And it is back!

IMPORTANT IF YOU'RE GOING TO READ THIS FANFIC: This is a fanfiction, obviously, so the characters does not have to be exactly like in the twilight series (though the vamps look like they do in twilight). Neither is there going to be any long notes like this one, unless I have to say something important o.o

This is also a rewrite of my original QOTV. I really saw it necessary when I went through it yesterday, I mean, my English sucked like hell (sure I was 15 and I'm from Norway) but I know that it's much better now, haha, kinda obvious (almost 20 now). But still I am apologizing for any grammar mistakes that might occur beforehand. So you do know I am aware.

I hope that you as a reader will like this fanfic and if you read my original QOTV I hope you will like this version much more (I sure do). I'm almost finished as well so no abandoning and super slow writing, I am motivated ;) But I was thinking along a weekly update so I can go through the chapter at least once before posting.

You might find this version different from the original one, and I'm just saying, it was needed! Also if you have not read the original QOTV I recommend to never do it either. For those who have, you might realize in the start that some few things are more or less the same, but from chap2/3 it will head its own way.

Also my previous penname was twilightamanda, just saying this now, so no confusion, I've switched, and I'm not saying it again, lol. It is still stuck on the bottom on some of my stories.

Anyway, Enjoy!

Chapter 1:

Bella's POV

I am the leader of the Volturi. The Queen of Vampires. Isabella Marie Volturi.

My father's name is Aro and my mother's name is Sulpicia. I was changed before them – when I was eighteen – however I always followed them from the shadows. You might not think that is possible for a newborn vampire. Nevertheless, I could. I was immune to human blood from the very beginning.

I know I am the chosen one, which means I have every power possible for a vampire to have. I can eat my favorite human food, as well as that I live on animal blood. The human food changes into venom. Quite handy, or so I think. But the best part is my mental and physical shield that, well, shields me at all times. And if I want to move them, especially the mental one, it takes effort. While my physical shield is laying just above my skin, so I cannot be destroyed.

So I watched my parents, either close to our old home, or from Volterra. However, everything really began a day that started with fire.

My uncles, Caius and Marcus was visiting with their wives – my aunts – Athenodora and Didyme. A fire had started in the kitchen, and I noticed too late. When I managed to get them all out, I could only save them by changing them. Which I did. I bit them and teleported back to the castle in Volterra.

To say the least I was glad that I was already in charge and had my own guard when I arrived. If not I might have ended up in trouble. Then three days later, I removed their thirst and made them immune to human blood as well. They practically skipped the newborn stage. My father had gray eyes instead of red; while his brothers both had green instead of red (genes are a funny thing).

My father and I came to a disagreement. He wanted me to stay as a princess when I was already the Queen, while him and Marcus and Caius took over as Kings. I did share my spot, but I did not waver. I would not hide in the background, behind my father. It also helped that I'm fairly strong – stronger than them – so they didn't exactly want to get killed.

All in all we're four rulers of the vampire race, even though I'm the one that has been on most missions. It is easier, but boring. Having so many powers, being able to kill someone with just a flick of your fingers. My physical shield could wrap around a person – vampire – and then I could move it so that person was ripped into pieces within seconds.

I sighed. It was a day like this I wished I could die. A day when everything you saw was utterly horrible. But the worst was the bodies of the immortal children, burning. For the first time I really understood why my father meant that all the immortal children had to be destroyed. They were never in control, and they would never be, though at the same time that is a lie. I could take away their bloodlust, make them control their thirst, but what life would that be? They have to die along with their creator, so other vampires learn and do not dare to do the same. Adorable, cute – I could go on – children should not be changed. At all. They should have a chance to grow up and live their lives.

My only question to the creators: Why? Why did you do it?

And to this female vampire in question the answer was easily found in her head. She wanted to destroy the Volturi. Gain power. She thought that creating an army of immortal children would help her with that.

Then my second problem. A little girl, maybe four years old. Hair like bronze, heart shaped face, and lips like mine – well cuter – and wide red eyes, she was staring at me. She really looked a lot like me.

