Chapter 7

During my internal battle the other half of my brain was shooting random questions at me like; would Edward still love me after this? Would he at least drive me home? Ugh this is so difficult.

Well, during this time I didn't realize the bell had rung and everyone was going to change so I quickly collected my bags and ran outside to beat the traffic, before realizing I didn't drive here. Shoot.

Edward had driven me. Would he still be there or would I have to use one of my powers to get back? Should I walk home? I was really curious as to whether he would be there or not.

But all my fears just disappeared as I made my way to the Volvo and saw Edward leaning against his car looking like the Greek god Adonis. I gave him a warm smile.

"Hello, love," he said while grabbing my hand and giving it a quick kiss. If I could still blush I definitely would have been the color of a tomato then.

"Hello," oh what a great response Bella. Make him think you are an idiot or something. I mean for god's sake you've been alive, well to a certain extent, for almost a thousand years and all you can come up with is Hello.

He had grabbed my hand and pulled me over to the passenger side so he could open my door and let me in. I let him do it, but with slight grumbling about my independence and was still grumbling by the time he got in the car.

"I see Emmett's rubbed off on you," he joked lightly. I was slightly confused until I remembered lunch today and how Emmett was grumbling that I had won the bet. I started laughing and I could hear Edward chuckling next to me. His laughter was like velvety bells and I committed that sound to memory. I would always want to hear that laugh.

The rest of the ride was silent except for the gentle purr of the Volvo's engine below us. I really wanted to ask him what that was in Biology but didn't know how to start. I was so deep in thought I didn't realize Edward was trying to talk to me in my mind. I could feel him gently probing the shield as if asking for an entrance.

Bella is something the matter?

No. I said this a little too quickly though because Edward raised his eyebrows and was about to object when I decided to interrupt Okay fine something is the matter, gosh pushy much.

He chuckled lightly. Bella what could possibly be the matter? He asked me this with so much concern that I didn't know what to say but I decided on just going out and saying it.

Alright fine, since you dragged it out of me. I was wondering what that was during Biology.

He nodded understanding shining in his eyes. I tucked my chin down afraid as to what was about to happen and embarrassed. Suddenly I felt the car stop on the side of the road because I knew we weren't at his house yet even with Edward's fast driving we couldn't be back yet.

Then I felt a gentle finger pulling my chin up. I found myself looking into Edward's warm, caring eyes, "Don't be embarrassed," he murmured gently, "you shouldn't be so worried. I liked how it felt," he confessed and I could feel my eyes turn green to happiness and a huge smile lighting up my face.

I saw his breath catch in his throat and before he could catch that breath I pulled my face to his with a sudden force, a longing. Then, he was kissing me back and I knew that he understood how I felt. This was just as beautiful as this morning's kiss. This fulfilled all that I had wanted during Biology. I was about to pull back when Edward pulled me closer I savored in this moment. It was one of the best moments of my life. I wanted to stay like this forever.

That was when I knew and he knew we had to pull back. If we didn't we wouldn't have moved. As we pulled back Edward rested his forehead against mine as we slowed our breathing. I took that opportunity to tell him what was on my mind, "I feel the same," I told him with as much love in my voice as I could muster.

He dazzled me with his crooked smile that I loved and always wanted to see. I then leaned back and he turned forward to turn on his car we clasped each other's hands like it was our life line. I started drawing little circles with my thumb on the back of his hand then we had pulled up to his house and I knew that we were going to have to control our feelings a little better. For Jasper's sake of course.

I walked into the house and was greeted by a very hyper Alice, "Hi Bella, oh this is just so great, I can't wait until I get to plan your wedding and all that oh and then everything else-" I figured I would interrupt Alice now before Jasper had to come over here and calm her down with force.

"Ali, Ali, Alice calm down! Jeez, I swear you could supply energy to this whole world you're so hyper. Now let's take this one step at a time first, when did Edward and I get together?" I asked her hoping she would catch on.

"This morning," she answered reluctantly, ah there's the psychic.

"Good, now when do you think any of the stuff you said is going to happen?" I asked her hoping to find out the answer for myself. But both she and Edward knew what I was after because Edward read her mind.

I felt Edward's breath on my neck as he whispered in my ear, "You will not find out it's a surprise," he teased me. I turned around and stuck my tongue out at both of them before stalking off into the living room only to find Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie.

"Hey guys what you play-"I stopped dead because there in front of me was Halo 3.

"Bella what's wrong," Jasper asked as he paused the game.

