A/N: Hey sorry about the clip of chapter 2 on the last one! That was my first time uploading anything and it was late and I was confused! Sorry 'bout that! Well heres the Chapter!
Chapter 2
Bella sighed as she said, "Then I will tell you. In these books are the secrets of millennia. The secrets my family and I have discovered and created. We are the protectors of the neutral balance between good and evil, we are the..."
Bella paused for a moment searching for words, "We are, for lack of a better term, angels. I am the angel of miracles, Tasha is the angel of chaos, Chris is the angel of hate, Jas is the angel of love, John is fate, Harmony is war, Nathan is piece, Ariana is life, and James is death. We protect the balance by bestowing gifts. Miracles, chaos, life, death, war, piece, love, and hate. Tasha and I are low on power and need to rest to regain strength so we can continue our work, thats why we're here in Forks."
Alice stared at Bella in astonishment she couldn't really be an angel, could she? "Bella?" She asked quietly, "When you say, you are angels what do you mean? Are you dead?"
Bella shook her head, "I'm not dead, as far as I know. We are only considered angels, we only know that we have been the same since the beginning of time. " Bella sat on a chair with the book labeled with her name as she motioned for Alice to do the same. "In this book all of my major miracles are recorded, they include you and your family."
"When you say we are some of your miracles, what do you mean?" Alice asked curiously, eyeing the large heavy looking blue book.
"I am the reason you are vampires, and more importantly, vegetarian." Bella said, she wouldn't meet Alice's stare afraid she was angry with her for not allowing her to be human. She was shocked when Alice said,
"If your the reason I have visions, then, thank you."
"How did you know I was the reason behind your visions?" Bella asked, finally looking up only to find Alice grinning.
"I guessed that if you caused me to be a vampire and a vegetarian, you'd be the one who gave me my visions." Alice's grin widened as she said, "Thanks for telling me your secret, the suspense was killing me."
Bella laughed as she asked, "Would you rather borrow the book or read it here?"
Alice's face went blank and Bella assumed she was looking into the future. Finally she answered, "I'll borrow the book, nothing should happen to it."
"That's good, I'll already be getting it for telling you. If something happened to that book they'd kill me, end of the world or not." Bella flinched slightly at the lecture she could imagine getting from John for this.
Alice suddenly started bouncing as she said, "Oh, Bella, why don't you and Tasha come and meet the rest of the family?"
As she spoke Tasha entered the room phone still in hand, "Isabella! Vous n'avez pas dit juste cette sangsue de nous!" She sounded outraged and astounded at the same time. (Isabella! You did not just tell that leech about us!)
Bella attempted a smile as she said, "Alice would have found out any way."
"Bella! John is going to KILL you!" Tasha screeched.
"Well you should be coming, Esme really wanted me to bring you for lunch." Alice interjected as she glanced at her watch. Tasha and Bella stared at Alice with wide, horrified eyes, their mouths forming o's. Alice glanced up and grinned as she said, "You know what I mean! Wait! Do you eat?"
Tasha actually laughed at the worried look on Alice's face, "When we're weak like now we do!"
"What do you mean weak?" Alice cocked her head to the side as she asked. They seemed to be strong if they could alter life so much.
"We have a limited amount of power, and at times that power gets so sparse we have to rest. We consider it being weak." Bella answered with a grimace.
"And that means we have to spend our time meditating and working on our accounts while everyone else gets to have fun!" Tasha sighed over dramatically.
Bella shook her head at her sister as she said, "Are you sure we wont be a bother? We know you don't eat human food and it would be rude of us to impose and make you buy food just for us."
Alice laughed and grabbed each of their hands as she dragged them out of the library. "Oh, and if you don't want us to understand you, I suggest you speak something a little less common!" Alice advised as they got in Carlisle's clack Mercedes. Bella was in the back and Tasha riding shotgun, though Alice was surprised to see siblings not fight over it.
"Any of you know, Greek?" Tasha asked, picking one of the less common languages they knew.
Alice looked at her startled, "No. You know Greek?"
"Come on Pixie Stick!" Tash rolled her eyes as she said, "We practically created the Greeks! Who do you think taught the old Greek gods? Where do you think the mythology comes from? Ill tell you now we know much more than the language!"
"Natasha, θα σταματούσατε; Εμείς can' συζήτηση τ όπως αυτό στο σχολείο ή περίπου το υπόλοιπο τους! Πρέπει πραγματικά ακριβώς να το συνηθίσετε τώρα." Bella sighed as she looked out the window, "Wow, Alice. Your driving is almost as bad as Natasha's." (would you stop? We can't talk like this at school or around the rest of them! You should really just get used to it now.)
"Are you kidding? Her driving is almost as bad as, James'!" Tash scoffed, "Though no one can be as bad as him, he really loves killing people with his car."