A vision brought me out of my staring for just a moment. I saw a man. Supposedly my mate. I blinked and shook my head. Then I leaned forward and she raised her left arm. Curiously I took her hand.

She showed me her human parents. Both blondes. Female had green eyes and the male had blue. They were not alike her at all. As if fate had played with her genes and they fated her to meet me. As if she was meant to be mine, but since I died so early I never had the chance… and my mate, he was supposed to be her father. She was meant to be our child.

I scooped her up in my arms and took away her bloodlust so she would be immune, making her eye color change into how they had been when she was human. They were brown, like mine! Exactly like mine, to make a point.

I teleported back to the castle with her in my arms – into the throne room. Several gasps could be heard and I flinched. Oh great.

"Let me explain!" I hurriedly said and turned to my father and uncles.

The three of them were standing, confusion written all over their faces.

"You do not understand why I let one live, right?" I asked, calming down. They nodded in perfect sync. To be honest I had to keep from laughing. "Can you see how much she resembles me?" They got a closer look as I turned her a bit towards them and their eyes widened. "But at the same time not quite like me…there is also a man, in my future. My mate. And he is her supposed father," I explained rather excited.

"But how?" my father asked.

I simply said, "Magic." My father raised a brow. "Er…if I and this man had met as humans, we would have gotten this child. However, that cannot happen since I'm a vampire. So fate decided to make two humans be sort of holders, they were nothing alike this child, so I could eventually find her, oooor something like that. Ehe… Buuut this woman – vampire – changed her, and I found her as an immortal child, but she is meant to be mine. It's destiny!" I said in a soft tone.

They looked to be thinking, but we all knew I had won. It was no going against the strongest vampire.

"I approve," my father said slowly.

I smiled. I had read their thoughts, so I already knew, but to keep up appearances… My uncles nodded as well and I squealed happily.

"Tell this to mother and my aunts!" I called as I raced out of the throne room and headed straight for my own room – tower.

My tower had four floors. When you walked in the door that lead into the tower, you looked straight towards stairs. Behind it, you could see things I needed to make my own clothes with, like fabric and needles, thread… I could go on. But it was all because I hate to go shopping, and I mean it! Then as well it is my music room.

The second floor of my tower is filled with books. My own personal library. As well as a game room.

Third floor: My giant walk-in-closet with all my dresses (that I made) and well, clothing (that I made as well).

Fourth floor: My bedroom! As well as a nice bathroom.

I went straight to my bedroom and placed Renesmee – yep I had already named her – on my Queen sized bed, so she could sleep. I used my sleeping powers on her so she fell asleep at once, also giving her the gift to be able to sleep. "My little Renesmee," I whispered and kissed her forehead.

Then I walked one floor down to my closet. I changed into a red dress (imagine Lolita Goth Victorian style on the dress) and while changing I realized something.

Renesmee would need toys, her own clothing and Jane as well as Heidi would be the perfect ones for the job. After all the two of them love shopping.

I guess I have to admit something. Due to my future seeing we are much more modern than the rest of the people and creatures out in the world to be living in the 1800s. I guess we were pretty special, at least humans that became food to the guard thought as such whenever they entered the castle. So yeah, the guard still live on human blood. But I leave it up to choice. Whether you stay to the original diet or if you choose another path.

I heard a knock from the first floor.

"Come in!" I yelled. Knowing whoever it was would be perfectly able to hear me even with a normal voice.

Jane was by my side within seconds. "We have a guest. Carlisle Cullen. He is a vegetarian and has been since he was changed. He works as a doctor for the humans and has amazing self-control. Aro wants you to meet him. The Kings left to hunt. Oh, and by the way, Heidi is coming with our food, so I said you would go to his room and take him for a walk or something."

She was talking so fast that I barely kept up. With humor clear in my tone I said, "Thank you, Jane."

"You're welcome my Queen."

