Chapter 1:

Anniversary I placed myself in Edwards arms. He squeezed

my shoulder ever so lightly. I looked up into his

butterscotch, warm eyes and thought, how could I have

been so lucky to own this person wonderful, perfect

person for 10 whole years? A slight smile appeared

on his lips and I could see that he was thinking the

same thing as I was, so I smiled too, to make the

moment sweeter.

He then reached down and pressed his wonderful, tasty

lips onto mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and

pulled him closer to my face. He wrapped his muscular

arms tenderly around my waist.

Too soon, he pushed back and chuckled, Bella, you doknow were not alone, he winked.

I stifled a giggle when I notice my legs were wrapped

around his waist, I did not even know that I moved my

legs! Guess I was too carried away, We both laughed.

Thats when I noticed we were at the Cullen house, not

out cottage. I laughed internally, weird; I thought we

were at the cottage.

Alice skipped over to me, excitement filled her eyes. I

groaned. Must be one of her big ideas that she wants

to do with me. I spoke before she even had the chance to

speak, No way Alice, Im not, and I repeat NOT going


3/61

anywhere with you, its my anniversary with Edward,

so GO AWAY! Edward laughed, but I was surprised

Alice still had that smug grin on her face.

Im not bringing YOU anywhere, Im bringing youBOTH! Alice squealed, pointing her small cute little

finger at Edward and me. I look at Edward

questionably while he grimaced at Alice. Jasper,

sensing my distress, walked to Alices side.

We were just wondering if you two might want to go

for another honeymoon,

Where? I asked curiously.

Well, Esme and Carlisle kinda planned it; all you have

to do is to go there and ... ENJOY YOURSELF! Alice

answered sheepishly. Thats when I heard Emmetts

booming laughter.HA! ENJOY YOURSELF?! , I guessyou could do that, other than watching news all day

long, what else could you do? Rosalie giggled a little.Me and Edward glared and snarled at Emmett. Ohhh,

scary Emmett and Rosalie laughed.

I ignored Emmett and looked up at MY Edward. I

removed my shield and asked him where we were

going. He chuckled; he loved it when I showed him my

thoughts. He pulled me onto his lap and whispered,

Apparently, we are going to be shipped to Paris Hethen kissed me on the cheek and glided his nose along

my ear and throat. I laughed nervously. I cant wait!

Everyone bid us goodbye at the sea port, including my

darling Nessie and Jacob. I kissed Nessie on the cheek


4/61

and asked her to listen to her aunts and asked Jacob to

take care of her. We were kissed and hugged than

Edward wound his arms around my waist and pulled

me toward the private ship. The luggage was already

on the ship. I did not argue with Alice with it, I was just

too anxious to spend an entire 2 weeks with Edward

and Edward only.

The ship started immediately and I rested on Edwards

lap. He smoothed my hair than rested his chin on my

shoulder and whispered in his smooth velvet voice, I

love you, I giggled, I love you too, I turned my headaround and kissed him tenderly.

***

We reached Paris the next day. The view was simply

breathtaking, but could not compare with Edward. I

knew he was looking down at me, waiting for my

reaction when he suddenly gave me a swift peck on mylips. But my vampiric reaction wanted more than a

peck. I put my hands around his neck and pushed his

head closer to mine, refusing to let go. I felt a sense of

satisfaction. He laughed and pushed away, again, too

soon. I felt my lips pouting, He smiled and said, Its

okay Bella, we will have plenty of time for THAT! I

smiled at that idea and removed my shield once more.

He chuckled and kissed me on cheek. Now he knows

HOW MUCH I love him.

***


5/61

I stepped past the door into the contour of our house. I

was used to the pale paint of our houses. But this house

looks just like a fairytale, so real... and Edward is in it

too! I laughed out loud. Edward looked down at me,

raising a perfect eyebrow. Nothing, nothing, I smiled

and gave him a peck on his lips. He smiled. I stepped

into our bedroom, which is also our so called heaven

to-be I opened the curtains that was when I noticed it

was night time. We actually took so long from the port

to our house!

I heard Edward coming in the door and locking itbehind him. I smiled and thought this is going to be

GOOD. Edward swooped down and placed me on the

bed, HEY! was all I could say. Than his lips silenced

mine and then I heard clothes ripping.

***

I sort of noticed when the sun rose. I lay lazily onEdwards bare chest and listened to his silent

heartbeat. After a long beat of silence and pleasure-

Edward finally broke the silence, So, where do you

want to visit first, Mrs. Cullen? I laughed at my name

while he trailed lightly and softly along my spine. I

shivered a little before answering, I dont know, I

would follow you anywhere though, Mr. Cullen, I

smiled and pressed myself closer to him. He chuckled,

Well, I guess we should get dressed first before we

leave, it would be quite conspicuous... I sprung out of

the bed and with our speed; we were dressed in no time.


6/61

Edward became my own personal tour guide, bringing

me to almost everywhere. We were outside a jewelry

shop when he told me to wait in the car for a minute. I

obeyed, of course. It was around 10 minutes when

Edward joined me in the car and something shiny

caught my eye. He wore it around my neck and kissed

me on the lips, lingering there for a while. This is for

you Mrs. Cullen, your anniversary present.

I looked at it, it was a beautiful necklace. The pendant

was a ring; I love you was carved on it. I smiled.

Thank you, I pressed my lips against his once more.Thats when Edward and I smelt it One of our kind

But I recognized that smell Tanya.


7/61

Chapter 2: JealouslyEdward and I went out of our car to greet Tanya, hand

in hand. It has been a long time since I met Tanya, but I

could still remember her through my dim human

memories. She had strawberry blond curls, bright

golden eyes, and of course, extremely beautiful Duh.

Hello Tanya, Edward greeted politely, Fancy

meeting you here.

Tanya looked at us; I could see that she was surprisedto see us here too. Hi Edward, hi Bella, you both look

well, she smiled. I muffled a "Hi", barely audible.

Its our anniversary, just another honeymoon,

Edward answered a silent question, wounding his arms

around my waist and kissed me lightly on my cheek.

Tanya laughed and looked at Edward, You look betterthan the last time I saw you. Edward smiled, Nah,

just the same. Then he frowned.

I was just wondering if you would... She trailed off

when her eyes glanced at me, cuddled up by Edwards

side. Oh. I'm sorry. I looked up at Edward

questionably, but he just shook his head. However, I

did not need Edward to translate Tanyas words; Iknew exactly what was happening. A deep growl built

in my chest, and I glared at Tanya. Shh, its okay,

love, Edward soothed me with his velvet voice, though

I can hear a bit of strain in his voice.


8/61

Goodbye Tanya, Edward said acidly. Tanya said

nothing. Edward pulled me into the car and drove off.

On the way home, I was still very angry with Tanya,

venom leaking from my throat to my mouth. I was

surprised that I was quite angry with Edward too. How

could he let Tanya f...f...flirt with him! MY husband! I

was so angry that I did not even notice we reached the

house. Edward reached out to hold my hand, but I

flinched away from his touch.

Bella, whats wrong? Edward asked, worried and

anxious. I was too angry to speak, so I just removed myshield, showing him the scene. Edward laughed, and I

glared at him. He pulled me into his arms, ignoring the

struggles I made to break free. He kissed me on the

hair, forehead, nose, cheek than lips. I could not resist,

he was too good.

