Bella's POV

"Hello?" I waited for the person on the other end of the phone to answer back it didn't take long.

"Hey Bella sorry to wake you at such a fucking ungodly hour, I'll make this quick we got trouble." I sighed looking at the clock yeah it was four in the morning, fucked up thing was I haven't slept all night it's been like this for over a year.

"I wasn't sleeping anyway it's fine, so go on tell me whats happening." He continued on. "Well I don't want you to freak or nothin' like that Bella, but there have been reports and sightings about some rouges in New Orleans. I don't know if I believe any of it, however I would like to go and ask around perhaps some paranormals live in the area and can give us some info."

"I know of a family that will help us out they owe me a life dept for saving one of thier coven members. They're cold ones called the Cullens." I knew I'd have to visit that place once again someday I just didn't realize it would be this soon.

"You think this family will welcome us into their home willingly? If so we'll have to go and visit with this family. Can you contact them and ask?"

"Yeah, Mark no problem call me when you're outside my place?"

"Sure thing and Bella was it that dream again?" His tone was always so concerned. Leo and him both worried too damned much. It was for good reason I suppose.

"It always is, you know that." I hung up and dialed a number I hoped was still available.

Carlisle's POV

"Esme he's our son we must support him even if we do not approve of how it began." My beautiful mate glared at me with frustration in her eyes.

"He hurt my daughter Carlisle and now shes gone. He lead her on about being his mate and then he slept with Tanya. I can't forgive him for that, I love our son I really do, but I cannot support this."

"Esme is right what Edward did to Bella was despicable and he never deserved her, I'm proud of her for leaving. Though this may come as a shock to you both I miss her too." Rose's confession had us reeling.

As our argument got heated my phone rang.

"Cullen residence." There was a snort at the other end of the phone before they spoke up.

"Is that seriously how you guys answer the phone? Jesus Christ." All three of us were shocked apparently everyone in the house heard and recognized the voice at the other end of the phone. Well except Tanya.

Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Edward, and Tanya raced in. "B-Bella is this really you?" She chuckled. "Yes, Carlisle it's me. Listen I need to ask you some things, things I can't ask about over the phone. Do you mind if tomorrow I came with two close friends of mine. We'll only take but a few moments of your time." Bella's voice was very buisness like, it was disturbing in a way.

"Of course I don't mind Bella you are always welcome back here, it's as much your home as the rest of my children." There was a pause.

"Well, we'll be traveling tonight so we be there by two pm. Goodnight Carlisle." She hung up and we were all looking at one another in disbelief.

"Was that the swan girl that left over a year ago?" Tanya asked in distaste and honestly I didn't give a damn if she liked my daughter or not, Bella might not be my blood related daughter, but Esme and I had adopted her as our own. Just like the rest of our children.

"Watch it Tanya thats my sister you're talking about!" Alice always looking out for Bella. I could tell she was happy she was coming back to visit.

"What did Bella mean she had things to talk with you about? And why didn't she ask to talk with me?" Edward ever the curious one.

"Edward don't you even start you're the one at fault for her not wanting to speak with you and I honestly don't blame her." Esme finally spoke up and she was right the boy deserved far worse.

"Well I say we Invite them for dinner and ask Bella how she's been." Emmett really missed Bella we all knew this, he obviously worried about her too.

"Emmett I believe that is a wonderful idea." Smiling I thought about Bella's tone she sounded so tired.

Bella's POV

It was one-thirty in the afternoon as we reached the Cullen house Leo always did drive like a nut, for once though I didn't care. However Markus and Leo were bickering and that shit got on my nerves. Dear lord! When they fought like this it was like an annoying old married couple.

As soon the car parked I hopped out so relieved to be free of the morons, walking toward the house I notice movement coming toward me and immediately tensed. My footsteps however never faltered.

"Well, darlin' theres certainly more confidents in your the way you walk." Jasper's southern accent was still able to make me smirk. He smiled widely at me before speaking again.

"We've missed you here Bella." There was a lot of emotion behind his words. which was rare for him, I smiled and replied. "I've missed most of you." Jasper laughed at my use of words. He knew there was no lost love between Edward and I at least on my part.

Turning around to see the moron duo still bitching at each other I finally flipped my shit. "YOU TWO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET YOUR ASSES IN GEAR WE'RE HERE TO WORK IDIOTS!" Jasper burst out laughing at my colorful language.

"I think I'm going to enjoy this change you've made." I rolled my eyes at his amused tone. "Carlisle is in his office correct?" He nodded comfirming my question.

"Good listen Jasper I need to speak to you and him so come on. You two ask the rest of the family anything we might need for this case." The southern vampire looked at me with puzzlement in his eyes.

We entered the house they were all there just staring at me now.

