Previously on The Turning…

"Yeah. I think I can keep my cool now." I grinned and started walking the way I had come when I was scooped up and slung across Emmett's back. All I could do was laugh as both he and Alice started running back to the Cullen mansion.

P.S- Make sure you read the bolded type at the bottom. It's important to the story, but read it last. :]

I was just sitting on my couch listening to Bella's lullaby, thinking about what has happened since she was forcibly changed. Well I can't really say forcibly since she had wanted this and I had no other choice in the matter, but it still bothered me that I took away her humanity. I damned her to be a monster just as I am. And there's no going back. That's probably why she's so mad. She doesn't want this life anymore. She wishes this hadn't happened. I was selfish and now she lost the one thing that could have brought her happiness. She lost her humanity.

"Edward quit it with all your depression vibes. Bella does love you, but it's just difficult with her right now. She doesn't understand her powers at all. Just give her time and things will be back to normal, no sweat. Soon she will be happy again because she has you."

I wanted to say something sarcastic, but it was Jasper who spoke, not Emmett so I knew he was being sincere. "I know Jasper, but I feel so helpless."

He walked into the doorway of my room. "She'll come to you for help, don't worry. You always come back to the one who holds your heart. It's called love. And she definitely loves you." He smiled brotherly at me before going downstairs. I leaned back on my couch and stared at the ceiling until that got boring and I closed my eyes. I filled my head with nothing except Bella, my beloved. The way she smelt, looked, tasted. My head was filled with thoughts of her.

I guess you could argue the point that I was so enthralled with her for she consumed my thoughts that I didn't hear her enter my room until she placed a gentle kiss upon my cheek.

"Edward," She whispered as I opened my eyes slowly, prolonging the moment incase my mind had just conjured her up and she was still not home. She was standing in front of me, in all her glory. Dark hair cascading down her slim frame, pooling over her right shoulder. Her eyes glowed red, with just a hint of dark orange around the edges. No.

"You fed?" I asked, sitting up and pulling her into my arms. She twisted her hands around each other as she snuggled her head under my chin. I rhythmically began stroking her back, not caring in the least if she ate the entire west side of the forest. Right now I was more than happy she was finally back in my arms, and I was glad we weren't fighting.

"I'm sorry." She whispered, kissing my neck. I smiled and kissed her tenderly on the lips, asking for entrance for which she granted. I could taste the faint traces of blood on her tongue and I knew the taste well. Second only to the taste of Mountain Lion and my Bella.

"Fox?" I asked, pulling away from her oh so tempting mouth. She smiled sweetly up at me and nodded.

"It was really good." She whispered. "I wish you could've been there with me."

"As do I my love." I sighed before inhaling her scent. Her hair was tangled with twigs here and there, but nothing to bad. I pulled each leaf out, each twig, one by one until there was nothing left and they had been crushed into dust now floating around our heads. She noticed.

"Lazy, are we?" I smirked and flipped us over, so I was now atop her. Her gasp filled my ears and her shocked expression filled my eyes.

"Yes love, I do believe we are lazy." I kissed each of her eyelids before kissing her cheeks and finally those plump lips I've always been so fond of. She wrapped her arms around my neck, holding me to her. I held myself up with one of my arms, and with the other I moved it to the back of her waist, holding her up to me for better access. I pulled back, moving my kisses to her supple neck instead, hearing her hiss my name in pleasure when I dragged my teeth across her dead pulse point. I froze, she froze, and we listened to the gentle breathings of each other. I locked eyes with her.

"Do you regret it?" I asked in a pained whisper, kissing her non-existent pulse point once more.

"Never." She countered, pulling my face back up to hers. She kissed me sweetly and gently, much how I had to her when she had still been human. "I have an eternity to live with you, my love. I'll never regret what we shall have. Not," she kissed my right cheek. "Once." And she kissed the left. I sighed and leaned into her some more so she was slightly pinned below me, preparing myself for what I was about to say, preparing myself for her reaction.

