The kiss was exhilarating. My thoughts exploded with fireworks. I felt so… free.

Jacob had locked my life away, filtered out any sense of freedom or pleasure. I constantly had to be cautious and careful. I had been cut off from the whole world. I had a feeling Charlie knew, but he didn't dare mention it. I think he also found Jacob intimidating, which is the impression he always makes.

But this kiss, it had secured the final truth. I was finally alive. Reluctantly, I broke away.

"We…We should go downstairs." I stammered.

"Yes… I suppose your right." He murmured. An alluring smile crept on his face as his lips pushed against mine. The kiss was more forceful this time; it seemed to have more meaning. I pressed myself against him, feeling his magnificent body underneath the tan sweater he was wearing. I broke away, a sudden panic rippling down my spine.

"Edward?" I whispered, gasping for breath.

"What?"

"Is this real?" I sighed. It seemed to mind blowing to be true.

"Bella, oh Bella." He moaned. "It couldn't be any more real. I cannot believe how much love pulses through my veins. I love you." That was the first time he told me he loved me. Joy overcame the many emotions inside me. I laughed with pure joy.

"Say it again, say it over and over!" I cried.

"I love you. I love you. I LOVE YOU ISABELLA SWAN" He kissed me every time he said it.

"I love you too Edward." How could something that seems so impossible, be so perfect? I'd known this radiant person for just two days, and yet I'd somehow fallen deeply in love with him.

It was the first time I'd felt loved in years.

"Edward, Bella, you'd better get your ass's down here now." Called Alice. Why oh why did that little pixie have to always get in the way of such wondrous, life-changing moments. Bella sighed reluctantly, and pulled her self away from me. The kiss had gone so well, the scent problem hadn't affected me at all. That looked like a problem that I could easily hurdle. But there were still a lot more to get past, i.e. Jacob Black. Anger slapped me hard just thinking about him and what he did to my precious Bella. I took Bella's hand and lead her downstairs to the living room, I let go before we went in, it would be nice not to be bombarded with questions along side everything else that is on my plate.

I didn't have to have Jasper's talent to felt the amount of tension in the room. Alice was perched on the end of the three piece leather sofa, bouncing her knee. Her mind was on another planet. Jasper was next to her, his arm snaking round her waist. Carlisle was standing in the corner of the room murmuring to Emmett something about attack angles, I honestly did not want to listen to that conversation. Rosalie was standing next to the sofa, arms folded, back vertical. Her eyes looked vicious. Bella and I stood freeze framed in the doorway, not daring to move.

The silence lasted for far too long. I didn't even want to read their thoughts. I didn't need to.

Finally Jasper found his voice and spoke the basic question every wanted to ask.

"So…What do we do?"

"We fight." Cried Emmett.

"We leave?" Murmured Esme.

"We stay!" Interjected Alice. This silenced everyone. Alice was always right.

"The wolves will stop at nothing, to make Jacob happy. He is after all, the next alpha. In fact…" My voice cracked in realisation, "He is to become Alpha next week. I heard it in Sam's thoughts. Sam may not attack, but Jacob would. And the wolves will have to follow him."

"Alice can you not foresee anything?" Carlisle asked.

"No, I can't see wolves' futures." She muttered. Rosalie's thought suddenly leaked into my mind.

Why don't we ditch the girl? No one needs her. She's just a selfish bitch getting in everyone's way.

My temper flared. I appeared in front of her, my nose centimetres from hers. It was like my temper blindfolds me, I never know what I'm doing, I completely lose control of all of my senses. I just let my mind to do the work. And that never ends well.

"Because I love her Rosalie. I need her. Her safety is unbelievably important to me. So if you can't handle that, you can just piss off." I hissed fiercely. Emmett leaped in between us.

"Hey, Edward mate, back off alright?" He cautioned.

"You try listening to her disgusting thoughts Em, then you'll understand." I turned away and walked back together. It suddenly dawned on me that I'd said it out loud. Esme and Carlisle looked overjoyed as did Alice. Jasper looked indifferent. He must have felt the love between us. But as per usual the moment was ruined. Alice leapt up, but staggered. Which was VERY unusual for an agile vampire.

"What is it Alice?" demanded Jasper worriedly. Once again I watched it with her, and panic kicked me as I did.

"They're coming. They're coming next Friday. They are going to take us one by one and…kill us." We murmured hypnotically in unison.

It was official.

We were going to lose.
