A/N: Posting this a day early cause I have the patience of a bug. Really hope you enjoy!


It Will Rain - Bruno Mars

If you ever leave me baby,
Leave some morphine at my door
'Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have,
We don't have it anymore.

There's no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm makin'
Will keep you by my side
Will keep you from walkin' out the door.

Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it will rain, rain, rain...

While Bella sleeps soundly I wait for the guilt, the disgust to hit me. It never does. My morality has shifted. I can't feel repentant over something we both clearly wanted, something we both heavily enjoyed.

Somehow in the middle of the night she had kicked the covers off of herself, revealing her bruising skin. I trace the now dark blotches with my fingers, my cock twitching as I think about being inside her again. Years ago, hell even days ago, I would have beaten myself up over the marks I left on her. Now I just see them as a sign of who she belongs to. My possessive nature ripples through me.

"Edward." Bella mumbles in her sleep.

I pull her into my chest, stroking her hair soothingly. She burrows her face into my neck before settling again. I hum softly to her; clearing my mind as I lay there spooning her. More than anything I wish I could drift with her.

"You look so handsome and peaceful when you sleep." Her sweet breath blows into my face as she yawns

"I don't sleep." I murmur.

"At all?" She gasps.

I frown. "No, not even a little."

She rubs my cheek softly, her brows knitting together. "That has to absolutely fucking suck. What do you do all night?"

"Well usually hunt. During the day, depending on weather, I explore my surroundings. Since acquiring you? I just sit out in the living room. And the past couple nights you've been holding me hostage in bed. Not that I'm complaining." I grin.

"Depending on weather?" Her face scrunches in confusion.

"Figured you would catch that. I can't go out into the sun, for stupid reasons." I scoff.

"Will you catch fire?" Her voice cracks in panic.

"Ha, absolutely not. It hasn't been sunny in a while but I'll have to show you sometime."

"You promise?" She kisses my throat.

"Yes anything." I vow.

"You're very agreeable as of late. Getting sex suits you."

I groan pushing her away but her widening smile is full of mischief. She lunges at me playfully, biting down on my neck. I freeze which makes her freeze. She scrambles away her eyes wide with alarm.

"I'm so sorry. Please."

I snarl low, moving quick until I'm hovering over her. I sink my teeth into her neck teasingly, never breaking flesh.

"Gotchu." I whisper into her skin.

"Edward! You scared the shit out me." She shrieks.

"Serves you right, trying to feed off me." I shrug coyly.

Her eyes narrow but I see the happiness shining there.

"I'm going to have a human moment and make breakfast. Would you like to join me in the shower?" She ends in a purr.

Her hand runs across my stomach sensually. I smirk but grab her hand to stop her regardless.

"I think you need a break from me. Before I split you in two."

I look sharply at her marred skin. Her eyes follow my gaze and widen again, noticing the now almost black splotches.

"Oh shit. You really fucked me up."

She pokes at the skin, not reacting at all. Good, she's not in pain.

"I would say I'm sorry but I'm not. I would also like to say it'll never happen again. But thats also a lie."

With that I roll out of bed pulling on a loose pair of joggers. When I turn around she's gone. I head into the kitchen as I hear the water in the bathroom running. By the time she comes out I have all her "food" sitting on the counter ready for her.

"Thank you."

"I still think it smells like shit." I huff.

"You know for a— how old are you." She suddenly cuts off mid sentence.

"Seventeen." I grin cheekily.

"Seriously, how old are you?" She scowls.

"A hundred and twenty four. Seriously."

Her mouth gapes open before she seems to contain her shock.

"Moving on…for a hundred and twenty four year old vampire you sure act like a baby." She sticks her tongue out at me.

"Please, if you could smell what I smell you'd be agreeing. Fucking gross."

She just rolls her eyes and goes to make her breakfast. I do what I do every morning, watch her with rapt attention.

"Finally."

A twig snaps outside causing all my muscles to lock up. I let out a predatory snarl; flying out the door. I launch myself at the intruder, gripping their throat with enough force to snap their head from their shoulders. My nostrils flare at the smell of one of my kind, my hand squeezing just a tiny bit tighter.

