AllyC14: Emmett has created a plan to come and kidnap you!

SwanGirl7: Oh God…

AllyC14: I don't know I think it may work…

SwanGirl7: Okay let's here it

AllyC14: Okay I get Jasper to bring me to Hawaii. Emmett and Rose will join. You and loverboy go to town and we all break it for the water and paddle on home.

SwanGirl7: Paddle home? You guys are crazy. And Peter is NOT my loverboy.

AllyC14: I never said he was your loverboy ;)

SwanGirl7: Can we all face the facts that I am stuck here?

AllyC14: You know if I could save you I would…

SwanGirl7: I know.

AllyC14: Carlisle hasn't said much to us since you left. I think he's upset.

SwanGirl7: I don't know why.

AllyC14: I know. Something is just different. I can't tell what though. How is it going over there?

SwanGirl7: It's fine. Edward hasn't said a word to me since we arrived last month. Then again he is always gone.

AllyC14: That's weird…

SwanGirl7: I guess it's better than being treated for what I really am.

AllyC14: Don't say that. You're not a slave. You're a person.

SwanGirl7: I'm not so sure anymore.

"Hey, Bella!" Peter called out to me. I turned away from the shore where I had dipped my feet in, smiling gently as he ran up to my side, decked in long cargo shorts and a typical floral Hawaiian shirt that clung to his toned body. "Got you something."

He pulled out a bracelet that was tied into small knots with brown leather and around it a small white shell. I smiled and looked up to Peter who had blushed immensely. His blue eyes soft and inviting which just proved how good of a guy he was. Even Edward trusted him enough to take me out to the towns, show me around the beaches and hang out with me.

As much as I despised Edward I rarely had to run into him. He was usually gone and I wondered why he even bothered with me if he didn't pay attention. Maybe not even that but he had yet to take blood from me. And when he was home, he wouldn't speak. He observed though, I had noticed. I caught him staring at me, his red eyes like two burning holes. And if I didn't see it, I felt it.

Where Edward lacked, Peter helped. He made me feel normal, just like Alice did. And despite not being able to talk to her instead through chatting online, I felt like I had a new friend here.

But I told myself not to get attached.

If this is the game they want to play, pawning me off to different people then I could not get emotionally attached to anyone. It led me nowhere. But it was so hard with Peter. He was so sincere, so nice that I couldn't help but be friends with him.

"Wow." I said, touching the shell. "This is beautiful. Did you buy it?"

"No. I made it." He said with a smile. "Just finished actually."

"You made this?" I asked, stunned. He nodded sheepishly. "This is… amazing. Thank you."

"I'm glad you like it. I could teach you to do this. It's not hard." He shrugged with a smile.

"I'd like that." Peter reached for my hand and I felt my stomach roll with nerves. I smiled, feeling his fingers against mine, but once we heard the crunching of rocks, he let go. The black car rolled into the driveway and Edward was out in an instant but he was not alone.

Victoria sauntered out in a mini hot pink dress, her luscious red curls running down the side of her head as her green eyes glanced over to us. Edward looked at me pointedly for a moment and then walked away, Victoria right behind him.

"Hm." Peter scoffed as I turned to him.

"What is it?" I asked.

He turned away, the two of us walking towards the water, our feet dipping in as the waves lapped over our skin.

"He hasn't been here for days and when he comes back, he brings her." He shakes his head. "I wish he would leave his business elsewhere."

"Business?" I asked, reaching down to grab a rock from under the water.

"Yeah. I don't know. Sometimes I get the feeling that he brings back these women just to show off." He shrugged.

"Victoria isn't really something to show off." I laughed under my breath, looking to Peter who smirked inwardly.

"Your right, she isn't. Just a petty little human who has fallen into his trap." He said, staring out to the sunset. I cleared my throat, throwing the rock into the water before rubbing my arms. "She doesn't know what she's getting herself into."

"I don't think she cares much." I whispered.

"I think your right." He said, smiling down at me.

We stayed out for awhile, watching as the sun went down and the moon came up. We spotted some dolphins breaching way back and we ran out to the dock to get a closer look. We stayed on it for hours, just talking. It was nice to be this way with him. I was grateful to have at least one friend.

Around midnight we went back into the house and Peter told me he had to get up somewhat early to go out fishing with his father, so he needed to get some sleep. He took me to my room and kissed my cheek as he whispered me a sweet goodnight.

-TSIPWR-

By the time I woke up I was in a horrible mood.

I got little to no sleep, as I am sure the rest of the house did.

Edward and Victoria were up nearly all night, shaking the house with every movement they made with each other.

At one point I got up and left and sat outside on the beach, but my eyes were so heavy that I crawled back into bed. When I woke up, I had a splitting headache and made my way to the kitchen to take some Advil. Peter was already gone with his father and Maggie had just arrived to clean the house. I sat down with a glass of orange juice and took some medicine, rubbing my temple to make the pain go away.

Down the hall a door opened and a little red head skipped into the kitchen wearing nothing but Edward's shirt.

"Good morning." She said venomously, her eyes narrowing as her plump lips were even more swollen.

"Morning." I waved her off, ignoring as much as I could of her. Edward then came sauntering in, shirtless with his jeans hanging on low. I could see the V of his hip lines, his pale and rigid body toned and sculpted. I looked away and down at my juice, trying my hardest not to stare.

He wrapped is arms around Victoria's waist and kissed her cheek. She giggled and ran her fingers through his hair before turning to kiss his lips. I stepped off the chair and grabbed my glass, ready to leave but as I passed Victoria, I had noticed something.

Her whole body was covered in scars, I had known that.

But right near her left wrist, just a few inches under was a newly and fresh bite. It was still red and swollen, which gave me the indication that is just happened last night.

He was drinking from her?

Victoria had passed me and left but by this time I was frozen in spot; Edward though was staring at me, calculating as to what I may be thinking. I looked up to him and then away, walking towards the door.

But before I could step out, his cold hand gently grabbed my wrist. His smooth skin ran against mine and I felt my heart accelerate. He lifted my arm, glancing at my new bracelet that adorned my wrist.

"What is this?" He asked harshly.

"A present from a friend." I said, bringing my arm back.

Edward smiled faintly.

"Friend?" He asked and I nodded. "I wish we could be friends, Isabella."

I looked up to him through my lashes and I could see that for a split second, he was pained. He didn't like the bracelet, but I had wondered why. I didn't say anything to him about it.

"You are drinking her blood." I said curtly.

Edward was amused for a moment at my quick question.

"Yes." He said simply.

"But I am your donor." I trailed off.

Edward stepped closer to me, my breathing hitched as I looked to his toned chest. His hand went behind my neck, brushing the hair away as his fingers grazed my hot skin. I closed my eyes, sucking in my bottom lip as his coolness etched across me.

"Why would I spill such innocent blood?" He asked, forcing my eyes open. He looked down at me with soft eyes, my heart beating so fast that it began to hurt.

"That's what I am for, isn't it?" I asked him in a mere whisper. He paused for a moment, his fingers tracing down to my collarbone before he pulled away with a nod.

"That you are."
