Hey this idea occurred to me so I wrote it. This story will be a shorter story like a little over 10k words unless something occurs to be or you have an idea so here goes nothing.
Disclaimer, I own nothing but the small twist in plot.
A Name is Just a Name.
Chapter one: My boys, and their Bella.
I sat on the tree limb, my right leg of the branch, my left leg folded to my chest. The tree was right inside the borderline. I watches my sons played in the clearing. Having competitions to see who could phase faster. Jacob was winning. While in wolf form Sam lift up his nose. He phased back.
"Bella's at the border." He grabbed his pants off a rock near by. Bella? Who is Bella? I slid from sitting down, to standing up. The motion was fluid. To my son's it would signal what I am. For this reason I check my shield. It was still blocking my sent, and myself from view. My sons were on the move. I followed them staying high in the trees. The younger boy, Seth, started joking around. I smiled but Sam snapped at him.
"Hey. I said Bella was here, I didn't say alone," Sam looked over at them with a strong glare. "Edward is with her."
"Why?" Seth asked startled. Edward? Who are these people? Could there be more shape shifters. I checked my shield again, this time adding a mantel block. I don't know why but it made me feel safer. I was know complete invisible to everyone.
"Do I look like I know?" Sam snapped again.
"Is anyone else?" Jacob asked.
"Are they inside the line?" Paul asked looking for a fight. Embry and Quil looked at each other nervously.
"No." Sam's reapply was brief.
"Jacob," Jerrod asked. "Was Bella, supposed to be coming today? Did she call or anything?"
"Not that I know of, but I haven't been home all day. " What danger had my sons so worried?
"Well its not doing any good just talking about it, do some want to phase?" Seth asked.
"Why doesn't everybody but Jacob, and Seth phase?" Jerrod asked.
"Sounds good," Jacob said, and everyone else nodded in agreement. They continued their walk to the boundary line. Six wolves, and two boys. The walk was quiet. When we got to the boundary line All the boys stopped. I looked where they were looking. On the other side of the line, was a young girl, and a young…vampire? There where more vampires here? How many? I haven't had my shield up all day, what if they found me?
"Jacob." The young vampire said politely.
"Blood sucker." Jacob said coolly.
"Jake," the young girl whined.
"Bella," Jacob whined back. The human girl, Bella was trying to stay angry, but failed. She laughed as she ran up to Jacob and gave him a hug.
"Hi Seth," She said giving Seth a hug to.
"Hey Bella. Hey Edward." Seth hugged Bella back.
"Hello Seth." This hello from Edward was much more genuine then the one he gave Jacob. Bella then crossed the boundary line back to Edward. "We need to talk."
"Yes?" Jacob asked. It was obvious he loved Bella, and hated that she stood with Edward.
"Another vampire is in Forks," Edward said. "No Sam, I don't think its hostile. No that's why I wanted to talk to you."
"Edward?" Bella asked.
"Sam wanted to know first if he was hostile and if we know where it might be and what its after." Edward explained, how would he know?
"Okay, do you think this ones after Bella?" Jacob asked. "Because if so she's going to have to go into whiteness protection or something. First James, then the one from the meadow, then the red-headed one, next the one in her room, which may or may not be part of an army bent on destroying her, and now this one?"
"Jacob, maybe you should listen to what Edward is trying to say first," Seth suggested.
"Yes Jerrod, this is more then a warning visit." Edward pulled a shirt I had dropped yesterday out of a bag. I thought I had lost it at the hotel. Guess not. He three the shirt across the boundary line. "Smell."
"It smells like…us? Like a vampire that's been in her, like Bella sometimes." Jacob said. "With out Bella's signature sent." He passed the shirt around.
"That vampire has been inside La Push, so why didn't you know?" Edward asked barely concealing his anger.
"Smell," Sam phased back, and was standing there, in anger all decency forgotten. Bella buried her face in Edwards chest. Jacob look confused for a second then turned to the speaking Sam. "Smell." Sam repeated. The shocked Edward, did as instructed.
