"BELLA! We're going to be late!" Charlotte yelled from downstairs, I groaned.

"I'm coming! Will! Come here and help me find my ring!" I yelled back. William appeared at my side in an instant a huge smirk on his face.

"Here Mom," He said handing me my old ring. I looked at him and sighed, his blonde hair was pulled back into a small pony tail at the nape of his neck. He was wearing some ripped blue jeans, a dark gray short sleeve with a black vest over it; he was wearing his old boots always.

I had gone back to Texas about 17 years after I was turned, I had bumped into Will and Cassie and they both almost immediately recognized me. I told them what I was and why I had to leave and they both understood.

What they both hadn't known was that I had been there when they got married and was watching when Cassie had her first child. I had kept my word; I was always drawn back to them when something big was happening. When they turned 21 I gave them the option to join me or continue their lives, the decision had been very hard on them but William said he wanted to stay with me but Cassie said she wanted to continue her human life.

I tried to persuade Will otherwise to stay with his sister but he said that I needed him more and that we would always be close by to see her. I changed him a few nights later; Cassie was with us until it was almost time for him to wake up.

He left his wife, and baby boy to be with me. He never left my side since.

As promised we stayed in Texas with Peter and Charlotte, two vampires I meet while I was roaming around Galveston a while back. Peter taught me how to fight when he realized I was alone, we all got along and while we weren't exactly a coven we were like a family.

A few years later when Will and I went back to Houston, Cassie was sick and on the brink of death. She said it would be okay if we bit her, and we did, but unfortunately her body rejected the venom and she died that night. Every year after that on their birthday and on the day of her death, we go to Houston see her.

"Mom!" Will yelled, his hands on my shoulders, shaking me out of my thoughts, I grinned sheepishly as he sighed.

"Sorry, come on let's go, we're gonna be late," I said pulling him down the stairs. Hurriedly I pulled on a pair of my old cowboy boots and Jasper's old duster. I quickly stretched out my power to Charlotte and Peter so they looked human.

Stepping outside I slung my over my shoulder and waited for Will locked the door. It was a semi-sunny day in Forks, Washington, a vampire could probably go to school today without sparkling, but from the smell in the air it was going to start raining soon. I pulled on my sun glasses, and watched Charlotte pull her own pair out of her small purse. (Both on profile)

Charlotte adjusted her hat (Pic on profile) before looking up and smiling at me. She's wearing a skin tight no sleeved silver foil skin print, over black skinny jeans and stilettos, along with her sun glasses, she looked hot.

"I'm driving!" I called, Peter grinned at me, his black hair in his face, shading his now hazel eyes. He had on a pair of slightly baggy pants, a short sleeved shirt, a leather jacket and black beanie. He looked like a gothic bad boy, which was exactly what he was apparently going for.

"Alright," he said, tossing a careless arm around Will and Charlotte who laughed, her blue eyes twinkling. Will took my bag as I unlocked my black F-250; I got into the drivers' seat and waited for everyone to get situated before I sped off to the school.

Kids swarmed the grounds as I parked, groaning quietly I got out and waited for my family at the hood of the car. Everyone stopped what they were doing to turn and look at us as we walked to the office. From the corner of my eye I saw a silver Volvo park and five teenagers get out, not just regular teenagers, vampires.

"Hey, we're not alone," I whispered casually, crossing my arms behind my head and leaning back towards Will. Peter still had an arm on Charlotte's shoulder, I could tell he was silently warning any male to try and flirt with her. Charlotte however was calm and collected, obviously trying to fight the burn in her throat.

In this school William and I were posing as fraternal twins, while Peter was posing as William's best friend and Charlotte is a second cousin of ours.

Will opened the door and let us all file in, me in the front, followed by Peter and Charlotte then Will, who found his way back to my side. I walked up to the lady behind the desk.

"Hi, my name is Isabella Davis, this is my brother and cousin, William Davis and Charlotte Davis, and we're here to get our schedules," I said, a fake smile on my lips.

"Alright, and who is that young man?" She asked, failing miserably to hide the lust in her eyes. I saw both Will and Peter shuddered just slightly.

