And there you have it, folks! I am not just a Goth Queen. No, no I am a prophecy! I am foretold by not just the Yodita (Don't get me started on that! I haven't forgotten the whole third nipple thing!), but I am legend for pretty much every mystical being out there. Yeah, I don't like this! Do I want to be Queen of the Goths? Yes, very much so! Do I want to rule the world and be in charge of every living being? Not so much, no! The Goth culture is relatively small, spread out, and we don't demand or need much. We are rather uncomplicated and keep to ourselves. Running the world, not so much! And then there is the fact that every being out there, mystical or not, are going to be vying for my attention! They are going to want to rule with me. I don't want that. I don't want a stranger; I just met Edward! Though it has only been a little while, he is determined I am his mate and I can't deny the pull, but what if that changes? What if when I hit eighteen he changes? What is going to happen with other beings? Are they going to just appear? Do I need a guard? Will I need to leave Forks? Leave Charlie? Leave Edward?

I haven't been to school, Edward has stopped by and Charlie told him I wasn't well. I haven't taken Edward's phone calls and I haven't let him enter my dreams. I know, I am probably being silly, but this shit is scaring me! Not to mention that when I dream lately they are extremely weird and scary, I worry that the Shadow Man comes in because I lay in wait for Edward. Speaking of weird and scary, I called my mom. She explained that she did love me, but that Charlie would be the best to help me through this. She was strong, physically, but other than that she couldn't help me. Charlie knew things, my powers that I will be coming into were ones he had and he was contacting a few of the Elders so that they could help me when the time came.

That was the other part that sucked! I couldn't really train for anything to deal with my powers. I guess my subconscious released my powers when I was sleeping, but not when I was awake. Charlie said that we could do some meditating and maybe that would help unleash some of what I could do, but until I was eighteen there was really nothing I could do to "train". UGH! However, in a couple of weeks the Elders were coming to our home and I was going to be "tested" to make sure I was the prophecy. And not just any test, one for which I couldn't study.

I heard a crash behind the shed that shook me out of my thoughts, so I went to investigate. I knew Charlie was at work, so it wasn't him messing around in his "zone". Nothing would prepare me for what I saw. When I approached I noticed Edward lying on the ground, his black muscle shirt and black jeans were covered in paint, and Edward was looking rather frustrated. I giggled and Edward looked up at me and gave me a small smile. I noticed it didn't reach his eyes. They were sad and I knew that I had been the cause of it. I slowly walked to him and Edward stood up, trying to wipe the paint off of him. His arms opened wide looking at the mess that was just getting bigger he sighed heavily and looked up at me again. I smiled at him and walked into his arms, wrapping mine around his waist. Edward laid his head on top of mine and kissed my hair.

"I don't want to get you messy," Edward huffed, his warm breath moving along my scalp. I pulled back a little and looked at my black ribbed tank top and my dark grey sleep shorts. They were getting covered with paint, but to be honest, I didn't care. I was here, Edward was here, he wasn't giving me a chance to run, and he was being persistent!

"And I just want to have you hold me." I leaned in closer and looked up at him, hoping he felt my need for him. " I don't give a shit about the paint, My Lord, please hold me," I pleaded, looking into his dark green eyes.

I felt the tension in his body release and his arms envelop me tightly. Edward's arms around me felt like heaven. Why had I denied myself this? All the anxiety I had been feeling since I talked to Charlie seemed to melt away and I wanted nothing more than to stay like this with Edward; to make the world go away for a while.

"You have been avoiding me, my princess." His warm breath heating up my scalp as he talked into my hair. I sighed and nodded into his chest, regret lying heavy in my stomach. Edward put his fingers under my chin and brought my eyes up to his; they were sad and pleading. "Why, my love? Why are you hiding from me? Is all this too fast? Is it too soon for you? Do you want to go slower, because..."

I put my finger on Edward's lips to quiet him. "Baby, I promise I will tell you, but you are right. There has been a lot that has happened since I moved here. Yes, 'us' is one of those things, but I don't consider that to be too much." I laid my forehead against his firm chest. "I just haven't processed it all yet, and I don't think I will be given the time to really process everything completely before it gets better." I sighed. "But I was silly to avoid you and I promise not to run anymore."

