I was exited to go to Forks I loved my uncle and I would finally be out of volterra but I would miss my family so much me Jane Alec and daddy were at the airport at the moment id said bye to everyone else at home and now me and the others were getting ready to bored it was weird to see Jane and Alec in regular clothing but they had to fit in especially with me waiting my designer clothing with my jimmy Chou heals

"bye bye daddy I promise to write and call and Skype and everything!" I said hugging him tight and he did the same I could tell he'd miss me a lot and I the same then i boarded the plain with Alec and Jane with me i loved them all and i watched as we flew off

*in Seattle @ airport*

me Alec and Jane jest got here and there was a man waiting with my name on a card i smiled the first thing was to go home to uncle Charlie's house i wanted to meet him so bad i had to remember he was human and to be very careful with him. we walked over to the man and he took our bags we then fallowed him to the car and damn it was so pretty i loved the color jest as much as id loved it in valterra. we got in and since i couldn't find my way to his house i let the man drive it was a normal drizzly day here in forks and i was happy that id be allowed out side somewhere for once in my life. as daddy rarely let me out in the sun since he could not go with me but here ill be able to do that almost every day since Jane Alec could stay out most the time

when we got to Charlie's his cruiser was parked outside in the driveway and he was on the front porch i immediately got out running to him and hugging him "oh uncle how I've wanted to meet you for quite some time and now its come true!" he smiled and lead me inside with Jane and Alec on our heals "I've wanted to know you to kiddo its nice to meet you" we ended up talking for hours me charlie Alec and Jane but as it got later he became tired and as did i so i had to leave to go to my new home for this year Alec drove and i was in the passenger seat holding his hand the hole way. when we got there it was like a fairy tail, it was a brick cottage that looked like it had grown from the earth with I've growing up the walls and bunched around the house i walked to the front and walked in the house it was so big, it had 5 bed rooms, a music, and art room. kitchen 3 bathrooms a dinning room, a larger living room and library. i was in love the moment i walked in and it was already set up all i had to do was put my clothes in the already mostly full closet. Jane and Alec went to there rooms on ether side of mine i looked around my room loving it more and more it had a big purple bed with a light purple canopy draping from the ceiling in the center and there was a double door on the far wall besides a white desk that had a new windows computer on it for me i went over to the doors throwing them open to see a small garden with a pond that looked like a mini beach jest for me in my own back yard well almost there were paths leading to Jane and Alec's rooms as well so i quickly made my way back inside to set up and head to bed i could only imagine that jane was to blame for a closet as big as the room its self i set up in my closet and put my small knick knakes around the room and before i could even get into pj's i fell asleep on the large bed.

bellas POV

I've been here for a month now and I've started school as a junior there's another vampire family but Jane and Alec told me to stay away i haven't any idea why. dad told me to listen to Jane and Alec so i will... for now

its third period, right before lunch and were getting a new student in biology. i'm the only one with out a partner so ill probably be stuck with the human, even though i hate being associated with them. i do like the freedoms that being out of volterra brings me. also knowing that no one knows im like a princess this both makes it better but annoying at the same time people here will not listen to me or fallow my direction like they did there and i am not so feared to them instead they all stair at me with ether lust or envy. i looked at the door and watched in horror as a bronze haired boy walked in giving the teacher his slip when he passed the fan his sent wafted toward me and i instantly wanted his blood and i looked around holding my breath he looked at me when the teacher told him where to sit and he looked at my brown eyes and parlor pale skin he looked confused but came to sit by me i had to cover my mouth with my sleeve and act like i was jest resting my head on my hand till the bell rang and when it had i was out the door in a second leaving him and his sent behind.

i used a gift i had acquired when dad sent me to the dungeon to get the new recruits powers jest in case of any trouble with them and i sent a message to my family here giving them a taste of the smell as well to show them why we need out and i and instantly surrounded in the car and on out way home.

Edwards POV:

today was so odd my mother and father Mary and Charles mason and i, Edward mason there only son had jest moved into a house next to the chef of police a week ago here in forks and now the day i finally go back to school in my biology class there's this odd girl that looks jest slightly off-set from the rest but she is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen and that includes my friends that had moved a year ago, the Cullen's id only known them a year or so but they had loved going camping, working with cars and listening to a lot of old music i didn't think anyone even knew about till id met them so instantly id fallen in with them even thou everyone else didn't think it was fair because they had never let someone into there group but i know why. id over heard a conversation between Rosalie and Carlisle they were talking quietly in his office but they said that being what they were... vampires and being there and my friend was putting them and me at a big risk so the next week they moved and i haven't seen them since but i convinced my parents to move as well because there word had scared me someone would come to hurt me

" were vampires and even being around Edward puts him at risk of the volturies coming and demanding his and our lives we cant risk it Rosalie"

there words still fresh in my mind i try to forget but i never have.

Bella's POV:

we raced home and i instantly got a few bags of blood and downed them while they talked to me in frantic voices

" are you OK?"

"what happened?"

" who was that?"

"why didn't you jest use your powers and cut off his sent?"

they all repeated the same questions. questions i didn't know the answer to so i jest shook my head going up to my room once i'm sure they are not listening to me i jump out my window and race to my uncle Charlie's so i can go and sit i'm the field next to it. when i'm there i find something i wasn't expecting and i hold my breath HE had been here his sent is all over next door and at grandpas GREAT he much have bought that old house next door that means ill have to put up with that. i notice Charlie's car and so i walk up to his door and knock it takes him a but when he opens it and looks surprised

" skipping isn't a good thing you no lady" he says pulling me inside

" i didn't skip grandpa i signed out i wasn't feeling well so i left... there's this new kid.. "

" oh you mean Edward yeah great kid the masons moved in next door he's one nifty kid don't u think?"

i look at him wide eyed he knew that this kid was gana be here and he didn't warn us

"how did you know about a new specimen here in forks and not tell me and another thing how did i not realize it???"

