A/N: I sort of jumped around with the points of view, but not as much as I thought I would. I apologize if it seems like I did. Like I said before, my friend and I worked out sort of a deal involving both of our fan-fics, so I added her to this chapter (you know who you are. If you don't, then it's not you). But anyways, the next chapter should be up next Wednesday, and please review! Thanks!

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, or any of it's character.

Chapter 10

BPOV

"James, I...I think I love you."

There. I said it. And I think I meant it. Think being the key word. I was proud of myself for admitting that. I knew the feeling had been there all along, bottled up, just waiting for me to realize it. After saying it, it felt like a big weight had been taken off my shoulder. That was the only way to describe it, even though it sounded so stereotypical.

I was still wrapped around him; arms around his neck, and my legs around his waist. He reached back to unhook my arms, then leaned away from me. Oh...what would he think...?

"What the fuck, Bella?"

JPOV

"James, I...I think I love you."

I stared at her in amazement. She couldn't mean that...was she lying or playing with me or something?

Bella was still using me for support, after I had picked her up. She was so...stunningly gorgeous. No- it wasn't enough to sum up her heart breaking beauty that way. Her legs and arms were holding onto me like her life depended on it-and it probably did. I painfully removed my hand from her hair to unlock her hands from around my neck. I tilted back enough so that I could see her slightly better.

"What the fuck, Bella?"

"I... I thought that you wanted me to say that...?" She looked confused.

"I do, but do you mean it?"

Bella hesitated, and shifted her hips. I stifled a groan. The position we were in...

"Yes." She seemed pretty confident about it.

I forced my lips back on to hers, and evaded her mouth with my tongue. I shoved her back into a tree, and I thrust into her again. Her walls clenched a4round me with her release. She screamed, causing me to come, too. I set her on the ground.

"Get dressed. We need to get you more clothes," I said as I pulled on my pants.

BPOV

After putting on my clothes, James grabbed my hand and started running. He hadn't said it back...

"Are we going into town?" I asked.

"Yes, we are."

"And what if I can't control myself around humans?"

"You will be."

"But..."

"No buts. It's 3 A.M. Everyone's asleep-except for the drunks, and they don't taste good, we just have to find a store..."

"What about security guards?"

"We're too quick for them to see us. Look, if you're so worried about it, you can just wait out here."

"Sure, fine, whatever." That seemed like a good idea, even though I didn't want to be separated from him. We arrived at a mall soon after that.

"Wait here. Don't move. I'll be back in less than 5 minutes." James rushed into the store.

True to his word, James was back in 4 minutes and 31 seconds-not that I was keeping track or anything.

"Here are some clothes. They should fit. You should change now..."

The days passed quickly after that. We fell into a normal routine of hunting and sex. But we did have some interesting cases when feeding. For instance...

Flashback

We had just found two more victims, who I had somewhat of a grudge against- Nick and Kevin Jonas. Might as well finish all of the Jonas Brothers off. I was just about to about bite into Bick's neck- James had already killed Kevin- when a girl of about 25 came running up.

"No! Don't kill him!"

"Who the fuck are you?" James took a step forward.

"I'm Sarah. It's nice to meet you, too." She stuck her hand out. James and I stared at it until she let it drop. "I'm Nick and Kevin's personal bodyguard. I was newly enforced after Joe was killed. I may not look like much, but I'm a pro ninja."

"Sarah!" Nick cried, breaking free from my grip, and flung his arms around her. "They killed Kevin, and I think they murdered Joe, too. I think that they are vampires- they sucked Kevin's blood. Please, save me! Can't you stab them in the heart with a wooden stakes or something?"

"We don't die that way. Humans can't destroy us. And yes, we did kill joe." I went forward and grabbed Nick, and then drained him completely while James held Sarah back.

"Well there goes my job! Are you going to kill me now?"

"No, we're full. We'll keep you for later." James shoved her into a tree, and she hit her head, evidently knocking her unconscious. He threw her over his shoulder, and started running after grabbing my hand.

"We should get a hotel room. She needs food, a bed, a bathroom..." I worried. "But how do we afford it...?"

"I do have money, Bella; I just chose not to spend it on clothes which we could get for free."

Sarah was waking up. James set her down.

"When around people, you act like you're Bella's cousin. You don't speak unless directly spoken to. You don't behave like anything is wrong. You don't leave the room alone. Do you understand?" James asked when walking into the lobby.