I looked up at his beautiful eyes, hoping that he could see how sincere I was; how happy I was that he was here; how much I needed him. Then I rose up on my tiptoes. I brushed my lips slowly against Edward's and felt him tighten his grip around my waist. Edward's tongue came out and wrapped around mine, slowly and sensually. I moaned into his mouth; happy that I haven't lost this wonderful feeling that we share. It was new and we just found it in each other, it was too precious to lose. Drawing back for air Edward placed a small kiss on my nose and smiled at me.

"So no more running? And you will talk to me later?" Edward smiled and pulled me closer.

"Yes," I whispered softly and nuzzled his neck, sighing happily at the freedom I was feeling.

"And later is not going to be too long away?" he said lowly. I guess he was enjoying my ministrations.

"I promise, my dark prince," I whispered into his ear, my hands sliding up his chest and into his hair, pulling him closer to me. Edward hummed in approval and sighed.

"So, Rose comes this afternoon," he stated, laying his head back on the top of mine.

"Mhmm and we have our B monster move marathon tomorrow," I giggled, allowing my finger to play with the hair at the base of his neck. "It is going to be interesting to watch you and Jasper pretend to be human. Are you really going to eat pizza?"

Edward pulled back a little, then placed a piece of hair behind my ear and smiled at me. "You don't know how happy I am to hear that tomorrow is still on. Are you going to have a little witchy slumber party with Alice and Rose?"

I could have sworn he giggled, but shook my head. "Yes, it is a slumber party where the three of us are going to be in our lacy underwear and talking about our naughty boyfriends and..."

Edward pretended to be having a heart attack and grabbed his chest, "Lacey? Llallalalalalal..."

He fell to the ground again and took me with him. I giggled and straddled him as he lay on the ground. Edward's eyes were closed and he looked like he'd really passed out. Anyone who came by would actually think he was dead, mostly because he wasn't breathing (vampires don't need to do silly things like well, breathe). I leaned over him, poking his sides, but then Edward thought this would be a great time to take advantage and roll me onto my back and begin tickling me. This caused a whole round of me begging him to stop while trying to breathe and laugh at the same time. Again, being a vampire, he was laughing and the issue of breathing wasn't a concern! Once we calmed down he rolled us back over, I sat up and Edward placed his hands on my hips. I looked down at the paint all over my vampire boyfriend and quirked an eyebrow at him.

"So tell me, darling dark one." I dipped my finger in the red paint on his shoulder and looked at it on my finger, then quirked an eyebrow at him. "What were you trying to do?"

Edward sighed heavily, moved me off his body and held his hand out to me. We walked hand in hand on our way to the side of the garage. There Edward had painted a picture of a beautiful Gothic heart in blue, bright red and black scroll work coming off of it all around. In beautiful script Edward had written, "My heart belongs to my dark princess." I smiled up at him, jumped up and wrapped my legs around his waist as my arms wrapped around his neck. He smiled at me and held me tight.

"You own mine completely, My King," I said and laid my head on his shoulder.

EPOV

Holding her like this after two days of nothing was bliss. I realize that it has only been a little over a week since she moved here. So yeah I could understand if things were moving way too fast for her, because in all actuality, they were! But to be honest, we were not your usual couple. Vampires, by nature, do not fall in love with humans. Should the rare occurrence happen, the human usually becomes a vampire and the problem is solved! Sure, I want Bella to be my immortal princess. I want to watch her strut her dark beauty throughout eternity by my side, but she has to want it too. Right now, she is human and her needs are slightly different.

Humans need time to process, to work things through. Vampires? Not so much. We are impatient creatures. I think it has to do with the fact that we know we have all the time in the world and the "wait forever" means a little different to us. Humans are finite. They don't have the infinity that we do, so I can understand if I was coming on way too strong for her.

But she was here! Bella was in my arms, and she loved my gesture, and I know she loves me because she just said I owned her heart as well. Call me brooding, call me EMO; I don't care!