"well bells you have been a bit off lately you must be missing yr papa and all those people you care so much about in Italy, i know why don't you Skype your father and see if the night crawler is still up hmm?" he smiles walking with me over to his new laptop he had gotten right before we had come here so that i could get in touch with father without all the snoops listening in

" that's a good idea grandpa i think i will... and jest because he stays up late and gets up early doesn't mean he's a night owl," i laugh, " but thanks for the image of my father as a bug hahahaha"

ok so imma stop it there mainly b/c i needa work on what exactly the conversation will be like, what info will come to light, and exactly how Aro will react to what she says i'm sorry i'm so slow and i also apologize for the error i'm really bad with grammar and spelling I'VE GOTTEN BETTER THOUGH so no fear ill soon be understandable.

Bella’s POV

Its been a few days since I last went to school, alec and Jane are going and bringing me stuff home every day and they are giving me updates on that new kid Edward. I cant get his bright green eyes out of my head, his sent his face I love it I want to have is blood I want to taste it WAIT am I really thinking about that??? I cant I have never wanted human blood not since I was born anyway.

“bells its time its been a week since you went to school you’ve got to go” Jane said standing in my door

“Jane I don’t.. I cant go I cant go and see him I want… I want his BLOOD what’s wrong with me?? I’ve never cared for it I don’t like feeding from a poor human”

“ that just means you need to feed more often sis “ she walked over to sit on my bed

“ok well lets go to the mountains I want to see if there are any lions here”

She nodded and we went down stairs, alec was already waiting for us and I smiled at him going up to him and he took my hand kissing my forehead thou somehow it felt wrong

*mental images*

Were laying in a field with purple flowers every where I’m beside him my eyes almost trained on his

“Bella”

I smile as he leans over me “my love” he whispers and starts leaning down

“Bella love, snap out of it”

I smile at him “oh Edward”

*end image*

“BELLA!!!!

”

I shake my head blinking a few times looking over at Jane and alec

“what??” they looked worried

“what?? what happened?? why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost?”

They just kept starring at me “ your face it looked like…. Like well never mind. What happened did you see something?” alec asked e looking worried

I blushed then “well erm yes I well it was weird I saw… idk what saw it wasn’t a memory but…” they looked at each other

“what there’s something idk isn’t there” I was looking between them “Isabella have you been near those other vampires?” it was Jane who asked this time

I looked between them “ well at least one is in every class I have I talked to the little pixie girl one day before you told me not to and the big dark haired guy too… what’s his name? Emmett I think…”

“ I think you copied her power… the power to see the future Bell this is amazing your fathers wanted that power for so long now!!”

I looked at Jane and was surprised I what? I copied hers I didn’t mean to I didn’t even know I did it she must have used it while I was around

“ alec… um lets go hunt I’m thirsty I need blood” I grabbed his hand and started out

“ok but if I’m hunting then I need to go a few towns away and ill need you to erase the girls memory” he said and I sighed I hated dong it I didn’t like that they all drank and usually killed there pray alec only left them alive because I said if he didn’t stop killing at random including feeding then id dump his ass so fast daddy would have him killed before he knew what was going on we started running fast to the mountains outside of the next town over on there eastern border, away from our home, I quickly took down three elk then I smelt the most succulent blood I’ve ever smelt and instantly took off after it alec on my heels telling me to stop but I didn’t I kept running faster and faster. When I was close I could hear not one but three heart beats one was to the right about ten feet into the forest by a little stream the other two seemed to be packing from camping most likely I stopped behind the figure perched in the trees looking down. It was a boy, he was about my age a dark bronze looking hair color he was washing some close out in the stream only in some shorts I smelt deeply and that’s when alec ran into the clearing startling the boy

“ahh”

“Bella don’t its…!”

I jumped at the boy then knocking him to the ground his green eyes looking up at me surprised but not at all afraid

“Bella Bella its me its Edward we met last week in school don’t bite me please” he was holding onto my elbows and I looked down surprised did he just ask me not to bite him? Does he know? That was enough to snap me out of it and I jumped back putting my back against the tree alec was across the field starring in shock

“ Edward.. Oh my god I was.. Oh my god I’m I’m so sorry wait did you ask me to NOT bite you???”

“well erm y-yes I did you see I had these friends where I lived and well… over heard them talking about them being well” I pined him down again “who what was there names tell me!! Tell me who they are I must put a stop to them!!” he stared at me frightened now

“ no! no please don’t! the Cullen’s did nothing I snuck in I wasn’t suppose to be there!! I swear ill never tell a soul!!”

“The Cullen.. Alec didn’t you say that other clan here was the Cullen’s… daddy wanted them didn’t he??”