"Isabella, how much do you love me?" I didn't want to see the hurt in her eyes, but I couldn't look away when it flashed across her face. It was quickly replaced by anger. She was appalled that I would even suggest such a thing, doubted that she would love me with her whole heart. I knew this of course, that wasn't the problem. I needed to hear it, and not just to improve my ego either.

She struggled to get up, and I knew I'd let her so I quickly covered her mouth in a kiss, silencing her protests. I didn't want her to leave me again. I wanted her to talk to me.

"Sweetheart, I'm not insinuating that you do not indeed love me."

"Then what are you implying Edward?" she tried to calm herself down, and I could see her internal struggle taking place. She was trying not to fight me. She was trying to hear me out.

"I simply would appreciate to know why it is you continue to run?" her struggles ceased and she glanced up at me curiously.

"What do you mean?" She whispered. I inhaled an unnecessary breath before continuing.

"Honey, why wouldn't you talk to me earlier?" I kept my voice soft and sweet, so she knew I did not wish to fight. She didn't get angry, as I had expected. She simply began to tremble, fighting back the noises she didn't want to make. I hastened to finish my question. "I know I shouldn't have yelled at you, none of the times I did and I will forever apologize for that, but-"

I stopped for I didn't think she was listening. She was staring over my shoulder and I had to tilt her head down to meet my eyes once more. "Bella, what it is? What's wrong?" I ran my lips across her forehead.

"I was scared." She whispered, barely audible. She had closed her eyes, blocking her inner most thoughts from me. I couldn't tell what she was thinking, no matter what but given the opportunity to gaze into her chocolate brown orbs, I could tell what direction her thoughts had gone.

"Angel, please, look at me." She refused, shaking her head and screwing her eyes up even more tightly than before. She clenched her hands into fists around my t-shirt, but I couldn't tell if she wanted me to get off of her or if she was just trying to stay anchored to this world. "Please, for me?" I tried to persuade her, but I don't think it worked. Instead of the reaction I was looking for, I got a more drastic one. She gasped, opening her eyes wide and focusing above my head, staring at the ceiling not so unlike how I did earlier. Carlisle said this was a vision, but I knew better. Alice had visions. Alice never freaked out and ran for cover when they happened. This was something else entirely. This was something I don't even think I'd be able to help her with…

I couldn't meet his sweet eyes. They would be my undoing. I couldn't allow him to see me this way, but I didn't want to leave him again. I didn't want to fight, I wanted to make up. I wanted to stay here in his arms, and then this stupid power had to intervene when I was just about to look at him.

I was in bed; Edward was behind me, spooning me. His body molded to mine perfectly. We were asleep. We were human. Our hands were fisted together and we looked content. Suddenly I jarred awake, causing Edward to stir. He blinked open one eye, but I wasn't facing him so I assumed he was still sleeping. His voice startled me.

"Bella?" He hugged me tighter to him. I was staring straight ahead. I was afraid to look anywhere else. "Love, what is it?" He turned me to face him, but I was seeing with unseeing eyes. "Bella?" he asked again more urgently.

"It can't be." That was all that wormed its way out of my mouth.

"What it is Bella? What's wrong?"

"Jacob."

I focused again. Edward was staring at me, but not in anger, in concern.

"Bella?" He asked in a soothing caress. I shook my head to expel my thoughts and let him know I wouldn't tell him. This had been just like the other one. Why do they continue to involve Jacob? Why do they only involve Jacob…?

"I-I" I stuttered, looking anywhere but Edward's face, but everywhere I looked I saw him. I whimpered and wrapped my arms around Edward's neck, shoving my face into the crook. "Please," I pleaded, "Make them stop. Make them stop." I was shaking in fear. Jacob didn't make me upset, and seeing him in my head wasn't as frightening as I thought it'd be. Jacob comforted me when Edward could not, and I still loved him. I wasn't afraid of him, he was my brother. I was afraid of what these meant. I was afraid of what I was seeing, and how I was seeing them.

"Oh Isabella, love how can I help you?" Edward's voice was pained. He hated seeing me like this. I repeated myself.