"I don't smell anything." Edwards was shocked even more. "He could have gotten in anywhere.
"So run the beach, go ahead I give you permission, go tell me if you find a scent." Sam still had not acknowledged the fact he was naked. Edward began to move Bella to his back. "Not leave her, to make sure you come back." Edward kissed Bella's forehead and ran off. Bella stood with her back towards Sam. "What are we not good enough for you when Edward's here?" Sam asked still angry.
"Sam your-" Seth started but Sam cut him off by reaching toward Bella.
"Are we not good enough for you?" He asked again standing only feet from Bella. He was shaking. No, I slid down the tree and stood next to Bella.
"No Sam that's not-" Sam cut her off be beginning to phase. This girl meant the would to Jacob. I threw my shield around her.
"BELLA!" Jacob cried. My shield surrounded her into to block her from Sam's claws. Bella screamed in her as the claws came toward her. I grunted as the claws pushed against my shield. "BELLA!" Jacob screamed again. "Where did she go." Bella looked around and open her mouth to speak. I placed my hand over her mouth. She looked at me with wild eyes.
"Shhh. I was never here. He missed you." Bella nodded in agreement. "I will come explain later." I stepped back. Bella pulled a piece of paper and wrote something in untidy scrawl. I grabbed it and pulled my shield back, become invisible to her again and climbed back up the tree I had been in before.
"Bella," Jacob yelled as he ran over and gave her a hug. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah," Bella said in concentration. "I…I…tripped and saw him phase and I got scarred, I thought he was going to hit me. I….. rolled into the bushes, which is why you couldn't see me." Bella explained. The pack miss took her bad ling for fear.
"Bella," another voice came from the trees. Edward ran up and grabbed her. "Bella, what's wrong? I heard Jacob yelling and you screaming."
"Er…." Bella just looked into his overly concerned eyes. She looked down and blushed. "I fell. Into the bushes. Jacob couldn't see me, and I didn't know where I tripped. I had screamed because I got scarred. It's fine Jacob took care of it." Edward took her at her word.
"Thank you." He looked at Jacob when he said this. Then he turned to where Sam had been. I guess I didn't see him leave. "Tell Sam, I am sorry. I didn't find anything. I have to hunt tonight, can you guys watch Bella, until I get there in the morning?"
"Don't be insulting, we have it covered." Bella gave Jacob a hug and then left. I took one look at the pack, and followed.

I followed the car for miles, until we reached a grand house. While checking my shield I followed them inside the door. I the ran to get the door before Edward could shut it. I got caught in the door, it slammed into me a few times, Edward got a little upset, and even as a vampire this was starting to hurt me, threw my shield. I thrust my shield out word sending Edward tumbling back and I walked in the door letting it shut behind me. Six sets of vampire foot steps rushed down the stairs a came to where Edward was laying on the floor.
"Did Bella rub of on you Edward?" One of them asked with bulging muscles he lift Edward off the floor. A beautiful blond girl slapped the brawny one over the head. They must be mates.
"Son?" Of one the others asked. He looked like Zeus. Is something the matter.
"Did the wolves know anything?" A girl who reminded me of a Dracula movie said. I followed he arm to her hand, which held that of Zeus.
"No." A girl said. She was short, fun-sized if you will.
"How can we fight an enemy we know nothing about?" The last boy asked. I didn't have to look the know his mate, was the short girl.
"We don't." Bella said. Everyone looked at her shocked. "We just wait, things will explain themselves." I let out a bark of laughter. Seven heads whipped to the sound. Bella turn to the sound slower. She mimicked opening a note. And mouthed go. I knew I should, but how do I get out. I though about it, then moved myself to the stop of the stairs. I threw my shield out hard it knocked over everybody, minus Bella, who it surrounded, and shattered all the windows on the bottom floor. I grabbed my shield back, tightening it to keep my scent blocked, and myself from being seen and left the house. I started back for the road, dropping a couple hundreds on the ground. I couldn't leave with out paying. I found a rock scratch E&B&C&CO in it and left that on top of the money, and laid a piece of glass on top of that. I opened my shield to Bella, pointed to the ground and left.