Bella love, Tanya might like me, but she holds no place

in my heart as you, Bella, has taken over my

Whole

Heart, no one could replace you! He said in his

seductive voice. I was dumbstruck by his words but

mostly his voice - I shook my head to clear it and said,

but Edward, she LOVES YOU! YOU SAW HOW SHE

FLIRTED WITH YOU! IF I WERENT THERE, SHE

COULD HAVE FINISHED HER SENTENCE!

I was just wondering if you could GO on a date with

me!


9/61

I quoted in Tanyas voice. But Edward just laughed

again. How could he laugh after all this?

I wanted to slap him, but I loved him too much to even

lay a finger on him. Bella, youre so adorable whenyoure jealous! I groaned and back faced him. He

pulled me into his lap, I will always love you, always,

and nothing can change that, not in a million year. In

fact, when I heard Tanyas thoughts, I wanted to attack

her so badly! I looked up at him, was he serious? I

thought through his words and laughed. Well, at least I

know Edward would always love me, he laughed withme.

Lets get back into the house, alright? We got back

into the house and while Edward watched the news, I

went to change my clothes, then went back to the living

room and curled in Edwards chest while he put his

arms around my shoulder. But after only 2 minutes of

it, we got sick of it so I stretched up to touch my lips tohis. Knowing what I want, he carried me bridal style to

the bedroom, where we belong.

***

Bella, its time to leave! Edward called. Im coming!

I was meant to hurry. But it was difficult to choose a

decent clothe from the suitcase full of revealing clothes.Remind me to scold Alice. I tried to look for a less

revealing one, but the only one I could find is a tank top

and mini skirt. I groaned.


10/61

Come On, Bella! Edward called impatiently, Ok Ok!

I just realized I spent 1 whole hour trying to look for

clothes.

ALICE!!!

I sighed and gritted my teeth and put on the

unacceptable pink tank top and red mini skirt. I did not

even dare to look at the mirror, knowing it will only

freak me out. I tried to sneak out of the bathroom

unnoticed, but only finding Edward standing right in

front of the door. I felt a little satisfaction when his eyes

pop open for a second, before returning back to normalagain.

Bella...wow, I giggled when he looked at me up and

down. I skip to his side and thought: Maybe this isnt

too bad... I very much wanted to stay here to be busy

with stuff, but I was missing Nessie darling too much,

I even have a full suitcase of items for her. Edward

reached out for me hand Which I gladly took it and

went home.

***

Momma! Nessie came running to me once she caught

sight of me in the sea port. Hello there darling, have

you been good? Of course! Aunt Alice brought me

shopping and bought this really cute skirt and Aunt

Rosalie brought me too... Edward and I listened to her

stories while the rest welcome us back home. Nessie

even showed us how each piece of clothing looks like

through her talent on the way back to the Cullen house.


11/61

Than we told them our adventure other than the

obvious part to the whole family, while I gritted my

teeth at Tanyas part.


12/61

Chapter 3: ProtectiveEdward and I had gone out hunting. Im pretty pleased

with myself, I would say. My hunting skills are getting

better. After I finished the elk, I brushed off some dirt

off my blouse. At least theres is no holes like my first

hunt. I giggled as I flashed back to my first hunt. I

smiled proudly. Edward had gone to another direction

to hunt mountain lions. I rolled my eyes to that, whats

the different between mountain lions and elks? Tsk.

Get your hands OFF ME!Edward, it was Edward! I

rushed over to him, only to see he was kissing a

stranger... ON THE LIPS! But Edward was trying to

back off, though she was a newborn. I could not hold

back, I was about to attack her when another male

vampire came up to me.Hey there babe, He spoke in a strong accent, want to

have fun? He put his arms around my waist to pull me

closer to him, ignoring my struggles, another

newborn.....

GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY GIRL! Edward growled a

deep snarl came from the back of his throat. His fury

blasted out, pushed the woman away and grabbed the

male vampire by the collar. IF YOU EVER PLACE

YOUR DIRTY HANDS ON HER AGAIN, YOU ARE GOING

TO PAY! Then he threw him across the clearing,

landing back facing the tree.


13/61

I stared as the woman still had the nerves to touch

Edward abs and say, hmm, Nice thick strong muscles

of yours, I like strong people like you, in a seductive

voice. Thats it, I growled and crouched down. Before

Edward could act, I pounced on her, both landing on

the floor rolling. I forced her to stand and grab her by

the hair. GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY MAN! and I

threw her across the clearing, just like Edward did.

Edward wound his arms around my waist and glared

at them, Come back again and its your death date.

Then he pulled me away from the clearing. Whathappened there? I asked, still angry. He looked down

at me and explained.

Edwards Point of View

I finished the last of the mountain lion. Though I was

feeding, all I could think about was Bella, my true love,

Bella. I was searching for Bellas scent when I heard a

thought: Wow...Muscles! Hot! Cute! Im so going toown him!

Then, she was right in front of me, clearly one of our

kinds. I snarled when I realized what she was about to

do. She smiled smugly and pounced on me, forcing a

kiss on me. I back off in disgust, Get your hands off

me! I growled, but she just keeps pressing herself

against me. Then I saw Bella. Eyes widened, teeth

bared, nostrils flared. And when I saw another vampire

tried to get on her, something stirred inside me

Hatred I immediately pushed the woman away,


14/61

trying to control myself before I kill them Carlisle

would be upset

Bellas Point of View

I hugged him tightly after he finished the story and

planted a kiss on his throat, already forgotten the

incident when his eyes mesmerized into mine. I giggled

and said, I love you, As I love you, then he leaned

down to kiss me adoringly.


15/61

Chapter 4: ThreatYeah! I win! I exclaimed as Edward reach me in two

seconds. We raced from the cottage to the main house. I

knew Edward was letting me win, but, who cares.

Edward placed his arm around my waist while we

walked in the house. Momma! Nessie called and came

running towards me. Hi there darling, I carried her

against my chest while she showed me her dreams last

night. I smiled at all the ponies and sweets, swimming

around in her personal wonderland. Thats when Isaw Alice, walking down the stairs. Something was

wrong, Alice is not wearing that happy smile like usual.

Alice? I called, whats wrong? she ignored me and

sat on the couch, stoning. I looked up at Edward,

looking for an explanation. But Edward said nothing

and shook his head. Ifigured it must be something verybad. And I needed to find out.Walked over to Alice and place my arms around her

shoulder. I rubbed it gently, trying to comfort her.

Alice, please, tell me, I pleaded. I could not bear to see

my favorite sister in so much pain. Jasper... she

murmured, barely audible. Edward finished the

sentence for her, Jasper broke up with Alice, I

gasped. What? Broke up? Why? Many questions startedto flood into my brain, but I was too shocked to ask any

of them. I looked at Alice, lips trembling at the sides.

Im sure Jasper has his own reasons... I trailed off

when she shook her head. I would have seen that, but


16/61

all I could see is that...that...he does not love me

anymore! Alice sobbed dryly. She hid her head in my

chest while I patted a small of her back. I decided to

confront Jasper. I didnt know where I got the courage;

I just had the feeling I needed to. I let go of Alice and

ran to Jaspers room. I wanted to knock on the door,

but there was no use in being polite now. I barged in

the room, only to see Jasper having his face buried in

his hands. Jasper, what happened? I asked I...I, I

dont know, I dont know anything! Go away! He

shouted. I have never seen Jasper in such bad mood

before.

Jasper... you know you can tell me, I know something

is very wrong, and you have the reason, tell me, I

pleaded. You would tell Edward, he groaned. I

wont, I swear, he looked up at me with dead eyes.

Jaspers Point of View

I reached out for Alices hand, which she gladly took it,

as we raced back home after hunting. When we reached

the entrance of the house, my phone rang. Alice skipped

in the house while I answered my phone. Hello? I

greeted politely, knowing it was a private number.