"Yes, I understand," Sarah responded.

"Hello, how may I help you? Do you have a reservation?" The receptionist was eyeing James up. I glared at her, but she was oblivious to it.

"No, actually, we don't. Can you find something on such short notice?" I interrupted her looking at James, who had wrapped his arm around my waist.

"Of course I can. Is a one bedroom suite with a pull out couch fine?"

"Perfect." James handed over a credit card. We walked over to our room.

"You get the couch. Don't bother us," James barked at the human.

"Can you guys even sleep?" Sarah retorted.

"No," I smiled sweetly, "but ever since I was changed, I haven't been in a normal building, and I really want to fuck James in a bed."

"Ok, then. I can tell that's not my problem. But I'm hungry."

"So? Why should I care?" I had better things to do.

"Well, you said that I can't leave by myself..."

"Fine, I'll get you something. Bella, stay here with her for some 'girl bonding' time." James lightly kissed my lips on the way out. Once he left, I glared at her.

"So what do you want to talk about?" Sarah seemed less afraid since James was gone.

"Shut up. Sucking up isn't going to save your ass. And neither are your supposed 'ninja' skills."

"Hey! My ninja skills are awesome! Want to see?"

"I'd rather not."

James was back. He was carrying a McDonald's bag. The stench gagged me. He threw it at Sarah, who caught it.

"Eat it and be grateful." James started to pull me into the other room.

"Ew! A cheeseburger! I can't eat this! Do you know how many calories are in this thing? And what am I supposed to drink?" Sarah complained.

"It's that or go hungry. Drink water; I'm not paying extra money for a drink when there's perfectly good, free water right here." James gripped my arm and pulled me into the bedroom.

"Wait! Can we see if you made the news yet?"

"Fine." James used the remote to turn on the television, but we stayed standing, while Sarah sat. A female news reporter was on.

"There must be some new type of serial killer around, targeting Disney stars. First Miley Cyrus, and then, close after, Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato were brutally murdered. And just yesterday, Nick and Kevin Jonas' bodies were found, and their bodyguard was kidnapped. If you see or know anything about her, please, contact the police." They showed a picture of Sarah. "And earlier today, Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, and Ashley Tisdale were all killed by a car bomb planted in the limo they were riding in. it has been a terrible tragedy, so, please, notify your local authorities if you know or have seen anything at all. Now to Sophia with the weather."

James flicked the TV off. Sarah looked slightly...weird. She got up, and picked up the glass lamp off the table, unplugging it. She threw it at the wall, where it shattered. Sarah carefully walked over, and picked up a shard. She pressed it into her arm, until her skin broke, and she started bleeding. James threw his arms around me to hole me back.

"What the hell do you think you're doing? Are you suicidal?" James was struggling to contain me.

"I feel the need to die. I know that I'm not escaping from you, so why prolong my death?"

James released me, and I sprung at Sarah, knocking her to the ground. I bit into her neck, ending her life for good. Maybe she would have been fun to keep around, but too late now...

End Flashback

We were getting dangerously close to Forks, but there was something I had to show James. Approaching the town, he confronted me about it.

"We shouldn't be this close. Their psychic could see us."

"Alice probably already has. I want you to see something." I stepped out into the sunlight, away from the trees. We were both glittering.

"What's so important about this...clearing?"

"It's not just that, it was Edward's and my meadow."

"I still don't see how that is significant to me."

"It's not. But it was where he first let me see his reaction to sunlight, and where we had our first kiss..."

"I thought you said that-"

"I know. It didn't progress further that that."

"Ok, good then."

"I want to erase those memories." I wrapped my arms around his neck. "With some more powerful." I pressed my lips to his. But it was then we were hit with the unbearable reek. It smelled almost like...wet dog.

"Oh, crap, what the hell is that?" I covered my mouth and nose with my hands. Somebody walked into the meadow.

"Bella?!" The guy called out as he started running towards me. It couldn't be...

"Jake?" I turned to James. "It's ok. He's and old family friend-"

"No, he's not, Bella. Remember what I told you?"

"Not really..."

"He's a werewolf, Bella," James sighed.

"Oh, my God!" I jumped back. Jacob started running, headed for us. He leapt in our direction, but, in mid-air, changed into a horse-sized, russet-fur colored wolf. I screamed. He was aimed right at us. James lunged forward, and they both hit the ground.
