Just watched the Titanic. Sad. But I love the ending though, when Jack and Rose can finally be together again. :) ... Okay, so before I start crying (again) here's chapter 38 of LOAA!

Previously:~*~*~"Bella, don't say that." He glared at me. My head ducked down. He looked awful. His eyes were pitch black, his clothes were scratched, and it actually looked like he had scratches on him, but I knew that wasn't possible.

Chapter 38: Finally
Bella's POV

"Bella?" A voice that I would recognize anywhere called out. My head snapped up off my legs to see who it was. The person started walking forward, almost to where the deer was, eyes pitch black.

"Don't!" I screamed. "You'll get killed."

"What do you-"

"I'm trapped," more tears coming down faster now. "and I can't get out."

"Edward," But I was cut off.

"Bella, please. Don't say that." His gaze intense on me. His voice cracked. Just then a snarl came out of his mouth. I turned around to see Aro, Jacob, and Ally staring at Edward. Ally walked foward, after Aro's command to take me inside.

She gently grabbed me, even though it looked painful from the outside. Edward growled. She brought me upstairs, still silent. She brought me over to the window, muttering something I couldn't hear after Aro waved his hand.

Aro crouched, Jacob staring right at Edward. Then he pounced. "NO!" But it was to late. All I could see was a blur of white. Snarls ripped out of them, but not anyone stopped.

My palms were planted against the window, sobs bursting from my chest. I shook my head, running down the stairs. The increasingly frequant metallic snaps and tears, the hissing, made it clear to me that this was turning deadly for someone.

But which someone?

The blur of white got thrown into something. Edward. His back collided with something invisable, but then he was flying in the other direction. My feet pushed faster as I saw what was happening.

Finally reaching the door and wrenching it open, I could finally see what was happening. The wolf now turned his head towards me, giving me a warning glance. Edward, now with his shirt hanging right off of him, and Aro.

Finally, with one last good kick, he was down. Breaking off the arms, throwing them far off into the woods. Dismembering the body, and throwing away the pieces. My back was now against the wall of the house.

The wolf growled at Edward, but then retreated off. The sobs subsided, but tears were still falling. He turned towards me, but didn't take a step closer. I turned around to the window to see that Ally was not there.

"Bella," his voice was distant, soft. I was shocked at how he was talking after he destroyed Aro. "I'm not going to hurt you." He started walking foward cautously, his palms held up towards me.

"Hurt me? Why would you do that?" I asked confused. He stilled. "Aren't you, you just- aren't you afraid of me?" He stuttered. I had never heard him look for words to use. I shook my head at him.

I started to walk foward, but tripped, probably over my own two feet. But before I could fall, Edward's arms were wrapped around me. I sobbed into his neck, tightening my grip everytime he tried to pull away. Finally he chuckled and cradled me in his arms, the coolness of his skin making my over heated skin feel better.

"Bella," my head snapped up to see Ally standing a few feet away. "they know. Edward," her voice turned into a soft whisper. His eyes met hers, and he nodded. Then he growled. "I'll be fine. Just please get her out of here."

Edward nodded and swiftly carried me into the forest. He gazed down at me, his dark black eyes staring down intensly. His eyes darted around, then he sped up. "What's wrong?" I moaned into his shirt.

"There trying to catch our scent. If we dart around for some time, they will get confused and hopefully give up. I'm going to run you back east, then we're going to have to take two plains that will land us in Isle Esme. Alice had seen that they are going to be looking for us, and Isle Esme is off the coast, no one would ever look there."

I nodded my head, changing my position to grab onto his neck. "I love you, Bella." His head turned towards mine, lightly kissing me on my forehead. "I'll always protect you. No matter what."

"I love you too, Edward." I whispered into his neck, my lips moving against his skin.

That was when I knew both of our lives would change forever.

~*~*~"When was the last time you ate?" Edward asked as he checked out the bruise on my arm from Jacob. Apparently he had grabbed me to hard sometime when I was out cold.

( A/N: It was so tempting to end it here, but then I decided since the internets not working yet, I'd continue.)

"The chicken was bad when I cooked it, and most of the things there were nasty, so I just stuck with water." I said to him, trying to not get him any madder then what he already was about Jacob and Aro.

His face held anger as he spoke. "The next food place we see, I'm taking you." The thought of food made my stomach grumble. And cue the tomato head. But through out his anger he still cracked a small smile.