"Please," I begged, opening my eyes to stare out at him. "Make them stop… Make them stop!" I could feel another coming; it was like ice picks being thrust into my stone cold heart, shattering it into oblivion. I started thrashing around, but I didn't want to get away this time. I wanted Edward to hold me tight. "Please, oh please Edward!"

He looked torn, glancing at the door where everyone now stood. Alice's lip was trembling and Jasper had a firm hold around her shoulder. He looked; there aren't even words to describe the immense pain he must have been feeling. Emmett had Rose in his arms, and he could barely watch me. Protective big bro can't do anything. That must be how Vampire Boyfriend was feeling, since it was his fault I was like this.

No! I wouldn't blame him. It wasn't his fault!

"It's not your fault, it's not your fault." I repeated over and over again, trying to stop the power from overtaking me. I glanced over to the doorway again and found Carlisle to be the only one left. I shook my head no; I didn't want him near me. He came forward anyway.

"Edward, what's going on?"

"I don't know!" he cried, aggravated that he couldn't help me. I had felt the pain for too long. I let it over take me, and my cries died instantly, causing them both to look at me. The 'vision' overtook me. I closed my eyes and I was gone…

If only I had know that stopping it as I had done would cause harm I may not be able to fix, maybe none of this would have happened. Maybe I would have embraced it instead.

I stroked her head. My sweet Bella looked so peaceful, but I knew that she had just been in too much pain to bear. It showed on her face, and I could feel it twist my heart, ripping it in two. Her pain was my pain, and that was why I needed to help her. I love her.

"Carlisle, these aren't normal visions." I told him, as he was the only one left in the room. "These are hurting her."

"I know son. But I'm afraid I don't know what to do. I've never see anything like this before. She can see things, but it's not like the future, like Alice. I think she sees what's meant to be seen. She can draw up the past, and she may only be able to focus on a certain person. From what I've heard from Alice, her pain seems to be centered around Jacob. Or at least her visions for lack of a better word are focused entirely on him."

"But why? I don't understand. Why is he becoming such a major aspect in her life, now of all times?"

"Edward, I wish I had an answer, but I'm afraid I don't. I don't know what's going on but I will help both of you, as soon as we figure out how to help Bella. She needs to tell us what she sees, and then we'll get to work on finding out all we can about it."

I nodded in agreement.

"Edward," I called, begging him to answer me. I couldn't see anything. Blackness surrounded me.

"I'm here sweetie, I'm right here. Open your eyes love. Let me help you."

My eyes fluttered open, and I cried out in shock.

"Bella, oh love, what's happened?" Edward was in shock, as was I.

"Edward, Edward help me please! I- I can't see!" Everything around me was pitch black like the night sky. I thrashed my head around, hoping to find anything bright enough to see. I closed my eyes and opened them again. Nothing.

"Edward, I- I'm blind…"

EPOV

"My sweet Bella. Oh love I'm at a loss as to what to do." I held her against my chest. Carlisle was with us. "Carlisle will help you honey. We'll get you through this." She whimpered and buried her head in my chest. "Carlisle, what are we going to do?" I continued to try to comfort Bella as she tearlessly sobbed in my chest.

"Edward I'm not sure what we can do." Bella cried harder at this as I shot my father a glance of hatred. Of course I did not hate him, but he was hurting my Bella, and that was unacceptable. 'I'm sorry son. I've never seen this before in all my years. Never have I heard about a vampire going blind, even for just a short amount of time.'

"Carlisle please." I didn't know what I was asking of him, only that he would help.

He nodded and tried to sooth Bella by stroking her hair. She trembled in my embrace. "I will do whatever it takes to help you both. Do not doubt that." He left after clasping my shoulder, showing me his support.

"Thank you." I whispered, tending back to Bella. Carlisle nodded and left. When the door closed Bella looked at me. Her chocolate orbs were still where they always were, but there was a film covering the entire eye, telling me she was not seeing as she used to, or even that she was having a 'vision' of sorts. She could see nothing.

