Bella's visiting again and Rose and I find ourselves outside in the garage. I know she will be a part of my family it has been decided but I still find it hard to be around her, this is something Rose and I have bonded over although we have very different reasons. Rose is irritated right now she does a good job hiding her jealously and anger at our existence most of the time but when Bella's around it comes through. "Would you like me to help you calm down" "no, but could we go somewhere private and talk, I know you feel what I feel but I'd like to explain it" I agree but honestly I'm scared I don't know what voice she'll give to her feelings. We run through the woods into Canada, Rose seems to like the mountainous regions better. We sit high in the mountain side dressed only in our designer jeans and long sleeve shirts the cold air and wet snow does not affect our bodies. "I know you know I'm jealous but let me explain…" she takes several deep breaths although we don't need to breathe "thank you for not telling Edward how I feel" "I would never betray you like that Rose, after all you are my twin" I smile at Rose we do have this commonality between us our family enjoys their existence. We struggle with it Rose because she hates that she's no longer one of them and well I'd like to drink from them. "I've always been the desired one in this life and the last although I never wanted Edward I expected him to want me, but he didn't and I was ok with that until a weak human made my brother weak. She tempts him like no other has for any of us and she puts us all in danger I can't overlook that. Emmett is my everything he is what makes being this bearable. Even he accepts her as his sister what if he gets carried away and grabs her too quickly, her neck snaps or anything, everything. She could destroy our family." I take my time I can't argue with anything Rose said she speaks the truth but she doesn't give Bella any credit either. "Rose, do you remember the night she came to dinner?" "How could I forget?" Rose scoffs "it's what started all this James, Victoria, everything goes back to that night" "When I entered the house, that was the first time I absorbed Bella's emotions, I understood how Edward felt he loves her as deeply as any vampire loves, the thirst is the only thing stronger, Carlisle loves Esme purely he craves her as she does him. Emmett loves you as if you gave him the world he embraces this life, you love him as though he is everything he gave you what was lost, Alice just always knew I was her mate she loves but it's just a part of her, I love her because she saved me and made everything right. If you combine all that loves it comes close to what she feels for Edward. Bella loves Edward completely and not just because she has no thirst, she's the first human I felt the same level of emotion from she loves him, is in awe of him, he is her salvation in the same way Alice is mine. The way Emmett is yours. I swear to you dear sister, she will not harm our family in the end she'll make us stronger." Rose contemplates this for some time. "So you think I'm just being a bitch" "Not at all Rose everything you say is true, and valid. It's just I can feel the things we can't yet see. You are the fiercest of us all and once she earns your loyalty as I know she will, it will all be forgotten after all what's a year or two of dislike in eternity." We laugh and hunt because let's face it I have a hard enough time resisting Bella's blood on my own without Edwards feelings.