"I love it when you blush," he said softly, his fingertips gently brushing over my heated skin. He slowed down to a walking pace as we finally broke free of the trees. "Where are we?" I asked, my grip on him tighter as I saw how dark out it was.

"I'm not sure..." his voice trailed off as a car came honking down the street. "We're still to close. I'm going to get you to the airport and then I'll find you something for you to eat." I nodded as I was in his arms again. But I wasn't complaining.

"I'm sorry."

"For what?" I asked. He looked down. His eyes flashed with different emotions. Pain, anger, and something else.

"I'm sorry for everything thats happend to you. With Charlie, with Jacob, everyone. It's not right for a person like you has to go through." His words ended in a whisper.

"Edward. We're not normal. Things are going to be different then how everyone elses lives are."

"Do you ever wish sometimes we were normal?" He whispered to me. I could hear car horns now so that probably ment we were near the airport.

"Yes, I do." I sighed. "I could always try to make us normal."

"And endanger yourself? I won't let you." Edward's voice was feirce. He slowed down again, his eyes never leaving mine. "I don't want you getting hurt. Ever."

The airport was packed, and you could even tell from the outside. To my dissapointment he put me down on my feet. I frowned. He smiled and grabbed me arm, pulling me gently into his side.

"Much better." I murmered as we walked in. Our plane wasn't leaving for another 30 minutes after we went through the whole airport process. As promised, Edward got me something to eat.

And even though I wasn't a fan of airport pizza, it tasted like it was the best food I have ever eaten. Edward watched me scarf it down with a amused look on his face, but I could still see the worry in his eyes.

After throwing away the trash we finally boarded the plane. Then I remembered that I wasn't a fan of flying. Why this slipped my mind I don't know.

"Are you okay?" Edward asked as we sat down. I nodded my head, swallowing and gripping onto the armrests. He grabbed my left hand and uncurled my fingers, spreading them back out straight.

"I forgot. You've always hated planes. Even when you were a baby." He smiled. I rolled my eyes. "We took you on a trip to Disney, and you were screaming the whole way. You stopped crying after Rosalie got upset and almost threw you into my arms."

"Ha. How nice was she."

"We have to take you on a trip back there." He wondered to himself.

"Attention passangers please fasten your seatbelts, we will be starting to our destination in 5 minutes." The pilot said, that stupid light with the seatbelt showing us how to fasten it. Who didn't know how to fasten a seatbelt?

"So tell me what your afraid of?" Edward asked, his hand rubbing circles on my palm. I gulped. His face got closer to mine.

"Uh, making me feel like I'm going to die. The plane will crash and then we'll plummit down to our dooms." I got out after a while. "Not knowing what's happening in the pilot head quarters. For all we know, they could be getting drunk in there and we would never know."

"Do you not know that if this plane would have crashed, not that it will," He added quickly after my eyes widened. "that I would get a tight grip on you, kick the wall out, and get us to ground safely. Then we'd stumble along like we were the luckiest survivers."

"Funny."

"I'm not joking, Isabella. I will do everything in my being to keep you safe." His head moved even closer, his lips just inches apart from mine. His lips parted, and I couldn't get enough of his scent.

His nose skimmed down my cheeck. "Bella," he sighed out. My eyes closed as he moved his lips from my temple to my jaw.

Then there was a cough. My eyes snapped open to see a very jealous looking flight attendent staring me up and down. She then turned her gaze to Edward, who looked like he wanted to strangel the women.

"Is there anything I can get you?" She said in a low voice, her eyes fixed on only Edward. He smiled a small smile and rejected politely.

"Let me know if you need anything. Anything at all." She said with a smile, flashing her white teeth at us. She winked and walked off. Edward sighed and grabbed into my hand, leaning his head back and pinching the bridge of his nose.

"This is going to be a long flight." I said, leaning my head into his shoulder.

Don't you hate moments like this? It's just like reading. Getting to the good part of a story, then the author leaving you off at a cliff hanger, to then have to wait for 3 months to see what's going to happen.

Ha. So, sadly we didn't reach the amount of reviews we needed to get this chapter, but I just really wanted to post this now, because guess what?

My cousins from California are coming out! And then a week later, my 2 other little cousins are coming out! So I don't know how long it's going to take me to write another chapter.

So thanks for all your cooperation!