“yes miss they are… he does want Alice, jasper and Emmett” alec replied now in guard mode I kissed Edward hard and smiled” thank you so much young one you’ve supplied my father the am he needs thanks to you the Cullen’s will either die or become volturi and as for you… you know way to much you, you must die.. I guess my premonition was wrong.” he was fighting me hard as I pulling him to his feet smiling

“ alec darling get this human to the cells in our basement ill call father right away and tell him we’ve doe him proud”

you’ve done him proud mistress you letting go of control for a moment lead us too him”

“oh thank you my dear”

“WAIT what about my parents!” he said frightened

“oh that’s right its ok ill make them forget they even had a son no harm o foul they wont even hurt over you… alec send your sister to there house by my grandfathers to clean his stuff out I want it gone in three hours time” I smiled loving the control I had at the moment

“Yes ma’lady” he bowed to me and took Edward

We ran back home after calling Jane to tell her what to do putting him in the cell alec walked away and I stood there

*Edwards POV*

She was outside the cell and I was worried not for me but for the Cullen’s, my parents and the school. I looked out at her she looked so controlling so dominate so self reliant so sure of who she was but once that alec boy left she looked sympathetic and sorry

“I’m so so so sorry Edward I’m so so sorry I had to do that did you learn of the volturi? Did they say something about us?” I looked up at her shoed as she said that she was sorry?

“only that they wanted to protect me against you so they left…” she laughed “ well they didn’t do a too good job at leaving you behind,” she sighed,” I had to do this I didn’t have a choice he cant see me as week if something happens to one or all our leaders then I’m in charge and I cant let them think I cant do my job there’s rules we vamps… and half vamps like myself have to abide by.. One is to keep the secret above all else or you and the human will die.. Unless the human is changed into one of us that is I don’t like hurting humans I don’t even drink there blood…. I lost control and I’m sorry for tat ill try to get you and the Cullen’s out of this I promise… ill try Edward..” She sat down she looked so warn and helpless I reached out and held her hand

“the Cullen’s did nothing I wasn’t suppose to be there and all I heard was there vamps and they were leaving to protect me noting else I swear” she smiled at me lightly

“what was your premonition?” I asked suddenly very curios and she blushed deeply looking away from me oh how cute she is she’s so amazing I love that girl… wait did I gust think that??? Oh god I haven’t even known her that long

“ well… it was me and you… in this field and we were just laying there together then…” she stopped

“then what bells I wana know” did I just call her bells?

* bella’s POV*

He just called me bells omg omg omg I’m soooo happy maybe I ca still save him… god m so happy he’s so perfect I want to be his I want him not alec wait what am I thinking I cant he’s human… unless…

*Vision*

I’m laying in the field again and looking into his… RED eyes as he sparkles in the sun???

*end vision*

“Edward… I can save you if you.. You become like us like the Cullen’s… I can save you all”

* Edwards POV*

“Edward… I can save you if you.. You become like us like the Cullen’s… I can save you all” she says YES YES A MILLION TIMES YES I LOVE YOU I WANT YOU TAKE ME BELLA!!! Wait… c’mon Edward keep it together you cant your parents… that don’t remember you… oh god I’m alone now its either die or become a vampire I froze watching her. Could I do that? Could I really be hers?

“what if I do… then what where do I go what do I do? I ask honestly worried

“you can be my ma…“ she pauses “you can join the guard with me or… or become a Cullen if they’ll have you” she was about to say.. Was she really going to say mate??? Oh Bella please take me

“ were you going to say become your mate??” she blushes again looking away nodding

“ can you open the door bells please I not run ik its useless…” she looks unsure but stands and unlocks it and I step out smiling at her slowly walking up to her

*Bella’s POV*

He walks up to me as I watch his eyes oh those gorgeous green eyes I’ve been blushing this whole time and now that he’s out idk what he’d going to do.

He walks up to me slowly taking deep breaths and stands right in front of me, he’s half a head taller then me so I’ve got to look up he’s smiling wide omg I love his smile.

“I want t try something ok bells”

“ok” I say weekly as he slowly slides his hand around my neck and the other around my waist pulling me to his body, licks his lips lightly then starts to slowly lean down watching my every move.

I slide one of my hands into the crook of his elbow and the other to his chest and start leaning into him. The moment our lips meet it feels like a million fire works going off and like I’ve found something I’ve needed for so long, my other half, the one who owns my heart my mate. I pull closer kissing him more passionately, deeper then I’ve ever kissed alec and with more love then I thought I could hold for anyone

“Bella!!! Bella I’m done with the house and school” Jane yells and I jump away pushing him back in the cell closing the door

Bella's POV

"Bella Bella I'm done with the house and school" Jane yells and I jump away pushing him back into the cell

closing the door. he falls on his butt and I look apologetically at him as she walks down.

“oh hi Edward I’m sorry bout this but we cant have a human knowing about us” she says now in her uniform he just stairs at her

“if I changed him would dad leave him alone… he’d be like us” I watch her closely “ its true the Cullen’s left but they didn’t know he knew I’m sure if they had known they woulda changed him.” Jane just stood there “I think he might if he had a power thou I’m sure master would want him with us” I looked at him and he was starring at me

“Edward would you be willing to turn into what we are?” he looked deep in thought so I continued “ ill give you time but hurry and call for me if you decide” I got up and started to leave

“ BELLA WAIT!!” I heard him call from behind so I turned around and he was standing holding onto the bars “ Bella I want to… I want to be like you are I want to join you” he was looking at me frantically and I smiled watching him as my heart sped up did he just say he wanted to join me??? I nodded to him and went to take him out while Jane watched me

“wait Bella you cant let him out Aro will want to talk to him and if he cant remember what happened then we cant get a accurate statement” Jane said hastily trying to stop me I looked at her furiously did she just try to tell me no???

“Jane did you just tell ME NO?!?!?!? I am your superior you’ll do well to remember that” she shrank back against the wall and nodded once as I looked back at Edward and softened up a bit when I saw his frightened face.

