Anyways, for legality sake. I own nothing and this a mere fantasy I have come up from the book Twilight written by Stephenie Meyer. This is all for fun and the enjoyment of myself and those who wish to read it. So without out further delay, Lets do this!
CHAPTER 1
The thunderous crack that echoed after one of the Cullen's had made contact with the bat to the baseball caused Bella to wince from the sound but none the less she smiled as she covered her ears. The entire family was having a wonderful evening of playing a bit of competitive baseball as Bella watched and occasionally helped Esme make some calls on if someone was safe or out.
So far the whole day was going great except for the small outburst from Rosalie when she said she was out, but other than that everyone was having a spectacular time. There was friendly banter and laughter going around as the Cullen's would poke fun at one another and Bella loved to listen in and laugh with them.
The day couldn't get any better… so it got worse.
Suddenly Alice had gasped and froze in her spot as she had a faraway look in her eyes. Everyone knew it could only mean one thing, Alice was having a vision. Before Alice could even come out of her vision fully Edward was behind Bella with his arms wrapped around her waist protectively as a loud growl rumbled out of him "She's mine!" He roared out as he tightened his grip on her "She's my mate!"
Bella stiffened as she felt the cold of Edwards body seep into hers as he pressed himself further into her. She had no idea what was going on, and by looking at the expression of every other Cullen besides Alice, they were just as confused as she was.
Alice finally came out of her vision and looked to her mate Jasper who quickly appeared by her side. "They're coming. Three nomadic vampires are heading this way, they heard us playing. One of them is-"Alice quickly spoke but was cut off by a loud growl from Edward as he tightened his already impossibly tight grip on Bella.
"She's mine! I will not let them have her!" Edward roared as he moved back with Bella securely in his arms "We need to get her out of here!"
The rest of the Cullen's had already moved closer to Edward and Bella once Alice spoke. Carlisle was about to say something until Alice visibly froze up again.
"It's too late… They're already here…" The pixie vampire whispered in fear as she and her mate quickly moved with the rest of her family to form a protective half circle around Bella and Edward.
Everything was going on too fast for Bella to understand. One minute they are having fun and playing baseball, the next Edward is smothering her while growling and claiming her. Of course when Edward claimed her to be his it made her heart flutter but at the same time it scared her. He was holding on to her a little too tightly and it was causing her some discomfort. Not to mention suddenly everyone was in a defensive position with their eyes focused on something she just couldn't see.
It didn't take long for Bella to see what was happening as three figures appeared out of the forest tree line and into sight. They were too far away for her to get a good look and before she could Edward quickly positioned her behind him and blocked her view.
The three unknown figures reached the Cullen's and Bella in a matter of seconds as they ran towards them at their vampires speed.
"Well, what do we have here?" said a tall male with blonde hair that was put into a low ponytail wearing jeans and only a dark leather jacket with no shirt underneath as he was tossing one of the baseballs one of the Cullen's lost during the game up and down in his hand. "Playing a bit of baseball are we? Mind if we join?" The blonde said with a wide smile and his red eyes meeting with each Cullen.
As his gaze fell on Edward he noticed something fidgeting behind the bronze haired boy who was giving him a low growl but chose to ignore it.
Behind Edward, Bella was trying get a full view of the new vampires but Edward had positioned himself to where she could only see the blonde and the olive-toned skinned vampire with dark hair, the third vampire was a complete mystery to her.
Like the good diplomat he was Carlisle stepped up and smiled at the three vampires "Of course you can, but before we begin again may we know your names. I'm Carlisle Cullen and I'm the leader of this coven."
The Olive-toned man with black hair that stood a bit taller than the blonde male stepped up and offered his hand to Carlisle "I'm Laurent Da Revin, it's a pleasure to meet you Carlisle."
Carlisle shook the offered hand and smiled "It's wonderful to meet you"
Laurent stepped back as he looked over to his blonde companion who smiled widely showing off his fangs "I'm James Witherdale" the blonde replied as offered his hand to Carlisle and Carlisle shook it.
