Chapter 13

BPOV

We headed back into the house. Edward was all but wrapped around me, his eyes darting back and forth. It must be driving him crazy, not being able to trust his gift. Everyone was waiting for us in the living room.

"Only you could have a vampire stalker Bella." Emmett laughed.

"Ha, ha Emmett. I swear to monkeys, if you were not so big I would take you down." I said.

"Swear to what? Monkeys? What are you twelve?" Emmett chuckled.

"I already have a first class seat to hell, so why make it any worse by cursing the Big Guy out. I swear to monkeys instead." I retorted.

"So when Edward finally rocks your world, will we hear you call out 'Oh monkeys'?" He snickered.

Rosalie smashed him in the face with a pillow, and feathers flew everywhere. I could not help but laugh. Poor helpless pillow.

I decided to just ignore his comments and turned towards Carlisle.

"Do you have a minute to look at my shoulder? It feels a little tight." I asked

"Not a problem Bella. Let's go into my office." He said, rising from his spot on the couch.

Edward made a move to come with me, but I put my hand on his arm. "No, stay here and fill everyone in. I'll be fine."

He nodded his head, and I released his arm, following Carlisle down the hall. As soon as the door was closed I went to his desk and grabbed a pen and paper off of the surface. He came over, curious as to what I was doing. I started writing.

Can you keep your thoughts from Edward?

He shook his head yes.

He refuses to use me as bait to get to this stalker vampire. That would be the fastest way to flush him out. We can't be worried about him and trying to deal with the Volturi stuff all at the same time.

He took the pen from me.

Bella, he will not let us put you in danger. There has to be another way.

I put my hand out for the pen, which he placed in my palm.

If you won't help, I will do it on my own.

He huffed and finally nodded his head.

Fine. I will take the others out hunting later and explain your plan to them.

I nodded and ripped the sheet off, balling it up and throwing it in the trash can. I allowed Carlisle to check out my shoulder, cause that shit actually was hurting a bit. He gave me some pain pills and we headed out of the office so I could get a drink.

He went into the kitchen and I wandered over towards the living room. Everyone was still there, trying to clean up the feather explosion. I happened to look out the front window as I passed and saw a brown cardboard box. Excited that it could be one of the clothes deliveries, I ran to the front door.

"Alice, some of my new clothes came!" I shouted as I ran down the steps. The second I got to the package I froze, realizing that we had just placed those orders and there was no way anything could have gotten here already.

"Bella, no!" I heard Alice scream from inside, seconds before I was imprisoned in a set of steel arms. I did not have a chance to yell as we started to move. He threw me over his shoulder, and took off running through the woods.

"Well that was easier than I thought." My captor chuckled.

I tried to wiggle free, but soon gave that up as I realized I would only succeed in giving myself bruises. There was no way I could escape, but I had to slow him down someway to give the Cullens time to catch up. What did he want me for? My blood. Ok, well then I'll give it to him. I curled my good hand into a fist and punched his back as hard as I could, hoping to split the skin of my knuckles. The blinding pain in my hand signaled my success and I could feel our movements slow.

"Oh, you little tease. Why would you go and do that?" He whined as he set me down next to a fallen log. He immediately grabbed my hand, bringing it up to his mouth. I bit down on the inside of my cheek to repress a shutter as his tongue snaked out to trace the blood coating my fingers. I could totally get off if it was Edward doing this, but this guy was totally skeevy. Plus he was trying to kidnap and probably kill me.

I could feel more than hear Edward's approach. Blondie was too obsessed with giving my fingers a spit bath to notice and I hoped he would be distracted long enough for Edward to make a move. I still was worried for his safety, even though he said he was indestructible. Finally all traces of my blood were gone, leaving only a tingling sensation behind. He looked up into my face, his crimson eyes intense.

"I was going to take you back and share, but now I think I will just have to keep you all to myself. I do wish you would fear me a little more, makes you taste so much better." He said, giving my hand a squeeze. He lowered his head down towards my wrist and my heart rate jumped, but not in fear from this vampire. I was scared I would never get to see Edward again and tell him how important he had become to me.