Jasper's POV

Bella was back, but she had changed she looked even more beautiful then the last time I had seen her. She also had a dangerous look in her eyes that said she wasn't to be fucked with.

She had an hourglass shape, her hair longer, and her right arm caught my attention the most, a tattoo of flames from her shoulder twining around each finger on her hand. Upon walking into the house the family stared at her.

"Leo, Markus get to work and no more goddamn bickering I swear if I hear even a little bit of arguing from the two of you... well you remember what happened the last time." The whole family was wide eyed now.

The way the two men winced when she said that made me a bit well curious and I'm sorry but it also made me want to laugh. They were afraid of Bella. They were like three times her size.

As soon as Carlisle's eyes saw her they grew warm, a smile spread across his face. His daughter was finally home.

"Bella it's good to see you again we were wondering if you'd like to stay for dinner? After I've answered your questions." He added with hope. She looked hesitant.

"Yes, thank you that would be lovely I'm sure the boys will be hungry by then." When I looked to the men they both nodded their heads enthusiastically.

"Carlisle, Bella has asked me to join in on this conversation." Edward was feeling angry and Jelous, the most unsuprising emotion he felt toward Bella was lust.

"Alright well then lets go to my office." As soon the door shut Carlisle grabbed her in a tight hug and Bella felt uncomfortable as she hugged him back.

"Esme and I have missed you." There was an extraordinary ammount love in those words, Bella smiled and sat down before she spoke.

"You all know why I left. Anyways thats not important, what can you two tell me about the attacks that have been happening?" Her tone was all buisness.

"Darlin' the only thing I can tell you about these attacks, is that they are not vampire nor wolf related." She chuckled humorlessly.

"Tell me something I don't know. How frequent are they?" I had a question of my own first.

"Bella why do you need to know all this? Whats going on?" Sighing with frustration her tone was bored as she answered.

"The two downstairs asking the rest of you guys info are hunters of rouges and I am as well. Leo, Markus, and I go around and kill the paranormals that have gotten out of hand with hunting humans. We kill the ones that kill the innocent without a second thought."

Whoa what a fucking change. She ran her fingers through her hair tiredly. "Carlisle you wouldn't happened to have any cognac would you?" However Bella had lovely taste in booze.

"Eh.. yes I'll ask Esme to have it out for dinner for you and your friends." She nodded then asked.

"So you've no idea how frequent the attacks are?" I aswered her this time.

"They're three days or a week apart." Her eyes flickered in recognition of some sort. "Bella what does that mean?" She smirked before answering.

"I believe it means that the attackers are demons." She said as causually as if we were speaking about the weather.

Esme's POV

My daughter was finally home where she belonged, I have missed her since the moment I knew she was gone. Though she has changed she's still my Bella.

"Hey um Carlisle wants you to have the cognac out for dinner, not sure why perhaps Bella's friends would like to drink tonight." Rose's tone was puzzled.

As everything was set, everyone in place including Bella's friends. All that was missing was my mate, Jasper and Bella herself. "So who are you two to Bella?" Edward was already starting something I could tell.

The blond one spoke first. "My names Markus Domica and this here is my boyfriend Leo Rezz, we are Bella's best friends. Brothers just not by blood really, and we're her co-workers in a sense."

"Why can't I read your minds?" Really this boy needed to stop being angered over such trivial things. The auburn haired answered this question suprising all of us.

"Bella trained us she once said we might run into something like that, and well I see now she was right." Edward of course growled at that.

"What is it the three of you do for a living?" Tanya's tone was patronizing. Dear lord how I wished this woman would just leave my home already. Edward looked shocked at where my thoughts had gone. I shrugged at him.

"We hunt rouge paranormals who've lost their sense of humanity. Bella is way better at it then us though the way she moves when she fights, one the most beautiful things I've seen." Markus smiled as he spoke about Bella. Leo nodded in agreement.

"She's so graceful and when she hunts theres no stopping her. She really went all out on that Victoria woman too." Now we all froze.

"She killed Victoria? How? I would have seen it." Alices voice was amazed.

"That is beacuse of the ground up were-wolf teeth in my moon charm necklace." Bella finally sat in between Leo and Markus grabbed the cognac poured it into a glass and took a big drink.

"Why would you do that?" Alice sounded hurt. Bella poured more cognac into her glass before replying.

"Because I needed no interferences from any of you. I am thankful for the concern, but I needed to get that done on my own."

"Why have you ruined yourself with that tattoo." He spat nastily before I could scold him she cut me off.

"This tattoo allows me to be free of any demon trying to possess my soul. Besides I quite like this tattoo." I could see Rose smiling at her from across the table.

"You know it's actually really sexy Bella." Bella smiled and thanked her. By now Bella was on her sixth glass of cognac and she wasn't even slurring as she spoke.