I rolled my eyes by the use of 'my Queen'. Ugh, she just knew exactly how to annoy me. But at the same time she knew to be just about careful enough to not piss me off.

I teleported to Carlisle's room and started to laugh when he jumped in surprise.

"Hello, Carlisle. I am Bella," I said and reached out my hand.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Bella. Your father has told me a lot about you," he said and shook my hand briefly, followed by a smile.

"I hope nothing bad."

"Not at all. Just some of the rules. That you saved them a long time ago. But I have to ask…" He seemed to think it over for a second. "Why aren't your guard vegetarians like you?" he asked curiously.

"Well, because they have a choice. They wanted human blood, to be as much vampire as possible, if that makes sense. And after all, they are our guard, so the stronger they are the safer it is when I am not around. I do like to travel around."

"Oh. I see."

"It can get depressing. I mean, being in the castle all the time… Carlisle? Do you want to take a walk with me in the castle garden?" I then asked.

"Thank you, that sounds lovely."

We walked in the garden for some few hours. I told him the few rules that we had. A bit about the immortal children. And about the wars in the south of the US. And it all seemed to fascinate him quite a lot. Especially when I told him about other mythical creatures that we knew of and their powers. Then my powers and that I also had seen my mate in the future.

Carlisle thanked me for the walk and was deep in thought when I left to find my little Renesmee.

When I came back to our room, she was sitting up and crying. "Mama," she said quietly and whimpered.

A soft smile graced my lips and I jumped onto the bed and hugged her close.

A bit later I stood with her in my arms in front of Carlisle's door. I knocked and grinned when he opened almost at once – his mouth agape.

"Carlisle, this is my Renesmee. The only immortal child allowed to exist."

"May I ask w-why?" he stuttered a bit and I giggled as I walked in and past him.

Then I told him the same thing I did my father and my uncles. Then about to leave I turned towards him. "Do you want to be a hundred percent immune against human blood?" I asked.

"That would be wonderful," he muttered a little dazed. "It will be much easier to be a doctor, not worrying about slipping, ever."

As he rambled a bit, I could see why. It was a lot to take in in one day, even as a vampire. I concentrated a bit and after the next time he blinked, he opened his blue eyes. Blue like the ocean. I grinned. "You might want to look in the mirror, uncle Carlisle," I whispered and gave him a hug, with Renesmee still in my arms.

"Thank you," I heard him whisper as I teleported to the throne room. Knowing that feeding time was over and everything would be clean.

Aro, Marcus and Caius were back on their thrones. My father's eyes were shining with interest while Marcus and Caius were a bit more subtle.

"Queen Isabella!" Alec said happily and I rolled my eyes in response, making Jane laugh quietly.

"Hello, Aro, Marcus, Caius," I said, ignoring Alec, as usual.

I walked over to my throne and sat down with Renesmee on my lap – singing quietly to her. Not even ten minutes had passed when Felix walked in followed by a male vampire. I stopped my humming and looked at the man.

"Felix, what is going on?" I asked.

"My Queen, this is Edmund and he wants to die," Felix explained.

"Why?" I asked and wrapped my shield around him as he came to stand in front of us.

"My mate was k-killed. I cannot live without her. She meant everything to me," Edmund said.

"Hmm…I understand. How long were you together before she died? Who killed her?" I asked, my voice soft.

"We were together for hundred and fifty-one years, my lady. It was a tracker – James – and his mate Victoria that killed her. I was able to kill James, but Victoria got away. I believe she has a power to escape. Also, she is pretty fast."

"Not as fast as Isabella," Caius muttered, clearly irritated.

"Calm down, Caius," Aro said slowly and briefly met my eyes.

I met Edmund's eyes again. "I will not kill you, but you deserve your mate. You have not done anything criminal. Do you have the ash from when she was burnt?" I asked hopefully.

He nodded and pulled a bag out of his long jacket, while Heidi showed Carlisle in.

"Ah, uncle Carlisle! I'm so glad you could make it!" I said, my voice excited and I smiled widely.

