Chapter 6

Landing in the bay of Ketchikan was an experience in it own. Edward held me close as the planes platoon runners hit the icy water with the gentlest touch. We ferried into the harbor and waited patiently to off load, I was in a hurry. I wanted out of the stupid little plane, to be away from the pilot, and to be alone with Edward.

Edward thanked the pilot for the ninth time as he took the luggage from his sweaty palms.

"Thanks" I managed, my hand probable crushing Edwards. We hurried away from the dock and walked into the middle of the town. The old, timely train station caught my eye, it was quaint with its red and gold sign.

The only locals store in town, was where we stopped. Edward left me outside, unafraid I would that I would kill someone, there was no one to kill. The town outside of tourist season was deserted, no one filled the small streets, the shops were boarded up, and the only people in the saloon were the winter watchmen.

Edward came out with some keys, he stooped to pick up the luggage and we were off. Finally. One key fit an ATV, that must have belonged to Edward previously, the other I assumed to the cabin we were going to stay in.

Edward strapped down the suitcase and looked up to stare me in the face.

"You ready?" He asked on hand extended to help me onto the ATV.

"It about time" I answered taking his hand and seating myself behind him. I wrapped my arms tightly around his waist fully expecting him to push the machine to its limits. I was right, the vehicle strained when Edward gunned it to its maximum speed.

Just when I thought the ATV was going to explode Edward eased off on its gas intake. Slowly the Woodsy Cabin came into view. It had three or four windows, a metal door and a never been used chimney. The shrubs surrounding the cabin were knee high and the trees grew close to the side wall.

"Welcome to the love shack" Edward teased flashing me the wicked grin I was now growing accustomed to .

"Very funny" I joked back.

Edward helped me off the exhausted vehicle and went to unlock the door of the love shack. I walked the perimeter of the yard, curious about every sound and new smell to cross my path.

Edward was behind me, his hands resting on my hips. He kissed my neck, and I turned to face him. I ran my fingers through his hair allowing them to gradually migrate to his shoulders. Edward pulled me close and we remained silent and motionless.

Edward pushed me back and looked into my eyes, his were filled with a sorrowful happiness.

"How many times do I have to tell you, I love being a vampire." I stated trying desperately to let it sink in.

"Its not that" He sighed and broke his gaze, looking off into the woods.

"What?"

"Its just that, I know your hungry, and I'm just... just..." He stuttered.

"Just what?" I asked once again claiming his stare.

"I don't know if I'm ready to let you run wild, with the bears."

"I have you, don't I?" I asked raising one eyebrow.

"Well, I don't want you getting hurt, you have to start small."

"SMALL" I complained, "I"m a big girl I can handle more than small."

"Not if your afraid of blood. The bigger the bloodier" He was joking now. "But promise me, small at first."

"Ugh.." I started, but he finished.

"Only at first, and I'll make it worth you while." He laughed leaving me and entering the woods. I ran off after him.

"What do you mean worth my while?"

He laughed and let me catch up to him. We raced through the woods for awhile and I became accustomed to the smells.

Edward stopped and I followed suit. Gracefully, a doe emerged from the clearing. Edward must have been searching as I raced behind him completely unaware.

My senses took over and I as gone, I couldn't even hear Edward snicker from the tree he was leaning against. I was totally focused on the unsuspecting deer in my tunnel vision. The strike was clean and mess free, a first for me.

Edward moved closer to me, probably to keep watch, but my body told me he was a threat. Unknowingly I uttered a low growl, slightly muffled by the warm, fresh blood trickling down my throat and neck.

Edward backed up understanding and not wanting to get in a fight with his new bride. Personally I think it was because I could kick his but.

The onslaught of wilderness creatures strayed close to nightfall. When I finally got my fill, I snapped out of my trance, like being awakened by a magician in a strange place.

Edward was patient though, we ran back to the cabin at full speed. I could out run Edward, and he seemed unashamed of that fact.

Edward shut the door and jumped onto the bed close to where I was sitting. He flipped over to rest his head in my lap.

"You ready for your treat?" He looked up smiling.

"Do I want it?" I asked suspicious.

"I would hope so" He laughed back, "Close your eyes." I closed them and let myself fall back on the bed. I felt the edges of Edwards shirt land at my side. Surprised, I opened my eyes to find Edward shirtless at the foot of the bed.

"You cheated" He accused.

"I know," I smiled his wicked grin, " I couldn't wait."

Edward took that as his invitation and crawled onto the bed pining me down in the process. "Finally, you're a little more durable."

The end for now.. I've got a 10 page paper due for English. And I don't want to leave anybody hangin'.

See ya'll soon
