seem to be in a great deal of danger at the moment. I would not let her out of my sight if I were young Edward." Yeah, Edward! Wait, why? "She caused quite the uproar in Volterra, which is the cause of my visit. Would you allow me to come inside?"

Carlisle was just as thrown by the change in Marcus as I was, but he was way more composed than I was. "Please, do. We were all just watching…an interesting movie." Nice cover, Carlisle!

Marcus and Alec kept their eyes on me as Carlisle led them inside where everyone else was watching me too. Which just made me want to shrink so no one could how badly I was blushing! The credits of New Moon were still playing on the television screen, which somehow must have caught Marcus' attention. "Kristen Stewart? Is that not the actress who portrays Miss Swan in the Twilight films?"

My voice finally decided to come back to me just so I could blurt out. "Oh, dear God! Did Aro tell you about all of that too?"

Marcus almost caused me to pee my pants. He snarled, "I became aware of the films on my journey here. Aro told me nothing of them. I have detached myself from him in every way imaginable, except for death. And once I kill him, I can finally be free of him for the rest of eternity."

Well, having my voice was nice while it lasted. I managed to squeak out "Oh" before Edward placed himself between me and Marcus. From behind him, I saw Alec move to protect Marcus if Edward should try to attack him.

"What does Bella have to do with any of this?" Edward growled back at Marcus. Well, at least I know he's still ready to kill himself for me…but he needs to back away from the nice Volturi leader like now. I put my hand on his shoulder, which seemed to relax him just a little. It just made my heart beat even faster. Just what I need in a room full of vampires!

Marcus smiled fondly at me and Edward. "Mr. Cullen, you and Miss Swan share one of the strongest bonds I have ever seen other than the one that led me down this path, so it should be quite simple for you to realize that Miss Swan has everything to do with this. Miss Swan has an insurmountable amount of information that could change the world as we know it." Talk about pressure.

I saw Edward's jaw set. Great, now he's really mad! Good job Marcus! "I don't want to put Bella in any more danger than we already put her in." Oh sweet Jesus! Not that crap again!

"Edward—" I started, but Marcus interrupted me. Okay, if I'm going to speak with him, that whole "I'm better than you because I'm a vampire" thing is not going to fly.

"I give you my word, Mr. Cullen, Miss Swan will not be in any danger because of me. I believe what I have to say will actually save her life." Ava and Alice were literally jumping up and down on the other side of the room. I couldn't tell if they were excited or scared because of Marcus.

Edward took a deep breath before moving back to my side. I suppose we moved past our petty fight we had during the movie. Two members of the Volturi were enough to do that, I guess. "If she gets hurt…"

Wow, Edward's frustrating enough to make Marcus roll his eyes. And the dude's been in a semi-comatose state for God knows how long. I'm thinking Edward has more talent in that area than I gave him credit for. "Mr. Cullen, you've seen my thoughts, if you can't see that I mean her no harm then I suppose Alec and I should leave."

Edward let out a sigh of relief. But, I had to know what Marcus thought I knew that was so important and what could change the world as we know it. Emmett and Angel were still in body guard mode, so when I ran after Marcus, they went right along with me.

This, of course, just made me lose my temper. "Okay, you two need to back the heck up! I am perfectly capable of protecting myself and I don't need you to act like babysitters!" Well, I've started yelling, I might as well keep going. I spun away from a startled Angel and Emmett to Edward, who was looking shocked himself. "And you! If you're going to start on that crap about you being so ridiculously dangerous for me to be around, then you can just stay away from me. Permanently. Because I honestly don't want to hear about how dangerous you are to me anymore." Finally, I turned towards Ava and Alice. "And will you two stop jumping, you look like two kindergarteners getting ready for snack time! Jeez!"

Okay, Bella, deep breaths. You don't want to fall over in front of everyone. Plus, now you have Marcus' attention. He was actually smiling at me. "I'm impressed Miss Swan at your spark. You seem like a person who knows what they want." Ha! That's funny! If only he knew I broke up with Edward when we got home from Italy. "I take it that you do wish to speak with me."

Deep breath. "Yes, Marcus. Where would you like to talk?" Business-mode-Bella has engaged.

"If it is not too much of an imposition on the Cullens, I thought we could speak in the dining area. Carlisle?"

Carlisle nodded, but sent a worried look around the room. I didn't even care at this point if anyone was mad at me. I just wanted to know what the heck was going on. "I suppose we can all go on a quick hunt. Bella, if you need us, we're just a call away."