"You called him uncle?" Marcus wondered.

I mouthed 'later' and turned my attention back to Carlisle.

"Carlisle, you will now witness something that proves that vampires really have souls," I explained and placed Renesmee on my throne as I made my way to Edmund. He handed me the bag and I walked past him, spreading the ash on the floor in a circle. I concentrated on his mate's soul and a sharp light came from within the circle. Then the glow disappeared, and in its place was a female. Edmund's mate. She blinked a few times, laying on the floor, before she ever so carefully sat up, confused.

"Where am I?" she asked. Her gaze landed on Edmund. I smiled. "Edmund?" she asked, her voice clear with shock.

"I-I'm here," he choked and embraced her. Then he met my eyes. "Thank you. Thank you so much," he said and started sobbing into his mate's hair.

"I'm going to find this Victoria and kill her," I muttered to myself.

I looked to Carlisle and found him smiling. His mind reflecting that he always had the feeling that vampire had souls, but now it was proven right. He had always been right.

Carlisle left in 1910. I had told him about his mate and he had seen her shortly after. And then he wanted to make sure that she was safe.

By cheating – using my powers – I knew that Carlisle would move to Chicago in 1916, and I saw him together with his mate. Esme. And she was newly changed. From what I could see, she was very kind, and tried to do everything to not attack humans while hunting. She was also very pretty. Her love reflected in Carlisle's eyes. They were practically shining with the love he felt for her.

Then in 1916, I visited together with Renesmee. I made Esme immune to human blood and her eyes went from red to green with gray flecks. I made sure to be there when she awoke so she did not have to go through her newborn stage. She was glowing in happiness, knowing she could be with Carlisle forever. She also took quite the liking to Renesmee.

In 1921, we got visitors in Volterra from Rosalie and Emmett Cullen. Carlisle had sent them, making it a part of their honeymoon. They were on an all around the world tour. So I helped them with their thirst as well and let them meet Renesmee. Now she had an aunt and uncle.

Then I did something to their minds, which I also did to Carlisle and Esme by distance. If a mind reader ever came across them, he or she would not be able to see Renesmee or me if they were thinking about us. It would be like a blank spot for the mind reader. So the one bearing the memories could see us in their mind but not the intruder. However, they could talk about either of us. I did it all for protection. For safety sake.

In 1939, Alice and Jasper came across me while I hunted in the woods, alone. They were on their way to find Carlisle and his family. I took away their bloodlust, which helped especially Jasper a lot, and then I briefly explained to them the basic rules. However, they did not get the chance to meet Renesmee and for that, I felt a bit sad. I had a feeling they would get along great.

Now it is 2002 and Renesmee and I are still traveling around the US, which we started in the 1950's. I simply could not bear to stay in the castle anymore. Not that it was boring, because it usually was. But I also missed the friends I had met, and I was trying to see if we could find Carlisle.

Secret, I know where he is. That might have sounded creepy, I know, but Renesmee and I had taken our time. Just enjoying life, I guess you could say. But that is how we ended up in Forks, Washington.

We are living in the middle of the woods with a really long driveway from the main road. If you used high speed you could reach our house within 20 minutes, but if you were a slow driver, well it would take more. I cheat. I admit it. I teleported.

The house has two floors.

First floor: Kitchen, living room, a bathroom, a game room and a small room where I make my own clothes.

Second floor: Three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Every room has a walk-in-closet. One of the bedrooms I made a guest room, but Renesmee stored most of her toys in there, so it ended up as her playing room. Then I made the other a guest room instead. Confusing? I know, right. The third room with its own bathroom ended up being Renesmee's bedroom and mine.

We also have a big garden with a swimming pool, much to Renesmee's delight. Chairs with a table in the middle (perfect for breakfast or other meals outside). And the flowers are just beautiful.

Renesmee and I were hunting when I smelled them. It was Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Jasper, Em and Rose. Then also a scent I did not recognize. Who was it?

