Chapter 4

BPOV

"I didn't want to be alone."

His words kept repeating over and over in my mind. I didn't know whether to hit him or kiss him. He was either the most unselfish person ever or the most selfish person ever. I couldn't decide which. Edward just looked so sad when he said it. He seemed almost terrified that he would never find someone that he could actually share his life with.

Either way it sounded like he wants to give up his abilities just so that he can fit in with what the general public says is normal. Giving up his abilities just so he can have a girlfriend and someday a wife is so selfish on his part, but giving them up if it meant keeping that person wasn't.

"Edward…I'm sorry you..," I just trailed off. Did he just say what I think he said? He didn't want to be alone? He didn't say he doesn't want to be alone.

He lifted his head up to look at me and I was almost blown away by the shear amount of hope in his eyes.

"Bella, I destroyed my ship because I didn't want to become a monster. I know that with the powers I have that I could do some terrible things. Jor-El told me that humans are weak and that he sent me here to more or less rule them, to show them the light if you will. I was supposed to leave my parents and go on some sort of mission for Jor-El; the things he had told me infuriated me.

Lionel Luthor made a key exactly like mine, except it was made out of Kryptonite. He wanted so badly to know the secrets of the caves that I discovered. Anyways, I stole the key from him and put it in my ship. It worked of course, but I should have known better than to try and destroy it so close to anything really. In the beginning I got rid of my ship so that I wouldn't have to listen to Jor-El, I knew that he could make me do what he wanted, or become a monster. In the end, I became that monster anyways. When the ship exploded it sent a concussion wave out, my parents were driving home from town, it flipped there truck and my mother lost the baby she was carrying.

Since, I found out who I was I have been trying to deny it. I don't want to be a bad person or do bad things to the people on Earth. I always just figured that if I didn't have my powers then I wouldn't cause so much drama to everyone. I know that I can do wonderful things and help a lot of people, but at the time all I could think about was the fact that I didn't want to be alone. I'm hoping now that I have met you that maybe I won't ever have to be. Having you in my life will make things so much easier.

It will be especially nice not to have to hide everything about myself from everyone. My parents and Alice know of course, but it's not the same. You can understand what it's like to feel out of place in the world and like you don't truly fit." Edward finished. It seemed like he just let go of every ounce of tension he had been holding onto for all these years.

"Edward, you will never be alone again. I had a lot of the same fears as well. I was a little more worried about every finding a guy that I could actually be with. I know that guys prefer to be the physically stronger partner in a relationship and I knew that unless I found someone like me that would never happen. Girls want a guy that is stronger than them; guys really don't like it the opposite way." Now that we are talking I realize how depressed I must have really been.

"Just so you know Bella, I'm a hell of a lot stronger than you. In fact, I'd venture a guess that I'm even more powerful all around than you." That cocky bastard.

"Really fucking funny, I didn't realize that Edward Cullen had jokes. I'll take the bait though. How about we have a little race? If I win I get to gloat for as long as I want about being faster than you and if you win you get to keep your mouth shut because you'll just sound pathetic if you brag about beating a girl? Deal?" I asked with way more confidence than I was actually feeling.

"Hmm…those terms are pretty weak. That's not much incentive for me to want to race at all. How about the loser has to do the winner's chores for them every day for a week? That includes all the farm chores and our show steers as well. How does that sound?" He said that like he knew for a fact that he could beat me in a race, like I thought earlier; cocky bastard.

"Fine, but if I win I still get to brag that I beat you in a race, "I winked at him. "So where do you want to race to anyways? It would be nice to know where I will be doing my victory dance after all." Damn! I must be feeding off of his personality or something, I'm never this cocky.

"First person to the North Pole wins. Are you up for it?"

"Let's go! Do we have a starting point or do you just want to say 1-2-3-Go from here?" I wondered. I have never been that far north before. I always prefer to go south when I need time alone to think, the weather is so much more enjoyable.

"On the count of three just go Bella. Ready?" He asked.

I could only nod in the affirmative. I was honestly really nervous about his.

"1-2-3-GO!" He yelled.

We both took off like a bullet from a gun into the night. We ran through Nebraska, South and North Dakota, and Canada. This was amazing. The landscapes up here were beautiful. I was so concerned with what I was doing that I had no idea where he might be at. I let my hearing roam out as far as I could to try and get a location on him, but I had no idea where he was. Not even thirty seconds later I was standing on top of the world.