Greetings there, Mr. Jasper, I recognized the voice

Aro I peeked into the house, Alice was cleaning the

vase, so I darted out to the forest which was out ofAlices hearing range.Is this Aro? I asked suspiciously

Yes, well, you might find it weird we are calling you

now. But it has come to our concern that you and your

creator, Maggie, have created quite havoc.Wow, took


17/61

them long enough. Guess Edward was right when he

said the Volturi count days the way we count years.


So...the...Vol...Volturi said that they are to kill you

and your mate...? I stammered. He nodded. Oh, was

all I could say. Thats when Alice and Edward came

barging in. Why didnt you tell us Jasper? Alice

exclaimed. Its jus that...I...I...I do not want to pull you

guys into the matter! Alice groaned. Jasper, no

matter what, you are still part of the family. We either

settle this together or die together. Edward spoke up. Iwalked over to him and intertwined our fingers.

Edwards right Jasper, lets do this, together.Jasper

looked up at us as Alice walked to his side. I could see

he was touched. He nodded and whispered, Thanks

guys.


18/61

Chapter 5: VolterraMy whole family is ready to leave Volterra - . Well,

almost my whole family... I left Nessie under Jacobs

care. We brought nothing except for some clothes

which Alice argued with me, surprise, she won the

fight. I groaned. Carlisle and Esme took Rosalies red

convertible while Edward and I took Alices Porsche. I

felt a sense of dj vu, remembering the time when

Alice and I had to go save Edward, I shuddered.

Alice and Jasper took the front seats while Edward sat

with me at the back, which surprised me. He usually

insists on driving. It was a silent ride; I could almost

feel Jaspers stress. Its not your fault, Jasper,

Edward murmured, answering Jaspers silent question.

Yea, blame it on Maria, Nettie and Lucy, I joined in.Jasper shuddered when I said the names. We reached

Volterra the next day. It looks very different from the

last time I saw it. Maybe its because it isnt St Marcus

day today, what with all the reds. I had an odd urge to

bury my face into Edwards chest to sob, but we came

here for a mission, I controlled the urge.

I slipped through the all-so-familiar dark tunnel. Then Ifelt a presence behind me, who wrapped his arms

around my waist. Hello there, welcome back to

Volterra, Giana said politely. I was surprised she was

still human. Ah, how comforting, the whole Olympia


19/61

coven, Aro came from behind, everyone snarled a

little, except Carlisle. Hello there, old friend, Aro

greeted Carlisle, I see you all came for Mr. Jasper.

Dear friend Aro, my son has done nothing wrong,what he done had already gone with the wind, he is a

changed person, Jasper then stepped up to let Aro

know his thoughts. Edward growled when Jane and

Alec came into sight, I expanded my shield, shielding

everyone but Jasper. When Aro was done, I stepped

forward. Aro, we mean no harm, could you ask Jane

and Alec to stop wasting their efforts? While Iexpanded my shield around Jasper in a need of time,

Edward chuckled. Aro raised his hands to stop Jane

and Alec. Ah, Bella, long time no see, I trust you have

been great? Hows your darling daughter Nessie? Aro

asked with curiosity burned his eyes. Fine, I said

acidly, while I glared at Jane teeth bared- and dared

her to attack.

Ahh, Edward and Alice, nice to see you again, Alice

balled up her tiny hands while Edward rolled his eye.

Well, back to the problem, I have seen your story, Mr.

Jasper, but what you did when you were back than is

completely unacceptable. What are we going to do with

you? Alice growled while Edward held her back. No,

he has not, other than the time he almost killed Bella,Edward answered his thoughts. I shuddered. I thought

about my disastrous 18th birthday. Jasper would not

hurt anyone, anymore, we can promise you that, if you

could let us show you, that it, Emmett spoke up, for

once, I was proud of him. Sounds like a great idea, we


20/61

shall give you a year, we will be observing you, Aro

promised.


21/61

Chapter 6:Truth or

Dare: Cullen StyleARGH! IM SO BORED! Emmett shouted, Cant we

play a game or something? Rosalie hit the back of his

head with a loud smack, OWW! Whats that for? I

giggled. Emmetts right, its getting a little boring

around here, Alice racked her brain for something fun.

Dont even think about it, Alice, Edward warned,

while I settled on his lap, cuddled up in his chest.

Fine... How about a game of truth or dare? Emmett

jumped up to Alices idea, YEAH! COME ON

EVERYONE!

Everyone sat in a circle. Ok, me first! Emmett said

excitedly. He pointed Jasper who looks like he is going

to hyperventilate soon. Jasper, truth or dare?

Dare, he murmured

I dare you to...run out into the forest and shout, IM

TARZENNNNNNNNN! till the neighbors could hear.

Everyone laughed hysterically.

Jasper rolled his eyes and darted out of the house

towards the forest. IM TARZENNNNNNNNNNN! Welaughed, rolling on the floor; I lay on Edwards lap

while laughing. Jasper came back in, laughing, Not so

bad!


22/61

Than Jasper pointed at me. YES ME! OH GOSH! Im

dead. Bella, truth or dare?Dare, I would not say

truth, they would ask about my sex life. Ok, I dare you

to... kiss everyone in this circle... ON THE LIPS!

Everyone burst out laughing. But Edward glared at

Jasper. I giggled.

Its ok, were a family, I whispered in his ear and

kissed it lightly as I got up and kissed Rosalie, Emmett,

Jasper and Alice on the lips, hardly touching. When I

went back to Edward, I had a smug grin on and crushed

my lips to his. He wrapped his arms around my waistand I wrapped mine around his neck, tangling my

fingers in his bronze messy hair, pulling him closer to

me. Ahem, Emmett coughed. And I released Edward

unwillingly, laughing. Guess that was a wrong dare,

Jasper joked and everyone laughed.

O.K! MY TURN! Alice... She lose her smile, worried

clouded her face.

Dare... She answered. I dare you to...go to the night

club and get as many numbers as you can! I smiled

while the others laughed. Jasper looked untroubled.

Nice one love, Edward whispered in my ear, tickling

it with his breath. Alice grimaced and groaned,

Bella...Na ah, you chose dare! I laughed. She

sighed.

Alices Point of View

Im so going to kill Bella for this! HOW COULD SHE!

Hey there, can I have your number? Please? I said in


23/61

a seductive voice. The person stared at me, looking at

me up and down. How pervertic. I thought. I tried to

contain my grimace. He passed me a piece of paper

with numbers on it; I would just throw it away later.

Well, thats the 34s number! ONE MORE AND IM

FREE! Everyone laughed when I got a number, but I

would glare at them, especially Bella. I SO HATE HER!

Edward grimaced when he heard me.


Alices 34th number. I laughed hysterically. She looked

to funny when she tried to be seductive. I knew shesgoing to hate me for this, but I could not help it, its my

way of getting back at Jasper. Hey there pretty, can I

buy you a drink? I looked up. He is probably around

mid 40s. Disgusting. He was already drunk when he

place one of his hands on my shoulder which I shook it

off. Do you mind? I growled, narrowing my eyes into

slits. But he wrapped his arms around my waist andpulled me closer to him. Dont be like that,

sugar.Eww!

Get your hands off her idiot, Edward growled while

he pulled his arms off me. Who do you think you are,

man? he said, drunk. Her husband, than he pushed

him across the dance floor which everyone stared in

shock. I could see Edward was very angry, his topazeyes turning to solid, tempted to rip his head off. I

placed my hand on his chest, soothing him. Edward,

dont, I looked into his eyes. Not worth it, I thought for

him.


