Disclaimer: Me no own book.

I just read Eclipse (Reading Breaking Dawn Next), that's why I didn't update sooner. And because I'm grounded... Anyway, I hate Bella with passion in the book. I hate the fact she keeps wanting to be a vampire and that bothered me the whole freakin' time! Anywhooo I still love Twilight, but I think I'm Team Jacob now.. I think.. Or may Team Switzerland.

Cheer up and dry your damp eyes and tell me when it rains
And I'll blend up that rainbow above you and shoot it through your veins
Cuz your heart has a lack of color and we should've known
That we'd grow up sooner or later cuz we wasted all our free time alone

Your nerves gather with the altitude
Exhale the stress so you don't come unglued
Somewhere there is a happy affair, a ghost of a good mood
Wide eyed, panic on the getaway
The high tide could take me so far away
VCR's and motorcars unite on the Seventh Day
A popular gauge will measure the rage of the new Post-Modern Age
Cuz somewhere along the line all the decades align

Rainbow Veins, by Owl City

Chapter 20

Edward told me that we were meeting in the woods, and he had to sneak me out. "Come here" He ordered, holding his arms out.

I made a face, "You are not jumping me through that window" I snapped, folding my arms across my chest.

"And why not?" He demanded, rolling his eyes and striding towards me. Before I could open my mouth, Edward's arms slinked around me and my head was suddenly nestled against it's shoulder. Dear God, it's like hugging a giant ice cube!

I tried picking my head up, but his icy hand was pressing it down gently. "Let go of me... AHHHHH!" I screamed in horror when Edward jumped out. My cheek slammed onto his shoulder and my head throbbed from pain.

"Your not making sneaking out easy darling" Edward chuckled, patting my back softly. "Would you like me to proceed carrying you?"

"That hurt..." I moaned, "And your cold!" I complained, a dizzy feeling coming over me. I heard Edward sigh heavily and I felt bad for giving him a hard time. His hands took hold of my shoulders and tried pulling me off, but my I wrapped my arms around him.

It felt weird, but it also felt good. I really missed him.

"Don't you want to stand now?" He questioned, raising an eyebrow at me.

"No, my head hurts" I mumbled, resting my head on his shoulder.

"Alright then, darling, you better hold on" He chuckled, putting his arms around me protectively.

"I already am.." I muttered and I felt him bolt towards the forest. The wind colliding with my back and whistling through my hair. My eyes drooped and I let out a yawn sleepily. I was just slipping under when Edward came to halt.

"Sorry love, but you have to walk now." He whispered into my hair. I let out a low groan in response, to sleepy do answer. He pulled me off and placed me beside him. His arm rested around my shoulders and I leaned against him.

I forced my eyes open and saw that were in the forest. A guy with with black hair and blood red eyes, was standing in front of us. He bared his teeth at me, and Edward's hold tightened on me.

Who is that? I asked Edward with my thoughts.

"A Newborn, and he wants you" Edward responded, his eyes narrowing at the boy.

"What do you want?" Edward demanded, as if he already didn't know that.

"Her" The guy responded, stabbing a finger my way. My breathe came out ragged and sharp, as my heart beat thumped in my ear, louder and louder.

"You are not going anywhere near her" Edward hissed, "What are you doing here anyway?"

"I got thirsty" He shrugged in response, eyeing me hungrily.

"Go find another meal somewhere else, you are not going anywhere near here!" Edward growled protectively, pushing me behind me.

I leaned to the side to see the guy still looking at me, his eyes intense. He roared and leapt at Edward, Edward's hand came around and pushed me into a tree. Slamming against it, I saw Edward swiftly block every move the new born made.

With one wrong move from the new born, Edward bolted around him and BAM! Edward was tearing him apart like paper, my eyes widened with each of his moves. The parts dropped like stones on the ground and a finger was hurtled towards me, and I ducked. It hit the tree, just as I dropped to the ground. Other parts layed inches away from me and I felt sick to my stomach.

I looked up to see Edward, gathering wood and placing them on pine cones. "D-d-d..." My teeth were chattering, but not because I was cold, because I was afraid.

I staggered to my feet and I ran to the nearest tree that had no white rocks surrounding it. I stood towards Edward as my arms hugged the tree behind me. Edward dashed around picking the white stones and chucking them into the fire.

I flinched everytime he was inches away from me. My nose wrinkled at the strong smell that overcame me. In a matter of minutes Edward was finished and he was watching the fire blaze in satisfaction.

"D-d-d-ad?" I sputtered breathlessly. His eyes landed on me and horror flashed before it.

"Melody, sweetie, can you come towards me?" He asked, coming over slowly. I shook my head vigorously, as he got closer and closer. I was terrified at the violence that my eyes just witnessed, Bella told me about an experience like this. But she wasn't afraid at Edward, but I was...

"D-d-don't go near m-me" I stuttered, pushing myself against the tree hoping I would disappear.

"Darling, it's alright, there's nothing to be afraid of" He said softly, his hand reaching towards me.

That's when I took off like a rabbit that was being chased by a lion.
