woke up in twilight , 1 month before Bella arrives

Anna's POV:

"I have to go shopping today. Elizabeth Arden has an eye shadow in her new make-up line that will fit perfectly to my new peach coloured dress." Alice hummed happily as she sat in the back seat of Edward's car snuggled up next to Jasper.

"Good for you Alice." Edward shook his head in amusement stroking lazy patterns on the back of my hand which he held in one of his own just as my phone rang out.

I fished it out of my bag and took a look at the caller ID.

"Hey Seth how are you?"

"I'm fine….kind of. Being away from Aya is making me edgy." He sounded apologetically.

"I know what you mean." I said remembering the time away from Edward.

"Listen I just wanted to tell you that I will be moving in with my aunt in a few days. I'm sure you already heard of it."

"I did but how did you manage that? I mean…"

"Yeah I know but she is also a Quileute. She knows the legends. Mom told her of my situation and together we came up with a reason so I could stay with them." He interjected.

"But what about college?"

"It would be no use anyway if I were to be separated from Aya."

"Guess your right."

"O.K. I still have some packing to do. I just wanted to inform you and not simply brag in there."

"Sure thanks, Seth. Bye."

"Bye Anna." He said and hung up.

"You don't look happy." Edward assessed after a minute, squeezing my hand lightly before he brought it to his mouth and placed a tiny kiss on my wrist.

What happened with Lear still nagged at him. Ever since I was back he was not able to let me out of his sight. Not that I was complaining about his company but I hated the sometimes desperate and lost look he had in his eyes.

Unfortunately he still tended to fight battles inside his head from time to time but at least no harsh decisions followed those battles anymore.

"It's just a pity that he has to give up studying medicine. Seth was looking forward to the entire college experience." I shrugged.

No one said anything to that but Edward interlocked our fingers and kissed the back of my hand. The rest of drive to school happened in silence while I was lost in thoughts.

Apollo and the others would leave soon. They had all recovered at least physically. I had become especially close with Mischa. There was just no way not to like her. She was the sun shine of the group.

As for Apollo he gave me a few advices for the use of my shield and offered his help once I became a Vampire and the real extend of the power of the shield would show.

"Morning! You alright again?" Tia greeted as she was walking with Fin in tow towards Edward, Jasper, Alice and me while we were getting out of the car.

"Hey, yeah everything's alright again. What about you?" I asked back.

Before Tia could answer she was attacked by Alice and pulled into a hug. Tia hugged her back while a little smile tugged at her lips but quickly disappeared the moment she looked up at Edward.

He winced only a second after her glare hit him.

"Tia when you are shouting at me it is harder for me to try to stay out of your mind." My poor Vampire nearly groaned.

"Just a warning. I can keep that up for a very, very long time." She informed him with a raised eyebrow and her hands on her hips.

"Yes, I gathered that." He replied sarcastically and shook his head.

I touched his cheek with my fingertips and offered him a sweet smile before his arm encircled my waist and he pulled me into his hard chest pressing his lips against my forehead.

"Move it. There is nothing to ogle here." Tia's irritated bark tore me out of my happy place.

I turned around to look at her and saw her glaring across the parking lot. Following her line of view I saw a few girls that were rooted in place just mere feet away from where we stood, starring at Edward, Jasper and Fin in awe and carnal lust.

The girls started to giggle and took off but not before they stole one last longing look at the objects of their affection.

I only sighed. I was used to this by now.

"Really." Tia huffed in disgust.

I shrugged, rolled my eyes and snuggled further into Edward's side as he had his arm locked around my waist and was holding me close to him.

"How can this not bother you?" Tia asked me still upset.

"I'm not saying that it doesn't bother me but what am I to do lock him up in the basement?"

"Well that's an idea." Tia exclaimed.

"I would propose handcuffing to your bed. I have even seen handcuffs that would go with your bedclothes." Alice chirped happily.

Tia looked curious about Alice's offer.

"But do they make them strong enough to hold my man in place?"

"Jasper I would really appreciate it if your girlfriend wouldn't give my girlfriend any stupid ideas." Fin muttered while he tried to get Tia to move into the direction of the school building and away from Alice.

Jasper only smiled and shook his head.

"What about you, Anna? Handcuffs?" Tia challenged and I could feel Edward's gaze on me.

Suddenly I felt like being a little evil.

"I rather use silk scarves." I shrugged and walked past Tia and Alice who looked at me as if I had grown a second head.

"Silk scarves?" Edward whispered in a husky voice in my ear as we were ambling into the school building.