"Jasper you're the thinker when it comes to these attacks did you happen to take any photos?" He held up one finger ran out and back into the dinning area. Then handed them to her.

"Leo take a look at how they're placed." He studied them for a moment. A look of absolute confusion came upon his face.

"Fully clothed, no markings on the thier backs, and their head are still attatched...? The only thing wrong here is there is some flesh missing from the bodies, Hmmm Bella whats on your mind I know that look."

"Were dealing with two paranormals here a demon and a cold one, They must have struck some sort of deal. Demons are ruthless. The only question is what does this demon seek? Jasper where was this photo taken?"

"New Orleans, a witch named Constantine Kurlo, he works for me. He took these photos and sent them. If you go looking for him just say Mr. Whitlock owes you a favour." Bella finished the cognac.

"Well then looks like we're off on another road trip huh? Buy us a house there so that if there is ever another case we have somewhere to stay."

"Sure thing, we've even booked a hotel for the night so that we could rest before we head out." Bella rolled her eyes at the blond.

"You know I don't give a fuck if we go now, besides your ass is driving not me." Her language had certaintly become colorful. Emmett of course laughed.

"Why not stay here for the night?" Alice suggested softly.

Emmett's POV

"Sounds like an idea. Thank you, for the your kindness." Bella's tone sounded reluctant. This was still my little sister, but she had changed a whole hell of a lot. First of she could drink an entire bottle of cognac and not even slurr.

"Excellent! I'll get two rooms set up right away, Bella would you mind if Alice, Rose, and I came in to speak with you in say an hour?" There was a wealth of emotion in Esme's question. Bella nodded her head.

Esme smiled like she'd been given the world. "Ella you're looking tired are you alright?" My nickname caused her to smirk a bit.

"I'm doing ok Emmett nothing to worry about, promise." I accepted the answer even though I didn't believe a word of it at all.

"Alice would you please show me where I'll be staying? I need some rest. Dinner was lovely Esme." Esme beamed at Bella's praise.

Watching her get up and walk as gracefully as she was even with all that liquor inside her was pretty amazing and scary. Was she drinking so much anymore it no longer affected her? I was very worried for her.

She looked tired, cautious, tense, and unhappy. I hated Edward for what he had done to her she was a good woman. He never deserved her. If Tanya was his mate he should have never played with Bella's heart. After all he knew the Denali woman before he ever met Bella.

Even my Rosie had hated Edward after hearing he had cheated. She'd stayed over at Bella's just so he wouldn't show up at her house. Rose had told me the different side of Bella she saw that night. They'd bonded and now it was unbreakable.

I hoped that Bella found her forever mate in New Orleans, it was the paranormal state for a reason... well at least I believed so.

"Emmett don't think such stupid things." Eddie's voice was grating on my damn nerves. I replied through my teeth. "Bella finding someone who actually loves her isn't stupid, asshole."

"I agree with Emmett, Bella deserves to find her mate and for your sake I hope he is more forgiving for what you pulled Edward!" Alice was back and obviously must have had a vision of some sort. She smiled smugly at him as well, she still hadn't forgiven him for his fuck up.

"How?!" Edward was throwing quite the tantrum now. Alice's glared at him, with an anger I had never witnessed the pixie like vampire ever display.

"She deserves happiness Edward. If you fuck this up for her I will make it my personal mission to make your eternity on this earth a living hell!" Her voice was firm and harsh all very unsual things for her.

"I don't need to worry about some pathetic human." Now I was growling Jasper by my side doing the same. Esme walked in looking pissed.

"Edward I think it would be best for you to retire for the night with your...mate." She at looked at Tanya with poorly hidden distaste.

Rosalie's POV

I knocked, as the door opened I was suprised to see she was already showered and dressed. "Come on in." Alice and Esme already behind me.

She sat on the bed in silence, Bella knew we had things to say. I started first. "Bella, you do know you can stay here with us right?"

She sighed. "Rose I do know that, but I can't my place is not here. I hope one day I'll find it, you guys will just have to deal with visits." She smirked.

"What son has done to you is unforgivable, I am sorry that he broke your heart and your trust in people." Bella's eyes held a flicker of emotion, she so fast at masking I couldn't catch what emotion she was feeling.

"It's fine, besides I got to meet the rest of you and that is something I am quite greatful for." Esme hugged her close.

"Bella, I have watched you tonight and I see the changes in you. I am very proud to call you one of my children."

Bella said nothing just nodded her head. "I'll see you three in the morning. Goodnight." Bella's was putting up her walls and we needed to let her... so she could feel safe.

The next morning Bella and her friends skipped breakfast and decided they were leaving early.

