A/N:- Thanks for the good reponse, so here we go with the Cullens xx Alexis


Bella was still thinking about Peter as she left the ladies room and how the anniversary of their meeting was only five days away and no matter where she was he always found her. So she was unaware of the little pixie like girl until she was cornered in the corridor by her, "Hello Bella! I'm Alice and we're going to be best friends!" What the Fuck! she thought where are we, in pre-school!

Bella ignored her and attempted to push past her to get away, but Alice had no intention of letting her through, so for once Bella used her gift, over the years she had honed it, so if she touched a person or vampire, cause she'd practised on Peter, they and only they were frozen. She quickly made her escape into the main room and stood next to the police dignitaries, before releasing Alice, who came back looking stunned and confused but Bella refused to meet her eye.

As one the vampires descended on her and the leader she presumed introduced himself. "Hello Miss Swan, I'm Dr Carlisle Cullen, I knew your father quite well," he said politely and held out his hand. Having no reason, not to Bella shook the proffered hand, obviously not flinching from the cold as she was so used to Peter, but he defiantly felt warmer than this. "Funny he never mentioned you! nor did I see you at his funeral!" she said knowing her father did not know them well or particularly like them.

He proceeded to introduce his family to her, ignoring her cutting remarks and she was most disappointed when Jasper was introduced to her, this was not the brother Peter talked about, here was a very pale imitation and she could not help but show her emotions which dumbfounded him. Peter has let slip things about himself over the years and his brother who lived with the veggiepires was one of those things.

When Edward was introduced he held onto her hand longer than was polite and she coughed and look at his father raising an eyebrow, "Edward, release Miss Swan's hand!" She laughed saying "Thank you, with all these cops about I didn't want to be arrested for corruption of a minor!" and Jasper and Emmett burst out laughing, while Edward looked, well actually he looked constipated, but she doubted that was the emotion, he was trying to portray.

Bella started to move away when Esme asked if she would like to come to their house after the swearing in. She gave them a clear, why the hell would I want to do that look, but said: "Oh thanks but no, I'm actually going to La Push to..!" "You can't go there! I won't allow it!" burst out Edward and Bella lost it, " Listen to me and listen good, little boy, you don't tell this grownup what to do, ever! Your manners are deplorable and insulting to both me and your parents!" she hissed and spun on her heel and walked away.

"Way to go, Eddie, you really are a douche!" Rose said and it was the last thing Bella heard as she took her seat up front far from the Cullens. When the event was over and as she made to leave Dr and Mrs Cullen approached her to apologise on Edward behalf, but she just glared at them saying "What! he can't even apologise for himself? He really must be a disappointment to you!" Then left them standing with their mouths open.

Carlisle Cullen was beginning to wonder if this was how everyone perceived Edward, Alice nodded and Jasper rolled his eyes as if to say at last you see it. "Emmett, Jasper, make sure he doesn't do something stupid like try to stop her!" he said, but they were too late. When Bella reached her car she saw Edward rushing away and knew something was wrong, it refused to start. Rose came up behind her saying "I'm so sorry, let me look, damn he's taken the distributor cap, Jesus what an idiot! Carlisle? Edward's disabled Miss Swan's car!" she shouted so everyone heard.

Carlisle was livid and took out his phoned "Bring it back now Edward, No Now!" When he arrived back he didn't even act like he'd done anything wrong, so Bella froze the whole street, took the cap, fixed it back on and then turned to Edward, she cocked her head, laughed and then stripped him down to his underwear, got in her car and as she drove away unfroze them all, she could hear the uproar as she drove out of Forks for La Push, throwing his clothes out before the treaty line, she knew it was childish but the little shit needed taking down a peg or two, she hadn't done anything that funny in years with her gift.

Once over the boundary she took out her phone and texted Peter, 'I know I'll see you soon, but I'm in Forks and just met the Cullens and I'm not impressed with any of them! But the youngest has a couple of screws loose! Need you now! Hiding in La Push for the moment. Bella'. Then she drove quickly down to the reservation to see Billy, Jake came rushing out and scooped her up, "How are you holding up Bells? After you've spoken to dad, come see me and Kayla. You won't believe how big Sarah is now and we're just days away from the new baby, I can't wait" he told her excitedly, Bella loved Jacob like a brother, during early holidays in Forks, he was all that kept her sane because fishing with Charlie was mind numbingly boring.

Then after the bite on her arm was seen, Old Quill the shaman took an interest in the little girl and when he realised she has a gift he helped her to get better control of it and during that time she learned about the wolves from before, the treaty and the different types of vampires that were out there, though there were no wolves on the rez until the Cullens returned two years ago. She was sitting in Jake and Kayla's when a call came from the Cullen's wanting a meeting at the treaty line and Bella to be present, do they never mind their own business? The council asked her opinion and she said "Make them wait! I came to visit you, my friends and extended family, they can go to hell!" So it was decided that the meeting would be at ten o'clock tomorrow night and Bella was staying at Jakes place tonight, it wasn't safe for her to leave.

Bella spent that evening at a bonfire, enjoying the reunion with old friends and meeting new ones, especially some of the wolves, they all wanted to know if she could freeze them. Paul ever the show off phased quickly and leapt in the air, Jake was already in wolf form keeping Bella and Kayla warm, so knowing they were linked mentally she touch him and froze Paul mid-flight, but it froze all the phased wolves at the same time even the ones on patrol, the rest were safe and were laughing and photographing Paul suspended in the air. A few talked well into the night and she told them what she'd done to Edward and they were rolling about laughing or in the wolves cases barking and it could be heard all the way to the border where Edward sat seething.

The Cullens were not pleased and Edward was all for going to La Push to bring her back by force, it was only Jasper's voice of reason and the fact that he, Emmett and Rose said they would have no hand in it at all. That stopped Carlisle doing Edward's bidding, he was a weak leader and gave into Edward and Alice at every turn, but he was also a pacifist and would not fight willingly for anybody, so would not go if he was likely to be outnumbered.

At the Cullens meeting, they had also decided that Bella had to be removed from the influence of the tribe and put under the care of them, whether she wanted to or not. This was based on Alice's visions, though she never mentioned she couldn't see Bella's future at all, neither did Edward admit he couldn't hear her and Carlisle was too stupid to ask, Jasper knew they were lying about something and was beginning to get a bad feeling about this whole thing.

He was there because he wanted to, not forced or coerced, well he thought so until now, he knew Alice and himself were not mates although she blatantly lied to the family about it and only Carlisle and Esme didn't know the truth, because Jasper had told Rose and Emmett five years after he'd arrived. He was really starting to get sick of the two of them and knew Rose and Emmett were too. They had all worked out long ago how to lie to Edward and as long as they only made spontaneous decisions could get past Alice as well.

But the three of them were always outvoted as Esme only ever sided with Carlisle. They did not want to interfere in Bella's life in any way, she was a human protected by another supernatural species. So she was a gifted human, that wasn't all that unusual. Edward talked about her as if she was his personal belonging and not a grown woman who apparently disliked him and Alice intently. So Rose called a halt to the travesty by saying, they should wait till after they had spoken to the Quileute's at least, unless Carlisle wanted to break the treaty, for no other reason than Edward wanted a new toy to play with.
