Disclaimer: I don't own it.

Sorry it took me awhile, but I have school at the moment. And I'm still grounded!

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Chapter 22

I was tense in Edward's arms as he followed Felix. I would flinch everytime he glanced at me, I was still quite afraid of the little shindig that occured earlier. Trying very hard, I kept my breathing even hoping he wouldn't notice anything.

I noticed that there were less trees and I could hear cars ahead. Edward trudged out into the open and I noticed two black cars parked by the road. Felix halted and whipped around, his eyes scanning Edward cautiously.

"I'll take this one, and Avalon will drive you with the other" He explained in annoyance, motioning to the cars. Edward narrowed his eyes at him and nodded stiffly. I was hurt that Edward even agreed to going with these bastards. I mean... damn!

Felix opened the car door and pointed into the car. "Get in" He ordered bitterly.

I looked up at Edward, biting my bottom lip. "You can put me down now.." I said in a whisper, not able to speak out loud. Edward looked down at me and I stifled a gasp. I suddenly noticed that his eyes were a dark color. This made me fearful as he set me back on my feet.

Felix stabbed a finger into the car once again, unwillingly I slid in. The car let out a flowery aroma, making me more alert. Noticing Edward was beginning to get in, I slid to the farthest right, pushing myself against the car door. Edward stayed on his side of the seat, his hands clenched into fists on his lap. The door was slammed shut and I was alone with Edward in the back.

I couldn't see the driver, a black glass was preventing me from seeing him. "Seatbelt" Edward said gently, startling me. With a shaky hand, I clasped the seatbelt across my chest. Pulling my legs against my chest, I layed my head on my knees.

"Sorry.." Edward murmured so quietly, I couldn't tell if I was imaginging it.

I don't know why I'm so scared of him, I've never been so afraid of somebody. I knew it had something to do with the killing the vampire earlier, but the way his eyes were so dark I knew he was hungry.

--o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

I guess I fell asleep, cause the next thing I knew we were finding a parking space at the airport. "Ow..." I groaned, my neck was stiff and my head was on top of something cold and hard. It was like a rock.

"Wake up Melody.." I heard Edward mutter, and he sounded too close. I snapped my eyes open and looked up to the "angelic" face of my father.

"Gah!" I yelped, shooting up and slamming my head against the car's roof.

"Don't hurt yourself" Edward surpressed a smile. I scowled as I rubbed my forehead, "How did I get so close?" I said frostily.

"Don't look at me, you squirmed your way over..." Edward shrugged, "Mumbling at the same time"

I turned my head around to face him slowly, a death glare set on my face. "Whatthehaildidyouhear?!" I said quickly and bitterly. (A.N. No... I did mean to spell hell that way! My asian homies and I say it that way!)

Edward smirked at me, "You said Daddy quite a few times whenever you got closer to my lap" He chuckled enjoying the moment.

"Nuh-uh!" I cried, shaking my head and the car came to a sudden stop. Edward nodded chuckling darkly. The car door behind me opened and Felix appeared, his dark robe off. I didn't bother looking at his outfit, as I got out.

I mumbled something unintelligent as I stood behind the car, waiting for Edward. "Come" Came Felix's commanding voice.

He led us toward the airport and absentmindedly, I held onto Edward's arm. Edward stiffened beside me and his eyes landed on mine. "Your not scared anymore?" He asked, I could tell he was both hopeful and curious.

I bit my bottom lip as I stared ahead, "I guess not.." I muttered and I felt him loosen his arm gently. I guess I deserved that, I thought, stuffing my hands into my pockets. Not knowing what to do with them.

"I'm glad" Edward stated softly, putting his arm around me and pulling me closer. He kissed my hair and we kept walking. I was suddenly aware that I could read the people's minds around me. Cool, I haven't used my purple eye in awhile.

We entered the cold airport and Felix ordered us to stay put. I stared after his graceful retreating form as he entered the Employee's only room. Which made me suddenly suspicious. I'm also curious to where Avalon is, but then again I didn't even get a glimpse of the guy.

Edward leaned against the wall, his arm still around me. Who is that god-like creature over there? I heard some woman think, I whipped my head to the right alert. I spotted her in line for plane tickets. Her eyes landed on mine and she glared at me, That must be his girlfriend, no wonder she's gorgeous herself She thought in disgust.

I felt my face get warmer and warmer, "Tramp" I hissed and I heard Edward chuckled above me. I was about to open my mouth to ask him if he heard her too, but...

"Um... Excuse me?" A stunningly beautiful teen brunette was in front of him. I glowered at her, it was as if she didn't notice me standing next to him!

"Yes?" Edward responded coolly, and she seemed to melt from his voice. Your actually talking to her? I asked Edward with my mind. Edward gave me a shrug, pulling me against him tighter. Just let her down easy... I told him.

"Well... My flight was coming for another t-two hours and I was wondering if you would grab some coffee with me?" She asked, hope twinkling in her eyes. I gawked at her, who knew she had the guts to ask?

I looked up at my father and he seemed to be in deep thought. "Sure" He shrugged, and I heard the girl squeal in delight.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" I screamed, slipping away from his arm. Eventually, all eyes were on me.