24/61

He regained back himself and wrapped his arms

around me. Sorry love, than he led me out of the

entrance to the car where the rest were waiting, Alice

was frowning. I laughed. She glared at me and gave me

the oh-you-are-so-going-to-pay look. I ignored her and

we went home laughing.

Edward! Alice pointed at him while he grimaced,

truth or dare? Ok...Wait... and her eyes went blank

for a moment, dare, okay...I dare you to... go to

Jessicas house and kiss her! Everyone burst out

laughing, except for Edward and me. NO WAY ALICE!I WILL NOT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN! I shouted,

angrily. Oh come on, you made me seduce people,

remember? than she laughed. I glared at her, growling

at the back of my throat.

Chill Bella, its just a peck, Alice said, rolling her eyes,

seeing how angry I was. Edward kissed me on the

cheeks to calm me. Its okay Bella, I doubt Jessicawould enjoy it either, what with the cold lips and all...

his breath tickled my ear, making me laughed shakily.


Edward! my favorite sister pointed at me. I grimaced.

Truth or dare? Ok...wait... she stopped me before I

could answer, dare, okay... I dare you to... go to

Jessicas house and kiss her!On the lips, she added in

her mind. Everyone burst out laughing except for my

Bella and I. Was Alice serious? NO WAY ALICE! I WILL

NOT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN! Bella shouted

angrily. Oh come on, you made me seduce people,


25/61

remember? Alice laughed while I narrowed my

eyeshot come on Edward, I doubt Bella is THAT

angry...She thought. Then I heard a growl from Bella

and threw a smug smile at Alice. She rolled her eyes.

Chill Bella, its just a peck, Alice said. I kissed Bella on

the cheek to sooth her. Its okay Bella, I doubt Jessica

would enjoy it either, what with the cold lips and all...

I whispered in her ear softly and she laughed shakily.

I climbed up to Jessicas window while the rest waited

below. Bella looked frustrated and I laughed internally.

She removed her shield just when I raised the windowplane silently. You better make it quick, Mr. Edward

Anthony Masen CULLEN, or you might get detention

from ME! She thought. I looked down; her arms crossed

on her chest and her feet tapping impatiently, a frown

on her face, eyes narrowed. I laughed silently and

climbed in.

Jessica was still wide awake. She saw me and gone into

shock. I kissed her lightly on her lip Eww, eggs and

sausages taste, disgusting and back off. She looked at

me, dumbstruck. When I was about to leave, she place a

restraining arm around my waist and pressed her lips

to mine once again. I pushed her to the floor and

jumped out of the window. I knew who the culprit of

this was.JASPERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! I

shouted. What? I only gave a bit of lust to you both...

he defended himself.


26/61

I ignored him and rushed over to Bella and crushed my

lips to hers... Ahh... I felt better at once. But Bella just

stared at me. Ohhh... she was throwing tantrums. I

chuckled. Excuse me everyone, apparently I need to

make up to my Bella, than I carried her, bridal style,

to our cottage, and thats where our fantasies begin

again.

Chapter 7: CollegeBellas Point of View

Oh gosh... must we really? I asked, desperate for a no.

Yes Bella, and if we dont leave now, we are going to be

very late. You would not want to be late on your first

day to school, do you? Edward had jus officially

confirmed my nightmare. Dartmouth, I sighed. Alice

specially picked up my wardrobe for today. Halter neckwith mini shorts. I groaned as I put them on. Edward

and I than took his Volvo to school.

We had every lesson together. Though it was my first

time attending college, all I could concentrate on is

Edward, not my studies. It was during Biology when

the bell FINALLY rang. Edward held my hand and led

me to the cafeteria. The rest were already there,pretending to eat. As usual, they as far as they could

from humans. That is when I noticed someone.

Someone familiar Jessica She was staring at us,

smiling like an idiot. No wait, she isnt staring at us,

she was staring at Edward. I growled while Edward

saw Jessica. He patted the small of my back and pulled

me against his chest and kissed my hair. The rest of theCullens giggled when they saw Jessica staring,

remembering the game.



28/61

Ill be right back okay? damn, I forgotten my trig

book. Bella nodded than I kissed her forehead before

she went into the class. I rushed to my locker and got

my book. When I closed it, I saw Jessica right in front

of me. What? I asked acidly.Erma, I was just

wondering... you know that time when we were making

out? I was just wondering if you would like to do it

again some time. She blushed. God, I had to get her off

my back. But she placed her hands on my chest,

drawing loops. I was about to speak when someone

shouted. JESSICA STANLEY! GET YOUR HANDS OFF

HIM RIGHT THIS MOMENT! Bella shouted angrily,

eyes narrowed. What the hell? Jessica thought. I

walked up to Bella and wrapped my hands around her.


If you ever put your hands on him, again, say goodbye

to your hands forever, I snarled at her, venom leaking

out. I could not bear to see my man with other women.Woo... CAT FIGHT! Emmett joined in. Edward and I

gave him a shut-the-hell-up look. He put his hands up in

the air, ok ok and chill guys. But apparently Bella,

your Edward came to my room last night and kissed

me... ON THE LIPS! Jessica butted in. ITS A DARE,

STUPID! I growled, furious, unable to control my

anger. Edward rubbed me on the shoulders, holding meback. That silenced Jessica. She turned her head and

ran to the car park. I swore I saw a drop of tear.

Edward cradled me in his arms, Im glad you

understand it is just a dare, he smiled the crooked


29/61

smile and touched my lips to his, not caring where we

were. But, just when we let go of each other and was

about to go to class. Surprise... The principal. I

grimaced. Carlisle and Esme are so going to kill us.


30/61

Chapter 8: DetentionGreat. Detention. Of all things. But the idea of having

Edward in a room, alone with me, cheered me up a

little. Edward wrapped his arms around me and pulled

me into the detention room. We sat at the back of the

room, side by side. There was a beat of silence. Erma,

Edward... I broke the silence. Yes? He asked,

smiling. You know, this room is so empty... and the

principal would only come in about 2 hours later... I

trailed off. But he just wore his crooked smile and his

lips silenced mine.

I crawled onto his lap and started to unbutton his shirt

as he pulled off mine. I was shivering with joy. I was

about to stop when the rest of the Cullens came

pouring in.I immediately wore a shirt, not bothering whose it was.

I was buttoning it up in vampire speed when I realized

it was Edwards shirt. I fell back into my chair and

giggled when I left Edward shirtless. He kept my hand

in his. Woo... what were you guys doing? Emmett

whistled while Rosalie hit him at the back of his head.

What are you guys doing here? I asked, trying tosidetrack them. Of course you would not wish we are

here... Emmett muttered. I shot him a look. Alice threw

Edward a shirt Thought you might need it, Edward


31/61

nodded the put on the shirt while they all explain their

purpose of being here.

Alices Point of View

ITS A DARE STUPID! Bella shouted furiously while

Jessica ran away, crying. I laughed a loud one. Mr.

Bernice glared at me, Do your work, Mrs. Cullen,Oh

come on, this is so boring! I realized I said that out

loud. Detention, Mrs. Cullen! I rolled my eyes and

stormed out of the classroom, mumbling

unintelligently.

