Gabriella, Ella for short, Edward's fiancé stood outside her castle. After Bella left Edward for Jacob, Edward was heart broken and found a kindred spirit in Ella. They became fast friends and unexpectedly fell in love. A few days ago Edward proposed so she decided to show her new family her secret. She is a sorceress, but, she thought to herself, why not use this time and opportunity to get back at Emmett. She shivered at the thought. Emmett was going to pay for making her believe Edward was dead. She was a skilled magician so she knew she could pull it off. She was going to make her castle haunted.

"Sebastian! How are the preparations coming." Ella inquired as she walked into the kitchen.

"Very well my lady. The servants have found lodging in the village, the cameras are all in place and enchanted to make no noise, the control room and hiding place are all ready for use, the props are in place, and story is memorized and well rehearsed by everyone involved." Sebastian, the head butler replied.

"Are the rooms and living accommodations ready? The Cullens, Bella and Jacob will be arriving in an hour." Ella further inquired, hoping everything was going to go well. Bella and Jacob are now considered part of the family. After Edward found his true soul mate in Ella, he forgave Bella and the rest of the family followed his example. They were now considered part of the family, much to Rosalie's unhappiness, due to Bella's efforts to make them get along.

"Yes the room's are all spotless and fitted with new linens, the fridge is stocked with food for you, Bella, and Jacob, and the gardens are taken care of." Sebastian replied.

"Good then it is time to head out to the airport."

~~~at the airport~~~

"Over hear!" Ella exclaimed when she saw the Cullens, Bella and Jacob walk through the gate. Alice came bouncing toward her.

"Oh my god! This is going to be so much fun." Alice exclaimed as she threw her arms around Ella. "I can't wait to see your castle."

Ella laughed, "Good to see you too Alice." The Bella, Esme and Rosalie finally came into view followed by, what looked like, giant piles of suitcases. "Good to see you all. I'm assuming that all of our men are behind those suitcases and that is why I'm not getting a hello kiss from my fiancé."

"You guessed right, but don't worry you will get plenty of time once we get to the cars and the suitcases make their way into the trunks." Alice laughed as she pushed Ella out of the airport. Out side were parked 2 limos.

"Okay so Jacob, Bella, Alice, Jasper, Edward and I are in the first limo and Esme, Carlisle, Rosalie, and Emmett can ride in the second." Ella explained as the drivers of the limos put the Cullen's and Black's luggage into the trunks of the cars.

"Why don't I get to ride in Ella's limo!" Emmett exclaimed as he grabbed Ella into a hug, successfully lifting her off her feet. "Ella you want me to ride with you right?" Emmett whined.

"Sorry Emmett your to big." Ella explained as Rosalie hit Emmett upside the head muttering, "Don't be suck a baby." Emmett pouted and sulkily got into the second limo. Ella and the rest of the Cullens followed suit and they were off to the castle.

~~~at the castle~~~

The limos pulled up to an old castle. The castle was obviously a remodel of a medieval original. Stone walls surrounded the entire area complete with gargoyles and archer's niches. The drawbridge was slowly lowered over the ancient moat, ancient clanks creaking with the effort, as the bridge came to a halt with a dull thump. The limos proceeded to drive into the courtyard and the ancient wood creaked, strained. at the weight. The limos continued through the iron gate and into a large courtyard, were they came to a halt on the uneven, cobble stone flooring. The court yard, obviously meant for carriages and horses, was quite large and led to the castle itself, which rose with it's towers and turrets into the heavens. Statues adorned the space, of Kings, Queens, Lords, and Ladies long gone. Along the front of the castle, hedges grew, meeting at the far right of the area in an archway, which led into the gardens. Bella and Jacob stared wide eyed at the splendor, both of them unused to such riches. The only thing, that they've seen, that even came close to this is the Cullen house. Rosalie and Alice got straight to work loading up the Cullen boys with their suitcases, so the limos could be off. Esme and Ella were in deep conversation on the designs, landscaping, design, and remodeling of the castle.

"You own this!" Bella exclaimed, "It must be so expensive! wow you really have a lot of money. and I thought the Cullens were rich."

"Actually I didn't pay a cent to acquire this castle. It has been in my family for generations. One of my ancestors bought it during the roaring 20s. I only paid for the remodeling, I had to bring in indoor plumbing and electricity, and the staff who work here." Ella laughed.

"Staff? Where is this staff?" Emmett inquired.

"The staff live in the village. It is almost sunset so I'd imagine they have already gone home. The only one here should be my butler Sebastian, and he will leave as soon as we are settled into our rooms." Ella explained.

"Why don't the staff just live here?" Bella asked, her voice full of curiosity.

"I did offer them lodging in the castle, but they refused. They said something about this place being evil and haunted." Ella replied with a puzzled expression.

"Haunted! Awesome! Let's get inside cause I ain't afraid of no ghost!" Emmett exclaimed running toward the door, his hands full of suitcases, as the rest followed, Bella holding onto Alice to make sure she doesn't fall.

"Welcome back my Lady. The rooms are all ready. Who you like me to show you to them?" Sebastian asked, bowing.

"Everyone this is Sebastian, my head butler. And yes Sebastian that would be great. After words I would like you to heat up the food and set the table. After that is done you may leave for the day." Sebastian led the party up the stairs and into a beautiful, red carpeted, hallway. "These will be our rooms for the duration of the stay. The big double doors at the end of the hall lead to my quarters, which I will of course share with Edward. The doors on the left side of the hall lead to the following rooms. Starting with those closest to us: Library, Carlisle and Esmes's room, and Bella and Jacob's room. The left hall is as follows, starting with the door closest to us, Rosalie and Emmett's room, Alice and Jasper's room, and finally the office. The kitchen is down the stairs to your right. So lets all settle in." Sebastian turned around and disappeared around the corner, while everyone else took their suitcases and marched into their assigned rooms to settle in.