But I didn't want to be completely alone with two human blood sucking vampires! "Carlisle, would you mind staying with me?" I saw Edward out of the corner of my eye look especially hurt that I didn't ask him to stay.

Carlisle was happy though. I suppose he wanted to know what was going on almost as much as I did. "Of course, Bella. Esme, will you take everyone else out?"

Esme smiled reassuringly at me before saying, "Come along, everyone. Good luck, Bella darling."

Then we were alone. Even Edward went without a fight. I guess he took what I said to heart. Well, good! I don't want to hear anything else about him being dangerous because, honestly, that crap gets old really fast. Carlisle led us all in the dining room. At least there were even numbers: me and Carlisle versus Marcus and Alec. Marcus began immediately. "I must ask, Miss Swan, how did you know about Didy…Didym…Did…" Poor Marcus, he can't say her name.

To be honest, though, I doubt I would be able to say Edward's name if Ava killed him. Wow, I better make sure she doesn't do that. Carlisle looked confused. "Didyme? What about her?"

I forgot to fill him on that. Whoopsies! "Aro killed Didyme when she and Marcus were going to leave the Volturi, and Aro never told Marcus. I sort of let the cat out of the bag before we left the Volturi. I should probably apologize about my blunt delivery. I actually just wanted to piss Aro off for what he did to me, but I didn't really think I would cause a rift in the Volturi. I mean, I'm guessing that's why you and Alec left, right?"

Alec, who was actually a really cute guy once you looked at him up close and he didn't have the same creepy expression his sister has, looked pretty different from when I last saw him in Italy, too. I sort of blurted he was in love with that Britney girl—who will not stop e-mailing me about him and everything else all the time—and he looked pretty much frozen when we ran out of there. Now, he actually had a smile on his face and his eyes weren't completely glazed over. "I came for another reason, as well as to assist Marcus: are you still in contact with the young girl that you rescued from Volterra?"

I knew he was in love with her! I totally called it! Oh, yeah! I smirked at him. "Oh, yeah, Britney and I are BFFs!" Okay, so from the look Alec's sending me, I can guess he doesn't know what a BFF even is. "In short, yes, I am in contact with her. Was I correct in my assumption before about you having certain feelings for her?"

If only vampires could blush, the world would be a far less complicated place. "There's just something about her…" Marcus gave Alec a sharp look, "But I am here for Marcus and his plans primarily."

Suck up.

Marcus took control of the conversation. You know, if Aro didn't have the vampire that made everyone loyal to him, Marcus could totally stage a coup and just run the Volturi himself. "Your apology, Miss Swan, I assure you is not needed. You have set me free. Once I heard the truth, I demanded Aro explain, but all he told me were more lies. Lies about the Cullens, about you, and about Didyme." Whoa, he said her name. He must be pissed. "I felt like I'd been reawakened for the first time in a millennium, and I could finally see the truth that everything Aro did was a lie. He constantly had Chelsea connect the entire guard to him, as well as Caius and myself. I attempted to attack him for everything he had ever done, but I was forced back to my quarters by the guard. Alec came later and we left Volterra before Aro knew we were gone."

Wahoo! Is it bad that I'm happy my wife bomb caused an entire riot in the room? I'm just happy that Marcus isn't "dead" at the moment.

Carlisle is definitely beside himself hearing how I may or may not have torn his old family apart. "But, how could you know something like this, Bella? It was never mentioned in the books, was it?"

Marcus snapped out of his angry rage for a moment and looked at me pointedly. "Did you find this information in a book?"

Here we go…again! "Well, sort of. You see, there's something you have to understand first: my name isn't actually Isabella Swan. Before I moved to Forks, my name was Sarah Stiles. When I was back home, I was very interested in a book series called Twilight which takes place in Forks, hence the reason I jumped on moving here. My first day in high school and everyone seemed to believe that my name was Bella, which freaked me out to say the least. The Twilight Saga is about a girl named Bella Swan, who meets a family of vampires, most importantly, Edward Cullen. She and Edward sort of fall in love and then there's a sequel when he leaves her and they end up visiting the Volturi. So, when I came here, I unintentionally joined the story as Bella."

Carlisle looked fascinated as he always does when I tell my story and Marcus looked intrigued as well. "I see. So you had prior knowledge to the Volturi's existence before your journey to Volterra?"

"Yep. The author also came out with a background story of the Volturi, which talked about you…and Aro…and your wife."

"But how does she know all of this?"

"No idea." I doubt Stephanie Meyer even knows that her story freaking came to life, either! "But somehow Aro knew about the books as well and kept their existence a secret from you and Caius."