“come Edward ill do it up stairs so you’ll be more comfortable”

“wait don’t I get to like say goodbye to my family?” and I watched him going over touching his hand

“they’ve already been taken care of I’m sorry we’ve got to do this now” he watched me and started to panic

“ Edward relax and come please” I said standing up pulling him with and he kept watching my eyes as I led him up the stairs Jane fallowing a few steps behind and I brought him to my room telling him to lay down and he did then I sat besides him

“will it hurt Bella?” he asked looking up at me” what if it doesn’t work and I die”

“shh shh shhhhh it’ll be ok Edward you wont feel it well give you a sedative you’ll be fine” just as I finished saying this the syringe was in my hand and I was injecting Edward with it giving it back to Jane and she left quickly. I smiled kissing his forehead “I hope you survive you could be of great use to me” I whispered pushing his hair away from his face and kissed him lightly then bit his neck drinking some and with a lot of force I pulled back kissing where I bit and he started screaming

* 4 days later *

Edwards POV

“hell be up in a minute his hearts slowing” girl 1 said

“he’s gorgeous isn’t he Jane” girl 2 said

I hear someone growl slightly “your mine Bella remember that” a boy said

“of cores I am Alec” Bella said and I heard what sounded like a kiss then it went silent for a few minutes then I opened my eyes slowly staying still I could see everything from the dust motes to every grain in the wooden sealing looking into the light I saw a rainbow with extra colors then I felt something touch my hand and before I knew it I was in a crouch wit my back to the wall looking around and Bella was leaning over a table that must have been my pedestal since I turned and I stood up slowly as she slowly walked around the table to me as I noticed I was in the same kind of robe Jane and Alec were in

“Edward its me Bella… your maker I wont hurt you come to me” she said softly and I smiled running over picking her up spinning her around and she laughed smiling as I sat her down and kissed her she froze and I heard someone growl from behind her so I spun and put myself between her and the threat looking around and she ran around me putting her hands against my chest calming me instantly

“Edward stop it that’s my betrothed Alec he’s just a bit jealous please stop” she looked pleadingly at me and I took her hands nodding “ok” I whispered and she turned and slapped Alec

“HOW DARE YOU HISS AT HIM HES NEW FOR GODS SAKE HE DOESN’T KNOW BETTER YOUR SUPPOSE TO BE MY ELITE IF I CANT COUNT ON YOU TO SET A EXAMPLE I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE TO ME ILL BURN YOU, YOU GOT IT” she said furiously and he looked at her wide eyed nodding feverishly and I touched her shoulder

“my throat hurts Bella” I said and she turned to me nodding “your thirsty lets go hunt” 

~~ edwards POV ~~

"you're thirsty lets go hunt" she took my hand pulling me over to the window i looks at her eyes wide "what are you doing bells are you trying to kill us" i looked out the window just as we came up to it

" oh we won't die it'll take way more then this to even harm us in the slightest" sole looked at me smiling

"well lady's first" i say and she smiles laughing at my hesitence and stands on the edge as i notice shes wearing heals.. how will she land like that? I'm watching her every move as she bends slightly and then jumps hopping i can replicate it and i look back at the people behind me. the boy alec along with the short girl jane, they were holding hands watching me evily

"don't keep her majesty waiting boy" jane says and i quickly turn and jump with out thinking

the ground came at me fast, but slow at the same time I can see every facet of the rocks, and every blade of grass. when I hit the ground it felt only as I'd jumped a few inches up and came down again, it was nothing.

then I looked up and she stole my breath. there stood Bella my sweet Bella smiling at me with her hand stretched out for me and I take it. her skin is the same temp. as mine now. I think looking up at her
God he's so gorgeous, and I thought he was good looking before, oh eddy to bad I'm with Al or I'd have you to myself

"well thanks bells your not to bad yourself, to bad you are with that guy" she looked at me shocked
"w-what h-how you just replied to my thoughts" she said with a studder then pulled me taking off running I soon over took her drumming as fast as I could smiling. then she was in front of me and I almost ran into her looking down shocked at her.

she took my hands "I believe your a mind reader... there's some of us who have powers. jane's is pain... alec sencelessness and I'm a shield. my father,the king, or well one of them anyway he can read mounds to but in a different way. he touches you and he can pull anything from your mind"

"did you hear all that?" she asked and I nodded slowly

"just as I thought then"

                                              ~~bells POV~~

"I believe your a mind reader... there's some of us who have powers. jane's is pain... alec sencelessness and I'm a shield. my father,the king, or well one of them anyway he can read mounds to but in a different way. he touches you and he can pull anything from your mind"

"did you hear all that?" i asked him as he nods slowly

"just as I thought then" I watch him and slowly slide my hands up his arms "if you can hear my thoughts then you know how I feel... is that mutual?" I asked in my mind . I could feel his hands sliding around to my back and his strong arms wrapping around me pulling my body against his chest trapping my arms to his chest

"yes" his voice was soft but ferm I looked up at him and he was smiling down at me I cleared my throat and stepped away

"uh.. we should... should get you fed... close your eyes..."

                                                ~~Edwards pov~~

"uh.. we should... should get you fed... close your eyes...  listen to the sounds around you what do you hear?"

everything bells I hear it all. but I know that's not what you want hmm I heAr some matter... there's a stream, then there's.. there's a heart beat..."