Jaspers Point of View

It was history lesson... boring... I already knew

everything. But seriously, why is Mrs. Chew so opposed

to the south side? Seriously, the south side is the best,

dont you know anything? I shouted. Everyone stared

at me like I was crazy. Mrs. Chew felt angry. How

would you know? Mr. Cullen? She asked angrily.Because I was there stupid! pops, No wait, I mean

my parents, I sighed in relief. I thought you were

adopted, She said suspiciously.Whatever! This classis stupid! I shouted. Detention, Mr. Cullen!

Emmetts Point of View

I shook the spray cans while having a smug smile on.

Rose is so going to love this. I think. I started spraying

on all the lockers in pink spray paint: Rosalie Hale, I

own you! Thats when I was caught red handed by the

principal, creating trouble on your first day of

school?Than Rose came out of the classroom.


32/61

EMMETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! She

screeched.


I laughed hysterically, lying on Edwards lap. So

apparently the whole Cullen family is under detention!

HOW COOL IS THAT! Erma, Bella, Maybe you should

change shirt... The principal is coming in 2 minutes.

Alice said. The others faced their back to me while I

changed, all but Edward duh


33/61

Chapter 9: FunAlice pleases! You are so torturing me! I whined. Oh

come on Bella, dont spoil my fun just like that! Its just

ice-skating!JUST!? I rolled my eyes. I dont even know

how to roller-skate, for gods sake! Jasper sensing the

stress, said its okay Bella, Im sure you would have fun

when Edward is teaching you to ice skate, then he

winked at me, while I giggled. Edward came to my side

and hugged me and kissed me on the hair.

Well...fine... I groaned. Alice started jumping up and

down like a little kid whose mother just agreed to buy

her a huge lollipop.

It wasnt so bad. Except for the part where Alice dressed

me in tight spaghetti strips and mini skirt. Edward led

me by pulling my hand. Just keep your feet in a Vshape, love, I tried. But my feet would just

automatically become parallel. I dont know how, but I

tripped, landing on top of Edward. We both laughed.

Pops, sorry, you okay? hugging closer to him. A bit

better than okay... then he kissed me hungrily. I was

surprised when Edward suddenly stood up, carrying

my in his arms. Alice, we have some matters to attend

to, if you dont mind, Edward winked at Alice who

giggled, and then he carried me out of the skating ring

and rushed to the nearest hotel.


34/61

Chapter 10: Baseball-

Vampire StyleAnyone game for some ball? Emmett came running

down the stairs with a baseball bat and hat. I looked

out at the window. There was a thunderstorm, but no

rain, just perfect for vampire baseball. Im in, Alice

and Jasper said at the same time. Me too! Rosaliesaid. I looked at Edward, who was staring at me.

Edward and I are in too! I said while Edward

chuckled. Carlisle and Esme joined too. The others

raced off to the clearing while I went upstairs to get a

thicker jacket for Nessie. I didnt want her to catch a

cold while watching the game; not that the chance of a

half vampire getting ill was high. But nevertheless, it

made me feel slightly more assured.

Nessie hopped onto Edwards back and we were off to

the familiar clearing. Nessie squealed in delight as we

ran through the thick underbrush. I smiled as I

remembered the first time Edward showed me how he

travelled in forest. It nearly scared the living hell out of

me, not to mention the dizziness I felt afterward.Edward had to persuade me (I had no objection to his

method of persuasion) before I could allow him to sling

me over his back for the second time. I vaguely

remembered fearing about hitting trees, dying and

motion sickness.


35/61

My fears were absolutely unnecessary, I laughed to

myself as I raced through the forest with Edward and

Nessie by my side. I could see the leaves on each branch

as we ran past them. Come to think of it, we could

probably tell you the number of veins each leaf had. It

was clear to that extent. The forest slowly thinned out;

the glow of light started to get brighter as we

approached the clearing. I had a mixture of feelings

when we finally reached our destination. So many

things had happened here at this one spot; my first

encounter with the deadly tracker James, the fight with

Victorias newborn army; and the most recent, the

showdown with the Volturi. The first two threats were

now permanently eliminated, but Volturi will always

remain as a danger element in our lives. Edward set

Nessie down by the rock and went to join the rest in the

open field. I passed her the jacket and briefly explained

to her the rules of the game. It was her first time

watching baseball, the vampire style.

They had already split into two teams when by the time

I finished explaining; Alice, Jasper, Rosalie and

Emmett on one team, with the rest of the other. Esme

and I were to play the role of umpire. It was my first

baseball match after the change. But since the

transformation had not eradicated my clumsiness, it

was safer for me and the rest if I played the role of areferee or spectator. I watched as the rest took their

places. Alice was to pitch first. Batter up. I called out

in a clear voice. A peal of thunder sounded in the

distance, marking the start of the game. It was much


36/61

more exciting to watch when you have vampires

vision. You could catch every movement that human

eyes would miss, like the speed at which the ball was

flying. The players were no longer a blur as they ran

around the bases.

Out! Esme called as Rosalie slid into the base a

millisecond after Edward emerged from the edge of the

forest, ball in his upraised hand. Nessie cheered and

Rosalie stalked off sulkily, as the team changed its

batter. The score constantly changed as the game went

on. Edward played intelligently as usual, closing thegap between the two teams scores. Surprisingly, they

did not razz each other as often today. The game ended

when the thunderstorm subsided. The sky was a

brilliant orange as the sun slowly set. Spare me

please. Edward groaned when Esme announced the

result. Emmetts team had won by just one run. Yes!

Emmett then pulled his shirt over his head and began to

run around the field like crazy. Youll think that he had

just won the Major League. Rosalie rolled her eyes

while the rest laughed.

Daddy! Daddy! Nessie ran over to Edward and he

scooped her up and whirled her around. Daddy was so

great! She exclaimed excitedly as she recounted her

favorite moments. Nessies eyes were brimming withexcitement and admiration. I smiled adoringly at her

as I followed them back to the house.


37/61

Chapter 11: LessonsOn the count of three. One, two...Three! Emmett

grunted before Esme could finish, and shoved hard

against my hand. I felt my hand lost an inch or so. A

wide grin spread across Emmetts face. Losing your

touch already, little sister? He smirked. I told you so!

You cant beat me once the newborns effect wore off.

Im still the strongest Cullen!I glared at Emmett, who

was shooting a mischievous grin at Rosalie. I was

letting him have his moment before; but I couldntstand it whenever he started to boast. I flexed; the

boulder beneath us gave a loud deafening groan and

split neatly into two. In a blink of an eye, the match

was over. I had emerged victorious. Yay! Momma

won! cheered Nessie as she applauded loudly. She was

fascinated with our regular Sunday afternoon arm

wrestling match; it always made her eyes wonder withawe whenever her fragile looking mother won against

her big, muscular uncle.You were saying...? Big

Brother? I teased and Emmett snarled through his

clenched teeth. Just you wait. In a few months or so, it

will be my turn to laugh... Emmett murmured under

his breath. He turned, and stalked off in the direction of

the house. Rosalie gave an uninterested yawn and

followed soon after.

I snickered and whirled around in Edwards direction.

He was carrying our little angel; his face beaming with

pride. It lasted for a few seconds before it changed into


38/61

amusement; I had just tripped over a piece of jagged

rock while walking over to them. Nessie giggled,

sounding like a high-pitched peal of bells; and Edward

was still smiling in amusement. But Alice was

frowning. Okay, thats it. No more delays! Alice

grabbed my hand and dragged me towards the house. I

threw a confused look to Edward, who just shrugged

and followed behind us. Alice dragged me up to her

room while Edward stayed downstairs with the rest. I

sat on her bed while she went to retrieve something

from her huge walk-in closet. Feeling astonished, I

shook my head as I waited. I could never understand

why anyone would need such a big room just for

clothes; it was even bigger than my old bedroom at

Charlies house!