Marcus took me totally by surprise and grabbed both of my hands. "Miss Swan, or Stiles as may be the case, I came here to learn the truth, which you have graciously given to me. Now I have another request to make of you. I heard of the spectacle you caused in the lobby before you left Volterra, which intrigued me even more so than your knowledge of my past. I believe you could be an incredible leader of the Volturi in the future with me and your Edward at your side."

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! IS HE ISANE? "WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! I am most definitely not looking to have anything to do with the Volturi now or ever in the future no matter who's with me. Besides, it's pretty much impossible to beat Aro and I really don't have a hankering to try."

Carlisle, thank God, took my side. "Marcus, I appreciate your idea, but Bella is still very young. She deserves to live her life, not die trying to help serve your vengeance."

Marcus could not stop, though. "Carlisle! Surely you've seen the potential in her. She could be essential in making our world a much more peaceful one. And she would not be helping me to serve my vengeance: I will avenge her on my own. But I'm sure Miss Swan has her own reasons to kill Aro, as we all do." Okay, he's got me there, but I will never run the vampire world. I'm only eighteen for God's sake! "Think about my offer, Miss Swan, please. I need to find an opportune time to kill Aro, and I'm sure you know when that could be. And, until you make your decision, know that Alec and I will be around town to serve you in any way we can."

Oh, yeah, that offer sounds great…

Needless to say, I wasn't in any mood to be around Marcus today. It's amazing that I was ever able to become friends with Alec after that day, but somehow the lovable idiot made his way into my heart just like every other vampire that comes rushing for help when their true loves are in danger. Never mind, that's just Alec.

"And why is everyone waiting inside for me?"

Marcus held out his arm for me to take, which promptly caused me to fold mine. Take that, Mr. I'm Second Place on the Creepy Scale Behind Aro! "You are essential to Miss Alice's plan for this evening."

Is that what Alice did all day instead of coming to school? I should have known it had nothing to do with my incredible new powers. "Her plan?"

"Were you aware, Miss Swan, that someone is breaking into your room at this very moment?"

Damn it, now I have to take care of this. "Well, actually I was aware that I would have an invader in my room and that there is some sort of plan that to catch him." I enjoy watching people's jaws drop way too much. "Yeah, that's right. I already know about that. And do you know how? I saw the future this morning. And do you know how I did that? I HAVE NO IDEA!"

Ava and Angel came running outside the second I started shrieking at Marcus who was definitely reconsidering his offer to me about being in charge of the Volturi after that little freak out. "Bella? Was that you screamin' out here? You okay?" Well, actually Angel I'm just freaking out like normal.

Ava didn't even bother showing sympathy. "Get your ass inside right now before Riley gets away!"

I swiveled on her, but something in her expression told me not to voice my opinion. "Fine…stupid freaking vampires think they do whatever they want…" I muttered the whole walk up to the house. Everyone sans Edward, Tanya, and Carlisle were standing around in the living room looking ready to kick some serious butt.

Especially Emmett. He was practically jumping off the wall. "Did you hear what we're going to do, Bella? Did you? Did you? Did you?"

Oh, sweet Jesus. "Ava, make him stop."

She wouldn't stop smirking at Emmett. "But it's just so funny."

Emmett literally started jumping up and down next to me. This is going to get old really fast if Ava doesn't make him stop. "Bella, we're going to get stupid head who wants your shirt!"

I summoned my inner mother and tried not to laugh. "I know, Emmett. Now, listen to me. This very bad boy wants to kill me and you and the rest of our family. I need you to whip his butt for me and bring him back here so I can talk to him, okay?" Okay, so I sounded like I was talking to a baby, but really it's entirely Ava's fault!

That evil witch decided to snap Emmett out of her little stupor when I was halfway through my lecture. "Bella, why are you talking like that?"

"Oh, forget it! Where's Edward?"

Alice took charge of the room immediately. "Alright, here's what we're going to do. Ava, Angel, Rosalie, Emmett and I are going to go back to the house first. Seth made sure that no one was home when I told him what was going on, so we don't have to worry about making too much noise. I'm not really sure where Jasper is right now, but he's supposed to be helping us as well. Bella, you can drive back to your house with one of our cars, alright? You just need to be around the house in case someone shows up while we're getting Riley out."

"What are you planning on doing with him, Alice? I kind of wanted to talk some sense into him or we could use him as a spy, did you think of that?"

Alice smiled her all-knowing smile. "Of course, Bella. That was my plan from the beginning."