"a heart beating by the stream"

"good how smell, what do you smell? give over to your senses and go" at that moment she stepped away

smell, hmm ok well I hear the heart... what's that... smell it smells almost woodsy not appetizing but at the same time it is. and I take off on a sprint toward it... I can sense her following but at a distance and I'm there in less then 5 seconds perches in a tree watching the buck lap at the water but just as I'm about to pounce the wind changes and I smell something faint but way more appetizing then this buck so I take off scarring the animal off going up the mountain fast slowly leaving her behind

a lion. there was a lion doing what I was just doing, stalking the prey up in a tree, so I circle around it commuting behind waiting a second and pouncing at it dropping us both to the ground.

we rolled around finding holds, it's paws just slid against my skin like it was nothing

I finally pinned it down, and bit at her neck. just when I did the lions blood filled my mouth sliding down my throat quenching my burning throat, but before I was done it was and I threw away it's carus in disgust. looking down at my body and my torn shirt and jeans

"man he looks amazing while hunting and those clothes God I wanna drop them off... oh god he's looking at me he hears me 9x1=9 9x2=18 9x3=27 9x4=63 9x5=54 9x6=45 9x7=63 9x8=72 9x9=81 9x10=90..."

I chuckle going over to her and wrap my arms around her kissing her head then I slide the tatters of what's left of my shirt to the ground looking down

"I can't do much bout my pants" she blushes slightly looking over over at a rock following her gaze I saw a pair of basketball shorts laying there

so I walk over with my back to her and slide the pants off to put the shorts on smirking when I hear the surprise in her thoughts and see my backside there as well her turning quickly.

once I have them on i step up behind her sliding my arms around her waist kissing her neck "are we going back now?"

we don't have to if you want to hunt more..." she whispers barely audible leaning back on me with a sigh

"let's go then" I take her hand and start back to the house

Edward

When we got home bella instantly broke away from me moveing over to alec hugging him smileing and he held her tight glareing at me

Well i thought we had something... My bella... God i wana rip his hands off

'god I want to rip him to shreds who does he think he is that new born. why do we have to keep him. why is bella even thinking of it. whys Jane' (Alec)

'I wonder whats going on between bella and the newborn. whys she being so lenient with him' looks over at alec and bella 'wow hes really protective right now. I wonder if brother will snap at him?'

I looked between Jane and alec "I cane hear you guys i'm right here you know.." I said slightly annoyed.

"you hear what newborn no ones spoken" Alec said pulling my Bella closer to him and she looked up smiling at him

"oh al sweaty isn't it wonderful he's a mind reader we discovered it in the forest. and my shield doesn't apply to him for some reason... I might have slipped thought..." she confessed

'shield? what's a shield' I looked at her confused and she looked back

'my powers are weird I can copy anyone's powers and even thought i'm only half vampire I have the full strength and I don't weaken the longer I go without feeding.' she thought to me smileing

'wait bella can you hear me?' I thought slightly curious and she nodded "yes its quite annoying now to hear everyones thoughts and I can turn it off. don't worry youll learn to drown it out." she said with a smile

"heeeeeeeey beeeeellaaaaaa no fair!" the blond one, jane, exclaimed. "no convos in the head!"

"its ok janey you didn't miss anything he was just wondering bout me" I pause "now what?" she ask looking around at the others.

"we must go home bells" alec says taking my hand, she pouts.

"but we just got here and I've never been away from home!"

"yes but you decided to turn the human-"

"still here" I interrupt annoyed glaring at him

"the human.. and we cant risk him killing the town if you want him alive." Alec finishes and she sigh nodding wow I wana punch him for upsetting her..

"ill get my stuff then I suppose" she start out to her room

"ill help you!!!" Jane yells fallowing after her leaving me and Alec alone 'oh god'

he looks at me as if sizing me up and he crosses his arms.  then it sets in.

I'm going to have to leave my family. my home. the only place I've ever known. and as im on the brink of showing my pain I hear something...

'Edward.'  my head snaps up looking at him

'don't think about my Bella she's my mate you try to touch her and ill kill you'

im watching him rage filling my whole body to the brim his mate?!?!?! I think to myself no its not possible... stop it Edward he's right stay away from Bella... but she likes us a small part of my brain try's to reason but I ignore it and give him a simple nod

he seems satisfied he leaves the room to go pack his things leaving me alone, for the first time since I woke up.\

Bella's POV

"now I know that..." Jane drones on about god knows what but all I can think about is Edward  how is it that in such a short time someone could so fully mean the world to someone else? I've known his only a short time, a blink in my life time and yet

im in love with him I think then I reel at the thought not believing I just thought that but its true I can feel every day the tie between me and alec

oh alec how I love you so, and you've always been there for me kind and caring. but im feeling not as I love you romantically anymore but more of a brother , like you and Ja... im pulled out of my thoughts by someone clearing their throat at the door.

shoot ,I was daydreaming again. alec walks toward me while Jane smiles going into my closet. he takes me in his arms and gives me his signature smile reserved only for me. " its of sweaty well be home soon I know you don't want to but if you want him to stay..." he trails off. he doesn't like Edward, I bet he can sense the bond between us and doesn't like it

***back in Volterra***

ARO'S POV

its been too long since I saw my precious princess, yes its only been a short time in the scheme of things but I missed her just the same. Bella, Jane and alec will get in on the earliest plane  I could wiggle them onto, which happened to be the one coming in now at 4:30 am. not to early humans were confused and suspicious at three beautiful people flying in but not late enough the sun is out which is good. any second they will be walking out and Marcus Caius and I are standing with Renetta, waiting. I can smell them. But wait an unrecognized vampire. Who is that... I reach for Caius' and Marcus' hands  to hear their input on the matter

Caius brother? I ask

unknown I don't like it, its with our princess he hisses in his mind

ahhh, so it has happened she's found a mate... Marcus says shocking me

"what???" I say out loud not realizing till someone looks our way

Bella, but I do not think she yet realizes, or that alec has either.  he elaborates Marcus surprising me farther