Alice stared at them as she listened to their conversation, "Bella, what did you tell Tash in Greek?"
Tash grinned as she answered for her, "She told me to stop being a bitch and get used to you 'cause you're staying." Bella smiled at her sisters words. Though it wasn't what she had said it was an acceptance from Natasha. Alice didn't know it but she had won over one of the cruelest women in all of history. It was quite a feat!
Alice looked doubtful as she said, "That doesn't sound like Bella."
Bella smiled as she said, "I said it more politely."
Cullens/Swans
"Wheres Alice?" Emmett asked as he walked into Jasper and Alice's room to find Jasper reading a book on the bed.
Jasper looked up as he replied, "She said she was going to pick up our neighbors for lunch."
Emmett's eyes nearly fell out of his head as he said, "I thought we were all staying vegetarian! No one told me we were eating our neighbors so they wouldn't find out about us!" His hand was over his mouth in an appalled manner which made him look ridiculous.
Jasper didn't look up from his book as he said, "Thats not what I meant."
Emmett pouted as he mumbled, "You're no fun." He walked away and went to the kitchen to see Esme cooking a human dish called macaroni and cheese. "Esme what are you doing?"
Esme looked up from the bowl and smiled at her 'son'. "I'm cooking. We are going to have guests." As she said this they heard a car driving on the trail to their home.
"Why are the humans coming here?" Rosalie asked, "Can't they stay at their own homes?" She was standing behind Emmett and was glaring at the bowl in Esme's hands.
"They don't have parents and their family is in Paris." Carlisle answered as he walked over to Esme and wrapped his arm around her.
No one could reply to this news and no one had time as the door opened, "Come on Bells! You know very well that they'll come! Its John we're talking about here! You know they wont stay in Paris if Jas, John, and Chris have anything to say about it!" An annoyed female voice said from the front room.
"Thats exactly what I'm worried about, Tash." A second female said, Bella they guessed, "It wont be good if they just show up with no explanation or warning!"
"Why are you two still fighting about this?" Alice asked as she lead the two into the kitchen.
"Because, Pixie Stick, we have to have something to do as we wait to be introduced to the rest of your family." the first girl replied with a sarcastic smile.
"Not to mention she doesn't want to make a good impression, we might end up having to come back." The second girl laughed as her sister pushed her through the doorway. She tripped and barely caught herself on the island.
Alice and Natasha started to laugh as Bella righted herself and rounded on her sister. "That, was unnecessary!"
"It...was...entertaining!" Alice gasped as she leaned on Tasha for support as they continued to laugh.
"Alice." Carlisle reprimanded. "Don't you think you should introduce our guests." Alice smiled as she nodded and grabbed each of their hands. Tasha rolled her eyes and Bella smiled as Alice lead them to Emmett and Rosalie. Emmett was a large muscular vampire with dark curls and a mischievous smile and Rosalie was gorgeous with long waist length blond hair that framed her body in waves.
"This is my adopted bother Emmett and adopted sister Rosalie!" Alice grinned. Emmett held his hand out to Tasha and she grasped it in a firm hand shake. Bella and Rosalie shared a glance that surprisingly Rose broke. Emmett's eyes widened in surprise at how strong Tasha was. Though her strength could not match a vampires it was much stronger than humanly possible.
Bella seemed to notice Emmett's surprise as she whispered, "you' επαν που υποτίθεται για να είναι ανθρώπινος!" (you're supposed to be human )
Everyone stared at her as they tried to understand what Bella said. Alice noticed that Bella was uncomfortable so she stepped in by saying, "You've already met Carlisle and Esme, so you still need to meet Jasper and Edward!" She dragged the two away from the couple to two very attractive young men, one with bronze hair and the other blond. Both looked rather uncomfortable.
"Nice to meet you!" Bella said holding her hand out to Jasper as Tasha and Edward had a glaring match. She glanced at the two after her brief hand shake with Jasper. "Natasha, θα σταματούσατε; Άδεια Edward, και εσύ, για εκείνο τον τρόπο, μόνο!" She snapped her fingers in front of Tasha's face as she spoke. (Natasha, would you stop? Leave Edward, and everyone else, for that manner, alone!)
Edward was surprised to hear his name in the rushed Greek words. Once again the Cullens were staring at Bella in amazement. They turned to look at Natasha as she rolled her eyes and said, "Το OH, παρακαλώ με λέει, Goodie Tooshoos, ότι δεν πλαισιώνετε με τον άθεο!" (Oh, please tell me, Goodie Tooshoos, that you are not siding with the leech!)
Bella sighed as she said, "You' αποδεκτή η το VE Alice! Γιατί can' το τ εσείς δέχεται την οικογένειά της επίσης;" (You've accepted Alice! Why can't you accept her family as well?)