"Nice to meet you James." Carlisle responded as he returned the smile and looked to their last companion.
Bella was still trying to see who the newest vampires last companion was but Edward was still stubbornly in her way so she sighed and resigned herself to just listening.
Carlisle looked at the last of the new vampires, her flaming red hair, bright red eyes only seemed to be enhance by her pale skin. She was only a little shorter than the other vampires with her.
The red head only scoffed and was quickly elbowed by the blonde, now known as James. "Be nice Victoria." He laughed as he looked to Carlisle "Sorry about her." He motioned toward the scowling red head with his head "She's just cranky 'cause she's hungry." He laughed light heartedly.
Carlisle smiled as he saw the red head known as Victoria punch James in the shoulder. "Shut up" she growled lightly "I wouldn't be if we had stopped for something on the way here."
Bella couldn't help but tense at the sweet voice that came from the third nomadic vampire. To her it sent a pleasant warmth through her body that made her heart flutter. She knew every vampire had a sweet voice to help lure in their prey but this voice was more exceptional than any other voice she had previously heard and it drew here in.
Edward must of heard her heart speed up because he backed himself closer to her and gave her a sideways glance over his shoulder before quickly looking back to the vampires before them. Bella didn't pay too much attention to Edward as she was brought back to the conversation between the new vampires.
James mocked hurt as he held his shoulder and whimpered even though Victoria didn't even punch him hard enough for there to be a crack sounding off of their collision. "Owwie! You're such a meanie Vicki" he cried out as a small smile tugged at his lips.
Victoria couldn't help but scoff as she rolled her eyes "Whatever James, you're such a baby." She looked over at him and couldn't help the small smile that formed on her lips as he pouted.
Before James or Victoria could continue their banter Laurent spoke "So before my friends decide to embarrass themselves any further, could you introduce us to your lovely coven Carlisle?"
This time both James and Victoria scoffed as the focused back on the Coven before them.
"Ah, I apologize. The lovely woman to my right is my wife and mate Esme." He smiled as she reached out to his wife and clasped his hand in hers and intertwined their fingers.
"It's a nice to meet you." Laurent said as James smiled and waved, and Victoria just nodded.
As Esme was about to respond Emmet quickly moved forward with his goofy grin in place and holding Rosalies hand. "I'm Emmet and this my mate Rosalie" He boomed and smiled as he affectionately kissed Rosalie on the cheek.
Once again they said their pleasantries. Everyone was slowly introducing themselves until it came to Edward. The family had still stayed in the protective half circle but as all eyes were on Edward, Carlisle spoke up for him.
"And last but not least is Edward and his mate Bella." Carlisle said as he and the rest of the Cullens watched the nomadic vampires carefully.
Edward kept Bella behind him, not allowing her to see any of the new vampires as he pressed his back into her front completely.
"It's nice to meet you" Edward said. You could tell it was forced politeness as he smiled at the three vampires in front of him.
The Cullens seemed to stiffen as James quirked an eyebrow and tried to look past Edward but was only reward with a soft growl from the bronze haired boy.
"So do we get to meet or see this elusive Bella?" James asked as he looked to Carlisle.
Carlisle always seeming to knowing what to say and do and didn't even look perplexed by the question as the rest of his coven stiffened again. "Of course, although she is a bit shy. Plus she is not feeling well so she and Edward are about to take their leave. So you will have to see her at a better time. Although we are quite fortunate you showed up when you did seeing as we would have been short two players."
Taking the hint, Edward quickly turned around and began to usher Bella away. He turned one last time to look over his shoulder at the nomadic vampires "It was a pleasure meeting you." He said with a forced smile.
Just as the three vampires were about to respond back a wind blew past Edward and Bella towards them. James eyes grew wide while turning a dark crimson as his smile turned into wolfish grin and he took a big whiff of the air. "Mmmhh! What a delectable smell." He growled out as he looked to his companions and noticed Laurent had the same expressions as he did. Victoria seemed to purr as her eyes went to a dark crimson that was almost black.