She came out several seconds later, holding a pale mint

colored evening dress. It was a strapless satin dress

with a chiffon bow at the waist; the bottom was

elegantly crafted with layer of chiffon material from

the knees till the anklets.Are we going anywhere? Iasked when Alice was done helping me into the dress.

Put these on. Alice ordered as she threw me a pair of

stiletto heels. I stared in disbelief as I looked at the

three inch heels I just caught in my hands. Must

I...Yes of course. Dont argue with me.I sighed in

defeat and slipped on the heels. I tried to stand up; andafter a few tries, I finally succeeded. Where are we

going? I asked again as I wobbled slightly on my feet.

Nowhere. Alice simply answered. She took a step

back and analyzed her work. This is better. She


39/61

nodded and gave a satisfied smile. Nowhere? I

repeated, confused. Then why did I have to dress up like

this?

Oh, Im just going to give you lessons on walkinggracefully. Alice answered to the confused look on my

face If you seen yourself just now, you would agree

with me. Thinking back to the little incident just now, I

frowned. I wasnt that bad, was I? Okay, Ill

demonstrate first. Then youll follow. With that, Alice

started to glide gracefully across the room. She could

give the best dancer in the world a run for her money. Itried to mimic her exact movements, but failed terribly.

I could hear Emmetts muffled laughs every time I

landed on the floor. Edward must have told the rest of

Alices plans. Just you wait till I get down there

Emmett! I hissed as I got up, hearing more laughter

from Emmett, who did not even bother to conceal it

anymore.

After what seems like eternity, I finally got the grasp of

it and could move gracefully across the floor without

landing on my face. I looked up at Alice hopefully, who

gave an approving nod. Finally, I thought, as I plodded

down on her bed to remove the killer heels. No, no!

Alice stopped me. You must show it to the rest. Theyre

dying to see how it all turned out.Alice had a huge grinplastered on her face. Dragging me out of the room

before I could protest, she came to a sudden halt at the

top of the stairs. Now make me proud okay? She

winked and skipped happily down the stairs, where the

audience was waiting. Taking a deep unnecessary


40/61

breath, I focused on Edward and Nessies beautiful

faces and glided gracefully down the stairs to their

side.

You looked gorgeous, love. Edward gave me a peck onthe lips. Nessie reached out for me and placed her hand

on my cheek. She replayed the scene where I tripped

this morning and when I walked down the stairs

moments ago. Okay, I was that bad. Bella! I never

thought that you can actually walk like that! Emmett

whistled. I smiled proudly. Alice stepped out front and

took an exaggerated bow. Lesson one completed. Now,what should I plan for lesson two? Alice murmured to

herself as she walked over to the couch and sat next to

Jasper. What? There are more lessons? Groaning, I sat

down at the nearest chair and took off my shoes. I

began to rub my ankles absentmindedly, even though

my feet do not ache from all the walking in the three

inch high heels for hours. Another advantage for being

an immortal. Now there Alice, dont change her too

much will you? I loved her the way she is. Clumsy and

all. Edward chided her playfully.

I shot Edward a grateful look as he looked into my eyes.

I melted on the spot, and continued staring into his

liquid topaz eyes. It was too mesmerizing. I could stare

at them all day long. Just then, Nessie gave a loudyawn. I looked out of the window for the first time since

I came downstairs. Night had already fallen. Wow, I

thought. I did not realize that I had actually spent

hours perfecting my walk. Alright, were going back.

Nessie is tired. Alice, Ill return you the dress


41/61

tomorrow. Everyone else waved goodbye and

murmured good nights. Alice just waved dismissively

in response; she was still busy planning my future

lessons. Slinging the heels over my shoulder, I slid my

free hand into Edwards and stepped into the cool

darkness. We sprinted our way back home, where the

comfort of our cozy cottage was waiting.


42/61

Chapter 12:

MisunderstandingThe time we spent at the meadow was wonderful. We

did not have many chances of going to the meadow

since Nessie was born, so last night was a great treat.

The night sky was surprisingly clear last night; we

could see countless of stars shine above our heads. Not

that much time was spent on star gazing; we had more

important stuff to do. I laid my head on Edwards chest

as I watched the rays of sunshine slowly brightened the

dark sky. Sunrise was my favorite part of the day;

every sunrise meant a new beginning and another

beautiful day with my Edward and Nessie.

Soon, the sun was up, and our skins glistered like

diamonds under the sunshine. I smiled as I sat up and

looked at Edward. I ran my fingers over his arm as I

took in his beauty. He was beautiful, and he was mine.

He had no longer referred his skin as the skin of a

killer; I had helped to change that mindset of his.

A sudden question popped up in my head. I did not plan

to ask him, but I was honestly curious. Edward? I

called; he rolled his head over to look at me. Yes love?He smiled.

Would you cry if I left? I started off. He looked

confused at my question, but than his expressions

cleared.


43/61

No, He answered. I looked up in shock, what was he

talking about? HOW COULD HE ANSWER NO! I decided

to try again.

Would you come after me if I walked away?

No, I was at the brim of tears, though I know

vampires could not cry.

Would you do anything for me?

No.

Your life or me?My Life.

Do I ever cross your mind?

No

Do you like me?

NoI looked up at him. There was a major hole in my chest,

like a dozen knife stabbing at me at one time. I stood up

and ran away in vampire speed. Wait Bella! I ignored

him and ran to the Cullen house. Bella? Esme caught

me when I came running in the house. Sobbed dryly in

her arms. Thats when the rest of the Cullen family

came pouring down. Bella, honey, its okay... whathappened? Esme rubbed my back to sooth me, but I

was sobbing even harder.

Edward came running through the door, one hand

stretched out in front of him. Bella, love, would you


44/61

please let me explain? He said as softly as possible.

WHAT IS THERE TO EXPLAIN? I knew it was never

right for you to love me anyway! Now you have proved

me right! I shot at him. He flinched and looked taken

aback. I ran into Edwards room, though it was the last

place I want to be. I slammed the door and locked it,

though I know this would not stop Edward from

coming in, but at least he would know I want to be

alone. There was silence downstairs, and then I heard

shuffling. I could not make out anything from it. Then I

heard a knock. Bella?

What Alice? I said acidly.Bella, would you at least

allow Edward to explain?I got sick from all the

pleading, asking me to listen to Edwards explanation. I

also pretty much want to hear what he could say.

FINE! I shouted. And opened the door. Hes at the

meadow! She called after me while I ran down stairs.

Nessie was there in Jacobs lap, looking a bit terrified. I

ran to the meadow, only to see Edward lying there, like

a statue. He heard me and came running to me, pulling

me into his arms tightly. I pushed him away.

Just say what you want, I said between my teeth.

Bella love, firstly, you have all the reasons for me to

love you, never doubts that.I groaned. Secondly,

Bella, the reason I would not cry for you if you let isbecause I would die if you left. The reason I would not

go after you if you walked away is because I would not

let you leave me.


45/61

The reason I would not do anything for you is because I

would do everything for you. The reason I would not

cry for you is because I would die for you. The reason I

chose my life over you because you are my life. The

reason you do not cross my mind is because you are

always on my mind. The reason I dont like you is

because I love you.I stared at him while I processed all

his words, the meadow was spinning and I was still in

his arms. I could not speak; the time would not grow

any sweeter. Bella, do you forgive me? I looked up at

him while his golden eyes shouldered into mine. I was

still speechless, so I just nodded my head. He smiled the

crooked smile and I reached up on my toes to kiss him.


