Chapter One: Family Secrets
Bella POV:
Awhile ago I gave up my normal human life for a life so wonderful I wouldn't want to trade it for anything. I, of course, wouldn't have this beautiful life without my amazing vampire husband, Edward. Thanks to him I can spend forever with my new family, amazing husband, and beautiful daughter. Oh, and Jacob. I almost forgot he's now stuck with us for eternity.
Renesmee was sitting in the kitchen with Jacob eating her breakfast, while Edward and I sat in the living room waiting on Charlie's visit. It was all too easy to pick up on the nervous tone in my father's voice when he called that morning asking to come over. That plus the fact he had something to tell Edward and I had me on edge as time drew closer.
"Bella, everything is going to be alright," Edward whispered in my ear. His voice, that always seemed to soothe me, didn't sway my nerves a smidge.
"How are you so sure," I demanded in a whisper just as the TV popped on and turned to Nessie's favorite show before she even entered the room. Her gifts seemed to multiply as time goes by, but to her it was as natural as breathing. Her growth had seemed to slow for now as my two years-old baby was now looking eight years-old.
"Because we can handle anything," he whispered back with a chuckle.
I took an unneeded deep breath and felt Edward stiffen at my side. "What's wrong?"
Edward stared ahead while he answered. "Charlie's bringing two guest. I can't read their minds, but from what I'm getting from Charlie, they have a lot to do with what he has to tell us."
"What does he have to tell us," I asked worried.
"He's being careful not to think about that," Edward said looking towards the driveway. "His mind just disappeared."
"What," I demand shooting up from the sofa.
"He's okay," Edward assured me with a look of concern on his face. "It's just like his mind has been shielded. They are turning in now."
Soon Charlie's cruiser pulled up in front of the house. I walked over to the front door with Edward following me. Before Charlie had the chance to knock, I had the door open and welcomed him inside as I took in the sight of the two women with him.
The older lady was still quite young looking and bared a striking resemblance to my grandma Swan. She had deep raven locks that matched the color of the young girl with her. The girl had the prettiest black curls that resembled those of Nessie and even seemed to have hints of the bronze color in them while her eyes were a beautiful hazel. While I watched her, I could see a sense of nervousness set in and her eyes change to a bright emerald green. The same green I pictured Edward had before he became a vampire. She was so beautiful and I couldn't take my eyes off her.
"Hey, Dad, what's up?" I managed to get the words from my lips as he walked inside followed by the two women. "Who are your friends?"
My dad seemed to become more nervous after that question, but he managed to whisper, "Bella, can we talk to you, Edward, and Carlisle in private?"
I heard Carlisle appear at the bottom of the stairs and answer my father's question for me. "Of course, Charlie. Right this way."
Edward and I picked up the rear as Carlisle lead us all to his study. This gave Edward the chance to voice what he experienced with me. "Did you experience the same thing I did," he asked quietly.
"Feeling as if I know that girl," I asked back quickly.
"Yes," he responded as we reached the door to the study.
Everyone except Edward, the girl, and I found a seat while we stood against the wall facing everyone else. "Mrs. Cullen, would you like to sit down," the young girl spoke while indicating to the remaining empty chair.
"No, thank you though for asking, but you can have the seat seeing as you are a guest," I reply and she gives me a small nod as she voiced a thank-you.
"Carlisle, it's good to see you again," the older woman stated breaking the silence.
"You as well, Amelia," Carlisle said happily to the older woman. "It's been what, a good century?"
"Yes, I saw you last before you moved to Chicago and found your son there. It's been way too long," Amelia said with a smile. "And now we're in-laws." She laughed a small laugh and looked over to me.
"I didn't know you were related to Bella," Carlisle said with slight amusement. I looked to my father for an answer, but he kept his eyes down.
"Yes, my son married and had Helen with a human, who in turn married and had Charles with a human. Then Bella was born to Charles and the half-witch Renee," what I'm assuming was my great, great grandmother informed Carlisle.
"Excuse me," I said looking at the woman, "you said human as if you are not one."
"I'm not. Well not exactly," she answered, "I'm immortal, but in a different way than you."
What was this lady thinking?! She practically just signed my father's death warrant for him. He couldn't know about this stuff at all. Our need-to-know basis had been working and kept him in our lives. I couldn't let him find out. Not only will he be in danger, he'll not want to be around any of us. In a desperate attempt to keep my father in the dark and spare him the fact his daughter was one of the figures of nightmares I spoke, "Dad why don't you go downstairs and see Nessie while we finish this talk up here?"
"I know what you are Bella, and I know why you're scared about me knowing, but you don't have to be. My knowledge of your world stems from stories passed down," Charlie stated. "I suspected what the Cullens were from day one, but I always thought the stories were just stories. Then you changed and had Nessie who's different, and I was forced to see that the stories were true."
"He is part of the royal family in the supernatural world. I am a witch. Neither you, nor your father have been able to perform magic due to small amounts of magical genes in your DNA. With so few it made the magic weak and unable to be developed," Amelia explained while watching for my reaction. "Though you kept some family traits. Your mental shield is proof of that.
"I'm sure you've noticed that your daughter has had extreme development in her gifts and even gained a few. As I'm sure you're aware of, vampirism enhances a lot of things including emotions and skills that may cause a special gift like your husbands telepathy. The vampire side of your daughter enhanced the magic genes that you passed down to her enough for her to be able to practice and developed her magic. I believe that you becoming a vampire might have done the same for the magic genes you possess. It could prove to be quite a handy gift. It might even help you have another child or be able to gift the ability to have children onto the members of your family."
I look at Amelia stunned and heard a small, sad sigh. My eyes darted to see the young girl staring out the back wall with sad, tear-brimmed eyes that had again magically changed color to a beautiful chocolate brown. Though I was still stunned by her beauty, her sadness broke my heart.
Edward stiffened next to me and the girl's eye met his with a pleading glance. I saw Edward give a slight nod from the corner of my eye just as Carlisle asked her, "Pardon me miss, but may I ask who you are?"
She held back the tears that were so close to falling and forced a smile before she turned to Carlisle. "I am the next queen of our world. I cannot tell you my name or my parentage because it may affect some of the decisions you are yet to make. Though if you're really curious I'm sure that Alice can explain everything to you once the time is right," the young girl answered with such regality in her voice that it was obvious without her words that she was some kind of royalty. "I am here as a part of my royal trials. Certain events have happened in my life recently that have made it necessary for me to go back through time to learn from the previous queens during their reigns and handling situations in a queenly manner. I apologize I tend to babble when I'm nervous. Grandma, it seems I still have a lot to learn sometime else."
"Of course dear," Amelia said with a smile.
"Goodbye, everyone, it was nice meeting you," the girl said and within an instant she was gone, but I had a feeling I would see her again soon.
The meeting ended with Amelia leaving in the same fashion as the young girl and Charlie leaving to meet Sue at the Lodge. After the meeting I couldn't help but think about the information I gained. My daughter and I are witches, and I can help my family and myself to have more children. I look down at the book of spells Amelia left with me. My mind is made up and I have to talk to Rosalie.
AN: And that is the revised version of chapter one. There weren't too many changes, but there were some. I know I may have missed a few things grammar wise and maybe a few things to help it be understood better. I don't believe I'm through editing the story in any way, but I hope to get it all as close to perfect soon. I hope you enjoyed the first chapter and I invite you to check out the next chapter. Until next time guys... SuperBat5795