I could feel my eye twitching, "WHAT'S WRONG, WHAT'S WRONG," I screamed so loud their house started to shake so I took it down a few octaves, "YOU GUYS HAVE HALO 3. FIRST OFF IT'S NOT EVEN AVAILABLE, SECOND I COULDN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE, AND THIRD GIMME GIMME GIMME," I screamed as I lunged for the remote that Jasper was holding but he dodged me easily. He was laughing at me now along with everyone else in the room.

"You want this remote," Jasper asked teasing me as I chased him around the room.

"DUH!!" I yelled

"Hmm," he pretended to be deep in thought but what he said next had me resorting to my powers, "I don't think I'm going to give it to you."

I stopped dead in my tracks and thought to use my powers, "Oh really," he nodded playing with the remote in his hands, "well, you are in for a surprise, REMOTE," I screamed at the top of my lungs making the foundation shake, again. I held out my hand as the remote appeared in a poof in my right hand, "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA," I yelled laughing evilly as I sat down in Jasper's spot. He was staring dumbfounded at what had just happened.

I turned to Emmett, "up for another bet," I asked since I was in a mischievous mood. Emmett's smile turned from amusement to mischief, "Oh you are on, lil sis."

That's what he thinks, but what he doesn't know is that I co-own Microsoft and helped create this game. Yes I feel very evil, "Alright so how much you want to give me now Em,"

"Well I think that you should give ME," I growled since he thought he was going to win, "hmmm…ahhh…ohhh…," Emmett was teasing me now.

"Just tell me the bet, Emmett," I said to quite exasperated by his childish antics.

"Alright, god, umm if I win, which I will, you can't play Halo for a week," my eye started twitching, should I risk it, of course.

"Ha that's it. Fine, when I win you can't touch Rose for a week," he gasped and I knew I had the perfect bet, "what Em are you scared? Oh my god folk, the big bad Emmett is scared. It is the end of the world," I was taunting him into doing it and I knew he would.

"NO, I'M NOT SCARED," it was his turn to yell now and I knew I had him wrapped around my little finger.

"Then let's get a move on," I said as I started the game again. We played for 4 hours and I was about to beat him the game was almost over.

"Hey Em," I decided I would let him in on the secret.

"What Bella,' he snapped at me knowing he was going to lose.

"I have to tell you, I helped create this game," I confessed and could hear the laughter of everyone behind us. Come on take the bait be distracted. I was pleading in my mind.

"YOU WHAT," he yelled turning to me with his mouth open. I took the opportunity and destroyed his character.

"GAME OVER! GAME OVER! BELLA WINS!" the screen read as Emmett dropped to his knees in agony.

"NNNNOOOOOOOO, I GOT BEAT BY A GIRL AT HALO," Emmett was screaming at the top of his lungs while I was doing a happy dance. I won, I won, and I won. I was doing back flips around their large living room. Everyone was following me with their eyes and suddenly I felt a horrible stinging feeling behind my scar, it wasn't like the numbing feeling to let me know that I needed to find someone, it was like that person was dead and not killed by me. I was gaining their power and it was going to be painful.

I stopped dead in my tracks and fell to my knees in agony gripping the scar on my arm trying to make the pain go away. I heard a scream of pain and saw Jasper fall to his knees with the pain I was feeling. I put up my mental shield so it covered my emotions and he got up with relief. I was gritting my teeth to keep from screaming, if I opened my mouth I knew I would lose control and scream.

Edward was on the ground next to me and he looked in pain to see me like this. I was about to open my mouth to reassure him of what was happening when I felt all the pain go straight to my head like I had the worst migraine ever. That was it I lost it.

"Ahhhhh," I screamed gripping my head in my hands trying to make the pain go away. It wasn't working. Everyone was talking at once but none of their mouths were opening, all I could hear was Bella are you okay, and Bella what's wrong. I could feel their emotions of concern, and suddenly a vision of some sort slashed before my eyes.

I was in a field, a meadow or something when the Volturi came out of the shadows. Everything was back to the house then but I was still in pain. I felt like I needed to let my pain out on something transfer it to something.

By this time Esme and Carlisle had entered the room too and wanted to know what was wrong. I looked into Carlisle's eyes and mouthed 'break something' as I was losing my sight and I knew that I had to let the pain go before I faded into darkness. Carlisle rushed out with vampire speed and came back a second later with a potted plant.

I hoped this worked I focused on the plant and felt the pain proceeding out of my mind. Next thing I know the plant was blown to smithereens and the pain was gone.

"Is the pain gone, Bella?" Jasper asked me full of care. I nodded unable to speak before I was falling backwards and the darkness over taking me. Before I hit the ground and the darkness took over two arms that sent a shock to my veins grabbed me around the waist.
