Sorry it has been so long... I have not been feeling well… but who cares right? Lol We just want our honey-haired god!

Carlisle POV

I could not believe my eyes as I stared at the dark haired beauty in the seat next to me, my car staying in perfectly in the center of the road and not wavering an inch; she was mine… all mine. The ceremony had been short and sweet, with both of us pledging our love to each other for eternity, in front of a justice of the peace. When she whispered the word yes, my heart jumped, just as it did the very first time I caught her hand, except she was the one to catch me and keep me from falling into an infinity of loneliness and I would be grateful forever. I kissed her hard once the judge said we were formally man and wife and both Rose and Emmett let out cheers of joy for us, having stood in as our witnesses. They showered Isabella with hugs and kisses and Emmett gave me a slap on the back that should have sent a human through the nearest plywood wall.

I could not keep the smile off of my face, "Well, Mrs. Cullen… I like the way that sounds… Mrs. Cullen." I rolled the words over my tongue… they vibrated in my soul in the most amazing way.

"I do like the sound of that… Mrs. Isabella Cullen," her heart accelerated, her cheeks turning a lovely shade of pink. "I guess it will take some getting used to. I'll be the only senior in school that had a husband at graduation! I just cannot believe that we are married; it seems too good to be true. I just wish that Alice could have been there." Her face dropped, I knew that she missed her friend, but Alice and Jasper needed to be alone, to work things out, if they could.

"Knowing Alice, she probably already saw it and is horrified that she didn't get to pick out the dress or plan any of it." I joked; I wanted her to be as happy as I was right now. I wished that all of my family had been there. I even wished Edward had been there, I missed him, the Edward that had been in our family before he snapped. I guess I was still mourning the past.

"Did she say anything before she left? Anything at all?" I could feel the momentary sadness in her heart.

"Nothing of great consequence," I'll be damned to hell before I mentioned Jasper; I still wanted to put my fist through his skull. "Someday soon, when you choose to be a vampire, we will renew our vows in front of our entire family. There are some extended members, from Alaska and Italy, who would very much like to be there for that event."

"You realize what will happen if we let Alice loose on that?" she giggled. The sky was beginning to dull, the gray clouds darkened as shadows crept into the road from the forest line. The day had been long for her and I knew she was tired.

"And what are we going to tell Charlie? I don't think he'll take it very well… he does own a gun, you know."

"I may not be superman, but I think I can take a bullet," I laughed. "It is one of the perks to being a vampire; super hard skin."

"Please, superman has nothing on you." She gave me a smile that made my stomach feel like it was going to quiver. I was glad that Emmett and Rose had gone hunting, they wouldn't be more than five minutes away… just in case of Edward… so she and I would have some privacy for the night.

"I don't think we should tell him just yet, maybe in a few days, I still feel like I need some time to get use to that fact that you are Mrs. Carlisle Cullen." I raised my hand to her cheek, brushing her flushed skin softly against my cold stone, the blood thrumming just under her delicate skin…Oh, God! Her scent is killing me!

I was complete now… there was only one piece of the puzzle missing… I wanted her to become a vampire. She had never really expressed much interest in it… maybe one lifetime was enough for her and that would be fine with me, I would just join her the moment her heart stopped beating, without a second thought.

"Isabella… do you trust me?" I raised my eyebrow, the pointed question effectively wiping the smile off her face.

"Yes, of course."

"How much do you trust me?"

She laughed lightly "What is this Carlisle? I trust you enough that I would let you drink my blood if it were to save your life… you wouldn't kill me… I trust you completely."

I slammed on the brakes as hard as I could, my arm braced Isabella as her body was flung forward in the seat and a hard rush of air escaped her chest. I tore at my belt, not bothering to unbuckle, and was out the door before I could do something stupid. I could feel the beast in me pulling at my sanity as I let out a roar, the nearest tree suffering as I tore it to pieces with my bare hands. It was so easy… like ripping paper. How easy it would be to tear at her delicate flesh…

Does she even realize? The thought had been gnawing at the edges of my mind since last night…

I hear her approach and before she could get any closer I darted back to the car, placing it between us for her safety. Her dark eyes were confused and a bit hurt; this was not how things should be right after we got married!

I took two deep breaths of fresh air; I could smell her, but only a little. "Isabella…" my voice was deep and husky as I struggle with the animal within. She took a step forward but I motioned for her to stop… and I could feel her apprehension and her yearning to understand.