I barely tended to my powers anymore, except from the usual shields and teleporting now and then. Had my visions missed something? And I had to admit that I was tempted to look, however, I knew I could not.

Let it go as it goes. Just let it be, don't cheat, I told myself over and over.

I picked up Renesmee and she slept in my arms as I followed the trail of scents. They led me to a big white house. Like a mansion. I knew they were inside. All seven. Instead of walking up their steps and visiting I teleported back home together with my little girl.

I laid Renesmee near the wall in our bed so she would not fall out. Then I went to take a shower. After refreshing myself I called the principal of Forks High and enrolled. A bit later I had to transfer a bunch of money to the school just so I could bring Renesmee with me, but I also had to promise that she would not create trouble or bother class.

I told the principal that on sunny days we went hiking and on camping trips. Again it was fine (money transfer) and in the end he said that I could start the following morning, that I could not be late and finally wished me luck.

Then I joined Renesmee in sleep.

The next morning again I was in a rush as I rummaged through our closet and found a pair of jeans I had made myself as well as a shirt in dark blue.

Renesmee was eating and I picked up from her head that she was wondering what school would be like.

"Mama?" she asked before it was time to go.

"Yes, baby?" I answered softly while fastening her seatbelt.

"Do you think we will meet uncle Em and aunt Rose?"

I had not heard her speak this much before and I found myself a bit…speechless. Usually she would just touch my cheek when she wanted to say something, but this was the longest sentence I had ever heard her say. It made me proud and I could not stop the wide smile that broke out.

"Maybe, it depends. But hopefully later we can meet them as well as uncle Jasper and aunt Alice. We just have to wait and see," I told her. I had had contact with Alice now and then, I had shared what I knew with Renesmee, and she truly did see Alice and Jasper as family. That girl had the strangest ways to form bonds.

Then we were on our way. After getting my schedule, a map and a slip the teachers had to sign, I walked with Renesmee in my arms towards the main building.

"I heard she killed her parents and that she became pregnant with a murderer…"

"I heard she got pregnant and then her fiancé dumped her…"

She's so alike the Cullens…

She has a beautiful daughter…

"I bet I can get her to sleep with me within this week…"

Niiiice body…

I shook my head to the few things I picked up. Did humans not have anything better to do? Ok, my daughter is beautiful and then it was the part about Cullens. Did that mean they went to school as well? If so I might meet them later, I thought to myself.

Nice clothes. Really nice… A vampire. The thought was so loud and it really sounded like Alice. Alice! I turned around just to be faced with the pixie.

"Alice!" I exclaimed. Surprise written on my face. Renesmee moved in my arms. She was mainly sitting on my left arm, looking over my shoulder. But when I addressed the vampire she turned and looked the pixie up and down.

"Izzy?" Alice asked. Shock mirroring in her eyes. I nodded and she pulled me in for a hug. It was a good thing I was not human, or I would have died.

"Bella!" I heard a familiar male voice shout. Emmett?

"Em?" My eyes were wide.

"Bella! Nessie!" he then exclaimed happily and pulled us in for a bone-crushing hug as well. I had to remind him of Renesmee sitting on my arm.

"Bella? Renesmee?"

"Hello, Rose," I answered and smiled.

"Aunt Rose and Alice, look!" Renesmee said and handed them a necklace she had gotten from me.

I handed her over to Emmett and he gladly took her and twirled her around. She giggled happily and Rosalie scolded him, saying he had to be careful.

People in the parking lot had also begun to stare, and was whispering amongst themselves.

"Where's Jasper?" I then asked Alice, curious over where her mate was.

"He is on his way together with Edward. They were hunting," she replied.

"Ed-who?" I asked and tilted my head.

"Edward. Our brother," she stated.

"You never mentioned him in your letters," I pointed out.

"Erhm…well! It doesn't matter now. She will love Jasper, I'm sure!" Alice said happily jumping up and down with excitement.

Avoiding the topic, eh?

"I'm sure," was all I said.

I got Renesmee again and handed her to Alice. At once she addressed the pixie as her aunt and expressed her joy.