Bella's POV

it was a loooong flight and I am ready to be home. I missed father so much while away which I didn't think would happen since we have forever to see each other I'm bringing Edward home and I hope father will love him as much as I do... wait did I say love... oh god...

were walking out the gates now and I'm looking down at my feet still not quite use to the heavy bag I threw over my one arm as id walked down that long hallway from the plane to the airport. and that's when I smell them

"DADDY!" I yell out forgoing my bags and dropping them at Alec's feet as I shoot forward throwing myself into his arms. and he holds me

"my Isabella my sweet your home early does it have to do with the newborn you have with you?" he asks looking past me to Edward with a look I cant quite decipher. but I decide to stay out of his head though it doesn't seem Edward can

"what's a mate Bella?" he asks and I look at him confused when father seems to stiffen I look to uncle caius and Marcus and they've done the same I wonder why I think as I look at him

"oh well its the person your meant to be with their your other half.. like Alec is to me or mama was to daddy..."

he looks confused for a second and I send my thoughts to him

why?

well your father, its weird its like he and the others are speaking...  but they said we are...

he doesn't finish the thoughts before I tune him out turning to father "can we get home id like to speak to you three and Edward.. about his power and.. well I was wanting him to stay.." I say the last part unsure as if its almost a crime and look at Alec who gives me his award winning smile that usually melts me from the inside out. he walks up to me with the bags we carried with us which wasn't much since we can just get more if we want and he hands them off to Edward before snakeing his solid arms around my waist

"shall we head to the castle then?" he asks and I nod letting Jane caius Marcus and daddy lead the way

** in the throne room**

*unknown POV*

the three kings sit on their thrones as Bella stands on the stairs of the Dias and Edward a few feet back from it

" so you want to tell me what this is about my and Edward being mates?" I ask a little annoyed with them knowing my love was for Alec and always had been

"how do you know this my child"

"Edward can read thoughts he heard your conversation and I copied him when we were looking at each other earlier that was us talking" Bella says a little annoyed they're avoiding it

"amazing" aro  mumbles to himself looking at Edward as if hes now a prize. they stand in silence for a minute when finally Marcus speaks up

"my power  picked it up the second you walked off the plane" he says in that voice all but who was close to him would think was a voice of someone bored out of his mind and everyone's head snaps in this attention caius and Aro glaring, Bella's in shock and Edward confused.

"w-what did you say uncle Marcus?" Bella whispers in her shock

"you and him are proper mates, your feelings for Alec will fade you must feel it already" he replied in a kind voice and in that second she knew he was right reflecting on what shed felt since meeting Edward and outwardly looked defeated. just in that moment Edward walked up to her sliding his arm around her shoulder

**Bella's POV**

I feel so defeated I love Alec and he's always been so good to me I cant imagine life without him and I know ill have to tell him when I feel more for Edward then him but till that moment I think ill try to hold onto him.

**Edwards POV**

needless to say i'm shocked I mean its not every day you turn into a vampire hunt for blood then are flown to Italy just to find out that you have a soul mate and that you will want to be with that person forever but when I look at Bella I know its true, I mean how many times had I thought of her, wanted her since id met her.

**Edwards POV **

Bella looks so small so I walk up to her and hesitantly slide my hand around her shoulder pulling her to my body hugging her trying to comfort her, I wish I knew what she was thinking but she's using her shield Marcus is right I already love this girl

"bells its OK to feel this way its how it should be" and as if I've set a bomb off she explodes

"OK! ITS OK TO FEEL FOR ANOTHER MAN WHEN I AM IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH ANOTHER WHEN I LOVE THAT MAN MORE THEN ANYTHING! WHEN HES BEEN THE BEST FRIEND MENTOR AND BOYFRIEND ANYONE COULD EVER HAVE!" she runs out of the room looking like she's about to cry leavening me and the three kings standing in shock watching her receding form and I start after her till someone clears their throat and I know its for me so I look at them and its Aro so I walk over kneeling before the Dias

" please Edward "he says holding his hand out and I take it standing, then I feel it, he's in my mind probing for anything of his daughter so I start from the beginning from when I saw her at school to being throne into her dungeon to turning to hunting and the plane then when we got her all of it in my perspective and he let my hand go

"my son" is all he says before he hugs me and I gasp going still. he stands back

"You will one day marry and when that day comes I hope it is she you truly love here" he motions to the door " and when that comes I will happily give her but till them please accept my offer of a top ranking guard in our ranking" he says in that happy voice of his and i'm speechless but I nod to him thanking him and accepting if only so I may be close to Bella and I smile

my Bella forever I think, then i'm dismissed and I go to find her

*Bella's POV**

god! men! how can they be so stupid i cant f***ing believe i thought for one second i cared for that boy i was right all along to stay with Alec i cant hurt him. i could never do that

i was so wrapped up in my thoughts as i trained that i didn't head Edward walk into the room and sit down to watch me till be said two words

"my Isabella" and the hurt and love was so obvious i nearly melted but i held strong turning to glare

"what the hell do you think your doing in this f***ing room Edward Mason?" i ask with venom in my voice and i can see him cringe but i do not waver " i mean this isn't a place for you to be and i need to be alone"

"without you" i add when he doesn't leave but then he slowly at a humans pace gets up and walks over to me with a plea in his eyes

"bells please i cant take it if your mad at me please" i didn't know why he was so abnent to get on my good side and i just shook my head and turned

"go burn in hell" i unwrap my hands and grab my water bottle to walk out "but i'm your mate.. you must no-"

"YOUR HER WHAT?!?!?!?"

uh-oh Alec... i think cringing as i turn to see Alec slamming Edward against the wall and i hiss running over suddenly pissed off and i grab Alec's hand and use Jane's gift on him, he falls in agony screaming and i let him go standing between him and Edward as he gets his breathing back to normal.