"Don't ever say anything like that again! Don't tempt me to do it! Do you know what I could do to you?" I was hissing by now, the anger, not at her, but at myself, was rolling off me in droves. "Last night… with Jasper… your blood was the most delicious this I had ever tasted… the first time I had tasted a human… I can't get it out of my head! It's been so hard to control…"

I could see the color drain from her face, turning a sickly shade of white… and as if to torture me more her heart began pumping faster…calling to the beast inside of me.

"Oh God, Isabella! Why do you think I want to become a vampire as soon? Not just to protect you from others… but to protect you from myself!" I was growling, my body vibrating at the open invitation. I took another deep breath and pushed with all my strength at the monster inside…

"I'm sorry, Carlisle. I didn't know," she whispered in a small voice as she cast her eyes to the ground, her shoulders slouching. The beast was back in the cage and I moved quickly to her side, my concrete arms enclosing her as tightly as I could without breaking her.

"No. I am sorry. This is the last thing I wanted on the day you agreed to be my wife; my instincts taking over. I just want you happy and safe… if I did something to hurt you I would never forgive myself." I murmured in her ear and I felt her body shiver at the intimate contact. I smiled against her neck.

"So you do want to turn me… it was not just panic from this morning?" her tone was a bit sharp… but I guess I deserved it.

"No, my love. You forever and ever; that is all I want. So, as soon as you are ready I will change you." I pressed my cold lips against the thrumming vein in her neck and she shivered again as her skin scaled my lips.

Her arms snaked their way around my waist, her heat burning through my light clothes as she pressed her body against mine, her tender lips reaching up to mine… How did she always know just what to do to turn me into putty in her arms? I could feel her sudden shift in emotions and it shocked me a little… I wondered if she was responding to the instincts in me as I caught up to her fierce desire instantly.

Her tongue traced my cold lips and I obliged her by opening my mouth, my own tongue dancing against hers lightly. She tasted sweet and luscious, her flavor now like an addiction to me… I didn't know if I could go more than a day without her delicious essence. She moaned into my mouth as I pulled her deeper.

Her heart began racing, the blood pumping through it fast and strong, each beat calling to me… inviting me in and I snarled as I tried to beat the vampire back into submission. There was only one thing that could distract me from the delicious scent of her life-giving liquid… I didn't waste any time… I swiftly pinned her to the hood of the car, wrapping her silky legs around me, her hot center pressed against my straining pants.

My hands slid beneath the hem of her skirt and carefully tugged at the fabric of her panties and I felt her smile against my mouth as she felt them slide down her legs. It was a shame that only the panties could have come off, the cumbersome cloth was blocking me from her glorious creamy body. I knew I could have easily torn them off of her, but I knew that she would be embarrassed to go back to my house completely nude, even if Emmett and Rose were gone!

I could feel her need… her swollen sex throbbing against me, begging me to enter her. Oh, God! What if a car came by? What if was her father? Somehow the though drove me further, the idea that we could get caught by someone made my shaft so hard I that I could feel the cloth tearing as I stood straight to attention, bursting through the zipper with ease.

I slid into her slick warmth with one solid thrust and I my head rolled back with a groan. Isabella grabbed my hips, trying to pull me in further, and I let her. My thick member sheathed itself inside of her to the hilt; I could feel the softness of my love thrumming around me and I waited.

I watched with complete fascination as her face turned from pleasure to frustration…God that was sexy… as she tried to grind her hips against me. "Carlisle… Come on! Please!" she begged, her voice nearly breaking in the end.

I took only a moment more to tease her before pulling out and thrusting had into her again. Her hips met mine and she let out a satisfied grunt. I didn't wait as I moved faster and faster, my fingers digging into her hips, probably to the point of pain…. but she didn't complain as I drove into her. Her nails clawed at my back and I growled into her ear, the vampire in me practically purring for my mate. My knees pushed into the hood of the car, the metal giving way under my pressure as I tried to get gently closer to my love…. Better the car than her!

Suddenly my instincts were on overdrive… My eyes scanned the forest looking for danger. My ears ranged out, trying to hear what I could not see. There was danger there… I just couldn't tell from where. I could feel the threat… but I couldn't stop myself from pushing into her… as if to show the danger that I did not fear it…. She was mine and I would do what I wanted with her, nothing would stop me. I snarled as loudly as I could… the vampire released… challenging the danger to step forward.

I pulled her closer, my tongue tracing the creamy skin of her neck, my breath caressing her flesh, my scent marking her. I knew it was out there, the danger, but I did not fear it, not with her by my side… I could take on anything as long as she was here to make me whole! Her body was shaking against mine, her voice whimpering my name… I could feel my body go rigid as my seed spilled into her… her channel drawing in every last thick drop as I shuttered. She clung to me, her body still humming with pleasure, as the vampire haze cleared from my mind.