I turned my head to look at his darkening pools of honey.

"I have my fantasies." I breathed seductively.

Yep, I was evil!

Edward sucked in a sharp breath and his amber depths filled with desire.

"Will you tell me?" His voice sounded luxurious like crushed velvet.

We stopped at my locker and I lifted my hand to bush the dark brown coloured locks with the slightly rusty colouring here and there that fell into his face out of his eyes.

"I will show you all in due time." I breathed flirtatiously.

"You are killing me." He groaned while his face twisted in sweet pain and longing.

"Doubt that's possible." Tia snorted.

"Hey Tia."

"Yeah, we had that just a few minutes ago and if we don't hurry we will be late for class." She rolled her eyes at me.

"Speaking of the devil where are Emmett and Rose?" I wondered. I haven't seen them in the morning at home.

"They decided to also get sick and are currently taking some alone time." Alice provided the answer as she skipped to my side.

I saw Jasper walk to his class and Aya walk into my line of sight. She gave me the evil eye and continued walking as if I didn't exist.

"Did I offend her somehow?"

Fin sighed heavily appearing out of nowhere.

"She is not exactly happy about the entire situation with Seth."

"Why? He is a nice guy."

"That he may be but Aya always lived in her own world. She is highly gifted and….well….complicated." He drew out the last word while he looked apologetically at me.

Edward's POV:

"I hope you had a nice stay." Esme said as she was saying goodbye to Penelope and Mischa. They and the others from their clan had recovered enough to be able to get home.

"Yes, of course. Thank for everything you and your family done for us." Penelope replied while she was snuggled into Tristan's side.

Mischa smiled at Esme before she went over to Anna and hugged her goodbye. In the short time the both of them knew one another Mischa had taken a liking to my mate.

"Visit soon and you have to come to our wedding." Anna told her.

"Wouldn't miss it for the world." Mischa smiled at her.

"If you have any problems building the machine for the substitute blood together just call." Carlisle offered.

"I will. It was a pleasure to meet you Carlisle." Apollo said with respect and honesty ringing in his voice.

My eyes wandered over the hallway where we all were standing in and over the faces of the thirteen Vampires that had become our allies and had interest and potential in becoming our friends.

Even though Eros, Chronos, Dominic, Blake and Leighton weren't interested in the vegetarian life style, yet, hopefully, they did not exclude themselves from the others. They still regarded Apollo's clan as their home.

I could understand their need to make their own experiences and mistakes. Even in the short time I spend near them when they were over at our home or we visited them I could see in their minds how Lear controlled them from the start.

Even before he had regained his memories back he forced his will on them. Never in an amount that would alarm them or tick them off about the fact that the choice they made weren't their own.

Great power always had been a great temptation.

Great power corrupted.

I gazed at my Anna. She was smiling and she was happy. I hoped I could make sure she would always smile. I prayed her abilities wouldn't steal the cheerful, witty girl that was full of life and who I loved with everything I was.

I shook my head to chase the dark thoughts away and watched as the both leaders were shaking hands before Apollo and his clan took off.

I stepped behind Anna and placed an arm on either side of her, drawing her into my body, needing to feel her against me. I use my left hand to move the hair from the right side of her neck and peppered her creamy, smooth skin with feather light kisses.

"Can you feel Apollo leaving?" Kate asked curiously from my right.

I fought hard not to let my body tense and the growl that rumbled through my chest to escape through my lips.

"Yeah, the pressure against my shield is getting less the farer he is away." Anna answered in an indifferent voice.

Her tone pleased me a little and smoothen the green eyed monster inside me.

"Guess it is now our time to say goodbye." Eleazar announced.

"We can't wait to come back for your wedding." Carmen smiled at both Anna and me.

"Not to forget the bachelorette party." Tanya threw in, laughing while she shot me an amused look that promised mischief.

I couldn't help but groan at whatever she had in mind for that dreaded bachelorette party.

Our wedding would take place about ten months before Tanya would marry David again. She was looking forward to the calibrations.

"Oh boy! I think I'm scared." My love mocked horror.

"Well since we are planning the bachelorette party together with Alice I think you have reason to." Kate giggled.

I didn't like the sound of that at all.

"Oh come on Edward you of course get a bachelor party." Garrett chuckled.

"And that is supposed to cheer me up." I raised an eyebrow at him in disbelieve and disgust. He just shrugged.