" i didn't want to believe it.. my love say its not true say your still mine" he almost whispers i can hear the heartbreak in it and i fall to my knees in front of him flinging myself into his arms

"oh baby ill always be yours forever Al i l-love you and always will" he holds me tight and i hear Edward run from the room. we stay like that for a while then head back to my room and lay on my bed talking till i fall asleep.

** Bella's POV **

morning

i wake up slowly feeling Alec's fingers running threw my hair lightly

"mmmm" i smile and he stops

" good morning my love did you sleep well?" he asks in a quiet voice and i nod cuddling up to him making him chuckle slightly 

"c'mon sleeping beauty time to get up you still have classes to attend to" i groan and sit up rubbing my eyes he laughs kissing my head and in a second hes gone and i'm getting up to get ready.

when i got to the throne room to see my father that morning i saw Edward at the bottom of the Dias and i his to listen in

"shes rejected me i don't know what to do" Edward says in a defeated tone that breaks my heart

"shell come around, i can feel your bond still growing" uncle Marcus says

"it will take time her and Alec are close, even before they dated they we're close Alec wanted to marry her" father says and i cover my mouth to stop the gasp from escaping

"i wont let him have her shes mine" Edward growls and uncle Cauis is quick to cut in

" we know that Edward, but this will be her choice our princess can and will have who she wants."

i grid my teeth and storm out not caring if the door slammed after me. as i'm walking in the halls i pass Felix and before he even says anything i and running to the gardens.

**5 hours later**

**Edwards POV**

shes been sitting in the same spot for the last five hours and i'm starting to worry. I've wanted to go over and talk to her but shes so distracted she hasn't even blocked her thoughts and knowing her thoughts right now hurts

she seems distracted and i don't know what to do..

just then a woman walks up to her "Isabella!!" she looked mad and she made my poor Bella jump the woman sighs

"i'm sorry teacher i got detracted this morning and i needed to think"

'yes, yes you always do now come along child its time for history" the woman walks off the way she came what a insolent girl she is the worst student I've had thus far

my head snaps to the woman and before id known it i let out a low growl how dare she insult Bella she is my mate! and her princess

"yeah i know" Bella mumbles "hey! why cant father and the other kings teach me history they lived it you just read all of the accounts from history books." my Bella yells with a smug grin, the woman must not of liked this because in seconds shes on Bella hands around her neck and lifting her but in a second more in on the woman making her drop Bella and holding her just as she held my Bella

"HOW DARE YOU EVEN THINK OF HARMING YOUR PRINCESS AND MY MATE" I almost scream at her and i hear Bella gasp

*Bella's POV*

it happened so fast the events that brought me here. i was in the garden when teacher came to get me and the next thing i know Edwards was holding her up yelling at her for hurting me then i'm here. in my room. with him. alone. i'm sitting on my bed facing him and hes in a chair facing me. in silence but to my surprise its was not an awkward silence.

" Bella say something or unblock me this silence is killing me" he comes in front of me and kneels in front of my legs " anything are you OK? did she hurt you when she garbed you?" the worry on his face was so plane if someone walked in they'd for sure know something was up and it warms my heart to know he already cares so much about me but of cores as if on cue Jane walks in

" hey, Bella why is your tea-" she stops seeing our position and Edward is on his feet talking within seconds probably reading her mind

" that was me she tried to choke Bella and i lost my cool" hes rubbing the back of his neck looking uncomfortable and a bit embarrassed i smile slightly so i stand beside him with a weak smile

"yeah id said one of my remarks about father Marcus and Caius teaching history instead and she flipped out on me" she looks skeptical looking between us for a minute but nods

"so whats going on here" she looks between Edward and i skeptically and Edward steps closer as i step away " because you too seem cozy..." she pauses and Edward nods

"yes but  she has high regards for your brother and will not accept me as her mate" i gasp looking at him thinking toward him HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME SHES PRACTICALLY MY SISTER!!

"AHHH!" Edward covers his ears like that will help obviously not expecting my outburst and Jane looks at me with a mix of disappointment joy and love that both saddens me and makes me happy.

"Bella is that true? oh bells don't do that! he'll understand when he finds out" she jumps to me hugging me and i break tearing up slightly as i hug back

" but he hasn't he knows Jane he walked in on me Edward and the kings talking bout it he freaked out" she looks sympathetically and hugs me again

" he loves you that's all he'll understand" i nod to her feeling safe within her arms 

after i calmed down Jane left leaving me and Edward once again alone and he is sitting beside me watching me.

"Bella, Alec cant be the only reason you don't want to accept me whats wrong?" he looks at me with such compassion i almost forget hes a vampire now, and i feel my heart flutter slightly. its at this moment i'm happy my hearts beat is as fast as a humming birds wings because it'll be less noticeable but i know and i look away feeling the heat raise to my cheeks.

why do i feel this way? why do i push him away i think blocking my thoughts. I've been with the same people all my life.. i trail off leaving it at that thinking threw everything

"your afraid ill hurt you." Edward says interrupting my thoughts. " that's what it is you've been around them so long you don't know how ill act and that scares you" i look at him in shock and he quickly explains "you let your shield slip.." he looks at me with a shy smile but i nod

"yeah... i guess that's it.." i look down and he takes my hand " mi amore, i will never hurt you and nothing will separate us as long as i live" he declares and i cant help but to throw my arms around his neck and hug him tightly. he slides his arms around me and i feel as he lifts me onto his lap holding my body closer to him and we sit like this for a long while..