"Edward," she began tracing the lines of my face, my lips, my eyes, my nose and chin. "Edward I-I can't see you. I can't see anything!" she wailed, covering her eyes with her hands. I lay her down on the bed and hovered beside her. I cautiously removed her hands and kissed her eyelids.

"Oh my sweet, sweet Bella. It'll be alright I promise it'll be alright." I kissed her lips but she pulled away.

"Edward, I can't see you. I can't see anything." She frantically looked around the room, but as she said, she could not see.

"That does not matter to me my love. We will figure everything out. You will see again. I swear it."

"What if I never do? What if I can never see you again? What if I can never see our family again? Edward, I can't live that way!" she sat up straight, but almost fell off the bed. I caught her instantly, cradling her in my arms.

"Oh Angel. It'll be all right. Everything will be alright." I held her close when she tried to push away.

"No, not it won't. I'll never be able to see you again. Oh Edward, I miss you so much."

"Isabella I am right here. I will never leave you. You need me now more than ever. I will never abandon you. Ever."

"Oh Edward…" she cried, wrapping her arms around my neck. "It's not the same. It won't ever be the same. I'll never be able to look at you, to see your face, ever again." She was looking around the room, for what I do not know. "I hate this power! It did this to me. It took away everything from me! It took you away from me." She stood up and tried to run forward, but I snagged her waist before she got to the door. It was closed. I wasn't sure if she even knew that. She would've walked right through it.

"Isabella how many times must I tell you that I am right here? I will always be right here. Just because you can't see me, doesn't mean I think any differently than before. I'm not going anywhere." I kissed her forehead, hearing her gasp in shock. Maybe I can use this to my advantage, show her how much I love her when she can't see me. It'll be surprising for once when she doesn't know what'll be going on. I kissed her cheek. "I'm right here." I hesitated and kissed her mouth. "I love you, forever and always." I mumbled before kissing her once more.

"Even like this?" she asked, curling her hands in my shirt. Looking up at where she thought my face was. She was off, but I wasn't about to tell her that. I angled my head to her neck, which was closer to me than her mouth.

"Especially like this. You don't realize how much fun we'll be able to have this way." I kissed the hollow behind her ear. She gasped and arched her back into me. "You will enjoy this my dear." I kissed her mouth again and she fought back a groan. My voice was husky and smooth when I gripped her waist, turning her around in my arms.

"Edward," she breathed, closing her eyes.

"Oh Bella you do not know how much you will indeed enjoy this." She purred against me, her eyes still closed.

"Edward, I love you." She opened her eyes and looked over my shoulder. I could see unshed tears in the filminess of her eyes.

"And I love you my sweet. Now I think I'd like to show you." I moved closer to her, drawing her near me. "Would you like that Bella?"

"I want to see you." She said, sounding pained.

"In a few moments all you'll want to do is feel."

Okay, so I'm really sorry about the really long wait, so I hope this little, I'm not even sure what to call it because it's not all the way to a lemon but maybe a little fluff, makes up for my lack of updating.

I'm not going to write a lemon scene, basically because if I did it would suck beyond belief since I have no personal experience with this sort of thing, at all, but I do have a suggestion.

If you would like to write a lemon scene for this story, I'd be more than happy to add it into another chapter. You'd have to PM me if you're interested, or tell me in a review. I'll need to give you some guidelines to writing it, basically

It has to be sweet and romantic, obviously because it's Edward and Bella, and in character

It has to show all the excitement that'll happen when you can't see but only feel during the time of contact

It has to be written well

These are not too high of standards, so if you think you can follow them and write a good love scene between the two, then let me know. Send me the story, or if it's something you've already written and I can use it send me the link. I'll give you credit for anything you may give me, but if it's not a story you've already written, if it's not already posted on here and it's just something you came up with I might readjust parts of it. Don't send it if I can't toy with it.

If I don't get one, I won't add one and I'll just continue with the story, so really it's up to you whether I add a lemon or not. Have fun and I hope you enjoyed this chapter!!

Love Ashley!!