I rolled my eyes at him and caught the sight of Alain. He didn't leave with his former clan members. In fact he decided to go with our cousins to Alaska. He and Irina weren't a couple yet, they were standing awkwardly next to each other like two pieces of a puzzle that fit perfectly together but haven't figured out how yet and were hesitant to do so. Both of them had their pasts to deal with. Hopefully they would be able to heal each other.

When Tanya and the others also left I exhaled loudly, enjoying the fact that my mind had a little bit more peace now that only six other voices rang in it but unfortunately neither one of those voices was the one I wanted to hear the most.

Anna and I went to our room and lay down on the couch in our living room. Anna rested her head over the place where my cold, dead heart would be racing at the feel of her body against mine if it could.

I kissed the top of her head taking her scent in while letting each of her heart beats vibrate through my frame as her heart was beating for the both of us

While I enjoyed the beautiful melody her heart was playing for me my tongue traced the seam of her lips tasting her before my mouth closed over hers in a soulful and needy kiss.

I was sitting up in the crown of a tree watching as twilight touched the mountains and the tops of the trees, lost in my thoughts as I heard Jasper approach me.

"What do you want Jasper?" I sighed.

"That's a friendly greeting." He teased me with an amused smirk on his face.

"Why are you blocking me?" I asked not looking at him while he sat down on a branch next to me.

"The better question is: what's biting you?"

"What do you mean?" I knew exactly what he was talking about but that didn't mean I was in the mood to be cooperative.

"You've got an excellent poker face but you can't hide your emotions from me." He reminded me smugly.

I said nothing, gritting my teeth together.

"Alright then the hard way. Why have you been feeling jealous and irritated all the time?" He asked in an emotionless voice as if he asked me about yesterday's weather.

"It's your choice. You can talk with me or my lovely and quite determinate wife is going to hunt you down." He chuckled in warning.

I sighed irritated but I did prefer Jasper in this case.

"I hate it that he has this connection with her. That she can sense him." I admitted.

I knew it was irrational but I couldn't help feeling jealous. I was denied to enter Anna's mind, the only mind that had ever really interested me, but he could sense hers.

"And why do you hate it so much?"

My head whipped around and I looked sharply at him.

"As little as that is, he has access to something I never will have. I hate it that he can help her where I fail to be there for Anna."

"Shouldn't you be thankful that there is someone who can help her with her gift?" He asked me staring at me with a raised eyebrow.

I sighed heavily as guilt and shame washed over me.

"I know that and I am but still…..The fact that they can sense each other is scaring the living day light out of me. What if..." My insides were twisting together, burning, dying at the thought.

What if…..

"Edward stop! That's nonsense and you know it." Jasper chided me.

I hung my head in shame.

"Yeah, I know....the rational part of me knows that. It's just that the shock and the fear are still deeply rooted in my bones. I'm going a little crazy. How often did I already come close to losing my Anna?"

"Driving yourself crazy won't make it better. And Apollo isn't a threat for you, Edward. Anna loves only you. No other guy sparkles any interest in her. I mean as smart as my little sister is she certainly is blind when it comes to men. She doesn't notice the looks males are giving her. Or she just ignores them. And the only one who's affection she wants is you." I had to admit it did good to hear that.

"And you should be thankful for Apollo's presence at least she has someone now who is able to help her if a situation should occur. I'm talking from experience." He stated.

"Experience." I repeated with my eyebrows scrunched up in confusion.

"How do you think I felt when you entered Alice's life? Suddenly there was someone who could give her what I couldn't. You can share something with her that I can't to the same extent. You were able to help her where I couldn't. That was not easy to stomach at first." I was a little taken aback by his confession.

"That's the reason for your kind of hostile and cold behaviour towards me back then?" I asked being utterly stunned.

I knew Jasper didn't like me at first but it was hard to get a good read out of him. Alice saw that I was a mind reader. She shared the information with Jasper who had always been good a blocking me.

Jasper shrugged before he replied.

"I was scared that I might loose Alice to you even though deep down I knew that she loved me but emotions are irrational. I should know."

"Tell me about it." I huffed in defeat.

"At least you are not pulling such a fuss over the pup." Jasper chuckled lightly.

"What can I say once Anna told me she would really love to tie a red bow around his neck while he was in his wolf from because and I quote here "He would look sooo cute with it" I could only feel sorry for the poor guy." I shook my head at the memory of that conversation.

Jasper looked at me for a long moment as a picture of Seth in wolf form popped out in his mind with a huge red bow tied around his neck. It wasn't long before he couldn't hold his laughter in anymore. He laughed so much that he almost fell off the tree. Despite myself I also had to chuckle at the image.

