I pulled her onto the bed and wrapped the blanket around her, there was no way I wanted to freeze her to death. Then I wrapped my arms around her. Already, she was falling asleep. She was thinking about tomorrow and the wedding that was in two days. I smiled at her pictures, she didn't at all think of the wedding dress though.
I could tell when she was out. Her mind went dark, then it was filled with different pictures and my face was the background. We zoomed into a picture, one that hadn't happened. One that, I never wanted to have, of course the experience would be wonderful, but it was at the back of my mind.
We were on an island, it resembled Isle Esme. But, I didn't know for sure. I was swimming in the warm water. Hotter on my skin, than even Liz. But not as hot as Jacob. I winced. I would push that name right out of my head.
The Edward in her dream, I will call him E, was swimming in the ocean, and she was at his side. They were both naked, so I tried to focus on E. Soon after they started kissing. They kissed for a long part of the dream. Then E stood up with Liz holding her arms around his neck. She wrapped her legs around his waist, keeping their lips locked together. He carried her towards the center of the island. Where a huge bed waited. Then the dream changed time settings and she awoke. He hadn't hurt her at all, I smiled again. If only it were that simple, if only I was human.
I looked to the windows, it was light, around 8 o'clock. I frowned. I let my feelings of grief show on my face, even though I was excited about questioning her.
She slowly opened her eyes. She was ecstatic about today also.
"What?"she asked me.
"You have a vivid imagination."
"Sorry, but I can't help it. I love you. I kinda want a real honeymoon, if you couldn't tell."
"I don't know."
"I mean, I know you're a vampire and all, but still, why not?"
"Well, I could kill you, not to mention, I don't know how far I could go before I went crazy. I don't want to hurt you."
"But I don't want to die a virgin."
"Why not,"I asked.
"I want to experience sex, I could die any day now, whether it's a natural death or you turn me into a vampire, either way, I'll be dead. I just want to sleep with you, even if it is just once. I could handle it."
"Let me consider it. And I'll get back to you during the reception,"I couldn't give her a definite answer, since I died a virgin myself. I didn't want to let her down, but I didn't want to kill her either.
"Okay,"she smiled.
We kissed.
"I am going to leave you get dressed. As soon as your done, it's question time."
"Alright,"she agreed.
Then I left the room. Should I agree to it? I wanted to just as much as I knew I shouldn't. It was a really tough situation. I should definitely say no, that's what I told Bella. Why is Liz so special, why should I tell her yes? Because she was the reason I was alive. I've waited for her all of my existance.
She came out of the door, then I began the questions. I questioned her about everything I could think of.
But too soon I ran out of questions. She had just finished dinner when my mind went blank. So it was time to leave her, well, she'd be leaving first. When she ran up the stairs, I sat on the couch to wait.
A few minutes later Alice and Rosalie came down. Then Esme followed them. They were all dressed stunningly. Then Liz came down. She was beautiful. The most beautiful women in the universe was coming down those stairs. She smiled at me. Then ran down the rest of the stairs and right into my arms. I kissed her as hard as I could, without hurting her of course. Then she left with the girls and Jasper led me and Emmett and Carlisle out to do some hunting.

God and His priests and His kings
All were waiting
All will wait
As they go over
Mmm, held between heaven and hell
As they're dancing
As they dance over and over
Over
Cold
Cold
Crimson and bare as I stand
Yours completely
Yours as we go over
Sing for the lion and lamb
Their hearts are hunting
Still hearts hold ever and ever
Ever
Cold
Cold
God and His priests and His kings
Turn their faces
Even they feel the cold
Ooooooh, ooooooh
What you are given
Can't be forgotten
And never forsaken
What you are given
Can't be forgotten
And never forsaken
What you are given
Can't be forgotten
Cold

Slow, we paddle through the lake
Straight to the very center of the darkest water
Where we can embrace the shadows on the surface
The eyes that look up lifeless from our twins below
And though your arms and legs are under
Love will be the echo in your ears when all is lost and plundered
My love will be there still
True, it's chilling to behold
Up close we stumble backwards laughing in our boat
Till the image sinks away to someplace far but certain
A land of mere suspension where someday we must go
And though your arms and legs are under
Love will be the echo in your ears when all is lost and plundered
My love will be there still
Though your arms and legs are under
Love will be the echo in your ears when all is lost and plundered
My love will be there still
Straight to the very center of the darkest water
Where we can embrace the shadows on the surface
The eyes that look up lifeless from our twins below
And though your arms and legs are under
Love will be the echo in your ears when all is lost and plundered
My love will be there still
True, it's chilling to behold
Up close we stumble backwards laughing in our boat
Till the image sinks away to someplace far but certain
A land of mere suspension where someday we must go
And though your arms and legs are under
Love will be the echo in your ears when all is lost and plundered
My love will be there still
Though your arms and legs are under
Love will be the echo in your ears when all is lost and plundered
My love will be there still
If we never found this love
If we never took that road
If we hadn't had the heart
We wouldn't have this home
Love, love will take you
Love, love will take you there
Love, love will take you
Love, love will take you there
In this world the heart beats slow
In my arms let's share the cold
In my eyes you’re all I've known
Darling let's go home
Love, love will take you
Love, love will take you there
Love, love will take you
Love, love will take you there
Love, love will take you