As much as Victoria's reaction confused him, James needed to see the source of this irresistible scent that made the fires of his thirst flare up and almost consume him. So as soon as the words left James mouth he was right in front of Bella his red eyes gazing into her chocolate brown ones.
It only took a second but Edward had Bella wrapped in his arms and was growling fiercely at James. "Don't you touch her!" He bellowed as he tightened his hold on Bella causing Bella to yelp out in surprise and pain. The entire Cullen coven was bent down and looked as if they were ready to pounce.
Bella was in pain at how tight Edward was holding her but that didn't last long as a ferocious roar pierced the air and she was instantly released from Edwards grasp after it and Edward was separated from her with sickly CRACK! And she saw him being thrown several yards away and almost into the forest. Without Edward holding her though she fell and was about to fall onto the ground until she felt a new pair of cold arms wrap gently around her and lift her up.
The new pair of arms encircling her were soft and for some reason provided her comfort. It didn't make sense but she didn't have time to dwell on that as she saw the rest of the Cullen's form a circle around her and the person who was holding her. Whoever was holding her though was letting out a series of deep warning growls and hisses towards the Cullen's and James.
James quickly backed away with his hands in the air to show he meant no harm "Well this a nice new development" He laughed lightly as he kept backing away "Who would have thought this would happen. Our little Vicki finding her m-"James was interrupted by Edward as he came crashing into the blonde nomadic vampire at a speed that sent them both flying with a loud Crack!
Even from the distance Edward and James had landed she could hear Edward growl out "You're wrong! She's Mine!"
From where she was she noticed how Edward had started a fight with James and they blurred in and out of her sight. Bella was so focused on watching the fight and some of the Cullen's and Laurent trying to break it up, she forgot about the arms holding her until they pulled her closer to the only last remaining vampire that wasn't out trying to break the fight up and it brought her back to her own predicament.
Bella stiffened with fear as she looked down at the pale arms around her waist. They were long and slender as they drew her even closer. She felt a light weight on her shoulder as a soft purring sound could be heard and she could feel a small vibration from it behind her. Bella squeaked in surprise to the purring. She felt instantly relaxed and calmer by the purring but as she heard several loud cracking, thudding and earth shattering booms it brought her back to reality. She didn't know who was holding her and what was going on but she had to get to Edward. She could no longer see him and that scared her. Not to mention she was absolutely terrified and confused as to what was going on with herself and whomever was holding her.
She needed to get away from this person who was still purring and to get to Edward. Bella tried to move away and struggled to get free but the arms around her only pulled her further into the person holding her. The purring stopped and out came a soft warning growl. Bella froze at the growl and slowly began to turn around to finally see who was keeping her captive.
As she turned around in the arms that held her she gasped. She came face to face with the most beautiful vampire she had ever seen. Her fiery red hair swayed in the wind as her red eyes gazed lovingly and longingly at her and her red lips pulled back in a gentle smile. This creature before her had completely captivated her. The fiery red hair was in soft curls that bounced aimlessly in the wind, as she moved her gaze down she noticed her eyes that were a dark crimson that seemed to be so deep she could get lost in them, her pale skin only seemed to make all her gorgeous features more appealing as she looked at the red haired vampires lips that were full and now in a wide grin that showed of her gleaming white teeth and fangs. She couldn't help it as her breath hitched when the vampire pulled her even closer.
"Hello love" The Red headed vampire purred seductively in Bella's ear "I'm Victoria, you must be Bella. It's such a pleasure to meet you."
Bella could feel the ghost of Victoria's breath on the shell of her ear and it only caused her to shudder as a sweet chill went up her spin. She didn't know why she was feeling this way but she did and it set her body in overdrive.
"T-The p-pleas-sure is all mine" Bella stuttered back as a blush crept up her neck and to her entire face as she looked Victoria in the eyes. She was trying to regain her composure while still remaining polite but she knew she was failing both at the moment. She didn't meant to say a polite you to but for some reason it came out that way and she honestly didn't understand what was going on with her mind a body at the moment.