"Jasper stop."

I whirl around to face another vampire, not letting go of the one I'm clutching. Bloodlust clouds my vision. The need to protect Bella overpowering me.

"Let go of her Edward."

I growl louder now. A warning to back the fuck up.

"Edward, it's Alice."

Alice. Alice. Alice. Where the fuck did I know that name from? My grip loosens.

"Alice?"

"There you go. Now let me go."

I release her fully then. What the fuck are my siblings doing here?

"We've been tracking you, very poorly, for a month now."

"Why?" I hiss.

"Jesus when I got that first vision of you. I was shocked that your future would even come through after this long. Then I was appalled at what I saw. That girl? You have to let her go!"

"Fuck off short shit and mind your business." I snap.

"Watch your tone." Jasper voice is threatening.

"Don't start with me." My stance turns defensive.

"Boys thats enough." Alice chastises us.

"For fuck sakes, just go!" I roar.

"No, I want to talk to her. Make sure she's alright."

"I can assure you, she's fine."

"Your eyes tell a different story big brother."

I snarl again but Alice just stands there with her arms crossed. Oh for the love of fuck. This stubborn little goblin is the bane of my existence. They can't get near her. They'll take her. Kill them. KILL THEM. I clench my jaw fighting my instincts. I refuse to destroy a member of my family. I take a menacing step towards Alice.

"If you try anything I swear Alice."

Her smile is beaming. She gives me a lovingly hug, making me melt in a way only my baby sister can.

"I thought this would be a lot harder!"

I groan rubbing my hand over my face.

"Fuck me."

Bella is freaking the absolute fuck out when I walk through the door again. She flies into my arms sobbing, no doubt overwhelmed.

"Easy angel."

I stroke her back tenderly, trying to let go of all the tension I feel at my current situation.

"Let me see her." Alice pushes me away.

I growl at her. "Get the fuck back you annoying little shit."

When I look down at Bella she's in full fight or flight mode. She's hyperventilating as she takes in the two other vampires in the room.

"I.. I thought. You're going to finally kill me aren't you." She wails.

"What?!"

"You brought your friends here to drain me. You got all you wanted from me and now I'm gunna die."

She sobs harder fighting like hell to get out of Alice's grip.

"This is too much."

Jasper sends a powerful wave of calm over us. Bella relaxes just enough for me to grab her.

"Have you lost your fucking mind?" I hiss.

"Just make it quick." She sniffles.

"Look at me god damn it. When have you ever known me to share for one? I know I haven't been the gentlest…but fuck Bella. If I wanted you dead you would have died at my hands, my hands alone. Stop your fucking blubbering."

She looks up at me with watery eyes. I lean my forehead against hers, inhaling her every exhale until she fully calms down.

"You promise?' She hiccups.

"I promise." I brush my lips against hers.

"Oh my god he loves her."

"Putting out strong feelings of affection."

I tense at the thoughts coming from my siblings. I had forgotten they were even here.

"Bella, unfortunately these are my siblings. My sister Alice and my brother Jasper."

"Your siblings?" She blinks.

"Hi Bella!" Alice boderline screams.

"Hello." Jasper drawls.

"Well now I'm embarrassed." She blushes.

I notice the itch in my throat at the same time I notice Jasper freeze. I push Bella behind me, my lip curling.

"Relax Edward. You know that Jasper still struggles with our..my diet."

"Then tell him to get the fuck out of here before I lose control." I bark.

More like before he loses control.

"He won't hurt her, will you Jazzy?"

It takes him a minute to collect himself. He finally lets out a long sigh looking apologetic.

"My apologies. I'm not accustomed to being this close to humans. And this diet hasn't come as easily to me."

"Do you not feed off humans?" Bella peeks behind my arm.

"Oh heavens no. We feed off animals." Alice answers for him

"That would be your job."

My chest rumbles lowly at the mental jab.

"So why are you here?"

"It's a long story but the short version is we wanted to make sure you're ok."

Alice looks pointedly at the bruising all over Bellas body before her furious gaze turns to me. I clench my jaw, silently telling her with my eyes that it's none of her concern.