"The name's Peter Swan," Peter said, he was playing the bad boy of the group, much to William's dismay. Charlotte was going to be the bad boy's reckless, insensitive, and bitchy girlfriend, but only if we allowed the humans to get close would they realize she's not that bad. William is playing the innocent, cute, sweet, determined and protective one while I'm the actual bitch of the family.

I was quiet and withdrawn but if you get on my bad side I will beat your ass without hesitation. I am very protective over my son/brother and would do just about anything to protect my family.

"What's this?" She said quietly. She looked up at me and smiled apologetically. "It's seems that all of you are missing a few of your forms are missing," She explained. I tilted my head to the side, silently tell Peter to make sure no one was around.

"Are you sure? I remember all the forms being there!" I said innocently, taking off my sunglasses and sliding them into my hair like I would with a headband.

"No, no they're not here," She said, looking down briefly, I leaned over the little desk and peered onto the page. She looked up and met my eye, big mistake. My voice became smooth and relaxing, lulling her.

"I'm quite sure they're there," I murmured, cutting off my breathing. I felt into her head, her thoughts and memories crashing into me, I easily forced my will upon hers and her eyes glazed over dreamily. "Why don't you check again, maybe you missed it," I purred. She nodded numbly before looking through the pictures and smiling up at me.

I leaned back and took a step back, sliding my glasses back into place. She shook her head, clearly confused before handing us a schedule, a map, a form to get signed by the teachers and a pass since we were apparently late.

"Well have a good day, and don't worry, if you need anything, and I mean anything don't hesitate to ask me," She tried and failed miserably to purr out. We all nodded warily and I took Will's hand and we walked out. I looked down at my schedule and sighed before comparing mine with the others.

I had first and fifth period with William, fourth period with Peter and Charlotte, lunch with everyone, and my last period with Charlotte. We went our separate ways, William and I one direction and Char and Pete the other. Will and I walked side by side, looking for our class room.

"Now remember, anything happens call me," I said, now when I say "call me" I don't mean for him to get out his phone and call me, ever since I changed him we realized we were bonded. Meaning we can talk mentally and communicate regardless of how far apart we were.

"I know mom," He said quietly.

"And no calling me mom in front of anybody, it would be kinda weird." I muttered, he chuckled then sighed.

"Yes, ma'am," He drawled out. I rolled my eyes, my boy had manners.

"Love you, Darlin'," I said, letting my southern accent twist into my voice. He visibly relaxed at that. We found our class and all eyes turned to face us. I blushed, and smiled timidly. The teacher stopped mid sentence and faced us.

"So you must be Isabella and William Davis, since your late, tell us about yourselves," He gestured to the front of the room, causing me to groan quietly. We walked slowly to the front of the room and Will looked at me and I nodded.

"My name is William Davis but everyone calls me Will, I enjoying spending time with my family, wrestling with my sister and best friend, and am very protective over my twin," He smiled a million dollar smile and the girls swooned, I just rolled my eyes. Now they all turned to face me.

"My name is Isabella Davis, everyone calls me Bella, I enjoying reading, spending time with my family, I love beating my brother and cousin at wrestling, and I'm very protective of my family, my twin especially." I gave a seductive smile that Peter called a Man Eaters smile. The guys moved uncomfortably in their seats, obviously dealing with some issues.

We got our slips signed and the teacher handed us our books. I couldn't help but notice the pervert of a teacher starring at my chest. William obviously noticed this as well because he glared at the teacher and wrapped an arm around me.

We sat in the far back and let the teacher drown on and on.

The next few classes until lunch carried on much the same way, guys constantly starring at my ass or practically eye fucking me, it was getting irritating.

Everyone had lunch after fifth period so William and I went through the line and got out food and waited for Pete and Charlotte

Char was dragging Pete in by the arm, he looked annoyed, angry, and amused all at once. I stifled a laugh as I looped arms with Charlotte, she eyed my tray and I shrugged, we needed to keep up appearances.

We sat at an empty table, me between Char and Will and Peter on the other side of Char.

"Do you mind telling me how the hell I let you talk me into going to school?" Peter asked, poking my shoulder. I chuckled and shrugged.

"Because if you hadn't I would I persuaded you otherwise," I stated honestly. He sighed and chuckled.