Victoria smiled predatorily at Bella as she began to purr even more "Not yet it isn't" she purred sweetly out as she removed one of arms around Bella's waist to gently cup the young brunettes cheek and brush her thumb gently against "But soon it will be" she husked.
Bella could have sworn her heart was going to break free of her chest with how much her heart was pounding against her ribcage and honestly it wouldn't surprise her. Bella had to tighten her legs together as she felt her arousal growing and blush intensifying at Victoria's words and her actions.
Edward had never been this forward with her, if anything he would try to keep her at an arms distance when it came to being affectionate…
Then it hit her. OH GOD! EDWARD! He's going to hate her for this! Where was he? What happened to him? Was he alright? So many questions went through her mind and she tensed up.
Victoria on the other hand was utterly enamored by Bella, and couldn't get enough of the girl. As soon as the girls scent invaded her sense she knew the girl was her mate. She was so shocked and lost in the moment she didn't know what was going on until she heard her mates cry of pain. Then without any thought she had removed the threat by punching him in the face and causing him to fly off and then proceeded to protecting her beloved by keeping her close. She had finally found her mate and there was no way she was going to allow her to be harmed or let her go. After Centuries of being alone and roaming the earth she found her true love, her soul-mate and she was basking in the effects of the mating bond that called to her so immensely that she just allowed her instincts to do as it wished and wanted but as she noticed her mates body tense she became concerned.
Bella was now trying to wiggle out of Victoria's grip again "Please let me go! I have to go find Edward!" she pleaded as she looked to Victoria who only scowled and growled until she noticed Bella's distraught features.
Victoria felt her un-beating heart break at her mates pained expression and at the fact she wanted to leave her for another. Her inner beast was telling her to hold on to and never let go of Bella as well as to get rid of the possible threat that was Edward. Victoria's inner struggle showed on her face as her face contorted from anger, sorrow, rage, to distraught. Victoria opened her mouth to say something but was cut off as Bella looked her in the eyes with concern, worry and pain.
"Please Victoria" She pleaded with the red head as she looked at her intensely "I beg you"
Victoria felt her heart shatter. She didn't want to let go of her newly found mate, but if it made her happy she would. She would never want to hurt her love, even if it meant killing herself in the end so be it. So Victoria pushed all her emotions deep down and sighed in defeat "Okay…" and she released Bella from her grasp.
Bella looked at a pained Victoria one last time before looking around and noticing Edward not too far away and being held back by Emmet and Jasper. She took off towards them in a sprint, not even daring to look back as she kept going until she finally reached them.
"What's going on here?" Bella asked as she walked up to Edward who was growling loudly towards James. James was standing off to the side with Laurent beside him with his arms crossed over his chest while scowling towards Edward.
Once Edward heard Bella he stopped struggling to get out of Jasper and Emmet's hold and straighten himself up. "Bella, my love. Are you alright?" He questioned as he shook off Jasper and Emmet and sent them a quick glare and then headed up to Bella while looking her over. He encompassed her in almost suffocating embrace when he reached her and it caused her to gasp in shock and pain.
He was about to release her until he heard a loud warning growl beside him. He then tightened his hold on Bella causing her to wheeze as more air was being pushed out of her.
"Let her go! You're hurting her." Victoria ground out at Edward who only sent her a scowl.
"I would never hurt Bella, unlike you monsters!" He retorted back as he loosened his grip on Bella.
Bella inhaled some much needed air as Edward finally let go enough for her to breath easily again.
"I would never hurt Bella! I could never hurt my ma-!" Victoria exclaimed with rage until Edward cut her off.
"You are nothing but a murderer! You kill humans and I will not allow you to condemn Bella like you have already done so to yourself. She deserves better!" He spat with pure rage and disgust on his face towards Victoria.
Usually Victoria would retort back but as much as she hated to admit it his words struck her hard and rendered her speechless. She had killed many humans, she did so without guilt and easily. Now she was mated to a human, a beautiful and lovely human, but a human none the less. Did she deserve better than her?
