This was going to be a long night. I would not sleep much at all. Even with Edward there and me in the protective enclosure of his arms, with him humming to me.

Chapter 3 Freaking Out

Bella POV

After being at the Lizzie Borden house for a few hours with nothing happening, I was starting to relax a little. A very little. Edward kept me in his arms, still trying to calm me down. Alice actually sent Jasper in a few times to calm me down, but I would just get angry at her for intruding on our cuddle session and he would leave.

Edward rocked me back and forth in his arms as I was trying to keep from hyperventilating. He hummed my lullaby to try to soothe me but it wasn't helping for once. Except leaving this cursed place, I don't think much could help me. I have tried begging him to take me and run up to New Hampshire - and we could find a nice little hotel or cabin to stay at for the rest of the weekend - but he kept saying, "No, Bella, we can't. Alice will see and stop us. And Emmett will constantly tease you later." He had a point there. I always tried to avoid anything that could get me an unnecessary ribbing from Emmett.

I started to calm down again and looked up to see Jasper in the door way again. I smiled at him apologetically and he just smirked and loped lazily across the hall. When I was calm enough I sat up and gave Edward a kiss, then told him I was hungry. He came downstairs with me and we went out to a little restaurant where I ordered mushroom ravioli and, of course, Edward paid - he never let me buy anything anymore.

When we got back Edward had an expression on his face that told me he was focusing on thoughts. He stopped focusing and grimaced, but when he saw me watching him he quickly smiled.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing, love," he replied, "I was just checking to see if Alice and Rose planned on kidnapping you and taking you shopping." he smiled down at me and chuckled when I groaned.

"Do they plan on it?" I asked hesitantly, I really didn't want to know, but I had to.

He hesitated, "I don't know, Bella. They are blocking their thoughts again - but this time Alice is adding up all the digits of Pi and Rose is planning what her and Emmett will do tonight," Shudder. "And counting minutes backwards and forwards from 525,600."

I grimaced. That probably meant that they were planning on it or just trying to freak out Edward and get my mind off the ghosts and onto the other horror of shopping. I don't think either one is more horrifying than the other.

We went back up to out room and I decided I was tired enough to sleep but then I remembered where I was and panic overwhelmed me. I stumbled, thoughts of ghosts invading my mind, as I once again started hyperventilating. I felt Edward catch me before I slipped into the darkness of unconsciousness.

When I woke up again I was on a bed. This place was not at all familiar. I got up and looked out the open window. Woods surrounded the cabin that I appeared to be in. The air smelt of the fresh mountain air that can only be found in the New England region, especially New Hampshire and Maine. Edward was nowhere to be seen. I smelled omelets cooking just as I was starting to panic. Apparently someone - Edward? - was cooking me breakfast.

I walked out towards the smell of the omelets and saw Edward, placing an omelet on a plate, just like I thought. He heard me come in and he turned toward me.

"Morning, love," he murmured, smiling. He turned off the stove and put the pan in the sink. He brought the plate over to me and placed it down on the table then swept me up into his arms and kissed me. When he broke away from the kiss I whispered, "Morning, Edward." and he set me down and told me to eat some breakfast.

I obeyed and ate the omelet. It was delicious. "Hey, Eddie, this is pretty good for someone who doesn't eat," I said. He laughed and kissed my cheek, ruffling my hair.

"Thanks. But, you know I don't like it when you call me that," he growled. I laughed.

"Yes you do. You just don't want anybody else to call you Eddie so you tell me not to so other people won't catch on and call you Eddie too," I said and he thought about it for a minute.

"I suppose you are right about that and its only fair, I guess, since I call you 'love' you should probably have a pet name for me too…." he said then kissed my forehead and carried me back into the bedroom so I could get dressed.

I was wondering how we got here and why we were here but then I decided I didn't care because I was away from that horrible haunted place back there and I was with Edward and that was all that matters, today, anyway.
