CHAPTER 12: Tour excerpt

I was about to leave when she said, "Can you stay with me?"

"Of course Bella" I responded as I turned off the light and went to lie next to her. She snuggled into my chest and quickly fell asleep.

CHAPTER 13: Childish Hunting

Edward's POV

That was the first night I heard Bella talk in her sleep, without it being a nightmare. "Edward…" then she snuggled into me and I could have sworn she was awake, but then she continued to talk, "hum…I love strawberry ice cream…I love strawberries in general… do you want one…no whip cream…but what will you eat them with…I wouldn't mind that…" she moaned a little and I guessed what she was dreaming about, I chuckled but I was confused, how could a girl who was abused think like that after such little time? Or had it been longer than I believed?

She pulled herself up on top of my chest and I froze, had I woken her? She snuggled into me and began to talk again, "How old are you… I wish I was like you… I could protect myself…" tears began to fall from her closed eyes, I pulled her closer and she continued, "…he wouldn't hurt me any more…" and it continued; she would speak for an hour turn and change what she was talking about. I held her close when tears fell down her eyes and wondered if she knew that she cried in her sleep. Whenever she began to shiver I'd turn up the heat, when she would stop I would tone it down a little but I never quite turned it off.

When the sun began to rise I got up and quickly shut the curtains, then returned to her side, as I lay down next to her I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, my eyes where pitch black. I wondered when I had last hunted. Bella had been in the hospital for three days, and before that I hadn't wanted to miss school because I had wanted to see her so it had been a week since I had hunted, so it had been ten days since I had last hunted. Using my powers this constantly had taken more energy out of me, I knew when she awoke I would have to go hunting, for her safety, and my sanity.

At around seven am she began to mumble into my chest, "Is it morning already?" thinking that she was having a new dream I didn't answer, "Edward, is it morning already?"

"Oh your awake?" I asked

"I'm talking aren't I?" she responded

"Well yea but, ummm… Bella did you know you talk in your sleep?" I asked looking into her eyes

"No I don't," she responded confused

"Yes you do, I think it's cute" I said as I gave her a kiss on the forehead, "Listen Bella, how about you take a shower and head down stairs and eat something, I think Esme wanted to make you breakfast."

"Ok, I'll see you down stairs then" she said as I helped her up.

"Well actually you won't," I saw panic in her eyes so continued, "I need to go hunting, see how my eyes are black?" she nodded, "Well that shows you how 'hungry' I am."

"Oh," she said in understandment.

"I won't be long, I promise. I'm sorry it's just that I haven't hunted in almost a week and last time I went I only had two deer."

She giggled, "Edward, don't be sorry. I know you have to eat. But if I may ask how much do you usually have?"

I chuckled, "I'm sorry but this is weird… talking to my supposed prey about what I eat."

"So what you aren't going to tell me?" she said pouting and batting her eyelashes at me as she gave me a hug.

"That is not fair, looking at me like that is so not fair Bella."

"Why?" she asked innocently.

"Because it's working," I said as a low rumble came from my stomach

She giggled as she felt it rise up from inside of me, "Do that again" she said as she put her hands on my abs.

I growled lightly, she closed her eyes and tried to push my back onto the bed. "What are you doing?" I asked my voice think

"Trying to get you to lie down," she responded still pushing against me.

"Why?" I said my voice still thick

"I want you to lie down and then I want to put my head on your chest so I can hear it" she said blushing red.

"Bella," I said as I lifted her chin, "I would love to oblige." I lay down and she followed, she put her head on my stomch and I growled lightly.

"Wow, can you do it louder?" she asked entranced.

"Your wish is my command," I said before growling louder, I saw how she just closed her eyes and relaxed, so I growled again louder, and then I growled even louder, and then I growled as loud as I dared growl in front of her without scaring her.

"What's wrong?" Emmett yelled as he broke through the door.

I quickly got up taking Bella with me, and growled angrily at this time. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

"Hey I asked you to growl louder if there was danger." Emmett said as he stood up straight.

"No you didn't" I responded standing up straight as well.

"Yeah, I thought it and then you growled louder so I came,"

"Emmett stop lying," I said beginning to get annoyed

"I'm not"

"Yeah you are"

"Am not"

"Are too"

"Am not"

"Are too"

"Am not"

"Are too"

"Am not"

"Are too"

"Am not"

"Are too"

"STOP" Alice said as she came thru the door way.

"But…" Emmett began.

"But nothing, Edward Emmett did say that..."

"Told you" Emmett said sticking his tongue out.

"But," Alice continued, "Edward didn't hear, he was too busy." Alice finished as Emmett stared at me and I stared at her.

"Jasper and Carlisle will go hunting with you; Rose, Esme, Emmett, and I will stay behind to take care of Bella. You won't be more than two hours, depends if you go after a mountain lion or not."

"Your favorite," Emmett said before giving Bella a hug and leaving the room.

"Mountain lion is your favorite animal?" Bella asked.

"I'll carry you down stairs after you shower, ok Bella?" Alice said at the door, Bella nodded and she left.

"Yeah, Mountain Lion is my favorite," I said as I gave her a hug, "I'll miss you," I whispered into her ear before kissing her on the forehead and leaving.