"Sorry but that's just…" He chuckled.

"Your wife is rubbing off on my fiancé." I accused.

He shrugged not denying it.

I leaned back and my head rested against the trunk of the tree.

"I really hope Anna is right and that was the last dangerous situation that fate or those Twilight books had in store for us." I sighed.

"Let's hope it is so." He drawled as he stood up.

"Thanks." I said as he was about to jump down.

"No problem." He replied and left me alone with my thoughts.

Jasper was right I had to be thankful for the guidance that Apollo was able to offer my Anna. The danger was over and I had to come back down. It was just that I needed a little more time to recover from such an impact then others.

I stood up and watched as the night was swallowing everything into it's shadows while a light breezed blew straight into my face.

Everything was alright and it would remain this way.

I reminded myself yet again. But the only way I believed it was when Anna was pressed against my fame and I could feel her in every way that was possible.

I jumped down and my legs moved as fast as they could to the only place that was home for me: Into the arms of my mate.

Anna's POV:

"No, Rose, use the rouge from Hard Candy and not the one from Revlon." Alice called while she was busy with putting a few different coloured layers of eye shadow on me.

"You want me to use something that they sell in WalMart?" I heard Rose rushing into Alice's bathroom and I could imagine her looking at Alice as if she lost her mind.

"There is a reason I bought it. It is surprisingly good even though it is from WalMart." Alice replied in a nonchalant voice, hovering over me armed with a brush while she painted a little piece of art on my lids.

"I don't know." Rose huffed not pleased.

"Do you want to look perfect?" Alice didn't wait for her answer. "Then do what I tell you to."

"Hey aren't you going to say anything, Anna?"

"Right now I'm kind of blind, Alice has a brush in her hand and I'm at her mercy so no thanks I value my life." I answered in mocked fear.

I could practically hear Rose roll her eyes at me.

"Whatever!" She huffed before a gust of air told me that she disappeared out of the bathroom.

"Wait! I just need to get something. The new lips gloss that you bought is it still in your purse?" Alice asked but saw my answer before I could actually answer her and took off hunting my purse down.

It has been a few days since our cousins and Apollo and the others left and Seth moved to New Hampshire. Unfortunately for him Aya wasn't giving him the time of the day.

As to my fiancé after his talk with Jasper he seemed to be more relaxed. I knew that something was bothering him but I wanted to give him the time to figure it out. I would have talked to him by myself if Alice hadn't interfered and advised me to give Jasper a shot at it first.

As far as I heard Edward was doing great during the entire odyssey with Lear but once he had time to think about, what happened?, he fell back into old patterns and over thought everything a little. But thankfully he didn't act on any of the crazy stuff he came up with.

After his talk with Jasper Edward began to relax and started to really process what happened. I was glad he was his old self again by the time the day of the spring dance rolled on. I wanted him to have fun at that dance.

"Done! You can open your eyes now." Alice announced.

I opened my eyes and looked at my reflection in the mirror that hung above the sink. Alice had outdone herself again. The light and sparkly make-up matched perfectly with my shimmery grey dress that had hundreds of Swarovski crystal's embedded into the fabrics of the long dress. The corset of the dress hugged my breasts lovingly and arranged them nicely.

Yep, Edward would have a deliciously hard time seeing his best friends like this.

"Is everything ready right?" I asked and I didn't mean my outfit with that.

"Yes, of course." Alice winked at me.

I was nervous was heck about the surprise I had for Edward. I still couldn't believe I was going through with it. Man if that wasn't proof that I loved him then I didn't know what was.

I was about to do something that I hated, that made me feel embarrassed to the very core, what I dreaded more then a camping trip with a lot of mosquitoes and other disgusting insects around. Something that he had begged me to do for quite a while but I always refused.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to calm myself before I stepped out of Alice's and Jasper's rooms.

My heart was pounding wildly in my chest as I neared the stairs to go to the living room where Edward was waiting for me. Before we would go to the spring dance he wanted to take me out on a date.

Once I reached the top of the stairs I saw Edward waiting downstairs at the bottom for me. I heard him take a sharp breath as he saw me. It always made me smile that I had such an effect on him.

He himself looked delicious as well. I don't know what it was with him and formal wear but he looked even sexier in a suit then usual. Now that I thought about it he dressed more elegant and formal ever since we became an item then in the first three months after I arrived in Forks.