I opened my mouth to say the words, hoping he would hear me. I had barely gotten the 'Edward' out when I was suddenly free. I would see Edward standing behind Blondie, squeezing his neck. It looked like his head would explode like a huge zit. I wanted to stay and see if white puss would squirt out, but Emmett gathered me up and took off running towards the house.

"Well kid, you sure are a magnet for trouble." He laughed as he galloped through the woods.

"Yeah, you keep finding me don't ya." I replied, shaking in his arms as the shock of what happened set in. He tightened his grip and ran faster.

Rosalie and Esme were standing on the porch as we returned. Emmett dumped me unceremoniously on the steps and took off running back into the trees. The girls rushed down to help me up, bringing me back into the house. "Where is everyone else?" I asked, trying to keep the tremor out of my voice.

"They stayed to try and get some info from that bottle blond." Rosalie said. "Don't worry, they should have him in pieces by now."

You can always count on Rosalie to tell it like it is. I did not want to think about that, so I tried to stop the quaking that was ravaging my body. Esme wrapped her long arms around me, but that only made it worse and I started to shiver from the cold. I started laughing hysterically, my body trying to deal with the shit storm I had just gone through. I could feel the tears streaming down my face and rubbed the back of my hand across my face, smearing snot, tears and blood all over my cheek. Both girls jumped back, distancing themselves from me and my bloody face. I got up, still laughing/sobbing and went up the stairs to try and clean up. No need to tempt the fates any further by taunting my gory goodness in front of the vamps.

I washed my face off one handed and attempted to wrap a clean sock around my knuckles. I was still chuckling when someone knocked on the door. I answered the door and found a haggard looking Carlisle standing there with his doctor bag. I doubled over in giggles as I realized that he would never be able to go back to work. He could make a full time job just taking care of my clumsy ass.

He guided me over to the bed and helped me lay down. "You sure are accident prone, aren't you?" He said while bandaging my hand.

"Where is Edward? Is Blondie dead? Did anyone get hurt? Where is Edward?" I asked, hysteria creeping into my voice again.

"Edward is fine, everyone is fine. Well except for your abductor. We were able to get some information out of him before Edward got a little crazy." He admitted.

I relaxed back into the bed, thankful that everyone was fine. My body was quickly running out of energy and I wanted to see Edward before I collapsed into dreamland. My wish was answered as he came through the door seconds later.

"Is she ok?" He quietly asked Carlisle. They shared a silent conversation and Edward nodded grimly.

"You promised not to keep me out of the loop anymore." I demanded, fatigue slurring my words.

"So sorry precious girl. Everything is fine. I will explain after you have rested. Are you feeling all right?" He questioned.

"Ugh, everything hurts. I could really use an ice pack, for my whole body. You want to be considered for the job?" I asked, wiggling my eyebrows.

He snorted, shaking his head. "Yes, I can do that for you. Just let me get you another pain pill, I will be right back."

I closed my eyes as Carlisle finished wrapping my hand. He used a styptic pencil to make sure my wounds were closed, no need to tempt the vampires with fresh blood. I checked out for a minute and when I opened my eyes, I was met by a pair of golden ones. I had been so worried I would never get the chance to tell him how I felt. I vaulted up and wrapped my arms around his solid neck. His arms immediately cradled me against his chest, his face pressed into my neck.

"I was so scared." I whispered. "I was scared I would never see you again."

"I have never been so frightened before. He took off so fast, if you had not distracted him we would have never caught up." He said, his voice husky. "How did you get him to stop?"

"Ugh, I punched him." I said, ducking my head further into his chest.

"You did what?" He asked.

"I punched his back so my skin would break open. I figured he would have a hard time ignoring my blood. It hurt like hell but what can I say, I had an adrenaline rush. It's very common. You can Google it." I said quickly.

He growled against my neck, "You are always getting hurt around me. How am I ever going to be able to protect you?"

"We make quite a pair. You are immortal and I am taunting death at every turn." I said, trying to get a laugh out of him.

"It is not funny Bella. I am not sure I would be able to go on if something happened to you. You are my life now."

I pulled back so I could look him in the eyes. "Don't you realize Edward, I feel the same way."

"Are you afraid of being with me?"

"I'm only afraid of losing you." I said, happy that I could finally admit it.

"You don't know how long I've waited for you." He said as he slowly lowered us to the bed, his cool body covering mine as I drifted off to sleep.