"Bella take care of yourself and be safe." She smiled wickedly at me. "Rose if I wasn't naughty once in awhile, it would be quite a dull life now wouldn't it?

Klaus' POV

Kol and I had just heard about our new neighbors, from our dear sister Rebekah. Two men and a young woman hopefully they kept to themselves, or else things would not end well for these humans.

Kol being his usual strange self knocked on the door with a smile he'd often used when killing people, as though we were just here for some tea and a chat. When a blond man answered the door he looked conflicted, before smiling his own false smile. How interesting...

"Hello what can I do for you gentleman?" His voice held a cautiousness to it. Smart man. Deciding to play the game of masks, I put on my own fake smile.

"Our little sister informed us that we had new neighbors and we just thought it would be lovely to meet you all. I'm Niklaus Mikaelson and this here is my younger brother Kol." Lying through my teeth was a talent I was greatful for.

"Nice to meet you." Kol chuckled he could tell the human was unsettled and fed off of that kind of shit.

The man looked at us for a moment obviously not trusting us. "Markus Domica nice to meet you as well. Allow me to get the others so they can meet you as well." His smile was a little more genuine, but still gaurded.

"LEO, BELLA!" An auburn haired man walked up beside markus this was obviously Leo. "You had better have a damn good reason for yelling, since you know I have a hangover you asshole." This was said with quite a lot of man though three times her size shrank back. As she got closer I caught her scent it was over for me.

She was gorgeous and two she was my soul mate and my imprint. I couldn't wait to get to know her. I listened intently as she spoke. Her voice went straight to my dick smooth, soft and melodic.

The smell of peaches, white tea, and cinnamon was intoxicating, upon looking over for the source I found a young woman that could only be in her early twenties, short 5'2, slim waist but lovely curves, dark reddish brown hair it was down to her to waist, and long slim legs.

Her eyes were same dark reddish brown her hair was. Lips a beautiful pink color the perfect bow shape. Her eyelashes thick and long she wore no makeup a natural beauty something that was rare. Her skin pale, all flawless except for the tattoo that ran out of her sleave and ended wrapped around each finger. The design was not one I had ever seen before, it looked like swirling black flames.

She wore tight black jeans a lilac shirt with long sleeves. Her leather high heeled boots were a major turn on for me, the only jewelry she wore were a leather cord necklace with a silver moon crescent charm and a her ears were pierced, on left her wrist a leather cuff bracelet it looked to have a silver wolf head on the front, I wondered if there were other piercings I couldn't see.

"Well what was so fucking important you had to screech to get my attention?" They both paled now as she glared at them. Markus answered her question without hesitation.

"W-we have neighbors." Pointing in our direction, my mate rolled her eyes with annoyance. Then she shook her head as she sighed.

"Honestly why I keep you two morons around is a fucking mystery." The blond looked shocked.

"What is that supposed to mean Bella?!" Bella the name suited her well. She laughed without humor. "Well for one they aren't human and two they could have compelled you in just seconds. Next time ask me to answer the door if I'm not home leave it alone." Her tone held no room for argument.

Markus and Leo nodded their heads obidiently. Kol started laughing his ass off.

"Oh great and one of them is crazy. Whatever look come on in, but if you do anything stupid I will uninvite you are we clear?" My mate was very cautious and obviously wasn't stupid.

Kol and I nodded our heads. I sent a silent message to Kol through my mind link with him, just like we like we all had with eachother. ~"Bella is not to be harmed in any way nor is she available for a roll in between the sheets. She is my mate and imprint, treat her with respect."~ My brother's eyes widened for a second before he nodded.

She turned around walking into the living area, I caught sight of her little sexy ass. The wolf and vampire part of me were both going wild. I wanted to claim her right fucking here.

The growl that came from my chest was one I could not control, As I walked out toward her I noticed she was watched us from the corner of her eye. She knew we were dangerous.

I wonder what happened to her to make her this gaurded. "Bella are you sure we should let them in." Leo asked her.

She shrugged. "Time will tell if it was a good idea or not." They looked at her as though she was off her rocker.

"Both of you go unpack more of your shit. I still have to firgure how to contact Kurlo. Fucking witches and their undetection spells I swear to Christ!" That name I know it... why would she be looking for Constantine Kurlo?

"He was murdered over a week ago." Kol stated like she had asked him about how cups of sugar you put in pie mixture. Her eyes turned into an ember fire like color for a moment.

"Fuck! Well do you have any clue where he was living?" She sounded tired and annoyed.

"Yes I happened to have a lot of information on this particular witch. Why don't you and your friends come over for dinner tonight and we'll discuss it all then." Although it was more of a command than a request, I really hoped she agreed.

"Fine." She said irritatedly I would it whatever she gave.