I couldn't believe it! This was so surreal. It was absolutely beautiful up here. Huge mountains were covered with snow and the ground was frozen solid. The air was crisp and fresh. It was so amazing up here. I finally realized that I didn't see Edward anywhere and I was about to start gloating until I took a look at the ground.

Hundreds upon hundreds of snow angels were on the ground and they appeared to spell something. I crouched down and jumped as high as I could into the air to see what it said. Once I was high enough to see the whole message I looked down and what I read made my blood boil.

"Swan, sorry for not sticking around to gloat over my obvious victory, but there is a situation I need to take care of. I'll see you later!"

He has to be the most arrogant, egotistical, cocky, gorgeous, sexy, damn Bella, snap out of it. Before I could stop myself I was melting the snow where he had left his message. I guess thinking about how wonderful Edward looks isn't conducive to keeping my heat vision in check. I wonder what in the hell happened that he had to leave so suddenly. He better have a damn good excuse for leaving me in the Arctic all by my lonesome.

I guess it doesn't really matter now anyways. I better head back home before mom and dad start freaking out. With one last look at the winter wonderland spread around me I turned on my heels and headed south.

EPOV

The one time I am actually having a blast and can completely be myself with another person a crisis comes up. I had just pulled ahead of Bella right over the Canadian border when I got a text message from Alice. I didn't want to lose the race and have to do extra chores so I ran even faster than I already was. It only took me about 2 minutes to actually reach the North Pole.

I checked the text that Alice had sent and knew that I had better get back before she ended up in more danger than she already was. I just had to let Bella know that she had lost before I left. I had a quick bout of inspiration and decided to make snow angels into a message for her. I'm sure that it would piss her off enough to melt them before she comes back.

I knew I should have gone to the Homecoming dance tonight. Only in Smallville would there be some deranged meteor freak that wants revenge on the whole school because she didn't win Homecoming Queen last year. This is starting to get a bit ridiculous. I can't even have one night to myself without having to swoop in and save the day.

It's not that I mind saving people, since all the meteor infected people are that way because of me. It just really bothers me that none of these people around here have the decency to actually use the powers they have for good.

Oh well. Right now I need to concentrate on stopping whatever is going on and probably be ready to face the wrath of a beautiful brunette. I know that she can handle herself, but my whole life I have been so used to having to do everything alone that I never really gave much thought to asking her to help me.

When I arrived at the high school gymnasium I used my x-ray vision to look inside to see the best possible way to go in and I couldn't believe my eyes. Claudia had locked all of the exits from the gym and apparently flooded the room with water. Everyone in there was waist deep in the freezing cold.

I listened in with my super-hearing and what she was saying was insane. She was going to freeze everyone to death and keep them in the gym as her prisoners, just because she didn't win homecoming queen last year. I am seriously starting to question the sanity of the people in this town. I know the meteor rocks affected people, but they had to have been crazy before that.

I can ponder the craziness that is this town and its population later. I rush forward to pull the doors open, but I am beat to it.

"You didn't think that I was going to let you have all the fun, did you?" Bella snarked at me.

"Whatever I say is going to come out wrong, I can guarantee it. So how about we just get everyone out of there and you can yell at me later? Deal?"

"That sounds fair enough, but you will be helping me do all the chores now. I'm not some weak, little girl that you have to protect all the time. I can handle myself." She retorted.

"After you then, ma'am. You can open the doors and save the day, I don't really care we just need to get everyone out of there before they become popsicles." I said.

Bella reached her hand out and grabbed the handle. She yanked and the door came completely off the hinges. I had an idea on how to get rid of all the water, but I was afraid that it might actually cook the people in it, so instead of using my newfound heat vision to evaporate it I quickly pulled Bella out of the way and let the water rush forward, along with all the students.

"I need to ask you something. Do you care if Alice knows about you? I know that any minute now she is going to come over here and want to know what took me so long to get here and I hate to have to lie to her." I was honestly nervous about her answer. I know that I didn't really know Bella all that well yet, but there was something boiling just under the surface that made me feel like I knew her better than anyone.

"It's fine Edward. If you say that you can trust her, then I believe you and I know that I can trust her as well. Do you think it would be okay if we told her later though? I would really like to finish talking to you. There is something really important that I need to tell you. I don't think that I can wait much longer to get his off of my chest." She seemed nervous about whatever it is that needs to say to me.

"Okay…let me just make sure she is alright first and then we can head back to the loft." I replied.

Alice came bouncing over a few seconds later and I tried really hard not to laugh at her but she looked like a drowned cat. Her usual spiky, black hair was matted down on her head and the makeup she had on was running down her face. It was quite the sight to see.

