Hi everybody!!
Yay more readers!! I am not sure if I will be finished with this chapter tonight so I will definitely be done with it on Friday and it will be up and ready for everyone to read.
If anyone has any questions just ask and I will answer, hopefully.
Thank you to all who have read and those who have reviewed :)
Sadly, I have no ownership of Twilight and Edward, but a girl can dream can't she?
"Alice please, lets take a break," Bella panted.
Alice pouted but agreed nonetheless. Bella plopped down on a little bench outside the last store Alice dragged her into. She lost count of the numerous bags that littered the area around her and Alice, wondering how she could have such money for being an assistant maid.
"I am guessing they pay you well at the castle," Bella said.
Alice nodded enthusiastically, "The misses loves me, thinks of me as the daughter she never had." Alice answered with a giggle.
Bella smiled as well, liking how easily Alice could be so honest with her.
After sitting and relaxing for awhile Alice jumped up, startling Bella, "Come, I better get you back to the castle before Edward starts to worry too much."
Bella nodded wearily and grabbed a bunch of the over flowing amount of and watched in amazement at how such a small girl could carry so many overflowing bags.
"So what's your story Bella? How did Edward manage to come across you?" Alice asked as she literally bounced down the cobble road towards the castle.
Bella panicked, she did not know how Alice would take her saying 'well Edward actually found me as a swan a few days ago and then this morning he found me as a human girl with a mission to help him regain the happiness in his life' so she settled on "Well I am not sure really, I only remember waking up inside Edward's chamber and seeing you."
Alice seemed to buy that, and continued to bounce all the way back to the castle.

When they finally returned back to the castle Bella and Alice made their way to Edward's chamber. Alice didn't even bother knocking on the door before barging into his room, startling Edward out of his thoughts, causing him to leap off his bed.
"Alice, why must you always do that?" Edward asked, exasperated.
Alice just smiled that innocent looking smile and dropped her load of bags onto the floor of Edward's room.
"Well I am off to find Jasper before I have to head of to the kitchen to begin preparations for dinner, seeing as Bella and I shopped through lunch. Bye Bella, bye Edward!" Alice sang as she skipped down the hall.
Bella turned to a weary looking Edward, "Jasper?"
"He is Alice's Husband and takes care of the horses out back," Edward explained, "Don't worry he isn't all hyper and bouncy like Alice, he is the more calm and reasonable person in the relationship."
Edward watched Bella physically relax at hearing that and he smiled.
"That bad?"
Bella nodded tiredly, "You should have warned me that she is obsessive compulsive when it comes to shopping."
Edward just chuckled softly, motioning for her to take a seat on his bed. Edward watched Bella sink into the confines of his bed, a look of peace appearing on her face.
"Tell me about yourself Edward," Bella asked, looking up at him. Bella watched Edward physically tense at those words, as if he was afraid for her to know how bad off he really was. Bella immediately felt her cheeks heat up at this, feeling stupid for asking such a question. "It's okay Edward you don't have to answer, forget I mentioned it," she mumbled.
Edward looked at her, her rich brown hair, reddened cheeks, and deep chocolate brown eyes and sighed, feeling like a jerk for making her feel the way she does rite now.
"There's not much to know about me," he began, taking a seat next to her, meeting her chocolate eyes with his emerald ones, "As you know I am the prince of this land, about 18 years of age, and tend to wish to keep to myself."
Bella just nodded as she listened to him, "but, may I ask, why did you tense up when I had hugged you this morning and why did you tense up when I asked you about yourself moments ago?" while staring into his emerald pools.
Edward broke away from her stare, feeling almost ashamed of what had happened to him, "It's hard to think about what had made me this way, let alone talk about it," he spoke quietly, retelling a memory from deep inside his mind.
Flashback
A little boy stood, struggling with a large metal sword, in the vast open meadow found a while behind the castle. He lifted the sword up with shaky hands and tried to perform the techniques that he was instructed with by his father. Only to have his grip slip and have the sword come land into the soft meadow grass. The boy was about to retrieve the sword when he made out the sound of footsteps in the grassy meadow. He froze in fear when he looked up to see the face of his father, glaring angrily down upon him.
"Uh father I was-, "Edward began.
"Being lazy!" Edward Sr. roared, grabbing Edward by the collar of his shirt and tossing him across the meadow, like some rag doll.
Edward flinched as he landed, his back hitting a sharp stone. He struggled to get back up only to be pushed back down. His father looming over him, holding Edward's sword in his hand, Edward looked up at his father in fear.
"Now Edward," he began, drawing the sword swiftly across Edward's chest, casing his navy button up to rip open. "You are never going to learn to become a trained and skilled warrior by being lazy, you are never going to learn how to destroy your enemies, like this." He continued, slowly dragging the sharp tip of the sword down Edward's exposed chest, causing a trail of blood to follow from above his left nipple to right above his right rib cage.
Edward fought back the tears that were threatening to spill from his eyes as he watched his father do this. "Daddy, please, stop."
Edward Sr. jerked his head ferociously up, his eyes dark with anger, and drew his hand harshly against Edward's cheek.
Edward cried out in pain and fear, his cheek reddening.
"You will learn your place, or you won't live to become ruler of this land," his father said darkly, before tossing the sword to the ground and briskly turning back towards the castle.
Edward curled up into a ball, not caring that his chest was starting to heavily bleed, he just sat there silently, his tears pouring silently down his bloody cheeks.
Bella stared at Edward in shock, having no idea that a father, a parent that is supposed to love and support you, could do something so terrible to his son.
"Is, is there a scar?" Bella asked timidly.
Edward looked up at her, seeing shock, surprise, and curiosity all swirling in those chocolate depths. Edward nodded slightly, feeling compelled and a little confident that she showed no sign of pity in her chocolate eyes he asked, "Would you wish to see it?"
Surprised, Bella nodded, and watched in awe as Edward slowly stripped his tight forest green shirt off, revealing his well built chest.
"Does it still hurt?" Bella asked curiously as she gently trailed her soft fingers down the scar. She felt Edward twitched under her touch and immediately stopped.
"Don't stop," he mumbled, and Bella looked up at him, surprised to see his normally dark emerald orbs even darker, filled with something she couldn't place exactly place.
Suddenly, she felt herself begin to lean forward. She watched him begin to lean as well, the air between them getting thick as their faces inched closer together.
Just as she felt his warm breath flutter across her lips, Alice barged in.
"Dinner's ready! And just in time I see," Alice giggled as she watched Bella and Edward jerk away from each other, the blushes on their cheeks turning a deep, deep scarlet.
"Alright Alice thank you, we will be right there," Edward answered shakily.
Alice giggled once more and left quickly. Bella, still a bit red, mumbled something and quickly left as well.
Edward sighed and flopped back onto his bed, wondering what could have, and would definitely have happened, if Alice hadn't come in.