Suddenly the doors opened and the vampires walked in. I looked over and watched them get their lunch.

There was a tall, very well built guy, who I could tell was mated to the beautiful blond next to him. Following them was a short fairy like girl who I can tell was mated to a tall, not as tall as the other one, but still pretty tall blonde. They were followed by a decent looking bronze haired guy.

Something about the blonde made my false heart beat stutter. There was something familiar about him, something that made me want to jump for joy but run and hide at the same time. Just then he turned to face me, a small gasp escaped my lips, and my power wavered just slightly.

He looked just like him, just like Jasper, my Jazz. Violently, I shook my head in a false attempt to shake the vial thoughts from my head. Pete looked over and meet the Jasper look a like's curious gaze and he chuckled.

I looked over at him and silently questioned his sanity.

"I know him, from back in day when I worked for Maria," He explained in a low fast whisper. I raised an eyebrow at him, telling him to continue. "He was a major in the Confederate Army before he was changed, from what he told me he doesn't remember much of his human life." Peter continued.

"Okay, Pete, all the information is going to a waste without a name," I snapped back quietly, William chuckled but continued to listen.

"His name is Jasper Whitlock," I choked; no, no way in hell could this be happening. I stood up abruptly and left the room, leaving my family confused.

I made it out to the parking lot when they finally caught up with me. Numbly, I told them I need to tell them my story, the whole story. We piled into my truck and I speed to the house.

I paced for a moment before I built up to courage to tell them everything that happened between me and my Jasper. Peter, looked shocked while Charlotte looked sad but sympathetic and William, if he had been human I'm sure he would have passed out.

By the time I was finished, we would have been out of school and now Peter wanted to go see Japer so I got an idea so I agreed to go. Charlotte sat next to me in the back seat of the Mustang as Peter drove. He looked at me through the rear view mirror and smiled.

"So, are you and William going to go Vamp on us, or are going to stay human?" He asked. I smiled.

"Nope, we're staying human, unlike you and Char," I shrugged.

"But mom!" William whined childishly.

"Oh, be quite, they'll know you're a vampire soon," I chastised. He pouted but nodded. "Love you," I laughed, he smiled cheekily and laughed.

"Love you too ma," He said.

"Awe… I wish I had a camera for this sweet mother and son moment!" Peter teased, Charlotte slapped the back of his head and he chuckled. We pulled up in the front of a huge white mansion. Peter stepped in between me and William and draped a lazy arm on our shoulders.

Jasper appeared in front of us a huge smile on his beautiful face.

"Hey fucker, what have you been up to?" Jasper greeted, not noticing me and Will. Peter laughed and took his hand only to get clapped roughly on the back.

"I've been fine, so long as I have my little vixen at my side," Peter said, taking Charlotte by the waist and nuzzling her throat, I looked at William and made fake gagging noises. The rest of the family came out; they greeted each other kindly but the pixie girl look mad at something.

"Oh! Who's this?" Said Esme, the apparent mother figure to this coven, asked. I smiled turning on my Texas charm as I replied.

"Isabella Davis, ma'am," I drawled. She smiled and shook my hand, trying to be careful with the "human".

"I'm William Davis, pleasure to meet you ma'am," William said, effectively dazzling her. I could tell that if she had been human she would have been blushing bright red as he took her hand a place a small kiss on her knuckles.

"Will, cut the shit! She's married!" Peter teased, lightly. William grinned.

"I know it's called being a Southern Gentleman!" William spat back.

"That is so over raided!" Muttered Peter, I just laughed.

"How rude of me, allow me to introduce everybody!" Esme flustered, quickly introducing all of us. I shook hands with all of them, but when it came time for me to shake Jasper's hand, an electric shock went up my arm. Apparently he felt as we because he looked me in the eye, when he did that I all could see was gold.

I felt like I was suffocating, all I could see was his eyes, all I could feel were his eyes looking into my very soul. Someone cleared their throat and we pulled away from each other.

Looking around I saw Alice glaring at me, Peter and Charlotte smiling and everyone else looking confused.

"Your eyes,… they look familiar, why?" He asked, his voice almost the same as it was when he was human only slightly different, obviously confused. I tilted my head to the side and blinked.