"Δέχτηκα τη Alice, επειδή την συμπαθείτε. Και δεν θα δεχτώ την οικογένειά της επειδή Ι don' το τ θέλει, εμείς don' το τ τους ξέρει, Chris wouldn' το τ είναι ευτυχές, και έχω συναντήσει την ποσόστωσή μου στους φίλους άθεου!" Natasha said simply as she examined her nails nonchalantly. They seemed to be fighting over something. (I accepted Alice, because you like her. And I will not accept her family because I don't want to, we don't know them, Chris wouldn't be happy, and I have met my quota on leech friends!)
Bella groaned and let he head fall to her palm as she said, "Alice, I'm sorry but my sister is a rather difficult person."
Alice cocked her head as she asked, "Was that what you were talking about?"
"Among other things." Bella smiled slightly as she answered Alice's innocent yet knowing question.
"Alice?" Jasper inquired. He was confused, why was she so smug and amused when she was also worried, confused and curious? What did she know that she wasn't telling?
Alice grinned as she said, "They travel a lot so they pick up a lot of languages!" The rest of the Cullen's stared at Alice and their guests until Natasha finally spoke.
"Well I think we should be going!"
Bella sighed and shook her head as she said, "Chris is calling isn't he?" When Tasha grinned and nodded Bella glared at her, "You didn't think to ask me if we would be home?"
"I didn't know Pixie Stick was going to show up and ask us to meet her family!" Natasha replied indignantly.
"Pixie Stick?" Emmett asked with an amused and annoyed look.
"Alice." The twins replied together. "Why do you look annoyed?" Bella asked Emmett slightly nervous her sister was leaving a bad impression.
Emmett grinned as her said, "I can't believe I didn't think of that! All these years and it never came to me! Can you believe it Pixie Stick?" Alice glared at Emmett when he used the twins' nickname for her.
"You can't call me that, Em." She told him, a dangerous tone slipping into her voice.
"Why not? I'm your favorite brother, aren't I? Why can they call you that but I can't?" Emmett whined.
Tasha grinned and Bella started to laugh. "If you can keep it a secret I'll tell you why," Bella paused, but continued when Em nodded eagerly, "You see, Emmett, it's called, selective reasoning." Emmett looked dumbfounded and Tasha started laughing as she explained,
"What she means is, Alice lets us call her Pixie Stick because, one we came up with it, two it is the only form of affection or acceptance she will get from me, and three from anyone else it is an insulting and judging name based off of the observation that she is the embodiment of a stereo-typical pixie." She used Alice's head as an armrest and laughed as everyone stared at her.
"Well, so much for her nickname being the only form of affection!"Bella laughed, "Jas won't be to thrilled to find out you replaced her so easily!"
"Jas will live, and I didn't replace her, I just need an armrest for the time being." Tasha glared at her sister as she understood what her sister wasn't saying, that everyone would be shocked to see that she was so close to a vampire.
"Who are you talking about?" Jasper asked. It was the first time he spoke and Bella grinned as she realized everyone was warming up to them.
"Our family." Bella told them, "Our foster family, Chris is Tasha's...boyfriend. Jas, Jasmine, is his actual sister, Her...boyfriend is Johnathan we call him John. And then we have Ariana and her brother James, and Harmony and her brother Nathaniel. You could probably say our families are similar. Everyone in your family's paired up within the family, so is everyone else in mine."
"How did you know there were couples in our family?" Rosalie accused sharply.
"Its obvious that you and Muscle Man are together, Jasper won't take his eyes of Pixie Stick for more than half a minute, and Carlisle and Esme are married. It's really not that hard to put together, сука!" Natasha retorted angrily. (bitch)
"Natasha!"Bella screeched, "Why are you..." Bella didn't get to finish her sentence because her phone rang. She glared as she answered it, " Jasmine, perché lei ha chiamato questo tempo? Noi ho pensati l'ha detta già solo quando qualcosa offende! " She sounded exasperated and looked annoyed at being called by her foster sister. (Jasmine, why did you call this time? I thought we already told you only when somethings wrong!)
There was a lot of laughter on the other end. Bella growled as she said, "Che sono l'Inferno la fare?!? Perché lei ha chiamato?" Once again everyone stared at Bella in awe as they heard her speak yet another language. Her Italian was perfect, just as her Greek and French had been. Alice was surprised to hear Bella growl and even more surprised to hear her curse at her family. (What the Hell are you all doing?!? Why did you call?)
"Calmarsi Bella!" A high excited female voice chimed.(Calm down Bella!)
"Ci registravamo all'arrivo appena su lei, Jas l'ha detto faremmo." A bored male voice chuckled. (We were just checking in on you, Jas told you we would.)
