"Jasper wake up, Jasper please wake up," pleaded Bella. She had started panicking after James left, she couldn't show fear when he was there so now was her time to worry.
"Jasper, wake UP!"
"Hello, hello? Is anyone out here?"
"Edward!" Bella shouted.
"Bella, where are you?"
"In the cave with the stone in front of it."
By this point, Bella was pounding on the stone trying to make Edward see where she was.
"How am I supposed to move this thing?" Edward asked.
"I don't know! If Jasper was awake we could move it no problem, because us vampires abilities are better than humans, no offense. But by myself, I don't know if I can!"
"Well maybe you can. Uh…what happened to Jasper?"
"I don't know, I think James hurt him pretty bad." Bella said.
"Who's James?"
Bella told Edward the whole story from beginning to end, not leaving one detail out.
"Why didn't you guys come look for me, and why does honey and water make you pass out?"
"Alice told me we would find you later, that it would be okay. I did look for you for a while, but then Alice heard Jasper yell and we ran after him. Honey and water is one of my… weaknesses. The smell is so sweet it just fills my senses and I…"
"Pass out," finished Edward.
Bella nodded, "We'd better figure out how to move this rock."
Edward started laughing, it started as just a chuckle but then it turned into a real laugh.
"What's so funny? I don't really think this is a laughing matter! I've been so worried that something would of happened to you and now your laughing?" Bella said, sounding exasperated.
"I just realized, or just remembered, that we are talking through a stone!"
This made Bella start to giggle too. In the midst of all the fright, they were laughing. After the laughs stopped, Bella felt so much better. It was like a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders.
"So Edward, do you believe us now? That we really are vampires?" Bella asked nervously.
"After tonight, I could believe about anything."
"Oh, thank you so much Edward. You have no idea how much this means to me!"
Now, all Bella wanted to do was to be with Edward, to be able to hold him and see him. The feeling of wanting Edward so bad turned into strength.
"Watch out, Edward, I'm going to move the rock," she said.
With all of her strength she could muster, she rolled the huge boulder out of the way.
Edward ran right into the cave and hugged her with all of his might. Bella hugged back, but all of her might was too much for Edward.
"Ouch! Vampires really are stronger than us humans."
Bella smiled, and leaned in to kiss him when…
"Oh isn't that sweet! I'm sorry I had to break up this little reunion."
"James!" Bella had almost completely forgotten about the trouble they were in.
"Yes, I'm back. What, did you forget about me Bella?"
"Yes, as a matter of fact I did."
It was no use lying to him, since he probably knew anyway.
James laughed, "And it seems you picked up a stray. Your little boyfriend isn't that cute. Is he a vampire too? Well I guess I could answer that question for myself but…"
"No I'm not, as a matter of fact." Edward interrupted.
"What did you say you filthy, little human?"
"Bella? Bella, where are you?"
"Jasper! Jasper, are you okay?" Bella asked, rushing over to him.
"I'm fine, where'd James go, that little…"
"I'm right here and the next person to interrupt me will be the first one to die." James answered.
"We'll interrupt you if we feel like it." Jasper shouted.
James started circling around Jasper and Jasper stood up and looked like he was ready to pounce.
"NO! Jasper, you don't have to do this, let's wait for Alice and then we'll all fight!" Bella screamed.
"Yes, let us do wait for Alice, more blood for me!" James said.
"Bella once he's gone we won't have to worry about him anymore! Let me just do this!" Jasper pleaded.
Bella looked into his eyes, she knew it probably was better if Jasper finished James off but if he died in the process Bella could never live with herself.
"Okay," was her reply.
Before Bella even said her last word, Jasper had pounced on James and the fight begun. James was a second too slow, allowing Jasper to land on his shoulders. James threw him off with incredible strength and Jasper landed against the cave wall. Shaking it off, Jasper ran back to James, picked him up and threw him against the wall also.
"That'll show him," muttered Jasper.
"Oh yeah?" James shouted, "What'll this show you?"
James ran back to Jasper and attempted to jump on his back but Jasper was quicker. He spun around to see James come flying at him and ducked, James smashed into the cave wall inches away from Bella.
"Well I guess that shows me I'm a better fighter than you!" Jasper yelled.
Out of anger, James picked Bella up and threw her at the wall next to Jasper. Luckily, Jasper caught her before she hit it. Now, Bella was infuriated. She ran full speed at James knocking him off of his feet. Taking the opportunity, Jasper ran over and bit James on the side of the neck. Bella was holding him down so Jasper could rip parts of skin off, and bite him a few more times. Blood was everywhere and Bella was amazed by how strong Edward was acting. He just stood by the wall they were sitting at, watching it all. After Jasper though he tore James apart enough, he quickly started gathering twigs and pine needles to start a fire.
"What are you doing?" Edward asked. His voice sounded a little shaky.
"Starting a fire, Bella start rubbing some sticks together please."
Bella sat down and started rubbing two long sticks together.
"Why does he need to start a fire," whispered Edward.
"After you rip a vampire apart, the only way to really kill him, or her, is to burn the pieces." Bella replied.
"I see."
"Why are you whispering?"
"Oh, uh, I don't know."
"I'm sorry you had to see that. You must think I'm some kind of monster or something." Bella sighed, "If you don't want to see me again, I can understand. It must be really hard to like someone like me."
"Not at all! Bella you are the most unique person I've ever met in my entire life. It's not hard at all because I know you are a good person, but being a vampire has to make you do some things you really don't want to."
"You have no idea." Bella replied.
"No, but really Bella, I didn't think moving to Forks would be better for us, like my mom said it would be. But after meeting you, I don't want to go away. I don't want to leave you Bella. I… I…love you."
"Oh, Edward I love you too."
He leaned in to kiss her again but…
"Hey, are we ready to burn James up or what?" Jasper asked.
"Yeah, of course," said Bella rolling her eyes.
Jasper gathered up the pieces of skin and threw them into the fire. The fire crackled and sparks flew up. The three of them sat there gazing at the burning pieces of James.
"Well at least were done with him now!"
"Alice!"
Bella stood up and gave her a huge hug. "I'm so glad you found us! I was so worried about you!"
"It wasn't that hard to find, I just tracked James scent. It was unusually easy to find, and soon enough I figured out you guys had his blood scattered everywhere, so that was why!" Alice said.
Bella laughed, but she wished that Jasper and Alice would leave so she could have her time with Edward.
"Uh, Jasper? Let's step outside for a minute or longer. We probably should respect Bella's wishes." Alice mumbled.
"Thank you," mouthed Bella.
"Alone at last." Edward said.
This time, he leaned into kiss her faster so he would be able to this time. The kiss was fiercer, but still had the same amount of love, and probably more. Edward's hands were going up and down Bella's back, pressing her closer to him. Bella pressed her lips harder on his; she never wanted to let go. But, she knew, that Edward was human and need oxygen still, so she let go and let him breathe. Edward took two deep breaths and kissed her again. This time, Bella pulled Edward closer to her. Edward took advantage of that and kissed her more, since he couldn't move anywhere else. Not like he ever wanted too. The moment was perfect, better than the night of the dance. After they had their share of kissing, Bella laid down by Edward on the cave floor. Edward had his arms around her, and they both laid there, gazing into each other's eyes. Bella decided she wanted a bit more, so she closed her eyes leaned in and… Pure bliss.