"I got them from a great-great-great-grandmother or something like that; they say I'm a spitting image of her." I shrugged; he seemed to thing about that while I was led inside by Esme. Jasper, Emmett, Edward, Peter and William started talking, while the rest of them turned on me.

They asked Charlotte how they were able to be around me, and how we knew each other, both of which we lied smoothly, saying that they saved us from being murdered like our parents were.

"So Bella, what else can you tell us about you great whatever grandmother?" asked Rosalie, who was now eyeing my necklace.

"All I know is that her husband had been her best friend, they got married young, when they were 17 I think, and that same year he went into the Confederate Army. She had been pregnant, but didn't tell him in hopes of seeing him in person, that never happened. After three years she found out he went missing, presumed dead, and two weeks later she went missing, leaving behind twins, a boy and a girl." I said the guys looked over; I could tell he was going over his foggy memories because of the pain there.

"He left her pregnant! That's terrible!" Alice said. I shook my head.

"But if you think about it, he didn't know, and she wanted to tell him in person, not through a letter," I said shaking my head.

"That's a beautiful necklace you have there, may I see it?" Rosalie asked. I nodded.

"Will, can you help me, please?" I asked sweetly.

"Sure m…Bells," He stuttered, trying to cover up him about to call me mom. I lifted up my hair and he carefully took off the necklace and placed it in my hand.

I handed it to Rose as she carefully opened the locket.

"Jasper, this man looks awfully like you," Rose said, her eyes wide. His head snapped up and he went to look at the tiny picture. Slowly, realization and recognition shown in his eyes, then he looked sad, so sad it was heart breaking. Alice walked up to him and pulled him to her chest.

"Izzy…," He breathed. I looked away, my eyes falling on William.

'That's your father, Darlin,' I thought to him. He smiled a small smile and held my hand tightly.

'He still loves you,' he thought, I shook my head.

"No," I accidentally said out loud.

"Excuse me?" Jasper asked.

"You're excused," I retorted, a flash of anger sparked in his eyes and I internally grinned. Alice moved away from Jasper and glared at me while she sat down.

"Who they hell do you think you are?!" He growled.

"I don't think, I know I'm Isabella Marie Davis, is there a problem with that?" I asked. His eyes widened when he heard the name.

"Shouldn't your last name be something else after a few generations?" He demanded.

"Well it turned to Whitlock, so my name should be Isabella Marie Davis-Whitlock, happy Jazzy?" I snapped.

"What did you just call me?" He asked, his voice slightly breaking.

"Jasper, what else would I call you?" I said, covering up my slip.

"No, you called me Jazzy!" He growled. I was about to say something when out of no where Alice went still and her eyes blank. Edward suddenly started growling.

"The Volturi are here," he hissed. We all except William stiffened.

"Bella, you and William need to get out of here," Peter said. William looked between us, confusion clouding his eyes.

"No, it's too late," Alice groaned. I stood up and pulled William behind me.

"They can't take him," I said to Peter, the desperation barely hidden in my voice. Now everyone looked between us with equally confused.

The Volturi wanted me in their guard due to my gifts; they will do anything to get me on. Even if that means killing, then just like that Corin, Jane, Felix, Alec and Afton's scent wafted my nose. A growl erupted from everyone's, myself included, chest.

Esme got off the phone with Carlisle as we all walked outside. Peter and Charlotte in front of me and William behind me, Jane was in the front and when she saw me her eyes widened and a dangerous smirk formed on her lips.

"Well look who it is, Isabella," Jane said, I smirked and walked to the front.

'Stay behind Peter and Charlotte,' I thought to William.

"Well, hello Jane," I purred. Everyone looked at me and suddenly they were frozen, (Les just say it Afton's gift), I quickly put my shield around my little family and Jasper.

"Aro will be very pleased if we bring you back to Volterra," She said.

"To bad you won't be bringing me back," I spat. I was so busy making sure the shield was up and glaring at Jane that I didn't realize Felix running to pin me. Suddenly, my back slammed into a tree, it cracked with the force of my impact.

My ability to shift our features dropped and everyone gasped as they saw me.

