As I sat down on the plane I pulled of my wedding rings with a discusted sigh. The honeymoon was a desaster! Edward not only forced himself on me but he showed his true colors. So I boarded a plane to the furthest place Egypt when he was out hunting.

"Bad day?" the young woman next to me. She had long black hair, olive skin and brown contacts waring off to reaveal red eyes.

"Vampire." I whispered.

"How'd did you..."

"My husband is Edward Cullen, he... he... he was so different than he has been for the past two years. He was so controlling...so feral... I … how didn't I see.?" I began to sob.

"Shhh," she said moving to hug me. " My family will protect you."

"You have a family?"

She pulled a picture out of her purse. It showed three Egyptian looking vampires. "My sire Amun, his mate Kebi, and my brother Benjamin." She sniffed me for the second time.

"What?"

"You smell almost like him. No, you can't be... his mate."

I could feel myself blanching. "no, no, no, no. I just ran from the marriage from hell I can't..."

"Trust me on this. Benjamin is the 180 of Edward . He'll take care of you. He'll never lie to you. Don't you want that?"

"Yes," I admitted. That was all I wanted from anyone.

"Name's Tia."

"Bella."

Tia spent the whole flight making sure I was alright, keeping me fed and making sure I slept. When we got to Egypt she grabbed our luggage and escorted me out to the blistering heat.

The three people from the photo met us on the curb, no sparlkle in sight. But I could not keep my eyes from Benjamin. He was young, 20's maybe, with a long face and promanant cheek bones.

"Amun, Kebi Benjamin this is Bella she's..."

"My mate." His voice was like sultry honey. "You smell like another male my love why?"

"She's married to Edward Cullen. He went feral on her on the honeymoon, so she ran." Tia explained through clenched teeth.

"We will protect you little one," Amun said in a serious tone. " To the Den to rest tonight then tomorrow a lawyer to talk enulment."

I nodded. "Oh, Tia you never told me why you were in Rio."

She shrugged. "Felt like Brazilian food."

We all laughed.

The den was more like a palace underground. All reds, greens blues and golds. A large pool took up most of the main room.

"It's lovely," I said

"Benjamin take Isabella to your suite. She's dead on her feet," said Kebi.

"Yes Mother," he picked me up. "Sleep Sweetheart."

And I did letting go of my fear.
