Author's Note

Well, first of all. Review! Review! Review!

I refuse to update without 10 more reviews.

And some views on my other story.

I swear it's not just Edward kicking butt. That'd be boring.

Also, it's gonna be really slow from now on. As I predicted, Softball's taken over my life. And when I'm not playing softball I'm either doing homework or hanging out with peeps. Sorry, guys!

.:Keith's Point of View:.

"Bella, you and I met when you were young. Ten, in fact…

She is so beautiful. I can't place my finger on it, but something about her is just so…so wonderful. Her eyes. Her smile. The cute little way she tugs on her ponytail when she's thinking hard.

I first saw this girl when she was playing on a playground. I had just finished hunting, and was returning to my house for the weekend. I was slowing to a human pace when she caught my eye—and my nose. Her blood had a light, sweet odor. It was pleasant.

I found myself obsessed with this little girl. I would follow her when I was off of work. I would even watch her sleep sometimes. It was because of this obsession that when she was falling from the tree she had tried to climb, I ran to catch her.

Thud! She lands in my arms, stunned that she isn't on the ground. The girl looks up at me.

"Th–thank you, sir," she manages after a second. She moves to leave my arms but she froze. I look down and see the pain in her eyes. It was only then that I realize she probably broke a lot of bones landing in my hard arms. I swiftly take her to my car and lay her in the backseat.

"What's your full name?" I ask as I speed towards the hospital.

Silence comes from the backseat. "Your name?!"

"Isabella Swan."

"What about your parent's name? Or phone number?"

Silence greets me from the backseat again. "Isabella?" I say. Still no answer. I look back to see if something's wrong and I discover she has passed out! I press the accelerator closer to the floor. I have no idea what's wrong with my little Isabella–Wait…did I just think that? I don't even know the girl! I watch her, yes, but mine??

I mentally sigh and park my car outside of the emergency room. I pick little Isabella up and rush her inside. Everyone instantly looks up at me as I enter, and take her to an unoccupied room. I direct the nurses and her files are pulled and her mother contacted.

"She was in critical condition and had to be taken for an MRI. Bella had internal bleeding and several broken ribs. She was rushed to surgery, her organs repaired, and she was but in the ICU," Keith said. "Bella had a lot of ribs broken, so she had to be kept in the hospital. Naturally, I was her doctor, and we got to know each other. One day I decided to tell her my true nature…and things went down hill from there.

Why did I tell her? She's ten! I should have known she would tell someone. And now everything is ruined. Bella, as I now learned to call her, was out of the hospital and told her mom I was a vampire. Renee flipped and sent her to a very good psychiatrist. I was also barred from seeing her.

--Several Months Later--

There she is. Playing on the playground again. I have to see her.

"Bella?" I say. "Remember me?"

She screws up her face and shakes her head. Clearly she is scared of me. I back away, shocked she can't remember me, and turn to run. They had erased all memory of me. They have to pay.

"And that's the story," I finished. "That's why she can't remember me. Bella has a distorted version of those few months, all because of the shrink"

.:Edward's Point of View:.

I listened to Keith's story. Totally shocked that this had happened to my Bella. But, I had to admit it made sense. Bella had no problem believing my family and I were vampires. Most people would have called us crazy and laughed at us. But not Bella. She accepted it like it was normal, and continued on associating with us.

But then it dawned on me: this doesn't explain why Keith came to see Bella again.

"Why have you come back after all this time?" I asked him.

"Because I think I love her. And I hope she could love me back," he replied after a moment's thought. I glanced at Bella, trying to read her expression. It was blank, unmoving. She turned to whisper in my ear.

"Let him go," she said. "He needs to leave right now." I nodded solemnly and unshackled Keith.

"Go," I said. "Don't come back for a few days." Keith nodded and flew off into the night. Bella walked over to the bed and collapsed, crying.

"It all makes sense," she managed. "For years I thought about why that part of my life didn't make sense. It tormented me. I even became suicidal at one point because of it. And, now–" Bella cried until she fell asleep.

Bella woke up; her eyes were puffy and red from crying. Hearing Keith's story really traumatized her. If I had known this would have happened I would never have let him stay. And worst of all, I now had another competitor. If I lost Bella now, after all we've been through and done together, I'd never be able to survive.