Last born of the clan
First one to be free
Lived inside a house
Beneath the hanging tree
Loved them deadly nights
That chilled him to the bone
Words were cried at night
In unforgiving tones
Blood of his men was gone beneath snow
He picked up his knife and his bow
Killer of Jonathan Low
Violence from without
And anger from within
Crawling through the fields
Informing next of kin
They all turned their backs
But they all knew his name
And if he could return
They'd probably do the same
Blood of his friends was gone beneath snow
For all that I know, he died

The moon is always full for us
The road is always clear
That's not what you want to hear
One is born so one can die
You must wait a real long time
That's more than you can bear
And the days will come and go
And the band will march alone
Till the day you cast a shadow
And it's nothing like your own
Rolling in on a burning tire
You're gonna set my house on fire
Just to show me that you were there
Flowers raised up like a snake
You will raise to leave me bait
And always, always take
And the days will come and go
And the band will march alone
Till the day you cast a shadow
And it's nothing like your own
The moon is always full for us
The road is always clear
That’s not what you want to hear
That’s not what you want to hear
The road is always clear
That's not what you want to hear
One is born so one can die
You must wait a real long time
That's more than you can bear

Flowers raised up like a snake
You will raise to leave me bait
And always, always take
And the days will come and go
And the band will march alone
Till the day you cast a shadow
And it's nothing like your own
The moon is always full for us
The road is always clear
That’s not what you want to hear
That’s not what you want to hear
I think I know what’s on your mind
A couple words, a great divide
Waiting in the wings, a small respite
Crowding up the foreground from behind
Even though you’re the only one I see
It’s the last catastrophe
Place your bets on chance and apathy
Take anything you want, it’s fine
Keep up the slow life for the night
Don’t take it back, I’ll just deny
This constant noise all the time
Even though you’re the only one I see
It’s the last catastrophe
Place your bets on chance and apathy
From the wind in front of me
Even though you’re the only one I see
It’s the last catastrophe
Place your bets on chance and apathy
From the wind in front of me
Even though you’re the only one I see
A couple words, a great divide

Even though you’re the only one I see
It’s the last catastrophe
Place your bets on chance and apathy
From the wind in front of me
Even though you’re the only one I see
When these pillars get put down
It will be you who wears the crown
And I’ll owe everything to you
Oooohh
Oooohh
How much pain has cracked your soul
And how much love would make you whole
You’re my guiding lightning strike
I can’t find the words to say
They’re overdue
I’ve traveled half the world to say
I belong to you
Oooohh
Oooohh
And she attacks me like a Leo
When my heart is split like Rio
And I assure you my debts are real
I can’t find the words to say
When I’m confused
I traveled half the world to say
You are my muse
Oooohh
Oooohh
Oooohh
I can’t find the words to say
They’re overdue
I’ve traveled half the world to say
I belong to you
Oooohh

So pretty, so smart
Such a waste of her young heart
What a pity, what a sham
What’s the matter with you man
Don’t you see it’s wrong, can’t you get it right
Out of mind and out of sight
Call on all your girls, don’t forget the boys
Put a lid on all that noise
I’m a satellite heart
Lost in the dark
I’m spun out so far
You stop, I start
But I’ll be true to you
I hear you’re living out of state
Running in a whole new scene
You know I haven’t slept in weeks
You’re the only thing I see
I’m a satellite heart
Lost in the dark
I’m spun out so far
You stop, I start
But I’ll be true to you
I’m a satellite heart
Lost in the dark
I’m spun out so far
You stop, I start
But I’ll be true to you
No matter what you do
Yeah I’ll be true to you
Such a waste of her young heart
What a pity, what a sham
What’s the matter with you man
Don’t you see it’s wrong, can’t you get it right
Out of mind and out of sight
Call on all your girls, don’t forget the boys
Put a lid on all that noise
I’m a satellite heart
Lost in the dark
I’m spun out so far
You stop, I start

I’m a satellite heart
Lost in the dark
I’m spun out so far
You stop, I start
But I’ll be true to you
No matter what you do
Yeah I’ll be true to you
I was a quick wet boy
Diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes
Wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair
I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map
And called for you everywhere
Have I found you
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Or lost you
American mouth
Big pill looming
Now I’m a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the wide fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
Blood of Christ mountain streams
Have I found you
Flightless bird, grounding, bleeding
Or lost you
American mouth
Big pill stuck going down
Diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes
Wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair
I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map
And called for you everywhere
Have I found you
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Or lost you
American mouth
Big pill looming
Now I’m a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the wide fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
Blood of Christ mountain streams
Have I found you
Flightless bird, grounding, bleeding
Or lost you
American mouth
Big pill stuck going down