"Really, so what if we injured your family," Jane taunted. I growled when suddenly Peter and Charlotte got emotionless and Corin went and pick William up by his throat. I fought against my restrainer and all I could look at was William.

Jasper must have been in shock as he looked at my panicked expression.

"William!" I yelled. Corin took a hold William's arm and slowly began twisting. He let out a loud wail and I screamed. "No, please! Let him go! Please, don't hurt him!"

"Mom, I'm fine!" William yelled obviously trying to hide the pain. The more I struggled the more body parts went missing, and then Jane started mentally tortured Emmett, Alice, Edward and Esme.

Suddenly a fire was being made and I let out a tortured wail. Jasper snapped out of his daze and snapped into action. I quickly covered him in my shield. He tackled Afton and quickly dislodged his head, launching it into the woods somewhere. His body went running while Jasper went to go save William.

I looked Felix in the eye and let my influence seep into his mind while his thoughts and memories seeped into mine. I forced my will on him and he suddenly looked dazed.

"You will let me go, then you will take your team and leave us," I said, he nodded and let me drop to the floor before he sped off with Corin, Alec and Jane hot on his tail. Without sparing another thought I ran to my son's aid, cradling his head to my chest.

"William, come on look at me, your fine sweetie, you fine," I said, kissing his forehead and gently stroking his still there arm. After a few minutes he was as good as new but he was still in shock.

"Mom?" He groaned.

"Yes Darlin?" I murmured.

"I can't breath," He said, chuckling. I let him go and helped him stand. Peter and Charlotte had been next to me, and we on either side of us.

"I guess we have some explaining to do," I sighed. There was a series of nods and I smiled sheepishly. I was led inside and everyone took a seat and looked at me expectantly.

I couldn't bring myself to look away from Jasper's hurt expression.

"I got married to my best friend at the age of 17, we had known each other since infancy but we had had a rough past. I loved him dearly; nothing could have ever changed that. Two months after the wedding my husband was called into the Confederate Army, we were together for the last time that night. The next day we were busy, he packed and told his parents and me being the faithful wife, I supported him. I showed have argued with him to stay, I should have at least tried," I sighed, looking down at my feet, ashamed. "At the train station, he gave me that locket to remember him by, he said 'Izzy, I love you so much, never ever forget that, I don't care what happens to me I will always love you. Even in death, darlin', I will love you all the more,'" I stated mimicking him easily.

Everyone looked shocked, and they didn't realize that my husband, my best friend was sitting right across from me.

"He left, but he sent a letter regularly, I found out I was pregnant four months later," I said, Jasper looked shocked and he looked at William almost as if for the first time. "I didn't tell him I was pregnant because I wanted to tell him in person, five months later I gave birth to twins. A boy," I squeezed William's hand. "and a girl. I named him William Jasper Whitlock, and my girl's name was Bellatrix Cassandra Whitlock. They both looked like us both, Cassie had his silver eyes but they were flaked gold and my children couldn't have been anymore perfect." I sighed, kissing the back of my son's hand.

Everyone looked between the two of us and realization dawn on them.

"He's your son," Esme stated. I nodded. She smiled.

"My brother, father, and both of our families helped me raise them. It was two weeks after their third birthday and two weeks before my own birthday and I had been talking to my brother about my husband. I hadn't received a letter for two years and I was so upset and angry, I was about to say something when there was a knock on the door."

Tears welled in my eyes and I tried to blink them back, I looked at Jasper and saw his expression was very guilty.

"The officer told me that he went missing and was presumed dead, they found his wedding ring next to the body of his horse. I was devastated, I cried, I screamed, I begged, I didn't want to accept the fact that the love of my life was dead." A few traitorous tears slipped down my cheeks. "The twins didn't understand what was going on, but they tried to comfort me the best they could," William stood up behind me and wrapped his arms around me which calmed me down to an extent.

I closed my eyes, silently reliving everything that happened until I finally reopened my eyes to finish my story.