Victoria looked at Edward who held a smug smile on his face from her lack of comeback as he wrapped his arms around Bella's waist and pulled her closer to him. Her gaze fell on Bella who met her gaze and they seemed to be caught in each other's until Edward tightened his grasp on Bella. That broke the spell and Bella looked away from her and to the ground with a defeated look.
Victoria opened her mouth about to beg her mate to look at her, to see if she believed what Edward was saying was true and if she felt that way but she never got the chance as she was cut off again.
"I think you should leave, you and your coven have caused enough problems already." Edward said while placing a tender kiss on top of Bella's head. "MY MATE, and my family were having a wonderful time out before all this happened." He glared towards Victoria and her coven mates.
Victoria couldn't help looking pleadingly at Bella who kept her gaze to the ground. Please! Please look at me! She begged internally. She felt as if her whole being was slowly being torn apart, cell by cell. It was excruciating.
Meanwhile Bella was debating and fighting with herself. Bella always thought her and Edward were meant for each other, that they were soul-mates. That they would have an eternity together and live happily ever after but as soon as her eyes landed on Victoria her dreams seem to tear apart from the seams. It didn't make any sense, none at all. She didn't know this woman, she didn't like women, right? Now she was questioning her sexuality and it only made matters worse as she was in the arms of her supposed love of her life.
She and Edward had gone through so much together, she couldn't throw that away just because of some stranger that made her feel things not even Edward had. Edward had also done so much for her, he was even protecting her right as this moment, but why did it not feel right to her. Merely a few hours ago she would have loved to be in the position she was in now, but at the moment she couldn't help but want to be as far away as possible from Edward and in the arms of Victoria, and it didn't make any sense to her at all.
Her brain and her heart were in an epic war against one another that was causing her mind to swirl and her heart to slowly break. She couldn't face Victoria, not with everything that was going on in her head. She was with Edward and she needed to stay true to him. At least that's what her head was telling her, so she didn't meet the red heads gaze. If she was being true to her heart though she would have leapt to Victoria but she wasn't and if she saw the way Victoria was looking at her now, she probably wouldn't have given It a second thought and comforted Victoria, but she didn't look at the red head.
Bella closed her eyes tightly as she felt her heart wrench and twist tightly as she snuggled into Edward.
Victoria let out a pained whimper at the sight and was pulled back by James who was leading her away from them.
Edward only smiled even more smugly at Victoria's whimper and retreating form.
"You know this is wrong!" called out James as he picked up Victoria's now limp body "She belongs with Vic-!"
He was cut off as Edward growled "She belongs with me! She is MY mate!"
James only growled back as he held Victoria in his arms bridal style "This isn't over! I swear to you, this isn't over!" He then disappeared into the forest with Victoria.
Laurent quickly moved to Carlisle from his previous spot and held out his hand "It was nice seeing you while we did, I apologize for my friends. They are just doing what they believe is right." He said with a sad smile as he looked at all the Cullen's.
Edward just scoffed but Carlisle shook Laurent's hand "It is alright, I hope the next time we meet it is on much better terms." Carlisle said with disappointment in his voice as well.
"Me too." Laurent replied before he disappeared into the forest to go after his companions.
The Cullen coven was alone once again and it was silent but that didn't last long.
"Well that was awkward!" Emmet bellowed and laughed.
Rosalie just glared at him and then smacked him on the back of the head "Shut up you idiot." She said to him before taking his hand and speeding away with him.
Bella finally looked up to see a blur of Rosalie and Emmet as they ran away from them.
"Well you probably want some alone time" Carlisle said as he grabbed Esme's hand "We will see you both back at the house whenever you are ready to return." Carlisle and Esme then zoomed away in the direction Rosalie and Emmet had left, leaving Alice, Jasper, Edward and Bella alone.
As Bella opened her eyes she found herself looking for a particular red head, and her heart contorting in sorrow and longing when she was nowhere to be found.
Jasper's body tensed as Bella's intense emotions filled him. He knew what this pain was, it was the pull to the strongest bond known to all of vampire kind. He knew it well as he felt it when he had separated from Alice for a few days after they first met. He had forgotten what it was like until now and it was completely unbearable.