"Good grief Alice, I didn't know that the theme for the dance was 'Under the Sea'!" I couldn't help myself I started laughing so hard that I almost couldn't catch my breath and that's saying something for me.

"Ha ha ha! Laugh it up! I wouldn't look like this if you hadn't taken your sweet ass time in getting here. I'm just glad you got here when you did or I would be a frozen treat right about now. Where were you anyways? I thought that you would come to the dance for sure after tonight's victory. What could you have been doing that was so important anyways?" Alice fired off without taking breath.

"Listen, I'll explain later Alice. I have some stuff I need to do first. We can get together tomorrow and talk about it. I'm just glad that you're okay. But if you want a cryptic answer that you will no doubt think about all night I can give you that." I remarked with a grin.

"No! Just get out of here and tell me all about it tomorrow. I need to go get cleaned up and then I have a story to write. Have fun doing whatever it is that you have been doing. See you tomorrow."

"Bye Alice!"

I took off as quickly as I could without anyone noticing my disappearing act. I made it back home in no time and made my way up to my loft. I don't know what else Bella could possibly have to say to me, but she seemed somewhat nervous about it. I just hope that she wasn't about to bite my head off for what I did in the Arctic.

Bella was pacing back and forth in front of the window and seemed to be in deep thought. She seemed to be having an internal struggle of some sort. It was almost as if what she had to tell me could completely change everything I have ever known, I didn't know how to feel about that.

"Bella, would you stop pacing and please tell me whatever it is that you are struggling with. It can't be that bad. Unless of course you are going to say that everything you have told me is a lie that is." I knew that wasn't true, but I was hoping that it would at least get her attention.

"No, no! I haven't lied. It's just that well, what I have to say is a little strange to be honest and I don't know how well you are going to take it. I always thought that when I finally did meet the other Kryptonian that he would already have more knowledge than you do. It would have made this so much easier, because now it's going to sound like I'm trying to trap you or something along those lines…"

"Bella!"

"it's just that I know what my biological father said and he said that your biological father…"

"Bella!"

"would have told you the same thing, but knowing you don't have your ship anymore means that…"

"Bella!"

"he can't have told you that when Kryptonian's meet the person they are destined to be with that.."

"BELLA! Shut up!" I yelled.

"Hmm…?" She seemed confused.

"What the hell are you going off at the mouth about? Your father said that my father said? What? Krytonians do what when they meet their soul mate? Please slow down and just tell me everything please. I won't be mad, I won't look at you differently. Just tell me." I spoke as calmly as I could at the moment. I was honestly starting to get a little freaked out about the whole 'destined' and 'soul mates' thing.

"Sorry! What I have been trying to say is that when our kind meets the person they are meant to spend their lives with strange things can start to happen after they kiss. At least, that is what happens on Earth. If those two people kiss it tends to make them either go forward or backwards in time; it takes them to the point that they need to be to be able to start their journey together.

I know that this is really strange and believe me I'm not sure that I buy into it yet. I just know that you and I are meant to be. I'm sorry to lay this all out there like that but I have been trying to figure out the best way to tell you without freaking you out and having you run away or quick me out.

I also had to tell you before you kissed me and we transported to a different time. I just didn't want you to be confused as to why that happened. I'm not saying that you want to kiss me or anything like that and also wherever we could get transported all of our memories of what we would have done during that time would be there for us and everyone else on the planet." I don't think that Bella took one breath throughout her whole monologue.

I'm not sure what to think about this though. We are meant to be together. Does this mean that I don't have a choice on who I love? She seems more knowledgeable about all of this, but she doesn't exactly seem thrilled with the idea that our fates are already intertwined.

"So does this mean that if we kiss we automatically fall in love and have the memories of it?" I had to know, because honestly it was taking everything I had not to go and kiss her right this second.

"As far as I know yes. Edward, I understand that you probably don't believe me and don't even want to kiss me in the first place. I just had to let you know all of this..."

I didn't let her finish. I don't really care what happens as long as I get to kiss her. I rushed over and grabbed the tops of her arms. She looked up at me in shock. I leaned down ever so slowly, giving her the chance to back out if she wanted to, but she leaned up on her toes and when our lips finally did meet it was amazing.

I wanted to stand there and enjoy every inch of her mouth. It was pure heaven and hell all rolled into one amazing kiss, but before we could get any further there was a blinding white light and we ended up in the last place I thought we would be sent.

Well, I hope you all enjoyed that chapter! Sorry for the cliffy, but it was just easier to leave it here. Please leave me a review and let me know what you think!