But since I haven't ever heard any complains...…

"You look stunning my love." Edward said as I placed my hand in his as he assisted me in taking the last step down the stairs.

"I second that." I smiled at him.

"You two look lovely." Esme gushed as she held out her camera again.

The both of us were in for the obligation photos. Esme loved to play the mom who send her kids of to prom or another school dance and no one of us spoiled her fun.

"Anna, are you alright?" Edward asked me as he squeezed my hand while we were driving into town to a restaurant.

"Yes, why are you asking?" I turned my head away from the window and looked at him.

"You just seem a little anxious to me." He noted.

Anxious didn't quite grasp it. I wanted to run away faster then even he could and hide at least as good as Bin Laden but I kept my bum in the seat.

"Don't know what you mean." I played dumb.

He raised an eyebrow at me, not believing me for a second.

"Anna," he tried to coax it out of me.

"Edward," I grinned at him.

Edward sighed as a disapproving scrawl appeared on his face.

I giggled a little at his expression.

"Sometimes you are just strange." He mumbled.

"Is that bad?"

"No," he said, brought our intertwined fingers to his mouth and kissed the back of my hand.

"Good," I smiled.

When we arrived at the restaurant Edward helped me out of the car and wrapped his arm around me before he led me inside the exclusive looking place. The restaurant was new and owned by some famous TV cook who's mane I couldn't recall.

As we entered the establishment I took in the beautiful décor. The place was very romantically decorated, the lights were mostly dimmed, everything looked expensive and luxurious and the soft sounds of a big band wafted through the air.

Edward gave the maitre d'our our names and we were led to our seats that were located in the middle of the room. I saw that Edward wanted to argue. He always preferred something more private but I held him back by sitting down when the maitre d'our pulled the chair out for me.

Edward raised an eyebrow at him and me and sat down at the table.

"Alice insisted on this table apparently. I wonder what she is up to." Edward whispered to me once the maitre d'our walked away from our table, having heard whatever the maitre d'our thought.

"We'll see at some point." I shrugged even though I knew exactly why we were sitting that central.

"Hmm…" Edward looked curiously at me and I think a little suspicious light passed through his golden shadowed pools but I didn't give anything away.

The waiter came and took our orders. We both feel into an easy conversation while I ate my dinner and Edward pushed the food on his plate around.

The big band was playing soft tunes in the background and some people were swaying on the dance floor that was located directly in front of the stage.

"Do you want to dance?" Edward asked me with a crocked smile on his lips.

"In a minute. I'll be right back." I smiled at him and began to stand up from my seat. Edward arisen from his chair as well ever the gentleman.

I quickly hurried into the bathroom and stole a glance at my watch. I still had three minutes before it would begin. Alice and I had everything organised perfectly. No one here knew how I looked like. All they knew was that I would enter the stage at the appointed time.

This way Edward, even with his ability, had no means of knowing what I had in store for him.

I took a deep breath before I looked into the mirror in front of me checking my make-up and my hair just to have something to do to pass the remained time.

My stomach was in knots and I could feel a lump build in my throat, not good. I tried to relax as good as I could but my heart was still beating in my chest like crazy and I was doubting my own sanity for doing this but then again what could I buy Edward what he didn't already have and that would be special besides the fact that I was horrible at buying gifts.

I had that from my mom she couldn't have bought a "good" gift to safe her own life. She also always sucked at it and that was why she always put bills into an envelope as a gift.

Money was no question for Edward Cullen which left me with only one option left. The only thing that would surprise him and he would like. He was trying often enough to get me to sing for him but I never did.

It felt strange for me to sing. When I was still human I couldn't hold a tone to safe my life. And even now with my venom busted voice that sounded heavenly even to me I was unsure but I would do it for Edward.

I stepped out of the bathroom and walked to the end of the hallway back to the main room. I could hear the announcer informing the guests that they had a little surprise for one guest.

I stole a glance at our table and saw Edward look at the bar that was located opposite the dining area. I followed his line of sight and saw our family sitting there.

Of course I should have know that they wouldn't pass up the opportunity to watch me making a fool out of myself and probably die out of embarrassment up there on the stage.

Nonetheless I took another deep breath and walked with determinate steps towards the stage. The announcer smiled at me as I climbed up the four stairs to the stage.

Nervous as hell I reached the microphone and felt like I might hurl any second but I forced myself to stay calm. Suddenly a wave of calm snuggled around me and I shot a grateful smile in Jasper's direction.

My eyes wandered from Jasper to Edward. He sat at our table and looked completely stunned. The look of surprise on his face was priceless.