Alright, that sets up the vision I had earlier except for one thing. "Okay…but what about Edward? Where is he anyway?"

Everyone looked awkward for a moment, but Esme was kind enough to inform me of my ex's whereabouts. "Edward was opposed to the idea of keeping Riley…alive. He wanted him to be destroyed because he thinks that Riley would be too dangerous for you to be around especially since he's been with Victoria for the past year."

I have a bad feeling about this. "So, where is he?"

"Tanya took him hunting a ways away from here. We don't think he knows what we're planning on doing, but if he does come…well, we'll figure that one out later." Meaning, I'll be dealing with it like in my vision. Alice obviously knows something is going to happen because now she won't look me in the eye.

Oh, I'll get her for this.

Less than a half hour later, I was sitting in Alice's porshe in my driveway. I don't want to go inside mainly because I have the feeling Edward will be bursting in the house soon enough and I'll have to do something about it.

I can't! I won't! I don't want to! What if I have to hold him back? I couldn't see what was happening to me in my vision, so who's to tell me that I won't have to hold him back from breaking my door down? If that happens, Edward's face might be within inches of mine, which means his eyes will be locked with mine and I will not be able to think clearly. What if I start kissing him?

Argh! Just go inside, and hopefully Edward won't come. I mean, Alice's visions are subjective and that means it might not happen. Which, it won't. Because Alice told me that Edward doesn't know that Riley will be getting caught today.

"Okay, Bella, stop freaking out. All you have to do is sit in front of the door until they have Riley out of your room and you can write the speech for graduation."

Wow, I'm shaking. It took me until I'm about to walk inside of my own house to realize that I'm scared to death of Riley being in my room. I mean, it's one thing for Edward when he used to come inside because I pretty much just made out with him until I fell asleep, but Riley is just being a creeper! And I wore that red shirt when I was working out!

I guess this is why I need to have a little chat with Riley. The only thing I wanted to tell him before this was about Victoria being a liar, but now we're going to have to talk about personal boundaries. And I suppose Ava will have to take away his craving for human blood too and, of course, we have to get him to switch to our side of the fight.

Well, walking inside the house isn't giving me any clues as to what is or has happened upstairs. I told them I didn't want Seth or Leah to be able to figure out that there'd been a stranger in the house, so they were trying to catch Riley within the confines of my bedroom. And they'd better not be tearing things up either!

I finally got upstairs and sat against my closed door, listening intently to what was going on. "GET OFF OF ME!" A male voice that I definitely did not recognize screamed from inside my room.

Well, it seems that they've caught him. A knock on the door jolted me into a standing position, and suddenly Emmett's voice vibrated through the door, "We've got him, Bella. But I wouldn't come inside here yet, he's putting up a little bit of a fight."

That's certainly new news! I won't even bother rolling my eyes since Emmett can't see it. Okay, since all of that went so swimmingly, maybe Edward won't come at all and the rest of my night can just be filled with quality time with my speech.

Suddenly, the door downstairs slammed open so loud, I thought for a second that someone had broken it off its hinges. And, since the person was standing face to face with me a half second later, I wouldn't be surprised if the door was in splinters. "Hey, Edward! What's up?"

He was way beyond pissed. "Bella, what's going on? I know Alice has something planned for that Biers kid!" He made a move to go inside my room, which made me spring over so that I was between Edward and the door, and I was right before about being much too close to Edward. If I wasn't gripping the siding so hard, I would have fallen over just from the close proximity of Edward.

"Edward, stop!" Why did he have to be so damn good looking? I thumped my head against the door quickly to un-befuddle some of my thoughts before talking. "You can't go in there…I've got bras all over the floor…and I think Seth might be making out with someone in there!" Whoa, déjà vu.

He didn't buy it for a second. "Is that what all the noise in there is?"

"It's probably his first time." Just keep smiling, Bella, and maybe you won't get too distracted by his lips. Oh, screw it, I really want to kiss him.

Edward's eyes narrowed at me. Oh, God please don't try to push past me! We both know he's stronger than I am, but don't use that against me! "Bella, they might leave Riley alive, you have to let me in—" He did, the butt head, use his strength the push the door open and tried to move past me.

I saw Alice out of the corner of my eye move to push the rest of the boys out of my window, so I did the one thing that my body's practically been screaming for me to do since Edward stepped in the house.

I grabbed his coat so that we were face to face, and slammed my lips against his.

Ahh, Cliffhanger...well, a half one since I'll just tell you now that that kiss is just going to get more intense...Edward is quite the kisser :)

Anywho! Go review! Whoa...that rhymed.
