A/N: I'm really sorry, I know I've been being a very bad author lately. and you all know it, so I'm not going to give any lame excuse. I've reread and edited a few of the previous chapters, nothing big, just fixing my grammer, so if you read it befor you don't have to reread it. I didn't change the plot or anything.
Disclaimer: If you've read one, you've read them all. Me no own Twilight or New Moon. Me own new characters, like Mya ).
"Bella! Bella, please, get up!" I heard Rosalie say to me in a frantic voice as I slowly regained consciousness.
"Ugh…" I said, as it was all I could say right now.
"Thank god!" Rosalie said her voice clearly filled with relief.
I opened my eyes. We were more halfway to the Cullen house, I could actually see the turn onto their private road from here. I crinkled my forehead in confusion.
"Umm…Rosalie?" I said to her. She turned to me. "Why didn't you just take me to your house? You could have just driven me up there."
It looked like she could have blushed.
"Well, I didn't want Edward to see you like this. He still doesn't trust me with you after what happened a month ago. If he found out that something happened to you while I was with you…" Rosalie said looking towards the ground.
"Oh." It was all I could say. "Well then, I'm fine now," I said with a smile, "So let's go now."
"Okay." Rosalie said with a smile, and hopped back into the front seat.
She started the car again, and we were off, turning onto their private street.
"What happened to you back there, Bella?" Rosalie looked at me curiously.
As I sat there trying to recall, I was hit with the sudden memory of what had happened to me while I blacked out. What did happen to me? I don't even know. All I know is that I was hit with either a memory, a vision of the future, or a vision of something that was going on right now.
"I…really don't know. I think I saw a vision. I can't tell if it's a vision of the past or the future, or maybe even the present. But I saw someone's…personal experience with werewolves, and her changing into a vampire." I said. By the time I had finished the car had been parked and turned off.
"Hmm…we'll have to ask Carlisle about this." Rosalie said while looking out the windshield distracted.
"It's pretty weird, this has never happened to me before. I've never blacked out before like this." Of course I had blacked out before, but only because of injuries, and I wasn't about to tell her that.
"Well, let's go inside now." Rosalie said, getting out of the car. I looked out my window and jumped, frightened. In my window I saw Edward staring intently at me. When he saw that we were done he opened the door and lifted me out in one swift movement.
"Well hello there." I said to him still taken aback as he set me on the ground. Rosalie had gone ahead, giving us a private moment, and was now back in the house.
He flashed me one of those brilliant smiles of his and said, "Hello."
We walked up to the house, me staring down at the ground concentrating on not falling on my face. I then realized that I hadn't seen his face since 7:16 this morning.
Screw this, if I fall, Edward will catch me. I thought to myself.
I looked up to him and smiled, and got a crooked smile in return. He pulled me close, and we walked in silence, our eyes not moving from each others faces the whole time. Edward, of course was leading the way.
When we got into the door, we saw that everyone was waiting for us. Alice was glaring at Edward, probably for taking his time, and he smiled in return. She turned towards me and looked at me expectantly. I looked around to see that all the other Cullen's had the same expression. I could see that Rosalie had filled them in.
I turned back to Edward and saw that he, too, was staring at me in curiosity, waiting for either an explanation, or to hear it from my own mouth.
"What?" I asked him, even though I knew what he wanted.
"Well, what happened to you in the car?" He asked, staring deeply into my eyes as if looking for an answer there.
"Well, I don't exactly know what happened. I was hoping that Carlisle would help me understand that." I said turning to Carlisle with a half smile.
"I will certainly help you, but I need to understand what exactly you saw." Carlisle said.
"Okay, but can we sit? It's kind of long." I said, hoping to prolong me explaining to a bunch of curious eyed vampires what I saw and the reactions that I get from them when I tell them about the evil werewolves who attacked me…or whoever it was.
We all gathered around the dining table, me sitting between Edward and Alice, while Esme, Emmett and Rosalie sat opposite to us, and Carlisle and Jasper sitting at opposite ends of the table. Then I began my tale.
There were many flinches and stiffening's, especially from Edward who held my hand the whole time. Whenever he would stiffen, I would squeeze his hand and he would smile at me, at which point everyone was happy to be back again and see Edward happy.
When I came to the part about the werewolves, everyone except for Esme and Carlisle growled. Carlisle was the only one who was expressionless and without reaction throughout the whole story, even when I told them about me killing the Aldwin. It was then that Edward had to leave the room; I knew that he would be listening to the story from outside, but he needed his space and I understood that.
When I told them of my killing Aldwin was also the only time that Esme reacted, even though I was only a sigh.