I sighed and set her on the ground, looking down at my clothing I chuckled. "Go figure that I am a messy artist. Do you think Charlie would approve?"

She laughed and nodded her head. "I am not sure if he would approve of using his garage as your pallet, but I think he would approve that you threw your entire being into your masterpiece." Bella looked at the heart and smiled so brightly that I couldn't hold back mine. "I love it, Edward."

I looked at the work myself, but let my fear come out. "You don't think we are moving too fast? That you need more time?" I watched her sigh and let her head fall forward. I moved up behind her and began to gently massage her shoulders, kissed the back of her head. "Love, I know there is something weighing on your shoulders. I feel the tension roll off of you. I know that you were avoiding me, but now I know it is because you were trying to process and it must be something you have to do on your own... you need time."

Bella turned to look at me, her eyes conveying how much she appreciated my understanding without her saying so, but it also showed how big this thing that was plaguing her was. What could I do? I leaned down and kissed her softly, and then whispered, "When you are ready, tell me. When you're not ready, but you have no other choice but to tell someone, tell me. When you need me to pick out the lacey underthings that you will be wearing to the slumber party..."

Bella laughed and smacked me on the chest. I laughed with her and kissed her forehead. "Go in the house and take a nice warm shower. Put on that incredible black corset that you have hanging in the closet."

"Mmm, the one with the red laces up the front?" she asked, smiling wickedly at me. I nodded. That corset against her pale skin had me hard instantly. I was swallowing down the drool of venom that threatened to spill forward. "Should I just wear that, my dark one, or is there more."

"Bella." My voice was more gravely with desire then I wanted her to hear, but I couldn't help it. I traced a finger along the collar of her tank top and watched her shiver in response. "You could wear a potato sack and I would find you so damn sexy! Go! Put on the damn corset, maybe your black cut off shorts and your buckle boots that come to your knees."

She put her finger over my mouth again, her eyelids getting heavy. "For you, my love, I will wear it." Bella pulled on the loops of my jeans, tugging me closer. "If you go home and put on your dark red button down shirt, the one with the black skull buttons..." She moved closer and ran her nose along my chest and her hands ran behind me over my back, up to my shoulders. "And your black pants with all the chains crossing along the side of your legs..." She moaned and I felt her body shake a little more against mine. "Edward, go get the clothes and come back and shower with me!"

I whispered okay and I watched as she dashed to the house. I could smell how aroused she was and it was turning me on even more! I ran to the house to find Alice standing at the door, holding my clothes and chuckling. I shrugged my shoulders and asked, "What?"

"Easy, Casanova, I am just happy you two are talking right now." Then her eyes dropped and she whispered, "Edward, I don't know what is going on with her and I don't know if she will talk to me about it tomorrow night, but just know that whatever it is, it is shaking her whole being." Alice looked up at me. "I suggest you go the human-pace route. I don't want to lose my sister."

I hugged her and kissed the top of her head. "Me neither, Pixie. This is the year that Jasper AND I get our dreams."

She smiled at me and hugged me tighter. "Go, before the water gets cold. I need to find Jasper to get this visual out of my head. UGH!"

I laughed and started to run back to Bella. Alice yelled in the background, "Don't tell her no. TRUST ME!"

Her giggle was the last thing I heard.

I get back to Bella's and I hear her singing "Nine while Nine" by Sisters of Mercy. I loved listening to Bella sing. She gets this dark haunting sound in her voice... so damn sexy.

"She said do you remember a time when angels
Do you remember a time when fear
In the days when I was stronger
In the days when you were here she said
When days had no beginning
While days had no end when
Shadows grew no longer I
Knew no other friend but you
Were wild
You were wild..."

I hadn't realize I was still walking towards her, into her home, down the stairs to her basement room, slowly stripping off my painted clothes, opening her bathroom door, pulling back the shower curtain.

No, I didn't realize I was doing any of those things because I was following the pull that Bella has on me, that calls to me. And as she turned around to face me, slowly rinsing the shampoo out of her hair and looking up at me with those big chocolate eyes, Alice's words hit me as well as the thought; how would I be able to say no to anything Bella wanted?