** the next day**

i was sitting with Alec as we watch a movie in the home theater as we usually do on the weekends and he has his arm lightly draped around my waist holding me in place as i think over everything that's happened, and how distant Alec's been since he found out about Edward. i still love him bu i can feel it fading and i can feel my feelings for Edward grow every day.

" Alec can i talk to you" i say as the man in the movie says that to his girlfriend and i have a sickening feeling as the next few minutes play out just as the movie does.

"what is it Bella?"

"i think we should take a break.." i say more hesitantly then the man in the movie who's so sure of his choice

" you mean we should break up?" he asks shocked and the girl tears up as i nod

"yes i do i'm sorry I've fallen for another man" he stands

" you mean Edward" i nod again and turn the movie off not being able to watch it anymore.

" yes i do i'm sorry the pull is just to strong i cant fight it and i'm... i'm finding i don't want to..." i find myself trailing off again as i see the hurt flooding Alec's face and i catch a glimpse of something black in his hand and i look at it a bit closer and gasp

its a ring box was her going to... OH GOD i look at him in surprise

...OH GOD i look at him in surprise

he was going to purpose to me during the movie.. oh god and i...

i'm starring at him shocked and he looks so hurt and within the next few seconds he drops the box, i stand up, and he is out the door running.

i bend down picking up the box and opening it and its a beautiful silver ring encrusted with diamonds and has a big sapphire on the top. its the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

and what makes it worse.

i recognize it.

its my mothers ring, my father gave her when he found out she was having me. the only difference from before was the aquamarine stone was replaced with my birthstone.

i tear up knowing he would have asked dad for this because dad wears it around his neck... i stand with the ring in hand looking up to see my dad in the door way

"oh daddy" i run over to him throwing my arms around him and i start to cry

** later that evening**

" he hates me daddy i just know it"

" no he doesn't"

"you didn't see his face"

"i didn't have to i say how he ran, and i know Alec"

"he hates me" i sniff

"he doesn't hate you Bella hes just upset"

" he wanted to marry me" i stress marry as much sit baas i can looking at my dad

"yes he did, but Bella, --" i cut him off

" but nothing father i broke his heart.. HE ASKED FOR MAMAS RING FOR GOD SAKE'S"i stand toward the end

" Bella..." he holds out his arms and i collapse into them snuggling up like i was in my 5 year old form again

"daddy take the ring i cant look at it anymore this hurts so much..."

he shakes his head "no Bella keep it its yours now" i hug him tight

"Bella do you love Edward?" he asks me and i sit back from him

" of coarse i do... "

" then what anyone else thinks about this shouldn't matter to you. yes Alec may get upset but all that matters is that YOU are happy. OK?" he wipes my tears away and i smile slightly nodding.

"OK daddy."

** two days later**

I've avoided Edward since the event with Alec, and Alec hasn't come home yet. me and Jane are both really worried about him. but we know he will show up eventually

i'm sitting in the humongous library on the third floor landing that has a small fireplace in the corner with a short oval coffee table in front of. all of which is surrounded with a super stuffed couch and the chair i am currently sitting in reading my favorite book of all time when someone walks into the library from below and starts looking around and usually i wouldn't pay attention to anyone not in my personal little nook of the library except this person is..

Alec... Alec is back?? does Jane know? how long has he been here? did he just arrive... there are so many questions going on in my head but all i can think is hes home and safe. i jump up in that second screaming his name and just as he looks up i jump off the balcony and right at him knowing he will catch me but for a second he looks afraid and he runs to catch me

"princess how many times have i told you not to jump off of that balcony" he smiles widely " your only six i don't care if you look older... did you do some growing when i was away?"he asks and look at him utterly shocked

"Alec I'm 9 not 6 why are you treating me like a kid..." I sigh " anyway I wanted to talk to you about what happened two days ago...I'm so sorry I didn't know you were Gana purpose but I found my mate with Edward an-"

" Wait bells why would I do that?" He laughs "I haven't even asked you out yet" he looks nervous and I step back "besides I've been gone for a week on a mission..."

"Alec what do you mean the last time we went anywh- fallow me" I take his hand and drag him to the throne room

*****

"Alec?!?!?!" Father stands looking at us

"Dad we have a problem... he doesn't remember anything"

"Alec what year is It... " Dad asks slowly and Alec looks at us confused

"Its 1992... we had bells 5th birthday a week ago..."

" I told you I'm not 5! I'm 9 it's 1996" i yelled in frustration. and my dad called in Clarice to look at Alec. Clarice is new to the guard and only joined within the past year or so, and has the ability to see the minds memories and if they are blocked or loss. so basically shes the "doctor" when it comes to this sort of thing because she also can restore the memory if they are blocked or buried. shes of low ranking in the guard but shes a good fighter and her mate is in the guard so we keep her around.

" Clarice look at Alec's mind and see where his memory of the past 4 years have gone." daddy asks still watching him

"yes master" she replies and walks over to him quickly eager to do as dad asked

"whoa!!" Alec says in alarm "who the hell are you!?!" he asks

She looks at him shocked "Alec you brought me..." she sighs and gets to work "oh there's definentally a block... What happened before he left?" she asks and everyone looks at me. I start to get self conscious and start to fidget going to grab the ring that's on a necklace around my neck, after all it was my mothers.
"Um... I... Broke up with him because i found my mate on the day he was going to ask me to marry him..." i respond slowly