I got all the way back to the highway before I opened the note.
House 1997 731 road
I'm the 13th window, from right, starting at the front one.
Edward's hunting, tonight. 10:31. Do not go in the room with a dead Lily at the window. This one is my fathers, I suppose you could but he has a James gun.
Bella.
Looks like I have some time to kill, so I went the forest and hunted.
U
At ten thirty I went around the house and counted until I was on the second floor. Thirteenth window. I looked down, and saw the wolves, My shield rippled like an invisible cloak. I creaked open the window, and crawled in. A small for on the bed was sitting their straining to see then the darkness.
"Who's there?" She whispered. I shut the widow quietly. "Who's there?"
"Me." I spoke.
"Who's me?"
"I would tell you my name but you still wouldn't know." I joked. Know one knew my name.
"Ok then, what's me?" She asked. I walked over and turned on her light.
"Me is a vampire." I said. I manipulated my physical shield so that it would show me.
"Oh your me," She said.
"No your you, I'm me," I said smiling.
"What is your name?" She asked.
"I have many," I said, frowning slightly.
"What one can I call you?"
"How close are you to the pack?" I asked in return.
"Pretty close. There like brothers, when there behaving," She smiled. "I love them. Just not they way Jake wants me to."
"So how about, we just stick with hey you." Bella smiled at me. I sat down on her bed. "I'm sure you have questions." She nodded. "Well?"
"Well what?"
"Ask them," I giggled. I felt so alive lately. I don't know if it was being around the pack, or that this was the first time I had talked to someone in forever.
"Did you leave the money at the Cullens house?" She asked.
"Cullens?" I asked.
"Yes, the vampires that we were with."
"Oh I did," Slowly I was gathering information about the other vampires.
"Why can't the Cullens, or the pack find you?" This was a good question. I was reluctant to answer but I did promise her answers.
"I'm a lot like you," I started. "I too have a shield, it protects me it hides my sent, or my body completely. It can sort of hide my mind, but unlike your shield I have to work for it. I can hide/protect/make invisible, some on else when there under my shield, and I can sense there powers when there under my shield as well. It sounds like a lot but its really not."
"Ok," She nodded. "Why are you here?"
"Its funny I would have though you'd ask it I was going to eat you." I said choosing not to answer her question. I promised her answers but not all of them.
"Your eyes have the exact shade of liquid gold the Cullens do," She explained. "You eat animals rather then humans. Believe me if I though you were going to drink my blood, I would have given you the wrong address." I laughed, hard.
"Tell me about the Cullens," I ordered. So she did, she told me about their personalities, what their lives are like, her and Edward's relationship. When she finished the last one she looked like she might cry. I let my shield completely down, so I could hug her. I did. I just sat there rocking back and forth murmuring into her ear to rid her of her insecurities. It was getting late, and I was so focus on Bella I didn't here the window open.
"Bella!" Edward yelled sinking into a crouch. Reflectively I stood and did the same, leaving Bella gently on her bed. I stopped, then stood, I focus for a second and complete erased my self in my shield. "Shit."
"Edward?" Bella asked.
"Yes love?" He said looking around the room a he moved toward her bed. Yeah I was going to attack him, and have his family come and attack me, no.
"What are you doing?"
"Protecting you."
"From the pillows?"
"From the vampire."
"I must have fallen asleep, didn't realize she hadn't left yet." Bella yawned. "It not like she was going to do anything."
"She can turn invisible she is unpredictable," Edward said still looking about the room.
"If you attack her, you'll be a fool, and I didn't agree to marry a fool." Bella was stubborn.
"Fine," He went and sat down next to her. "But I don't like it."
"You don't like a lot of things." She yawned again, and went back to sleep. I excused myself to the open window.
