Yep... I am alive :D I ended up leaving this story to rot because it was s***. This is for PenguinCullen06 who asked me to update :)

I know its bad but I'm tired!

You may read now... :D xx

Even though I kept my distance from my family's planning session, I was still curious.

So many thoughts were running through my mind. Who is it? Why are they here? They're here for me! Even if my time as a human was over, an instinct stayed behind screaming 'It's my fault. Everyone's out to ruin Edward's life'

I sat in the armchair facing the fire as I focused on that voice. I could hear Carlisle and Esme mumbling to each other in their room, Rosalie and Emmett working on her new car and Edward, Alice and Jasper discussing strategies if these vampires were dangerous. Renesmee sat on the sofa staring out the window. I honestly thought that this would come in a few years; not that this attachment would happen sooner than normal. She was waiting for her imprinter? I don't know what you call it but I'm sure Jacob would come up with something along the lines of 'future husband, lover, carer and protector'.

Yep, cheesy.

This new coven sounded suspicious. I wasn't sure what it was but I could tell it was something familiar. I expanded my shield from my mind and thought to Edward help. I knew he would be by my side in seconds if I needed him.

I was right. My husband suddenly appeared by my side and he swept back a lock of my hair which had come loose from my ponytail.

"What's wrong?" he murmured in my ear. The silkiness of his voice clouded my mind so I barely noticed Jacob stride in the front door and take Nessie to bed. That was meant to be my job but in the state I was in, I couldn't complain.

"I'm scared. Charlie. He's on every hit list in the country, in the vampire world! And now, the danger is just a while away. If he died, Edward," I turned my head to look him in the eyes. "I-I couldn't live with myself! I – I…"

"Shhh," I began to panic for the town's lives. So many defenceless humans… "No, Bella, it will all be fine. Just, don't. Don't think about doing something stupid. We both know you will have something up your sleeve." Edward chuckled in my ear and the sound was infectious.

Damn Edward for making me feel better this way! I had to focus on something. Anything.

Yeah, it's also short but, again, I'm tired! For the next chapter I may have to skip a few weeks ahead because I don't know how to fill it in :/ And check out beckie-abingdon her story Regrets is really good :)

And check out my other story A Ripple in the Pond :)

Review please!

See ya later... xx