I had hoped that what I felt was at least partly hidden from her as I didn't want her to be scared. I slid out of her carefully, her eyes meeting mine as I carried her carefully to the passenger seat, her chocolate brow orbs shining with happiness. She was forever my love. But I could not stop to revel in the magic of it, I could still feel the danger, and I needed to get her out of here and back to safety. I swiftly drove her back to my house out of danger… away from who I knew was there… away from Edward.

Bella POV

Lord I hated school! It was just more time that I could not spend with Carlisle. Sometimes it felt like a complete waste. All I wanted to do was to be by his side, to have his strong arms wrapped around me, making me feel safe and loved. I still was having a difficult time with the idea that I was his wife. It was not a bad idea, the thought gave me pleasure every time it crossed my mind, and it just seemed hard to believe. I was so afraid that I would wake up from this wonderful dream and find myself alone.

It was a little weird being at school without Alice and Jasper. I missed her black hair bobbing up and down as she always seemed to dance with excitement. Jasper… well, that was just awkward. I liked him as a friend and I missed his brotherly teasing, but now that I looked back maybe it was not so brotherly. I hoped that he had just been acting out on instinct and that when they returned things would go back to normal.

The lights in the school were too bright today; the fluorescent bulbs hummed at me like an angry set of bees. I tried not to focus on them and distract myself with the tedious classes before me, but their noise was incessant, just like the chatter of Jessica and Mike. They went through the subject of prom with a fine tooth comb and I knew it was just a matter of time before she would bombard me with questions about my relationship with Carlisle. I could see the distain seething from Jessica's face and Mike was shooting me questioning glances. I knew he still like me a bit and that Jess had been a bit jealous, especially when he gave me those gooey eyed looks. Angela sat near me like a guard throughout the entire morning, warding off the subject by steering them into other conversations. I was happy Angela was there and that she supported me, maybe I should get to know her a little better before I became a vampire.

I knew that Rose and Emmett would be waiting for me in the gym for lunch and the rest of my classes would be with them, so naturally, because of their alien beauty, Jessica and Mike would avoid talking with me. The lunch bell rang and I darted out the door with Angela next to me. The smell of tater tots assaulted my nose and the greasy food make me instantly nauseated. I could feel the color begin to drain from my face.

"How's things going?" she asked shyly, avoiding the issue that was on everyone's minds.

I didn't want to lie to her, she has been supportive. "Things are good. Prom was a blast!"

"Yes, I had a good time, too. And how is your Dad?"

"He had his hands full with the kids that partied too much," I laughed, trying to keep my stomach in check. I needed a soda.

"Are you alright? You look pale. Maybe we should get you to Carlisle?" she whispered to me. I could feel the hallway beginning to sway. Not now!

"Oh, yes. Your beloved Carlisle!" I heard an annoying nasal voice chirp behind me. "So when did you begin banging the doctor?" Jessica raised a critical eyebrow to me.

"Leave her alone, Jess." Angela warned. I could feel the sweat breaking out on my forehead. I needed to sit down and I was not in the mood to be bothered by this chit! Damn those lights were bright!

"What? Edward wasn't enough for you so you had to make your way through the family?" she sneered.

"Go bother someone who cares! I don't have to answer to you!" I muttered, less forcefully than I would have liked to, but I was afraid that if I raised my voice I would not be able to hold my stomach. I could feel a sort of glee inside of me, a funny amusement; Carlisle was getting a kick out of my annoyance!

"And I saw you leave the prom with Jasper. What was up with that?" she couldn't keep her insinuating voice at a quite level, steadily rising with every word. "I noticed he and Alice aren't here today so, what did you do?"

"Mind your own business, Jess." I growled lowly, trying not to open my mouth and lose my meager breakfast.

"Oh, I see…. Was he a good fuck? Who is next? Emmett? Mike?" her shrill voice was loud enough that a crowd had formed and I could see teachers moving down the hallway to see what was causing such a commotion. I could even see Emmett and Rose at the other end, trying to get to me at a human pace. I could see the worry in Rose's face… her eyes told me that I looked as bad as I felt.

"How 'bout the whole football team?" I couldn't hold back any more. My eyes clouded into tunnel vision, red blurring out everything but her frame. And I moved in towards that frame, my fist lashing out faster than I thought possible, and connected with her pretty little nose. Her body was knocked backwards into the wall, the blood rushing down her face, staining her white blouse. God that felt good!

"Shut your face you bitch!" I screamed at her. "I am no fucking whore! That would be your department from the stories that I have heard!"

I couldn't hold myself together any longer… I could feel the bile rising in my throat and the tunnel vision completely covered my eyes and turned black and I fell into nothingness.