"Perché lei è sconvolto così comunque, Angel Bells?" A soothing female voice asked. (Why are you so upset anyway, Angel Bells?)
Bella stuttered for a minute until she sighed and said, "Siamo ai nostri vicini a casa per il pranzo." (We are at our neighbors home for lunch.)
"Che Isabella?" A commanding authoritative male voice asked, " Che ha detto lei? A chi è a casa la sono?" (What Isabella? What did you say? Who's home are you at?)
Bella sent a panicked look at her sister who took the phone and left the room as she said, "Il mio perbacco Johnathan! Lei sa che lei non dovrebbe parlare a lei come ciò! Siamo alla nostra casa di vicini, il Cullens. E lei sa che lei non ama essere parlato per amare ciò! L'odia quando le persone prendono arrabbiato! Lei sa che le sue emozioni sono peggiori sui giorni più deboli!" (My gosh Johnathan! You know you shouldn't speak to her like that! We are at our neighbors house, the Cullens. And you know she doesn't like to be talked to like that! She hates it when people get angry! You know her emotions are worse on weaker days! )
Bella gave everyone an apologetic smile as she said, "I'm very sorry about that. Certain members of our family are a bit over protective, they just always call, even when we tell them not to." She knew they had heard the conversation, she also knew they were already suspicious, Thank God Edward can't read our minds she thought.
Alice smiled smugly as she said, "You know we all speak Italian, right?"
Bella laughed as she said, "Yes I know that!"
"Then why did you speak in Italian if you knew we'd all understand?" Alice asked confusedly. She was looking at Bella as if she were frustrated about not understanding something she should.
Bella shrugged as she said, "It's more comfortable for them, they don't appreciate foreign languages as much as me and Tasha do. And even though they can speak them as well as we can, we have the most fluency and practice."
"Actually," Tasha corrected as she entered the room again handing the phone to Bella who put it in her pocket, "Bella is the most fluent. Then Jas but thats just 'cause she can't stop talking and she prefers a reply."
Bella's smile slipped as she said, "We're dead?"
Tasha grinned as she said, "Yep. Johnny-boy recommended we kill ourselves before he gets the chance. The problem is I'm not in the mood for a chain reaction of destruction today."
"Chain reaction of destruction?" Edward asked. He sounded and looked frustrated, most likely because he couldn't read their minds and Alice was blocking him.
"We'll tell you about it sometime but we should probably get going." Bella said politely, "We really need to get back to work at home, I'm sorry."
Alice looked disappointed but brightened as Natasha said, "And if you wouldn't mind lending us the pixie for a while, shes pretty entertaining. And she can actually keep me from killing Bella!
"Well if Alice would like to go and you really want her to come she can go with you." Esme said kindly.
"Why don't you come too, Jasper?" Bella asked suddenly. Jasper was shocked, and ready say he couldn't because he had homework, when he felt how hopeful Bella, Alice, and even the detached and sarcastic Natasha were, he nodded instead with a small smile.
"Great!" Alice chirped happily as she grabbed Jasper and Bells hands and led them outside with Tasha following behind.
"Goodbye, thank you for inviting us over!" Bella smiled just before she was dragged out he door. Tasha paused at the door as well and nodded to them with a small smile on her face.
As they heard the car drive away Carlisle said, "That was interesting."
Swans
"Alice why are you nervous? Is something going to happen?" Jasper asked almost inaudibly.
"No. Nothings going to happen." Alice said at the same volume.
"Alice, do you think we should tell?" Tasha asked in a dry voice.
"Tell what?" Alice turned around in the passenger seat to look at Tasha curiously.
"That we know."
"OH!!!" Alice gasped. She looked into the future and said, "If you do every one will trust you even less."
Bella looked out the window when she suddenly got a chance to bestow her gift. A boy at the high school was considering asking a girl out on a date. They both liked each other but the boy was afraid to ask, thats where she came in. She could save the two heart ache or save energy.
"Bella!!!" Alice's screech brought Bella back from her decision, "Are you okay!?!"
Bella nodded and asked, "Alice? Is there a girl named Angela and boy named Ben in your grade at school?"
Alice was confused as she nodded and asked, "Why?"
"Do you think they're good people?" She asked not answering the question.
Alice was confused as she said, "Yes, Edward says Angela and Ben are the safest minds in the school. And they are both nice to us, so...I'd say they're good people!"
"Don't Bells." Natasha warned.
Bella sighed, "I know."
"What are you talking about?" Jasper asked glancing in the rear-view mirror. At the same time Bella's phone rang again.
A/N: I know its confusing but the languages I used in this chapter are French, Greek and Italian! Sorry if there is any confusion. The point is they've been around since the beginning of the world so they would know quite a few languages! By the way, 'cyka' is the Russian word for bitch! Please review and thank you for reading! I hope you're liking it! C:
