A/N: I gotta thank my friend, EdwardAnthonyMasonCullen LOVER for helping me make up my mind on what would happen in this chapter! Thanks a lot!

Now, on to the story...


I was lying on a towel at the beach in La Push. It was one of those rare days when the sun shines, I was wearing a simple baby-blue one piece, and I wanted to soak up every little ray I could. I heard foot steps coming towards me and turned my head. Edward was coming. I smiled as he layed down beside me.

"Do you love me, Edward?" I asked, after a moments hesitation.

"Of course I do, Bella... why do you ask?"

"Well, because..."

"Because..." He prompted.

"I don't want you to leave me!" I blurted out. He chuckled and wrapped his ice-cold arms around me.

"Don't worry, Love, I won't leave you... I'll just eat you!" And with that he sank his razor sharp teeth into my neck.

I woke up screaming.

Jacob rushed into the room. "Whats wrong Bella?!" He paused for a minute to take in my position, sitting upright in the bed with the blanket balled up in my hands and hair plastered to my face from sweat, and his facial features relaxed. "Oh," he chuckled, "Only a dream... You had me real worried there for a minute!" He walked over, reached out, and brushed my hair away from my face. "What the..."

"Um... whats wrong?" I asked, "And why am I in a bed? Wasn't I on the floor in your bathroom?" I waved my hand in front of his face. "Jake? Hellooooo? Earth to Jacob!" I grabbed his shoulders and shook him violently until he snapped out of it.

"Whoa... sorry. But go look in a mirror, Bells. Wow..." A mirror? Why the hell did he want me to look in a mirror? I gave him an odd look and jumped out of the bed, heading to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror.

"Holy shit! Jake! Whats wrong with my face?!" There were intricate designs all over my two cheeks. Perfectly symmetrical. In the middle it looked like a newly budding rose, then what I assumed were vines rolled out in every direction, down to my chin, my eyes, and the corners of my mouth. It was all in a shade of deep pink. I stared in amazment at my new tatoos, then remembered the cut on my face. I looked for it, but the only thing I saw was the beautiful mark... right where the cut used to be. Thats odd, I thought to myself, cuts like that don't heal so fast... but I guess its not every day you get pink vines all over your face, either. I laughed to myself, then went back to the room I was in before.

"its so beautiful, Bella." Jake said in awe. "You have any idea how it happened?"

"I'm kinda guessing it was that cut. Its gone. Totally gone. Look." I walked over to Jake so he could see my cheek better.

"Wow..." he mumbled, tracing the pattern of my tatoo. "Amazing." He cupped my sheeck in his hand. "Just amazing." I blushed and he yelped in pain, yanking his hand away from me. "Jeez, Bella! What the hell was that?"

"What was what? I never did anything!" Jacob shoved his hand in my face.

"Yes, you did. Look!" My mouth dropped open. His hand was burned, in the exact same pattern of my tatoo.

"What. The. Hell. I have no idea what I just did. But, uh... sorry?" I gave him an odd look, which he returned.

"Okay... I have an idea." Before I could ask what that idea was, he crashed his lips into mine. Surprised as I was, I still blushed furiously, causing him to jump away from me, yelping in pain, again.

"Ow... Okay, I was right." He rubbed his cheek.

"Right about what?"

"When you blush, your tatoo heats up like crazy. Check out my cheek." He let his hand drop to his side and I gasped. The same as his hand, his face had a burn print of my tatoo on it.

"Holy... Sorry, Jake! I didn't try it!"

"Haha... Its okay Bella. I just had to know." He smiled. "So, how about we get you something to eat and maybe ask Dad about that mark of yours?"

"Sure, just hang on a-- Ahhhh! Ow!" I screamed. The tatoo burned like a wild fire on my face and it started to spread down my neck. I fell to the floor screaming. "Burning! Jake! Ahhh! Stop!" It kept spreading and was now to my fingertips. I heard Jacob gasp and run. What was wrong with me?