The bell rang and I hurriedly took Renesmee and rushed to my first class. "See ya all at lunch!" I called.

Alice was in my second and third class, then fourth period I was alone with Renesmee again. To be honest I just wanted the bell to ring so I could get out of there. The humans stared all the time, and it did not help that the teacher scolded them, it simply did not work in their simple minds. They kept staring. So I distracted myself some by playing with her hair, but what I longed for was being with my family.

Finally the bell rang and I hurried out with my girl in my arms.

I walked straight to the table where the Cullens sat. Renesmee held my hand as we walked together. She was concentrating on walking so she did not notice the others. It was Alice, Jasper, Rose, Em and a male that looked strangely familiar with his back towards us. Two chairs were pulled out, one for me and one for Renesmee. I helped her into a seat and took the one beside the messy haired male. However, I was still standing when they started to notice me.

"Izzy!" Jasper nearly shouted when he noticed me. I smiled in reply.

"Hi, Jazz," I then said and sat down.

"It's so good to see you! And this has to be Renesmee," he said and smiled.

Renesmee was looking at him, smiling shyly.

"What's up with Izzy?" I heard Emmett ask, followed by a smack from Rosalie.

"You're right," I said, addressing Jasper and pulled out a bottle of water from the bag I brought with me.

"She is indeed beautiful," he murmured as he let Renesmee play with his fingers.

"Mm…" was all I responded with as my thoughts went back to when I first met her.

Then Emmett said something that brought my attention back to reality.

"Have you found your mate yet?" he asked, eyes shining with playfulness.

I rolled my eyes. "No, not yet." I tilted my head ever so little. "I figured out I should not cheat too much with my powers. It is not fair, don't you think?"

Rosalie nodded beside her husband and Alice suddenly looked to remember something.

"Oh!" she exclaimed. "Bella! This is our mind reading brother Edward. Edward, this is Bella, Izzy, Isabella, whatever…" Alice trailed off.

"Nice to meet you," I said carefully and turned my head ever so briefly and met his golden eyes. His expression were the one of wonder and I automatically turned my head and looked to Renesmee who was playing with her necklace. The dots fell into place as I looked back at him. I gaped. Him. He is… My eyes widened even more if possible, at least that is how it felt like.

Without him noticing, I removed his bloodlust and his golden eyes turned into a beautiful emerald green. My lips parted once again but this time I was quick to close them again. He stiffened, said nothing. My eyes narrowed.

I arose and picked up Renesmee. "I'm heading off to my next class. Don't want to be late. See you later," I said and turned away. Heading for biology. Of course the whispering about the new girl and the kid started through the cafeteria at once as I made my way through and out, just great.

I found a seat in the biology classroom and I played with Renesmee while waiting for the teacher. Students started to enter and finally after half the class were there, he came. I showed him my slip, which he signed, and then I returned to my seat.

The seat beside me moved, but I did not look up before the class started. I briefly turned my head. Crap. Edward sat beside me.

"Ok, class. Please be quiet. The one sitting beside you now will be your partner for the rest of the year," Mr. Banner said and then started his lecture.

Double crap. I must be damned.

It was not like he gave off a vibe that said he liked me very much. And he was my supposed mate, which means Renesmee's father. Great.

"Mama?" Renesmee said quietly.

"Yes?" I whispered back.

She held her hand out and touched my cheek, wondering if Carlisle and Esme would be here – well her words were grandma and grandpa.

I nodded. "They do not attend school; they're too old for that. But we might meet them soon," I whispered.

Her eyes filled with happiness and she smiled.

I felt the stare and turned.

"What?" I asked, maybe a bit rude?

"N-nothing," he replied and turned his attention back to the front of the classroom.

Yeah, right, I added in my mind.

When the hour was over I went towards gym. Renesmee looked behind me and I heard her whisper, "Papa." I sucked in a deep breath.

Even if I had not said anything, she recognized him. She knew deep within who he was.

So, I hope you liked it : )

R&R!