46/61

Chapter 13: The

CruiseAnd to celebrate that, we are all going on a cruise!

Alice squealed. What? Are you insane? Alice? I

shouted. Its Edwards birthday. We were just

celebrating happily when Alice spilled the news to us.

We...we... cant go on a cruise! I... I I tried to find

excuses. Oh yes we can, Alice challenged. I glared at

my favorite sister. She can be so annoying sometimes!

Fine, but I doubt Im going to enjoy it! I groaned.

Erma... Bella... Edward, Nessie and Jacob are going

too, Alice reminded mesas much as I want to admit; I

actually quite liked the idea of going on a cruise with

my family. Except for the spending time with Alice part.

I must admit, it was pretty fun. We went to spas,

swimming, manicure, massages, and not to forget all

the free time I can spend with Edward in the room at

night.

Bella, mind helping me pass this package to Nessie?

Its just some clothes. I nodded and walked in human

speed to Nessies room. Nessie and Jacob stay in one

room, just beside Edward and mine. It was when Istepped through the room when I had a shock of my

life. I gasped and dropped the package onto the floor

with a loud bang must have been a lot of clothes in

there Edward heard my gasp and ran over to Nessie


47/61

room to take in what I saw. Jacob hovering over Nessie

on the pink bed.

My eyes were popping wide. Hearing the loud bang

from the package, Jacob and Nessie immediatelylooked up and gasped. They immediately wore clothes

and I hid my head in Edwards chest. I could feel and

deep rumble in his chest, and heard a soft growl in his

throat. But I just hugged him tighter. Edward patted

me on the back. I could not dare to see my daughter

and my best friend making love right in front of me.

Mum... Nessie whined. I raised my head fromEdwards chest, than I felt something growing in me

Anger- Go get Jasper, I whispered to Edward while he

nodded and disappeared. I glared back at Nessie and

Jacob; Jacob had his hands wrapped around Nessies

waist while Nessie lay comfortably on his chest. That

only made me angrier. I was about to speak when

Edward and Jasper came in. I felt a sense of calmaround me and nodded my head towards Jasper,

thanking him. He smiled encouragingly while I took a

step closer to Nessie and Jacob. Mum, Im sorry... But

you do know Im 15 now and I cant grow any older.

Jacob is all I want. Please? Nessie pleaded. But I was

looking at Jacob.

Jake? He looked up. Guiltiness was written all overhis face. Im sorry Bella, I... I... Its just... that... No

but... He sighed. He could not think of anything to

come up with. I sighed and walked over to Edward and

hugged him. He smoothed my hair, knowing what I


48/61

want. Jacob, Nessie, you do know it is very

irresponsible of you, Edward scolded. I tightened my

grip on him. Yes... They both said harmoniously.

Than what do you plan to do about this now?

Erma... Nessie hesitated. I will marry her, Jacob

said in a loud and clear voice. I looked up at him; he

was all serious about his words. I groaned and place

my head back onto Edwards chest. Are you serious,

Jacob? Would you really take care of my daughter for

eternity?Yes, I do It sounded like the marriage is held

here, now.

Edward sighed and wrapped his arms around my

waist, pulling me toward our room. Bella love... He

said softly. I nodded. He knew exactly what I meant. So

he just placed a finger on my chin, forcing me to look up

at him and kissed me on my cheek.


49/61

Chapter 14: ExamsOh god... Exams... I havent even studied! I knew I was

just going to fail everything! All thanks to all the time I

had spent with Edward, Nessie and the stupid cruise.

Calm down Bella, youre not going to fail, Jasper,

sensing my stress, tried to calm me. But...but... I

stuttered. Edward pulled me into his lap and kissed meon the hair.

Its going to be okay, love, He whispered. I looked up

at him and he threw a meaningful look at me. ***I sat

slowly in my seat. If I was still human, I would have

hyperventilated by now. Edward sat beside me, a good

3 feet away.Ok... doomsday. The teacher walked past

me while we were doing the paper. Everything wentpretty well... well, thats what I thought. It was only

question six when I stared at the paper. Fifty questions

and I are stuck at question six. Great. Twenty-four,

Edward whispered. I looked up at him seeing that he

was smiling angelically at me. The answer is twenty-

four, He tried again. I looked back at the paper and

checked. Twenty-four. He was right. I looked back atEdward while he winked. I giggled softly. And so, that

is how I passed my exams. All credits to Edward are

whispering of answers. Though I might add that I did

not only pass, I got full marks! Yes, fifty out of fifty.


50/61

Charlie must be proud of me. Edward waited for me in

his Volvo. I slid in and he pecked me on the cheek.

Hows the exam, love? He teased. I elbowed him in his

rib lightly. Just great, Than we both laughed.


51/61

Chapter 15: Double

CheckAlices Point of View

There! All done! I smiled at my wonderful piece of art. I

had just created a perfect statue of me with cards! How

cool is that! I was about to skip my way to Jasper when

I had a sudden vision.

The Volturi guards, Aro, Marcus and Caius marching

towards us in dark black coats. I shuddered and I heard

Edward growled. He must have seen what I saw. I

walked into the dining room where everyone is already

seated. I sat beside Jasper and placed my arms around

him. Edward must have told them what happened.

Jasper looked really stressed. There was silence for a

moment. The Volturi would not be any threat, they are

just here to check on Jasper, I said, breaking the

silence, trying to calm everyone. Bella broke her statue

form and placed her hands on Edwards. Edward

looked at me meaningfully. And then I saw him asking

me when they will be coming.Tomorrow, when the sun

sets. I thought. He nodded while Bella looked at himquestionably. He just shook his head and smiled.



52/61

The sun was setting and we all stood in the clearing

side by side, where Alice saw where the Volturi would

be. I slid my hand in Edwards while he squeezed it

once. Then they arrived. I felt a sense of dj vu,

remembering the time when they came for Nessie. I

snarled. Carlisle stepped forward, I could see hints of

stress in his golden eyes. Aro, my friend, I see you

have come to check on my son! Carlisle exclaimed.

Aro, Marcus and Caius stopped walking, leaving a good

10 feet space between us. I expanded my shield to shield

everyone.

We have no time for nonsense, Carlisle, Caius

snapped back and waved Jasper forward. Alice,

Edward and I growled while Emmett and Rosalie

looked like they were ready to fight. Peace, my

friends, Aro said while Jasper walked towards Aro,

hand extended. He stepped out of my shield and

shook Afros hand. Edward snarled while he took in

what they saw. I squeezed his hand to warn him about

his temper. The problem is cleared, Jasper will not

hold any threat, Aro said, lifting his hand from Jasper.

I almost sighed in relief. Aro then turned his attention

to me while Jasper stepped into the shield, walking

towards Alice. I trust you and your mate is doing well,

how is Renesmee? I flinched. Good, I replied, not

wanting to say more. He just nodded and smiled, thenwalked off with the other two Volturi guards.


53/61

Chapter 16:Graduation

I combed my hair at the dressing table, looking at all

the cosmetics Alice passed to me. If you dont know

how to apply it, call me, Alice glared at me. I sighed

and continued combing my hair while Edward

suddenly appeared behind me, and on the mirror. He

snaked his arms around my waist and squeezed it

lightly. Happy graduation, He whispered as I

giggled. He took the comb from my hand and combed

my hair for me. It felt good. When he finished, I stood

and kneel on the chair, facing him, and reached up to

kiss him adoringly, my way of thanking him.

