Bella and I were getting ready for Prom. Bella had refused to wear heels so she was wearing black converse with her blue dress. I on the other hand was wearing a short gold dress with gold and black shoes, gold flower earrings, a gold and black bracelet, and a flower head band, I let my hair be natuarl, I also had gold eye shadow on. Bella walked downstairs first, that way Edward wouldn't have to be with Dad alone much longer. Once we had got back, Dad really didn't like the thought of Bella being with Edward because he was the reason why she left. But he was okay with him taking Bella to Prom and as far as he was concerned Edward was on probation in his eyes.

"Alice lent me the dress. Is it too..." Bella said

"You're perfect...I'll take good care of her, Chief." Edward said

"Heard that before." Dad said

I came down the stairs in time to hear that.

"Dad we talked about this." I said

Dad nodded his head. I walked over and kissed Jasper on his check.

"See you later." Jasper said

Jasper and I walked towards his car, Edward headed towards his and Bella was stopped by dad.

"I put new pepper spray in your bag." Dad said

I smiled a little bit.

"Dad. Why didn't you give Ana any?" Bella said

"Because Ana is a black belt. And you look beautiful." Dad said

Bella then headed to Edwards car and we off to Prom. We pulled up to where Prom was being held. We all got out. We got into a line Jasper, Me, Bella, Edward.

"I can't believe you're making me do this." Bella said

We walk around a corner. The theme for Prom was Monte Carlo, so there were gaming tables and roulette wheels, guys in suits and girls in gowns gambling for prizes, and people danceing.

"You really are trying to kill me," Bella said

"Prom is a very important right of passage I don't want you to miss a thing." Edward said

I could tell that Bella wanted to be mad at Edward, but she knew it was coming from a good place. We all walk towards the dance floor. We see a gap had formed on the dance floor, in the middle two couples were dancing. It was Alice and Mason, Rosalie and Emmett, looking absolutely stunning. Rosalie looks towards us she glare at Bella and smiles at me. Eric's at the turntables making the room bonce with sound. Angela is standing next to him looking through a stack of vinyl. Jasper grabs my hand and we head to the dance floor. As we dance I linstin in on Edward and Bella who have also started to dance.

"See? You're dancing." Edward said

"At prom." Bella said

"Edward...why did you save me? If you'd let the venom spread, I could've been like you by now." Bella said

"You don't know what you're saying. You don't want this." Edward said

"I want you. Always." Bella said

"I won't end your life for you." Edward said

They continue dancing, even thought this is turning into a argument.

"I'm dying anyways. Every minute, I get closer, older." Bella said

"That's how it's supposed to happen." Edward said

"Not the way Alice saw it. I heard her. She saw me like you." Bella said

"Her visions change, Bella." Edward said

"Based on what someone decides. And I've decided. And do you really think my sister would let me die." Bella said

"Is that what you dream about? Becoming a monster?" Edward asked

"I dream about being with you forever." Bella said

"You really want this?" Edward asked

"Yes." Bella said

He lowers his lips to her neck. One bite is all it would take.

"You're ready right now?" Edward asked

"Yes." Bella said

His lips hover over her skin, a long beat then he presses his lips to her throat. Not a bite. A kiss. He looks at her.

"You're going to have a long and happy life with me. Isn't that enough?" Edward asked

"For now." Bella said

As we danced I got a feeling like someone was watching us. I looked around.

"Darlin' what is it?" Jasper asked

"I feel like someone is watching us." I said

"No one is gonna hurt you." Jasper said

"It is not me I'm worried about." I said

"Why are you worried?" Jasper asked

"We killed James, but Victoria is still out there. She was James mate. I'm worried about what she is planning." I said

"We will worry about that on another day for now let's just be humanish for a while." Jasper said

I nodded my head and we danced. But still had that feeling. Like this was just the beginning.
