What was I supposed to do? I was travelling in a moving vehicle with 3 vampires that are highly dangerous, so jumping out of the care wouldn't work, that would only end in more tragedy. I couldn't exactly confront him either, what was I supposed to say? Hey Edward I know what you are, please don't kill me- yeah that was bound to go well. He didn't seem like he wanted to kill me, I mean he did go out of his way to save my life, but he was a vampire for good sake I couldn't exactly stick around hoping for the best, I had to run, to get away.

So it was settled as soon as this car stops I run, no he wasn't stupid and I wasn't fast enough to out run a vampire, I mean i'm not really sure what vampires could do beyond drink peoples blood, but i'm sure it wouldn't really take much to catch up to me.

"Bella?" Edward asked again the worry on his face increasing since I didn't respond to him the first time

I decided to stay quite, pretend I didn't know what he was… this isn't going to work well i'm a horrible actor, but still I have to try.

"how long till we get there?" I asked pretending nothing had happened.

"about five minutes" Edward responded, he still had a worried look on his face , I guess he must of saw through me as easily as I saw through myself.

I simply nodded my head and turned to look back out the window. I could still feel that Edward was staring at me but I couldn't take notice, I had to come up with a plan to get away once we arrived at the village, I decided that I would make up some excuse to go to the bathroom or something and once I was out of sight I would run for it.

The car had barely even stopped before I started to open my door, it was like my plan had disappeared altogether as soon as the door was open I ran for it, I knew it was stupid, I mean if they didn't catch me then I was bound to fall over and then they would catch up and probably kill me because of my stupid and idiotic attempt to escape.

I barley got 10 metres before I tripped over my own feet, I braced myself for impact, but instead I felt two strong arms around my waist, I gasped and instantly started to struggle against him. Despite my struggles he held me closer, it wasn't long before I realised that I wasn't going anywhere so I stoped struggling and fell, well at least I would have feel if Edward wasn't holding onto me.

He picked me up bridal style and walked me back over to the car where Alice was, but the blond man that was driving was gone.

"please… I didn't do anything to you… please don't kill me" I pleaded

Edward froze his expression was shocked, "why would you think I would want to kill you Bella?" he asked shock still evident on his face.

"don't you?" I asked shock now the expression on my face

"Bella, I told you that I would never hurt you"

"yes, but that was before I realised what you were" I never meant to say this out loud, so naturally I tried to cover up my mistake and again pleaded for my life " but don't worry I wont tell anyone, I promise, please, please don't kill me I swear I wont tell anyone you're a vampire" my voice broke on the last word and I couldn't hold in my tears any longer. Edward pulled me against his chest and I faintly remember chanting please over and over again between my sobs.

I must of drifted off to sleep because when I woke up I had no idea where I was. I got out of the bed and walked over to the window, but before I could reach the window I heard someone speaking, I turned around to see who it was. Edward was standing in the door way with a worried look on his face.

"how are you feeling?" he asked me.

" I don't really know, I mean I guess everything just caught up with me and I just went into shock" I said noticing how hoarse my voice sounded.

"I wouldn't blame you, I mean its not every day that you get attacked by a group of vampires and live to tell the tale" he said with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. I smiled back.

"I guess that means that you really aren't going to kill me" I said as I watched his faint smile disappear.

"Bella, you don't have to worry about me, I promise you that I will keep you safe, and alive for that matter" he said, the intensity of his voice stunned me momentarily.

I smiled "you know Edward you might have your work cut out for you trying to keep me safe, i'm the kind of person that just attracts danger, but i'm sure you already figured that out"

He smiled back at me "yes actually I have already figured that one out"

"Bella" said the familiar voice of Alice "how are you feeling?" she asked as she appeared next to Edward.

"fine now, thanks to Edward and now that I seemed to of grasped the fact that none of you are going to eat me" I replied and smiled at her and she laughed back.

"well the good news is that we were able to track down your tour group, but the bad news is that they have already left the country to go home" Alice told me.

" oh umm then I guess I can go own my own…." I said.

"don't be ridiculous, we will go with you" Alice said.

"no really, you already done so much for me, besides i'm perfectly able to go home on my own" I said.

"yes, but didn't you hear me say that I would keep you safe?" Edward said.

"really Edward, i'm sure I will be fine, how many more life threatening situations could I get into?"

"none, because I wont let you out of my sight" he said in a stern but beautiful voice.

I sighed "fine then"

Alice squealed and ran up to me and gave me a bone crushing hug. I huffed as I had the air knocked out of me and then I chuckled.

"this will be great, we will have to go shopping together before we leave and then I can take you to…" Alice said in a rush but I cut her off the moment I registered the word shopping.

"oh no, no way am I going shopping" I exclaimed.

Alice frowned, "and why not?" she asked giving me puppy dog eyes.

I huffed "because shopping would have to be one of the most inhumane forms of torture that I have ever experienced" I said.

"oh Bella, trust me it will be great" she said as she gave me another puppy dog pout.

"Edward you promised to keep me safe right?" I asked.

"right" he said clearly confused by my question.

"then back me up here" I exclaimed.

He chuckled and it was one of the most beautiful sounds in the world. "Bella, this hardly counts for a life threatening situation" he said in his beautiful voice.

"so much of a hero you turned out to be" I huffed as I turned to face Alice "fine, you win, but I warn you, I will not come easily" I said.

"oh yes you will" she said with an evil grin on her face.

I scowled at her and she smiled even more widely, it was actually quite frightening.

"here I got you some clothes you can change into, oh and hows your wrist?" Alice asked.

I hadn't noticed till now that my wrist was strapped into an elastic cast, I didn't even hurt anymore but then again being as clumsy as I am and a danger magnet I learn to deal with injuries well.

"oh um fine I guess" I replied.

"here" Alice handed me some clothes and her and Edward left the room to give me some privacy. I got changed into a beautiful dark blue dress and I light jacket that fit beautifully with the dress. I opened the door and walked out, Edward and Alice were waiting in the room it looked like they were having some sort of silent conversation, I shrugged it off, must be a vampire thing I thought.

I smiled at them when they both looked my way.

"wonderful, oh, you look great by the way" Alice said as she walked over to me.

"uh thanks"

"shall we" Edward asked and he extended his hand to me which I took a little too eagerly.

Edward was driving and I was in the passenger seat while Alice was babbling away in the back seat.

"so Bella, where are you from?" Alice asked me and Edward turned to look at me.

"America" I answered, well actually it sounded a bit more like a question.

Edward chuckled and Alice raised her eyebrows "yes but where abouts in America?" she asked.

"oh um no where in particular, I travel a lot with my mum and step father" I answered.

"are they here as well" Edward asked me.

"no, I came to Italy on my own" I answered.

"what about you, where are you from" I asked.

Edward chuckled and answered "no where in particular."

The questions continued all throughout our shopping trip, which was actually not that bad. When we got back to the hotel we were staying at we went inside and I sat down in an armchair. I turned around to look at the others, well mostly Edward but I was surprised when I saw that he had a look of pure horror on his face.

"he changed his mind, there're coming for her" Alice whispered.