It was just as bad as I thought. It reminded me of when

I graduated in Forks high school. All the bad memories

started to flood into my brain. Time passed quickly as I

went up the stage to receive my diploma. We threw out

graduation hats up high than it was raining hats!

Edward hugged me from behind while I lay on his chest

as the rest of the family came to our side. This calls fora party! Alice squealed. I groaned while the rest

laughed.


54/61

Chapter 17: JobsWHAAAAAAAAAAAT?! ARE YOU INSANE ALICE?! I

shouted at the top of my lungs. No, Im not insane

Alice smirked. I glared at my favorite sister than gaveup, running towards Edward and threw myself into his

arms as I complained. He just chuckled and said,

Sorry love, you know its difficult to change Alices

plan. Besides, she already set up the company.So

whats my job? Emmett joined in excitedly. Turned out

that Jasper is the boss, Emmett the manager, Edward

the CEO, Im Edwards secretary, Alice the promoterand Rosalie and Nessie the models. My mouth hung

open when I took in that. ***Hmm... These products

arent selling well... Alice noted, speaking in a

business-like manner. I laughed while she shot me the

shut-up look. Nessie and I had already done whatever

we can... Rosalie complained. Erma, why not we all

four model for the products? Alice suggested. I glared

at her, telling her a silent no. Edward would be furious.

Alice stuck her tongue out like a two year old and

dragged me to the platform where we modeled few

weeks later, the products ARE selling well. We than hi-

fived our success.


55/61

Chapter 18:

DistractionsOne... two... three... four. Four files for Mr. Edward

Cullen to sign. I giggled at his name while I gathered up

the files. I walked to the front of his office as gracefully

as I could and took a deep breath before knocking on

the door. Come in, a sweet, velvet voice ordered. I

smiled. I opened the door that has a barely audible

creak. Edward was sitting on his chair, hands behind

his head, a godlike creature.

I shook my head to clear it. Mr. Edward, I have some

files for you to...Yes, yes, bring them here, He

interrupted, clearly impatient. I walked over to his side

and place the files on his table. Then, I was on his lap.

He wrapped his arms around my waist while I kissed

him fiercely. You have no idea how long Ive been

waiting to do this, Edward moaned. I smiled.Somehow, we landed on the floor, Edward over me. I

unbuttoned his shirt and ran my fingers along his

chest. He moaned and pressed his lips onto mine again.

***We lay on the floor, naked. I rested on his chest,


56/61

feeling contented. I could not believe we just made love

in the office. Its kind of ridiculous if you think about it.

You know, we could do this again sometime, Edward

said playfully. I nudged him and replied you wish,

Then I pressed my lips onto his once more.

Chapter 19: Powder-

puff


DUDE! HURRY UP! THE GAME IS ON! Emmett yelled

from across the house. I sighed as I jumped over the

couch and sat down in the middle of Emmett Jasper.

Emmett picked up the control and turned the TV on and

instantly some little kid show popped up. He scoffed as

he reached to change the channel...Click. That did not

sound good. He tried again.Click.Not well at all.Emmetts face was over-thrown with frustration,

Click.Click, click, clicks. WHAT THE HELL, MAN!?! he

yelled, throwing his hands in the aid. We all looked at

the TV and it said we were watching The Power puff

Girls. We all stared at the 3 little girls on the screen

who can fly and have super strength. Soon, we forgot

all about the game as we stared at the TV in silence.Dude, Buttercup owns, Emmett said after about 15

minutes. What?! Hell no! Look at Bubbles! She is so

sweet and innocent! And she can talk to animals...

Jasper said. You both are wrong. Obviously, Blossom

is the best. That is why she is the leader, I said,

grinning. Blossoms only the leader because she is

boring! And doesnt have any fun! Emmett yelled.

Oh, so having fun is wanting to punch someone outevery two seconds? I said, raising my eyebrows. Hey,

its more fun than talking wimpy animal and making

bubbles, Emmett replied, smirking. Bubbles are the

cutest thing to walk on the earth! Plus, her hair is way

nicer than Buttercups and Blossoms, Jasper replied,

snapping in a Z formation. I laughed. Blonde?!

Seriously?! Whos hair is blonde now-a-days?! Emmettreplied, smirking. Ahh...your wife, I replied, and

erupted into laughter, He glared at me. Well, at least

short black hair is better than GOLDEN BRONZEY

GOODNESS!! Emmett said in a girly voice. Bronze

goodness? Seriously Me? Jasper said, laughing.

Blossoms hair is the coolest looking. Its long and has

that huge bow!

GAAAAAAAAAAAY! Emmett yelled. Well, Blossom IS

more powerful than both Bubbles and

Buttercup,OVER BUTTERCUPS DEAD BODY!!

Emmett yelled. Dude, didnt you see the tooth fairy

episode?! Jasper and I rose out eyebrows at himso

THAT S why the TV is on this channel in the first

place... Jasper mumbled to me. I nodded. Bubble isbetter. She is totally emotional, meaning: better.

Jasper said smugly. Dude, Buttercup has strength!

SOOO much better in a fight1If you dont have a

brain, it doesnt matter. I grinned. That was definitely

directed at Emmett. He growled at me and I laughed.

You want to take this outside?! Emmet said, getting

up.

After you... I said, getting up and motioning him to go

ahead. Jasper followed us as we ran into the front yardand took battle positions. Buttercup could so kick

Blossoms butt any day, Emmett said, and I lunged at

him, ramming into a tree. Jasper came up from behind

and threw me into a tree, and made to punch Emmetts

face. Emmett grabbed his fist and punch him in the

face, sending him flying into a tree near me. I got up

and charged at Jasper while he was at his weakest, andwe wrestled around on the ground, and Emmett joined

in the wrestling match. Jasper got on top of me, holding

me down. I brought up my foot and kicked against his

chest, and he flew backwards into the air about 50 feet,

crashing through a window on the second story of our

house. Emmett and I stared at the window. Wow, We

heard Jasper moan, out of view. We heard a snicker,

and spun around to see Bella, Alice and Rosalie trying

to hold in laughter. Fighting over the Power puff girls?

Really? Rosalie said, laughing more. Alice and Rosalie

walked into the house while Bella walked over to me.

She leaned down and put her lips to my ear. I always

like Blossom, anyways, She whispered, and I

shuddered.

Rosalie and Alice poked their heads out of the front

door, fury on their face, before they spoke in unison.

What did you just say!?!I chuckled and pulled Bella

into my arms and kissed her while the rest started to

rant about it.

Chapter 20: New TownBellas Point of View

Everyone was getting suspicious. I just knew it.

Everyone looked at us like we have three heads or

something. Whenever Edward and I walked down the

streets, people would start murmuring things like,

They look like they would never age! Did you see the

doctor? How long have they been here?Edward and

I would flinch to every single remark. We knew what

we had to do. Where? Alice asked excitedly, jumping

up and down when Edward and I reached home,already in the plan. Emmett and Rosalie were

grumbling about start high school again while Carlisle,

Esme and Jasper stood there, discussing on which

places to go. Nessie and Jacob came walking towards

us, hand in hand. We have to find somewhere less

conspicuous, Carlisle said I would not think of

anywhere less conspicuous than Forks, Nessie saidsarcastically, rolling her eyes. How about somewhere

more conspicuous? Esme suggested. But we would

stay at home like REAL vampires, I whined. Arent we

real enough? Edward whispered in my ear. I smiled

while he chuckled.

In the end, we did decide on somewhere more

conspicuous. Chicago. Hometown of Edward. I waspretty excited, to actually stay in the place where my

love was born and once lived. But, we would not know

what would be ahead of us. To be continued.
