First off, HUGE thanks to everyone who alerted/favorited/reviewed this story... If you allow PM's, I have hopefully sent you a message. To those who do not have PM's allowed, thanks. :D

This is chapter 13. TADDAAAA!!! haha... Um.. I worked really hard on this because the plot is starting to move a little bit more... So, I hope you enjoy it...

THE ITALICS ARE FROM THE NEWSPAPER ARTICLE... You'll understand when you get there.

I guess I will see you at the bottom.

Bella

"Do you remember this?" Edward asked me, holding a picture of a beautiful meadow. This meadow, of course, could not compare to the Greek god standing in front of me.

The meadow was so breathtaking; I wanted to go there so bad. There was a circle of no trees, and I loved the view. Sunshine was pouring into the grassy area, making the grass sparkle with the morning dew.

"I wish I could be there. It's so beautiful," I said, shaking my head no. I didn't remember it.

Edward's face dropped, making me realize that I had been there before, but I still didn't remember it. He hoped that it would spark some kind of memory. He was officially desperate.

"Okay, we will try again another day," Edward said, not giving up hope on the idea. I wondered why he was so desperate for me to remember. It wasn't like I had anything after me.

I shrugged. "Can I see the picture some more?" I asked, hoping that he would let me adore the beauty of the picture. I really loved it, and I would love to be there.

He handed over the picture to me, making me smile in response. I just wish I could be there.

I sat on the sofa, and Edward was sitting next to me, reading a newspaper. He looked at Alice intently before concentrating back on the newspaper.

I decided to look at the newspaper. The headline caught my eye.

More Deaths in Volterra Spark Interest

A man was walking home Monday when he seen a dead body lying in the dumpster. He soon called police, who thought it was a joke. When police arrived, they saw the dead body and realized that this was not a laughing matter.

Another man was found missing after he had been watching a movie with his girlfriend. While watching the movie, his girlfriend looked over to find him missing. Firefighters were called later on that night because a dumpster had been caught on fire outside the cinema. The man's charred remains were found in the dumpster.

Another incident occurred Tuesday. This time, the bodies seemed to be burned to death and then thrown in the dumpster. Three similar incidents occurred on Wednesday with the bodies being found in the dumpster after brutal harm. On Thursday, four more deaths occurred within the same vicinity as the others. Police officers are still in the process of contacting the families.

This is the third week that murders have occurred frequently, and the body counts continue to get higher. This is a shock to the city, and the mayor states that something will be done to find this person. Police still have no leads, but they are working their hardest.

There is one thing that is clear: Something hideous is stalking Volterra.

I turned away from the paper after reading that. I wondered why Edward was looking so intently at Alice after reading this article. Was there something that I needed to know that I was missing? Of course, there was; I can't remember a thing from a life that seemed to have problems.

"What is going on?" I asked, wondering what was with the showdown.

"Bella, love, nothing is wrong. There is just something that is going on in the city," Edward explained, making his voice even more amazing than before. I wish that I could remember more of our time together.

"Oh, okay," I said, yawning. I didn't realize how tired I was. Apparently, my drooping eyelids said that I was very tired, and I should get some sleep.

"Bella, let's get you to bed. You are tired," Edward said before I could ask him where the bed was.

"What about you?" I asked, hoping that he would sleep in the room with me. "And Alice?" There's only one bed in the room.

"I'm going to sleep on the couch. Edward, you can do whatever you want," Alice said.

"What do you want me to do?" Edward asked, looking at me.

"Can you stay in the room? You can have the bed if you want. I don't mind sleeping on the floor," I explained, feeling more like a child than anything.

"Silly, Bella. We can both share the bed. Is that okay with you?" he asked, making me even happier.

"Of course," I said. Why would I not want to share a bed with him?

"Okay, come on," Edward said, pulling my hand up. When I got up, he kissed me on the head.

After we said our goodnights, I quickly dozed off to sleep. I hope Edward didn't mind.

When I awoke, I looked over next to me to see if he was there. He was.

"Good morning beautiful," Edward sang, smiling. "How was your night?" His voice was like an angel.

"Mine was good. I'm glad you stayed. How was yours?" I asked, not knowing the song to complete it.

"I enjoyed it. One of the best nights that I have had," he said, smiling again. This time, he dazzled me.

We walked out the room to meet a very upset Alice. She seemed like something was wrong.

"What's wrong, Alice?" Edward ran to her side.

"The Volturi requested another meeting with us. They want to talk about what has been happening," Alice explained.

Edward seemed panic-stricken. I wondered what was going on with the latest events.

I leaned into Edward some more while Alice and Edward stared at each other, making me even more lost.

"When will this meeting be?" Edward asked, tightening his arm around me.

"Now. Jane should be coming soon," Alice replied.

Edward and Alice stayed still for a few minutes before a knock on the door broke them out of their reverie.

"Come in," Alice chimed.

Jane walked in, ushering us out the door.

"Wait," Jane said.

We turned to look at her, questions in Edward's eyes.

"The girl has to stay."

Kind of a cliffy? All will be answered soon... hopefully.

So, I hope you enjoyed the chapter... The story is starting to take on another part of the plot.

Next chapter: find out about what happened at the meeting, and the first week of the two weeks are going to end, so there will be another meeting (In Edward's point of view!!!). By my time line, the story should be about 19 chapters. It's on chapter 13 right now...

Leave me a review and let me know what you think... You may get a special surprise once I finish the chapter!!!

Also, to all the people living in the US (and other people if they want to celebrate it), have a Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you enjoy it wisely!!!!