"Good morning, beautiful." I said. I had a feeling she wanted today to be like Keith hadn't come and completely shaken her life up.

"Good morning." She smiled up at me and moved to kiss me softly. I deliberately didn't let this turn into more; she must be hungry.

"What would you like for breakfast?"

"Mmm…you," she answered into my skin.

"You can have me for desert…after dinner," I teased. Bella pouted and thought for a second.

"Can I have pancakes?"

"Sure! Let's go." I lifted Bella up gently and carried her downstairs to the kitchen. I looked into the cupboard and pulled out what I needed. I set to work making the pancake batter from scratch.

"Do you want chocolate chips or blueberries in it?"

"Can I have only one with chocolate chips, and the rest plain?"

"Whatever you like," I said, smiling. I separated one bit of pancake batter for the chocolate chips and stirred them in. I turned on the stove and placed a pan on it. I made the pancakes, heated up the syrup, and placed it all on the dining table for Bella. She ate quickly and we were off to Charlie's house, as I had promised to him after taking her home from the hospital yesterday.

Ten minutes later we arrived and began doing our homework together. Well, Bella did hers. I finished quickly and helped her along. Charlie returned just as we finished and declared he was starving. I offered to make lunch and he all but jumped up and down with glee; Charlie loved my cooking.

"What do you want me to make?"

"Surprise me." Was his answer.

I nodded, "Bella, come to the grocery store with me?"

"Sure, Edward," she replied. We jumped into my car and sped off to get some chicken, steak, and seasoning.

"Charlie, can I take Bella out for a little hike? We've both finished our homework," I asked politely.

"Edward," he began, "if Bella can still walk after all that food, be my guest. I'm gonna go watch the game." Charlie walked to the living room and turned on the television.

"C'mon, Bella," I said pleasantly. She held out her hand for me to take it.

"Where are we going?" she asked when we were finally in the car.

"It's a surprise," I replied. Her eyes twinkled with anticipation as we sped down a back road. We emerged in front of a small lake with a cottage off to the side. Bella gasped a little at the beauty of the scene before us. "Your pink and blue bathing suit is in the back. Change and meet me in the water," I said before laving the car. I pulled off my shirt and jeans, revealing my swimming shorts. I dove into the water and surfaced at the other end of it. Then I swam back, taking a nice, easy human pace. I swam around for a bit until Bella exited the car, flushed pink. I smiled at my little trick on her. The bathing suit had a thong bottom. I could see her attempt to enter the water without showing her behind to me and laughed a bit at it.

"Like your swim suit?" I joked.

"No!" she shot back. "It's so revealing!"

"Turn around, let me see. It's just a normal bathing suit," I said, playing the innocent card. Bella was so gullible she believed it and turned around, baring her ass to me. I gasped a little and moved to encircle her with my arms. I turned her around and pressed my lips to her ear. "I think you look wonderful. Of course, we could always just lose the clothes." I said quietly and seductively. She flushed pinker and giggled a bit. I allowed her to break out of my grasp and go under, swimming towards the opposite side of the lake. The water was crystal clear and offered me an unobstructed view of her ass. I quickly got a hard on and willed the cool water to make it fall faster. Bella surfaced a few yards away and flipped her hair back. As she dove in again I dove after her, tickling her until she had to come up for air. She shot me an annoyed glance and dunked me under. I came up after a few seconds and poked her. She laughed and thrashed about, finally pushing off of my stomach and swimming towards the cabin. I waited silently till she was a few feet from the shore then beat her there. I pulled her out of the water and swung her around in a circle, water was flying in every direction. She laughed and smiled at me. I put her down and kissed her softly. Bella pulled me down to the ground and positioned herself on top of me. She smiled seductively at me and took off her top, followed by her bottoms. Bella glanced back and me and splashed back into the water. I followed her lead, but pulled her out of the water and into the cabin. I closed and locked the door, then led her to the bedroom.

I climbed on top of her and whispered in her ear, "Wanna do something special for me?" She nodded excitedly. I walked over to the little locked cabinet a few feet away and pulled out some bed restraints. I glanced at the clock on my way back. I let out a mental sigh of relief. It was only one. I could keep her here for a couple of hours and Charlie wouldn't get worried. I walked back to the bed and tied Bella onto it…
