Chapter Four

"Bella? Is that really you?" he asked quietly. I nodded softly. "Yeah, it's really me," I said feeling a rush of love, happiness and joy. He ran over to me and pulled me into his arms and placing kisses over my face.
"I am so sorry; I never meant what I said. I love you and I still do," he said holding me so tight that if I were still human I would have exploded in his arms. "I know; I figured it out after you left. I love you Edward!" I exclaimed hugging him as tight as I could. I heard him grunt because I was a lot stronger then him because of the dietary difference. He crushed his lips to mine and kissed me, harder and not as carefully as he did when I was human.
After a couple seconds someone cleared their throat. I looked over to my left to see the entire Cullen family staring at us with smiles telling us they were happy we were together again.
"Bella, no offence but who changed you?" Carlisle asked with a confused expression. I thought for a second before saying, "Victoria changed me. Not even an hour after Edward left me. I was so upset about Edward leaving, I pleaded her to kill me but she came up with another plan and so here we are," I explained quietly.
"I'll kill her!" Edward growled menacingly. I laughed humourlessly and said, "Not possible. She stuck around a bit too long so she could hear me screaming in pain for the three days. I caught up with her the day after I woke up and she will no longer be a problem to anyone".
"Way to go Bella!" Emmett hollered giving me a high five. I couldn't help but laugh at Emmett.
"Okay, okay, Edward, take Bella to your room, show her your bathroom and I'll go grab some clean clothes for Bella while she's showering," Alice instructed Edward as she ran out the door. Edward took my hand and pulled me upstairs. His room was the same as the one in Forks. There were lots of CDs, a sofa, a TV and a picture of a piano.
"So this is your room," I said quietly.
"No, this is our room," he said warmly placing an arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer. "I need to take a shower," I said softly after two minutes of just holding each other. Edward nodded and opened the bathroom door for me. "I'll see you in a few minutes, Mrs. Cullen," he purred softly. A grin came across my face when he called me that.
In the shower, I washed my hair with vanilla and strawberry cream shampoo and used the honey and berry body wash. I stepped out of the shower and put on the clothes Alice had placed on the sink.
I looked in the mirror and examined my face. My hair looked like I just did a shampoo commercial. My bright red shirt matched my bright red eyes and made them really stand out, which I really didn't like.
"Hello Love," Edward said as I stepped out of the bathroom. I smiled and said, "Hello to you too," I purred. Edward pulled me ibnto a full lip lock and held me there for fifteen minutes.
"Ahem," a voice in the hall said, snapping our attention to the hallway. Jasper was standing in the hall with an amused expression. "Yes, can I help you?" Edwrad said sarcastically.
"Yes, you can follow me to the jail house the humans call school, spend eight hours in a building with a bunch of humans who spend the day lusting over us," Jasper said equally sarcastic.
"Okay, c'mon Bella," Edward said quickly. A small bit of panic went through me and thankfully Jasper spoke what I was thinking. "Er, that may not be the… um… best idea," he said giving me an apologetic glance, "sorry Bells". I gave him a small smile and shrugged.
"Eddie boy, you can see your wife after school," Emmett called loudly upstairs. Edward gave me one last kiss and went out the door with Jasper. They left in Edward's Volvo towards the school. Alice came into the room and gave me a hug. "Don't worry, you'll be able to join them, someday," she said.
"How long will that be?" I asked quietly. Alice's eyes went blank and she said, "In about six years, maybe, with a lot of caution, ten years for safety". I nodded quietly. Rosalie said a quick goodbye and got in Alice's Porsche.
I went downstairs to the living room and sat down on the sofa. Carlisle came in and sat beside me. "Hey Bella, can we talk in my office?" he asked quietly. I nodded and followed him upstairs.
"Now from what Alice is telling me, you want to change your lifestyle and you want to be able to finish high school," he said, I nodded.
"Okay then. It'll be hard but I know you are strong and I know you can do it but it will still be very, very hard. We will start these changes as of immediately. Do you have any questions?" He asked in a very doctor like manor. I shook my head and said in a joking tone, "is this where I get a lollipop and a balloon?"
He laughed at that one. He stood up and walked out of the office. "I've got to go to work. I want you to stay near the house. Do not try hunting by yourself. You probably won't be able to do that by yourself for a very long time," he said as he left.
Downstairs, Esme was watching Sell This House. "Hey, do you want to help me with some painting?" she asked standing up. I nodded and followed her outside.