"You brutalized that girl."

Her thoughts are vicious, while Jasper focuses on trying to keep our emotions under control.

"I'm fine." Bella answers instantly.

"Bella if you want to go home now is the time to tell us. We'll help you." Alice rushes out.

"NO." I snap.

"You can't continue this Edward. This isn't you, not how Carlisle taught us."

"Fuck Carlisle. I won't let you have her." I start to slide into a defensive crouch when I feel Bella's hand on me.

Her eyes tell me everything I need to know. She wants to leave, to go home. I lose it, flying around the room destroying everything. My rage consuming me. Alice quickly ushers Bella into the bedroom, tasking Jasper with dealing with my aftermath. I tear everything to fucking shreds and when theres nothing left to destroy I'm left vibrating. My eyes search wildly around, looking for more. I need to let this anger out. A wave of fatigue hits me and I hiss at Jazz knowing he's the cause.

"Stop that." I growl groggily.

"You love that girl." He states matter of factly

I collapse without a word. I don't love her. She's nothing but a human. A food source. A willing partner to sink my cock into, nothing more.

"Do you know I can feel your denial?" He smirks. "I can also feel all those other emotions boiling under the surface."

"I don't love anything or anyone."

"Is that what you've made yourself believe all these years alone? You are fully capable of love Edward. We both know this."

"That Edward died years ago. All thats left is this." I mutter grimly.

"And this Edward is madly in love with a human girl. I would even go as far as to say she's your mate."

My brows furrow. What a cruel fucking joke. To finally find a mate, if it's even true, after roaming this earth for a century alone. Only for her to be a human girl I literately can't stop drinking from.

Alice comes out of the room causing me to jump to my feet. She flys at me, hissing and pounding on me in a blind fury. I stand there and take it until it's over.

"You should be ashamed of yourself for what you've done to her. This isn't our way of life."

"It's my life and I'll do with it what I see fit."

"We're taking her back. She deserves better than this Edward. She's eighteen years old for christ sake. She's endured enough torture in the last one-two months to last lifetimes over."

"I. Will. Not. Let. Her. Go." I hiss darkly.

"What happened to you." She thinks sadly.

"Where is she?"

"Relax I would never hurt her." She sneers. "We talked and then she finally passed out. The stress of the day got to her."

"I'm going in there. If you try to stop me so help me, Jasper will be picking up your pieces."

I charge past her, not giving her a chance to make a retort. When I burst through the door Bella startles.

"I thought you were sleeping." It's an accusation.

"I.."

I move slowly until I'm sitting next to her. "You want to leave." My voice is monotonous.

It's not a question. It's a statement. Even if she tried to deny it I know she would be lying to me.

"Yes." She barely whispers.

"I can't be away from you."

Her breathing hitches. "Please Edward I have to go home."

I turn to look at her then. Her eyes red and puffy from crying. My face twists in agony. She's killing me. A choked sound escapes me. I have the sudden realization I'm crying, dry sobs wracking my body.

"Are you crying!" Bella gasps distressed

I don't answer her as I try to reign myself in. "Edward."

I frown as I meet her eyes. She cups my cheek, stroking under my eyes. "No tears." She murmurs.

"Vampires can't cry. Well not like humans can anyway."

She reaches her other hand out making sure to cup my face fully.

"Please don't leave me. I fucking need you." I beg.

"Silly man I can't leave you. It hurts because I want to go home, so badly. But I don't think I'm strong enough to be away from you."

"Go with her. Relearn our diet."

I turn towards the door my face still in Bellas hands.

"What's going on?"

"Alice just suggested to go with you. For me to go back to my previous diet."

"Can you even do that?" The words tumble out of her mouth excitedly.

"For you anything."

Right then and there I swear an oath to myself to never leave this bewitching creatures side, so long as she'll have me.


If y'all are curious which I am sure you are. Alice doesn't usually get visions of Edward. Especially since he broke off from the family a while ago. But this one was so strong that it just came through. The Cullens tend to ignore his...eating habits because he doesnt feed off innocent people. Bella being the only exception. And Alice couldnt allow an innocent girl to be tortured any longer.