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

There was something wrong with my head. It felt painful and chilly. There was something pressing on my forehead, but could not find the strength in my arms to reach my hand up and remove the pressure. My eyes fluttered open to those damn annoying lights, making the cream-painted cinder blocks glow an unusual orange.

"Finally!" I heard an exasperated voice sigh. The school nurse sat in a chair next to me. I was lying on a hard uncomfortable medical bed in the nurse's office, a flat pillow beneath my head, and an icepack on my skin. "You have been out for awhile, young lady, nearly twenty minutes. I was about ready to call the ambulance and have them take you to the hospital."

I wish they would have called the ambulance… I would have seen Carlisle. "As it is the principle is waiting to speak to you, so I need to get him. Stay here and drink this," she said firmly as she handed me bottled water.

I waited with the cold icepack still on my head; I didn't feel like moving it even though it hurt my skin. I counted the seconds on the clock… tick, tick, tick… I wondered how much trouble I was in. I felt completely justified in what I did. Jessica completely deserved the broken nose I hoped I had given her. However, I knew that they did not take violence lightly here. I could smell the vomit on my shirt and I stopped myself from looking down at the mess I had made, just in case the look would bring up more from my stomach. Someone, probably the nurse, had cleaned up my mouth and tried to clean my faceoff, but I could feel the sticky mess on me. I moved my head carefully to sip at the water. It felt good going down, the coolness quenching the ache in my belly. I waited for almost a full ten minutes before the principle came in, his bulging belly brushing the door frame as he entered and shut the door behind him.

"Well, Miss Swan. I must say that I am surprised at your actions. What will your father say?"

Charlie? Oh, crap! The chief's daughter getting in a fight at school! In a large town this would just blow over easily, but here in this small town… it would be the topic of conversation in all the houses. He would certainly hear about it… and then I would hear about it! Ugh!

"Now, I talked to Miss Webber and some other students. They all told me that Jessica was to blame and that she started the whole thing. Now, while that may be the case, I will not tolerate physical violence on my campus. You are suspended from school for two days, not including today. Jessica has the same punishment and I suggest you both avoid another altercation or I will not hesitate to keep you both from walking at the graduation ceremony. Is that understood?" I nodded my head weakly, I got off better than I had expected! "You are to collect your things and leave here immediately. The nurse thinks you should head home and make sure to drink plenty of fluids."

He left me to collect myself and I headed into the hallway as soon as I felt the remaining dizziness steady. How could I let this happen? I needed to keep my emotions in check. I had noticed that many of my moods seemed to have intensified after mating with Carlisle, but it still didn't excuse my reaction to her petty jealousy.

Classes were already started and my vampire friends must be occupied, because I didn't see them anywhere. I knew that Charlie was at work, so I didn't have to face him yet. Carlisle was busy at the hospital so I really had nowhere in particular to be. I collected my books from my locker, the door sticking like always, and I heaved the bag onto my back. Instantly I felt a fresh wave of nausea. I ran for the bathroom as fast as my shaking legs would carry me, throwing the stall door open before I collapsed in front of the white porcelain seat. Damn virus! Rose had made me try a century egg and now it had made me sick!

I grabbed my abdomen as my stomach tried to empty the non-existent contents into the bowl, wracking me with pain over and over. I could feel the tears streaming down my face and feel my nose running. My body was shaking as the heaves subsided, but now I was too hot and the bathroom felt like it was suffocating me.

I stumbled to my feet and felt my way to the window, my eyes still blurred with salty tears. I twisted the locks and used all my strength to push the glass open, but chipped white paint had glued the pane shut. I gave it one more shove, but it was useless. I rested my head against the cool glass; the feel was refreshing against my fevered flesh. I heard a slight cracking sound, but the noise didn't register as anything unusual. I heard it again and pulled my head from the glass to see where it was coming from. Abruptly the window flew open, the glass shattering into a thousand fragments as the sheet was slammed into the upper frame. I covered my face as the glass rained down on me, my arms trying to protect me from the shards.

I could smell something odd, like vanilla and musk, and it made my stomach lurch. I peered from behind my arms, hoping in some way they could protect me, but knowing it was useless. My eyes met his blood red ones and my heart dropped. His smile was meant to be reassuring, he looked at me was though he were a hero rescuing the damsel in distress… before I could scream, before I could even take a step back he had me pulled through the window and wrapped securely in his arms.

"That was almost too easy. You are safe now. I will not let him hurt you anymore," Edward's velvet voice dripped in my ear as the tears began to flow again.

Short… I know! But I had to set up for the next pretty dark chapter. Eddy is back for a while now! Bwwhahahaha! Please read and review!