"Two weeks later, on my birthday, I took a walk in the woods and felt like someone was watching me, so I started running, eventually I fell. Two of the most beautiful people I had ever seen appeared and they talked about me like I was a piece of meat." Jasper growled quietly. "The one named Laurent bit and I remember the pain. Then the one named Victoria told him people were coming and that they needed to leave, he nodded and bit me in random areas of my body and they left. Somehow through my pain filled haze I dragged myself away from there, I burned and burned until it was over, never once uttering a sound." I said, shaking my head. "When I woke up I went back home to talk to my brother, he was confused at first but then promised to take care of my only reasons to exist. I went to their room and I was saying my goodbyes' when they woke up. I talked to them for a little until finally I couldn't take the burn anymore. William here," I said, tapping his hand. "Gave me his necklace and his sister's bracelet, so I gave him two of my rings then I left."

"But that doesn't explain how you know Peter and Charlotte or how William is a vampire!" Alice exclaimed. I silenced her with a glare.

"I roamed by myself for 17 years, I met them in that time, Peter taught me how to fight so I could defend myself. We had to separate soon after because they were rescuing their friend. I went back to Houston and bumped in Cassandra and William, surprisingly they both remembered me. I had seen them get married to their loves' and when my daughter had her first son, I was there in the shadows, on their 21st birthday I gave them a choice to join me or continue their human lives, and William decided to stay with me. Cassandra wanted to but she decided to raise her family. We left shortly and when we came back, she was sick and on the brink of death," A soft sob scratched its way through my throat.

William tightened his grip on me and buried his face under my hair in an attempt to hide his tears.

"She agreed to let us bite her, and we did, but her body…" I stopped for a moment. "Her body rejected the venom and she died that night." I whispered. I looked up to meet Jasper's broken gaze. "Would it be selfish to think that if he hadn't left, if he hadn't signed up in the first place, none of that would have happened?" I asked no one in particular.

"No sweetie, it isn't," Esme said softly.

"That sucks Bella," Emmett commented.

"I should go," I said, taking a step out of my son's death grip on my waist. "I'll see you guys at the house," I murmured. I was about to open the door when Jasper spoke up.

"I always told you not to go in the woods, I told you that!" He said out of no where.

"You also said you would come home but look where that got us!" I retorted, still not turning around. I walked outside and to the middle of the yard and he of course followed.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked sharply.

"Why didn't you ever come home?" I questioned in returned.

"Don't answer a question with a question, did I not have a right to know that you were pregnant!?" He exclaimed.

"Yes, you did, but I wanted to tell you in person! Why didn't you ever come home?! I know you must have some type of temporary leave, yet you never came!" I said.

"I wasn't allowed!" He yelled.

"The hell you weren't! Any of the men that went to war came back for at least a week to see their families!" I yelled.

"How could you possibly know that?" He asked.

"Neighbor's husband and he came back after a few months to see is wife! That's how I know! Jesus, I know you were Major and all but you just forgot about me! You didn't write for two years! Two years that I was worried sick, and depressed!" I stated, taking a step away from him.

"I had no time! I was busy!" He yelled throwing his hands up in the air.

"Excuses, always making excuses, just tell me the truth, just tell me you forgot! Tell me that you didn't love me, that all those years meant absolutely nothing to you!" I screamed at him, he visibly winced.

"I could never forget you," He whispered taking a attentive step forward. I stayed frozen and he walked stand in front of me. "Every night I thought about you, every day was a battle with me to not go home. I didn't come home because if I had then I wouldn't have left, I wouldn't have been able to leave you again," He whispered brokenly. Tears started to fall from my eyes, as I realized I never stopped loving him, it only grew stronger.

"Don't say something that you don't mean," I whispered, his hands on my cheeks, wiping away the tears.

"I mean it," He breathed.

"No you don't, because even after you were changed you never went back to Houston! You forgot about me, about you're family! I hate you!" I screamed. He looked stunned as I took a step back, there was a collective gasp in the house.

"Izzy… you…you can't mean that," He said, he took another step towards me and my hand snapped up and collided with his face. His whole face snapped to the side and he stayed like that, but his hand moved to the spot I hit him.

I was terrified right now, I didn't know if I would be able to let him back in. While I still loved him with all my heart, he was with someone else, he moved on, he forgot, and I hated him for that. I was so hurt I needed time to think, to clear my head. So I did the only thing I could think of at the moment.

I ran.