Alice noticed her mate going rigid and quickly entwined her hand with his and smiled when she saw him visibly relax. Alice had seen this all happen in her vision, she had even seen more than just what would happen today but her visions could change. She was hoping they would all come true though, but even if they did there was definitely going to be a big struggle ahead. One she hoped like what she saw in her visions, would be worth it in the end.
"Edward" Alice began but was shut down as her bronze hair brother growled menacingly at her.
"You're wrong Alice." He snarled "You know your visions can be subjective and misleading"
Alice was deeply offended and hurt by her brother's words. She knew it could be true but he wouldn't admit she was right about what happened today and he was withholding the truth from Bella, the one person who deserved to know.
"You know she deserves to-"Once again he cut her off with a loud warning growl.
"Its none of your business Alice!" Her snarled even more as he bared his fangs at her.
Jasper had had enough of Edwards disrespect towards his mate "You will not talk to my mate like that, or you may not have the ability to talk at all if you catch my drift, Brother." Jasper spat the last word vehemently in his southern drawl towards Edward while sending him a deep glare and scowling at him.
Jasper held onto Alice's hand tighter as he turned away from Edward and looked into his mates eyes "Let's go darlin." He said softly as he gave a small peck on the cheek.
Alice giggled until she looked at Bella and saw the pained expression on her face and confusion in her eyes. "We'll see you later Bella" she sadly smiled at her best friend who only nodded back.
Alice disappeared with Jasper not a moment later, leaving just her and Edward alone.
Edward scoffed at Alice and Jaspers last words.
Bella looked to Edward to find him looking at her with that crooked smile that used to make her knee's weak, her stomach fill with butterflies and her heart stutter. Now though it made her feel nauseas and uncomfortable. She couldn't help but wonder why she fell for that in the first place.
"Are you alright my love? Did that monster hurt you?" He asked her with a gentle and concerned look in his eyes as he looked her over.
Bella had to stop herself as she almost screamed at him to never call Victoria a monster ever again but restrained herself and only nodded her head. "Yes, Victoria" she emphasized her name "Didn't hurt me at all." If she thought about it, Victoria was nothing but gentle and never suffocated her like Edward would. Even if he may not have meant to, he sometimes would hold onto her so tightly it would leave a bruise and cause her pain or discomfort.
Edward quirked his eyebrow curiously at her reply but then schooled his features. "I'm just glad you're safe. Next time though I think it would be better if you stayed closer to me so I can protect you. I wouldn't want anything to happen to you." He smiled widely at her, flashing her his pearly whites.
That smile used to dazzle her, and make her heart skip a beat. She couldn't help but think of how much it bothered her now though. Did he use to do that to her to get her to comply with him before? For some reason she couldn't help but feel angry towards him. She was as close as possible to him before but he was saying she should have been closer? Did he always say stuff like this and make it seem like it was her fault?
She was so lost in her thoughts she forgot to respond to him.
"Love?" He question softly as he tucked a stray hair behind her ear. "Are you sure you are alright?"
At his touch she flinched and that didn't go unnoticed by him. She needed to come up with a good reason for her zoning out and flinching or he was going to push her on it. If was remembered correctly that's what he always did and she wasn't sure she wanted to tell him her thoughts at the moment or even her feelings.
"I'm sorry, I'm just still shaken up from everything that happened earlier. It all happened so fast." She sighed. She was hoping he would take that answer and with the way his body relaxed and his crooked smile returned she knew he bought it.
"It's alright love, its been a taxing day. How about I take you home?" He smiled as he grabbed her hand and entwined their fingers.
"Thank you, that would be wonderful" Bella said with a forced smile as she cuddled into Edwards side. It felt so wrong being close to him but she was going to have to think everything over once she was home and far away enough from Edward to think clearly.
Meanwhile in the forest not too far from the retreating Bella and Edward a pair of red eyes followed their movements silently until disappearing completely into the woods.