Emmett on the other hand, reacted to everything. Either with a laugh, a growl, or a flinch, he did react. Every time he did, Rosalie would pinch him, which would shut him up for a good 20 seconds until I said something else shocking. Alice and Jasper were good about it. They weren't as good as Carlisle; they couldn't help but growl at the werewolves, but they were good about it.
As soon as I was done with the story, everyone went quiet. Edward had still not come back in, so I decided to go check on him. When I began to get up, everyone looked up at me, and I motioned to the door, everyone understood, I was going to Edward.
I stepped outside the dining room, and found Edward sitting on a couch with his head in his hands. I knew that he knew I was coming, so I walked up to him and sat next to him on the couch. He looked at me and frowned, and lifted me up, placing me on his lap. I laid my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes.
"That wasn't me you know, so you don't have to worry." I mumbled into his shoulder, but knew that he could hear me. He sighed.
"I know it wasn't you, but you are going to become a vampire soon, and I haven't gotten over the fact that you are going to be drinking blood." He said truthfully. I could see pain in his eyes.
"Please don't…don't leave me again!" I said, about to go in a frenzy.
"Shh…Bella, I won't leave you again. Not now, not ever. I promise." He said. By the look that he had in his eyes I could tell that he really did not intend to break that promise.
I smiled at that, but I was still traumatized. Edward noticed that, and leaned in to kiss me. Of course, my heart began to misbehave at the moment. It felt like my heart was going to pop out of my chest.
It was exactly like any other kiss that we have ever shared, but somehow, they are all unique. For example, this particular kiss said in plain words, almost as if he had said them aloud, 'I fully intend to change you so that we can live eternity forever, but I just have to get over the fact that soon you, too, will be hunting with me and drinking blood', which shocked me.
We broke apart when I almost died from lack of oxygen. I took a deep breath, and smiled at him.
"I love you, Edward." I said to him.
"I love you more." He said to me with a playful smile.
"If you say so, but I strongly disagree with that statement." I said.
"Oh really?" He said with a chuckle.
"Yes, because you see, I love you more than sleep." I said.
"You do?" He said looking at me with curious eyes.
"Yes, because if I didn't love you then I would be asleep in my room. By the way, I know that you didn't call me here just to talk about what happened to me on the way here." I said, frowning because I had just managed to confuse myself.
"Oh, that was just because I hadn't seen you in 21 hours. I needed to see you."
"Is that it?" I asked, not convinced at all. I was convinced that he was hiding something from me.
"Of course it is." He said innocently. He gave me a pleading look as if to say 'I need you to believe me'. So I let it go.
It was then that everyone came out of the dining room, expressionless. Carlisle smiled at me and sat opposite to where Edward and I were sit. I blushed crimson at the way we were sitting, but Edward would not let me move. Everyone chuckled at that and I glared at Edward, who merely shrugged. That certainly lightened the tense mood that surrounded everyone in the room. Carlisle was the first to speak.
"Bella, I think I have come to a conclusion about your vision. I think that you visited the memory of a vampire. But I think I want to put this to the test. Bella we're going to be testing you, but you will not know what the test is. Is this okay with you?" Carlisle asked me. I could tell that he was really curious about this and wanted me to say yes. I, not really knowing what the test was but still trusting the Cullen's as a whole, didn't really care, as long as it wasn't a physical test.
"Sure, as long as it's not a physical test." I said, which everyone laughed at, and shrugging, almost hitting Edward on the chin if it were not for his fast reflexes.
"Sor-" I started, but Edward cut me off.
"You're forgiven. I know I've done worse things to you." Edward said with a smile that didn't reach his pain-filled eyes. I frowned, and opened my mouth to start but then I remembered Edward's family around us. I glared at him.
"Later." I whispered through gritted teeth. I knew that everyone in the room could hear me, even though they acted like they couldn't, as the Cullen's were so well mannered.
"So when is this test going to be, Carlisle?" I asked, for two reasons; one trying to change the subject, and two because I was truly curious about it.
"Hopefully it will be sometime today." He said plainly, with a smile.
"Okay." So there was no chance that Charlie wasn't going to find out about my little trip, there was going to be hell. Not a very good thing to look forward to.
"So now we wait?" I asked.
"We wait." Carlisle agreed.
Edward and Carlisle exchanged a few quick words, too quick for my ears, and Carlisle nodded. Edward placed me on the ground and motioned to the stairs, getting up himself. So we walked toward the stairs together, then Edward, probably trying to lighten my mood, ran past me up the stairs at vampire speed.