"Good evening ladies and gentleman I hope you don't mind the little interruption." I said and took my last deep breath.

As the song I had chosen "Your song" from Elton John but the version that Ewan Mcgregor sang in Moulin Rouge. I liked it better because it was a little more up tempo then the original and the lyrics fit my situation better as well even though I changed them just a tiny bit.

Here goes nothing!

I thought before my mouth opened and the words stumbled out....

My gift is my song

And this one's for you

And you can tell everybody

That this is your song

It maybe quite simple

But now that it's done

Hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind

That I put down in words

How wonderful life is since you're in my world

My nervousness backed off a little and I concentrated only on Edward as I sang while he was memorising me. His eyes were glued to my form as I slightly swayed on the stage.

Edward had propped his elbow on the table and was leaning his head against his hand a little while he had a huge smile on his face and was shaking his head a little as his eyes sparkled with a myriad of emotions.

Sat on the roof

And I kicked off the moss

Well some of the verses well

They got me quite cross

But the sun's been kind

While I changed this song

Edward's grin got wider and I had to smile at the little change I made as well. He was looking at me in utter awe and I could feel the heat build in my cheeks while my heart was beating wildly in my chest. The nervousness that backed down a little was joined by excitement.

It's only for you that

Keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting

But these things I do

You see I've forgotten

If they're green or they're blue

Anyway the thing is well I really mean

Your have the kindest heart I've ever seen

After singing this part I took the microphone out of the mike stand and slowly took one step after the other walking down the stairs and towards Edward who rose from his seat while I sang the next verses.

And you can tell everybody

This is your song

It may be quite simple

But now that it's done

I hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind that I put down in words

How wonderful life is now you're in the world

I hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind that I put down in words

How wonderful life is now you're in the world

As the last note passed my lips Edward grabbed my face in both of his hands and pulled my mouth to his for an edger, soulful and passionate kiss while the people around us were applauding.

But all I could focus on were Edward's lips on mine and the rapid and loud hammering of my heart against my rip cage. Once we broke the kiss Edward looked deeply into my eyes and I could feel the fire hot flush burn my face right up to the tips of my ears.

I buried my face in Edward shoulder while he kissed the top of my head.

"That….that was amazing Anna." He whispered breathlessly into my ear.

The waiter came and I handed him the mike before Edward and I took our places again.

"I still can't believe you did this for me. Your voice…" Edward held my hand in his and was stroking my skin tenderly while his eyes shone with excitement, happiness, love, joy and adoration.

"I'm glad you liked it."

"Liked it? Anna I loved to hear your voice..... You are absolutely generous my Anna." He said and kissed the back of my hand.

"I'm speechless," he whispered while he gazed at me with such deep and powerful emotions that my breath hitched.

We spend a few more moments in the restaurant before we had to go to school and attend the spring dance. When I looked over to the bar I couldn't see anyone of our family anymore.

"They are already on their way to the dance." My Vampire informed me.

"Shall we then as well?"

Edward nodded and kissed the back of my hand again. He led me outside once he took care of the bill. Arriving outside we noticed that it had rained while we were inside.

"Wait here. I'll get the car or Alice will kill us if you get your dress dirty." He chuckled and kissed my cheek before he went of to the parking lot.

The hem of my dress reached the ground and there would have been no way I wouldn't have gotten the dress dirty somehow.

As I waited for Edward to get the car a gust of cold air suddenly picked up and I angled my body so that the cold breeze wouldn't blow in my face anymore. With my arms tightly around my body I was rubbing my arms as I looked up at the entrance of the restaurant.

I smiled to myself and I was actually a little proud at myself that I didn't faint dead as I entered the stage because I certainly felt liked dropping dead once I stood up there.

While I giggled lightly a woman ambled into the doorway. She wore a simple but beautiful black dress that went down to the ground. My eyes wandered up her frame and when they reached her face my breath caught in my throat and my blood ran cold. I couldn't believe what I was seeing or better said who I was standing right in front of me just mere steps away.

My world was crumbling under my feet and I was powerless to stop it. All muscles in my body tenses and locked while ice cold sweat was funning down my spine as I was about to have a heart failure.

I should have run or turn but my mind was not able to compose a coherent thought. It was like watching an accident happen strangely fascinating but highly dangerous.

I was not able to keep up with the situation playing out in front of me.

Suddenly two familiar brown eyes were looking deeply into my own and my frame was frozen in shock.

Seemed like I would faint tonight!