"Hey, you cheated!" I screamed up to him. He answered with his famous crooked grin that I loved. The next thing I knew, Edward was back at the foot of the stairs, and I was flying up the stairs, in Edward's arms. Then we were in his room, and everyone downstairs was laughing at us.
"What did you do that for?" I asked. He just shrugged with the biggest grin on his face. I couldn't help but smile at his sudden happiness. But I had a feeling that he just wanted me to forget what happened downstairs, but I wouldn't.
"What was that downstairs, the whole 'I've done worse to you'?" I asked, obviously mad about it.
"It's true; I have done worse to you." He said with a sigh, plopping down upon his leather couch and pulling me down with him.
"Well I certainly disagree. I think that I'm causing you much more pain." I stated plainly.
"Oh? And how do you figure that, madam?" He said playfully, pulling me closer, though from his eyes I could tell that he was feeling extremely guilty and a lot of pain on my expense.
"Well for one thing, if it wasn't for me you wouldn't be at such discomfort of having to restrain yourself in the privacy of your own home." I said.
"Bella, dear, it really doesn't matter to me. I've been doing this for so long I'm used to it, even in the privacy of my own house. Then there's the fact that I enjoying knowing that I can restrain myself. It makes me feel more in control. I really like it. Oh, and there is the fact that I love you that plays a huge role in it." He said, ending with more confidence than he started with. I knew that the first part was a lie, if he was so used to it, he would have practice medicine with Carlisle.
"Um hmm, sure." I said frowning and turning away from him.
"Do you doubt that I love you?" He said shifting his body so that he could stare into my eyes. "Because I love you with all my heart and soul…or whatever's left of it." When I didn't respond, heartbroken by his last remark, he continued. "Okay, if I didn't love you, do you think I would have come back? Do you think I would have gone to the Volturi after I thought that you had taken that jump if I didn't love you? I can't live without you Bella." He grabbed my arms and turned me towards his face. "Bella, I love you." He said with meaning, and kissed me.
When we broke apart, I was breathing deeply, and I knew that without a doubt that he indeed did love me.
Then, Alice came in. She smiled at me and looked towards Edward with a meaningful look.
"I think you should take her back now, Tanya called. They're on their way back now, with the new ones." Alice said.
Then, two things happened. One, Alice went into a trance; second, a huge crash came from down stairs, which sounded a lot like the front door.
"Oh no, they're here." Edward breathed. It was then that Alice decided to fall. Edward caught her, and placed her on the couch.
"Edward!" Carlisle's booming voice came, and it sounded as if he was struggling with something. Edward did some quick thinking.
"Bella, you stay up here with Alice. Don't open the door for anyone unless it's me, Carlisle, Esme, or Emmett. Okay?" He said urgently. I didn't miss that he didn't say Jasper or Rosalie. I nodded.
"You can trust Rosalie and Jasper, you know." I whispered to him. He nodded in return.
"Fine, then Rosalie too." He said. Before I could protest he ran out of the room and locked it behind him.
I sighed and turned towards Alice who began calling my name, as if in pain.
"Bella! No, Bella!" Alice whispered and writhed as if in pain. I sat next to her, calming her in whatever way I could. She finally came back with a sudden, loud, and final shout of my name. She was hit with a sudden movement as if someone had kicked her in the back, and she gasped for air. She came tumbling back onto the couch with causing the couch to rock back into the wall with such a force that it made a hole in the wall. She looked towards me; it seemed as if she was going to cry, if she could.
"Bella." She whispered. "We have to get you out of here." She said with sudden confidence. She then went into a mode of sudden concentration.
"Alice, what are you doing?" I said, staring at her as if she was insane.
She looked up at me and cracked a smile at my expression.
"I'm trying to get Edwar-" She said, interrupted by the door slamming open, and shut within a spit second, with a hysterical Edward standing in front of it. He looked towards Alice.
"We need to get her out of here." They both said at the same time, in total agreement. Then, they nodded to each other at the same time. I would have broken out laughing at the situation if it were not for the clueless feeling that I suddenly full of.
Edward wasted no time, scoped me up and ran out of the room, down the stairs, out the back door, and into his Volvo before knew what was happening. However, I did manage to get a glimpse of what was happening in the living room. Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper were holding back one male vampire, while Esme, Carlisle and another vampire I did not recognize were holding back a female vampire. I suddenly realized something.
"Edward." I said with my voice full of fear. We were cruising down the road to my house, going on 180 mph. I didn't ask him to slow down.
"Yes?" He said in surprise, looking at me with concern.
"Those weren't new faces."
Da da da dum... Yeah, so I will update MUCH sooner than last time. I promise you/
